The weird people on the street stopped one after another, standing strangely on the street and looking up, as if the tremor came from the sky.
After opening the curtain and seeing this scene, Lu Li raised his head as if he had some understanding - the buildings of the Upside Down City reflected in the sky were quietly climbing up vine-like cracks, while the buildings on the ground were safe and sound.
The two cities are making a difference.
"Is the time really accurate?" Lu Li confirmed again.
"Yes, of course! I proofread it while listening to the church bells." replied the uneasy York.
Maybe the time was wrong, maybe it was too early. In any case... they were late.
Anna understood the seriousness of the matter and urged the horses: "Speed up, we have to get out of here immediately."
The centipede responded with a strange hiss, and suddenly accelerated several times its speed, running rampant through the streets.
Anna ignored that it was not a real horse. The sudden acceleration made the carriage bump up and down like a sailboat in a storm, and everyone in the carriage was caught off guard and huddled together. Worse was yet to come. The fragile wooden carriage could not withstand the ravage, and the wheels took the lead in
It fell apart during a jolt, the car fell to one side, and metal rivets hung out like sparks on the bluestone road.
The survivors huddled on the edge of the small carriage, their screams of pain masked by the scratching sound. Anna, who was only protecting Lu Li, made a quick decision, picked up Lu Li and flew out of the carriage, landing on Centipede's strange back.
Click——
Another wheel flew out, there was an insignificant cracking sound, and the connection between the car and the centipede was disconnected.
But before the carriage was left behind, Anna's invisible hand grabbed the survivors in the carriage, pulled them back to her, and pressed them tightly against the centipede's weird back.
Their most minor injuries were a bruised nose and face. York had a gash on his forehead due to the edge of the carriage, and the husband of the elderly couple had an arm broken due to the bumps.
The only good news is that with their flying speed, they can reach the five o'clock block in just three or four minutes.
Anna no longer covered up, and the obscure aura spread freely, warning Xiao Xiao who wanted to attack them.
Lu Li still raised his head, staring at the top of the head at the strange back of the centipede.
The Upside Down City looks like smashed glass with cracks all over it. The cracks in the buildings and streets are getting bigger and bigger, changing from venomous snakes to vines, and from vines to pythons. After that, there is a creepy darkness, deep and deep.
It seemed like something was surging.
"The time is right!"
York's scream suddenly sounded in the howling wind in his ears. He squinted his left eye under the wound and pointed at one of the landmark buildings in King Allen City, the big clock of St. Cathar's Church.
The time on the desk clock, which is dozens of times larger than the desk clock, clearly points to 5:45.
But no one responded to him, and all the survivors were waiting for the result in anxiety and prayer.
Lu Li was also attracted by the horrific scene taking place in Upside Down City.
The existence surging deep in the crack finally emerged - withered claws, countless, and the ubiquitous withered claws emerged from under the crack, graceful like continuous blooming coral.
A bloated monster that was half as tall as a house was entangled and torn apart by withered claws. All its struggles and attacks were powerless, like bread being torn apart by hungry people. And on the street below, there was a fat figure.
It froze in place, the small eyes between the fat flesh were full of fear, and the invisible presence was tearing off its flesh and blood piece by piece.
Scenes like this are happening on every street, with the rifts in the upside-down city entangled in the weirdness on the streets, and the streets below falling into the same chaos.
They were just like humans a few hours ago, unable to resist the invasion of Withered Claws. Even the powerful beings that Anna had to be cautious about were as fragile and powerless as small animals in Withered Claws.
"Anna, control the direction of the horse." Lu Li suddenly said, looking at the centipede flying overhead like a crack: "One meter to the left."
Anna uses a simple and direct method to control the invisible hand to swing the centipede's head, change the direction, and click on the centipede in the city.
Crawling past a group of corals waving their withered claws.
"Half a meter to the right; stick to the left; avoid both sides; go around the two figures."
The calm words made the centipedes crawling rapidly on the street avoid the wreaking claws, but suddenly, Lu Li fell into silence.
"What's wrong?" Anna asked with concern.
"There is no road ahead."
Lu Li's gaze broke away from the Upside Down City and looked ahead: an unobservable crack lay across the front.
Anna pursed her lips tightly and released her breath completely. Seven or eight invisible hands picked up the centipede, lifted it onto the roof of the house, and climbed over to another block.
Just as it fell, the sound of building collapse came from behind.
Lu Li, who had relied on Anna to avoid the disaster, looked up again. The road ahead was straight, with the five o'clock block in front of him.
Rumble——
There was a faint tsunami-like sound behind him. Lu Li turned around and saw the sky collapse.
The withered claws fell from the center of the Upside Down City like a waterfall, like ripples from a lake. Billions of withered claws rushed from the palace and swept into the surroundings.
The withered claws that leaked out vaguely formed an outline of the half body, and the splashing ripples were getting closer and closer, swallowing up a city block almost every second.
The centipede flying on the five o'clock street was less than two hundred meters away from the open door in the distance, but the thunderous noise was already there.
surged in, completely submerging their figures.
…
Standing in the royal city, it is as majestic as a sky-holding giant, and its ugly half-body silhouette composed of countless withered claws roars ferociously toward the sky.
"God is never beautiful."
On a hill a few miles away, a priest whispered sadly.
"There are only those beings who want to invade us, to seduce us, to seduce us, and to become like us..."
This is not the god he believes in, but he can feel his pain and his powerlessness.
"Teacher, I don't understand who He is angry at." The young man on the side said with doubts.
As the words fell, the thick clouds over the royal city suddenly gradually dispersed, revealing the beautiful and vast stars in the deep sky.
It's just that it's definitely not any starry sky that astrologers are familiar with. It's full of strangeness and unconcealable oppression, and it's like a swarm of fireflies, converging toward each other and seeming to form a pattern.
"Don't look!"
The priest lowered his head in fear and reached out to cover the disciple's eyes, but he was still a step too slow. The young man's pupils reflected another eyeball composed of vast stars, and then gradually became cloudy and blurred——
The young man's body began to melt, his eyes were like mucus flowing from his empty sockets, and his painful screams turned into muffled sobs due to the melting of his vocal cords.
The pastor lowered his head and backed away, his shoulders trembling, unable to bear to see the miserable appearance of the student.
The ferocious giants in the city no longer roared. A breeze blew across the entire plain. The giants in the royal city dissipated like ashes in the wind, and there were screams everywhere on the plain.
The pastor screamed and fell to the ground, covering his face in pain.
