Chapter 859 The long night, the beginning of the end

Louise looked at the floating clouds on the horizon, picked up a sandwich wrapped in oil paper, opened her mouth, and took a bite.

Huh?

Why is it starting to get dark? Isn't it noon?

Maybe she was in a daze and didn't notice the passage of time?

Louise came back to her senses and wondered if she had been in a daze for a long time and spent an entire afternoon?

But while the light was still dark, she looked around and found that people in the square were also looking around, obviously confused and flustered by the darkening sky.

She began to hear noisy murmurs, screams from the crowd, and the cries of children.

The girl stood up and wanted to run into the church, but she was bumped into by someone on the way.

She screamed and watched as the believer who came to pray passed her and ran towards the church. However, he did not run towards the temple, but towards the pillars in front of the door.

boom--

Like a crazy antelope, it bumped into a pillar, and something red and white bloomed in front of the sacred temple.

Louise got up from the ground, rubbed her ankles, and looked around blankly, as if someone was starting to go crazy.

They were tearing each other apart in the darkness, or holding their heads and screaming, and some of them put their hands to their own eye holes and gouged out their own eyes.

Those who were still normal were frightened when they saw this scene. Some ran wildly and wanted to run home, while others rushed to the church, hoping that God could tell him that he was dreaming.

Louise knew that there was another side to the world, but this was the first time she heard such whispers, which seemed to arouse the darkness in people's hearts and drive people into madness.

She frowned in pain, trying to resist the sound, and staggered towards the church. She had seen scary-looking "priests" inside the church. They must be extraordinary beings.

The darkness did not fall only in one city. The entire continent fell into complete darkness. The darkness came so suddenly and without warning.

The night watchmen from various districts of the Morning Embrace Church were dispatched urgently, but they had no idea what enemy they were facing. This was not a phenomenon created by some weird thing, and they could not trace the source.

It is even more impossible to restore the affected people to normal, because that kind of mental pollution spreads with the night and is pervasive. People with naturally strong spirits may be able to resist, while those who are more fragile will slowly collapse.

This dark night is soft, and even if those whispers are aimed at ordinary people, they cannot directly lead them into madness. However, this dark night is also long-lasting. It seems to announce the end of this era, the end that has come early.

Those night watchmen who experienced the First World War in Haibei Province realized today that the end of the era has come, just a little late.

They escaped the freezing cold of late winter, but came to an end in the desolation of late autumn.

The old gods...are coming.

…………

When darkness spreads across the land, the land of steam and machinery is still bright. Circuits convey the power of science, making light bulbs light up and dispelling the darkness.

Everything is in order, crazy people are restrained by sober people, and sent to centralized detention centers under official guidance.

Five- to six-meter-level steam armors roamed the streets, responsible for maintaining order.

On the high platform outside the institute, the president delivered an urgent speech and sent telegrams to various provinces to reassure people that they were confident they could survive this lasting darkness.

After the president encouraged the people, issued orders and made arrangements, he stepped down from the high platform and turned around with a gloomy expression on his brows.

Because what he told was a lie. With the industrial strength of the country of steam and machinery, it would indeed be much better in the dark than the backward place of Sistine.

But that is only temporary. Long-term darkness will plunge the earth into a long-lasting severe cold. People must rely on steam for heating for a long time, which consumes a lot of materials. Even if it can withstand decades, the increasingly cold weather will It will kill animals and plants, and eventually they will have no supplies to use.

People will die of hunger and cold, and there won't even be a need for weirdos or old gods to kill the living beings themselves.

The night is ruthless because it deprives the sun of its light and therefore the warmth of life.

And is the end of the era really just that simple?

The old god who represents darkness has descended. Before His true form appears in front of the world, He already dominates the world and rules the night.

Just as recorded in the Lost Notes, people will suffer in the endless night.

But what currently puzzles the president is that this situation is different from the conclusions reached by domestic archaeological researchers. How could Assacheris come to the end of this era?

………………

The Sistine Empire, the royal capital, is the only place in the empire that is as bright as day in the dark night.

Because the bright white moonlight hangs in the sky, shining brightly on the earth for hundreds of miles.

The saint of the Morning Embrace Church, Irina Oral holds the bright moon in her hand, like a savior goddess, soothing the hearts of the people.

When darkness falls in the God-forsaken land, all the cover-up and sealing of extraordinary powers are useless, and the Morning Embrace Church does not need to hide their power. What they need to do at this time is to stabilize people's faith.

The people in the royal capital knelt on the ground one after another, clasping their hands together devoutly, praying for the arrival of the Morning Embrace Goddess to dispel the darkness from the earth.

At the top of a clock tower inside the palace, the hands had just turned past 12 o'clock, as if pointing upward.

The man in a brown trench coat squatted half-crouched, standing on a high place, scanning the situation in the capital with his dazzling golden eyes. The girl stood beside her, stimulating the power of the earth.

After the incident, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi had been standing here, observing the situation, while Eriki was stealing things in the hidden basement under the clock tower.

They found important clues related to the first pope of the Morning Embrace Church. Natsumi originally volunteered for this job, but Eriki said that her ability was more suitable at the moment, and she had an excuse even if she failed, so they exchanged jobs.

But they never expected that at this time, the end of the era would come.

There are not many explorers staying in the Land Abandoned by God nowadays, but the total number of explorers in the three spaces is close to a hundred.

The explorers were crying because some people had the opportunity to leave the land abandoned by the gods before, but because of greed, they refused to return and extended their stay.

But now they sadly find that there is no way to return.

Because the damn active return requires the explorer to be out of combat.

But now that darkness has fallen, the ubiquitous whispers are judged by the space to mean that the explorers are suffering from mental pollution attacks, and that corrosive whisper cannot be blocked with abilities.

Moreover, if you use your abilities, the space will judge you to be in combat status, so it's a dead end.

They are now equivalent to being in the world AOE opened by the BOSS. They can't move or fight.

If you continue to stay in the land abandoned by the gods, you can imagine what will happen next, and there is absolutely no chance of surviving.

"Get Quickly, quick, quick"

Eriki emerged from the clock tower like a squirrel and greeted Chu Zihang and Xia Mi. As a good baby, this was her first time stealing something, and she found it quite exciting.

Suddenly, I somewhat understood how Xia Mi felt when he was a little thief wandering around the academy, and he felt inexplicably happy.

Chu Zihang raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to act in a hurry, "The night watchmen have begun to take action. The guard forces in the royal capital, except those necessary to protect the king, have also been dispersed to various places to support and deal with the crazy situation of the people. Maybe we You can dig a little more here.”

With that said, he opened the team's public channel and contacted their leader, "Brother Lu, you are not really going to be wiped out, are you?"

"It's a critical moment. We will be dead tomorrow. Peter is really forgetful. If we don't say something earlier, we are already on the way up."

Lu Chen replied in the sea, and sure enough, after Chu Zihang's analysis, he had many discussions with Peter within two months, and Chu Zihang acted as a brain guide, finally allowing the forgetful old man to find several places.

There is not only an exit in the Abyss of Nothingness, but also a special "entrance". The rules for the exit are the manifestation of the will of the crazy old god, which makes Lu Chen very embarrassed.

Because Clearapus was hacked to death by him, there will no longer be the will of the ancient god that represents madness in the world.

Fortunately, they also found the "entrance" to other places. Through the entrance, they actually entered the soul burial ground that Peter mentioned before.

What's strange is that the soul burial soil is a hidden snow area, and the upper limit of difficulty is lower than that of the Abyss of Nothingness. Lu Chen did not sense the existence of the ancient gods. There were only some wandering souls. Some of the souls became weird and had extremely powerful offensiveness.

Lu Chen led Peter and Bolton to find a way up, and at the same time eliminated the divine envoy-level weirdness in this place. Now that they had found an exit to the outside world, they took the weirdness representing the will of Hallquist, who feared the old god, and Can open the door.

However, the soul burial soil seemed to be near the center of the earth. If Lu Chen considered the safety of the mainland, he could not dig upward too violently.

He could only use his spiritual power to protect the weaker Mr. Burton, while working hard to rush upward with Peter.

"Brother Lu, please hurry up. I feel that this dark night is just the beginning. The so-called end of the era will be even more absurd than the previous two eras."

Chu Zihang reminded that with his current strength and the giant divine weapons, he could be regarded as the top powerhouse in the human camp in this world, but facing this kind of disaster at the end of the era, he had no skills at all.

If this kind of world gave him time, he might be able to conquer it slowly, but he didn't have time. Everything happened too fast. Now, perhaps only Lu Chen, whose strength is close to that of the ancient gods, can save the situation.

"I keep digging, I can't tear the continent apart."

Lu Chen said that if he worked too hard, it would cause a greater disaster.

…………

In the bustling provincial capital of the southern province of the Sistine Empire, the lights flickered, reflecting the painful shadows.

The blond boy was wearing a black trench coat, with a cowhide-wrapped dagger pinned to his waist. His arms were somewhat bulging, and the slim trench coat couldn't block them. They were obviously in the shape of arm armor.

He stood on top of the fountain in the center of the city, his blond hair dancing in the wind. The three Sin Priests surrounding him stood quietly, waiting for instructions.

Clement finally made his decision and absorbed the mysterious divine origin that had been prepared for him long ago, but he was confused and hesitant in the truth.

Because he activated the Guardian Dagger, he was a true Guardian, and he could also use the Guardian Arm Armor without any difficulty.

Using the ability of the Guardian's Dagger and the abnormal absorption ability that he himself could not understand, it only took him a month and a half to completely absorb this strange origin.

This is a very strange thing, completely inconsistent with what he has learned. Even the guardians he knows must absorb the strange origin step by step. Just like his sister, Irina should have gained strength and strength after absorbing several special levels. Only when one's spirit has stabilized to a certain extent can one begin to come into contact with the mysterious origins of the divine envoy level.

But he absorbed the strange origin of the divine envoy from the very beginning, and did not feel any discomfort, and the absorption speed was extremely fast.

Mona didn't explain the origin of this weird origin to him, but he had a feeling that it was like a weird origin tailor-made for him. It couldn't fit better. After absorbing it into his body, he couldn't even feel the ancient god. The slightest influence of will on oneself.

Today, he is no longer the weak mortal he was back then. The Archbishops of Sin must stand respectfully by his side. Except for Mona, he has no rival within the church.

When he wanted to take action, the night fell, just like what he saw in the "truth" of the eternal night that day. Everything was just as Mona said, allowing him to pull out half of the Guardian's Dagger. He took it back again.

What if...what she said...is true?

What should I do?

Clement's eyes changed, and finally he looked into the distance of the night. What he should do now was not to do that, but to reduce the casualties of the people in this area, and to kill some weird thing that woke up with the night.

"Dong dong dong——"

There was a knock on the door in his pocket. Clement took out a small palm-sized door, opened it, and heard a female voice coming from the other side.

"Clement, come back after dealing with your target. The capital is not the place you should go now. It's still early. You need time."

Mona's voice came, her voice was calm, but those who knew her well could hear a hint of fatigue.

The three Sin Archbishops standing under the fountain listened quietly without interrupting, but there was some joy in their eyes.

Eternal night has fallen, and their era will finally begin. They must explain to the world what truth is, and what is the truth that can survive the end of the era.

Clement looked at the shadow rising in the darkness in the distance, took out the guardian dagger from his waist, and said calmly: "Okay."

…………

In the soul burial soil, after Lu Chen and Peter left upwards, an inconspicuous horn knot, the soil exuding a strange and fragrant smell loosened, and a bright red hand poked out from it.

Then came the second, third, and fourth... densely packed hands protruding from the ground. What finally emerged from the ground was a whole body. It was twisted and weird. When it appeared, the soul was buried in the earth for a long time. The melodious singing suddenly stopped, and all the wandering souls were silent.

The indescribable creature opened one eye and said leisurely to himself: "I gave you a chance."
