A brilliant dreamlike halo representing beauty floats nearby.
Lu Li approached the halo and merged into it
The dazzling sunshine shines from the blue sky, seagulls hover under white clouds like blank oil paintings, the whistles of docking ships set off the hustle and bustle of Rodster Port, and rows of palaces stand along the shore of Agate Lake.
Elena's imagination of the land of light is somewhat off, whether it's the sky, old Belfast or the Agate Lake camp.
Lu Li appeared behind Elena who was sitting on the window sill overlooking the beautiful "Land of New Hope".
"The sunshine that impressed me most was so long ago that it seemed like it was in my previous life..."
Elena's tone was as brisk as a girl's, knowing that Lu Li was coming and that this was a dream.
The sleep potion does not have this ability. It will only make the person who takes the potion fall asleep and have a dream of unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes.
The reason for Elena's sobriety is quite cruel. She is clearly aware of her nightmare-like abominable form. When she discovers that she is human, she will realize that this is just a short-lived and illusory dream.
"How much do you know about the Whirlpool?"
"What happened?"
Two voices sounded at the same time, and Elena turned her head and looked at Lu Li to signal him to speak first.
Lu Li did not ask about the situation in the Whirlpool Land, but simply told Elena what happened just now.
"The whirlpool will sweep away everything it touches." Elena repeated the motto of unknown origin again: "I know these will happen..."
"What message is there other than giving up on yourself?"
With just the right gentle breeze blowing, Elena, wearing a light blue dress, held the ends of her hair around her ears.
"I'm sorry...the despair here has enslaved me for too long...are we pressed for time?"
"You can be as detailed as possible."
It won't take long for the Swamp Mother and the Twisted Shadow to realize that they have lost contact. They will spend some time discussing or asking the Ever Dreamer. No matter what the outcome is, they will inevitably invade the Whirlpool Land again.
"It seems we are lucky." Elena extended her hand to Lu Li and prepared to stand up: "The thing I thought of in order not to turn into a monster happened to be used...?"
Elena turned around in confusion and found that Lu Li was not there to support her raised arm, so she put it down again: "Let me think about where to start..."
"'A vortex sweeps away everything it touches.' You wouldn't think that this sentence is a proverb circulating in a small town... If you look carefully enough, you will find that this sentence is everywhere... on the walls, in the tree trunks, Under the table, there are various words and symbols. These come from regretful people and weird people..."
"These guys who were attracted by the vortex began to think that this was a pure land, a new faith, and a patron saint. Then they became curled up. Some guys wanted to leave, but found that they couldn't get out at all, so they could only stay here and be continuously polluted. Their bodies They become more and more bent, and their consciousness will disappear... I shouldn't say that, I mean they will rely on, belong to the whirlpool, like a pagan whose faith has been tampered with. I don't know why I am okay, maybe I have a Sister Evil God?"
"You should see that this place is much bigger than last time. I don't know whether the expansion of the Whirlpool Land caused the town to be built or the construction of the town caused the Whirlpool Land to expand. At that time, there were only a dozen circles, but now there are five Fifteen circles. Usually the number of circles of the vortex people represents status. The more circles, the closer you live to the core. But there is a group of vortex people who have privileges. They and we are like two species. We are like a pile of pure pollution. Twisting their bodies, they become another species, like...like the genus of the god of vortex..."
Remembering that this was a dream, Elena floated down the window sill, relying on her imagination to emerge a contradictory and unimaginable outline.
Just as Elena described it, it is essentially different from the vortex people who are simply piled up in circles. Their curly bodies seem to be suffering from crotch disease and are covered with twisted fine lines, and dozens of curled hair-like hairs have been burnt. Only the tentacles or arms extend to the sides of the body.
The twisted sea anemone-like body structure made them more acceptable than the ugly vortex people, but Elena didn't want to see them and wiped away their outlines like a rag.
"We call them guards. They live in the last ten circles and guard the tower. Unless we become them, we are not qualified to enter the core. Well... I know these, I should have missed some, you can ask me. By the way, yesterday you It starts from the border with the Yujin District, and many whirlpools and guards are heading there."
Lu Li indeed had many questions accumulated: "The power of the Whirlpool People, how many Whirlpool People there are, how many Whirlpool People have been led away, and what is in the tower."
"The first question is, the vortex man's attack is to stretch and curl his body to eject. I haven't seen the guards yet. The second question is, I can't give you the specific number, but it seems that there are at least several thousand... I remembered it." Elena was confused: "At regular intervals, enough circles of vortex people will be brought into the core area, but I have never seen them come out, nor have I seen an increase in guards..."
Lu Li thought of that tall tower, but it probably couldn't hold so many whirlpool people.
"The third question, there are many, very many. You should have seen the streets very empty when you came. I think at least half of the people in the vortex have left the town, and more left after my sister joined. The fourth question, I don't know. , I can’t get close to the core area...I guess it’s the altar of the God of Whirlpool or something they use to please the God of Whirlpool?”
"Tell me about the God of Whirlpool."
"I can't tell you..." Elena leaned against the window sill: "Participating in prayers and beliefs will increase pollution, and I'm afraid of losing myself... I only know that the God of Whirlpool has never appeared, and the only thing that proves its existence is The only trace is the pollution here.”
"What should we do if we want to get close to the tower?"
"I can't offer advice...I don't know anything about that place...Rather than taking the initiative to attack, I prefer that we wait for my sister's rescue..."
Suddenly, the surroundings became hazy and dark, with Lu Li and Elena becoming the only clear silhouettes.
"What's going on?" Elena asked strangely.
"It's waking us up outside."
…
"Pollution is the badge of honor of the exorcist!" Langer said stubbornly, geniuses are usually paranoid.
Porter, the titular "captain", couldn't persuade him, but he knew who could: "But I think you should wait for the Exorcist to decide."
Sure enough, the paranoid Langer fell into silence, looking down at Flesh Mold Lake's wounds and blood pendant: "Then I'm going to keep bleeding like this?"
"Tuck it back in, or do what we did."
Potter patted his collar.
Langer finally decided to stuff it back, cleaned the wound and wasted a bottle of healing potion. He looked out the window and suddenly said strangely: "Do you think... it looks like a chimney?"
"What?"
Porter came to the window and looked at the tower, his face showing surprise.
