The quill was stained with ink, and the tip of the pen fell on the white paper, writing elegant handwriting. The hand of the writer was too big, and he spent a lot of effort to hold the pen well. He wrote very slowly, very slowly.
[After completing the tour of the Charming Mist State, the sword bearer learned about the changes in the Blade Rain State from the red governor Prince. They decided to go to the Blade Rain State to investigate, because that was their scheduled next stop, and this was a reasonable development.
On the other hand, the ranger Servais, guided by intuition, also came here. The climate in the Blade Rain State always made her back feel stinging, and this time the pain was particularly intense.
It was getting late and they should have rested first. But after entering the Blade Rain State, a series of unexpected events left them unable to spare any effort. The atmosphere was too oppressive compared to previous states, making some members feel uncomfortable.
The rain kept falling. 】
·
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Weatherlight sailed through the dividing line between the Charming Mist State and the Blade Rain State. The group of people only stayed in the fog for less than a day, which made Wawu feel a pity for remembering the charming fog.
"We have to go to town tonight!" Rei Shigure shouted at the top of his voice, "I will never camp in this weather!"
"There is no town!" Gongsun Ce responded loudly, "There is no small gathering place in this ghost place, we must go to the city!"
The dark clouds were as thick as floating steel, the earth had already turned into a murky puddle, and the pouring rain was like the sad cry of the gods in the sky. Every raindrop is as sharp as a knife, cutting everything on the ground into horrible shapes. Gongsun Ce added a layer of white matter shed on the roof of Weatherlight, otherwise they would not be able to drive at all. The sound of rain hitting the ceiling was so distracting that they had to speak loudly or else they couldn't hear each other.
"It's so noisy!" Rei Shigure shouted.
Gongsun Ce had an idea and used white matter to write a series of silent notes outside the car. In an instant, the world became quiet, and everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Qianbai stretched out his hand out of the window and watched the raindrops rolling in his palm.
"This place is not suitable for human habitation, and ordinary people cannot live under the rain of blades."
"I searched and found that the locals are quite creative..." Qiluo quickly scanned the tablet, "The wiki shows that the locals use rainwater to build a 'water shield' outside the city. Once the rain falls, it will It will be integrated into the artificial water cycle. Looking at the pictures, the cities here are as beautiful as underwater cities, and their sky is a crystal clear water film."
"What's the principle of this? Won't the water film be punctured by the rain knife?" Shigure Rei said.
"No, because once the rain 'falls', it is no longer rain." Dawn Knight answered, "Observe carefully, you can find that the rainwater flowing on the ground is not physically lethal. This is how the locals survive. The foundation. And before the water shield technology, the locals lived underground."
"Isn't the local ancestor suffered some kind of persecution back then? I would rather be thinking wildly in the fog than struggling to survive under the rain of blades." Gongsun Ce guessed.
"It is reasonable to speculate that relevant research shows that the local ancestors were persecuted and expelled during political struggles. This place was a place of suffering for sinners more than a thousand years ago."
The popular science about Blade Rain State made the gloomy atmosphere in the car even thicker. Qiluo tried to change the radio station, hoping to listen to a song to soothe the atmosphere. Perhaps because of poor signal quality in the wilderness, intermittent noises always came out of the speakers, and the host's baritone sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
"Rain...soaked in dreams...blood...moon...childhood...nightmare...never tomorrow..."
Rei Shigure made a loud "tsk" sound: "Please turn it off, thank you."
The Dawn Knight turned off the radio, and Gongsun Ce made a particularly constructive suggestion.
"In my opinion, driving in this poor place is not a pleasant thing. I just carry the car and fly to the capital to stay and then investigate slowly. What do you think?"
All members unanimously agreed to this suggestion, so Gongsun Ce directly used his telekinesis to lift the Weatherlight, speeding through the rain and wind, and flew to a distant city.
They left, and the world was invaded by the sound of rain again. Not long after, a rain boot stepped onto the muddy ground, and a tall black figure stood in the rain, looking at the direction of the vehicle and whispering.
"Rain soaks dreams, blood taints the bright moon, we no longer have childhood. Nightmares connect you and me, and there will never be a tomorrow in the rain. There will never be a tomorrow."

Water Shield City, the capital of Blade Rain State, is a very beautiful city. The water shield that protects the town looks like a blue crystal ball from a distance. The ingenious local people made corals, swimming fish, etc. inside the water shield. Sculptures in the shape of whales and other shapes make residents feel like they are living under the sea. This inherently melancholy city is the hometown of many great writers. Today, there are still many people who stand on the edge of the city watching the rain and write their works amidst the sound of rain.
——The above is excerpted from the information Qiluo searched, and the reality witnessed by everyone is very different from the description on the Internet. Water Shield City is so dilapidated that there are not even many lights visible on the streets at night. The aerial water shield, which is said to be able to perfectly protect against blade rain, is riddled with holes. The blade-like raindrops cut through telephone poles, bus stop signs and residential buildings. Let the city look like the ruins after the war.
It took Gongsun Ce nearly ten minutes to find the first living person. If this person wasn't wearing a bloated protective suit and had just emerged from the ground, he would have thought that the person was a zombie in a doomsday movie.
"The blood of a saint!" A man exclaimed from inside the protective suit, "Don't wear protective clothing?! Are you crazy?!"
"We are self-driving tourists. It took us a while to get here and we don't know much about the local conditions." Gongsun Ce said.
The man in protective clothing stared fixedly at the convertible, as if he was seeing a giant dragon descending.
"I must be too tired." The man said, "No matter how you got here, go underground first. The ground is too dangerous now."
He led Weatherlight to the dedicated entrance for vehicles. The appearance of the facility looked very much like an Imperial subway station. They took the elevator all the way down, and when the warehouse door opened, an underground city was revealed in front of everyone. Colorful neon lights illuminate the dark space, colorful advertisements, videos and holographic projections fill the surface of the building, and people's prosthetic bodies shine under the light.
The man took off his astronaut-like helmet, revealing a tired face. He had bags under his eyes and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
"Molton Lee, a grassroots police officer. I sincerely suggest that you-no matter why you are here-grab tickets for the safest subway and leave quickly."
"Thanks for the suggestion. We are here because of work." Gongsun Ce shook hands with him and said, "Can I call you Officer Li?"
"My dad is from the Empire, of course." Officer Li replied in the accented Imperial dialect, "As you can see at a glance, there is a big problem with the climate. The rain is not only violent and irregular, but also changes drastically. The protection of the water shield cannot hold up. There is no room for people to live on the ground. Now more than 90% of the residents have taken shelter underground, and the remaining 10% are unwilling to retreat above and wait to die. They are really crazy."
"Hey, you're still unwilling to take refuge after this? What if you get stabbed to death by raindrops?" Shigurei said in surprise.
"People don't want to leave but can't be forced. What can we do? We policemen are miserable. Wear protective clothing and go up and talk to the dead guys. Grandpa and grandma, how about you cooperate and work to take shelter from the rain? It's going to be a death day." Officer Li sighed.
“The church didn’t help?”
"The church itself is very busy, and it is also helping the police... All the fellows, please listen to me, it's best to leave as soon as possible."
After leading the way, Officer Li had to go back up to do some ideological work. When he said goodbye, Gongsun Ce took out a can of pineapple beer from the trunk and gave it to him, which surprised the middle-aged man.
"I haven't had this brand in years," the police officer said. "The last time I drank it was when my dad and I were visiting relatives."
Alandia drove towards the largest church in the city (St. Bayonet Cathedral). The dark clouds and blade rain above could not be seen in the underground city, and the sound insulation equipment also blocked out the sound of water, but everyone still felt the vague sound of rain ringing in their ears, which was annoying. Shigurei, who was idle and bored, observed the behavior of people on the roadside. She saw numbness, irritability and confusion.
"The atmosphere is very bad, their faces are covered with a layer of dust." She commented, "I can assure you that there are many impulsive crimes in the underground city, and there must be doomsday propagandists and cult lunatics."
"How do you know?" Qiluo said curiously.
"I've seen a lot when I was a hunter." Rei Shigure sneered. The short arrow on her waist suddenly disappeared. Across the street, a man in a hoodie pulled out a gun and was about to shout something, when the gun was nailed to the ground by the short arrow. He stared at the gun fragments for a long time, then let out a crazy roar and banged his head against the wall.
Gongsun Ce knocked the man unconscious with telekinesis and commented: "The situation is not good. People's emotions are easily affected by the outside world. The underground is a depressing environment, and coupled with the rain of blades that broke the safe zone of the water shield, It’s hard to think of anything going wrong.”
"Gongsun Ce, according to your theory, isn't the City of the Sky more deadly?" Qiluo said, "We have rampage accidents and superpower riots every three days...well, it is indeed more deadly."
"So Sky City is the worst city in the world. As senior citizens, the fact that you can look at the current situation without changing your mind and still have the heart to laugh is the best proof." Alandia said, "We are here."
The appearance of St. Bayonet Cathedral is like the lower half of an hourglass, like an upright drop of water. Gongsun Ce learned from the sign at the entrance that the church has an up-down structure, and there is another upside-down building on the ground.
The usually quiet and solemn church was now in an uproarious state of chaos. A large number of anxious believers gathered in the church and told the nearest clergyman their troubles.
"I can't breathe, Sister." "My son always says he has nightmares..." "The environment here will make people crazy, those projections are looking at me!" "I can't stand the underground! When is the water shield? Can we fix it?!"
Many people started crying as they talked. The young nuns and monks were so busy that they couldn't make any sense. They had to repeat over and over again that the Supreme God would bless them. "Please calm down!" There was a middle-aged priest in the crowd waving his arms, trying to maintain order. His voice was weak and his movements were as vague as those of a seriously ill patient.
"The saint told us that people should save themselves..." the priest said in a daze, "so we should... stay strong... and..." As if his soul was out of his body, the priest closed his eyes. He fell toward the crowd, eliciting a cry of terror.
Gongsun Ce quickly used telekinesis to support the unconscious priest, and Shigurei patted Qiluo on the shoulder. "Change my image for me." "Okay!"
The information manipulation ability turned Shigure Rei into a nun with a pure temperament. She appeared in the middle of the crowd in an instant, clapping loudly to attract everyone's attention.
"Look here, friends of God! The priest occasionally felt cold, but it's not serious. Please stay calm now and go home to rest."
Daffodils bloomed in the corner of the church, and the power of spirituality soothed people's tense spirits.
"It's just an occasional phenomenon that the rain is getting heavier. The bad days will definitely pass!"
Shigure Rei's voice made people nod blankly. "The nun is right..." "It will be fine..." "It will be fine." The riot that almost occurred was quelled, and the people calmed down and left the church under the guidance of the clergy. Alandia and Gongsun Ce walked to the priest and made a preliminary inspection of him.
"Ce, construct the detective's symbolic technique based on the strange script."
Gongsun Ce did as he was told, and the job was easy for him. He made a detective's magnifying glass, put on a white deerstalker hat and a windbreaker, and finally held a white pipe in his mouth.
"Is it enough?"
"A little exaggerated." Dawn Knight commented, "But enough, observation."
Gongsun Ce raised his hat and picked up the magnifying glass: "In the name of the best detective in the kingdom...as an assistant, reveal the hidden truth to me."
The simple ceremony was completed under the influence of too strong power, and the scene in the magnifying glass suddenly changed. There was a trace of scarlet mist surrounding the priest's head. Gongsun Ce took out a tiny shuriken and cut off the mist.
"There was a slight supernatural influence." Gongsun Ce said, "But the main reason is that the priest was overworked and asked him to rest first."
He used telekinesis to lift the unconscious priest and place him on a small bed in the church. The young nun who received them looked haggard and spoke in a soft voice.
"Father Andrew hasn't had a good night's sleep in three days." The little nun wiped her tears, "Holy one... when will these days end!"
Gongsun Ce showed the token given by Will and told her that he and his party were supporters sent by the church and that the abnormal climate would be resolved. Before he could even ask the agents about their investigation, his cell phone rang again. The strange yet familiar caller made Gongsun Ce suspicious.
"Hello, Miss Servais?"
"Hey handsome guy, I remember you gave me a commission to report a special situation before?" The female ranger was hesitant when speaking, "What the hell, how far are you from the Blade Rain State now?"
Gongsun Ce originally planned to find some excuse to deal with it first, but when he heard this, he immediately cheered up.
"It's very close." He said, "I heard about the strange changes here. Have you found out the source of the rain?"
"No, no. It's not just rain." Servais's reply was so bizarre that she herself didn't believe it. "I don't know how to put it in words. It's like a horror movie... Do you have any psychics there?"
