Walking in the pitch-black corrupted soil, the terrifying giant trees standing all around are like dungeon cages, imprisoning indescribable and terrifying existences.
Lu Li who stepped into it was like an ant crawling into a dungeon, actively approaching the dark shadow imprisoned deep in the cage.
[The strange jungle is like a dungeon, and I am now close to the prison of this dungeon]
Lu Li wrote down his conjecture in his diary and moved on.
But when Lu Li passed through the dark curtain and reached the depths of the strange jungle that Midnight City had never set foot in, he saw a giant city towering in the forest.
They are not as deep into the clouds as the terrifying giant trees, but the majestic ruined buildings have a shocking beauty.
Before approaching the sprawling giant house, a giant skeleton was buried in front. Its ribs were like an arch, its skull was like a palace, and its arm bones stuck diagonally in the soil were like a ladder to the sky.
The skeleton hung with torn cloth is undoubtedly human.
Closing the diary, Lu Li put away the empty cans, finished his rest, and continued to move forward in the enlarged village.
In the strange and incongruous open space of the square, a few silhouettes were scattered, shrouded in the shadows of skeletons.
Lu Li thought that the bard who was behind the scenes would resist, but nothing unexpected happened. The evil spirit allowed Lu Li to touch it and saw everything he saw——
When Lu Li opened his eyes, he was standing in a dilapidated village surrounded by low forests. The skeletons of villagers surrounded the square, and there was nothing around the scattered gallows.
The cry made the instrument of torture that penetrated the figure shake and collide.
Snap——
Unable to identify the identities of these four evil spirits, Lu Li opened his stomach bag and took all the protective medicines prepared for him by the Alchemy Institute, including sequence medicines and medicines with significant side effects. He raised the oil lamp and stepped into the square.
A grinning figure, a frightening night. A decapitated woman, a headless spirit.
[I’m not sure if I’ve fallen into their ritual, nothing strange has happened so far. 】
A figure fell under the dirty ropes of the gallows, his skirt stained with blood, and his head rolled on the edge of the platform.
In the darkness of the strange dense forest where it was difficult to tell the difference between day and night, Lu Li woke up from his sleep after resting all night, ate some food, and continued on his way holding an oil lamp.
[The Weird Jungle is just an ordinary forest and village, but some kind of powerful force has completely changed this place, magnifying it hundreds of times. 】
Finally, Lu Li walked towards the bard who might have witnessed the truth.
[Deep in the strange jungle, there is a huge city. The houses here are as high as mountains, and the corpses are like low hills...]
Lu Li continued to move forward, stepping onto the skeleton that was supposed to be easily crossed, climbing over the spine buried in the soil, walking out of the chest, and approaching the giant city in front of him like an ant.
A figure was shackled in front of the gallows, kneeling on the ground, with horrific instruments of torture pierced throughout his body.
This village was so vast that Lu Li had not reached its depths until the evening, and had to spend a small night in the gaps and ravines of the stone plain at the foot of the giant wall.
Lu Li then walked towards the headless spirit, and the sound of the shaking instruments of torture sounded again until he walked towards the headless spirit.
Lu Li picked up the woman's head and put it back on her shoulders. A crystal clear teardrop fell from the corner of his eye, reflecting her falling from the sky, spinning around, from birth to death.
A figure stood in front of the gallows, a crescent-like smile appearing on his face.
Sad cries and sobs sounded at this moment, and muddy tears stained with dust poured out from the woman's head.
Lu Li stared at the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton. Everything around him suddenly came alive in his eyes. The dense branches that blocked the sky squirmed and stretched towards the ground. The scale of the stretched skeleton and the stretching giant city in front of him quickly shortened, and finally, a dark forest appeared.
There are dilapidated villages and skeletons at your feet.
The black eyes gradually regained focus, and the fallen branches, tiny skeletons and dilapidated villages once again turned into terrifying giant trees, huge skeletons and giant cities.
Lu Li, who has dealt with evil spirits, can identify them as the true nature of evil spirits.
Those are four outlines of different shapes——
Lu Li watched the changes brought about by his arrival and recognized two evil spirits:
Lu Li stretched out his left hand and strangled its neck.
Lu Li raised the oil lamp, and a hazy halo of light shone forward.
Lu Li's intrusion disturbed the relief-like silence, and the stagnant square seemed to undergo some subtle changes.
The ritual was suppressed and the body was controlled. This evil spirit was weaker than a ghost. For a few seconds, Lu Li broke into a memory of death in a terrifying night: a man impaled with a torture instrument was kneeling in front of the gallows, and a falling woman had her neck torn off by the noose.
, a triumphant smile appeared on the face of the frightening night——
It has nothing to do with hatred. Compared with unknown evil spirits and headless spirits, the terrifying night that once attacked the Land of Light is a greater threat——
The death flashback ended abruptly.
Lu Li looked at the square that seemed to be frozen in time and continued to write.
Humanity surged in, and the body of Fright Night was reduced to ashes.
A soft sigh and the rustle of writing came from the bard.
Approaching the night of horror, the ferocious smile on that face gradually cracked, and was suppressed by the sound of crying and the shaking of torture instruments.
Four evil spirits restrain each other.
[The formation of the strange jungle should be related to them. The four evil spirits... In any case, this is a good opportunity to eliminate them. 】
Then there was the outline of someone pierced by a torture device. He didn't struggle, letting the power of redemption set him free.
In the center of the Skeleton Mountains, there is a square open space that has not been changed by the strange jungle.
The frozen scene before Lu Li's eyes was like a thick oil painting painted by a manic maniac.
The headless corpse sobbed, and the shaking of the torture instrument seemed to be a gentle comfort.
Finally, a new change emerged at the end of the vast street - in the huge square like a plain, countless bones were stacked, forming a mountain of bones.
[I saw the evil spirit's true form...four bodies. They seemed to be confronting each other.]
The cracks in the broken stone road turned into ravines that needed to be jumped, the accumulated fine gravel turned into a gravel wall, and the wall hundreds of meters high was like a steep cliff.
Lu Li saw the fallen woman's neck being torn off by the noose, the terrifying night's evil smile and the surrounding villagers standing still, and the death retrospective ended.
The ferocious smile on the figure's face became more ferocious, shaped like a twisted moon——
Finally, the troubadour-like recorder stood on the edge and recorded the scene before him with a compassionate expression.
The strange jungle has returned to a normal forest.
When the evil spirit passes away, the forest consciousness that imprisoned it no longer exists.
Lu Li opened the diary and wrote down the names of the three evil spirits, Night of Fright, Headless Spirit, and People of Suffering. There was also a newly discovered evil spirit, The Sorrow of the Diary. Then, he wrote about this short and fantastic experience.
Next end.
[I found the real culprit that made everything happen—a scale dripping with blood, as if it were newly peeled off.]
