The towering World Back Mountains lay ahead of the road, and at the foot of the cold mountains, Lu Li moved forward silently.
He is getting closer and closer to the snow-capped mountains, but the temperature is getting warmer and warmer.
Figures of people appeared on both sides of the road, people who had been possessed and killed by Anna. They angrily accused Lu Li who was passing by.
"It was you who made her become like this!"
"You are a sinner!"
"You killed us!"
"Why don't you kill her!"
Every figure was accusing Lu Li, but Lu Li passed them silently without saying a word.
He was getting closer and closer to the world's back mountain range, but the snow-like mist made the mountains hazy and no longer clear. Ahead of the road, Anna, holding a straw cat, waited quietly for Lu Li. As he got closer, her silhouette changed into a shawl
The figure in black robe.
"Do you remember what I said?" Friday's reminder came from the black robe. "Don't pry into things in the black robe."
"Don't."
Lu Li slowly woke up.
The fire in front of me was burning and crackling.
The firelight brings warmth and completely reveals the narrowness of the holes in the rock formations.
Across from the fire, Friday was holding a brown paper bag and eating something.
The brown paper bag contained strange objects that Lu Li could not understand: it contained many unborn embryos, which had been transformed by unimaginable power, losing their original appearance and appearing as twisted shapes wrapped in uneven black matter.
Once the black solid with an ominous aura feels the warmth of life, it will turn into dark mucus, covering it layer by layer and absorbing every power. But it also reveals a very beautiful feeling in the five senses and even the mysterious six senses.
The breath seduces countless unsteady human beings to become one with it.
Each embryo seduces Lu Li with blasphemy, but reason resists the disgusting blasphemy.
Friday soon discovered that Lu Li woke up and ate his food quickly as if he was afraid of being robbed. He put his hands behind his back and threw away the brown paper bag, letting it be soaked and torn into pieces by the underground river.
Lu Li was indifferent. He wouldn't say anything even if Friday was like a wailing soul.
"Where did the fire come from?"
Lu Li's black eyes reflected the burning fire.
The ashes had accumulated several centimeters thick, indicating that it was ignited shortly after Lu Li fell asleep.
The warmth in his sleep comes from this. Without it, Lu Li would be as cold as a rock, or he would be seriously ill.
"Everything can be brought over by the underground river."
As he spoke, Friday reached out to stir in the underground river, grabbed a twig and threw it to the fire to dry.
As mentioned before, even if the evil spirit's true form, Lu Li, was fished out of the dark river on Friday, he wouldn't be surprised.
Although the content of the dream was bad and confusing, Lu Li's state after resting was much better than when he first woke up.
"How long have I slept?"
Friday rubbed his wet hands on the drying rocks by the fire: "You can ask me this question again after I get the alarm clock."
"Approximately how long."
"Maybe half a year or a year." Friday said casually.
I don’t know whether it’s tens or hundreds of meters deep in the underground rock formations. The more the words spoken by the mysterious Friday deviate from common sense, the more likely they are to be true——
It wasn't until Lu Li reached out to touch his chest that the wound was unchanged from the last time he woke up, and he realized that this was another casual Friday incident.
When the sleepiness subsided, Lu Li began to check what was left on his body.
The straw doll and the chess pieces from the Doomsday Book were still in his trouser pockets.
The former protects him from dying in the silent hour when he is in a coma, and the latter strengthens his body from dying from injuries and cold.
All four psychic guns were lost, but the dagger was still there, and the evil spirit broadcast was kept in the inner pocket of the coat, but it might not be usable after being soaked in water, so it was placed by Lu Li to dry by the fire.
The only surviving stone badge was lying among the debris of his companions. When Lu Li took it out, Wu Wu looked over and said that there were no merchants here.
Lu Li did not go to verify whether Friday was right or wrong and put away the stone badge.
What's interesting is that the currency paid by the existence in the fog is still there - it became part of the bandage in his shirt pocket and was wrapped around Lu Li's chest.
Lu Li took it out and put it into his pants pocket, then unwrapped the bandage in circles, but was stopped by Friday when there was only the last circle left.
"If I were you, I wouldn't look at the wound after being fatally wounded." Friday's words were difficult to understand and shattered common sense. "You would die after seeing the wound."
Lu Li stopped and re-wrapped the bandage.
He was thinking about the true meaning of Friday's expression.
Is it a simple "exposing the wound will make you infected and die" or is it an idealistic "you should have died, but you didn't die because you didn't see the wound".
"Don't want to die?" Friday's tone was teasing.
Lu Li did not answer because his stomach made a "gurgling" sound.
"Hungry?"
"fine."
The feeling of hunger is not strong.
The increase in the Book of Doomsday Apocalypse obviously has nothing to do with science. It can double Lu Li's humanity and sanity values, and also double Lu Li's patience.
The growling of his stomach was more like reminding Lu Li that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
“Food needs to be prepared in advance.”
Friday said, sitting on the shore, putting his arms into the rapid water to explore, and at the same time asked Lu Li: "Is there anything you don't like to eat?"
Her tone was as if she was sitting in a restaurant, holding a menu and asking Lu Li across the table.
"No." Lu Li replied, then he remembered something and added: "Normal human food."
Friday continued to fish, as if groping through the long river called time.
At some point, a palm-long cod was caught by Friday and thrown ashore. It was already dead and looked at the rock wall with hollow eyes.
"A sea fish." Lu Li said.
"So it drowned," Friday said nonchalantly.
One fish was obviously not enough for the two of them, not even for Lu Li. On Friday, he continued to fish in the underground river, while Lu Li used a knife to open the belly of the fish and take out the internal organs. He selected suitable ones from the small pile of branches next to the fire and skewered the cod.
Bake on the fire.
The black spotted fish skin gradually becomes ripe.
"Here you go."
A small glass bottle of modern creations was thrown towards Lu Li. Lu Li took it and it contained crystal grains of salt.
"I brought this with me."
Friday answered Lu Li's gaze.
Anyway, Lu Li didn't see whether Friday took out the salt shaker from his arms or from the underground river.
Soon, another sea fish was thrown over by Friday, this time it was a palm-sized tuna.
"Do you like sea fish?" Lu Li asked.
"Marine fish don't have so many annoying fish bones." Friday said. "And I don't care. Everything can be brought over by the underground river, right?"
Faced with lies that could be exposed at any time, they maintained a tacit understanding of each other in the cave of the rock formation.
Lu Li grilled fish and fished on Fridays. Time flowed in this tranquility.
When the fish was half-cooked, Lu Li asked, "How do we get out of here?"
"Isn't it good to stay here?"
Friday asked rhetorically.
"Maybe we can survive longer than the people above."
