"The refuge has existed since the establishment of Twilight Village, and this is the second time it has been opened."
That's what Chen Baiqi told Qi Leren.
At this time, Chen Baiqi, Qi Leren, and Ning Zhou rushed to the shelter with Dr. Lu, Qianqian, Xue Yingying, and Du Yue. Along the way, they saw many executive officers of the court evacuating the crowd. The successive explosions that occurred in every corner of Twilight Village cast layers of haze on the starry sky, and every sound was like the approaching footsteps of the god of death.
The fire illuminated the night sky, and the smell of gunpowder smoke seemed to bring the originally peaceful Twilight Land into a battlefield. There were constant gunshots and battle sounds, and the crazy laughter of fanatics and the screams of innocents made this place belong to The night of the festival becomes a nightmare.
Along the way, they saw an astonishing number of fanatics. These rat-like filthy lunatics finally got out from the dark corners of sewers, basements, and attics. The monster of the power demon formed countless projections and descended on the land of dusk, causing an astonishing number of casualties.
"Be careful!" Qi Leren pulled away the stunned Dr. Lu, and accurately shot the tentacles that rushed up, "Don't stand still, turn on your wifi card! Don't let the monster pay attention It's up to you! Or you can simply hide in my semi-domain, and I'll release you when I get there!"
Dr. Lu was almost terrified by a tentacle that dragged him into the ground. He had never seen such a horrible and chaotic scene. It seemed that everyone was crazy. There were burning flames everywhere, flying sparks, and There were screams and wailing everywhere, far and near, which completely changed the face of this originally peaceful paradise. As for the corpses lying on the ground, there were too many people he knew, people he didn't know but were familiar with, and there were even more people who were swallowed by monsters and didn't even leave their bodies.
How lucky is Dr. Lu, even in such a world, the cruelty he has seen is not worth mentioning. The peaceful and beautiful Twilight Land hides the most real horror in this world, weaving a sweet dream for him. In this dream, he owns his own small clinic, with neither too many nor too many customers, but enough money for his cakes, neither many nor too few friends, but sincere to him, neither too many nor too few tasks, he stumbles but is lucky coped with it.
However, however.
Dreams always wake up.
"I'm fine... let's go!" Dr. Lu said tremblingly, and turned on the wifi card.
Because of the effect of the card, Dr. Lu was unknowingly ignored by his companions. He stumbled and chased after their backs, watching them fight the enemy and win a short-lived victory.
"Wait for me!" Dr. Lu shouted anxiously, straddling his legs desperately to catch up, but accidentally tripped over a severed limb and fell into the muddy pool of blood.
The fear of being left behind and the pain of falling made his eyes overflow with tears of grievance. He wiped his eyes vigorously, endured the pain and continued to chase.
Fortunately, he didn't chase for too long. Qi Leren and the others realized that the "wifi source" was far away and walked back, which allowed Dr. Lu to catch up with the large group.
There was a steel bridge in front of them, several people rushed up, and oncoming was another group of fanatics who had just completed the sacrifice. They had completely fallen into madness, a huge sticky monster occupied the deck of the steel bridge. The tentacles are covered with ugly eyeballs, dripping with stinky pus. The crowd in front fell into a frenzy, and the crazy crowd created a huge commotion. People kept falling off the bridge, and more deaths could not be stopped.
"Endless." Chen Baiqi dropped the cigarette butt, and tightened the unicorn's rein, "Don't waste time, this is left to me, you go first!"
The fast-moving unicorn carried Chen Baiqi towards the giant monster, and the heavy book in her hand opened automatically, and a mighty and domineering griffin flew out from the pages, hovering over the giant monster's head for a while, He swooped down suddenly and fought with it. Two giant monsters fought one by one from the bridge deck into the water, each attack splashed water all over the sky, and the blocked steel bridge finally resumed traffic.
"Let's go, a weakened projection, she can handle it." Ning Zhou said.
The people of Qi Le knew that time was running out, so they pulled up Sissi, fought side by side with Ning Zhou, dispersed the fanatics who were raging along the way, and led the crowd towards the refuge that was not far away.
Chen Baiqi, who was riding on the unicorn, overlooked the battle under the steel bridge. The book of summoning in his hand was still on the page of the griffin, and the griffin with bright patterns on the paper had gradually faded. Chen Baiqi's expression was grave. The energy she could provide was limited. Since the half-field was broken, the [Book of Summoning] that once made her famous had lost its great reputation back then. With her current mental strength, she couldn't sustain a long battle. The battle of time.
Chen Baiqi's rough fingers caressed the pages of the book. At the beginning of the semi-realm, she traveled the land of the nightmare world and worked hard in order to find the strongest summoned beast and enrich her book of summons. That was the most vigorous time in her life, young, strong, with unlimited dreams and hopes.
Recalling those years, she still smiles, but this smile can't last long, the faint pain from the broken leg is like a vicious poisonous snake, quietly wrapping around her leg - that is the regeneration of severed limbs There are also old wounds that cannot heal, from unforgivable deceit and betrayal.
Perhaps for her, this is not a "betrayal" at all.
Because she was originally a witch.
The griffin let out a shrill scream, and turned into a phantom and returned to Chen Baiqi's pages. She looked at the giant monster that was still wreaking havoc in the water, its tentacles wrapped around the steel bridge again in an attempt to return here, and a sneer sneered at the corner of her mouth.
In the next second, she rode on the unicorn and rushed towards the side of the steel bridge at lightning speed. The person and the mount flew out of the bridge together, like an arc of a crescent moon. The unicorn disappeared and returned to her. In the book, and Chen Baiqi, she adjusted her posture in mid-air, grasped two short knives tightly and jumped into the water.
Another group of people who rushed across the steel bridge witnessed this moment. Under the tumbling river, the roaring monster was sucked into a huge vortex... The river suddenly became angry, and the power of the vortex even made the steel bridge's strong body collapse. Trembling constantly, the crowd screamed and collapsed, frantically fleeing here and running towards the shelter.
After killing the monster, Chen Baiqi, who was drenched all over, came out of the water, lying on his back on the water, breathing in fresh air.
The sky was pitch black, and the cold starlight became weak in the surrounding flames. The rare night scene in Twilight Land was completely destroyed by such sounds and colors.
After the outbreak, Chen Baiqi, who was exhausted, swam to the shore. The change of gravity when she returned to the shore made it difficult for her to stand up, and there was an unbearable pain at the joint of the left leg prosthesis.
She spat out the blood-smelling salty seawater, and walked forward with heavy steps, going to the shelter to join the others.
The panicked crowd fled in all directions, and the sky rained fire from time to time. Although the magic attacks from the fanatics were not powerful, they were perfect for causing riots.
Chen Baiqi watched all this coldly, until a young girl fell in the crowd and let out a shrill cry.
That voice aroused her sensitive nerves, she pushed the crowd away and pulled her up from the ground.
The girl's face was blocked by her long curly hair like seaweed, she moaned and sobbed, and held Chen Baiqi's hand as if grabbing a life-saving straw, trembling uncontrollably.
Chen Baiqi pulled her out from the crowd, and pulled her to a small road leading to the refuge: "Follow me, I will take you to the refuge."
The girl stopped crying, and she raised her head, revealing the stunning face under the curly hair.
Chen Baiqi let go of his wrist as if bitten by a poisonous snake.
The falling fire rain illuminated the girl's face. It was obviously extremely beautiful, but because of the girl's poppy eyes, it was full of lust. Her beauty turned into a weapon that pierced her soul. looked at her with a smile.
The face was exactly the same, but it was no longer the look in the eyes—the eyes that single-mindedly regarded her as the one who redeemed her.
"Sister Baiqi, do you still remember me?" the glamorous witch asked gently.
Memories come flooding back:
—"Can I call you sister Baiqi?" the girl in ragged clothes asked timidly, but her peerless appearance was not concealed.
—"You can't escape, this is the territory of the lustful witch, she controls everything here... before they find you, you go!" The girl resisted her fear and refused her help, persuading her to leave quickly.
—"Sister Baiqi, it doesn't matter what I do, but you must be safe, I just hope you are safe." The scarred girl hugged her helplessly, crying and praying.
Chen Baiqi closed her eyes. Even after so many years, that anger was still like countless mines exploding in her heart, making her lose her mind again and again.
"After so many years, my acting skills have not deteriorated." Chen Baiqi said in a calm voice.
The witch smiled like a flower: "It's not bad to be around His Majesty. It's just that you, sister Baiqi, are not as elegant as you were back then."
The amputation of the left leg and the lower abdomen throbbed, and the scars burned by the flames of betrayal would never heal in a lifetime.
Chen Baiqi sneered, and suddenly opened his eyes to stare at the lustful witch in front of him: "No matter what you do here today, our grievances should be settled."
The Lust Witch smiled sweetly: "Okay."
