Chapter 1296: Walking dead
The whole Luan is like a ghost town, a ghost town that still has a vitality but is dead.
Hao Ren and his entourage marched deep along the central avenue of the city. Several pedestrians who saw along the way avoided them as if they were plagued by plague. Even if Lily went out forcibly detained two or three passers-by who could not escape, the other party also Completely immersed in the unspeakable fear and hostility, the illogical gibberish is not a rule, and no valuable information can be said, so in the end it can only be released.
Most of the people living on the roadside were there. However, whether Karasius or Hao Ren stepped on the door, the negotiations failed. The hidden behind the door was a voice of gloomy warning. These residents were not willing to open the door. Public opinion told strangers outside the door what happened here. When Caracius proposed that he could help, he was even ravaged by the vicious drive and curse of an unwarranted hostility and anger in the city.
Hao Ren can't help but miss the days when the data terminal is around: Although the goods are both broken and owed, at least its function is still very good. If you can use the life radar to detect it, maybe you can still get it from the city residents. Check out what is the reason.
The other knights and monks also spread out and went to the streets to find locals who could talk and ask. After the appointed time, everyone gathered on the avenue, and everyone could see from the disappointing face of everyone. The negotiations were not smooth.
“No one wants to talk to ‘outsiders’,” said a monk, sulking. “Even if I reveal to them the identity of a senior priest, they are like thieves.”
Another knight shook his head too: "I feel an atmosphere that turns people in the city into a serious exclusion group. They seem to regard all those who do not belong to them as threats. I don't know. How did this mentality come from?"
Karasius drew a religious symbol on his chest: "Goddess bless, is this a glorious sanctuary?"
Hao Ren turned his head and looked at the mysterious woman who never said a word from entering the city: "Hey, you always know a lot of things, so you know what is the situation now?"
He shook his head and said faintly: "Don't treat me as omniscient."
The church warriors brought by Karasius are still unable to make a breakthrough, so the investigation and negotiation are a bit deadlocked. In the case that no one can find them, they can only detect from the magic first. Getting up and down: Several monks took out the sacred objects and began to check the flow of magical power in the city. Karasius believed that in the case of such a strange urban atmosphere, most of the shadows of dark creatures could be captured. Can't start, it's better to grab a few grievances and other things to ask.
Hao Ren took advantage of this time to find a quiet place to open communication with the "outside".
Unexpectedly, the communication was established very fast, and the signal strength reached the highest value since he arrived in the world of Kolo.
"Hey, partner," the voice of the data terminal sounded in my mind. "Hey, wait... you made another ii over there? How is this signal so good?"
"I am in the sanctuary now," Hao Renfei said quickly. "The situation in the sanctuary is very wrong. It has been semi-chaotic."
"Sanctuary?" Vivienne's voice came in. "Is the place where the goddess of creation you left a miracle? Isn't it the center of the sacred power of the Kolo world, the place with the strongest order?"
"It used to be, but now there is a problem," Hao Renfei quickly weakened the light of Asoman in the sanctuary in the past few months, and finally completely extinguished the matter and told the other party, "...the light of Asoman's light is extinguished. The reason I will investigate, you don't have to worry about it. Now it's important to test whether you can deliver physical material to me. According to previous speculations from me and the data terminal, the goddess of creation is a bridge between Cologne space and external space. As the core of divine power, the sanctuary is the foundation of this bridge. It is the place where the two spaces are most closely connected. Now I can prove this with the strength of the communication signal with you: here, the connection between Colo and the external universe is very strong. Testing of the substance transfer has begun."
The sound of the data terminal sounded: "Received, this machine starts the crack generator that has just been completed. It is expected that the first round of testing will take 24 hours. However, due to the test operation, the timing of material transmission cannot be precisely controlled. And the drop point can only be guaranteed within a certain range around you."
Hao Ren nodded: "No problem, I will pay attention to observe the phenomenon here."
After the data terminal was ordered, Vivian’s voice rang again: “Right, is the big dog obedient?”
"She..." Hao Ren glanced up and saw Lily looking for a strange stone in the distance, and after keenly feeling the sight, the Huskies immediately turned their heads and smiled at it. The furry triangular ears stood in the spirit, and the tail was still squatting behind him. It was obviously in a good mood. "It’s still obedient. To be honest, a huskies that are not handy can be found back smoothly. I am quite content. Is there any herbal soup that you used to promote hair growth?"
“Shengfa soup?” Vivian was curious. “There are some, one or two herbs are not available now, but I can use magic or other potions instead. Anyway, it’s mainly my blood magic. But you have to What is this?"
"Lily's tail is bald..." Hao Ren grinned. "But wait for me to go back and don't just laugh at her, hurt my self-esteem."
"She is still self-respecting... Ok, okay, I know, you pay attention to safety, come back soon."
When the communication hangs up, Hao Ren smiles and shook his head in a silent voice, and at this moment, the afterglow of his eyes suddenly saw a shadow on the dark corner of the street.
In this city that was invaded by the dark magic, it was not uncommon to see the shaking figure, but Hao Ren immediately found that the figure not far away was somewhat different from the pedestrians he had seen before.
The figure went very slowly, not as rushing as the pedestrians I saw before, panicking and escaping, but he was not like a normal person, because he was slow-moving and his walking posture was weird.
"There is really no normal person in this place..." Hao Ren whispered a whisper, pacing his footsteps and quietly followed.
The passers-by who walked in front had no feeling of tracking after coming to themselves, but just continued to sway forward, although the steps were vain, but the distance of each step was almost the same.
Hao Ren got closer, but the other party still did not respond.
Seeing this situation, he simply leaned forward and even deliberately made the footsteps bigger.
However, the other party still has no response.
Hao Ren has come to the man who looks like an ordinary civilian. He sees the other person wearing a black short coat, his hair is dirty on the scalp. The clothes on his body are not cheap, but dirty. It seems that it has not been washed for many days. The expression on the man's face was sluggish, and he walked along a fixed route step by step. Hao Ren stood in front of him a few meters away, but he seemed to turn a blind eye.
The soul is out of the ordinary.
Hao Ren is no stranger to this situation. He has seen many similar phenomena in various mysteries and cursed places, but the key is what caused this phenomenon. This is like a man who lost his soul and those in the city who are full of guard. What is the connection between the hostile and the excluded citizens?
Others finally noticed the movement here. Lily and Caracius ran over. They saw a savage after seeing the rickety locals. Lily took Hao Ren’s sleeve: "The landlord, this What happened to people?"
“It seems that the soul is out, or the illusion,” Hao Ren whispered. “I tried it and couldn’t wake up.”
Carrasius made a decision after a brief thought: "Follow him."
A man who seems to have lost his soul walked on a groggy, cold and clear street. A group of people who were full of vigilance and murderousness followed closely behind them. Everyone lowered their voices, cautiously, and was shrouded in darkness. In this city, the atmosphere of this scene is very different.
"Where is he going?" Hao Ren whispered.
Someone in the Sanctuary Warrior knows more about Lu’an City and whispers: “It seems to be the cathedral to the city center.”
The man who lost his soul continued to walk slowly and unfortunately. Suddenly, Hao Ren saw a nearby intersection and came out with a similar figure.
"Look over there, another one!"
Lily also whispered: "The landlord, there is also here!"
As they get closer and closer to the depths of the city, one after another walking away from the streets and shadows of the streets.
At this point, the people who panic, fear, and disappeared are completely invisible. Only one zombie can be seen on the street. One body after another loses the soul and sways on the avenue, gradually forming a darkness. The flow of people is slowly moving towards the cathedral in the city center.
There is no sound.
Lily’s ears and tail suddenly became fluffy: “The landlord, so weird!”
At this moment, the shadow of the cathedral in the center of the city has appeared in the square at the end. The last light of the order radiates a faint light at the top of the church, like a candle, crumbling.
The silent crowd is still rushing forward, like a sludge, slowly but persistently wanting to engulf the last piece of pure land here. (To be continued.)
