Three hundred and eleven. Transaction with the evil god
Lu Li took back the two psychic guns that he gave to Qiao Qiao. Because one of the gun holsters fell into the trash can together with the Swamp Mother sculpture, there was nowhere to put it in Sequence 2, so it was temporarily placed on a table cabinet within easy reach.
Then he took out an oil lamp from the suitcase, lit it and placed it deep in the basement, dispelling the darkness and allowing an unobstructed view of the entire basement.
After doing this, Lu Li took off his coat. Qiaoqiao and Fran threw it to the ground in confusion, poured kerosene on it, and struck a match.
Maybe he knew what was about to happen, but some consciousness seemed to wake up in the dark, and obscure whispers slowly sounded in the basement.
"Why...reject power..."
Qiaoqiao and Fran looked at Lu Li's coat in surprise. Was it... talking...?
"You are very weak...I will give you strength..." The whisper was soft and seductive.
"That's not power."
Lu Li replied calmly and released his fingers holding the match.
The match whirled and fell, landing on the coat. The moment it touched——
call--
The green flames spread, spreading throughout the coat, gradually rising into flames and flames, which were swept to the ground by the breeze from the Shadow Swamp.
The coat doused with kerosene burned violently. In an instant, the light was distorted and dim, and countless murmurs sounded in the basement. In an instant, everything disappeared and silence returned.
Qiao Qiao's eyes reflected Lu Li and the flames. The flames dispelled the chill, but Qiao Qiao couldn't feel a trace of heat. The aura carried by the whispers made her feel uneasy, as if she was encountering a natural enemy.
The same goes for Fran.
And all they felt was the insignificant breath emanating from that existence.
Is this the evil god...a god...
Qiao Qiao thought to herself, the calm look in Lu Li's eyes as he stood beside the burning coat seemed to be etched deep in his mind.
After a few minutes, the last wisp of fire extinguished, leaving only blackened ashes.
"What happened?" Qiaoqiao asked at this time.
"The mark of the Swamp Mother, it wants to seduce me into becoming a dependent." Lu Li took out a spare coat from the opened suitcase and put it on.
As expected, the Mother of the Swamp left a mark on her body just like last time. There may be more, but that's all Lu Li can do at the moment.
Qiao Qiao felt puzzled: "Why you? Ordinary people like us are obviously more likely to be bewitched..."
"So it chose Mr. Lu Li instead of us." Freed from the fear of being targeted by predators, Fran replied with a wry smile: "It doesn't like us."
"Is that so..." Qiao Qiao suddenly understood. She knew that Lu Li was far more mysterious than she knew, but then she thought of a terrible fact: "It already knows that we are hiding here!?"
Fran also looked at Lu Li nervously.
"It's not important now." Lu Li said.
Because they have nowhere to go.
The family members are still fighting on the ground, and at the end of the secret passage is the territory of the Mother of Evil God.
"I'm sorry, I was too naive..." Qiaoqiao held her head regretfully. She lost her mind because of her brother's disappearance. It was only then that she knew what they were facing.
"If you have a chance, you must escape."
"Recall carefully where your brother is most likely to be hiding at this time." Lu Li ignored Qiaoqiao's almost giving up words and looked at Fran: "There were townspeople hiding in the basement. They may have moved to other places. Think about it carefully.
, where else to hide but the church.”
"Um……"
After the words fell, the basement became quiet. This silence lasted for a few minutes, and was disturbed by the sudden sound of chewing.
The aroma of dried meat wafted out, and Fran, who had not eaten for a day, couldn't help but salivate. His hunger made his stomach ache like peristalsis.
A piece of dried meat was handed to him.
Fran looked up in surprise, swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "Thank you."
He took the dried meat from Lu Li with both hands and was about to put it into his mouth when an unsettling vibration suddenly came from the solid basement.
Slow and dull vibrations sounded deep in the earth, like a slowly beating heart, something was awakening deep underground.
Snap.
The dried meat slipped from his hand, and Fran kept trembling in fear: "Eye, that eye is open..."
"Black Beacon?"
"Yes... every time that eye opens, the monsters in the town will become violent. They attack and destroy everywhere..."
The dull trembling sound that spread throughout the town continued. Jojo and Fran held their chests and felt extremely uncomfortable. Even Anna said that she felt uncomfortable, and the slow heartbeat was affecting her emotions.
Only Lu Li was not affected at all.
I don't know what happened on the ground, but there were faint howls and strange screams echoing towards the basement.
But nothing weird happened.
After ten minutes, the beating sound gradually faded away.
"This time it's longer..." Fran, who was covered in cold sweat, gasped: "It was only a few dozen seconds at first, and then the time became longer and longer..."
It sounded like some kind of existence was gradually waking up last time.
The Swamp Mother should still be in Shadow Swamp... Is this related to the unknown evil god?
As the beating sound deep underground subsides, Jojo and Fran are regaining their emotions.
"It's scary. I feel like my heart is beating slowly when it rings..." Qiaoqiao's heart beat uneasily, seeming to be easing the previous negativity.
"Have you thought of any clues?" Lu Li asked.
There was disappointment in Qiaoqiao's eyes, and she shook her head to say something. Suddenly, a whisper flowed slowly in the basement.
"I can help you find him..."
Before they could escape from the beating of their hearts, Jojo and Fran were once again frozen by the breath overflowing from the whispers.
"Where is he?" Lu Li asked, looking for the source of the sound.
"You have to do something for me..." The mother of the swamp seemed to be no longer stubborn in letting Lu Li become her dependent.
Lu Li touched the holster of his gun and looked toward the corner of the basement where the whispers came from.
Next to a suitcase, he saw the sculpture of the Swamp Mother, which was covered in clothing. It was glowing with a coquettish deep purple light.
"Is your change related to the change just now?"
The whisper of the Swamp Mother slowly sounded: "I can't control it..."
That's why Swamp Mother changed her mind.
After a slight silence, Lu Li did not refuse: "Is this a transaction or a cooperation?"
"What's the difference..."
Lu Li replied: "I might not be able to cooperate with an evil god whose integrity is unknown."
"Is this the reason why you refuse power..."
"Yes. Your power is not pure. It will transform the person who obtains it into your dependents."
"Isn't it good..." Swamp Mother whispered with confusion.
"It makes sense to you. You gave them strength and they gave themselves." "In my opinion, this is no different from trading souls with the devil for revenge."
The whispers temporarily disappeared, and only the sculptures shining with dark purple light silently told that the mother of the swamp has not left yet.
After a few minutes, obscure whispers slowly sounded.
"I understand your thoughts from the memory of the servant... As you said... this is a transaction..."
