Two hundred and seventy-three. New preparation, new journey
"In Praise of Fright Night."
The disabled residents gathered in a corner of the square to pray for the coming dawn.
Lu Li and Swamp Mother, who were heading to Agate Lake, came to them.
"What are you doing?"
They replied: "Ms. Clare taught us to be grateful for the sacrifice of food. The Night of Fright gave us courage, and we are sincerely grateful for its sacrifice."
"Be careful not to believe."
"We will pay attention, Lord Swamp Mother."
These residents responded respectfully. They were all dying or going crazy, and were trained as potential believers. When the pollution and disease become irreversible, they would be transformed into believers.
Apart from the ridiculous reasons, Horror Night does bring something that Lu Li and the Land of Light can never bring, something that does not really exist - confidence.
Think about it, in the dark ages when humans could only run away when faced with weirdness, only exorcists who had received exorcist training and those who mastered weird abilities dared to raise weapons against weirdness, but everyone had personally killed one or more of them.
It's just strange that the belief in breaking the invisible shackles is more important than anything else.
More importantly, people will not underestimate the enemy.
Even residents who usually brag, "I kill dozens of weirdos with an ax at random" will not become reckless when they see weirdness. The so-called confidence means that they will not throw away their weapons and turn around to run away or stumble over strange things and crawl around.
Stay away from weird things or cower in a corner with a blank mind due to fear, but think when you encounter them.
"In Praise of Fright Night."
Claire, realizing the benefits of the Fright Night, followed the low chant.
But don't come again.
Not so weird next time to satisfy the remaining nine tenths.
This also reminded Lu Li that the rituals of evil spirits were weird and strange, and before eliminating most of the evil spirits, the population of the Land of Light should be controlled.
The God of the Deep Sea cannot be exposed. It has more enemies than friends. Those who want to hunt down the ancient ones can line up from the Land of Light to Broken Mountain Island.
Moreover, the God of the Deep Sea is smarter, but only a little smarter.
I am not insulting the God of the Deep Sea by saying this, but she is indeed not as smart as Pusius and did not have a self. The larvae of the God of the Deep Sea were raised in the temple at the bottom of the lake to absorb human nature and strengthen spirituality.
Arriving at the shore of the agate lake that reflected Anne's shimmering light, the twisted cultists wandering here released their power, and the water parted, revealing a cobblestone path leading to the bottom of the lake.
Anne's glow spread gently, and the water curtain beside the path was swaying with water plants and fluorescent plants, but only the monotonous twisted cultists were swimming.
Danshui fish schools are as hard to find as hope.
The broken halo spilled into the bottom of the lake, and Lu Li and the Swamp Mother entered the abandoned temple at the bottom of the lake.
This temple, abandoned when the Twisted Shadow moved to the bay, has now become the incubation place for the God of the Deep.
"She is sleeping."
The twisted shadow accompanying him whispered, and the young aquatic creature floated and slept in the transparent fish tank.
"How long will it take to wake up?"
"Soon, but after absorbing humanity, she will fall asleep again."
"The ancient ones will not die, they will only fall into eternal sleep"
Before this, Lu Li was unconvinced about this statement, because there was once an ancient Prada who was annihilated by an alien god deep in the starry sky.
But the God of the Deep is indeed alive and has awakened from his eternal sleep.
I just don’t know if the God of the Deep Sea will wake up or a new consciousness will be born?
It sounds like it would be great to cultivate ancient people who belong to the Land of Light, but the Land of Light cannot afford to wait that long.
The vast knowledge held by the Ancient One is equally important, and she is a natural ally.
In any case, the rebirth of the God of the Deep brings good news but also reminds them: stay cautious.
The eternal sleep of the God of the Deep is right in front of them, the survivors of the sinking of Midnight City are still there, and the destruction of the Lennon Islands has also been seen with their own eyes. The land of light is as fragile as a newborn, they must be careful, the news does not make sense, and there is no reason.
, a sudden disaster destroys the land of light.
Lu Li looked at a few black figures in the dark corners of the temple, and they were whispering prayers: "What are they doing?"
"They were once followers of the God of the Deep Sea, and I returned them to the God of the Deep Sea."
The gods of the deep are seeds, and so are they.
Lu Li and the Mother of Swamps, the Twisted Shadow, left the temple where the God of the Deep was sleeping. The lake water was tinged with orange because the early sun was rising from outside the hole.
Anne's glow dissipated in the morning light, casting its shadow to the back of the mountain.
"The rainy season is almost over."
The Swamp Mother looked at the fluttering clouds on the edge of the dark clouds that had not yet enveloped the land of light.
Not surprisingly, this will be the last rain. The weather will gradually get colder, and it will be as low as single digits in October.
The strange residents are not afraid of the cold, but it is difficult for human residents to survive the cold winter with their flimsy shacks.
They have to stock up on supplies and relocate for the coming winter.
The stilts in the residential area are still quiet, and people who have been tired all night are sleeping soundly. But there are still some residents who are busy.
The hospital, which has been built for nearly two months, has finally received a large number of patients. The wards are so overcrowded that they have to lie down in the corridors and even let patients take care of themselves due to lack of manpower.
"Severely injured 76ers will be converted into believers." Swamp Mother said.
Minor injuries will gradually recover under the vitality emanating from Annie.
Continue to the slaughterhouse. The banyan tree guards are rooted here, absorbing nutrients and eliminating the hatred caused by the corpses.
The workers are busy, seizing the time to process, cut the meat, and send it to the food processing plant for canning.
The less contaminated ones will be stored and eaten by humans, while the more contaminated ones will be simply packaged and sold to the old sewers. Merchant Anthony has set up a shop in the Midnight City Terminal with the help of Worms and Steam Silhouettes, and the Sisters Church.
.
Currently, we mainly sell sunshine boxes and cans that are constantly on the shelves.
The former is expensive and no one cares about it, but the latter is well-received - weirdos who are accustomed to raw food like this kind of food soaked in flavorful soup, except that the portion is too small.
The Swamp Mother is planning to reduce the price of the sunshine box, or selectively give it to potential allies who can be allies - she regards the weirdness as the disputes between countries, dukes, and fiefs during the Duchy of St. Mark.
After all, the old sewers were indeed shrouded in order.
Looking around at the current situation of the Land of Light, Lu Li was about to set off again.
Go to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Guild in the former Cairnria Empire.
"Have you changed your mind?"
"The quiet time is just along the way. When I return to the land of light, the quiet time is no longer a priority."
Moreover, the Silent Hour, which once almost wiped out the human race, can no longer pose a threat to the surviving humans, just like the Shadow of the Fire Stealer in the past and the Light Stealer now.
Next, Lu Li will investigate the truth about "The Dream Demon" and explore the original source of darkness on the other side of the world's Back Ridge Mountains.
The latter left humans trapped in Mount Sugard, unable to extend to the Allen Peninsula.
The former is about the truth about the world being invaded by weird things.
