BGM: Anomalous Situation (Akatsuki Kami)

At night, the colorful buildings in the center of the city exude a strange charm and stand out for hundreds of miles.

If it is a past where wildlife is everywhere, it may attract many curious animals.

Of course, despite the abundance of wildlife on the floor, at least now it is a human civilization wrapped in reinforced concrete, so there are no animals.

At the same time, there is no one.

Empty streets, as if humanity was extinct. Just kidding.

To the north of the complex is a building that resembles a television tower, with steel lines that outline a smooth and graceful curve, and the surface is specially treated to give it a white appearance.

At the top of the tower lies a man.

Don't get me wrong, the tip of the tower is not a flat concrete floor. It was a thin, hard metal rod.

The man's back was parallel to the ground, lying on his back facing the night sky, his thoracic vertebrae hung in the air by a hard, sharp, thin rod, and his limbs swaying gently in the cold night wind, like a rag.

Like a prisoner being executed.

Sinner.

The man's eye sockets and cheeks were deep, his forehead was broad and smooth, his brow bones were prominent, and his thin lips were pursed as if he were enduring unimaginable pain. More of an ascetic preacher than an abuser of psychotropic substances.

His pale skin was bloodless, like a dead man. The man was more than two meters tall, but he was as thin and shriveled as a match, and his long arms hung down almost as long as his legs, and anyone who saw him could easily think of a spider.

The man's upper body was wrapped in a dark blue sleeved shirt, and the exposed wrists were partially wrapped in white bandages. He wears plain dark blue trousers underneath.

"Almost... ”

The man muttered softly, his sunken eyes turning toward the northernmost part of the city.

In the distance, there was a melodious and ethereal singing, ancient and desolate, as if the stars in the night sky had opened their eyes. It makes people feel the urge to run past desperately.

It's like a piper in a fairy tale, who uses his beautiful flute to attract a large number of children, and then takes them into the mountains and disappears.

"Boom ——"

The rumbling sound wave was like thunder, quickly sweeping in all directions, a large number of bricks, earth and stones splashed, and the ground made of cement was deeply sunken.

The huge fuchsia boots swayed its body forward, and the fog and clouds of the night dispersed, and the air around it seemed to be pushed backwards by an invisible giant hand.

The frenzied currents of air rushed into the distance like frightened fish, as if even these inanimate things were afraid of the strange thing that kept moving forward.

When the clouds dissipated, a black shadow was hidden in front of it like a curtain, outlining only a large outline. The black curtain seemed to inform him of the reality behind him, pouring out endlessly from afar.

As can be seen from the lines of the clothing, it is a humanoid thing dressed like a medieval wizard, and its upper body is completely hidden in a black shadow, making it difficult to distinguish, but even a rough estimate of its height is more than 10,000 meters.

"Knock-knock-"

At some point, the originally melodious flute sound was mixed with a strange sound, like the tinkling sound of broken parts falling on the place after the rain, full of elasticity.

Countless syllables and rhymes were superimposed and combined, becoming more and more chaotic, and finally a tsunami.

Suddenly, all the sounds began to climb towards a certain high frequency, turning into a sharp hum.

The thing in the black mist lifted a limb, revealing a large, spherical object at the tip - similar to a human head in its outline.

In the midst of this discordant music, more figures emerged from the mist, their sizes looking to be the size of ordinary humans, but they were numerous.

This is no longer the scale that can be described by a sea of people.

Streets, stairs, corners, roofs.

People are like ubiquitous microorganisms, constantly multiplying and extending themselves, and then covering them in a crowded way, forming a surging crowd of people like a fungus blanket near the ground.

These "people" look like normal people, of course, this is only from the appearance, does not mean that they have the same thinking power as normal people.

At least a normal person does not ignore the people around them who are constantly trampled and crushed to death, so that their faces are smeared with ketchup and white slurry without reacting.

The man lying on the tower was still lying flat, his head tilted back towards the ground, and his neck was folded at a dangerous angle of nearly ninety degrees.

His black pupils are like simple ornaments, and there is no projection of any external objects in them, which at first glance looks like a blind man.

That is, the huge strange thing was coming straight towards him, and even though the crowd was unabashedly surrounding him from all directions, the wooden guy still didn't react

"It's still a step too late... ”

His voice could only be heard by himself, but it was like he was speaking to something in the black mist.

As the man spoke, the fuchsia boots stopped moving forward.

"Along the way, I passed through twenty-one countries and one hundred and seventy-three cities, and a total of more than 250 million human beings in the surface world were harvested, as well as two hundred and twenty-four transcendents including three school districts. ”

There was no emotion in the man's voice, it was up and down, just a simple statement.

"I don't know the exact purpose, but just for something like this trivial thing can make the plural crown sink itself into a mess - what happened to you?"

"Nominally, we're still allies. ”

"Why don't you tell me about it, Lamplighter. ”

After all, in less than three years, Paradise will be destroyed. ”

"Although we have a hostile relationship, it is disturbing for such an old enemy to disappear from this world so casually... ”

"If you give me an answer, and then dispel my uneasiness, I can get you out of here, and even escort you back to the abyss of Montpass. ”

"Hmmm... So what needs to be said has been said, then, what about the answer?"

The purple-red figure did not react, and when the man finished speaking, he began to move forward on his own again, and at the same time the limbs carrying the round thing were slightly raised, and a faint yellow light was born from the black mist, only the size of a soybean, but its light was like a crawling insect swarm, spreading to the surroundings in a very irregular form. It's light, but it makes the world around it even darker and more blurry.

"Well, I see. ”

The man nodded to himself, and although there was no verbal exchange, the other party's actions were already equivalent to a declaration of war.

"Challenging an unknown and powerful being is a commendable courage, but it is another thing to charge towards an invincible being. ”

"Although I don't know where your confidence is, from now on, the name of the lamp will no longer be in the roster of the paradise - in the Nanguang God System. ”

The man slowly rose into the sky in a relaxed position, muttering to himself, regardless of whether the other party heard it or not.

At this moment, his whole body exudes a strange quality, as if he has escaped from this world, thus breaking free from the shackles of physical laws - and even all laws in disguise.

"Huh?"

The man suddenly stopped in the air.

His eyes turned downwards and he looked into the distance, as if to establish a connection with some being.

"Ahh It's going to be a meeting again, Lei Jun. ”

"In battle, yes, it's the lamplighter, can you postpone it if you can?"

"BB, what does this have to do with it?"

“。。。 Yes, just give me 10 minutes. ”
