Two hundred and seventy-seven. Spread on the land without hope
The convoy carrying the old man arrived at Storm Point in the afternoon.
They were not in a good condition because they had been bumpy for a day, but it was better than staying in the wilderness and being swallowed by darkness.
After unloading the old man, the convoy returned to the wilderness again to pick up the migrating people behind.
City Hall roof.
The Lord of Stormhorn looked at the city gate in the distance. The Stormhorn guards were maintaining order and letting people go to the vacant houses.
Looking further afield, there is no end in sight to the endless migration procession on the road.
"Let our convoy follow and help." The city lord said to the steward standing behind him. "And tell those businessmen that if I see any fool who dares to increase the price, I will send him to the guillotine!"
"They probably won't sell it," the butler warned.
"Then let their fish rot in the warehouse." The city lord snorted coldly, with disdain for the nobles. "Send someone to go to Luo Lei Castle to find my brother, the city lord, and ask him to send a batch of food and clothing."
The butler nodded and left.
The city lord continued to look at the endless queue.
A piece of wind and sand blew, and the city lord squinted his eyes slightly and looked behind him.
A new sandstorm is brewing deep in the barren land
…
"——I think you misunderstood something, child."
After a brief pause, the guide seemed to remember something, and the corners of his eyes gradually widened: "There are some radical believers among us, they-ahhhhh!!!"
The old man suddenly hugged his head and screamed hoarsely in pain.
Almost at the same moment, Anna also held her head and screamed in pain.
The believers' mass was interrupted by screams and they looked up.
Lu Li reached out and touched his waist.
"Get out of my head!"
Anna and the old man suddenly screamed in unison at the same time. After the words fell, a shadow emerged from the old man's narrow shadow and returned to Anna's feet.
The old man who had recovered himself looked at Anna who was still holding her head in fear, pointed at her and shouted in horror: "It's controlling my mind...kill it!"
The believers looked at each other and gathered around Anna, but were blocked by Lu Li who stood in front of Anna.
"They're in this together...kill them!"
The guide who was pushed to the back roared ferociously, no longer as friendly as before.
Lu Li no longer hesitated, pulled out his psychic gun and pulled the trigger on the cultist.
Bang!
The sound of gunshots and the obscure aura behind him appeared at the same time, and Lu Li was caught in a death retrospective in an instant.
"It's controlling my sanity...kill it!"
In front of the fireplace, the guide pointed at Anna and shouted in horror.
Lu Li ignored the approaching cultists and himself who was protecting Anna behind him. He strode up to Anna and stretched out his hand to lift off her cloak.
But Lu Li's palm passed through the outline and could not touch Anna.
Lu Li turned around and pulled out the torch from the fireplace and approached Anna. The firelight reflected the delicate face under the cloak, but now it was full of pain and madness.
"They're in this together...kill them!"
The person leading the way behind him screamed, and then gunfire rang out, and Lu Li escaped from the death flashback.
At this moment, Anna's screams behind her suddenly became sharp, and biting coldness erupted from around her. Lu Li and the believers were blown away like rag dolls by the violent aura, and they smashed against the wall with a muffled sound.
Bang!
Lu Li fell to the floor, and Salvation fell beside him.
The guide in the corner had his head tilted to one side. His posture was wrong, his head hit the wall first and his neck was broken.
An unlucky believer fell into the fireplace and tried to struggle out, but was suppressed by Anna's burst of air and was unable to escape, screaming and burning.
Cluck cluck cluck——
The sanity counter beeped crazily, mind-numbingly.
Violent air flow surged in the small living room. Lu Li's broken hair and clothes trembled, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at the painful Anna in the center of the living room.
He looked away and reached for the salvation that fell next to him. A cold feeling suddenly passed through his fingertips, and a wall in front of his finger disappeared, revealing the empty street outside.
Lu Li looked at Anna again, twisted air burst out from around her, her cloak shattered, and the invisible blade turned into an afterimage under the illumination of the human-shaped torch, ravaging the entire wooden house.
The Human Torch's screams stopped abruptly, and his skull was opened by the air blade. The other three believers who survived were also cut open by the invisible blade and turned into minced meat in an instant.
The salvation that fell aside was cut into pieces, but they deliberately avoided Lu Li. In the house where sawdust was scattered, only Lu Li's surroundings were intact.
Intense puncture sounds resounded in the dilapidated house, and a hysterical scream suddenly came out from the dust.
"Get...get out of here!"
The violent airflow erupted again and the house was shattered. Lu Li was thrown out by the strong wind and fell to the street. He rolled dozens of times on the ground and hit the wall of the house on the opposite side of the street.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound and Lu Li coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The firelight of the fireplace was extinguished by the strong wind, and darkness enveloped it from all directions. It was suddenly dispersed by the light from the "lighthouse" held tightly in Lu Li's palm.
A soft light like the sun bloomed and poured around, shrouding Anna in the ruins.
It illuminates the surrounding colleagues, and also reveals some... things that should not be visible to the naked eye.
If there is substantial darkness permeating the sky above Anna, it is like a portal through which one can vaguely glimpse the existence that flashes behind the darkness.
The densely packed eyeballs, the indescribably swollen pieces of flesh, the tentacles fluttering like seaweed, the white palm with nails growing out of dense teeth, the outline of the limbs migrating and the body bloated.
The breath of the other world poured out, and the other world and the real world seemed to overlap around Anna, and the hidden weirdness was emerging.
Everything he saw was causing his sanity to drop rapidly every minute.
But Lu Li still stared closely at Anna, seeing the surging aura of the other world sinking into Anna's figure.
The outline of the white skirt is becoming solid.
When it was no longer illusory, the screams disappeared. Anna's hands holding her head turned into covering her cheeks, and turned into a sad and miserable cry.
The raging wind around him was dissipating, Lu Li's black hair fell, and the streets gradually returned to silence, except for the echoing cries.
Lu Li frowned. For some reason, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart, and an indescribable sadness and sourness filled the tip of his nose and the corners of his eyes.
Amid the distant cry, a phantom of a twisted hemp rope appeared above Anna's head, and then gradually dispersed.
As the hemp rope disappeared, the crying Anna began to lose color, and the color seemed to be washed away by water, flowing and dissipating from her body.
Sizzling...sizzling...
A rustling sound suddenly came from my arms.
Lu Li lowered his head and silently took out the loud evil spirit broadcast - it was making a sizzling noise indicating that there were evil spirits around.
Looking back to where Anna was standing, the portal to the other world in mid-air had disappeared, leaving behind a colorless, dark silhouette of a girl.

She turned her head and seemed to be looking this way.
The next moment, the outline collapsed into a shadow and disappeared into the ruins.
