One hundred and seventy-seven. Every day in the land of light
The scorching wind that corrodes the soul blows through the shimmering silhouette.
Lu Li stood in a desolate dark red world, under the strange and surging clouds like a nightmare, lava flowed like a river in the vast wilderness, and hellish creatures roamed the earth.
This scene reminded Lu Li of an oil painting called "Heaven and Hell". On the left are sunlight, white clouds, hills, rivers, and sheep grazing with their heads down. On the right, the sunlight turns into dark red light, the white clouds turn into whirlpools, and the hills turn into
It became barren, the rivers became lava, and crawling hellish creatures swam.
hell.
Lu Li came again, after losing contact between the human world and hell.
Because of the devil's curse?
Lu Li's eyes fell on the inverted pentagram on the back of his hand, which was emitting heat and light. The devil's daughter was coming, or it might be the devil.
Standing on the low hill and waiting, Lu Li looked at the hellish creatures wandering on the barren gravel. They seemed to sense the wonderful breath of souls brought by the hot wind and approached the low hill where Lu Li was.
Humanoid outlines, crawling on limbs like beasts, thin, hairless gray-brown skin covered with scars or missing. These lemures rekindled Lu Li's long-standing memories.
The heat wave baked Lu Li's soul, but he didn't feel any discomfort. The vitality represented by the three human beings allowed him to exist in the form of a soul in hell for a long time, which was quite attractive.
The timid lemures, who usually only dare to hunt when they gather in groups, start running wildly and attacking when they approach the low hills, because Lu Li's alluring aura makes them crazy.
The burning sensation on the back of the hand suddenly became intense, and smoke began to rise like a red-hot iron imprinting on it, essentially condensing into the outline of a woman's head with goat horns.
The approaching lemures whimpered and screamed at the superior's aura and fled.
"I'm here to fulfill my promise."
Although death was not the eternal sleep he imagined, Lu Li didn't mind completing the contract. Perhaps it was because of the contract witnessed by the ancient God of the Deep that his soul was preserved.
"I didn't explain it clearly, so you thought you could go to hell after death, or was there some kind of accident?" The pentagram on the back of his hand returned to darkness, the devil's female horns, and the dark-skinned female head stared at Lu Li in a complex manner.
"You didn't make it clear." Lu Li said.
The Devil's Daughter didn't believe his words, but lacked evidence: "If there was no contract, I would even think you were deliberately dragging me down."
"You have to know that I am fulfilling the contract at the cost of my life." Lu Li said calmly.
The solid smoke became scarce as the devil's daughter took a deep breath, and she avoided the topic: "Do you still have your ability?"
A bizarre dream halo briefly appeared behind Lu Li: "They are not affected."
"There is good news after all." The Hengtong of the Devil's Daughter was no longer sharp: "The current situation is that my father knows about your death and asked me to bring back your soul. The original plan no longer applies."
It warned Lu Li: "Exorcist, if you still want to return to the human world, do as I say."
"What should I do?"
"Hunt those hellish creatures before my true body arrives, and absorb nutrients to strengthen myself."
"How can you help me in the meantime?"
"Time. Twenty-five days, this is the time I can delay."
"Won't my actions attract the devil's attention?"
"The king of this place is not my father, and do you care about an ant fighting around in the backyard?"
Because of the contract, the Devil's Daughter doesn't worry about Lu Li being lazy, and Lu Li doesn't worry about the Devil's Daughter having any conspiracy.
"How do you want to deal with your father."
"It's not time to tell you yet... seize the time to grow..."
But it still hides some things.
The outline of the devil's daughter became ferocious and disappeared as the smoke drifted away.
The lemures who fled in the distance because of the Devil's Daughter's aura wandered back, following their instincts and approaching again.
Lu Li took the initiative to face the roaring lemures, but he didn't even need to release the cursed title. They just hit the vitality of human transformation, and the invisible thick barrier of vitality transformation rolled and turned into charcoal.
And harvesting humanity from them is like cutting down a tree.
Perhaps an endless army of evil demons attacking Lu Li can barely sustain Hell's consumption of humanity.
The lemures wandering in hell are nothing but ashes that have been burned out without any warmth remaining.
The last lemure fled in fear because of the death of its companions or because it was alone. However, it lost its memory before leaving the low hill because greed struck again and turned into a charred silhouette.
Lu Li looked into the distance again. Under the dark red sky, which was like uncooled lava, the edges of the land covered with magma tributaries were molded by heat waves. Only the lemures wandered in this barren, dry and cracked land.
The place where the Devil's Daughter asked him to destroy hellish creatures to increase his strength was obviously not here.
Lu Li tried to identify the position and direction of his feet.
As an inner world related to the main world, Hell is an expansion of the main world. Belfast, which is just an ordinary extinct volcano, becomes a giant mountain comparable to the world's back mountain range in Hell. The Ellen Peninsula extending from the main continent is in Hell.
Hell is wider than the main continent.
From this gentle hilly wilderness, Lu Li searched to find the location of Midnight City in his memory, and then he walked east.
The devil is on the main continent in the west. Going in the opposite direction may delay the devil's daughter longer.
And you always have to choose a direction.
Before more unburnable ashes burned out and the lemures discovered him, Lu Li stepped down the low hill and walked alone on the desolate land where the heat wave distorted his vision.
Maybe it was just his soul, maybe he was born from death. Lu Li was still rational and calm, but he became pure after being separated from the body and obsession. At first, Lu Li thought that he would meet his old friends in hell. It would be a good thing to see them again, but here is
The desolate land. When Lu Li set foot on the desolate land, hell had already cut off the relationship with the human world. Even if someone familiar came to the desolate land, they would not be able to meet each other due to the vastness of hell.
Lu Li was destined not to meet any old friends, whether friends or enemies, here.
People usually use hot and scorching to describe the weather, but in hell, the adjectives are replaced by scorching hot and scorching hot.
Boil the blood and roast the soul.
Just because this is hell, a barren place that even weirdos don't want to touch. Boiling molten lava flows thickly in the river, pungent sulfur floats in the scorching air, and the flame pillars spurt out with the burning heat of all things.
.
Lu Li circled around, jumped over the lava river, and avoided the volcanic eruption of flame pillars. As time went by, he gradually lost his way in hell, and could only hope that he had not strayed too far from the direction.
Hell is not a pure projection like the otherworld of ghosts, and changes in the human world will not be reflected in hell;
After several hours of progress, the only people he encountered along the way were lemures. Fortunately, as long as his humanity remained, Lu Li would not be affected or tired.
There is no night in hell, only endless desolation and heat, as well as the bumpy figures moving forward in the desolation.
