Tick, tick, tick. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Layer after layer of rain was blown away by the strong wind, sprinkling on the dark giant city in front of Lu Le, and the city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of rain. It was late autumn, and it was dark again, and the raindrops were cool, hitting Lu Leman's wounded hand, which made him shiver, straighten his clothes, and shrink his hand into the black robe.

Bang, bang, bang.

The sound of chaotic footsteps accompanied by the sound of splashing on the water surface from far to near, Lu Le was startled, and went to the alley next to him, and the debris at the door of a person's house became Lu Le's best cover, Lu Le half-squatted in it, and looked out, a group of routs dressed in broken leather armor, armed with spears and short swords, were fleeing into the distance in a panic. Lu Le silently recalled, it seemed that there was a large library of the royal capital.

The rout had already gone away, but Lu Le didn't dare to come out, waiting silently in the night, since there were routs, presumably the group of barbarians was also not far away, and the dark alleys were safer than the wide avenues.

As expected, it didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to gradually sound, echoing in the quiet alley, Lu Le did not panic, according to his judgment, the barbarian cavalry would not rush into the alley in the middle of the night, they would only continue to pursue, defeat and disperse the resistance of the empire, and push the battle line forward without stopping.

Da-da-da-da!

The barbarian's cavalry rushed through the alley where Lu Le was hiding like a whirlwind, and there was no detachment to sweep it, which made Lu Le breathe a sigh of relief. It didn't take long for the sound of fighting in the distance, and it seemed that the barbarians had caught up with the rout, and the unformed foot soldiers met the well-trained cavalry, and the results were self-evident.

sighed deeply, mourning for the group of defeated soldiers, Lu Le is just an ordinary person in the 22nd century, there is no way to help them, he can only try to ensure that he survives as much as possible, instead of being a hero to save the innocent, he does not have this kind of power.

The shouting and killing in the distance became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared, only the sound of rain drops falling from the sky echoed in the alley, Lu Le knew that the danger had not disappeared, on the contrary, the danger was rapidly approaching - the large force of the barbarian coalition army was about to advance here, if it failed to get away in time, as long as it was entangled by the sweeping troops, there would be no chance to escape, and the sweeping teams that contacted everywhere would surround and search from several directions like a net, and all the prey would be wiped out.

Get up and walk quickly into the depths of the alley, Lu Le is still familiar with the terrain here, the other end of the alley leads to the bank of the canal, the other end of the canal is the aristocratic area, Lu Le heard that there is a small dock over there to transport high-end items for the nobles, maybe you can find a small boat to go to the royal dock.

On weekdays, the dock of the royal capital was heavily guarded, but now that the royal capital has been breached, a large number of fleeing nobles gathered at the dock, and Lu Le is confident that he will blend into the fleeing ships. The barbarians don't know the nature of the water, and if there is a chance to escape from this city, the chance on the side of the Wangdu Wharf is undoubtedly the greatest.

Tick, tick, tick.

The alley was quiet and scary, and there were no lights on weekdays, Lu Le guessed that most of the civilians here had fled, and the rest of the people did not dare to turn on the lights for fear of attracting barbarians. Under the cover of heavy rain and night, he was safe for the time being.

I hope everything goes well, Lu Le secretly prayed. Unfortunately, it backfired, and before he could take a few steps after praying, Lu Le stopped. He had a very bad premonition in his heart, because he smelled a smell of rust.

How could Lu Le, who had experienced dozens of brutal battles, not know that this was the smell of blood, and the smell was still so strong on a rainy day, and there would be no fewer than hundreds of people who died in front.

In the past, Lu Le would definitely turn around and leave without looking back, but now the army of barbarians is advancing in this direction, if he returns to the avenue, he will inevitably die, and he can only push forward head-on.

The long sword on his back had been pulled out by Lu Le, he looked around with a cautious face, and walked forward cautiously, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, but Lu Le did not see the corpse he expected, and the dark alley seemed to turn into a monster and devour the dead corpse.

The rain sprinkled on the robe, although it was wrapped in a robe, but Lu Le seemed to be wrapped in a cold wind, the whole person oozed goosebumps, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger, all of which warned Lu Le that the front would be very dangerous.

Lu Le knew that this was a bad sign, and the dozens of battles in front had already verified that this sense of crisis was very effective, at this time, he very much hoped that this keen intuition was wrong, and the front was not so dangerous. But the sense of crisis in his heart is getting worse layer after layer, and the discomfort makes him breathless.

Bang!

A flash of thunder flashed, raising Lu Le's sense of crisis to the peak, and with this white light, Lu Le saw the whole picture of the entire alley clearly, and the whole person was shocked by great fear on the spot, and it took a while to breathe.

Corpses, dense corpses nailed to the wall, all the way to the end of the alley that Lu Le couldn't see, this medieval-like alley was full of freshly dead corpses, apparently there had been a massacre not long ago, there were corpses nailed everywhere on the walls, balconies, and roofs, and blood mixed with rain water flowed onto the bluestone ground, gathering as if to dye the entire alley dark red. And he had just passed through the pile of corpses, stepping through the pool of blood that had gathered.

It's them!

Enduring the uncomfortable feeling that filled his chest, Lu Le inserted the sword back into the scabbard, regardless of the danger of being discovered, quickly walked through the night, and no longer cared whether it was exposed, once the ceremony of the group of madmen was completed, Lu Le didn't even have a chance to escape, only bet that they were not over yet, even if they were discovered, it was impossible for the group of madmen to interrupt the sacrifice and chase them.

Whether it is the Romans of the royal capital or the barbarians of the Northland who broke through the royal capital, after all, they are all believers in the goddess of the earth, and after death, they will only bury their bodies in the earth, instead of nailing the corpses in the air that cannot touch the earth. This kind of cruel death, Lu Le knew that only that group of madmen would do that. And each of those crazy people is extremely powerful, once Lu Le meets him, he will definitely die.

The time is unbearable, this alley seems to have no end, Lu Le used all his strength to shuttle through the corpse wall, no one came to detect such a big movement, that group of madmen was undoubtedly in the ceremony, once he crossed the alley, swam across the canal into the aristocratic area, and was in the sacred barrier that was still in operation for the time being, he was safe.

But the strong sense of crisis in his heart has not dissipated for a long time, which makes Lu Le's heart extremely anxious.

"Soon, soon, the end is ahead, and behind that corner is the canal."

Quickly turning the corner, the lights of the aristocratic district were reflected on the canal, and the sparkling waves of the canal illuminated the last journey of the alley, and there were no corpses on the wall, but Lu Le did not speed up his pace, but stopped.

A man in a white robe blocked Lu Le's way, the white hood covered the man's appearance, and the wide robe flew in the wind, not being wet by the heavy rain, which also made Lu Le unable to distinguish gender. The iconic blood-colored thorns on the white robe made Lu Le's heart fall into the abyss—the group of madmen of the Oracle Church.

Without any hesitation, Lu Le immediately drew the long sword behind his back and rushed towards the oracle cultists in front of him. Due to an accidental contact with this organization, Lu Le knew that this group of madmen had no humanity, and would only want to kill all the humans and please the evil gods they said were betrayed by humans.

Drink!

During the sprint, Lu Le slowly adjusted his pace to the most stable state, raised his long sword in both hands, and shouted at the oracle cultists who were blocking the road.

Bite!

The long sword slashed the disciples, as if it had struck a steel plate, and the power of the shock came, making Lu Leman's hands that had not yet healed from their wounds stain the hilt red in the blink of an eye. What made Lu Le desperate was that he found that the long sword had not slashed within an inch of the white robe at all, not only the long sword, but even the rain in the sky had not seeped into the surroundings of the sect.

"Silver powerhouse!" Lu Le's heart was shocked, he was a miscellaneous fish that couldn't even be called black iron, and people could clean it up with a raise their hand. But this was not the reason for Lu Le to give up his life, he immediately let go of the long sword that was stuck by the aura, and Lu Le ran towards the canal without looking back, ten steps, five steps, three steps, and saw that he was getting closer and closer to the canal.

With a "poof", the long sword abandoned by Lu Le flew away and penetrated into the back of his head, everything in front of him was pitch black, and he fell unwillingly on the last step of the canal.

The oracle cultist behind him slowly walked to Lu Le's corpse, leaned forward with his right hand, and the blood-red gem he held in his hand slowly shone.

"Huh? No soul? A cold female voice came from the white robe, with a little doubt, expressing surprise that the gem in the hand had not collected the soul.

The Oracle didn't have any doubts for long, and there were more important things to do at this time. With a slight lift of her right hand, Lu Le's body seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand and pressed against the wall, and three iron nails flew out of the cuffs, nailing Lu Le to the wall. Then she slowly walked into the alley, and her figure disappeared.

The oracle cultists didn't notice that the moment she walked into the alley and looked away from Lu Le, Lu Le's body was slowly turning into a cloud of black smoke and disappearing, and the long sword inserted in the corpse also fell to the ground, and finally only three bloody long iron nails were nailed to the wall alone, proving that a corpse had been executed here.
