The appearance of the "door" dampened the joy of resurrection and cast a shadow over the next actions.
Almost everyone who knows about "The Last Exorcist" knows that a curse entangles Lu Li, and the tea party members know more: an unknowable curse has accompanied him from the old days to the present, from death to rebirth. It is difficult for the gods to
Bear it, the ancients have no way of knowing.
Fortunately, Lu Li did not stay in Black Box Town for too long and was not found by the curse during the resurrection ceremony.
Leaving the lair and boarding the worm train, Lu Li was temporarily away from the influence of the "door".
But the shadow still hangs over him.
"Is the curse approaching faster?" Claire asked.
Knowing that it was still walking speed, Claire calculated the distance from here to Midnight City: "Then it will take dozens of days for the curse to catch up with you?"
"Well."
Theoretically, as long as Lu Li doesn't stay in one place for several months, the "door" won't have a chance to get close.
But neither Lu Li nor Tea Party thought that the curse would be that simple - a curse that no one, no weird, strange, alien, Eternal Dreamer, or even the ancients could know except Lu Li.
The killing method in the final stage is just to follow slowly and leisurely.
"Is it possible that the Everlasting Dreamer knew something, but he didn't tell you?" Claire made a random guess, and then explained to herself, "Then he must have a reason not to tell you. I can ask after I get back, um... I definitely won't tell you.
.”
As the worm passes from station to station, the shadow cast by the "door" gradually fades.
In any case, Lu Li's new life did not change the "door".
Claire's wind blocked contact with the sticky inner wall, and until she arrived at the Ghost Town Station, her black robe was still dry.
The Ghost Town station obviously also has a merchant's cabin, and the turnover and safety are guaranteed - but the Ghost Town is right above it, so Lu Li doesn't have to take the slight risk of trading in the old sewer.
On the way to the abyss leading to the Ghost Town, Claire, who had been asking questions along the way, continued to ask: "What is the power of the Mentalist Demon?"
"you do not know?"
"She has been working on that city. Except for Roland, we have never seen her a few times."
"Idealism. As long as it thinks it exists, it will come true."
“Will it make the world a better place?”
"cannot."
"What's that called idealism?"
Let the tentacles from the depths of the abyss take away the tickets, entangle Lu Li and Claire and rise back to the surface, arriving at the safety of the Ghost Town.
The eldest sister was still a guest in the Land of Light. I don't know what she said to her men before leaving. After the elves recognized Lu Li, they stared at him in awe and did not dare to come near.
Lu Li followed the believers to the church and observed the condition of "Mother" - flesh and blood had not grown, but death no longer wrapped around the bones.
"Mother" congratulated Lu Li on his new life. At the same time, he missed his eldest sister and hoped that he would come back as soon as possible.
After greeting the merchants who took him to the Land of Light, Lu Li replenished his humanity and discussed the next actions: to find more survivors of Midnight City and to deal with the swamp.
The former has a higher priority. Although the swamp destroyed Midnight City, what we should worry about now is the strangeness of Midnight City's main station.
It is not difficult to sneak into Midnight City. The problem lies in how to find and control the soul of Midnight City.
Lu Li proposed that just like how he had sneaked into the manor and used the maid Claire as a breakthrough, he would first find a survivor, rely on the wise race Sinan to obtain the memory, use the crown of knowledge to return the memory, and then search for the next one until he occupied an area.
Claire suddenly sniffed at Lu Li: "Now you have turned into a chicken leg again."
Humanity is full of soul.
At this moment, Lu Li has just reached 600 copies of humanity.
Lu Li exuded his humanity, and when it dropped below 600, Claire said his breath was gone.
"So the capacity limit of this new body is 600 copies? Well... you now have six cursed titles..." Claire thought about the connection.
However, 600 humanity is enough for Lu Li to face most difficulties.
"Continue the previous discussion." Lu Li continued the unfinished conversation: "Why do you think the soul will not agree with us."
"A lamb comes to you and tells you that you are a member of the flock. Would you believe it?" Claire floated close to the land, bathing in the humanity that made buds sprout from the cracks in the floor. "They lost their memory.
, and lose this part of being a human being. My mother and I are the few people who have left a mark."
"Then control them."
The second question is, how to identify the soul of Midnight City?
The True Seeing Eye can help them find the soul of Midnight City, but it cannot take the merchant route. By the time Andrea sends the True Seeing Eye to Storm Point and then from Storm Point to Ghost Town, winter has arrived.
They didn't have much time to waste, let alone encounter the "Gate" in Black Box Town. The long time was enough for the "Gate" to shorten the distance between them and Lu Li, and chase them to Ghost Town.
"Then let's do it together. Let the Land of Light continue to send true-seeing eyes, and let's sneak into Midnight City to investigate first."
Sparks of inspiration burst out from his thinking, and Lu Li came up with an idea: "We can pretend to be weird."
Just like the last time he came.
Weiwei will not know Lu Li's whereabouts, nor will he know Lu Li's resurrection, nor will he know Lu Li's departure and return.
"A group of powerful and evil monsters came from the west of Midnight City. They occupied the Viscount's castle and became an emerging force that wandered around in terror, screaming..."
Claire whispered to exaggerate the cold and terrifying atmosphere, then suddenly raised her head and stared at Lu Li: "What do you think of this script?"
It was Lu Li who suggested it, but Claire was particularly excited.
"great."
Lu Li has been dealing with weird things, but has never been close to them - this is a good opportunity.
Integrate them, become them.
Then convert them.
If the plan is to be carried out, just the two of them are not enough. Lu Li needs more helpers to maintain his power.
"You and I can handle most situations when it comes to fighting, but we need companions to negotiate with weird people. I have some suitable candidates... What do you think of those young people in Black Box Town?"
The Bloodline family possesses various wonderful abilities, such as Roglinton's power to turn into stone and ignore all pollution.
"It's not easy for them to come over."
For them to trek from Black Box Town to see the ghosts is not only dangerous, but also time consuming.
The Bloodline Family Alliance couldn't help, so they could only ask "Mother" and her church to help.
Lu Li told the church about his demands, and they would look for teammates who were trustworthy and capable.
And crucially:
"You need a new name."
Claire, who is keen on playing weird identities, suggested.
"Little Remy?"
Lu Li guessed what Claire was thinking.
Claire shook her head seriously.
"We need a great title that will make weirdos tremble, cowards scream, and devout people worship..."
"Do you have any ideas?"
Lu Li had no intention of thinking about a new name, and it turned out that he had made a mistake.
"Yes...I thought of a suitable title," Claire shouted enthusiastically and euphorically: "So...remember your new name——"
