But he is not a bad person, a pure person, a hateful person who wants to be hung on the abandoned gallows in Belfast and his body exposed for another week.
This has to do with his desire to gain power in order to protect everyone.
It's a pity that Richard took the wrong path.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong. Even after seeing Lu Li's previous tests, he only thought that he and Lu Li were on different paths. Until the final failure, those conversations and Lu Li's behavior finally made Richard understand and feel proud.
I choose to bury myself by myself.
But no matter what, the crisis that endangered Lu Li's life was over.
After shaking for a moment, Lu Li backed away from the edge of the abyss and sat down awkwardly on the cold stone slab, panting slightly.
Although Richard was exhausted, the desperate fighting caused some troubles to Lu Li, both physically and mentally.
Calmly staring at the hazy edge a few meters away, the key has been discarded, the door is blocked, and there is no point in staying outside.
Lu Li planned to take a short nap before returning the same way, but Anna was still waiting for him outside.
Speaking of doors, Lu Li suddenly thought that he had forgotten something crucial: about the "door".
Richard was the only clue about the "Gate", but with his death the clues were interrupted.
Lu Li didn't have much time, so he thought it wouldn't be too long before the next invasion from the "Gate" came.
Let's get out of here first.
Feeling that he was almost rested, Lu Li stood up, took a deep look at the darkness beyond the edge, and turned around to leave.
His background gradually faded away, and he never looked back, and he had no nostalgia for the abyss where the key and Richard were buried behind him.
It was difficult to discern the direction in the gray and misty space, but the gaps between the stone bricks on the ground guided Lu Li to the path ahead - he only needed to follow the stone bricks away from the deep and bottomless abyss, and the exit would naturally appear before his eyes.
In the fog ahead, a piece of mist gathered together like smoke, forming a line of darker, unexpectedly beautiful handwriting.
【You passed the real test】
In the unchanging foggy space, Lu Li easily caught the strange things in front of him. With a slight pause in his steps, Lu Li walked by, and the air flow brought up disturbed the writings composed of the fog, and they were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish them.
He ignored the Word of existence because he did not covet its power.
Darkness suddenly broke into our eyes, and there were water marks on the stone bricks.
Lu Li found the way.
He groped around on his body and found that the flashlight had been lost at some point, so he walked straight into the darkness.
Straight forward, Lu Li was not alone in the darkness. Elf-like darkness surged around Lu Li, forming a thicker line of writing in front of him that was clearly visible in the darkness.
[Your excellent qualities are commendable]
I continued to ignore it and walked alone in the darkness for a few minutes. The darkness gradually disappeared in front of me.
The stone walls of the passage replaced the darkness, and Lu Li returned to the original outskirts of the crypt.
【I see another possibility in human beings from you】
At the end of the passage ahead, the deep water curtain that distorts the light flows slowly, forming new content.
[And I'm glad you didn't choose to take over the body of the old one]
Wow——
The figure walking into the water curtain disturbed the content of this line and turned into a dark shadow, floating upward.
Lu Li didn't hold his breath. This place was several kilometers away from the sea. If the sea water was no longer breathable, there was no point in holding his breath.
Swinging his limbs, Lu Li found that he was rising slowly, and when he stopped, his figure gradually fell into the deep sea ruins.
He was thoughtful and took off his heavy woolen coat.
Removing the burden, Lu Li's slowly descending body finally began to float upward.
The woolen coat that had been taken off slowly sank into the bottomless abyss of the ruins, and the fluttering cuffs seemed to come to life. Lu Li swung his legs and swam upward with his head raised.
[Under the scent of bait is a deadly trap, that’s just a lie]
After floating up to a hundred or two hundred meters, Lu Li took a quick glance and found a line of text that he could understand on the huge stone pillar closest to him.
His figure paused for a moment, then resumed his movements. Lu Li's brows furrowed, thinking about what he meant.
He began to have an intuition.
The existence that arranges the test and controls the handwriting does not seem to be the ancient god sleeping in the abyss in the ruins below...
【The stars have arrived】
[Abominations await in the abyss]
[Weird and weird in the dark, ready to move]
【And the remaining fire will be extinguished】
In the next ten minutes, those words appeared in Lu Li's eyes in various ways, describing the dark and dull road ahead.
Although Lu Li was protected from the pressure of deep water due to the inexplicable protection, some of it still exerted pressure on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Now that the pressure was gradually disappearing, Lu Li realized that he was close to the sea.
At a certain moment, the slightly turbulent sea surface suddenly broke out with a wave, and a figure emerged.
Lu Li gasped, real air pouring into his lungs, giving Lu Li a sense of wakefulness as if he had woken up from a deep sleep.
Suddenly, warm blood dripped uncontrollably from his nose and fell into the black ocean.
It floated up too fast.
Lu Li thought to himself. He turned around and looked around. Perhaps it was fate or coincidence. The two unowned wooden boats were just a few meters away on the sea.
Waving his limbs, Lu Li approached the wooden boat and flipped into the cabin before further negative effects occurred. The dizziness came at just this moment, lingering for dozens of seconds before slowly leaving.
[When darkness envelopes you, don’t lose hope in your heart]
Regaining clear vision, I can see the clouds in the sky or something that makes up the writing.
Two minutes later, Lu Li regained consciousness and sat up with his limp limbs, looking for the oars. But he found that the wooden boat had drifted with the current and started sailing on its own.
[Take it, it will lead you back to the road to awakening]
[Even embers can still be rekindled]
During the voyage, the writing continued to emerge.
Lu Li's body swayed with the boat, and he looked ahead. At the end of the deep ocean, the coastline and the small wooden house appeared in front of his eyes.
[And the gift you mentioned at the beginning will also be presented to you at this time]
Bang——
The bottom of the wooden boat collided with the gravel and ran aground on the beach where the waves receded.
Lu Li wanted to go back to the staircase. Although he was no longer physically strong enough to climb the steps with a height of nearly four meters, he suddenly changed his mind and walked into the small wooden house.
The deep hole in the ground has disappeared, leaving only the faint fishy smell that has not dissipated and the mud on the floor.
[This is the test itself]
Writing appeared on the window.
Lu Li closed the door, hung the latch, walked to the bed and lay down.
A strange feeling of sleepiness came to his mind, and Lu Li's consciousness gradually became hazy.
Squeak——
Just as he was about to fall asleep, the bolted wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure in black robe holding a lit candle walked into the wooden house.
This outline seems familiar, but it is difficult to remember when I saw it.
The outline never had the smell of the deep sea. It walked to the wooden table and put down the candle.
The heavy eyelids were completely closed, and before his consciousness fell into sleep, only two gentle whispers were heard.
