The eldest son of the Abyss Demon, the Mayfly Demon, disappeared after coming to the surface.
At that time, the old era was coming to an end, and the era of weirdness was about to begin, when weirdness invaded on a large scale.
Coincidentally, Midnight City is located in the west of Darkfield, Haunted Town is located in the west of Midnight City, and Unknown Tomb is located in the west of Haunted Town.
They form a straight line on the map.
How do the demonic traits of the second neighbor relate to the Mayfly Demon?
Thinking allowed Lu Li to escape from the shadow of the "foul slime soup". He realized the flaw of this body, or the flaw of living: the senses would affect his judgment.
When you become a ghost, you only have emotions.
Even when he was mentally shocked by "food", Lu Li had an idea that shouldn't have surfaced: Claire's cooking skills are as bad as Anna's. Is it possible that Claire is Anna?
From the dining room to the basement entrance, Lu Li used the closed basement as a prison for his new neighbors.
When encountered, its scream seems to call its companions, and the closed basement can block the scream from coming out.
Squeak——
As soon as Lu Li opened the basement door, the whimpering wind brought Claire there.
"Interrogation? I'm good at this."
Claire volunteered.
But Lu Li had no use for it. After entering the basement, he closed the door, released the dream to capture his neighbors, and guided the mottled dream to reveal the content he wanted.
Neighbors' memories were quickly traced back, plundered, killed, and grew...
It never left the Midnight City until the dreamland retreated to the time of its birth. Its new neighbor was covered in mucus and flying clumsily in the dark sky. It turned its head and looked at the countless shadows and dark depths that were also flying by.
A bloated nest of flesh and blood.
Lu Li asked Claire: "Do you know this lair of flesh and blood?"
"I haven't seen it. It's not in the south of Midnight City..." Claire asked Lu Li to go back to the scene of the Flesh Nest, and then stopped to observe the outline of the World Tree in the distance.
"It's east of Midnight City."
As the direction facing the unknown depths of the Dark Wilderness, the eastern part of Midnight City is the most severely eroded.
This neighbor comes from the east, a mother's nest that breeds weirdness.
"What are you going to do?" Claire asked.
A long and narrow shadow now fell into the basement, and Ophelia followed.
"On hold for now."
Finding the Mayfly Demon was not their top priority. All Lu Li could do was tell Abyss City what he had discovered.
If they are willing to come over, they can help more.
"What did you find?" Lu Li asked Claire about the situation in Castle.
"What else could it be? The weird ones have occupied the castle as expected. We have to take it back." Claire clenched her fists like a passionate young man, "Then establish your own order, capture the other three districts of Midnight City, and become the uncrowned king.
!”
"Is she always like this?"
Lu Li looked at Ophelia. She was not like this when she came out of Midnight City.
Ophelia replied hoarsely: "Dean Chris said that souls will change their temperaments because they become weird."
"Don't speak ill of me in front of me!"
Dissatisfied, Claire blocked Ophelia's mouth with the wind, and said to Lu Li: "If you want to solve the soul of Midnight City, or solve the swamp at a deeper level, occupying Midnight City is the prerequisite."
Lu Li neither admitted nor refused.
Claire guessed what he was thinking: "Then let's start from the south."
Castle, one of the weakest forces in the south, died and left, and Lu Li also died with many strange things.
The west was disliked and avoided by Weird because it was close to the edge of the Dark Wilderness and close to the town of gods. If the south had not been weakened by Lu Li, it would have been the easiest area to conquer.
The north is similar to the former south, but the west is facing the unknown of a desolate land, and no one knows what is surging and existing in that urban area.
The mother's nest that continuously breeds weird things is the only information.
"We'd better go separate ways next," Claire said.
"Why?"
"As here, I am not fit to be around the castle."
Claire's power cannot be hidden from the forces in the south and the power that can be traced back to its source.
But Lu Li guessed that Claire might have some personal matters to attend to.
"I'm with you," Ophelia said.
"No, Lu Li needs your help." Claire shook the alchemy potion, "I'm responsible for helping you gather information."
"It's going to wake up."
Ophelia said suddenly.
The wings of the bat's offspring trembled.
Lu Li simply constructed a simple dream for his neighbor who was on the verge of waking up: it was surrounded by cold and hunger after birth, and a black robed silhouette with the same body shape as Lu Li rescued it, gave it food and warmth, and allowed it to grow from ignorance.
He also used dreams to imitate the outline of the mother's nest behind him.
Dreams are easier to exaggerate emotions than reality. Because every existence in dreams is like a new life, unstained by dust.
Then when it wakes up, it sees the outline of the figure who took care of itself tenderly in the dream right in front of it, and sees the nest where it was born right behind the outline.
The subtle influence of dreams and the mother's nest bring it close, while the devil's contract restricts its behavior.
Lu Li didn't have to worry about his new neighbor rebelling.
The offspring of the brood retracted their wings, no longer expressing hostility towards Lu Li and Claire, and let out a sharp and subtle scream.
"Little Leimi, he regards you as his brother."
"Let's go out."
Elena wasn't here, so Lu Li couldn't understand what it was saying.
A few dozen minutes later, Lu Li, Claire, and Elena gathered in the backyard.
A tomb that had been filled in not long ago was sitting here quietly, the barren soil carrying the dampness of the fungus blanket.
Weird's subordinates are not here, and the following conversation is not suitable for them to know.
"The weird leader who calls himself 'Viscount' has taken over the castle with a group of fake gardeners, fake chefs and fake me. By the way, they are preparing to recruit creep monsters as fake farmers."
Claire describes a group of impostors:
"They even imitate our strength. The Viscount doesn't know that the head maid is flying around with the smelly wind, and the gardener——"
"Can you smell it?"
Lu Li suddenly interrupted Claire and looked at her calmly.
"...I guessed it!" Claire hesitantly argued, "Don't interrupt me! The gardener sewed a pile of...rotten flesh. I didn't have a chance to get close to the Viscount, but I guess he imitated his mother's power."
Claire suggested a frontal defeat - it had nothing to do with them pretending to be their mother or themselves. Sneaking through secret passages and sneaking into the castle was nothing more than announcing their arrival. It was best to let the surrounding weirdos know and witness that this place had changed hands.
"You can defeat the real mother, but it won't be difficult for you to deal with the fake mother."
Lu Li didn't need to worry about being exposed - the characteristics of the dreamer could be disguised as other powers.
