Chapter 202 Cognition
"Although the curse has spread, the existence of the building seems to be able to contain the curse to a certain extent. Those weird things in the forest cannot invade our town.
"Of course, we will never go near the forest when we can go ashore."
"That is to say, except for some restrictions, your life here is no different from that on the shore," Jiang Cheng said slowly: "For example, normal birth, old age, illness and death, can I understand this?"
"If the end of day and night, being trapped on the sea forever by black fog, and food shortages are nothing to you, then of course you can." The blond man said bluntly.
"The way to lift the curse is to light the lighthouse and keep it burning?"
"That's right."
"how long?"
The blond man thought for a while, then shook his head, "The priest didn't say anything. She just told us how to lift the curse, but it won't take long."
Chenran put one hand on the table, looked at the blond man and said, "Since the priest has thought of a way to solve the curse, then she must also have recognized this sacrifice, that is, who is the source of the curse."
"Who is it?" Chenran asked.
Hearing this, the expression on the fat man's face became more serious. He had already heard the weird whale song. For something that could emit a whale song,
curious?
No, the fat man instinctively rejected this word.
Because it was too thin and weak, it completely failed to match the identity of the thing that produced the whale song, and the heartbeat that was as thick as a mountain and trembling like a depth charge exploding.
It must be something beyond their knowledge.
Like it only exists in a drunken, troubadour's delusion, or in another completely unknown dimension
To be honest, Fatty didn't really believe that the ever-burning lighthouse could lift the curse, but if he didn't believe it, he still had to do it. If he didn't do anything, he would be even more panicked.
But fortunately, he still had a doctor. The fat man secretly glanced at the doctor with hopeful eyes, and suddenly found that the doctor's eyes seemed to be listening carefully to the blond man's words and thinking along the way.
But his hand rolled his throat inadvertently, and he discovered that the doctor was secretly moving the large claws of the crab from the stone table to the edge, and then slowly stuffed it into his pocket.
Then, take another one
Like a squirrel, storing food for the winter.
"We don't know its name, but according to the priest, no one can glimpse its true appearance. Each piece of hard scales on its thick body is the size of a small mountain, and its sharp teeth are like the steepest mountain peaks. Standing on its From the two ends of the head, you can see the sunrise and sunset respectively. It is an existence beyond cognition, and mortals can only kneel on the ground in front of it. "
"It shakes its body slightly, and the cliffs under the sea will be flattened by it. Every time it breathes, it will set off a terrifying huge wave, overturning all the ships passing by."
"It doesn't care about happiness, because all living beings are just ants in its eyes."
These were like the nonsense of medieval magicians, which actually hurt the ears of several people at this moment, as if they had already experienced a dark and unscientific time when they were listening to these.
Groups of witches were tied to the stake and burned to death, with crows circling above their heads, girls praying and weeping on the street, and everything was whispered in the darkness.
Darkness has no light.
Just when the fat man was gradually sinking into his thoughts in the darkness, the sound appeared again, empty and loud, crushing all the magnificence in the road ahead.
The next second, when he reacted, he was already on his way back.
Chenran walked at the front, holding a torch.
The doctor is by his side.
Looking back, the brightly lit Blackstone Town gradually became blurry.
He didn't even know when they left.
A road made of black mist was paved under the feet of the three people. It was different from when they came. There were no people from Blackstone Town around them.
Fatty thought for a moment and thought that maybe they were worried that if the black fog disappeared, they would not be able to rush back to Blackstone Town in time.
"Doctor," the fat man lowered his voice, "do you think what they said is true? Does such a thing really exist?"
Jiang Cheng also held a torch in his hand, but it was placed very low. The fat man could only see the lower half of the doctor's face, but not his eyes, which made the fat man feel a little uncomfortable.
"Doctor?" The fat man waited for a while and then asked softly.
Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped, which also caused the fat man accompanying him to stop as well. The doctor in the shadow raised his head and seemed to be looking ahead. The fat man blinked and followed suit.
The torch ahead was extinguished at some point, and except for the firelight on the towering lighthouse in the distance, there was darkness ahead.
A dusty voice came from the darkness, and he seemed to sigh at the same time, causing the voice to be unclear.
"Mr. Hao must have thought of it," Chenran's voice continued, "Church, female pastor," he said with a chuckle: "Only baptized men must effectively receive holy orders. Although many believers do not Obey the Bible, but the church must abide by canon law, especially in those dark times.”
"It seems that we have really met someone extraordinary this time," Chenran's eyes suddenly became clear in the dark night, "Mr. Hao"
"Crack, crackle."
The fire in front of me is burning.
Under the firelight, there was a strong body, but at this moment, the body was tightly curled up, showing a rare helplessness.
Liang Long squatted alone in the empty hall on the first floor of the building, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
After separating from Jiang Cheng and the other two, she did not return to the lighthouse, but chose to stay.
Although it was dark and quiet here, far away from her companions, she felt uncomfortable as long as she thought of the old woman with a twisted face.
She was not right.
Liang Long was sure.
And if she wanted to go back, she would have to go through the dark stairs alone, and it seemed normal for something to happen there.
Thinking of this, she threw a few more firewood into the fire. Fortunately, in addition to various stone pillars and stone carvings in this hall, there were also some scattered dead branches.
Otherwise, she could only hold a torch and wait for the three to come back.
Her thoughts were instantly filled with a face, and Liang Long instinctively shuddered. It was the man named Chen Ran.
She had heard of this person a long time ago.
At first, it was from one of her former teammates.
Although the teammate left the nightmare alive that time, he went crazy after returning to the real world, and kept repeating the name Chen Ran.
Any external stimulation would cause her extreme fear. She would completely shut herself off, even curling herself up into a small ball and squeezing herself into a small space.
