Chapter 52: Lost, Firelight, Culprit

............

I was a little hesitant to tell him that the Holy City had actually sent this.

But just in case what I thought wasn't the same thing as what it said, I still asked, "Is the holy city you are talking about surrounded by the clouds and streams of the Great Rift Valley, and there is a water mountain nearby, and there is a big electric sound temple?" ”

"Huh?" It thought for a moment and said, "Shui Shan doesn't know, everything else is there." What's wrong? ”

"If my memory is not wrong." I said in a tone that did not provoke him as much as possible: "The Holy City was destroyed not long ago. ”

"Holy City? Destroy? It shook its red sleeves: "You must be mistaken." It's impossible. Even if the heavens and the earth change greatly, the holy city cannot be destroyed, and the world has not changed to that extent. ”

Although I know that it must have misunderstood what I meant, the other party probably thought that when I said "the destruction not long ago", I was referring to the destruction of the Holy City caused by the lighthouse boy destroying the world wall. But it doesn't matter, and I don't bother to explain. Besides, I really don't know why the Holy City suddenly collapsed that night.

However, since the Holy City, my hut, and the Dengyuan site are roughly on the same line, I still agreed to the other party's request. However, the self-proclaimed demon machine said that it was not going to go on its way immediately, and that it still needed to wait for another companion here.

But I can't wait here - my shadow is already in a trance because it is not protected by the black cat, and I desperately need to find the black cat, or return to my cabin.

So it gave me the approximate location of the Holy City, which was located by the signal in the hall of the Great Electric Music Temple, and there was almost no mistake.

I still remember the statue of Veda Bodhisattva in the Heavenly King Hall of the Great and Small Dianyin Temple, holding a ...... in his hand Belch... Higgs field generator or deflection field wave communication instrument or something.

In this way, even if the holy city is broken and not decent, the signal base station of the Buddha Gate seems to be relatively intact. For this demon, the holy city can also be said to be "not destroyed", after all, the other party's purpose is just to steal the data of the Buddha Gate, and it will be fine if the data is still there.

I corrected the direction according to its coordinates and moved on.

It didn't take long for my vision to widen, and there were fewer strange scatters around me, and there was a wasteland in the distance. But farther away, you can faintly see the dark shadow of a tall building complex, the shape is somewhat familiar.

"Hey—it seems to be the 'Steel Forest' I've seen in the Source Realm before." I exclaimed, "Looks like you've grown taller again—"

However, there are several "building knots" that break at the waist, or collapse, or recline, or horizontally, which looks very pitiful. It's normal to think about it, after the world merged, many things fell from mid-air, and it was reasonable to smash down a few white board buildings.

Seeing here means I'm ...... Probably overdone. Because the corresponding location here is near the small electric music temple in the original wasteland world, according to the location, my hut should be in the back position.

Just as I was hesitating to change direction, I suddenly noticed a faint flickering fire in the distance.

If there is a fire, it is very likely that someone has a fire, and if there is someone, it is almost certain that there is a clock, water, and a certain ability to protect themselves.

Well, not necessarily. I shook my head, this is an outdated idea. In the original wasteland, it can be speculated in this way, but now it is a fusion world, and the other party may not be from the wasteland world at all.

Anyway, let's go check it out first, maybe you can find a black cat that rubs water to drink?

......

As I got closer, I couldn't help but slow down.

The environment over there...... Why does it look a bit like the ruins of the Holy City?

This...... A thousand thoughts crossed my mind, but they all dissipated when I saw the man standing by the fire.

This is...... People?

Mankind?

At least I've never seen a human like this.

The humanoid creature was certainly not a sapient machine, he had fleshy skin on the surface, but the color was very wrong, and I really can't tell how weird it was. A blood-colored garment—indecipherable, tattered—appeared to be a black unidentified substance surging underneath. The face has a mask with a strange texture, which looks like metal, but it is strung together one by one.

The most bizarre thing is that two dark tentacles poke out of the mouth and right ear, and there are eyeballs distributed at the top. It looks like they've grabbed two big innocent eyeballs and clasped them on their tentacles.

I seem to have seen him in a vision when the world merged, but it was only a glimpse, not real, and now it is in front of me...... Said scared to the point that it wasn't enough, but it was a little disgusting.

To be honest, I personally can't accept anything other than water swallowed in my mouth (and now pollen), let alone the strange image of the other person who seems to be a creature from his mouth to his ears.

I now wonder if the other person is parasitized by some kind of creature.

Originally, I thought about asking the other party if they had seen a black cat or something......

"Sui, go back." The other party spoke. But it doesn't seem to be for me.

So I watched as the two tentacles burrowed back from my mouth and ears......

I couldn't read it, but I was blown away.

"Who are you?" The other man spoke again, this time to me.

The man seemed to have something like a sword in his hand, and it looked like some kind of weapon, and it seemed to be very defensive against me.

"Passing by." I say. It's the truth. "Is this the site of the Holy City?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." The other party said, looking up at the sky.

I kept a distance of thirty or forty meters from him, and it was a bit difficult to speak, so I had to shout.

I followed him and looked up at the sky. Nothing of note was found.

"The starry sky suddenly moved." Copper Coin Mask said: "Do you know what's going on? ”

“?” I thought about it, and I kind of understood what was going on - "Phew—you're also from outside." ”

I see, the other party is not from this world, so it makes sense to look like this. I should have thought that my mind would be stuck in the past for a while, and I couldn't turn around.

So I gave him a little common sense about life in the wasteland: walking in the wasteland at night, if there is no clock (or no carrying) within a certain range of the person, then time will not go. If time doesn't go, you will be trapped in that time period until someone passes by with a clock at the same time, or you find and make a clock yourself. Of course, the same goes for if the clock runs out of power or for some reason it doesn't go.

Looking at the other person's confused expression, I felt as if I had seen a doctor from the past. At that time, he was also confused by the common sense that "water is red".

Different worlds have different rules, maybe the water in the doctor's world is green, while the world of the copper coin mask man walks outside with a mask or he dies.

It's all a matter of course.

But right now, after hearing my enthusiasm for popular science, the copper coin mask man seems to be a little out of control, muttering things like "I can't tell, I really can't tell", and staring at the half of the orange out of my pocket, talking to himself.

I was so frightened by his gaze that this ordinary orange was useless anyway, so I thought about it, got closer, and wanted to put the orange in front of him. However, he was cut off, and a tentacle stretched out of his stomach to take the orange, which frightened me back.

"......," he looked at the orange in a trance, "...... Mother? ”

Me: "? ”

He started talking to the oranges—to me every now and then—and seemed to treat me like a. is probably talking about his past experience, pouring out his helplessness and confusion.

I looked up at the time, and it was probably some time before it was fully dawn. So I sat down, listened to his story, and passed the time.

But the more I listened, the more wrong it became, and when I heard him pass out after summoning a being named Bayu not long ago, and then wake up and come to this place, I felt that things were not easy.

This bayu he was talking about...... Wouldn't it be the "new evil god" who was summoned from under the Holy City to break through the Holy City, and then fought with Huang Ji in the Source Realm???
