Volume 1 Crime and Punishment Chapter 48 The Evil Capital
Luo Mu jumped lightly on the roof, and there was a subtle gray-black wind flowing around his body, these winds were like a part of Luo Mu's body, supporting him to move forward at a very fast speed, and Luo Mu could understand the situation of half a kilometer with Luo Mu's body as the center, and the wind was like his other eye.
Soon, Luo Mu, who could barely distinguish his body in the night, had already come to the city wall of Herlis, after the incident at Mankotsh Cathedral, Herlis implemented a night ban, and no one was allowed to appear on the street after ten o'clock, and under the carpet search of countless teams of soul masters, only Luo Mu dared to swagger all the way from the air so carelessly.
Along the way, Luo Mu at least evaded the search team of nearly ten Eyes of Helis in Hurlis City, and it was almost unimaginable that such a number of soul masters were loyal to Corvo, which showed that Corvo definitely had his capital as one of the five superpowers.
Subtle soul power fluctuations erupted in an extremely oppressive small area all over Hurlis, and it was the first time Luo Mu had seen such a variety of soul masters, all kinds of completely different soul powers would appear as soon as the hell rift was generated, and then destroy it instantly before the demon could come out of it.
During this month, Herlis's inspection of leaving the city and entering the city was extremely strict, and Her Majesty the Empress even refused the request of visiting teams from other countries to leave the city in order to catch the soul master in Mankotsh's Cathedral, and now Herlis is like a huge cage, only allowed to enter, not to leave.
As Corvo's main city, Hellis is also the only first-order city in Corvo, its walls are nearly 100 meters thick, even if Luo Mu consumes all his soul power in an instant, Luo Mu's flickering soul technique cannot directly appear outside the city wall at one time.
Luo Mu's location is far away from the city gate of Hurlis under a city wall, the defensive strength here is slightly weaker than the main gate, Luo Mu did not stop at all, his feet lightly touched the ground, the wind around his body seemed to make his body blend into the entire night sky, this jump directly made Luo Mu's figure rise nearly 100 meters, but this distance is only less than one-fifth of the distance for the incomparably majestic Hurlis city wall.
A wind blade in Luo Mu's hand took shape instantly, Luo Mu bent his body in the air, and the wind blade in his hand silently pierced into the city wall of Herlis like a tofu.
It was already late at night, but the top of the wall of Hurlis was bright, every few tens of meters there was a street lamp powered by a mixture of soul power and deep-sea whale oil emitting a strong light, and a torch was placed in a slightly dark corner, the footsteps of the officers and soldiers of Hurlis could be heard everywhere at the top of the wall, the empress had almost paranoid confidence in her soldiers and defenses, and it was true, it was impossible for anyone to pass through the walls of Hurlis with this defensive intensity, not even a mosquito.
But no one could have imagined that Luo Mu could, maybe Luo Mu himself didn't know at this moment, his flickering soul skill had never appeared in the soul skill records of the soul master for millions of years, and it was a unique soul skill that no one could think of, and this kind of soul skill was based on Luo Mu's "night shadow" state It was like a match made in heaven, Luo Mu seemed to be born for the night.
A hand silently put on the head of the city wall of Hurles, the gray-black wind flowing on that hand, making that hand look extremely black, if it is not almost on the face, no one will find that there is an extra hand on the wall, Luo Mu has taken off his windbreaker at the moment, revealing the black tights he is wearing inside, he exposed half of his head from the wall, observed it slightly, and with a force of his wrist, he jumped out of the wall.
After Luo Mu's night shadow state was activated, the wind wrapped around his body made him terrifying in the dark night, his whole person was integrated into the night, the sound of him falling to the ground was almost inaudible, the gap between the patrol officers and soldiers on the wall of Hurlis was only thirty seconds, but this was enough for Luo Mu, the last officer and soldier of a group of people had just walked by, Luo Mu's flickering soul skill was activated instantly, and he stood in the shadow of the torch, and then the next moment he stood in the shadow of the street lamp, and then in an instant he actually appeared in the shadow of the last officer and soldier, and then he jumped and rolled out directly from the other side of the wall。
The nearly 100-meter Hurlis City Wall Luo Mu actually passed through in less than a second, and not even a single officer and soldier defending the city noticed anything unusual.
But such a violent consumption of soul power made Luo Mu a little unbearable, although the body had healed, but there was still some slight pain coming out of the chest, Luo Mu turned out of the city wall of Hurlis, his back against the wall and let his body fall freely, a long exhale, the height of hundreds of meters was enough for Luo Mu to recover his soul power and then take a breath, just when he was about to approach the ground, he waved his hands, the wind supported his figure, his feet were a little wall, and his body shot forward like an arrow off the string, and in an instant it was out of the monitoring range of the city wall of Hurlis。
Outside the city wall of Herlis is a very wide road, the road even allows more than a dozen carriages to go hand in hand, but in this month's curfew, countless people who want to return to Helis are blocked outside the city wall of Herlis, countless stranded people have gathered outside the city wall into a camp, this camp gives Luo Mu excellent shelter conditions, Luo Mu shuttles through the camp like a swimming fish, it is almost midnight at the moment, and there is no sound in the camp except for the steady breathing of people.
Luo Mu walked through the camp in an instant, and then there was a dense mountain forest, the huge moon revealed a white light without the shade of the city's high-rise buildings, and projected on Luo Mu through the dense mountain forest, Luo Mu was like a gust of wind, when he arrived here, he didn't have to worry about anything, only the sound of falling leaves breaking came from his feet, and a large amount of power brought by each jump could make Luo Mu move forward dozens of meters in an instant, and after a while, Luo Mu arrived at the middle of the mountain forest dozens of miles away from the city wall of Herres, suddenly, Luo Mu stopped, he was standing on the branch of a lush uncle, this big tree is estimated to be hundreds of years old, and six or seven people may not be able to hug it, and in the lush moss under the tree, a dilapidated statue of a god that seemed to have been abandoned was leaning diagonally.
Luo Mu took out Ignitz's letter from his body and compared it, that's right.
Luo Mu jumped down from the tree and walked in front of the idol, this idol looked as old as this big tree, almost invisible to the wind and rain erosion, like a gray stone, Luo Mu stood in front of the idol, crossed his hands and overlapped, the thumbs and index fingers of both hands were stacked together to make a circle, the rest of the fingers of both hands crossed and stretched forward, Luo Mu closed his eyes and silently mobilized his soul power, the shape of his hands overlapped seemed to trigger some kind of unique ritual, and in an instant he devoured most of the soul power in Luo Mu's body.
But Luo Mu still didn't open his eyes, the circle in his hands came out a little light, as if echoing from afar, the idol actually came out a little light, suddenly, the center of the idol suddenly opened a dark eye without white eyes, the center of the eye has a cat-like thin pupil, the pupil has the symbol of Igniz, an upside-down pentagram.
This eye seems to have emotion, it looked Luo Mu up and down, with the movement of the eye, Luo Mu seemed to be able to feel an inexplicable power swimming all over the body, and then the eye disappeared, a hole in the trunk behind the statue quietly formed, the hole was bubbling with a dark light, and the black lines swirled inward again and again, Luo Mu did not hesitate, stepped into the door, and then the hole disappeared, and the forest returned to calm, and the idol did not make the slightest sound, quietly shattered, turned into a handful of dust, as if everything had never happened before。
After Luo Mu stepped into the door, he seemed to have a foot in the air, and his body fell down suddenly, but this state did not last long, Luo Mu felt that the surroundings suddenly lit up, and his feet suddenly stepped on the ground, Luo Mu slowly opened his eyes, this scene was the last scene he could remember, five houses with delicate and slender roofs behind him were still standing here quietly, and the hexagonal square paved with white jade was still reflected by the light from nowhere.
The square seems to have not changed in the slightest for tens of thousands of years, and the only change is that Luo Mu is no longer a teenager who walked out of the endless bloody house hidden under the exquisite and gorgeous surface, he is now standing on the black pupil mark in the middle of the square, the black sign is still the same, silently rotating, the circle of lines keeps circling inward, time seems to have stood still at this moment, the five houses behind him still have five doors open, but there is no bloody and disgusting breath inside, and the grooves on the ground are also empty, and there is no colorful smoke flowing inside。
The moment Luo Mu opened his eyes, the fog in front of him dispersed, it was still the long pontoon bridge, the huge building that was completely open to the sky was still like a god's mansion overlooking all living beings, floating there quietly, and the black-robed old man in black robe who was dressed to cover his whole body also stood at the front of the pontoon bridge as if he had never moved, but this time when he saw Luo Mu standing in the center of the pupil sign, he no longer showed a strange gaze, but bowed slightly and said, "Lord Janus is waiting for you"
Luo Mu nodded, walked down the rotating sign, and walked towards the pontoon, but the moment Luo Mu crossed the black-robed old man and stepped on the pontoon bridge, the world finally revealed its original appearance, and the smoke that drifted in the sky of the entire space quietly dispersed, and this pontoon bridge was actually made of countless blood-drenched bones, and Luo Mu stepped on some fresh bones, and the blood on it was even flowing.
And when the clouds and mist in the space dispersed in an instant, the nine hideous and vicious suns in the sky also appeared, this sky was only filled with one color, that is, the blood-like red, and the huge building in the distance was not pitch black, but hung with a lot of blood splashed red, Luo Mu walked forward step by step, and a violent sound sounded in the whole space, the sound was like the roar of a dying man, and it was like the first cry of a newborn.
Luo Mu's conjecture was not wrong, everything he saw was indeed floating in the air, because under its feet was an endless land that could not be seen at a glance, the earth was extremely barren, almost no green could be seen, and the ground cracked countless cracks under the scorching sun, and on this land, as wide as the ground were endless demons, and countless corpses, and at this moment, whether it was a low-level demon or a high-level demon who had already gained consciousness, they all raised their heads and looked at this floating city, they all raised their weapons in their hands, put down the pieces of meat they were biting in their hands, and let out a deafening huge roar。
Luo Mu's feet did not stop at all, and he walked forward step by step, but he seemed to understand the meaning of these demonic roars.
