Chapter 275: Hometown (8,000 Words Long Chapter)

Psychic Cat:…

In fact, not only are they scared, I am also scared.

"Then you must be well prepared. You must not..." The psychic cat said and couldn't continue. After all, it doesn't understand the specific process very well, but theoretically speaking, there is no problem with this idea.

As long as there is enough spiritual energy, you can be resurrected indefinitely.

It's just that the cost of resurrection is a bit high, and in fact, it can't explain why Ye Lan has a human form, and it doesn't know that death as a human has such a big impact on itself.

But isn't 001 the biggest exception in the world?

"Think twice, think twice! Resurrection is only based on paper data. No one knows what will happen..."

At this moment, the cat in the soul suddenly felt as if the ministers wanted to fight to the death, and the majesty suddenly decided to take charge of the expedition himself.

Panic!

Ye Lan did think twice.

"Is the danger controllable?"

The cat in the soul hesitates to speak, can I say it is uncontrollable?

"You should be fine, meow. After all, you still have plenty of strength, meow..."

"All I can say is... I don't know what will happen, meow! But remember, don't indulge in it, meow! Don't do anything except resurrect yourself, meow! I'm afraid you'll stay there forever, meow!"

Ye Lan nodded and thought twice before ending.

"I know." Ye Lan finished speaking and pressed the communicator of Yuhui Divine Sect.

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

"Qingyu, I may fake my death for a while. Can you people from the Sunset Cult in Glory City snatch my 'corpse' with a strong attitude?"

"It's just a corpse. As long as we are tough enough, Glory City won't dare to offend us over such a trivial matter." Xia Qingyu said calmly, then her whole body stiffened.

"Wait? What the hell?? Die? When will you die... No, what the hell! What's wrong with you? What are you going to do?"

She was completely stunned and spoke very fast.

"Hey, wait! If you can't stand it anymore, tell me! Where are you? Just tell me the location! Keeping you safe is what the oracle has instructed. If it comes to this, the Sunset Cult will not be as tolerant as it is now. of!"

"This plan is very effective, meow!" The psychic cat whispered with emotion beside Ye Lan: "Although Xia Qingyu himself cares about you, Yu Hui's reaction can be heard in and out of his words. . If you are in danger, they will attack with all their strength, meow!”

Ye Lan chuckled.

"You don't have to worry about me. Just make arrangements according to this idea and don't let anything slip." Yelan said, "I am on the Path of Glory now. You can inform people to start taking action."

Xia Qingyu:?

"Wait a minute! What is the operation? Corpse collection operation?"

"It's really okay, it's just part of the plan."

Xia Qingyu:? ?

After hanging up, Ye Lan looked at Bai Taotao.

"I'll give you a mission."

Bai Taotao looked solemn, as if she was assuming a great responsibility.

"Please say it! I will definitely finish it!"

"You don't need to be so serious. After you leave, you can find a way to find Xu Lezhang and hint to him to be more cautious. There may be a traitor."

traitor?

Bai Taotao was stunned.

"You mean... among the Four Dandies?"

Before Ye Lan could respond, she finally realized the most important thing that she had ignored.

"What about you?"

Click.

A dagger was placed in front of Bai Taotao, who was caught off guard. With the other hand, Ye Lan took out a loudspeaker.

"Listen up above, this is Bai Taotao, the legitimate daughter of the Bai family. If you want to kill me, you have to be taken back first, right?"

The sound spread so far away that the head of the Zhao family, who was about to press the button, changed his expression slightly.

In fact, he did not speculate that Bai Taotao was by this person's side.

But as long as she 'doesn't know', she will be killed. After all, Bai Taotao is not his daughter.

But the other party holding a loudspeaker and shouting like this means that everyone here today will know.

If this reckless and decisive blow falls into the ears of the Bai family...

His expression changed several times and he also took out a loudspeaker.

"In that case, just hand him over as quickly as possible." His voice sneered: "Are you planning to play hostage negotiation with me? The dignified envoy of the Yongye God Cult, such a big shot, also wants to use such a petty person. To survive by means?"

Survive?

Yelan chuckled lightly.

"Isn't it too much to use such a huge killer arrangement on a human being?"

After speaking, he narrowed his eyes.

The other party was indeed using a trap, so that Ye Lan could comfortably squeeze out some more information.

Why? Why?

They know that they are not actually human beings, and that they are also anomalies, that is, they are the gods of eternal night?

But if you know it, just based on this, how can you have the confidence to kill me?

"These are all comprehensive considerations."

The head of the Zhao family smiled confidently.

"The most important thing is that your record in Sewage Town was too terrible. You stirred up troubles, stirred up troubles in Sewage Town, destroyed the plans of three forces, and got everything in the end. How can I think of such a character? I dare to let you come up..."

"Is there another factor that will force this decision...?"

The head of the Zhao family smiled easily.

"The two major religious sects have become more and more dishonest recently. We all told them that we would give them a reply in a few days, but they still haven't stopped, and they have repeatedly searched here and there."

"But they are too strong, and we in Glory City dare not take action, lest we really offend them, but aren't you, Yongye, a very suitable target?"

Ye Lan was stunned, her expression getting weirder.

"The Eternal Night Cult was suddenly recognized by the two major cults at the same time, and they have a friendly relationship. They only see people but not gods. Their strength is weaker than the two major cults, and they have caused a huge turmoil in the wasteland. Killing you will not only kill you. Let you come up to stir up trouble and trouble, and you can also shake the mountain and shake the tiger, making the two major religions worry about our strength and delaying the last few days. "

"How, perfect."

Yelan's mouth opened slightly.

I thought so much and it was so complicated, and this is the result?

Just because of this?

Kill me to scare the two major religions? ?

Yelan:......

So, is this still a two-way journey between us?

I'm afraid your deterrent effect is better than you think. Kill me to deter the two major religions and prevent them from taking action at the same time? ?

"Haha...hahahaha!" Ye Lan laughed so hard that tears were about to flow out.

"It turns out that I never misjudged Glory City."

The head of the Zhao family narrowed his eyes.

“You will never be better than you when it comes to overestimating your own capabilities.”

Ye Lan really didn't want the other party to find out that she was about to burst into tears due to teasing, so she gently pushed Bai Taotao.

"Walk."

ah?

Bai Taotao remained motionless and said urgently:

"I won't leave! I almost forgot, you can use me as a hostage. As long as I'm here, they won't dare to take action!"

Yelan shook his head helplessly.

"That's wrong. Glory City is planning a great cause for the future. Let alone you, if the four major dandies gather here, there will definitely be a chance for them to get together and part ways."

"The most important thing." Ye Lan pointed to his temple: "I think there is something wrong with their brains."

I thought I was fighting you wisely in the atmosphere, but you just stood on the first level and thought of killing first as a courtesy?

Bai Taotao was about to speak but stopped.

She was also from Glory City, so why did she feel like she was being scolded too?

"I……"

"Go quickly!"

Bang!

Ye Lan pushed her and pretended to be hit and retreated.

Bai Taotao gritted her teeth and ran towards the glorious road without looking back.

The head of the Zhao family's eyes lit up.

OK! Is there such a good thing?

With a wave of his hand, dozens of prosthetic legions rushed out, 'protected' Bai Taotao, and swarmed back.

The head of the Zhao family also pressed the button in his hand at this moment.

"fire!!"

Click.

Boom!

The thick cannon barrel revealed ferocious red lines on the disc in the upper city, making a terrifying roar. The light that seemed to be able to annihilate everything just hit the path of glory.

That terrifying light was even more frightening than a nuclear explosion.

"Ouch, meow! You look so scary, meow! I'll hide from you, meow!"

boom!

The terrifying beam of light that seemed to be able to tear everything apart hit the Path of Glory and hit himself. In the biting pain, Ye Lan suddenly opened his eyes.

It was hard for him to imagine that he could open his eyes when such a bomb hit him.

I did open my eyes, but it wasn't my body.

He was floating in mid-air, and at this moment, he almost failed to recognize the world.

It has been suggested that humans can recognize more than 10 million different colors in the same scene, but if they only rely on memory to identify in different scenes, they can see 300 colors.

He didn't know how many it was, and he couldn't count it. He only felt that the world in front of him had become colorful.

It didn't seem to be a color familiar to humans, as if the world had changed into something else.

Forcibly stabilizing her cognition, Ye Lan tried her best to make everything in front of her correspond to the familiar scene, and took a look at the situation.

Where am I now?

Ye Lan lowered his head and was stunned again.

He didn't see himself as he was now.

He no longer had a body, as if he was in the air.

Air……

Among the colorful colors, Ye Lan saw his own body.

In fact, there was nothing there anymore, but Yelan's perspective seemed to be able to see things that many people couldn't see, and she was able to identify what she still had left there.

"I... am already dead."

At this moment, Ye Lan's spirit was slack, as if he had announced a fact and was about to completely dissipate and be annihilated.

"Ye Lan!!"

It was also at this moment that Ye Lan heard a familiar, crying and heartbreaking voice, belonging to Bai Taotao.

It was as if he suddenly had an anchor point and a meaning of existence, and the world in front of Ye Lan became clear again.

"I'm dead... No, I'm not dead!"

As if a fact was announced, Yelan woke up.

He lowered his head, looked at the place that was bombarded by the glorious cannon, and it was impossible for anyone to survive, stretched out his invisible hand, and frowned.

He didn't know how to 'resurrection', but he seemed to know it again in an instant.

"Gather!" Yelan tried.

And as if to announce, the place where his 'death' had been completely annihilated was slowly gathering together as if someone was waving a paintbrush on the white paper.

It was as if his body was outlined like this, and he fell to the ground on the Path of Glory.

He saw himself again.

"I am a human being."

After another self-talk that sounded like a declaration, countless thoughts flooded into Ye Lan's mind.

It seemed to be the so-called will to survive, or the seven emotions and six desires.

At this moment, Ye Lan suddenly woke up, his whole body covered with cold sweat.

What happened to me just now?

If it weren't for Bai Taotao's heart-wrenching scream, it seemed that he would really disappear from this world.

While waiting for the body to gather, Ye Lan narrowed his eyes and his heart moved.

Melt into the air?

"I'm under the Glory Road."

Whoosh!

Everything in front of him was as bright as the starry sky. In the blink of an eye, the perspective was already at the bottom of the Glory Road.

Squinting his eyes, Ye Lan's heart moved again.

"I'm in Glory Town."

Whoosh!

In the same space movement as his words, Ye Lan stopped at the edge of the Glory City wall.

He had a feeling that he couldn't step out of here anymore, otherwise he might really die.

"Can't I leave my body in this state... What am I?"

With a slight self-mockery, Ye Lan's mind moved slightly and he returned to the Path of Glory.

"I'm at the top of the Path of Glory!"

Amid the bright starry sky, Ye Lan stood at the top of the Path of Glory, watching everything that happened there like a spectator...

"Ye Lan!"

At the top of the Path of Glory, Bai Taotao burst out with all her strength, breaking through one group of prosthetic soldiers after another, looking at the Path of Glory not far away, where they had just stood side by side, and tears burst out of her eyes.

"You lied to me... You lied to me! Don't die!"

She turned her head, her eyes reflecting scarlet bloodshot, grabbed the dagger close to her, and ran towards the Patriarch of the Zhao Family with a few run-ups.

"Asshole - give him back to me!!"

With the full-strength burst, Bai Taotao became a little unstable, and her strange tentacles loomed.

"Tao Tao..."

As if she was in the void, Ye Lan narrowed her eyes, flicked out her finger, and pointed at the Patriarch of the Zhao Family.

He had a feeling that he would die if he only had one thought.

Just say it.

Death!

But suddenly, Ye Lan paused, the kitten's reminder still ringing in his ears.

"I don't know what will happen meow! But be careful not to indulge in it meow! Don't do anything except resurrect yourself meow! I'm afraid you will stay there forever meow!"

Frowning, Ye Lan turned his eyes again and saw the distant Afterglow Cult and Rotten Cult Cathedral opening the door, and countless powerful figures rushed out desperately.

Ye Lan retracted the finger pointing at the head of the Zhao family.

It's not difficult to deal with him, and there are many ways to wait for him to wake up. The two major cults acted as he expected, and Bai Taotao didn't have to worry. Now all he had to do was wait.

Wait...

Ye Lan suddenly remembered something, raised his head, and looked at the disk of light.

Then, he was really stunned.

Unlike the colorful surroundings, it was extremely terrifying there, with only a single, unique, deep and dark color.

It was like death itself, like a trembling cosmic black hole.

In an instant, Ye Lan felt a terrifying force pouring into him from everywhere, just as he was everywhere at this moment.

Boom!

All the colors between heaven and earth at this moment were like boiling water, exploding and pouring towards him.

Ye Lan could finally distinguish what those colorful and ubiquitous colors were.

That was psychic energy!

Boom!

The terrifying power gathered on him, and he met the equally terrifying dark power.

The huge impact made Ye Lan feel an endless buzzing in his head.

It was as if his consciousness was pulled, and he closed his eyes uncontrollably...

Chirp.

With a crisp cry, Ye Lan opened his eyes.

What was reflected in front of him was a pure sky that was not polluted by any color. In the sky, several birds chirped and chased and played.

Splash.

Ye Lan felt his pants were wet, and he turned his head to the side. The waves, which were bluer than the sky, brushed over his trouser legs layer by layer, as if even his heart was relieved a lot.

Not far away, seagulls were flying in groups.

So beautiful...

Ye Lan was confused.

Where is this?

Who... am I?

He stood up, only to feel a pain in his head, his expression was dazed, and he couldn't remember anything.

"I'm telling you meow! I'm going to take a nap meow, you guys work hard meow!"

Just then, Ye Lan heard a cat meowing, and what was even more outrageous was that he could actually understand what the cat was saying.

As he glanced over, a cute kitten was lying under a coconut tree, sitting on a rocking chair with its belly turned over, basking in the sun comfortably.

"You arrange a good dream for me meow! And you meow! You have to stand guard meow!"

It waved its little paws leisurely, giving orders to a little gecko and a golden revolver in front of it.

Ye Lan:? ?

"Kitten?"

Ye Lan didn't know why he called it that, but he blurted it out.

Hmm?

The Spiritual Cat was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the sea in confusion. Unknowingly, there was already a person there.

"You're back, meow!"

It jumped up happily and climbed onto Ye Lan's shoulder flexibly.

Ye Lan was lost in thought for a while, as if he had more memories of this cat.

Spiritual Cat...

"Where is this?"

The Spiritual Cat was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously.

"This is home, meow!"

Home...

"You...we've always been here?"

The psychic cat nodded:

"Yeah meow."

"Just a few of us?"

"...otherwise who else would be there?"

Yelan looked vaguely weird, and moved her fingertips from the golden revolver to the gecko.

"Why is it here?"

The psychic cat was stunned.

"Why shouldn't it be here?"

"It's not that we shouldn't be here, but..." Yelan's head started to hurt again.

"I know it right, it's... called the Eternal Nightmare, right? But I remember I have some old friends I'm more familiar with. Why aren't they here..."

"Meow, the friend I met earlier?" The spiritual cat wondered: "Who is meow?"

Yes...who is it...

Yelan felt a headache.

Why can't I remember...

Seeing Yelan swaying, the psychic cat became anxious for a while.

"Nightmare! Why don't you come over and help him to the chair, meow!"

Eternal Nightmare:?

It lowered its head and glanced at its gecko-sized body, with big questions in its mind.

I?

How can I help?

While swaying, Ye Lan felt that the light above his head was a bit dazzling.

He stretched out his hand to block the sun, looked at his white palm, and suddenly froze.

Should I bring something here...?

I should have a glove... called...

"Hand without form?"

Ye Lan was stunned and began to wonder who it was.

"And Night House...yes, why aren't they there?"

I got to know the Eternal Nightmare much later than the Night House and the Hand of No Form, and the Nightmare was very afraid of me and had been pretending to be dead. It was only recently that I discovered it.

No matter where this is, why is it here but the Hands of the Invisible and Night House are not?

And...it seems that my friends are far more than that.

"Ye Lan!!"

He suddenly heard the last heartbreaking cry in his ears.

Bai Taotao?

Who is Bai Taotao?

Who is Yelan... No, my name is Yelan!

I am 001, my world is already a wasteland, and I am now in Glory City!

Is this paradise? If so, all my friends should be there.

Ye Lan suddenly raised his head, and everything in front of him flickered and overlapped like phantoms.

On the island as beautiful as a fairy tale, a small wooden house suddenly appeared.

After glancing at the kitten, Ye Lan spoke.

"Have you lost your memory too?"

The psychic cat was stunned.

"What amnesia?"

Ye Lan didn't say anything and walked towards the cabin that looked very unusual at first glance.

At this moment, some colors that refute this beauty finally began to appear in front of me.

On the door, there are several lines of blood words carved on it.

[If life and death are separated, death cannot lead to life, and there is no exception without life. 】

[This place is called hometown, and it is closely related to you. It is an agreement you made with an equally powerful being. 】

[You are not immortal, you are just powerful enough that you can return to your hometown as a soul when seriously injured. As long as you can still remember everything from the past here, you can return to the previous world and be resurrected. 】

[Record of times - 2 times. 】

Ye Lan was stunned.

twice?

When have I been here twice?

Isn't this the first time I've died?

Feeling another sharp pain in her head, Ye Lan looked down.

[Don’t come here too often, otherwise you will eventually forget where you came from. 】

[Every time it comes, the memory will be forgotten more completely. 】

【Fear death. 】

Ye Lan was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and muttered to himself.

"Are you afraid of death? Although this may be the handwriting I left to remind myself later. But I still... learned a lesson."

He really wants to investigate where this place is, why he arrived here after his death, and who does the powerful existence refer to? Why do you forget the past when you come here? What is it like to arrive twice?

But the kitten’s words still ring in my ears.

‘Don’t do anything except resurrect yourself, meow! I'm afraid you'll stay there forever, meow! ’

Yelan couldn't be sure whether the idea of ​​staying here to investigate came from his own heart, whether it was a trap, or whether it was a step that made him unable to leave and indulge in his 'hometown'.

And as long as he returns to the real world, he will always have a way to investigate, and even the second and third sons will know something.

‘Fear death. ’

Ye Lan turned around, waved to the Soul Cat, the Eternal Nightmare and the Bell of Chaos, and showed a bright smile.

"It's time to go back to our real home."

"Back to our world!"

Crunch.

Pushing open the old wooden door, everything behind you disintegrated. In front of you is a vast starry sky.

Then, the deep blue of the eternal night covered everything in sight...

The upper part of Glory City, the Glory Road.

Snap!

Seeing the little girl from the Bai family rushing towards him like crazy, the head of the Zhao family just frowned when another figure rushed towards her at full speed, got stuck in Bai Taotao's path, and pierced her neck with a needle.

The strangeness calmed down, and there was still consciousness that passed out together.

With his last look, Bai Taotao saw someone piercing his neck with a needle.

Bai Qingshan.

Unable to hold it back any longer, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother... help me, help me avenge him, please... help me avenge him, please..."

Bai Qingshan hugged his sister, with complex emotions surging in his eyes.

Then, in an instant, he completely restrained himself, raised his head, and bowed to the head of the Zhao family.

"My little sister is ignorant and has been bewitched by traitors. I hope Uncle Zhao is rich enough not to argue with my little sister."

The head of the Zhao family narrowed his eyes, his murderous intention gradually disappeared, and he waved his hand.

"It's okay. But your sister seems to have some brain problems. I'm afraid she's suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. When she wakes up, it's best to send her to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible."

Bai Qingshan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he handed him over again.

"Thank you Uncle Zhao for your concern, I will take the first step."

After carrying Bai Taotao for a long distance, he turned back and swept away the billowing dust and smoke on the glorious road.

Everything today far exceeded his expectations.

The underground attack was completely a dragnet aimed at himself and others.

Later, the envoy of the Evernight God Sect died, and unexpectedly met his missing sister who had been worried for a long time.

And...why does my sister look like her soul has been taken away?

But it is true that that guy saved Lao Zhao at the last moment, released his sister without any use, and saved all the people he cherished...

So, he lowered his head.

"Okay, I promise you."

Bai Qingshan's figure disappeared, and the head of the Zhao family seemed to be in a good mood.

"Someone! Go to the autopsy!"

The plan was a complete success, and he almost wanted to hum a tune.

"Reporting to the head of the family, it has been confirmed that he has lost his breath, but..." The confidant hesitated a little, but still reminded: "But my subordinates always feel something is wrong. The other party's body is too well preserved."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" The head of the Zhao family smiled and stroked his beard: "Isn't that a good research material?"

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, there was sudden commotion in the upper city area.

The head of the Zhao family narrowed his eyes and turned his head.

"What happened?"

His subordinates came in a hurry to report.

"Report to the head of the family! The Sunset Sect! The Sunset Sect is rushing over, and many people are here!"

The head of the Zhao family suddenly frowned.

Afterglow?

Aren't they very quiet, huddled like turtles, coming to join in the fun?

"Pull the whole team over, be strong! Be strong! There are all kinds of rules and regulations and red tape behind them. There is no way they will attack us first! They are probably just attracted by the movement here. If you ask, tell them to clear up the traitors , strong! Do you understand?”

boom! !

There was a buzz of fighting and explosions, and within sight, the entire prosthetic legion was shattered, and the remains of severed limbs cast by machines were scattered all over the place.

The face of the head of the Zhao family changed wildly.

"Crazy! They're crazy! Are they actually coming to kill us?"

He jumped up from the chair in panic and wanted to step forward to supervise the battle, but hesitated for a while and shrank back.

"Fight! Fight! Wait, we can't fight. We can't bring those two gods here for the time being! Hold on! Hold on! Contact Sunset Cathedral immediately to ask what it means!"

One person raised his head awkwardly.

"Master! Don't you have the communicator in your hand?"

The head of the Zhao family:...

"Yes, yes, but who did I give that thing to? Yes, City Master Xu! Give it to City Master Xu, and I will contact him immediately!"

There was a burst of hurried communication, and the head of the Zhao family let out a deafening roar.

"What? You threw that thing to Xu Shuangnian? Then where is Xu Shuangnian now?"

Old City Lord Xu:...

"Male and female evil spirits? Where are his male and female evil spirits? Communicator! I need a communicator now!"

Ta-ta-ta!

In front of him, there was another commotion.

"It's not good! It's not good!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong!"

What he fears most now is that he will have too much conflict with the two major divine religions, and as a result, he will attract 002 and 003, who have not been born for many years, and plan to destroy them.

But this is...what's wrong!

"It's Rotten! The entire army of the church in Rotten Uptown has attacked, breaking through our blockade troops from the other side and coming this way!"

The head of the Zhao family:...

Cold sweat rolled down his face.

Yes, it's time for me to sweat, but I shouldn't sweat so much...

No...it's so hot. Why is it so hot all of a sudden? Besides, I have already had a prosthetic implant, which is too...

His head shot up.

Above his head was a huge sun, bigger than any sun he had ever seen before.

It is still far away in the horizon, but the blazing light makes the disk of glory converge everything in the shadow, as if the tentacle blade just now never existed.

The head of the Zhao family was stunned, looking up at the sun, as if he could no longer feel the light and almost blinded his eyes.

"Lie... noisy..."

After decades, the pure setting sun once again cast its sights on Glory City.

[Glory City—Xiacheng District Chapter, Ended]
