"The old man didn't tell me. The names of gods are taboo, even if they are dead."
"Prada..." Lu Li whispered a word, it might be a certain product, maybe a certain town, maybe a certain name...
As the whisper spread, Lu Li felt the resonance and connection with the upside-down city above his head. That feeling was insignificant, and only when associated with it would he have the illusion of looming reality.
"Do you know the name of the ancient god?" Anna asked, her warm palm slipped into Lu Li's palm, and they quietly intertwined their fingers.
"Not sure, maybe it's related." Lu Li thought. "It's written at the end of the test paper."
"I don't know the content. The test paper seems to be shrouded in fog and it's hard to see clearly." Anna rubbed Lu Li's palm like a little girl playing with puppets and told Lu Li her experience.
Anna cannot spy on the Upside Down City above her, but her identity as a wraith itself is a kind of protection. At least in the "paradise" with its rules, the only people who can hurt her are humans.
Like Lu Li, the city guards arranged an identity for Anna: professor of Xiutes University. Realizing that she could not leave, Anna went to the university they had visited yesterday with worries about Lu Li. At that time, the pattern was not as clear as it is now, and humans consciously hid
Disguised. There is chaos and killing everywhere, corresponding to the word "paradise".
On the way to Xutes University, Anna met the dying old demon hunter. He had seen through the rules and disguised himself at the beginning, but unfortunately he was attacked by a stupid monster who fell into chaos and treated him as a human. Although he was an exorcist
The most elite existence among humans, but it is still difficult to get rid of the shackles of human beings themselves. They are weak and have difficulty escaping.
Knowledge will make a person no longer extreme. This sentence may not make sense, but it applies to this old man. Anna's appearance and non-aggressive behavior made the old man take the initiative to release his kindness and tell the clues he analyzed and... his last words
.
"'Don't be afraid of the darkness of the setting sun, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow.' He seemed to be warning me..." Anna recalled the old man's strange tone before he lost his breath, as if this sentence did not just refer to the current situation.
The human body endowed Anna with the lost emotions - the lost emotions were expanded and expanded, so she was hotter and more emotional than when she was alive. At least the former ghost Anna would not bury the old man.
After burying the old man, Anna brought the old man's identity symbol, the Exorcist badge, to Xiutes University. Then Lu Li appeared - but she failed to recognize him.
"You look, dress and sound like another person..." Anna said softly.
Disguise is corresponding. In the eyes of humans, weird people will disguise themselves as humans, and in the eyes of weird people, humans will also change - so even if she knew Lu Li's name, Anna did not recognize him, but just kept paying attention, such as lending a helping hand in the cafeteria.
The question when handing out the parchment paper really made Anna recognize Lu Li - the flower pot. Anna knew that Lu Li could make plants grow, she knew.
She told Lu Li the truth about the test paper that she had secretly sensed. The price was that part of her power was taken away, or rather absorbed.
It's hard to say whether this is good or bad. The weakened strength delayed Anna's fall into the abyss, but it also made it difficult for her to protect herself and Lu Li——
"How did you recognize me?" Anna asked strangely.
"I can see the city above my head." Lu Li looked up at the Upside Down City shrouded in mist. In the reflected city, a figure in a white dress sat beside him.
"City?" Anna, who was holding Lu Li, raised her head and could only see the dark mist.
Lu Li told Anna about the Upside Down City and the strange entity.
"Why you?" Anna felt a little uneasy. Uniqueness often means trouble, although the Upside Down City allowed Lu Li to distinguish between weird and human.
"Maybe it has something to do with human nature." Lu Li said. "Who will the test papers be given to?"
"Send it to the principal's office."
Both clues converged on the unidentified president of the University of Sythes.
Is it just Tristan who knows the truth? Or is it just about solving the weirdness raging in the academy?
But one thing is certain, Xiutes University is still normal, and the arrangements he left have not yet been triggered. And Lu Li will also stay in the college until the results are announced.
"Why did you go to the kitchen?"
"Remember Investigator Tristan? He was the chef..."
Lu Li answered Anna's question while waiting. Time gradually passed, and more students who had completed the test papers appeared in the garden, and most of them returned to the wooden dormitories in the back garden.
"What about you? What happened after you came in?" Anna asked.
The garden was no longer a suitable place for conversation. Lu Li carried the flowerpot and Anna back to the wooden dormitory and walked into his own room.
But Lu Li ignored one thing: Wei Wei thought he was a hunter.
Knock knock knock——
The knocking on the door was rapid and continuous, accompanied by calls for help.
"Is there anyone inside? Please open the door. If there is a monster, please catch me again——"
Of course the person calling for help outside the door couldn't be a human being.
"You hide inside first, don't let it find you." Lu Li pointed to the wardrobe in the corner.
Anna already knew that Lu Li had hunted several weirdos, so she hid cooperatively, walked to the door and opened the door.
The young woman stood outside the door, her hand still knocking.
She retracted her palms, and an unnatural expression appeared on her face: "Are you a human? There are monsters in my room. I'm so scared. Can I hide here for a while? Please..."
"Please come in."
Lu Li stepped aside to clear a path.
"Thank you so much." It wanted to show a happy and relaxed expression, but it couldn't control the complex facial expressions, which looked weird and weird, as if it was wearing a fake face.
Bang.
It closed the door and "only" Lu Li and her were left in the room, but the atmosphere had nothing to do with charm.
"How do you think I should thank you?" It walked towards Lu Li who kept retreating, with a gentle tone, still like a fake smile on its face, and its tone gradually turned cold: "For example...eating you."
At this moment, a cold aura invaded, solidifying its figure.
The strange face showed just the right amount of astonishment: "You are -"
"I'm not." Lu Li replied calmly, taking out the redemption mark and placing it on Weird's cheek.
The screams were blocked, and ten seconds later, a corpse fell to the ground.
Lu Li put away the psychic gun, pushed the body under the bed, and fed it to the eager withered claws.
Anna suggested in a low voice to continue - Lu Li would be able to harvest humanity faster with her protecting him, but Lu Li refused.
"Why?" Anna asked puzzledly.
"They ate Tristan. If we kill too many we might affect his plans."
Anna was a little disappointed, but soon she no longer regretted it, because there were weird things everywhere outside, so just be careful.
I guess the remaining consciousness of the ancient gods wouldn't mind them helping to "clean the room".
