A new city was built far away from the ruins of the Cross City.
Originally it was just a small town. After the destruction of Cross City, it inherited the important hub role of this ancient trade route and became a stopping place for passing caravans.
As more and more people gathered, it turned into a city.
This newly built inland city did not build a city wall. At first glance, there are layers of various buildings. Standing on the ground, you can feel the prosperity of the city.
Although it was not built for long, it already has the status of a big city.
As in.
The former Cross City.
The tall Magic Wheel House passed by outside the city, attracting many people to watch from a distance.
The magic wheel kept turning and pushing the house-like giant forward, raising wisps of dust and smoke on the road.
The Magic Wheel House is much larger than before. Vivien made many modifications to it after becoming a priest, and also developed many magical techniques to cooperate with the Magic Wheel House.
Many people in the city ran out of the streets, or looked at the passing miracles on rooftops and windows.
"Look what that is?" The people in the new city looked up and pointed at the giant figure on the road in the distance.
"They are from the Demon Hunting Group." Some people recognized the logo printed on the Magic Wheel House and immediately showed uneasy expressions. Although the people from the Demon Hunting Group were protecting them, disasters would happen wherever they passed. land, this also makes ordinary people change their color when they hear about them.
"Wow!" The boys and girls in the city didn't think so much. They were stunned when they looked at the miraculous creation.
"It's amazing. The power of the priest is really too powerful." In a world with extraordinary power, the biggest dream of young people is to become a powerful person, and the existence of the Magic Wheel House makes them full of fantasies about the extraordinary power of the priest. .
In the magic wheel house.
Sister Vivien was sitting in front of the window looking at a long scroll, which collected information from all over Xiinsai.
There were people constantly going up and down the stairs in the house, some were controlling the direction and speed of the Magic Wheel House, and some were placing drinks and snacks in front of Sister Vivien.
But Vivien was not in the mood to eat, her face was worried.
Anli ate happily, as the shadow brought to her by the little man in the bottle went as quickly as it came.
Before arriving, Vivien, the leader of the Demon Hunting Group, spread the news that members of the Ghost Order would gather in Cross City, saying that it might be related to the follow-up plan for the Ghost Disaster in Cross City.
My sister Anli wiped her mouth and fingers with a napkin and asked her sister.
"Will Steen really come? Such a despicable method can be seen through at a glance!"
"This place has long been just an empty city. What are the people from the Ghost Religion doing here?"
Vivien believed that her move would definitely work.
Just like some extremely low-grade scams, people still continue to be deceived. That is because the deceived people desperately desire something or value someone.
so.
Even though he knew it might be a lie, he still wanted to gain that glimmer of hope.
The further a person falls into abyss and despair, the easier it is to be deceived.
"If he really is the one, he will come."
"Cross City is the most important place in his heart. He will never allow the people of the Ghost Religion and that evil spirit to insult and violate it again."
An Li asked curiously. She couldn't remember too many things from her childhood.
"Which person?"
Vivien looked at her sister: "The person who saved you when you were a child."
She said the name silently, her voice filled with countless sighs.
"Lester."
"A...good man who wants to be the best doctor and wants to eliminate pain for everyone."
The ruins of the city in the distance are looming in front of you.
Most of the walls of this abandoned city were demolished, and these large stones were removed and used in the construction of other surrounding cities and towns.
However, most of the buildings in Cross City remain, as many believe the city is filled with resentment.
Local rumors say that every house here that was once occupied contains a curse, and no one dares to go inside.
It's not the first time Vivien has come here, it's just that Vivien didn't dare to come in the last time she came.
She was afraid that she would collapse immediately after seeing the miserable scene here.
But she has experienced a lot over the years, and she thinks she has grown a lot, so she comes back here again to know the truth about that year.
The Magic Wheel House stopped and Vivien walked out.
Pairs of eyes looked at him from the open door, some were worried, and some wanted to follow her in.
"I'll just go in alone, you guys just wait for me outside."
Vivien walked alone on the ruins, looking at the familiar streets and familiar houses.
At the same time, there are corresponding people emerging.
The owner of the grocery store is a madman who always miscalculates money. Local children like to steal food and some small toys in his store. Sometimes he will pretend that he has not seen anything.
The owner of the trailer repair shop, although very strict, always takes care of himself.
Although the neighbors always like to gossip, when Vivien's family is in trouble, they are the first ones to rush over to help.
Not everyone is a perfect person, but everyone in Vivien's memory has their kind side.
The more I recall, the more tears fill my eyes.
In such a city, countless people disappeared like this.
"The God of Knowledge."
"Can such a guy call himself a god?"
"What a joke."
Vivien looked up at the sky: "Real God! Why don't you do something? Why don't you impose real divine punishment on this guy who claims to be a god."
A voice came from far away, echoing in Vivien's ears through the empty streets and alleys.
"Because God has abandoned us."
"And because... God is tired of us reaching out to Him."
"He is God, the supreme Insai."
The voice had no emotion, just like the whistling wind, but it brought a slight chill to people.
It makes others feel a sad state of mind involuntarily.
"He created us, He gave us life, He gave us power."
"We begged Him to give us the power of the trolls. When we couldn't control the power of the trolls, Saint Stan Tito prayed for the power of rituals on our behalf."
Vivien immediately looked in the direction of the sound: "Who is it?"
But the voice appeared in another place, and the other person really seemed to be a wisp of wind, or an ethereal shadow.
"The desires of mortals are endless, and so is the greed of mortals."
"The evil spirit was born from the greed and desire of Anhofors. Although the royal bloodline is gone, the curse still continues."
“God is tired of our greed and our never-ending petitions.”
"He is God."
"Not a wish-granting Holy Grail for mortals."
“In praying and falling again and again, we have completely consumed the divine favor left to us by the King of Wisdom, Laderiki. We are no longer God’s eldest son, nor God’s favorite. "
Vivien looked around for the source of the sound.
Finally, she saw a figure wandering as confused as herself on the street behind her.
The other party is also looking at every building in this city. He has a deeper memory and nostalgia for this place than Vivian.
For Vivien, this is her hometown.
For the other party, this is more than just hometown.
It’s also everything to him.
All the memories and resentments he carries come from here.
Vivien called out the other party's name: "Blood Plague Stun."
As she had expected and expected, this powerful monster that could compete with Anhofors, the villain in the bottle, also appeared in the city.
The bloody cloak did not answer whether he was Steen, nor did he ask Vivien's identity. Everything seemed to be tacitly understood.
Vivien asked him: "Stuen."
"Why do you say that? God is merciful. How could God abandon us?"
Steen smiled coldly: "Haven't you heard of that rumor?
"The eternal Insai will enter his eternal sleep and pass on to the next age."
"You, the three-leaf people, and this world will all become the afterglow of the setting sun."
This was the first formal communication between Vivien and Blood Plague Steen. In the past, members of the Demon Hunting Group would occasionally run into each other, but the other party would not pay attention to them at all.
It seems that Vivien's choice of meeting the Blood Plague Steen here has indeed achieved the effect.
Vivien didn't believe it at all, but she had indeed heard this rumor before. "
"That came from the Ghost Religion. The evil demon also said that it was a god created by Yinsai. Do you believe it?"
Steen: "I believe it, because this is what the goblin said, and it is also the truth I have seen."
"Leader of the Demon Hunting Group, please wake up!"
"God will not save us because we have brought this upon ourselves."
Vivien said: "I don't believe it. I think Xiinsai will be passed on forever."
"We will become the greatest civilization and we will continue to surpass the past."
Steen smiled and looked at Vivien with cold eyes: "At the same time, are people like Anhofors constantly appearing?"
Vivien finally understood why Steen was unwilling to contact them.
He had no hope for the Trefoils.
He hates the man in the bottle, and even more hates Anhofors who created the man in the bottle.
Because the source of all this is the Sanye people's own madness and greed.
It was their own endless pursuit and exploration of power that led to the disaster.
What Vivien didn't know was that deep down in his heart, the other person still hated herself.
Because she herself was once a member of the power of Wudu.
"Don't come to me anymore, leader of the demon hunting group."
"Whatever I want to do, I can do it myself."
Steen's eyes under his hood turned away from Vivian: "I... don't need you."
The Blood Plague turned and left.
Instead of waiting for anyone from the Ghost Order, he found Vivien from the Temple Demon Hunting Group. He knew that this was just a ploy to lure him out.
But he had his own ideas and plans, and he refused to fight with the three-leaf people against Anhofors, the villain in the bottle.
Vivien was a little anxious and she chased after him.
"Stuen."
"You alone cannot deal with the evil demon. The Temple of Truth can help you. We have the same enemy. We..."
But Steen ignored her at all. He walked on the street, his figure gradually turning into a shadow.
He's leaving.
Vivien suddenly shouted a name in her anxiety.
"Lester!"
This name seemed to have magical power, which directly caused Stuen to stand still.
Steen just stood there, motionless.
After a long time, I heard the name being uttered continuously from his mouth.
"Lester?"
"Lester?"
Steen of the Blood Plague fell into confusion. He felt that a memory that he had cleaned and sealed kept emerging in his mind. It was the most painful and despairing memory.
He suddenly burst out with a roar, and his eyes glowed with blood-red light, like a monster that chooses people to eat.
"ah!"
"Lester!"
"Lester, I'm not Lester!"
"No, I'm Lester!"
"I don't!"
"I don't!"
Blood Plague Steen knelt on the ground, but his figure kept twisting.
Under the blood-colored cloak, you can see that his face is constantly changing. One moment it becomes the appearance of a god, and the next it becomes the appearance of a three-leaf man.
Vivien finally saw clearly the face belonging to the three-leaf man, the face that occasionally appeared in her memory.
"Lester!"
"It's really you."
Vivien looked at the powerful existence in front of her in disbelief and exclaimed.
It was only now that she confirmed that the legendary blood plague was the young doctor she once knew, a friend who contained enthusiasm and kindness.
Blood Plague Steen roared, as if trying to reject this name.
"No!"
"I'm Steen."
Vivien said loudly: "You are Lester."
"Remember me? I'm Vivien!"
"Our Cross City was so prosperous and lively at that time. If you look at everything here now, what is happening here?"
"tell me!"
"Lester, what happened here?"
This question was more like tearing open the most fearful scar in Steen's heart.
Blood Plague Steen ran forward as hard as he could, as if resisting the memory of those things, let alone hearing Vivien's voice.
He and Vivien chased and escaped, and unknowingly came to an empty square.
He suddenly stopped again.
Because, a stone pillar appeared in front of him.
This was a place used to judge sinners, and scenes of painful scenes immediately emerged in his memory.
"kill him!"
"Kill him to avenge the lives lost in the evil experiment."
"What are you still watching?"
"Light a fire! Burn this damn blasphemer to death."
Standing in front of the stone pillar, his hands dropped weakly.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
He finally recalled all the memories about Lester.
At the same time, a gentle voice appeared in front of him.
"Stop it!"
"Don't play with my life and let me die as a Trefoil."
He raised his head, and a familiar shadow that was seared into his soul passed by him.
He turned around, and still could only see an afterimage that passed by and disappeared in an instant.
He kept spinning around, trying to grab the other person's hand.
But he couldn't catch the shadow.
"don't want!"
"Don't leave me, don't leave me."
"do not go."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
"Forgive me, forgive me!"
Steen went crazy for a moment, and his body collapsed in an instant, turning into a mighty river of blood and collapsing.
At this time, Vivien had just caught up to the square, and the river of blood rolling down just in time drowned Vivien.
Vivien saw countless figures in the blood river, many familiar figures, all turned into horrific corpses one after another.
Those people in her memory all appeared in the blood river at this moment.
Vivien felt cold all over. She had never seen such a terrifying and cruel sight.
"This is all...what!"
Vivien felt that she was only one step away from the truth about the disaster that happened in Cross City.
She raised her head and saw the source of the blood river.
The source of everything that happened was a three-leaf man tied to a pillar.
Leicester.
Vivien moved forward along the mighty blood river. She felt that as long as she caught the figure in the blood river, she would be able to know everything that had happened.
She struggled forward, but she felt the power of the blood river constantly eroding her.
It is estimated that it will not take long for her to be assimilated and she will be turned into a corpse in the sea of blood.
"Soon!"
"Soon!"
In the thin line of life and death, she touched Lester's body.
She also saw what happened to Lester.
Turning back time, the scene returned to the Cross City before all the disasters happened.
It was a sunny day.
Statues of Leicester were erected on the streets of the city, and hundreds of people looked at him with admiration and admiration.
Some people bowed to him, while others knelt on the ground to express their gratitude to Lester.
"Holy hands."
"Holy hands."
They chanted Lester's title and worshiped him like a saint.
As the scene turned, she saw Lester's most beloved wife falling ill on the bed, and Lester was helpless.
"I have saved so many people, I can definitely save you too."
The wife smiled and said: "I believe you can do it, you are the Holy Hand Lester!"
Vivien saw Lester praying and making sacrifices to the "God of Knowledge". She saw Lester create a panacea. However, the panacea was not as powerful as Leicester imagined. It had its drawbacks. Far beyond imagination.
All the people treated by Lester became the living dead, including his wife.
Lester's statue was torn down, and patients and family members who were grateful to him in the past chased him like a street rat.
at last.
Terrifying light and thunder rushed from the ground to the sky, and the clear day instantly turned into a gray color.
Not the dimness of dusk, nor the haze of a rainy day.
More like.
The legendary purgatory.
Everything unfolded in front of Vivien.
Leicester's tragic story, and his bleak ending.
Vivien thought about many possibilities, but she didn't expect that all the stories would be like this. She wanted to yell and scold Lester, but she felt sorry for his fate and ending.
This is a sad story.
What makes people feel even more tragic is that the person who caused this ending originally had a heart to benefit everyone.
In the sea of blood, Lester's body slowly moved.
The corpse called out the name of the old friend in front of him: "Vivien!"
"That's right."
"It's my fault, I allowed that evil spirit to descend on Cross City."
"I...killed everyone."
Vivien looked at Lester with a trace of regret in her eyes.
"You are a good man."
"But... a good heart may not necessarily accomplish good things. You are too eager to become an excellent doctor, and you are too eager to cure all patients."
"It is also this hope and desire that pushes you into the abyss."
Lester smiled reluctantly: "I know, it's just that it was too late in the end."
"Vivien."
"Just leave it all to Stuen."
"It will definitely kill the evil spirit and put an end to this."
Vivien shook her head: "But, we don't have time."
"The Ghost Order is getting stronger and stronger, and the monster is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't find a way to contain it, the situation will get worse and worse."
"Lester."
"Join us."
Lester looked at Vivien: "The power of mortals is too weak. Even Stun, who has obtained the Sequence 1 life item, cannot kill that mythical monster for the time being. How can we, who are as weak as dust and insects, be able to kill that mythical monster?" what to do?"
"Just wait quietly! After darkness, dawn will eventually come."
"Stuen will eventually transform into a myth and pull the evil spirit down from the clouds."
Vivien is not a passive person who waits, she is a very persistent person.
Just like her sister back then, everyone thought her sister was hopeless, but she never gave up on her fate or defeat.
It was impossible for her to sit at home and watch her sister die quietly.
She would rather push the trailer and search for that illusory hope all over the world.
Even if what you find in the end may not be hope, but despair.
She also has to push the trailer to search.
Vivien held Lester's shoulders and said loudly.
"You can't do it for the time being, and neither can we."
"But together we can do it."
Vivien said seriously: "I will work with you to find a way to defeat that evil spirit."
"Even if he is a myth, even if he has the power of immortality."
"As long as I can knock down the evil demon who claims to be a god, I will be willing to hold it and fall into purgatory together, even if it costs my life."
Lester looked at Vivien and suddenly smiled.
"Vivien."
"You really haven't changed at all. You are just as unwilling to admit defeat as before."
Lester slowly closed his eyes and turned into a motionless corpse again.
The blood river that was originally rioting and flowing with countless corpses gradually converged and turned into a human form again.
Lester's will fades and he becomes Stun again.
But Blood Plague Steen's attitude obviously changed. He looked at Vivien for a long time, and finally knelt down on one knee and said.
"My captain, Stuen, obeys your orders."
