One hundred and ninety-two. The ending of the eldest sister's head
Gravel and sand were scattered into the old sewer.
The eternal night and the tide of fog have receded. The dark sky, which symbolizes oppression, is far more relaxing than the cramped passage. Only the weirdos shrink back to the complete area that is not exposed to the outside world.
The bones that covered the sky have left, but the remaining power remains.
But they blocked all the ways to leave, leaving Lu Li with nowhere to escape.
When Wei didn't dare to get closer, Lu Li pulled out the dagger, opened the wound on his leg and squeezed it. Light pink blood mixed with inexplicable pus flowed out from the wound.
After successively treating the spreading wounds on both legs, the sensation and pain gradually returned. The venom only has a paralyzing effect, rather than corrosive digestion.
It took some time for Lu Li to stand up with his swollen legs. Lu Li's eyes fell into the distance. The weird people still didn't dare to get close, fearful of invading the existence of the old sewer.
The outline of the law enforcer has not yet emerged.
Lu Li put his hand into the empty pocket of his coat and looked around the ground. The wooden box containing the eyeballs was nowhere to be seen. They were most likely scattered around, but it was difficult to find them.
Observe all surfaces around you until you find a wooden box half-hidden by the ruins.
Lu Li held onto the rock wall to prop himself up and staggered towards the wooden box with numb legs.
squeak
The weird thing under the rubble was struggling for mercy as Lu Li approached and waved his forelimbs. It didn't have the usual weird and hateful appearance in old sewers. It was ugly at best, like a hairless squirrel.
Lu Li picked up the wooden box, opened the lid to expose the eyeball lying at the bottom, and then opened the collapsed wall to release the strange thing underneath.
An unknown tremor was suddenly detected from the depths of the earth again. Lu Li frowned and turned back, staring at the violently shaking rock wall that was littered with gravel.
Wow
Large pieces of rock fell off. Mouthparts covered with fine teeth drilled out of the rock wall.
Ophelia emerged from the depths of the crawling wormhole and jumped out of the worm's mouth.
"Found... found it!"
"Where is Catalina?" Lu Li asked with a frown.
Ophelia came too soon...
"What? In Inns...mouth...be careful!"
Ophelia screamed hoarsely, and Weird, who had been rescued by Lu Li, hugged his calf tightly, biting his three-parted lips.
Lu Li pulled it up the moment he felt the pain, punished it with his left hand that had the power of redemption, and died in pain while screaming for mercy that he couldn't understand.
What's worse is that the strange teeth are filled with poison, and the power is drained from the body.
"Bring the body..."
Lu Li was unable to whisper, fell down and fell into coma.
…
Every time Lu Li fell into coma, he would foresee bizarre dreams.
This time is no exception.
In the gray mist-like chaos where time and space could not be distinguished, the sleeping Lu Li glimpsed a lighthouse in the distance. He leaned against the tree trunk covered in shade, covered in blood. Thick, dictionary-like books were placed aside. More details
While observing these, Lu Li fell into a deep sleep again.
Then wake up.
The dilapidated ceiling gradually became clearer, and Pusius ran out of the room while jumping and shouting words that were incomprehensible to his confused thoughts.
When Ophelia entered the room, he understood the first words.
"Sooner or later you will be killed by your kindness."
Just confusing, coherent words spoken by Ophelia.
"Mr. Lu Li, Miss Ophelia has been practicing this sentence repeatedly for two days since you had a high fever." Pusius explained in time.
"Two days..."
Lu Li's memory was still stuck in a dream that lasted only ten seconds.
"It's just a weak toxin. It should be cured in a few hours. Just because you are a weak human being, the antidote is also poison to you."
An old woman wearing a faded patterned blanket and dozens of flaxen braids appears with a weird tibial crutch. Every time she takes a step, there is a clanging sound under the blanket.
"she is"
"Tree Betrayer, Spell Wizard, Antilicia Michael." The old woman leaned forward on crutches and lowered her head as she spoke.
"It was Grandma Antilicia who saved you." Pusius added after being interrupted.
"Be polite, I'm only thirty years old." The magic wizard raised his crutch and knocked Psius on the head, and continued to approach the bed.
"Fortunately, you were smart enough to bring the body, otherwise the last legendary exorcist would have tragically died at the mouth of the weakest monster."
"You know me?"
Lu Li smelled the smell of medicine mixed with her body.
"Many of the weird people in the old sewers don't care about what's going on above. I'm different."
Amidst the suddenly strong smell of the mixed potion, the spell wizard came close to Lu Li's face, touched Lu Li's cheek with the tip of his snake-like, slender, cold and forked tongue, and retracted his mouth.
"Don't be nervous, Wraith. The toxins in his body have weakened." The spell wizard ignored the suddenly hot house and walked out on crutches. "It's time for me to go too."
"Wait a minute, Grandma Antilicia, how much is the reward?"
"No, I just want to greet Dean Lawrence for me when I see him."
"He is the dean of the Appearance Clines University." Lu Li looked at the back of the spell wizard.
"I am the giant tree from which I came, and he always regarded me as proud, before I turned my back on humanity."
In the calmly expounded words, the clanking sound gradually faded away.
"Where are we."
Lu Li looked back.
"Glossy Station, it's far away from Midnight City's main station."
"The crystal...is still there." Ophelia then took out a wooden box covered with crystals.
This is good news, at least they still have chips to exchange for the Eye of the Ancient God.
"Let's get a new wooden box."
"Hmm... where is the eldest sister...?" Ophelia threw the wooden box to the merchant Anthony and asked.
"Taken away by its mother."
Lu Li told about what happened before he met Ophelia.
"You will be...you will be killed by your kindness sooner or later." Ophelia repeated. "Believe...twice...weird."
Lu Li remained silent.
The little guy who always had a shrill voice left them.
"We have lost another comrade."
Pusius lowered his tail and whimpered. He missed Caterina.
"Can we still find it?"
It wasn't until Pusius couldn't help but ask Lu Li and received a positive answer that he no longer felt sad.
Then Pusius tells what happened to them after the separation.
Ophelia, who was being chased, encountered a steam silhouette fighting with the enemy. It waved and collapsed the block behind Ophelia. The rescued Ophelia returned to the first floor and summoned merchants to look for Lu Li and others. Finally,
Find Lu Li through the perception of businessman Anthony.
As a result, less than half of the thirty or so believers who followed are now left, and more than a dozen believers, including Bishop Jon, may be lost forever in the depths of the old sewers.
"Mr. Jon has eyes, but he doesn't use them," Psius added.
"What... next?" Ophelia asked.
"Return to Luokou Town."
They would stay there for several days, waiting for possible surviving believers to return along the Shadow Church Marker, and to wait for a deal with the Steam Silhouette.
But if not, Lu Li could only fail by default.
They paid a heavy price for the commission given by the ancient gods this time.
