The fantasy and weird tests are impressive, especially the second test.
Because that city really exists.
Olivia, who seeks help for her son with severe asthma; Arthur Green Pierce, who kills to save his daughter; the unknown girl who steals money and hides to save her asthmatic neighbor; the weak but willing younger brother, O, who is willing to conceal and bear the crime for his brother.
Peters; Jonah Peters, who fell into evil because of an ancient book, but tried to save a person;
And Mary, the daughter of Viscount Reeves, ultimately changed the outcome of everyone except her own girl.
Are these fictional characters, or are they stories that really happened but were not disturbed by Lu Li and followed their original trajectory?
Ta Feng City, it is like an ancient town passed down by word of mouth.
Towns with city walls can usually only be seen in the Main Continent. Before the war between humans disappeared, city walls were once the best defense against invasion by foreign enemies.
Then something strange happened, and the war disappeared under the coordination of the Demon Slayer Association.
At best, city walls that are no longer useful can only bring a false sense of security and...depression to the residents of the city. Therefore, most towns in the following hundreds of years no longer have city walls that are time-consuming, laborious, and restrict development.
But now there is another way of saying it. With the massive invasion of weird things, the role of the old city wall has become clear and important again. The sense of security it brings is second only to your own home.
Therefore, even though Tafeng City is only a small city with a population of hundreds of thousands, it can still avoid the loss of residents at this time and at the same time accept residents from nearby towns.
Under the city wall where horse-drawn carriages and people were passing by, a strange pair pushing wheelchairs entered Ta Feng City.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of Himfast, Tower Wind City is relatively orderly. Although there are also the sounds of pruning and hammering coming across the houses.
Taverns are a good place to gather information. But for Lu Li, the police station is more suitable for his status.
Anna pushed Lu Li into the police station. Most of the non-busy police officers in the office focused their attention on her black robe. Knowing that Lu Li took the initiative to reveal his identity, he asked if a young man named Jonah Peters had been arrested recently.
.
The police officer was confused by this question and called the deputy police chief. He was also clueless, so Lu Li asked another question: Is there a murderer known as the Intestinal Cutter in Ta Feng City recently?
The deputy police chief's expression changed and he told Lu Li that it indeed existed, and then asked him if the gut-cutter was a monster and that he was an exorcist sent to deal with it.
Before anything happens.
Or maybe the test is just a mixture of reality and falsehood.
"That's right." Lu Li was noncommittal. He asked the deputy police chief about the location of the church and refused his request to stay. He left the police station and headed to the church.
In my memory, the church that was engulfed in flames stood intact behind the low wall.
Anna pushed Lu Li into the church.
In the early morning, the church was shrouded in mist, and the light that slanted into the church's stained windows made the statue holy and solemn.
The light and soothing sound of the organ echoed in the church. The empty church made people subconsciously feel awe and lower their voices.
Lu Li's eyes fell towards the confession room that was the same as in his memory.
There seemed to be a figure sitting behind the hollow wooden wall, but it seemed like there was no figure.
When Anna was also looking there, Lu Li withdrew his gaze and looked at the priest arranging things in front of the church podium and the radio on the table.
"Go to the bench." Lu Li said.
Arriving at the bench, Lu Li looked through the books he had put in his suitcase to pass the time, as if waiting for something.
This made the priest in front of the podium a little curious. Just when he wanted to go over and ask more questions, there were chaotic footsteps outside the church.
Several figures pushing wheelchairs appeared outside the door and walked straight to the bench in the front row.
The priest gave a wry smile and went up to talk to the middle-aged man in charge.
"This is……"
Anna's eyes fell on the girl who was also in a wheelchair - she looked extremely miserable, her face seemed to have been burned by fire, and she was as ferocious as a monster. One of her legs disappeared below the knees, and even only one eye remained.
"Um."
Lu Li watched this scene.
Everything is happening.
The girl in the wheelchair looked curiously at Lu Li, who was in the same wheelchair as her, nodded slightly, and browsed aimlessly around the church, including the confessional.
Only Anna Lu Li and the girl Mary saw that a piece of paper fell lightly from the window of the confessional and landed on Mary's lap.
Not far away, the conversation between Viscount Reeves and the priest gradually became louder and closer to a quarrel. Mary in front of the confessional also started communicating with "Lu Li".
After a while, the quarrel came to an end, and so did the conversation between Mary and "Lu Li".
"Can you speak?" the girl suddenly asked.
【cannot】
"Then do you have a cigarette?"
【Why do you ask this】
"I've always wanted to give it a try. I've seen people who smoke forget their worries for a short time."
【I don’t smoke】
"Goodbye Father, I will try to do what you say...if they really happen."
The girl pushed the wheelchair and greeted the baron and others who were approaching.
The angry Viscount reunited with Mary and left the church.
The church returned to silence.
The priest looked at their backs and shook his head with a wry smile. He turned around and saw Lu Li. He hesitated a little and turned away without coming forward to speak.
Soon, only Lu Li and Anna were left in the church.
"Push me to the confessional," Lu Li said.
Anna pushed Lu Li to the confession room, but no paper came out.
"I can't seem to feel you inside." Anna's tone was mixed with wonder and laughter. This situation made her feel fresh and interesting.
"This is normal." Lu Li said, returning to the bench and continuing to wait.
The story continues. As time goes by, Olivia, Arthur Green Pierce, the unknown girl, Al Peters, Jonah Peters, and the priest come to the confessional one after another to get answers.
and new doubts.
When the priest left the confessional and passed by Lu Li, he finally asked, "Are you a little confused?"
"I am the only one who is not confused." Lu Li replied calmly. He knew everything that was about to happen.
The priest was slightly startled, and a flash of disbelief suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Before night falls, the truth will be revealed before your eyes." Lu Li said without intending to destroy this continuity.
The priest could only suppress his confusion and shock and leave.
Afterwards, Lu Li re-experienced "what happened before" from the perspective of a bystander.
Everyone is redeemed, except Jonah Peters, who feels betrayed.
Because of Lu Li's reminder, the priest didn't find out what happened at the end like he did in the test - he took the initiative to ask about everything that happened.
When the priest returned to Lu Li with a complicated expression, Lu Li took the initiative and said, "Father, do you have any cigarettes?"
"You...I didn't..." The priest didn't understand why Lu Li asked this.
"Can you take me to a cigarette shop?" Lu Li said.
