Chapter 181 The Battlefield
Near noon.
Flames are raging and the historic country house is being reduced to ashes.
Lu Li stood by the greenhouse and lit a cigarette. After looking at it for a while, he turned and walked towards the parking lot.
Looking at his back, Darlene's eyes flashed with hesitation. In fact, this female editor has extremely complicated feelings towards Lu Li and everything she is facing.
At first, in order to hype the disappearance of the horror master Kane, the publishing house specially sent her to accompany the investigator Sam to find him.
I originally thought that this matter would come back in vain. At that time, through some processing and packaging, I will use Sam's mouth to add some suspense to the final work of the "Hobbes Terminal" series and improve the novel. sales.
In the end, who knew that such a terrifying small town really existed in the world!
What happened to this world?
The female editor was distressed and regretful for this, but because of Lu Li's appearance, her mentality changed a little bit.
He was the most reliable person she had ever met in her life. Although she had a bad personality, she gave her a slap without hesitation when she played a petty temper, but when faced with the terrifying creatures that devoured human flesh and blood, she did not hesitate to slap her. Never lacking in courage, turned into a werewolf...
In such a comparison, the ex-partner Sam Neal who suddenly abandoned himself and disappeared mysteriously seemed so despicable and unbearable.
Of course, Lu Li didn't know that this female editor was addicted to her own world and couldn't extricate herself.
At this moment, there is only one thought in his mind:
Luo Xia disappeared, and disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace of breath outside the car.
For a moment of contemplation.
Lu Li stamped out the cigarette butt, turned to look at Darlene, who was hiding his thoughts, and asked, "Does the book mention the mysterious disappearance of human beings?"
"have."
The female editor who was acting as a tool person walked over quickly, and said while recalling:
"The weirdness broke free from the depths of the church and landed in the small town. The children disappeared one by one, and then the adults."
After speaking, she sat in the passenger seat and waited for Lu Li to start the Viper sports car.
children - adults
This order is a bit like a beast hunting for prey. It develops slowly by catching small prey in its infancy, and then begins to criss-cross the hunting grounds in adulthood.
In the same way, from the small town to the earth, and then to the entire universe, the evil god spreads fear and continuously expands the scope of the hunting ground to absorb strength and break free from the seal.
As his thoughts diverged, Lu Li thought of many possibilities, perhaps, as Kane once said to Darlene: everything is not fiction.
This spokesperson of the evil god blurred the boundary between reality and illusion. When he couldn't distinguish the boundary between the two, he would become a doll at his mercy.
So, Darlene can't be trusted!
The most brilliant deception is to deceive yourself. Maybe when Kane needs her, she will become what the other party wants.
The engine roared.
This is the end of the matter, there is no reason to delay. In the last world, Duke taught Lu Li a truth: hesitation will lead to defeat, and decisiveness does not necessarily mean giving in vain.
Kane, is this scene in what you call the ending?
Looking at the receding trees all around, and the black-roofed church getting closer and closer in sight.
Lu Li lit a cigarette, and with a faint excitement, he stepped on the accelerator, and Darlene, who was sitting in the co-pilot, slammed into the seat. The strong pushing back made her feel uncomfortable.
Before that, the person who suffered this pain was Luo Xia, a rich second generation who had high hopes.
The effort of a cigarette.
The brakes sounded!
Special tires leave an indelible mark on the turf.
The last stop, here we come!
Staring at the Byzantine church in front of her, Darlene, who couldn't find anything to say along the way, finally made up her mind. She grabbed Lu Li who was about to open the car door, and said falteringly, "Let's leave while we still have the chance."
"Here are the car keys, there is gasoline in the front trunk, let's go."
Lu Li didn't want to waste time, so he tossed the key and left.
He had to pass this hurdle in front of him.
Involuntarily, he clenched the sword crutch with his right hand.
Even in this world, the sword of Sadhu's demon-destroying properties are useless, but it is still indestructible. At the same time, it also entrusts the persistent will of Abraham, a hundred-year-old demon hunter.
At this moment, Lu Li was facing the door of the church.
It is very similar to a miniature castle, with simple decoration, except for the colored paintings of Jesus and disciples, and some mythological illustrations, few paints are used, showing the simple gray and white color of bricks and stones.
"Originally, it was an ordinary stone church, and in 1788, it was located here."
Out of some thoughts unknown to outsiders, Darlene temporarily suppressed her fear and chose to stay.
And her voice came from behind.
"One night, darkness swallowed this ancient sanctuary, and finally our hearts."
"Today, there are no traces of the past."
"Only the pattern of the Lord and the Savior is still inlaid in front of the door."
Another Kane novel!
It seems to be everywhere, and through the female editor's mouth, it conveys to Lu Li a will of "everything is under our control".
On purpose?
Unintentional move?
Suspicion and irritability, churning in my heart.
Just when Lu Li was about to express his dissatisfaction, Darlene's next words made him unable to do so.
"Some people still believe that the sanctity of the old church still exists somewhere, trapped in this evil building."
Someone, you mean yourself and Investigator Sam?
Does the so-called external force that can be used really exist?
In addition, these words come from the novel of Kane, the spokesperson of the evil god. It is extremely scary to think about it!
The long-lost sense of fear struck.
One step closer to sinking.
Almost subconsciously, Lu Li restrained his mind, forced himself not to think too much, moved his eyes to the surroundings, and observed carefully.
Perhaps out of good intentions, or something else, Darlene is still reminding:
"The creatures that live here are extremely cruel."
"They are a shame to time."
"History is shaken by their brutality."
Immediately afterwards, a group of children appeared, laughing, with blood dripping from the corner of their mouths, running through the nearby weeds, chasing a pet dog.
At this moment, Darlene stopped talking and patted Lu Li's shoulder, as if asking: Did you see this time?
That's right, this group of children had once appeared on the streets of the town, and at that time, only Rorschach and Darlene saw them.
"I heard some voices vaguely."
"It seems that I have also been eroded."
Frankly speaking, at a certain moment, Lu Li also had the urge to hack the opponent to death, thinking: Without her, the fear might not have come so quickly.
However, the experience of constantly going back and forth at night, his conscience in dealing with the world, and various uncertain factors made him dispel the idea of benefiting from all the harm.
"Don't follow me anymore, it's best to leave here, this is the last chance."
After saying that, Lu Li walked straight towards the gate, not caring about the affairs behind him.
After all, one bang, then decline, three exhaustion.
The decisive battle is imminent.
How can there be any reason to be timid before a fight and break your heart?
