It's approaching noon.
The fire is raging and the historic country house is reducing 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 place.
Looking at his back, a flash of hesitation flashed in Darlene's eyes. In fact, this female editor had an extremely complicated mentality towards Lu Li and everything she was facing.
At first, in order to hype up the disappearance of horror master Kane, the publisher sent her to accompany investigator Sam to find him.
I thought that this matter would be in vain. At that time, through some processing and packaging, and using Sam's mouth, I would add some suspense to the final work of the Hobbs Terminal series and increase sales.
As a result, who knew that such a terrifying town actually existed in the world!
What happened to this world?
The female editor was distressed and painful about this, but due to the appearance of Lu Li, her mentality changed slightly.
He was the most reliable person she had ever seen in her life. Although he had a somewhat bad personality and would slap him without hesitation when he had a bad temper, he did not hesitate when faced with the terrifying creatures that devoured human flesh and blood. Never lacking courage, transform into a werewolf
In such a comparison, his former partner Sam Neill, who suddenly abandoned him and disappeared mysteriously, looked 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, he had only one thought in his mind:
Rorschach disappeared, and disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace of breath outside the car.
Think briefly.
Lu Li stamped out his cigarette butt, turned to look at Darlene who was hiding his thoughts, and asked, "Is there any plot about the mysterious disappearance of humans mentioned in the book?"
"have."
The female editor who acted as a tool walked over quickly, recalling and narrating:
"The strangeness broke out from the depths of the church and descended on the town. Children disappeared one by one, followed by adults."
After saying that, she sat in the passenger seat and waited for Lu Li to start the Viper.
children-adults
This sequence is a bit like the hunting of wild beasts. In the juvenile stage, it slowly develops by catching small prey, and when it reaches adulthood, it begins to roam the hunting grounds.
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 his hunting ground to draw strength and break free from the seal.
As his mind wandered, Lu Li thought of many possibilities. Perhaps, as Kane once said to Darlene: everything is not fiction.
This evil god's spokesperson blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion. When you can't tell the difference between the two, you will become a doll at your mercy.
Therefore, Darlene cannot 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 roars.
The matter has come to this, there is no reason to delay. In the previous world, Duke taught Lu Li a truth: hesitation will lead to defeat, and decisiveness may not be in vain.
Kane, does this scene appear in what you call the finale?
He looked at the receding trees all around and the black-roofed church that was getting closer and closer.
Lu Li lit a cigarette and stepped on the accelerator with a sense of faint excitement. Darlene, who was sitting in the passenger seat, bumped into the seat. The strong pushing feeling on her back made her feel uncomfortable.
Previously, the person who suffered this pain was Luo Xia, a rich second generation who had high hopes.
The effort of a cigarette.
The brakes sound!
Special tires leave an indelible mark on the turf.
The last stop is here!
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 hesitated: "Let's leave quickly while there is still a chance."
"I'll give you the car keys. There's gasoline in the trunk. You can go on your own."
Lu Li didn't want to waste time, threw the key over and left.
He had to pass this hurdle before him.
Involuntarily, he clenched the sword crutch with his right hand.
Even in this world, the demon-breaking properties of the Sword of Sadhu are in vain, but it is still indestructible. At the same time, it also entrusts the perseverance of Abraham, a hundred-year-old demon hunter.
At this moment, Lu Li was facing the church door.
It resembles a miniature castle, with simple decoration. Except for paintings of Jesus and his disciples, and some mythological illustrations, few paints are used, showing the simple gray and white color of the bricks and stones.
"Originally, this was an ordinary stone church, which was located here in 1788."
For some reason unknown to outsiders, Darlene temporarily suppressed her fear and chose to stay.
And her voice came from behind.
"One late night, darkness swallowed up this ancient sanctuary, and eventually our hearts."
“Today, there are no traces of the past.”
"Only the images of the Lord and Savior are still inlaid in front of the door."
It's Kane's again!
It seemed to be everywhere, and through the female editor's mouth, it conveyed to Lu Li a will that everything was under our control.
Did it happen on purpose?
An unintentional move?
Suspicion and irritability swirled in my heart.
Just when Lu Li was about to express his dissatisfaction, what Darlene said next made him unable to do so.
"Some people still believe that the holiness of the old church still exists somewhere, trapped in this evil building."
Some people, referring to myself and Investigator Sam?
Do the so-called external forces that can be relied upon really exist?
In addition, these words came from Kane, the spokesman of the evil god, which is terrifying to think about!
The long-lost fear came over me.
One step closer to sinking.
Almost subconsciously, Lu Li gathered his thoughts, forced himself not to think too much, and moved his gaze around to observe carefully.
Perhaps out of good intentions or something else, Darlene still reminded:
"The creatures that live here are extremely ferocious."
"Their existence puts time to shame."
"History is shocked by their brutality."
Immediately afterwards, a group of children appeared. They were laughing, with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, and ran through the weeds nearby, chasing a pet dog.
At this moment, Darlene stopped talking and patted Lu Li on the shoulder, as if asking: Did you see it this time?
Yes, these children once appeared on the streets of the town, and at that time, only Rorschach and Darlene saw them.
"Some sounds were vaguely heard."
"It seems that I have also been eroded."
Frankly speaking, at a certain moment, Lu Li also had the urge to hack the other person to death, thinking: Without her, fear might not come so quickly.
However, the constant rewinding experience at night, his conscience in dealing with the world, and various uncertain factors made him give up the idea of doing all the harm and finding one benefit.
"Stop following me. It's best to leave now. This is your last chance."
After saying this, Lu Li walked straight towards the door, no longer caring about what was happening behind him.
After all, if you make great efforts at once, you will be exhausted again and again.
The decisive battle is imminent.
How can there be any reason to be timid before fighting and lose your temper?
