Chapter 18: The Call
…
"Whoa!"
The withered arm suddenly reached out of the ground, and it waved its teeth and claws in the air for a while, and then pushed it to the ground, and the living dead with red eyes crawled out of the earth.
He staggered to his feet, let out a strange scream, and staggered out of the alley.
"Hula-"
A little girl with a cat on her head and silver hair rushed into the alley, and the living dead screamed and pounced on her.
"Bang ——!"
The moment the two met, the girl threw a quick punch at his head, and he was immediately smashed to the side of the alley like garbage, and fell to the ground without a sound.
The girl didn't even look at the corpse she had smashed away, and her speed did not slow down at all, and she rushed through the alley like the wind and flashed into a ruined cemetery.
The black earth was covered with white flowers, which surrounded the tomb in the middle like knights guarding the monarch.
The enclosure that should have existed behind the tombstone has disappeared at this time. A pitch-black corridor was placed in the center, replacing the position of the sealed soil, and a breathing aura spread out from inside.
"This is it..."
Entering the cemetery, Lilian carefully examined the surroundings and immediately found a corridor surrounded by white flowers.
Moving the lotus step lightly, she walked to the side of the road, and looked carefully inside, the dark and cold, with the rotten yin wind blowing in her face, and the girl's silver hair was also blown up.
"Lily, do we have to go? It doesn't feel very good inside..."The black cat changed his previous lazy tone and reminded solemnly.
Reaching out to touch the black cat, Lilian nodded affirmatively, and said seriously:
"That's right, it didn't feel clear just now, but now, I can already be sure that there is something that belongs to me down here, calling for me."
"Hmm~, well, Luna will always be with you!"
Hearing Luna's encouragement, Lillian smiled with relief, tapped her toes on the ground, and disappeared into the hallway.
…
As soon as they found out that Lilian was missing, Reece and the others immediately searched for her. But after searching the entire highlands, there was no trace of her.
"Oh no, Miss Illya will not fall into the pile of the living dead behind, it's all my fault, patronizing and escaping..."
Emily was worried and blamed herself, and she had a good conversation with Lillian, thinking that she was a good friend. Suddenly she can't find a friend, which makes Emily very uncomfortable.
Reece touched his chin, thought for a while and comforted: "Emily, you don't have to worry about her, let's not talk about where Miss Elijah is, first of all, her strong strength is undoubted, so if she wants to come here, there is no reason why she hasn't appeared until now." I guess she left on her own. ”
"Well, yes, instead of worrying about her, let's think about where we're going next; It's not a way to stay stuck here all the time. Alice nodded in agreement.
Indeed, with a strong strength there, she should be fine, and by now, everyone is just surprised that she didn't say goodbye.
"Hmm... That's all there is to it, the gods are above, and I hope that Illya is safe. ”
The kind elf girl blessed her, although the blessed person may not need the blessing of the gods...
…
In the long and dark corridor, red fireballs floated out from the corner and quickly swept over the corridor; The petite Lillian followed, speeding down the stone staircase.
"Isn't this magic very smooth, why didn't I know anything when I first saw you?"
Looking at the fireball controlled by Luna and acting as a light source, Lillian recalled the situation when she summoned the black cat, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook and smile nostalgically.
Luna, who was complained, rubbed her master's head unhappily, and said a little embarrassed: "What~ Lily, why do you keep exposing my shortcomings, that time was an accident." I'm a cat demon Lord Luna, how can I not use spells! ”
"Huh, stinky cats are also shy? Heh~"
Lilian smiled teasingly, and was about to complain a few words, but found that her vision instantly widened.
"Hah, it's finally come to an end."
In the open underground cavern, the ancient buildings built on high platforms are magnificent, and the fluctuations from time to time diffuse from this abrupt building.
With a slight leap, her light body jumped onto the high platform, and around the haphazard miscellaneous objects, Lillian came to the tall stone gate.
"Well, it's right behind this door, let's see, what the hell is calling me..."
After closing her eyes and confirming the fluctuation again, Lillian attached her hands to the intricate pattern and pushed hard,
"Huzz-"
The stone door several people tall made a muffled sound, accompanied by the shaking dust, and slowly opened under the impetus of the white arm. A few rays of light pierced through the thick smoke and dust and hit Lilian's face, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
"Ahem~"
"Meow~ a lot of soil..."
With a wave of her arm, Lillian swept away the dust in front of her, and then opened her eyes and looked inside the door, the empty hall like an auditorium, which immediately appeared in front of her.
The stone floor, which is arranged in a neat row, spreads from the foot to the hall, and the columns supporting the dome are covered with exquisite reliefs, and the dragon-shaped totem is carved into the ceiling.
The hollow disc like a bell dial was set on the opposite wall, and a soft white light shone through the cracks in the giant disk, which was the light that had been felt before.
"Wow, that's beautiful, it's a true reflection of grandeur and opulence."
Seeing the delicate architecture, Lillian sighed and looked for something that called her.
The smoke and dust brought up by the stone gate finally dissipated, and the ground in the distance gradually emerged from the mist.
In the center of the empty hall sat a beautifully crafted wooden high-backed chair, on which a slender figure in a black suit and holding a long sword leaned diagonally. A small tricorne hat was worn on the figure's head, and with the lowered head, it covered the other person's face. An oval-shaped moon-white gemstone hangs around the neck, and a solemn and mysterious feeling comes to the face.
Lillian cautiously walked into the hall and walked slowly towards the figure. It wasn't until she walked up to the figure that she breathed a sigh of relief.
The figure sitting in the chair, without a trace of life on it, was nothing more than a lifeless corpse.
"Heh, I was actually scared by a corpse, I was really cowardly..."
Laughing to herself, Lillian reached out her right hand and grabbed the Moon White Jewel - that was the goal of her trip...
"Bang ——!"
The pale palm grabbed Lilian's arm like lightning and pulled her in front of her, and Lilian's eyes were met with a cold face that was better than snow.
"The deceased... You deserve to be in peace..."
A low and elegant voice sounded, and the woman sitting on the chair slowly opened her starry eyes and looked at Lilian coldly; It seems that the terrifying coercion that is about to devour heaven and earth has descended on this space...
