204. The hunch is true

It was an extremely illusory yet extremely solid gray figure. It was shrouded in the shadow of the clouds, and the shadow it brought shrouded the port city. It was suspended in the sky hundreds of meters above the sea, slender and slender.

Human-like but twisted gray arms extend to both sides, as if holding the city in front of them.

On its slender neck is a hairless head with no facial features or face. It is so weird and weird that it is difficult to describe it in words.

Looking down, its body gradually becomes illusory, reaching its waist, its body is completely invisible. But its upper body alone has reached a height of five to six hundred meters that makes people want to escape.

The terrifying giant is only less than two kilometers away from the city, but its huge and strange shape gives people the illusion that it can wrap the entire city within it.

The black and white picture and poor clarity made it difficult for Lu Li to see more details of the terrifying giant. Even so, the moment Lu Li saw the existence, he felt an indescribable and indescribable terrifying aura rushing into Lu Li's mind.

, instilled with unbearable distortion.

Wow——

Lu Li moved the newspaper away instantly, his boiling thoughts gradually calming down.

I just took a look at the picture in the newspaper, and all the hidden dangers were solved, but it can have such a terrifying negative effect.

Glancing at Anna who looked suspiciously, Lu Li calmed down and began to carefully recall the distorted information fed into his brain.

No one would do this, except Lu Li who wanted to know what it was.

But Lu Li only got a mess of chaotic and clueless memories, like a messy ball of thread that couldn't be untangled.

This kind of mental pollution had the effect of reducing sanity to a large extent. Lu Li did not look at it anymore, but closed his eyes and imagined the picture in his memory.

Even though he was imagining, Lu Li felt a dull pain in the back of his head, as if there was some imaginary pollution following Lu Li, distorting his will.

Opening his eyes, Lu Li saw that Anna, driven by curiosity, had tilted her head to look at the newspaper. As a ghost, she could ignore the impact of the picture.

"Please don't get close... nine times out of ten..." Anna murmured the words on the newspaper and looked at Lu Li, who was rubbing his eyebrows: "Is the situation already so bad..."

"It has exceeded my expectations."

Lu Li realized that the world was getting worse, but he still underestimated the speed of the ship sinking.

The city of Zernst is not as prosperous as Belfast. After all, Fast means "giant" in the Arran language. There are only five cities on the Arran Peninsula that have the reputation of Fast.

Even so, its urban population is still hundreds of thousands.

But in this seaport city with a population of hundreds of thousands, more than nine-tenths of its 100,000 residents died in less than two days.

This is because the terrifying giant comes at night. If the visibility is good during the day, perhaps this city will become a dead place, and almost no one will survive.

What is even more frightening is that if this terrifying giant appears not in Zernst, but in Belfast, the most populous and prosperous city...

The ratio of nine out of ten will not decrease at all.

Weirdness is so irrational and irrational, they kill humans as easily as crushing ants. They don't even need to actively do anything, as long as they stay there, fragile humans will fall into madness and collapse at the first glance.

This is the reason why Tesla suddenly said such words that were out of character for him.

There may not be lemon juice in the bottle either.

He was venting his emotions after his friend died and learned about the terrifying giant incident.

Zernst is in the northwest of the Allen Peninsula, and Belfast is in the easternmost part of the Allen Peninsula, separated by three to four hundred miles. All the terrifying giant can bring is the residual power in the newspapers - but this is only a superficial phenomenon.

It will have a deeper impact on Lu Li.

The destruction of a city and that kind of natural disaster-like scene are almost impossible to prevent the spread, especially with the industrial base where communications have already begun.

It will inevitably spread between continents, it's just a matter of how long it takes.

The Arran Peninsula will bear the brunt, and it may take less than a few days for panic and commotion to spread to Belfast.

That would bring a lot of unrest and rapidly rising prices.

Everyone wants to stock up on as much food as possible.

Moreover, the three major organizations will inevitably speed up the construction of shelters, which means that the price of raw materials based on deep sea stone will rise rapidly.

Fortunately, the merchant will deliver the cut stones tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Lu Li, who was rewarded by the [Man-Eating House] event, will have time to buy the third deep-sea stone.

"Crop the picture and put it on the bookshelf, keeping it closed."

Lu Li said to Anna.

"Um."

Tear--

A slight tearing sound was heard for a moment, and the picture taken by the terrifying giant was instantly cut out by Anna, thrown to the top shelf of the bookshelf, and pressed down with a pen.

Lu Li took over "Investigator Weekly" again and reread the report on the terrifying giant.

This time he looked more slowly and carefully.

[It is suspected that it is the projection of some kind of extremely terrifying and dangerous existence in the world]

"It's just a projection..."

Lu Li frowned and whispered.

Just like what he thought before: there is only one layer in the surface world.

It is the world in which human beings live, and it is also the source of countless world layers.

The judgment of the root cause is very simple. The terrain of the surface world will be completely projected into all the currently known layers of the inner world.

For example, the ghost world. If Anna sneaks into the inner world, she will see a colorless and gray detective agency. When Lu Li in the outer world overturns the water glass, she in the inner world will see the water glass overturning for no reason.

But Anna in the other world cannot lift the water cup. For the other world, changes in the surface world are like laws. The water cup is integrated with the entire space and cannot be moved.

But this is not absolute. There are always some extremely terrifying and powerful weird things that can affect the outside world in the inner world.

Such as the terrifying giant.

The ghost world is the inner world closest to the surface world, which explains why ghosts can appear in the real world at will, unlike other weird things that can only randomly appear in the real world in the form of projected illusions, and only people with low sanity values

It can be felt.

After the demon slayers confirmed the relationship between the surface world and the inner world, they began to think inevitably: Is the world we live in really the surface world? Is there another surface world above us? And is the surface world really true?

Is this the only one?

Compared with these questions, Lu Li wanted to know more at this time, was the appearance of the terrifying giant projection a coincidence? Or was it inevitable?

The former shows that the world still has a chance to survive.

The latter shows that the world will welcome more uninvited guests in the future.
