"Pray to the new God, surrender at the feet of the Lord, and sacrifice your lives and souls..."
In the basement of the island, the group of men in black were lying on the ground, forming a circle, worshiping and praying crazily to the goat skull.
The blood had dyed the slate floor brown, and the goat's skull, which had absorbed an unknown amount of human blood, now not only had its eyes glowing red, but the entire skull was shrouded in scarlet light.
"...Supreme Lord, accept the tributes offered by devout believers..."
"... 5.5 million lives, 5.5 million souls, all dedicated to the supreme master... "
"... We praise you, call you, and pray to you... come from the distant hell to purify the filthy world... "
With each time they kowtowed, the red light on the goat's skull flashed once, and the sea around the island also emitted layers of waves.
The invisible force started from this small island and quickly spread towards the coastline. If someone looks down from a high altitude, they can see the long crack that just appeared due to the earthquake, forming a straight line, diagonally piercing through the city and reaching the coastline.
A huge white ball of cloth tightly wrapped in linen smashed into the building fragments covering it, and then ejected from the ruins of the collapsed building.
The cloth ball spread out, revealing Xie Lun and others. Looking back at the tragic scene in front of them, Sherrel and Daddario opened their mouths in horror, speechless. After a moment, Daddario hurriedly turned back and looked at the office building in front of him. He was about to say something, but the flying smoke and dust blew into his face, making him choke and cough.
"Don't talk, put them all on."
Xie Lun took out several gas masks and neatly put them on each of them.
Sherrel shouted loudly: "Brother, what on earth is going on?"
Eileen said: "Xie Lun, is the illusion you created out of control?"
"I don't know," Xie Lun had returned to his original state and said in a deep voice, "I have canceled the illusion, but we are still trapped here. In addition, I can't open the space door smoothly. It seems that there is no connection between this place and the outside world. The connection has been messed up.”
Daddario stood up and staggered towards the half-collapsed office building. Xie Lun grabbed her and said urgently: "What are you going to do?"
"Mom, my mother is still in there, I have to save her."
"Why are you panicking? This is an illusion, and people don't really die."
"Are you sure?" Daddario turned to look at Sherron and said in a deep voice, "If this place is 100% safe, then why did you want to send us away when the earthquake first started?"
Xie Lun sighed: "I'm just in case."
"Then so do I."
Daddario walked towards the entrance of the office building without looking back. However, the ground began to shake again, and the building made a painful groaning sound. Daddario looked up and saw countless glass fragments shaking with it. The falling building fell from the sky and hit her directly.
Sherron stretched out his hand and shot out a strip of cloth, wrapped it around Daddario's waist and pulled her over.
There was a muffled sound of "crackling", and the falling glass shards penetrated deeply into the ground. Daddario's legs were so frightened that he couldn't stand up in Sherron's arms.
"Now is not the time to be brave. Don't end up risking your own life if no one else is able to rescue him."
Countless straw tentacles stretched out from behind him, and finally turned into a huge straw octagonal spider. Immediately afterwards, with a strong arm, Sherron simply picked up Daddario, and jumped onto the back of the spider with Sheryl and Irene.
Then Xiaocao transformed into a straw spider and ran quickly out of the city on its eight long legs. The uneven roads and collapsed high-rise buildings caused by the earthquake had no impact on it.
Along the way, Xie Lun and the other four saw the tragedy of the entire city caused by the earthquake. Cars rear-ended each other, or were pinned down by buildings. People who had no time to escape were stuck alive in the car windows and bled to death. Burning flames burst out everywhere, and with a violent explosion, the gas station turned into a huge fireball and rose into the sky.
The originally towering, luxurious buildings were either tilted or collapsed. Even in the remaining half of the buildings, most of them were filled with thick black smoke. It was obvious that there was a fire inside. From time to time, desperate people jump from the windows of the building, waving their arms desperately in the air, and finally fall heavily to the ground...
Sherrel closed her eyes tightly, got into Irene's arms, and couldn't help sobbing softly. Erin patted Sherrel's back gently and looked at Sherron with a frozen expression. Daddario curled up in Xie Lun's arms, holding his clothes tightly with her little hands, and whispered: "Xie Lun, can they... really be saved?"
Xie Lun didn't say anything. To be honest, he didn't have any confidence in his heart now. After all, what he saw in front of him was too tragic. Countless people died tragically in front of him, so that he himself was in a trance. Is he in a fantasy world or the real world
"careful!"
Amid the screams of Sheraire and others, the ground shook violently again, and another wave of strong earthquakes struck. Xie Lun waved his hand, and the grass stretched out its straw tentacles, wrapped Sherelle and Daddario, and swallowed them into the body to protect them. He and Irene stood on the back of the grass, looking at the trembling earth in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "This earthquake is strange!"
Eileen nodded: "Logically speaking, even if there are earthquakes, they should not be so frequent, and they are all such strong earthquakes."
"Not only that, the time between each earthquake is the same, about five minutes."
Before he finished speaking, the remaining building on the side suddenly collapsed underground, and a bottomless crack appeared, extending rapidly towards Xie Lun.
The grass suddenly jumped up, and then sprayed out more than a dozen water tank-thick tentacles from its abdomen, flying far away and landing on distant buildings or the ground. Then with another exertion, he pulled himself over.
Xie Lun turned his head and frowned as he looked at the crack that was torn and extended to the end of his sight. This long crack will swallow up many lives.
Eileen suddenly reached out and pulled Xie Lun's sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Something's wrong. So many people have died, but where are the souls?"
Xie Lun frowned and said: "I discovered it a long time ago. This is also the evidence that I am convinced that this is still an illusion and people do not actually die."
As he spoke, he casually drew a circle of fire in the air that was only the size of a palm. A ball of flames emitting thick black smoke suddenly shot out from the ring of fire. Erin slapped out a palm to scatter the flames. Xie Lun clenched his fists, closed the space door, and gritted his teeth and said: "But you see, the space is misaligned. This time I clearly wanted to open the coordinates somewhere in the sea, but flames spurted out from the other side."
Erin said solemnly: "Then the only explanation is that someone took control of this illusion on your behalf and sealed the surrounding space. The purpose is to prevent us from escaping here."
Xie Lun narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingers in his palms. After a while, he said thoughtfully: "Don't tell me, I really know such a capable person. But..."
He looked up at the sky shrouded in smoke and dust: "She is already quite old, so she shouldn't be so childish in playing pranks on me, right?"
"It's not good, Xie Lun." Ritaza suddenly appeared in front of Xie Lun, grabbed Xie Lun's hand, and said urgently, "Something big happened, we... were all taken advantage of!"
