The human-headed balloons entered the second floor of the cafe.
Jojo and Fran looked up at the ceiling at the same time.
At this time, Lu Li asked Fran: "Can they be killed?"
Fran, who raised his head, moved back to Lu Li and Qiao Qiao little by little: "I don't know."
The balling shape of the heads reminded Lu Li of the sound of explosions, and it seemed not a good idea to deal with them like the faceless figures.
Lu Li quickly walked to the side window of the cafe and opened it: "Anna is blocking the second floor. You can leave through the window and go to the house next door."
As soon as the voice fell, the window of the house opposite opened.
"What about you?"
Qiaoqiao walked to the window without any delay and asked before stepping out.
"I'll go with Anna and follow later."
"Be safe." Qiao Qiao nodded, turned around to greet Fran who was in a daze, sat on the window sill, jumped into the dark alley, and then got into the window of the opposite building.
Fran awkwardly climbed over the window and fell into the alley. Lu Li looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor. The tables and chairs moved by Anna had blocked the stairs, and the faces in the gap flashed away.
"Let's go."
Lu Li stepped over the window sill and jumped into the alley.
His legs were bent to relieve the pressure, and before Lu Li could stand upright, the outline of a white skirt with a hollowed out face suddenly appeared next to Lu Li.
Lu Li ignored him, ignored the faceless figure, and ran straight to the opposite window. A cold force filled the air, passed by Lu Li, attacked the faceless figure and tore her apart.
On the other side, Qiaoqiao, who was waiting for Lu Li to climb over the window, quickly closed the window and drew the curtains.
The outside scenery is blocked out.
"Are we getting rid of them?" Qiaoqiao asked.
Lu Li looked around the house. It was a residential house, and the place they were in was the kitchen.
"Maybe. Just in case, let's speed up."
Lu Li walked into the living room and looked outside through the window.
Several six-legged monsters were wandering on the street not far away, where Lu Li and others passed by before.
Giving up the plan of walking out of the room and walking along San San Street, Lu Li walked to the window on the other side, observed and opened the window: "We are moving between buildings."
The advantage of moving through the house is that you don't have to face the horrors of the streets, but the disadvantage is obvious - if there are weird things hidden in the building, they can't be avoided.
But when trouble comes, Anna the Wraith will solve it.
Lu Li and the others quickly walked between the buildings, entering through the windows and leaving through the windows, approaching the church in a circular motion.
This process was not smooth sailing. When they broke into a post office, they saw a shadowy figure behind a pillar spying on them. But before Lu Li and Anna could do anything, it disappeared like a shadow illuminated by light.
"That's the legendary Shadowman from Shadow Town! Those crawling outside are six-legged monsters." Fran recognized it and associated more with it, exclaiming as if all the clues were suddenly connected.
"It's Shadow Swamp... These monsters come out of Shadow Swamp, and they are fighting with the summoned monsters!"
"Did you just know?" Qiaoqiao asked strangely.
Fran was a little shy and coughed dryly: "Ahem... I found a place to hide and was even knocked unconscious..."
He did not have the opportunity to get close to his family members.
In other words, it is precisely because he was not close to his family that he survived.
"Talking as we move, I have some questions to ask." After observing the situation in the alley, Lu Li opened the window and turned around and said.
The outside exorcists' reasons for Shadow Town are unknown. They only know that the unknown evil gods from outside are fighting against the Mother of the Swamp. The aura from their fight covers the entire Shadow Town and the Southern Shadow Swamp. Their families are also interacting with each other within the envelope of the aura.
Fight.
Let Qiao Qiao and Fran go down the alley. Lu Li walked at the end and got into the next house with them.
Bang.
After stepping through the window, Lu Li gently closed the window. Anna blocked the stairs with furniture. He looked around and walked to the window on the other side.
"How much information do you know about the Swamp Mother?" Lu Li asked without looking back while observing the situation outside.
"Uh... the customs brought by the original pioneers of Shadow Town. At that time, many people believed in the Mother of the Swamp. They believed that the Mother of the Swamp was the patron saint of the Shadow Swamp. But later, fewer and fewer people believed in the Mother of the Swamp and the church.
, there may only be a dozen or so in the town now."
Fran searched for everything he knew, and suddenly, he had a terrible suspicion.
"Is the Swamp Mother real?!"
"The root cause of the incident in Shadow Town was the murder caused by the fight between the Mother of the Swamp and another unknown evil god." Lu Li, who was observing outside, said without looking back.
Fran fell into panic about the collapse of his worldview, but Jojo was focused on another thing: "Does the Swamp Mother exist by itself, or does it appear because of those people's beliefs?"
"Evil gods may be born because of people's beliefs."
Qiao Qiao thoughtfully said: "So maybe the Swamp Mother is a good person?"
"It is not a good person, and good people would not be called evil gods." Lu Li said calmly. "The tendency of evil gods has a limited relationship with the beliefs of believers. Evil gods are born through the beliefs of believers, but they do not gain power through the beliefs of believers."
"Their position is chaos, so from the perspective of humans who are in the position of order, whether they sacrifice or transform their relatives are extremely evil acts."
"The eternal darkness has not changed since ancient times..." Fran suddenly murmured.
Qiao Qiao looked sideways: "Is it the fourteenth verse of Goethe's Book of Poetry?"
"What is that?" Lu Li, who knew little about famous books in this world, asked.
"The author is Goethe Madkin, and this sentence is a theory about human nature he elaborated in his book. He believes that darkness is eternal, while light will fade over time. Well... the explanation is like:
A dark place will remain unchanged. Even if you bring an oil lamp, it will still go out after the oil is used up, and only darkness will remain."
This theory can also be applied to evil gods.
Evil gods cannot gain power through the faith of believers, so no matter how bright and righteous the believers' initial beliefs are, they cannot allow evil gods to continue - the evil gods will disappear when their power is exhausted.
There may have been good evil gods in the past, but their stance destined them to eventually disappear as their power is exhausted, just like oil lamps that illuminate the darkness.
Because they themselves violate the laws of survival.
Infertile people cannot reproduce; only fertile people can reproduce.
"It's safe, keep moving."
After observing the situation in the alley, Lu Li opened the window.
The faceless figure solidified beside him, and was easily dispatched by Anna as if she was squeezing an ant to death.
The three of them entered the next building in silence. Anna blocked the second floor. Lu Li went to the window to observe. He continued the previous topic and asked, "How much do you know about the unknown evil god? For example, if there are any strange phenomena happening in the town recently."
