Pusius quickly comforted Lu Li, whose state had changed: "Yes, Mr. Lu Li, do you still remember that the prophet said it would not be a bad ending? We have to believe him."
"Is there water in hell?"
Lu Li's eyes fell on the water basin in Hades' hand, and he changed his attention.
"I won't ask you about your secret, and you don't ask about mine." Hades didn't intend to tell him.
Now that Pusius was awake, they planned to take him away. When they learned that Pusius was leaving, Hades rarely showed his reluctance: "You should let the little guy rest for a while."
"I want to follow Mr. Lu Li!" Pusius shouted.
"Well... when a child grows up, he will always resist the arrangements made for him by his elders."
Hades seemed sad, like a disappointed old man. At this time, Lu Li could more clearly feel that it was twenty-four years later.
Psius went to comfort him again, but not just comfort, it hoped that Hades could return to the ground as an exorcist to help them.
"Go back? I don't want to. And I'm no longer an exorcist." Hades refused, even if Psius was with him.
Lu Li looked at the businessman Anthony inquiringly. The businessman could tell who the exorcist was.
"He's not an exorcist," the businessman Anthony replied.
"See? Businessmen say so."
Lu Li then offered to buy some bullets.
There is an assembly line factory in Weiner Freeze Port, but there are no blueprints for bullets. It will still take some time to make silver-plated bullets that can be used by the psychic gun.
"The ground is still using this kind of old weapon? It's none of my business, and don't tell me what happened above. It's 100 shillings a piece." Hades always showed his gold teeth habitually when talking about transactions.
, and actively blocked any messages on it for fear of death.
"make a deal."
Bullets stored in the dry hot hell are still usable, maybe. Hades doesn't let them be used here, and takes no responsibility if sold.
Lu Li still used shillings that were worthless to him to buy two boxes of silver-plated bullets from Pusius.
"Mr. Lu Li, have you found a way to resist the curse?" Pusius asked with hope.
"Wait! Wait until I'm far away before you talk!"
Hades exclaimed and moved his parasol away from Lu Li and the others.
"No."
"What should we do?"
"I...can't...tell you yet."
After leaving hell, Pusius's consciousness will continue to be deceived by the pagans, and Lu Li's plan is to hide those pagans.
"Then...what should I do?" Pusius asked.
"Remain ignorant." Lu Li said.
"oh……"
Pusius seemed to understand.
The businessman left Hell soon. Lu Li and others will have to stay in Hell for a while until the businessman Anthony returns. The news he brings will determine their next stage of action.
"Why...this man...lives...in hell."
Ophelia observed Hades in the distance. He climbed up the city wall to supervise the lemures carrying the stones.
"He thinks hell is safer than above."
Judging from the current results, this is not a wrong decision.
There are obviously secrets buried in Hades. Such as the determination to destroy their world, and the power to resist the erosion of the soul by hell everywhere.
But Hades didn't want to tell him, and Lu Li didn't want to understand.
The businessman soon brought back good news.
It's time for them to leave.
Looking at the dark red land in the distance, the peaks at the end of the rift valley are as majestic as the back mountains of the world. The heat waves rising from the magma sea behind them pour into the clouds, forming a magnificent picture.
He still has some unresolved grievances in hell.
But not now.
Taking the medicine that the merchant brought back to Psius to put him into sleep, they passed through the gate of hell and returned from the heat to the cold.
There are no more members of the Shadow Church on the streets, and the worm tunnel leading to Belfast is at your feet.
…
The falling snow in Belfast is like the sound of ocean waves that never stops.
What also has not disappeared is the presence in the fog that leaves footprints in the snow.
Lu Li and the others left the Worm Road and entered Belfast around Agate Lake.
The Twisted Vine Church did not send any believers to escort them, or rather, they did not send any believers to escort them as planned, but there was a Vine Church believer waiting for them on the street.
The dull believer who had sent them out of Belfast just days before.
"Have you been waiting for us here?"
Lu Li discovered the footprints extending from the house behind the dull believer.
It should have stayed here long enough.
"The prophet... knew... that he would come back, and also knew... the result... of our... trip, right?"
"He gave me to you."
The dull believer did not answer, but handed the parchment to Lu Li.
Under the illumination of an oil lamp, the glossy edges of the parchment revealed conversations that had already taken place or that had not yet taken place.
[Lu Li: Have you been waiting for us here? 】
【"It's just what you think"】
[Ophelia: The prophet knew he would come back and also knew the outcome of our trip, right? 】
【"I see everything in the long river of time"】
[Ophelia: Why don’t you tell us]
["Knowing the future means future changes, which will only make the ending worse"]
[Ophelia: I don’t think so]
[“You who should have taken the left foot will take the right foot first. The distance of each step is no longer the same, the time of arrival changes, the encounter becomes different, the conversation goes awry... The avalanche is caused by the first insignificant snowflake.
”]
[Lu Li: What is our plan]
["You suspect that the existence of bewitching Pusius has the same origin as the capture of Catalina. Let the Shadow Church follow you to Watch Town to bring Pusius back, and let the merchants go to the Distorted Church to seek cooperation. Together, we will lure out the heretics and rescue the captive.
Catarina captured"]
[Ophelia: What’s the result! 】
["Remember what I wrote before? I can't tell you"]
[Lu Li: Who captured Catalina]
["The same cannot be said"]
Lu Li looked away from the end of the parchment.
The question that never happened is indeed a new question that arises every time he hears the previous question. Ophelia should be the same.
Lu Li could understand the prophet's avalanche example, which was like the story of "one missing horseshoe nail", but the feeling of being concealed and manipulated was not pleasant.
Although they knew that the prophet could only observe and guide the outcome due to Lu Li's help, just like the author of a book.
All they could do now was trust the Prophet and He was with them.
Lu Li only has one problem now.
"The back...and..."
Catalina suddenly pointed to the faint words on the back of the parchment.
Lu Li turned over the parchment and looked at the back.
