Lord of Eternal Darkness

The night turns into invisible hands and quietly closes the door to the day. There are no stars in the sky, only a red moon with a gap hanging, which is too blurry to see clearly.

From time to time, the roars of beasts, the roar of guns, and the screams of humans can be heard on the streets. Today is another "peaceful" day in Anzu City.

It's autumn and the night is a bit cold.

Carroll is an electrical circuit maintenance worker and temporary law enforcer. He just received a request from a resident to repair a street light.

In the dark depths where the light cannot shine, there is an uncomfortable sound of "crunch, crunch, click...".

This intermittent sound made people shudder, and they emboldened themselves to walk into the alley where they couldn't see their fingers.

The strong smell of blood filled the air and entered the lungs desperately, making it difficult to breathe.

The footsteps of the explorer approached inside step by step, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. He carefully took out the flashlight to gain a sense of security in the darkness.

Finally, Carol saw everything clearly.

But he would rather lie to the gods and say that he saw nothing. What a blasphemous scene in front of him.

The lower body of a humanoid monster was spread out like a skirt, spreading all over the alley. Blood and dirty organs were everywhere. The disgusting and dirty flesh was slowly squirming, and the black hair was very thick.

Its presence was everywhere on the walls and floor, and blood spread forward along the cracks in the stone.

Rather than calling it a body, it is better to call it a slime-like monster made of flesh and blood.

The lamppost deep in the alley was also tightly wrapped in flesh and blood. The disgusting, viscous liquid exuded bursts of stench and spread throughout the space, leaving people with nowhere to go.

It turned out that this was the reason why the lights here were blind, and Carol regretted coming to investigate.

That monster is still alive!

He opened his huge mouth and was chewing something.

In front of him was a corpse that resembled human remains lying on the ground, with blood mixed with internal organs flowing out, and the filth was blaspheming the sight, hearing, and smell of onlookers.

The monster felt uncomfortable under the light and slowly turned its head. Those cold and bloodthirsty eyes were staring at him, seemingly dissatisfied with being disturbed from his interest in eating.

With an angry howl, he dropped his dinner and rushed towards the man with lightning speed.

Carroll's face was pale, his teeth were chattering, and his hands were trembling as he pulled the trigger of the pistol.

"Boom——"

The sound of gunshots coming from deep in the alley means that another unfortunate person is about to die.

Carol screamed loudly and quickly fired a magazine, but to no avail.

Unfortunately, the flashlight also fell to the ground, and the light flickered a few times and went out.

Just when Carol thought she was finished, there was a deafening gunshot.

A blood hole appeared in the monster's chest, and then blazing flames began to burn continuously. Along with the smell of burning, it fell to the ground with a plop, losing its vital signs.

Li Xiaoming said: "Hey, are you okay, newbie? It looks like you were quite scared. Fortunately, you didn't pee your pants, haha."

The man pointed his hand forward tremblingly. "What the hell is this?"

"Oh, he's just a corrupted transcendent. He might have been a genetic sequencer before he was alive. The man lying down must be dead. In order to prevent these two from resurrecting, we will ask the gravediggers to drag the body away and cremate it later. "

The speaker was wearing a light power armor and a hard helmet. His voice was unexpectedly calm, and he was not surprised by what happened.

When the red moon comes, there will always be a lot of trouble. The work of law enforcers is so monotonous and dangerous.

Everyone in this team of law enforcers looked heavy. It seemed that they had been busy this week.

They all look forward to going home early, lying in the warm quilt of their mother-in-law, and having a good rest.

Carol suddenly asked: "Is this also our final fate?" His tone was particularly sad and confused.

Li Xiaoming comforted him: "Maybe, but after we die, our souls will belong to the emperor. Don't think so much. I'll treat you to barbecue when we go out later."

Hearing the word barbecue, the other party started to vomit violently.

"Haha, look at how cowardly you are."

Li Xiaoming recalled the previous dirty scenes and had long been accustomed to it. He had to deal with this kind of thing more than ten times every month, and his heart was already numb.

When they reached the street, they suddenly stopped.

The ground shook, and the beating of gongs sounded in front of them, approaching from far away.

Six burly men in front, with skin as dark as night, were carrying an exquisite white coffin.

They walked slowly, silently, but their bodies shook rhythmically, causing the coffin to jolt.

The man in front was holding a gong and beating it, which echoed in the quiet street. The atmosphere at the scene became extremely depressing and dead.

There was a sudden movement in the coffin, and the girl's cooing cry was heard.

A corner of the top was slowly lifted, and a slender white arm was revealed, and then quietly put back. Only then did the six big men carrying the coffin stop dancing.

The new enforcer swallowed in fear.

Nervously asked: "Did we hit something dirty?"

The captain smiled disdainfully and said: "It was people from the Double Dragon Society worshiping the gods. It was so spooky and terrifying. The girl was hired with money, and the salary was quite high. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't recruit men, I would have wanted to join. Lie down for a while."

"So...is that so?"

"Don't worry about him. Let's go about our own business. I'll be off work in a while." Li Xiaoming said silently, avoiding the other party's parade route.

After patrolling the streets in the jurisdiction, he returned to the ordnance management warehouse and called the engineering robot to come over and dismantle the sophisticated armor on his body.

He waited quietly for the power armor to be taken off, and told himself that he would never take this part-time part-time job next time, even if the salary was worth two months a day.

He also lamented that every new recruit who joins the army is so cowardly and useless.

Such people cannot live long in this cruel apocalyptic world...

No, maybe timid people will be more cautious. After all, "Those who drown are those who know how to swim, and those who fall to death are those who know how to ride horses." This sentence always makes sense.

He ordered a cold drink and drank it in one gulp, the refreshing feeling of coldness emanating from every pore.

I opened the door to the warehouse management room and walked out. I took out my green ID card and swiped my sign on the machine.

The name on the card is Li Xiaoming.

"Junior law enforcement officer, probationary period awaiting full-time promotion, official position is confidential, authority level A."

He twisted his shoulders and rolled his neck, and the pain turned into relief after a while.

He also complained about his fellow mechanics who did not have a good relationship with him.

"This iron thing is really heavy to wear. Can't those losers from the Military Research Department reduce the weight? They are not very agile yet. If they are really in danger, they will not be able to run away. I really don't know what they are thinking. .”

Li Xiaoming has finished his work and plans to go home, take a shower and sleep, get the salary he got today, and then run away with a bucket tomorrow. This urban area is no longer safe.

After all, now I am being targeted by two major forces, and I feel like I am dancing on the tip of a knife.

…

"The Red Moon Disaster is about to happen. Please stay at home, do not go out, do not seek death, and take safety precautions. Thank you for your cooperation."

“A new virus has appeared in Beiyuan City, and the gray corpse disease that is more than 1,000 years old is suspected to have recurred...

"The mayor of Kitahara City held a press conference yesterday. The epidemic may be a panic caused by cultists. He advised the people not to believe the rumors. The empire will not let any terrorist forces endanger the interests of the people. Transportation and trade will remain normal."

"There have been many tragedies in Anzu City. Men were disemboweled late at night. It is suspected to be a cult ritual. Men who go out must be careful and flee immediately when encountering situations..."

…

The news on the phone kept scrolling, and the hooded man muttered silently.

Scan every word in the paragraph carefully, not wanting to miss any useful information.

Li Xiaoming was lying on the bench at the bus stop. It seemed that he had missed the last bus today.

He said to himself: "It's getting late. It's curfew time after nine o'clock, but I'm still wandering outside. I hope I won't be hit by law enforcement, otherwise it will be too troublesome to interrogate me for a long time."

Li Xiaoming looked up at the night sky. A bloody moon was reflected in the sky, exuding a terrifying and gloomy atmosphere.

When people look around, they can only see a blur of red dots.

"It seems that it's the season when the red moon shines in the sky again. I hope not too many people will die this year."

He was silently blessed in his heart.

The earth should have been shrouded in red, but it was like an ordinary night.

Because the sky above the city is gray, with dust covering the sky, it blocks strong ultraviolet rays during the day, and even the red moon radiation cannot completely penetrate it, giving people a certain degree of protection.

Dust particles cover Poseidon throughout the year.

However, it is said that it did not exist 1,000 years ago. As for what happened, it is not something ordinary people can understand. Maybe even the nobles don't know.

During the period of time when the dust particles existed, a new world was also formed.

It's called the Era of Ashes.

However, when the red moon is in the sky, it will still affect a certain number of genetically sequenced creatures, making them violent and ferocious, and their strength will be greatly increased, posing a threat to the ordinary people around them and destroying the economy at the same time.

If you also have extraordinary strength, it will be easier to lose control. The previous one is an example.

I can't imagine how powerful these completely irradiated crazy creatures would have become if they weren't shielded by dust particles.

At this time, government law enforcers will take to the streets to protect those people.

Be sure not to act abnormally. If there is an accidental injury, there is nothing you can do.

Speaking of the status of law enforcer, it is also temporary.

Li Xiaoming is a serious person in the eyes of his colleagues, but he has a kind of arrogance when he speaks.

He reveals very little information, and his social relations are very simple. He does not participate in invitations from other colleagues, but he has a good relationship with upper-level leaders. Everyone knows that he is an extraordinary person, but they do not know his occupation.

When he is quiet, he is always in a daze thinking about something. When you call him, he will be startled, and then quickly calm down, as if he is harboring some big secret.

In fact, his name is not Li Xiaoming.

At least not 1,000 years ago. The original name was Ming Wu Yin, which was much more handsome.

The original name will cause some trouble, and it is easy to be targeted by the old gods or enemies.

The new name was just enough to hide his identity, and he got used to it after being called for a long time. It was different from his past self.

In a sense, he is also a time traveler, using the cryo chamber to freeze himself and then revive him.

This is Poseidon. The current time is in 3038. I have slept for a full 1,000 years. It is the second stage of the Ashes Era.

Li Xiaoming didn't catch the last bus, so he could only choose to stroll on the street, hunched his neck and lowered his head, scanning the dilapidated and deserted streets with bored eyes.

The wild cat in the alley is rummaging through the trash can, looking for some remaining food. When a figure passes by, it quickly merges into the darkness and transforms into a hunter in the forest, looking forward to the appearance of the big black mouse.

There were very few cars on the street, and the shadows under the headlights were pulled and passed quickly. Most people were sheltering at home.

He also has a mission that he has been fighting for his whole life, although it seems absurd and childish, that is to save the world.

I haven't thought about how to do it specifically. Anyway, the ultimate goal is to kill the emperor, the highest ruler on the planet.

I forgot a lot after I woke up, but this idea was deeply etched in my mind.

He actually doesn't like to call himself a savior, he is just an ordinary person with some ability.

It contains a lot of useless ancient knowledge that is incompatible with this era.

If he dares to say something crazy in front of any pope, say a strange thing about ancient times, or criticize everyone for being drunk and dreaming, the system is getting more and more backward, and your emperor is a puppet...

You might be arrested for heresy trials, roasting at the stake, iron maidens, etc. Let’s find out.

It started with a hell-level difficulty, so before he had the ability to change, he decided to be an ordinary person and live leisurely for a while.
