The dagger stabbed at the chest, but Anna stopped her.
"Even if it's false, I don't want you to be hurt..."
Anna whispered softly, and the outline suddenly dispersed like mist, covering Lu Li. The words with regret echoed in his ears.
"Find me quickly..."
…
Clouds cover the sky.
It's almost evening in the dark wilderness.
Lu Li's silhouette emerged in the dark wilderness.
It is incomprehensible, as if it is a murmur or the content of the text appears in the depths of my mind.
【lighthouse】
[A person playing with delirium is like a stupid clown playing tricks in front of you, and the illusion that is no different from reality is like a shoddy drama full of loopholes in front of you. You are like a lighthouse that penetrates the fog, guiding the lost people.]
【You can see through most illusions and look directly at the truth.】
【How can you naively think you have no worries after receiving their kindness】
The Emerald Dream bestowed upon Lu Li the title of Curse.
The negative side is unknown.
Lu Li observed his surroundings, and he appeared at the place where the convoy was attacked. The traces of more than ten days ago had not disappeared. People might have taken away useful things in a strange way, and the broken frame and iron cage were still abandoned in the wilderness, with no one paying attention.
The mottled dark earth was stained with blood or charred ashes.
Lu Li judged the direction from the direction of the convoy's wreckage and walked towards the Ghost Town.
There is always a gap between reality and illusion.
When Lu Li could see Ghost Town, the silhouette in the distance was not a small town in the wilderness.
It was a huge skeleton that could be called Leviathan, and the low mountain it was attached to seemed as small as a mound against the background.
More than half of the skeleton was buried deep underground. Even so, the sternum that emerged from the ground was as thick as a house, extending nearly a thousand meters in height and piercing into the sky. The long and flat head rested on the top of a short mountain.
The Ghost Town is located in the ribcage of the skeleton, as if protected by the curved sternum.
The Emerald Dream only created the ghost town that Lu Li imagined, but did not actually present the ghost town.
After staring at the fantasy-colored skeleton and the strange town in his chest for a moment, Lu Li looked away and walked towards the skeleton.
The closer you get, the more you realize how shocking this skeleton is, which spans more than ten miles in length. Compared with its sense of security, Ghost Town is like a cub living under a giant beast, or a roof.
Children taking shelter from the rain.
It seems that because of its existence, Lu Li was able to walk alone from the dangerous wilderness into the safe area of the town.
Perhaps because of the incomparable sense of security in Ghost Town itself, or perhaps because Ghost Town is connected to Midnight City, carriages and travelers are no longer rare and rare, just like a prosperous town.
Most of the carriages pulled by carts are creep horses, but there are also some carriages that appear to be those of nobles or wealthy businessmen filled with other creatures.
Incomprehensible creatures.
A hyena creature that is as huge as a horse and has five heads growing like a tumor.
Like a thick fog or a rain cloud, the shape is not fixed, only a pair of strange purple lights shine through the fog.
A group of small, dwarf-like creatures chattering in human language, but the order was disrupted and incomprehensible, pulled the carriage with reins.
Everything is pulling Lu Li back to the real world from the old days.
Within five miles of the small town, the sternum piercing the sky like a pillar of heaven is very close at hand.
Next to it, humans are as small as dust.
After passing the natural barrier formed by the sternum, the entrance to Ghost Town was right in front of him. But just like when he came to Ghost Town in his dream, Lu Li had the same problem: he didn't know the rules of Ghost Town.
Following the team into the town, Lu Li walked towards the guard, brushed off his hood and asked, "This is my first time in Ghost Town. What are the rules of the town?"
"Don't be scared."
The guard wearing armor that was unique in the old days but now useless answered.
"There will be many...naughty little guys popping up to scare you."
As he finished speaking, a small clay figure the size of a finger crawled out from the gap in the breastplate and screamed at the guard.
The guard was so shocked that he choked.
Some people who looked at me because of the screams also looked away as usual.
"You talk too much hehehe"
The clay figure jumped to the ground with a smile, slipped into the town and disappeared.
"So don't be scared, they will tease you if you scream."
Perhaps because of Lu Li's appearance, or perhaps because standing guard was boring and needed to kill time, the guard added: "Also, don't make these little guys angry, the church will not let you go."
Lu Li then asked about a tavern where he could get information. The guard recommended Lu Li to go to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern, and remember to mention his name to the tavern owner so that no one would dare to fool him with false information.
Of course, you can also earn a referral fee.
After thanking him, Lu Li went to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern, which is located in the middle of the long and narrow Ghost Town.
The guests at the Cape of Good Hope Tavern are a mix of locals, foreigners, and businessmen taking a break.
What happens in the Dark Wilderness can usually be found out here. Of course, this requires a certain amount of money.
Lu Li walked into the tavern, and the black robe that shrouded his silhouette attracted some jealous glances. Ordinary people would not hide their appearance.
But as Lu Li brushed his black robe, his fear disappeared and turned into a look of interest.
The owner of the tavern was also guessing the origin of the man who was as clean as a noble, with black hair and black eyes full of mystery, and asked: "Hello, distinguished guest, what do you need?"
"Hans recommended me here and I want to ask some questions."
The tavern owner grinned: "Whether it's the deep story of Ghost Town, the secrets of Midnight City, or the origins of the little guys, you can find out here."
The tavern owner said that Lu Li was indeed interested, but he only had 212 shillings, which was not too little, but not too much.
Lu Li could only ignore these interesting news and asked: "On the first day of eternal night, the whereabouts of the convoy from Leviathan Town to Weird Town."
The tavern owner's smile widened: "You have come to the right place. The only survivor of the convoy is resting in the guest room."
Has anyone else escaped from the Emerald Dream?
Is he the convoy leader with a cursed title?
The tavern owner asked his waiter to call someone upstairs, and then said to Lu Li: "I will take 10% of your information transaction, half of which belongs to Hans."
This is a tavern rule.
Of course, both parties can also leave the tavern to trade, but we will not be held responsible if you leave the tavern.
After waiting for a while, a burst of noise suddenly came from upstairs. The dust fell, and the guests looked up in surprise.
bang
The figure rolled down the stairs, knocked over the wooden table and stopped, knocking over a dinner plate and a wine bottle.
A muscular figure rushed down from the second floor and fell on the figure rolling down. The latter arched his body, spit out a large pool of filth, and passed out.
The woman pulled out the dagger from her thigh and swung it at the unconscious man.
"Hey, no fighting in the Cape of Good Hope tavern!" the tavern owner warned loudly.
"Then stealing is allowed?"
The woman said sarcastically without looking back, and continued to swing the dagger, cutting open the man's coat pocket, and taking back her own things and the man's things.
