109. Paradise Valley

Amid people's whispers, Lu Li opened the abominable container and took out an ancient wooden box.

"Here is the sunshine from the land of hope."

When Tesla was still hesitating, Remi took it and opened it.

The dazzling light of noon pours out from the overflowing sun box, and the flowing golden ocean makes people intoxicated and nostalgic, at least Remy is intoxicated, Tesla is nostalgic

Others in the house had a different reaction, screaming vehemently "This is a curse I'm melting", knocking down chairs, making noise, and fleeing out the door as if the sunlight falling on them was some kind of vicious pollution.

Even the outside was disturbed by the noise. Jimmy opened the door, looked in, and stopped them from leaving.

Lu Li was his family, not the people he had lived with for twenty years.

Tesla's cloudy eyes on the wooden chair reflected the sunshine and the people, and his tone was full of sadness: "You long for everything to go back to the beginning, but you don't even know what sunshine is?"

"It comes from the Land of Deception, it is the curse of the Land of Deception!"

Some people screamed, huddled in the shadows, tearing their faces, as if they were melting.

Tesla, who reflected more sunlight, expressed a sense of irony: "Is it possible that the place of fraud imitated the real sunlight?"

Remi thought they were noisy, so they could only open their mouths but couldn't make a sound. When the silence returned, Tesla sighed: "They are a group of pitiful people...weirdness has already broken their spines and made them breathless."

"

"I know." Lu Li said.

A group of pitiful, pathetic people overwhelmed by fear.

Remi was not as kind as Tesla. She tended to be direct, holding up the sun box to shine on the screaming people, until their throats became hoarse, their skin was scratched, and they were too tired to move. Then they moved the sun box and told

Their truth.

After saying this, regardless of whether they believed it or not, she returned to Lu Li and picked up the things she had deliberately left for last.

"What is this?"

"Psychic gun."

Remy opened the holster of the gun, endured the corrosion caused by the psychic gun, and deliberately asked: "A psychic gun that only exorcists have?"

"Um."

Lu Li took back the psychic gun and holster from Remi.

"Are you an exorcist?"

"Always."

After closing the radiant sunshine box, the house returned to darkness and was deprived of warmth. People who were surviving the disaster suddenly realized that except for the wounds they scratched, the thing called "sunshine" did not cause any harm.

"Can you tell us more about the outside world?"

When they calmed down, Tesla asked cooperatively, and he really wanted to know.

Lu Li nodded and started talking about what he saw and heard when he left the underground.

The Town of Gods, the only Midnight City and Wiener-Free Port, the occult system, the fall of Midnight City, the fall of Wiener-Free Port, the awakening of the ancient ones, the disappearance of the ancient ones, the illusion and inheritance of Midnight City,

The birth of the Land of Hope, the reconstruction of the Weiner Underground City, and the recovery of the Land of Hope. By coincidence and necessity, Lu Li was involved in every incident.

"You did a great job..." Tesla realized that this evaluation could not bear what Lu Li had done, and added: "No one can do it better than you..."

People didn't believe it, but some people hesitated because of Tesla Remi's trust and Lu Li's words.

"Can you let us see the sunshine again?" asked a middle-aged man with scratches on his face.

Lu Li gave him the sunshine box and told them that if the wooden box was returned, the sunshine would not be worth anything, but the wooden box was valuable.

"Can you leave? I'll show you the real 'Paradise Valley'" Remi invited Lu Li.

Lu Li stood up and left the house with Remitas, leaving the people in the room surrounding the sun box.

The open forest glade dispelled the depression caused by the low-rise houses. Jimmy couldn't help but nuzzled towards Lu Li, but was driven away by his disgusted sister. The children allowed themselves to get close to Lu Li. As for the other people... they didn't know Lu Li and didn't hear him.

According to the story, they regarded Lu Li as a weirdo and hid in the house.

"Can you still name them?"

Remy held the children's shoulders. After the charred shells disappeared, they shrank in size, like fuzzy children covered with gauze.

One of the children had a wooden eye frame attached to his eyes, and Lu Li recognized it: Weier. The other one was wearing a hat.

"This is little Jimmy, the same name as me." Jimmy put it on his shoulder and spoke solemnly.

Wei'er's small soft-bodied hand slipped into her palm, and Lu Li held it and walked past the slanted hut in Paradise Valley.

Fluorescent plants are the only things that emit light in this land. Although people collect them and plant them everywhere, it is still not much brighter than night, and it is dark and difficult to see.

"She is surrounded by vast forests, far away from disputes. Animals gather here, plants are still growing, honey-like rivers flow, and people who escape the world migrate here, it is like paradise..."

Remy sarcastically read out the long poem of Paradise Valley: "This is obviously a scam."

Many people looking for Paradise Valley are therefore immersed in the false illusion of a deceitful place.

"But this place is indeed secluded from the world. There are no weird attacks. As long as no one harms the trees, no one will harm us..." Remi pointed to the fluorescent plants that can be seen everywhere: "We rely on their fruits to satisfy our hunger. There is very little pollution, but eating them will cause

The person glowed for hours.”

"Because we can't harm trees, we only have seven houses, but there is a lot of firewood and branches can be picked up casually."

They took Lu Li to the animal pen, where Ampei and some animals that broke into Paradise Valley were kept in captivity.

Abe was so excited that he almost knocked down the animal pen and expressed his closeness to Lu Li.

"Why don't you leave here?" Lu Li stroked Amp's hard shell.

"We have been to the edge, and darkness is everywhere." Tesla said the reason Lu Li had heard not long ago: "It's harder to survive outside than here. At least in Paradise Valley we don't have to worry about weirdness."

"You want to take us away?" Remi suddenly asked

"Um."

"I promise you."

Remi looked at her brother, and Jimmy agreed: "I have no objection."

"... Then Remy, Jimmy and the children will be left to you." Tesla said in a low tone and walked slowly outside.

"I'll go and persuade him." Remi looked at Tesla's back.

"I'll go."

Lu Li left the animal pen and followed Tesla to a cemetery with tombstones.

"I thought you would accuse me and angrily say, 'The investigator should not look so pitiful and decadent'..." Tesla sat down on a polished stone bench.

"I came from outside and know how bad it is outside." Lu Li stood behind him and looked at the tombstone in front of him.

"After Adangfuya leaves, I just want to stay here with her..." Tesla said slowly: "What about you? What do you want to do after losing Anna?"

"Do what I have to do until I die."

"And meet her in the land of the dead?"
