If the camps are simply divided into the surrender faction and the resistance faction, the Desolate Land led by Midnight City is undoubtedly the surrender faction, and the Main Familiar Continent led by Weiner Freezing Port is undoubtedly the resistance faction.
But there are never two extreme seasons, black and white mixed with gray.
Regardless of the "capitulation faction" "Midnight City" or the "resistance faction" Weiner Freeze Port, they actually belong to the human camp. They are just one dark gray, one light gray, one radical, one moderate. One is pure, and the other is tolerant.
Vita's warning reveals the harsh truth: weirdness is irresistible.
Evil spirits, evil spirits, strange gods, ghosts, spies of evil gods, servants of the old gods, strange cults, other world layers, strange things in the fog, ethnic lairs, strange towns, deep space shadows...
The devastated land covered their outlines.
Regardless of resistance or surrender, humans will eventually become part of the world and become...weird.
Just like what Lu Li saw in the outer city.
Just like Vita's ancestors.
Whether Vita's story is true or a lie, the future spoken of is real.
"I have another view on 'existence'." But Lu Li is not pessimistic, either in the past or in the future: "For example, your race may be lost, but it is not dead."
"What's the meaning?"
Weta couldn't think of it and couldn't understand what Lu Li said.
"Lions are not born with claws. Our weapons are the civilization and wisdom accumulated over history. You still remember history, and the civilization of your tribe is still flowing in your body, waiting for the moment of reconstruction."
Vita's dark eyes were fixed, not knowing whether it was because of Lu Li's narration or because the exorcist who was rumored to be indifferent to others actually said this.
"A friend of mine once told me a story."
"A man is lost in another world. He builds houses one after another, digs out canals and farmland, and recreates the books and creations of the past. He is alone, and he is rebuilding the civilization of his tribe."
"You still remember the history of your tribe, which means your tribe has not died out, even if you are the last one."
Civilized names such as the Old Age, the Weird Age, and the Dark Age represent that human beings have never abandoned history.
Human beings may be strangely assimilated after a long time. No matter what they become, as long as history and civilization remain, they will still be human beings.
A ship that constantly replaces its planks remains the same ship.
Lu Li left Vita, who was deep in thought, and walked out of the museum towards the outer city.
Passing through the bustling streets, there is still a moment of silence, and the Midnight Lady protects people from being disturbed.
Because his stay at Vita was shorter than expected, Lu Li returned to the camp with four or five hours left until evening. With nothing to do, he observed the teams wearing tree-shaped badges entering and leaving the camp.
In the first hour, fourteen teams left the camp and eight teams returned. In the second hour, three teams left and ten teams returned. In the third hour, Lu Li stopped calculating the number of teams entering and exiting.
The number of teams entering and leaving the camp varies greatly depending on the time. It can only be vaguely stated that at least 100 teams leave the camp every day.
This means that there are a hundred weird incidents happening every day in the outer city.
The frequency is terrifying, but evenly distributed into the Midnight City with a population of nearly one million, it seems insignificant.
Lu Li's gaze left the dazzling light that illuminated the Midnight City from the top of the tall tower in the core area, and fell towards Kiruait and others emerging from the street in the distance.
Finding Lu Li waiting, they hurried back to the camp.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Um."
"Sorry, Naxi's parents are too enthusiastic...this is for you." Kiruaite smiled sheepishly and took out the still warm food wrapped in brown paper.
“A specialty of Midnight City, it tastes like jicama but is as sweet as pastry.”
Lu Li collected the food, retrieved the strange notes stored in the camp, and stepped onto the lift.
The light ball in the tower that illuminated Midnight City was slightly dimmer than when they first arrived. The slowly rising elevator carried the Holy Light Team away from Midnight City.
"We have solved the root cause of this mission, and the reward should be an additional 1 credit and 1 team point." Kiruait held up the source note wrapped in the alchemy blanket. "In addition to the routine and rewards, we also have unexpected gains...this book
The notebook itself. Do we study the power of the notebook or destroy it?"
As students of Giant Tree Academy, they are obviously not as secretive about weirdness as civilians. Pollutants are like wild beasts, they can hurt themselves...but they can also hurt others.
Naxi safely chose to destroy it, while Lu Li and Yeager chose to study it. Kiruait, who had the deciding vote, shook his head like Naxi: "It seems that this time the Holy Light Team chose to take risks."
Returning to the tree trunk level, Kiruait, Lu Li and the others separated in front of the rest area and went to the task hall to submit task assignment rewards. Lu Li and the others returned to the rest room to arrange.
Protective potion, revealing potion, and roaring potion that can spread the sound to a diameter of 100 meters.
It is not uncommon for teams to privately bring back contaminants for research, causing accidents to occur at the trunk level. Although usually no serious consequences or disasters will occur because the gatekeepers arrive in time, in order to prevent accidents, team points will be deducted and protection must be carried out.
Indispensable.
Ten minutes later, Kiruait brought back the rewards for this mission: 1 basic credit, 1 team point, and 1 extra credit, 1 team point.
It's just that the credits awarded by the mission are not added to each team member, they are a total number and are distributed by the captain.
Kiruait chose to allocate 1 credit to Lu Li, and she shared the remaining 1 credit equally with Yeager and Naxi.
Lu Li needs credits more than them. If a single team member could not obtain more than 50% of the total credits, Kiluaite would give Lu Li more credits or even all of them.
Yeager and Naxi had no objections. They had two months left to advance and were less than 20 credits away from the 100-credit requirement, which was enough to meet the conditions.
Even though it's just an ordinary promotion.
Kiruaite placed the alchemical blanket that wrapped the notes to isolate the pollution on the round table, and asked everyone to prepare to take the protective potion.
At the same time, businessman Anthony suddenly appeared, frightening Naxi who almost spilled the precious medicine. At the same time, he brought a letter smelling of perfume.
This familiar aroma permeates Professor Chris's alchemy office.
【Dear Exorcist】
[What did you say to Vita? It left, saying it wanted to save its own race, and asked me to give you its treasures]
[Tall and beautiful Chris]
The owner of the letter was not surprised. Lu Li asked his teammates to wait for a while and wrote back to her: Tell Vita that hope still exists.
Professor Chris's reply came quickly, and was written conveniently below Lu Li's reply: [This does seem like something you would do, but I didn't expect that even Vita would be infected. Remember to come over when you have time, there are some in these collections
Interesting little things】
Lu Li did not reply and returned to the round table.
