[They have a certain amount of intelligence to drive their instincts. The higher up in the community, the higher the intelligence. However, there is no evidence that the levels below [Ghoul King] have the same intelligence as humans. 】
[Ghouls have no ability to reproduce. They increase their population by attacking humans. When there are [Ghoul Warlocks] in the community, they will be able to transform dead bodies, or lure humans through a medium to make them rational and corrupt. The latter is usually more dangerous and rational.
Fallen humans cannot be detected by the town gods before their transformation. Although they do not have the ability to infect, their human disguise makes the infected more threatening]
[As a weird community, ghouls have habits close to humans and gather to survive. When the community members reach a certain number, the ghoul nest will be promoted to a ghoul town. A small number of nest members will be promoted to [Ghoul Warrior], and a small amount will be promoted to [Eater].

Lu Li turned to the next page, and there was a new ghoul drawn on the back of the page.
【Ghoul Warrior】

【Middle floor】
[Body size 1.7 meters-2.5 meters]
[Ghoul warriors are only responsible for fighting. They have taller and stronger bodies and sharper teeth and claws than ghoul civilians, and there are tight muscles under the rotten skin. 】
Lu Li paused for a moment in the sketchbook and turned to the next page.
【Ghoul Warlock】
[The birth of the lair above Ghoul Town]
【Middle floor】
[Body size 1.5m-1.7m]
The snout and claws of the ghoul warlock have been severely degraded, the decay has been reduced, and the bones protruding under the skin appear skinny, supporting the human skull.
After observing the depiction of the ghoul warlock for a moment, Lu Li looked to another page.
The originally familiar words suddenly changed. They were dismantled and sorted into a withered claw that lingered with a rotten smell. It stretched out the paper claw toward Lu Li.
snap
Lu Lihe's picture book.
But the withered claws did not disappear. The black cover of the illustrated book gradually raised, revealing the outline of the withered claws.
Lu Li pressed the cover with his left hand to suppress the evil power born in the text.
In the dark, an angry roar sounded in the depths of his mind, withered claws retracted the pages of the book unwillingly, and everything returned to calm.
It was as if what he had seen before was just his delirium.
Lu Li did not open the book again because he had already determined one thing.
People never give up on records.
They waited for a long time in Professor Nuno Alexandrovich's office. It was almost afternoon when there was a knock on the damaged and half-open wooden door, bringing the news that the professor had woken up.
Although it’s been a long wait, at least it’s not bad news.
Lu Li and Catalina left the office and were led to the lounge by the guards.
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich was lying on the hospital bed, his forehead bandaged with the same gauze as his right hand, which smelled of medicine.
"I'm so sorry, Sir Lu Li, I was too excited...so I let these idiots offend you." Professor Nuno Alexandrovich apologized to Lu Li uneasily.
The guard who brought them scratched his bulging belly, obviously not caring about being insulted by a professor.
He cared more about this down-and-out man who was treated with respect by Professor Nuno Alexandrovich.
"Damn Meese, go get the other professors."
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich drove away the guards and sighed helplessly to Lu Li: "Fortunately, they are a bunch of idiots like pigs. If they were smarter, they would be in trouble..."
The professor's attitude towards the guards seemed to reveal some secrets, but they both had more important things to want.
"Your Excellency Lu Li, could you please tell me what happened after the Great Migration?" Professor Nuno Alexandrovich couldn't help but ask, and waved before Lu Li replied: "Wait a minute... Wait for those old guys to come.
Tell us later..."
"Sir Lu Li, when did you return to...the ground?"
"More than ten days ago."
"Before eternal night?"
"Um."
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich's eyebrows widened: "You have returned not long ago and may be unfamiliar with this world. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
"What is the source of songs?"
"That ballad that sings your praises?"
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich asked. After receiving the response, he opened up his long-lost memories: "I don't know... we lived in Storm Point after the migration. Although there was a lack of food there, it was much better than Spin City."
Much...and then the song began to spread across Stormhorn as you struck the Third Scourge."
"Do you know about the evil girl's shadow?" Lu Li asked.
"The Shadow of a Girl..." Professor Nuno Alexandrovich murmured in a low voice and shook his head. "I've never heard of it. When those old guys come, you can ask them. They may know something."
This also revealed some information: After Lu Li's "death", Anna stopped wreaking havoc everywhere.
Before asking what happened between the old era and the weird era, Catalina lightly bumped Lu Li's shoulder.
"What do you want to ask?" Lu Li asked.
Katerina looked at Professor Nuno Alexandrovich and said cautiously: "Then, regardless of whether Lu Li is a pure human or not, you will 'buy' him, right?"
"purchase?"
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich's face wrinkled with joy and excitement: "Your Excellency Lu Li, do you need help?"
He thought Lu Li was being treated badly in some way.
"Katrina is the hunter who took me out of the underground and escorted me to Midnight City. She thought I was a pure human and wanted to get a reward."
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich relaxed and smiled: "If that's all, don't worry...what do you want?"
"Civilian status...and money!"
Catalina's breathing became rapid and she clenched her fists nervously.
Whether he continues to struggle in the mire of death as a hunter until his death, or whether he becomes a civilian and spends his life safely, it all depends on this moment.
"It's very simple," said Professor Nuno Alexandrovich.
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich, who made the promise easily, made Katerina unable to believe it and questioned the old man.
"You don't know what Mr. Lu Li means to us..."
Professor Nuno Alexandrovich shook his head slightly and looked at Lu Li with respect like a believer.
"If it weren't for Lu Li, you and many others wouldn't have been born or grown up. Perhaps humans would have been extinct for a long time, or they might have been hiding in the dark underground where disasters cannot set foot."
