In the depths of the church illuminated by lightning, the sticky and slippery shadows flashed away, and the thunder surged and spread.
What did he miss?
Lu Li, who was drifting in the rainy night, approached the church again, but found nothing. The water that seeped into the church was quiet and cold, with no strange traces or crawling marks, as if what he had seen before was just an illusion.
Maybe we can get a glimpse of the truth in the other world?
Lu Li has not yet tried to enter the ghost world in his nightmares - he is worried that the nightmare stones will not be able to reveal the deep world.
But maybe thinking about it from another perspective, if the nightmare appears in the world... it may prove that everything here is real.
The ghosts in the rain gradually dimmed, and among the obscure whispers, Lu Li entered the other world.
At this moment, a sense of rejection that had never appeared before suddenly enveloped Lu Li's illusory soul. Before being squeezed out of the nightmare by the pure black stone, Lu Li glimpsed a shadow across the church auditorium. She did not really exist, and the ghost world was only a projection.
Her shadow, and then everything in her field of vision shattered.
Lu Li returned to the cave where the sound of waves continued day and night, and the faded pure black stones were accumulating new strength.
He wasted an opportunity.
Silent, Lu Li returned to the stone room and quietly read the records about the "Two-Faced God" sent from the Land of Light by the fire.
The Lennon Islanders' belief in her can be traced back to the arrival of the pioneers and new immigrants to the Lennon Islands. They initially believed in the church's fictional sea god, but gradually discovered the dilapidated temples and mysterious statues when they occupied the Lennon Islands.
.It is a double-faced figure that looks like two people cut in half vertically and then glued together from the front. The four clasped arms are like umbrella stands - this description comes from the main scroll that is dismissive of rural gods.
Mainlanders and Lennon Islanders believe in her loyally.
For hundreds of years, there have been miracles that can be recorded every few years, but whether flowers bloom overnight or fish gather in a harbor, these are all events that can be created artificially, and there are very few that are truly miracles.
Does the Two-Faced God not exist, or is his true identity hidden?
Are the cultists spreading the plague related to the Two-Faced God, or are they just the work of evil invaders who invaded the Lennon Islands?
At least it's not recorded in these materials.
There is no evidence that the Two-Faced God really exists, and there is no evidence that the Two-Faced God does not exist.
"You are much earlier than before." Merchant Anthony brought the inquiry of the Swamp Mother.
"Something unexpected happened."
"Is it important?"
Lu Li shook his head,
The meaning of the returned action represented by Anthony the Merchant.
Leaving early meant that the pure black stone was accumulating strength in advance. The next morning, the nightmare was full again, and Lu Li returned to the Lennon Islands at noon, which was as dark as the evening.
The church still stood in the rain. Without any warning, a dark crack opened on the street outside the church, and hateful and viscous gas gushes out from the abyss-like underground.
Lu Li realized something and looked into the distance. Countless cracks appeared on the earth like closed eyes.
The breakup of the Lennon Islands has begun.
Knowing that the pure black stone was just a recorded nightmare, no matter how difficult it was for Lu Li to be emotionally disturbed by what he saw before him, he would not abandon Qiao Qiao and the others.
"You still have people on the island."
Lu Li said to the church at his feet: "Destroy the island and they will die."
No response.
But when Lu Li was about to leave, a weak and hoarse whisper sounded from the darkness of the church.
"It's useless... they are eating away at God, destruction is inevitable..."
A silhouette crawled out from the corner of the dark church, and Lu Li recognized him as a pickpocket who had stolen things on the deck.
"It's you."
"You know me?"
The pickpocket's legs were severely deformed, with missing skin and flesh, and exposed bones, as if they had been crushed by an angular object.
Lu Li avoided the question: "Who are they?"
"People infected with the curse. Why do you think they are all gone?"
"They are attacking the Two-Faced God." Lu Li realized that he was very close to the truth.
The church began to tremble, and Lu Li continued to ask: "Do you know what happened?"
"I saw it with my own eyes..." the pickpocket whispered slowly.
The truth is nothing more than a drama of cultists cannibalizing local gods.
The Two-Faced God really exists, and the Lennon Islands are its body. But now, the body that has been eaten away by cultists is disintegrating.
"Are the people on the island hopeless?"
Houses are collapsing in the distance, church beams are falling, and rainwater is falling into the auditorium.
"There is indeed hope...but do you dare to believe me?"
Before the collapse, Lu Li took him away from the crumbling church and flew towards the lighthouse.
The earth under the gray rain curtain is scarred, and the cracks are filled with abominations, like the black slime formed by the fusion of countless infected people. They seep out of the ground and eat away at the devastated islands.
Queen's Island is falling apart.
After returning to the lighthouse with the pickpocket, the people were frightened by the tremors and the disaster in the distance. Lu Li's return gave them a little peace of mind.
"What happened outside?" Qiao Qiao looked at the person brought to the lighthouse by Lu Li, "Is it you?"
Pickpockets know why they know themselves.
Lu Li said to the people who were looking at him: "The Lennon Islands are being broken up. He said there is a way for us to escape."
"How?"
The pickpocket endured the pain and said: "I know the ancient spell of the Two-Faced God...to summon her ship of refuge."
Of course they pray that gods will save them, but that doesn't mean they really believe...
"Then let's go and leave the lighthouse."
Lu Li made the decision for them.
Abandoning all their luggage and food, people returned to the bottom of the lighthouse via the vertical ladder. Lu Li lifted up the searchlight blocking the door and escorted them away from the dangerous lighthouse.
Stopping in front of the coastline, Lu Li asked Pingshu: "What should we do next?"
"I want to summon the wooden boat."
"What do you need?"
"Please put me in the sea water...but I'm not sure..."
"No one will blame you."
"……Thanks."
The young man took a deep breath and strengthened his faith. uuReading www.uukanshu.com allowed Lu Li to place him on the shallow beach. The stinging pain from the sea water made him tremble in pain, and then an obscure prayer could be heard from the gap between his teeth.
People waited anxiously on the beach. The distant sounds of collapse and spreading cracks continued. The earthquake and mountain shaking made it difficult for them to stand firm. The lighthouse that had protected them not long ago collapsed suddenly.
But there was no despair or last-minute hope that is typical of drama: a few empty wooden boats, just big enough to hold everyone, loomed on the vast sea.
At this time, the young man fell into the sea water, and the shadow of the double-faced god overlapped in his body and disappeared.
Lu Li picked up the young man from the sea and found that he had been dead for a long time.
Lu Li remained silent and asked people to get into the wooden boat. The boat slowly and steadily sailed away from the collapsed island.
On the dark, vast sea, everyone who had survived the disaster looked into the distance: the seawater surged into the cracks, swallowing up the soil and buildings like an abyss, and the terrifying undercurrent disturbed the entire ocean, gradually filling the broken vacancy of Tamboul Island.
Just like the curtain call after a stage play comes to an end, several wooden boats slowly float into the distance with the ocean current.
