Twenty-five boxes of cans were put into the vacated cellar by Anna, and the merchant left shortly after.
Lu Li in the recliner had "Salvation" on his legs.
The worn holster blocked the breath of the other world from the psychic gun.
It has become clear what the "vitality" given by the psychic gun is - the "human nature" in the businessman's words.
Like a fire, it brings safety and warmth to Lu Li, and it also attracts evil beings who covet the fire.
"It" means different things to monsters - evil spirits and evil gods regard it as food to make themselves stronger, evil spirits ignore it, and the monsters that crave it most regard it as fuel.
When the fuel is exhausted, the monsters will be assimilated and swallowed by the abyss.
This is the reason why Jimmy is weakening day by day. The humanity in his soul is disappearing, and he will only regain his body when he hunts other monsters or humans...
Although the merchant had already left before he had time to ask, Lu Li knew that "human nature" and "sanity value" must have a certain relationship, just like the relationship between body and soul.
Improving "humanity" may not necessarily increase the sanity value, but it will increase the resistance to weirdness, making it difficult for them to pollute the mind.
Human beings have never been destined for this path. They are good at using tools, but it is difficult for them to use tools to change themselves.
Only Lu Li, the "salvation" placed on his leg brings a glimmer of hope - he can grow up and does not have to die in despair like others in a dark and lonely world.
"When are you going to hunt?"
After listening to Lu Li's analysis, Anna said to Jimmy and his sister.
"It's my job to hunt, and you stay and watch over Lu Li."
Anna wants to take away the redemption and help Lu Li rob "humanity".
This is a good idea, but there are some conflicts. Lu Li asked Jimmy: "Will killing him without his own hands make you recover?"
"It doesn't seem like...it can only be restored by eating it."
Can't it be plundered like "salvation"...
Lu Li thought about it and gently nodded and agreed to Anna's plan: "Avoid the danger zone and don't go deep into the city."
Anna agreed softly, picked up the salvation on Lu Li's lap, kissed Lu Li gently on the forehead, left the top of the cliff, and flew to the city to hunt for weird things.
Wraith spirits are enough to deal with the weird things that are raging in the city and have the power of lower-level servants.
After Anna left, Remi frowned and said to Lu Li: "The businessman said that improving your 'humanity' will make you easier to detect. I think you are taking a bit of a risk."
"If you don't do anything, you can only wait to die." Lu Li shook his head.
Lu Li cannot hide in a corner for too long. As time goes by, the infected area will eventually spread to the entire world.
At that time, human beings could only hide around like mice, lingering for a while, praying that they would still be alive at dawn after night fell.
Remi sighed at this terrible world, helped her brother Jimmy wind up the radio, and returned to the newly built woodshed to continue repairs.
Lu Li lowered his eyes and unfolded the folded "Investigator Weekly".
Jimmy shyly asked Lu Li to tell him what was written on it after reading it - he couldn't read.
[The most prosperous city on the Allen Peninsula, Belfast, was destroyed!]
Just as Lu Li expected, the first page of the Investigator's Weekly was about the Belfast incident. The edges were accompanied by black and white photos of a fire burning and shrouded in fog.
The content recorded in the weekly report was more detailed than what Lu Li knew. For example, the number of victims, survivors, and, unknown to Lu Li, news about the search and rescue team organized by the Exorcist Alliance to enter Belfast.
["It's been a long time since the agreed time. We waited until the fog came in after dark but didn't wait for them... We don't know what happened to them, but they must have encountered those terrible weirdness. I hope they are just temporarily unable to return instead of
There has been an accident." prayed Søren Matta, Belfast regional director of the Night Watch.]
[To everyone's regret, the investigator messenger who explored the ruins of the city at midnight returned with bad news: all members of the search and rescue team were missing, and traces of heretics were found at the missing location. 】
[Members of the search and rescue team: Demon Slayer Fit Kibbi, Night Watch Sergeant Joffrey Matta, Night Watchman Isa Gay, Investigator Hubble Lloyd, Night Watchman Jermaine Robinson]
"Pagan..." Lu Li whispered.
Belfast is relatively peaceful during the day, and only the unpredictable pagans can silently eliminate the vigilant exorcist team.
Looking at the second news item, Lu Li thought it would be news about other cities that had been attacked, but to his surprise, the news location was in a deserted land.
The third great trouble known as the Disaster is brewing there.
The content of the newspaper stated that half of the current elite of mankind: several teams composed of legendary agents, true-sighted night watchmen and demon hunters have arrived in the deserted land, preparing to enter the new disaster area to explore, find and solve it.
"I hope there will be good results... This world is too fragile to withstand cough, cough, cough, cough..." A violent cough interrupted Jimmy's sigh. He arched his waist and retched painfully, and veins appeared on his forehead. It took a while to calm down.
come over.
On the other hand, the "children" playing not far away were frightened by it, and turned around to look at it.
The news after that was about reports of attacks in various cities, and one of the news caught Lu Li's attention.
[The Exorcist meeting is planned to be held in King Allen City of the Main Familiar Continent in ten days]
The United Exorcist Organization recommends that all exorcists go to King Allen City to attend the meeting if they can ensure their own safety.
The content of the conference will be related to how humans survive.
Allen King City...
It is nearly a thousand miles away from Belfast, and the carriage ride will take at least half a week. But if Anna is allowed to come, it will be enough to go and return in one day.
It's just that this meeting was surrounded by an unsettling gloom, as if something would happen by then and all the exorcists attending the meeting would be wiped out.
Lu Li hoped that this was just his imagination because he planned to attend this meeting.
He must know the real situation of this world and what mankind faces.
At this moment, Lu Li faintly felt that his "human nature" had changed - but the improvement was minimal, maybe only one thousandth, or even less.
Without the doubling of the Evil Spirit Chess "Doomsday Apocalypse", Lu Li wouldn't even be aware of it.
After reading the rest in silence, Anna returned to the top of the cliff ten minutes later.
Bang.
With a muffled sound, a mantis-like humanoid monster with sharp bone spurs all over its body fell into the open space.
Its body was covered with punctured holes, but there was no blood left, only dry and old meat, like black dried meat that had been exposed to the sun for several days.
"Only two monsters with bodies were found, and the other one was bloated and looked like human pus..." Anna said to Remy who was walking over.
"It's already pretty good. We had no choice before." Remi smiled carelessly.
Anna nodded and looked at Lu Li at the edge of the cave.
