In the silent mountains, the carriage drives alone on the desolate path.
When the sky was getting darker, the carriage curtain opened a corner, and a figure stepped out, hung an oil lamp on the carriage, and got back into the carriage.
The sound of conversation came through the half-open carriage door.
"What does it want to eat?"
"Generally the same as us."
"But he didn't eat the piece of bread."
"When you're hungry, you'll eat."
"are you hungry?"
"not yet."
After a while, Lu Li got out of the carriage, picked up the reins and controlled the carriage.
Lu Li turned back to look at the way he had come. The last clouds disappeared without a trace, and darkness chased him from behind the car.
In order to seize the time and stay as far away from the hell visitors as possible in the coastal town, I have to take the night road back to the Allen Peninsula tonight.
According to the time, the devil in the hospital should have known about Lu Li's departure. It hasn't appeared yet. Maybe it wants to let Lu Li go, or maybe it is lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.
No matter what, Anna, who appeared next to Lu Li and released the spirit of resentment, will protect Lu Li from harm.
"Meow~"
A cat meow rang out from between the two of them. The black cat emerged from the crack in the compartment door, climbed onto Lu Li's legs where he was sitting cross-legged without being noticed, turned half a circle and lay down on the warm legs.
"It's just like you." Lu Li and Anna's eyes fell on the black cat. Anna lowered her eyes, and the oil lamp on the carriage illuminated the side of her face, seeming to outline a smile.
“Same colors and quiet.”
Lu Li didn't say anything. He released his hand holding the reins and placed it in front of the black cat to block the night wind blowing from the front of the carriage.
Anna leaned against Lu Li without any weight and looked up at the night sky. There were no bright stars, only the endless darkness that blended with the earth, filling the entire world outside the carriage.
It was so lonely as if there were only the two of them and a cat left in the world.
There was also the reflection of the inner world reflected in Lu Li's black pupils, rustling and hiding in the carriage.
This strange silence wrapped in darkness lasted for half an hour, and was broken by a long stretch of firelight in front of the road.
"What is that?"
It was too far away for Anna to recognize them, so she could only guess that they were carriages on the road.
But why are there so many carriages here?
"The swamp road should be open to traffic again," Lu Li said.
They came from other cities, gathered together, and headed for Belfast via this only road.
Knights and night watchmen with psychic guns hanging on their waists patrolled along the convoy, chasing away any strange things that might approach the convoy.
The immigration boom to the Lennon Islands is obviously getting more intense. It can be expected that more and more people will flock to the Lennon Islands for a long time to come, until the ocean becomes a forbidden area that cannot be entered.
But with the spectacular motorcade, I should be able to feel a little more at ease at night.
The carriage traveling alone along the mountains quickly joined the convoy. With the convoy, Lu Li, who no longer needed to be guarded, returned to the carriage with the black cat in his arms and the invisible Anna.
It was almost midnight when a long line of migrating carriages entered Luoye Town.
Luoye Town, which was about to be abandoned, seemed to be blooming into its final glory. All the townspeople were awake, preparing goods and food to replenish the convoy's supplies.
Or take everything you can, join the convoy and leave here.
Lu Li got out of the carriage again and saw the knight captain and his knights maintaining order in the noisy crowd. They were so busy that they did not notice that Lu Li was passing by them more than ten meters away in the daytime, and then gradually disappeared.
Anna sat next to Lu Li in the void. She knew that as time went by, it would be difficult to see such a lively scene again.
When they were about to leave Luoye Town, a shouting figure ran from the convoy behind them and ran to Lu Li's carriage under the curious gaze of the people around him.
Lu Li stopped the carriage and looked down at the little boy wearing a brown robe.
"My master asked me to give this to you. It can protect you from the devil." The little boy handed a bracelet set with precious gems to Lu Li.
"Who is your master?" Lu Li did not take the chain.
"He is a distinguished priest." The little boy, or the priest's retinue, raised his head and said proudly.
"Can I tell him?"
The little boy's retinue shook his head and said, "I think the master doesn't want to see you. That's why it's me who brought you the things."
"Then convey your gratitude to me."
After a moment of pause, Lu Li took the bracelet and watched the little boy disappear into the carriage room.
"Is it someone from the joint organization who received the message or a passerby?" Anna asked.
"None of that."
Lu Li replied and suddenly threw the bracelet into the withered grass on the roadside.
Anna, who had just become confused, didn't have time to say anything. She saw a black shadow blending into the night and jumping out of the grass at a faster speed and attacking Lu Li.
The invisible and obscure aura spread out and enveloped Lu Li. But the bracelet that came straight towards him did not hit Lu Li. It stopped in front of the carriage, releasing an ominous black mist with the smell of sulfur, which solidified into a line of people wearing a striped suit.
Image of bald middle-aged man.
"What is that?!"
"Oh My God--"
"Run! It's a monster! Run!"
People who witnessed this scene screamed in panic and fled. The turning carriages blocked the road, and people could only abandon their vehicles and flee into the distance.
Panic is spreading further to the outside world.
"drink!"
Anna, who had locked the air around the devil, stretched out her palm, and an invisible spear several meters long formed, sharply leaving a mark in the space, instantly penetrating the solid figure, flying hundreds of meters and drilling into the deciduous mountain range.
A huge rumbling sound came from the dark mountains, accompanied by the creaking of falling trees and the startled chirping of birds.
The middle-aged figure's body became stiff, and he lowered his head in confusion, looking at the fist-sized hole in his chest.
"you……"
It pointed at Anna in disbelief and fell backward——
But in the next moment, it stood up straight again and brushed the hole in its chest with its palm. When it moved away, its chest and clothes had been completely restored.
It grinned an exaggerated smile: "Little ghost, don't show off your ridiculously weak power in front of the devil."
"What about this move?"
Anna's expression became colder and colder, her hair fluttered, and twisted shadows extended from her feet.
Suddenly, fierce winds appeared in the figure who claimed to be the devil, forming a hurricane-like vortex. The sharp wind was like a blade, blowing away the figure's body layer by layer and torn into pieces in the hurricane.
Sand and gravel flew everywhere, and the surrounding horses screamed and dragged their carriages away from the sandy area.
Lu Li and the carriage were blocked by a transparent protective cover, and in the middle of the hurricane, the torn and mutilated figure suddenly took steps, walking towards the edge of the hurricane step by step.
"I said..."
The face that exposed human flesh and blood suddenly turned into a terrifying head that was ignited with black flames, roaring angrily, and the spreading sound waves easily tore apart the swirling hurricane like a newspaper.
"Don't display that ridiculous power in front of the devil!"
