One hundred and ninety-five. Enter the dark channel
Lu Li stretched out his hand towards her back, but Doreen, who had her back turned to him, was like a soft-bodied creature, hiding away in a deformed and twisted posture.
Anna also stretched out her invisible hand to grab Doreen's back at this moment, but when she was about to touch her, it melted quietly like snowflakes falling on the chimney.
"My power has been suppressed..." Anna frowned.
"You stay here."
Lu Li said, pushing through the chaotic crowd and chasing Doreen.
"Mom! Mom, where are you-" The cry that rang out was inaudible amid the screams of the people.
Lu Li saw a little boy standing helplessly against the wall, almost being hit by running figures several times. He walked over and picked up the little boy, found the woman who was looking for the child, handed the child back, and continued running towards the fork in the road.
Those crazy citizens completely tore down the wooden planks blocking the forked road, pushed past the exorcists' obstructions, and rushed into the forked road like beasts.
The two exorcists climbed up with difficulty, saw Doreen approaching, and wanted to stop her. Doreen, who was approaching, suddenly exploded, which was not in line with her flexibility...or rather deformed, and evaded the exorcist's blockade and rushed into the side road.
"Leave it to me."
Lu Li chased after him, leaving a message to the two hesitant exorcists and chasing them into a fork in the road.
The darkness instantly enveloped him. Lu Li took out his flashlight and turned it on, using the faint light to distinguish the distance from the footsteps ahead.
Doreen was getting farther and farther away from him, and the running sounds of the citizens who had rushed into the fork in the road had disappeared.
thump--
The sound of Doreen falling suddenly came from the depths of the dark forked road. The excavation of the forked road was obviously not completed, and the uneven ground was obviously not easy to walk on.
But it wasn't the fork in the road itself that made Doreen fall down. She tripped over the suitcase that blended in with the color of the rock wall, and the gold coins inside fell out.
The whereabouts of the previous city lord are obvious.
Lu Li caught up with Doreen who had climbed up. She fell in front of the abyss at the end of the fork in the road. Her fall seemed to make her regain her senses and stop running. However, she stood strangely in place, not caring about the scratches on her body.
Doreen lowered her head, her face hidden behind shadows and hair.
When Lu Li took a step forward, she slowly raised her arm and pointed at the wall beside her.
The dim light circle fell on the uneven rock wall, revealing Doreen's shadow... It was not a shadow.
The black shadow is completely carved into the rock formation, and is strangely identical to Doreen's body shape.
Lu Li moved his flashlight and found more humanoid shadows around the shadows on the rock wall.
Figures stood in the rock wall one after another, some far away, some very close. Their outlines appeared on the rock wall, as if they were quietly observing Lu Li standing between them.
Doreen slowly lowered her arm, causing Lu Li's attention to return to her.
"This is my end..."
Doreen said softly, stepping back, landing one foot on the abyss, and stepping out with the other——
The young and fragile life disappeared in an instant before Lu Li's eyes.
Darkness and silence enveloped Lu Li from all directions, and Lu Li vaguely seemed to hear some kind of call coming from the abyss that swallowed up Doreen and the citizens.
Lu Li ignored the call and stepped back step by step. The human-shaped black shadows in the rock walls on both sides occasionally jumped into his sight? He suddenly understood in his heart? These black shadows may belong to those citizens who jumped into the bottomless abyss.
Maybe it's because Lu Li's will is strong enough, or maybe it's because human nature resists temptation? Maybe there's no shadow of him on the wall... Lu Li walked out of the fork in the road safely.
Facing Anna's worried gaze? Lu Li shook his head gently.
The chaos under the secret passage has been calmed down, and the unexpected incident has probably been spread to the ears of City Lord Valentine. But at this time, unless no one can pass through the fork in the road, there is no way to stop it.
The panicked staff asked Lu Li for his opinion and rushed back against the wall.
The two exorcists barely blocked the fork in the road? The evacuation plan continued. But the shadow of the fleeting disappearance of the twenty or so people always hung over people? Citizens who passed by the fork in the road would involuntarily cling to the wall and avoid it, and parents would cover their children.
eyes to avoid seeing scary things that you shouldn’t see.
Lu Li and Anna, who followed the crowd, got further and further away from the fork in the road until they could no longer be seen.
Lu Li told Anna the strange things that happened in the fork in the road. After he finished speaking, he thought about the bottomless abyss in the deserted land that swallowed up dozens of exorcists. Did they, like Doreen, discover their fate on the wall?
Doreen's experience is just like what she said at the end, this is her end. It seems that what haunts her is not the strange shadow in the nightmare, but herself? Her fate...
In any case, Lu Li failed to fulfill Dom's request? His sister was eventually found by the shadow and buried in the bottomless abyss of the dark passage.
Thirty minutes later? Lu Lianna arrived at the exit at the other end of the secret passage.
Darkness enveloped the land again.
Lu Li and Anna left the team and watched as they turned their backs to Lunde, who was entrenched in the dark night in the distance, and walked into the long corridor that stretched straight to the end of their sight.
Bonfires were lit at regular intervals on both sides of the corridor to bring light and disperse dandelions.
For most citizens? They were lucky. Until one hour before dawn, when support from St. Ann's Bunker arrived, no strange things disturbed this migrating dragon.
Lu Li and Anna did not meet the exorcists and prepared to return to Flalende City after learning the news of their arrival.
But before leaving, Lu Li saw Dom evacuating.
He seemed to have completely ignored the outside world, and did not notice Lu Li and Anna not far away. Having lost his sister, he was like a walking zombie, following the crowd numbly in the last darkness before dawn.
Lu Li and Anna flew back to Flalund from the ground. City Lord Valentine was surprised by their return. Then he remembered Lu Li and Anna's original purpose and asked, "Do you need help?"
"We will solve it," Lu Li said.
"A bedroom without interruption and food," Anna added.
From the incident in King Allen City three days ago to now, Lu Li only slept for a few hours.
"certainly."
Valentine said, asking the waiter to take them back to the guest room and prepare a sumptuous meal.
Lu Li was indeed very sleepy and fell asleep even before the food was delivered.
When he woke up again, Anna was sitting in a wooden chair by the fireplace, with cold food on the dining table, and there was no other sound except the crackling in the fireplace.
Lu Li looked out the window, it was still as dark as when they came back in the morning.
"What time is it."
"It's almost evening."
Lu Li slept the entire day.
I got out of bed and walked to the window. Not a single figure could be seen in the messy square outside the window, only the black smoke rising from the extinguished fire.
Dandelion mist completely enveloped this dead city.
Anna came up from behind and handed Lu Li a map marking the location of Flalund Sanatorium.
"Valentaire, the last person to leave, left an hour ago, and now we are the only ones left in the city."
