After his death, Lu Li became a bystander and watched him kill Asammonth again.
This former legend, one of the founders of Midnight City, and the respected dean of Giant Tree Academy sadly died as a traitor. Fortunately, at least at the last moment of his life, he regained consciousness and chose to self-destruct.
And the final satisfaction comes from Lu Li being able to make a rational choice.
Strictly speaking, if the old human legal system continues, no one in the strange era will be truly innocent.
The killings Anna committed when she transformed into an evil spirit; the travelers who have been bewitched by the Swamp Mother for hundreds of years; Chris used aliens and alien species as experimental subjects for alchemy; the evil hunter Claire killed in the wilderness; Uninvited
The visitors have killed tens of thousands of people over the decades; every human being steals, fights, robs, and kills in order to survive.
The more civilization develops, the closer humans become to beasts.
Even Lu Li had spared many beings who committed murder.
This is something Lu Li will have to face sooner or later with the goal of rebuilding civilization.
Generally speaking, these faults will not be held accountable, at least not by the people who are in chaos, darkness, and struggling to survive. Only those people who have never experienced despair a long time later, who enjoy food, warmth and safety, see this
A piece of history, and then say: Oh, human beings always make the same mistake, which is to raise the butcher knife against the same kind of people.
Civilization is the clothes of human beings, and they are wrapped in fine clothes.
Therefore, Asammonth's death had nothing to do with causing the destruction of Midnight City, nor was it because of exposing Lu Li's existence, but because he realized that he had been contaminated and would eventually succumb to the abyss again.
"What pollutes Asammonth?"
Lu Li converged into the dreamer and transformed into the form of a black cat again.
Previously, due to maintaining the cursed title for too long, the remaining humanity was far below the warning line. Asammonth's death instantly restored his humanity to 3 copies.
It is a pity that if Asammonth is still alive, he will bring far greater value than a few pieces of humanity.
"The projection of a certain existence in the other world affected him." Chris stretched out her arms to Claire.
The sanity value is in the ignorance period, illusion period, and reality period. Lu Li, who lost the Doomsday Apocalypse, is stuck in the early stage of the illusion period. However, the higher Lu Li's humanity is, the higher his resistance to aura and delirium is. Only when his humanity is lower than 1, it will be incompatible with sanity.
The value stacks negative.
"Do you still doubt me?" Chris, who was holding her daughter in her arms, said to Lu Li. Before he answered, he asked himself: "You should doubt me. The sober Asammons did not mention that there are only two possibilities for me. I am clean.
, he is covering me. Compared with the former, the latter is more reasonable..."
Chrissy's joke was not funny, because Claire obviously took it seriously. He broke away from her with a complicated expression and retreated to Lu Li's side.
Only the undead did not move.
Lu Li followed her words and continued: "So untrustworthy Chris, what are you going to do next?"
"Dealing with the mess Asammonth left...have you brought the key?"
"Ancient stone seal?"
"Um."
"In the stomach pouch."
Lu Li asked Claire to summon the merchant to bring the stomach bag and take out the ancient stone seal and sesame oil.
Only one of the two aliens has been pulled out, and the other is far away in the castle, so Lu Li no longer needs to maintain his cat form.
When Lu Li got into the tomb and put on his shirt, trousers and windbreaker, he felt a distant tremor coming from under his feet, as if an ancient existence was resurrecting.
Lu Li stepped on the wet bluestone steps back to the ground. Chrissy, Claire and the Undead looked towards the direction of Midnight City. The sky over there showed a terrifying hazy color as if the end was approaching.
"What happened?"
The rotting face of the undead showed an ugly expression of despair, pain, and hatred: "The swamp has woken up..."
"It wants to devour Midnight City?"
"I'm afraid not." Chris looked away and looked at Lu Li meaningfully: "It's coming towards us."
"I do not understand."
"When hunters hunt in the barren mountains, they usually drive away the wolves and follow them to wait for the harvest."
Midnight City is occupied by monsters. Facing the threat of the swamp, they can only flee or obey.
Lu Li realized the seriousness of the situation. The situation had not improved at all because of Asammonth's death: "Is it still too late to leave?"
"I'm not sure... I hope your dreamer is strong enough. Claire, if you take him away, you can run as far as you can." Chris stretched out her hand towards Lu Li: "Give me the key."
"Where are you, mother!" Claire noticed that she only mentioned herself and Lu Li.
Lu Li took out the ancient stone seal from his stomach bag and handed it to Chrissy.
Claire caught it, and a chuckle came from the shadow of the hood: "If I were Bad Chris, I would hand over control of you to the swamp at this time."
"Where's Chrissy?"
"Activate the alchemy tower and sacrifice yourself in exchange for your chance to escape." Chris said calmly.
After the Alchemy Tower is activated, it will protect a quarter of Midnight City, allowing Lu Li and the others to leave the city safely.
"We just met again..." Claire whispered reluctantly.
Chris stroked Claire's head with rare gentleness, and suddenly looked at Lu Li in surprise as he took away the stone seal again.
"I'll open the alchemy tower."
Chris stretched out his hand, but Lu Li dodged it.
"The alchemy tower will obliterate all extraordinary powers. The dreamer cannot resist it, and you will not have time to contain it during the siege." Chrissy reminded Lu Li.
"I know."
Chris was silent because of this, a distant strange roar echoed in the dark depths, and all the bat guards in the distance left the castle to fight against the strange invasion.
Claire hesitated to speak, but Chris said: "It's more important for you to be alive."
"Your life is more important than mine." Lu Li replied.
A Chris can restore the occultism in the Land of Light to the level of Midnight City in a short time, but an exorcist can hardly erase the weirdness.
"We are already dead..."
"So I shouldn't die again." Lu Li said calmly.
Before leaving, Lu Li left a bag of his stomach and unfinished tasks: "The uninvited guest's hometown is in Kazgir Town. Find a way to get there and find his wife and daughter."
If there hadn't been this crisis, he should have done this.
Lu Li returned to the street leading to the square again, his steps unwavering. The bizarre dreams wrapped around him, blocking the weirdness that invaded from all directions, "Mother... why didn't you stop him..." Claire stared at the retreating figure.
, unable to bear what happened next: "I know you can do it..."
"Because this is the burial place Lu Li prepared for himself."
Chris thought of Lu Li's calmness and determination when he picked up the stone seal.
He has already prepared...
In the distance, Lu Li finally arrived at the circular square, and amid the angry roars of the weirdos, he embedded the stone seal into the black spire.
The whole city fell into an eerie calm for an instant, and then, scorching light emerged from the long-dormant alchemy tower, ripples from top to bottom. Wherever it passed, the strange black clouds disintegrated and disappeared, like ashes.
