Just like the Bloody Lady is just fruit wine made from fermented berries, the Church of God in Black Cat Town has nothing to do with cats.
However, the gods like cats, so they influence their believers. The outline of a cat is carved on an old weathervane, a statue of a cat stands on a church steeple, cat handicrafts are placed in the windows, and there are also cats squatting alone or in groups in the corner.
stone carving.
The images of these cats share a long tail.
The same thing Changwei Luli had only seen in The Flowing Cat. Perhaps this town is inextricably linked to the Flowing Cat.
It’s just that Lu Li has not been involved too deeply in Black Cat Town, nor has he had any contact with the Black Cat Town Church, one of the alliances between the Spirit Towns. It has nothing to do with the fact that they are familiar strangers, and it has nothing to do with the fact that Lu Li learned that Black Cat Town is from them when he was in the tavern.
Age is getting older, and it has nothing to do with hearing that Black Cat Town is also looking for survivors.
Instead, he was intercepted by the cultists and asked Lu Li to pay a price as a ticket.
This means that Black Cat Town is moving from order to chaos.
As a ticket, the price must be something valued, so Lu Li tore off the third arm under his arm and gave it to them, and the pagan reluctantly let him go as he kept his promise.
After getting rid of the entanglement of the local church, Lu Li did not stay long. Before the pagans discovered that it was a fake arm, he returned to the hotel in the old sewer and told the Swamp Mother about the results.
"Can we help here...?"
Swamp Mother thought Lu Li could do it, but Lu Li didn't think so: "I'm afraid not."
It's obvious that Black Cat Town needs help, but moving from middle age to old age means they become chaotic and unscrupulous, which in turn accelerates its aging.
For example, asking travelers to point out tickets.
These factors limit landings from knocking on the door of Black Cat Town, because there is no good night behind the door.
"Then you can only move on...what is your plan..."
"Let the ceremony in the newspaper know my next specific itinerary."
"Why……"
"The survivors of Midnight City may be wandering around, I want them to find me."
Regardless of Ghost Town or Midnight City Terminal, they are both very close to Midnight City and relatively safe.
Survivors are very likely to exist in these two locations. But if they still haven't appeared after Lu Li arrived at Ghost Town and Midnight City Terminal, it only means two possibilities: they don't want to contact any forces, including Lu Li, or they are too weak to come.
Even Lu Li couldn't find it.
And a worse possibility is that Lu Li visited the Linsi family when he was in the Goss Basin. No matter the familiar or unfamiliar Fodor or any other person disappeared, there was only an abandoned mansion covered with dust and cobwebs.
Some terrible curse follows the survivors like a plague of gangrene.
Worried that the Black Cat Town Church would break into the old sewers, Lu Li prepared to go to the Worm Station at night before the newspapers published it. Before leaving, he wrote five letters and commissioned a hunter to take one of the letters to the tavern on the first floor for a hundred shillings.
A letter was sent to the Black Cat Town Church: "Tell the church this is a merchant's eyeball, and then ask them for a strange currency as reward."
He couldn't really watch Black Cat Town die and do nothing.
The first hunter left with his things, and Lu Li found a second hunter, a third hunter, and a fourth hunter.
The last hunter noticed Lu Li's behavior and said in a lazy tone: "Entrust several people to ensure that the things can be delivered, huh? Give me a strange currency, and I can ensure that your things appear in the hands of the cultists."
Lu Li gave him 1,300 shillings, and the hunter curled his lips: "This is not enough."
"1,200 shillings can be exchanged for a weird currency."
"That was half a month ago, now it's 1,600 shillings to one weird currency."
The shilling depreciated faster than expected because the Wiener Dungeon printed shillings day and night. But what was even more profitable was the local merchant houses, which imitated the printing method and printed money at a faster rate.
The shilling will soon be reduced to waste paper, and what makes you happy is that even if it depreciates wildly, the shilling will eventually maintain a low price but will not drop anymore. After all, paper also costs money.
But then there was no need to print the shilling.
"Don't you have any weird currency?"
"No."
Lu Li has it but doesn't know how to use it. Because contribution points are linked to weird currencies to form a standard, the Land of Light needs to store a large amount of weird currencies. The physical currency of contribution points is already being designed, and it has only one requirement: it cannot be copied.
Or it cannot be copied at a production cost lower than the contribution point.
The hunter expressed his distaste for Shilling while accepting the money. Watching him leave the old sewer, Lu Li got on the worm, which was scolded by other passengers for waiting for him, and set off for Ghost Town.
After taking the sleeping potion, Lu Li entered the dreamland to avoid vertigo.
The sound of the tide that never ceased day and night floated in his ears. Lu Li sat quietly under the thin Anne tree, looking at the leaden gray vast sea.
Dreams have no time.
When the clock on the table started to chime, Lu Li left the dreamland.
The worm wriggled its mouth and spit out the passengers. As Lu Li stepped onto the platform, he noticed that several passengers had disappeared. They had scolded the worm for waiting for him for too long.
But it is possible that he left because he was impatient to wait any longer.
Saying goodbye to Worm and walking down the platform leading to the old sewer, Lu Li saw two wooden signs standing there. One was from Meishan Town to Ghost Town, and the other was from Gange Town to Leviathan Town and then to Ghost Town.
route.
However, Lu Li had no intention of embarking on a journey of reminiscence, and even if he returned to the underground rock formations, he would never encounter Friday again.
Except for the new platform, the Ghost Town Station remains unchanged from a few months ago. Only the aliens and aliens soliciting customers in front of the crater abyss have changed one batch after another.
Lu Li paid the price of 50 shillings for the ticket, approached the abyss, and allowed long tentacles to emerge from the abyss, wrapping around his waist and lifting him to the ground.
Landing on the plank road at the edge of the crater, the tentacles swept away the ticket and melted into the darkness. Lu Li withdrew his gaze and looked down at the ghost town sheltered by the giant skeleton in the center of the chest.
This made Ghost Town appear prosperous that Lu Li had never seen along the way.
Get on the fungus carriage that attracts customers on the roadside and jolt along the spine towards the foot of the mountain.
Lu Li asked the groom about what happened in the Ghost Town in the past few months, but the groom didn't know much. The only personal experience he had was that a few months ago, the bones suddenly emerged from the soil under his feet. The earth was shaking that day, the soil fell from the sky, and the bones left the Ghost Town.
, but a few hours later it returned to Ghost Town and took root on the earth again.
"Look, this is the soil that this big guy drilled out and brought out." Fearing that Lu Li wouldn't believe it, the groom showed off and pointed to the soil at the edge of his spine, and proudly said, "Mother and gods protect us."
Lu Li looked at the turned-up soil on the roadside. The deep soil originating from the underground rock formations was exposed on the surface.
Calculating the time, that was when "Mother" went to the Midnight City Terminal to rescue them and take away the eldest sister.
