Chapter 582: The Arrival of the Blood Moon
A thick fog swept through everything.
When Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, he and Maria had reappeared on the platform by the lake, and not far behind them, Erin looked at them in surprise.
"Wait, stranger......... Why did you suddenly ......... Lady Mary?! ”
Looking at Maria beside Fang Zheng, Erin's eyes widened in surprise, although the crow mask obscured her expression, but from Erin's panicked tone, you could hear how shaken she was at the moment.
"Why are you here? What exactly is this .........?"
"Hello, Irene, long time no see........."
Hearing Irene's voice, Maria turned around and smiled at her, while Fang Zheng set his eyes on the rocking chair beside Erin. There was no longer Master William in the rocking chair, replaced by shriveled clothes and a pile of what looked like ashes.
"What's the situation?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Erin. He didn't think that it was Erin who killed Master William, after all, Erin and Master William had no grievances, and they ......... Even if you want to kill, you won't have to wait until you leave.
"I don't know."
Irene shook her head at Fangzheng's inquiry.
"Just now, Master William was fine, and then he suddenly laughed and said, 'I really didn't expect this'......... Then, his body suddenly caught fire, and then it became like this........."
"Ahh............h
However, Erin's words had just fallen, and a cry of pain suddenly appeared, interrupting Erin's speech. The three of them turned their heads and looked towards the place where the sound had come from, and saw that in the center of the lake, a huge spider was raising its body high, looking up at the night sky, and let out a human-like cry.
"Woooooooo.........oo Woowoo woo ........."
The cry sounded creepy, but you could feel the sadness and pain in the spider's heart. Then the three of them saw the spider turn its head and glance in the direction where they were, and then flames appeared from the spider's body, and in the blink of an eye, the spider disappeared from everyone's eyes, and disappeared without a trace.
Then, a bright red glow slowly emerged.
A huge blood moon silently descended from the dark clouds, and at the same time, the cry of a baby could be faintly heard in everyone's ears.
"Wow......... Wow........."
“……… Did you hear that? ”
Maria frowned, looking at the two of them uneasily, and Erin nodded.
"I hear, Madam Mary, it's like a baby's cry......... What about you? ”
“……………”
However, Fang Zheng didn't answer Erin's inquiry, he just narrowed his eyes and stared at the huge red blood moon in front of him. Fang Zheng hadn't felt it before, but just now, when the spider was engulfed in flames, Fang Zheng felt the power that originally belonged to the spider, as if it was attracted by some kind of attraction, and then it was swallowed by another being.
And now it looks ......... He seems to have finally found the culprit of this nightmare.
"I see.........
After muttering something to himself, Fang Zheng turned around.
"Let's go back to church first."
On the way back to church, Erin couldn't resist her curiosity and grabbed Mary and asked questions. After all, the fact that all the main hunters of the church disappeared overnight had too great an impact, and it was almost nerve-wracking for the church. Not to mention that there are also beings like Mary who have a high reputation in the healing church, which is another reason why the church collapsed in the later period, because those who are old and powerful are either dead, missing, or quitting. I can't even find one covering the field.
It's as if the current acting archbishop of the Healing Church is actually Amelia, Lawrence's handmaiden......... This shows how short the church was at that time.
Maria's return obviously made Erin quite excited, and Fang Zheng could even feel that she seemed to have put down some kind of burden, although it was not good to say that, but in Erin's eyes, maybe the sky was falling and Maria was on top, and she didn't have to worry about those troublesome things anymore.
In the face of Irene's warm words, Maria had a complicated expression. Because in the dream just now, she had already learned the history and truth about this world, and if everything that the stranger said was true, then everything that the healing church did could only be described as "stupid".
Humans are born in the abyss, leaving the abyss because of the desire for fire, but they actively seek to return.........
But now.........
Thinking of this, Maria also had mixed feelings, she once thought that her life would only be able to spend her life in that endless cycle of nightmares. Even Maria thought about committing suicide, but she didn't expect that she would be able to escape that nightmare one day. Although the real world she is currently in is not real, it is enough for Maria to leave the nightmare that has bound her for countless years.
What should they do after this nightmare?
Maria couldn't help but think about this question, but she couldn't get an answer. She had spent her entire life hunting, and the people Maria knew were now either dead or missing. It is not known how many people are alive in the entire town of Yanan......... When this nightmare is over, what will be left?
When Fang Zheng returned to the church with Maria and Erin, he found that the situation here did not seem to have changed. Oriana curled up in her chair in agony, as if she had no strength, while Miss Sophie remained motionless, as if the effects of the sedative were still working.
Seeing Fang Zheng and the others coming back, the little girl screamed happily, and then ran over to pounce on Fang Zheng.
"It's great you're okay!"
"I'm fine."
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Fang Zheng reached out and touched her head. At the same time, Dr. Yusefka also walked over, first nodding at Fangzheng, and then looking at Erin, but Yusefka couldn't hide her shock when she saw Maria behind Erin.
"Lady Mary? You're alive? ”
"Yes, Yusefka, it's a pleasure to see you here."
At the sight of Yusefka, Maria's expression relaxed a lot. Although time flies, and the woman in front of her is much older than Yusevka in Maria's memory, in any case, it is still full of comfort for Maria to see the people she knows and is familiar with here.
"I saw the blood moon rise......... What do we do next? ”
After greeting Maria, Yusefka looked at Fang Zheng uneasily. She didn't know exactly what Fang Zheng had done, but it was clear that the Blood Moon had risen, marking the official end of the long night of hunting. But this obviously does not mean that everyone is safe, on the contrary, it seems that they are more dangerous than they were on the night of the hunt.
"I've found a way out of here."
But in the next moment, what Fang Zheng said made everyone feel refreshed.
"Really? Big brother? ”
"Is it true??"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Erin and the little girl couldn't help but hurriedly ask, and Fang Zheng also nodded.
"Yes, there are some coincidences, but I already know what this nightmare that can never be stopped........."
"Is there anything we need to do?"
"No, you don't."
In response to Maria's inquiry, Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"The abyss is very dangerous, I don't recommend you to face it, without any preparation, you are easily polluted and bewitched by the abyss, this time I only need to go alone. You'll need to stay and guard the church, although I don't think there's anything wrong with it......... But, who knows. ”
"That's right."
Hearing Fangzheng's suggestion, Maria nodded. After learning about Fang Zheng's true identity and the history of this world, she naturally made a wise choice. Although it is said that if she can, Maria also hopes to be able to face all this with Fangzheng. But......... She now has a new mission.
"I'll leave it to you, then, Lady Maria."
Looking at Maria in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, and then he closed his eyes.
The next moment, Fang Zheng entered the dream again.
