"The hometown of gods? What is that?" An Ran asked.

Anna said: "The so-called hometown of the gods, as the name suggests, is the place favored by the gods. The people living there live a comfortable, peaceful and happy life every day - even though the outside world has been raging with wars and famines for years... These people have received the grace of God, and if they do not make serious mistakes in the future, they will definitely ascend to the kingdom of heaven in the future.”

"You know I want to go up, right?" Anna raised her finger and smiled wryly: "Although it seems that God has abandoned me... but Alan just appeared so suddenly, he is so different, It made me notice him among the mediocre beings...I believe his appearance is not simple, he must not be an ordinary bard, he came to me for a purpose..."

An Ran seemed to understand it, but there was one thing he agreed with very much, that is, this Alan is indeed not a mortal, he is a demon from hell, and there is indeed an ulterior purpose for appearing beside Anna!

"Since you know that his appearance is not accidental, and he approached you for other purposes, why do you trust him so much? Aren't you afraid that he is plotting something wrong?" An Ran asked with a frown.

Anna chuckled: "The purpose I thought was naturally different from what you worried about. I thought he was not a mortal, but an envoy sent by heaven to inspect me—I thought he wanted to test my achievements in the world before deciding whether I could You can't enter the legendary hometown of gods..."

"Do you think he's an angel?" An Ran's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in disbelief, "Why do you think that? What he did was so weird, he must have ulterior motives when approaching you." !"

Anna's face turned ugly when she heard the words, she lowered her eyes unnaturally, and said in a low voice, "Before you guys came, I never noticed this, I just think he is so outstanding, so extraordinary, and looks so clean , so melancholy, completely like a noble... Why did such a person suddenly appear in our small town? And he stayed in the disaster, and tided over the difficulties with me..."

"I really couldn't help but think about it, you know, I was going crazy during that time... Can you feel the despair that is filled with screams and wailing in your ears every day? Can you imagine being busy every day? Are you tired and powerless between the stump and the blood?" When Anna said this, her whole body trembled, almost crying: "I am really afraid, I am afraid that I will be forgotten by the gods, and it will really become a complete joke ..."

"At this moment, he suddenly appeared. He was like a person from another world. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Of course, I would never fall in love with him. Except for God, I wouldn't love him." Fall in love with anyone." Anna said, shaking her head in pain: "But I found that I seemed to be wrong, he is indeed different, but this 'different' may lead to destruction in the end..."

"You should have suspected it from the time he started saying that he was not feeling well. How can it be so coincidental that you can't bear it after listening to a few hymns?" Seeing her pain and despair, An Ran quickly comforted her: "Anyway, you are now It would be great if you could recognize his true colors, and don't be fooled by him again."

Anna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, and said, "I wanted to give it a try last night, but I had an unpleasant encounter with him... Forget it, I can see what kind of person he is, and try again." what?"

"I'll make it clear to him in a while. If he has nothing else to do, let's leave the town as soon as possible. I can't get along with him anymore."

When she said that, An Ran of course agreed, but she was afraid that she would soften her heart when she saw Alan, or that Alan would become angry after hearing this, and be forced to do something unfavorable to her, so she hurriedly said: "You When do you go, I will accompany you!"

Anna shook her head and forced a smile: "No need, this is a matter between me and him, it's not good for you to interfere, don't worry about me, let's hurry up and think about the medicine that can cure Lan Xin."

An Ran hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Then... now that you see his face clearly, you won't trust him as blindly as before, will you?"

"Of course." Anna smiled: "Actually, I didn't trust him much before, mainly because when I thought that he might be a messenger sent by God to test me, I felt that everything he did was reasonable, so I forced myself not to Think about it so much, don't doubt him, but if you let go of this level of speculation, you will soon find that there are too many suspicious things about him..."

"Whether it's for the safety of the town or for myself, I have to stay away from him...Actually, I understand that no one can believe it, only I can't lie to myself..."

Seeing her depressed expression and forced smile, An Ran knew that despite what she said, she must still be full of despair and sadness deep in her heart. Just as she was about to comfort her, Xu Heng's shout came from the next room: "An Ran, An Ran Come on, Lan Xin is awake, I can't hold her down anymore!"

"I'll be right there!" An Ran said, and immediately rushed into the room where Xu Heng lived. Anna looked at his back, sighed helplessly, and stood there blankly, not thinking where to go. At that time, a familiar voice came from behind:

"Anna, I think we should talk." The owner of the voice said, "I know what you want."

"Her condition is getting worse..." An Ran and Xu Heng spent a lot of effort to tie Lan Xin back to the bed when she ran away again, but this time she did not calm down immediately, but continued like crazy. Struggling and shouting, looking carefully, her eyes were filled with tears of despair, and her throat let out mournful whimpers from time to time.

This mutation must be very painful...

An Ran gently opened her eyelids, and found that there was a faint blue light around the edge of the original black and bright eyeball.

"She has persisted for a long time..." Xu Heng swallowed with difficulty, and said weakly: "If I am a person with weak willpower, I will definitely change on the first day of being infected..."

"She won't mutate. We will definitely find a cure for her... There is still time." An Ran said with certainty.

Xu Heng asked: "Have you found the 'heart of a full stomach'?"

"I have some clues, now I have to wait for the blood moon to come..." After An Ran finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head, stepped to the window, and opened the curtains—as expected, a small black figure appeared among the flower beds. flashed by.

"Stop!" An Ran yelled, and jumped out through the window. After landing, before she could stand still, she ran after the place where the black shadow disappeared: "Who are you!"

"Hey, An Ran, what's the matter, what happened!" Xu Heng didn't react at all, he leaned over to the window and saw that An Ran had already chased into the cemetery, while the black shadow was bouncing around, appearing and disappearing from time to time, Although short, his skills are very light and vigorous.

"An Ran, he hid behind the tombstone!" Xu Heng watched the chase between the two, feeling extremely anxious, but even though the floor was not high, he didn't dare to jump down easily, let alone, he couldn't leave Lan Xin behind. One does not care.

Forget it, let's hurry up and find Xie Yi, knowing that An Ran ran away after others, he must be more anxious than anyone else.

Xu Heng stood at the door and yelled a few times: "Xie Yi, Xie Yi, come out quickly, An Ran ran away with someone!"

However, his voice was almost hoarse, and no one came out. As a last resort, he could only go to the next room to call for someone, but knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response. When he opened it, it was empty inside, and Xie Yi was not there at all. in the room.

Strange, where did Xie Yi go?

Not only Xie Yi, but also Anna and that little boy Ai Lun, why is no one missing?

Xu Heng murmured in his heart, walked to Alan's room on the other side, and knocked on the door: "Anna, Alan, are you in there?"

However, there was still no response from anyone in the house. He tried to push the door, but the door seemed to be locked from the inside, and he couldn't push it open at all.

Strange, is there anyone here?

Just when Xu Heng was in doubt, he only heard a "click", and the door was pulled open from the inside. Xie Yi looked at him with a serious expression, and asked, "Did you call me just now?"

"You, you..." Xu Heng pointed at him, then looked up at the house number to make sure that he was right, but isn't this the room where Alan and Anna live? Why is Xie Yi here?

Xie Yi seemed to have heard the question in his heart, and replied: "Just now I felt a powerful wave of magic power, and then came to check, but when they arrived, they had disappeared, and the magic teleportation array that was just completed remained on the ground... I sealed off the entire room, and it took a lot of effort to temporarily freeze the teleportation array, otherwise we will be drawn into the space-time rift."

"What?! Teleportation array? Space-time rift?" Xu Hengda was taken aback and couldn't speak fluently: "What the hell did the two of them do in the room? Where are they going?"

"The Land of the Gods." Xie Yi said, and took out a piece of white cloth. The cloth was obviously just torn from his clothes, and the edges were very uneven. There was a line of words written in charcoal on it:

"Alan will take me to the land of the gods, don't read it."

Signed is Anna.

"The hometown of the gods? Where is that?" Xu Heng took the cloth, with a confused expression on his face: "She just left as she said, I thought that after what happened yesterday, the relationship between her and Allen would be the same. will be distant."

"The Land of the Gods...it's probably equivalent to the Peach Blossom Spring in the real world. It's a carefree place blessed by the gods... It seems that we still underestimated her yearning for the gods and the kingdom of heaven. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will try..." Xie Yi said flatly: "Although we have intervened in this dungeon, history is still unchangeable, and she will eventually be lost in the secular world, step by step into the world carefully arranged by the devil. trap."

As Xie Yi said, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he changed the subject: "By the way, what did you call me just now? Who did An Ran run off with, please make it clear."

"Well, I didn't mean that!" Xu Heng shrank his neck and said weakly, "It's just that An Ran suddenly saw a suspicious figure just now, and then he jumped out of the window to chase after him. I don't know how it happened. Isn't this worrying that he is in danger?"

"Shadow..." Xie Yi was speaking when he saw An Ran running up panting, holding a piece of black rag in his hand.

"How, did you catch that person?" Xu Heng asked quickly.

"No." An Ran shook her head, leaned against the railing, struggled to calm her breathing, shook the rag in her hand, and said, "He ran too fast, and once he entered the cemetery, it was like a miracle. , As soon as I grabbed his clothes, this guy disappeared into the cemetery... I can't dig the graves one by one, and those townspeople have to burn me."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the white cloth strip in Xu Heng's hand, and asked strangely: "What are you holding? Why do I think it is so similar to Anna's clothes?"

"I think it's right, this is what Anna left." Xu Heng said, passing the cloth strip in his hand: "You can see for yourself, she and Alan ran away."

After watching An Ran, it was as if he had been struck by eighteen lightning bolts. He never expected that Anna told him just now that she was completely disappointed in Alan, and that she would not believe anyone but himself, and turned around and ran away with him. Oh, my God, what kind of tricks did that Alan play again? What kind of magical place is 'Land of the Gods'? Did Anna forgive Alan so easily in order to go there?

He subconsciously looked at Xie Yi, but Xie Yi just nodded lightly: "The teleportation array is still in Alan's room, they left not long ago."

"Come on, Anna is gone, and our clues have been cut off." Xu Heng sighed, not knowing what to do, when he suddenly saw several townspeople cheering and running into the monastery to greet those wounded lying on the ground who were unable to move. They said, "Those monsters are gone, whether it's the biting rats or the damn toads, they're all gone!"

"We can go out!" The people cheered: "We can go out to find food!"

If it wasn't for the wounds on their bodies that haven't healed, they would really be dancing amidst laughter. An Ran was watching this scene in doubt, when another townsman rushed in excitedly, shouting: "Go out and see, The church appeared, the church appeared!"

"Bishop Philip finally lifted the barrier! The church appeared in the east again!"

church? !

Anna's words and old Holt's words were circling in his mind, and the murals he had seen before also appeared in front of his eyes...

The enchantment of the church has never existed all the time... The only thing that was really sealed was the period of the mosaic!

Someone is lying.

Just as An Ran figured this out, the world started a new round of shocks. The twinkling stars fell down from the night sky one after another. The red fog became thicker and thicker, but the townspeople didn't realize it. Still laughing happily and screaming excitedly, of course, he didn't notice that he was gradually disappearing at this moment of surprise.

Time and space changed again, and the monastery under the blood moon was dilapidated. In the darkness, a short and distorted figure stood alone in the empty hall, looking up at them, his face obscured by the dim light.

"Hush—" he put a finger on his lips, and said mysteriously, "Listen, your friend is going to fall soon."

"Ah, ah—" Lan Xin screamed in pain, and when An Ran and the others rushed in, she had already broken free from the ropes tied to her body, clutching her stomach and rolling all over the floor.

"Lan Xin, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" An Ran quickly rushed up to hold her down, but she only got more fierce resistance. The strength of [Fighter's Gloves] doubled and the explosive power under extreme pain almost overwhelmed An Ran. Overturned, in the end it was Xie Yi who attached a layer of magic power to the rope to trap the crazy Lan Xin.

Looking at her now, the entire eyeballs are almost completely covered by blue light, only the pupils are still a little dark, and the lower abdomen is visibly swollen as if it is inflated, as if it will burst at any time.

"I can't wait any longer." An Ran said, grabbed the dagger and rushed out. Old Huo Te was still standing in the hall. When he saw An Ran, he laughed lowly: "It won't be long, after a while , your friend will turn into a monster dominated by the stomach, and she will eat you all..."

"You should worry about yourself." An Ran said, turned over, jumped off the second floor, and rushed towards him: "Unfortunately, you won't be able to see this scene, because I have already found the 'full belly' By'--"

"Since you said that His Majesty the Virgin Mary once entrusted you with such a sacred task...then, please do something for us!" An Ran stabbed forward, but he dodged it flexibly. The blurry black image was Lurking around An Ran like a ghost, he clenched his dagger tightly, looked around, and said loudly:

"Since you admire His Royal Highness Santa Ana and know that she wants to entrust this task to us, why did you lie to us?"

"Obviously, the barrier outside the church has not always existed. Before the flood in the town, Bishop Philip once opened the barrier for a short period of time... You must have escaped at that time! The person who peeped at Anna Dao’s gaze is yours! No wonder you know so clearly about the things between her and Allen, and you have been following them, your psychology is perverted enough!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The hoarse voice of old Huo Te suddenly appeared behind him, An Ran immediately turned around and stabbed, but missed again, the opponent's figure was exceptionally flexible, and had already disappeared into the darkness.

"She was deceived by that damned demon! If she knew that Alan was a demon, she would definitely not go with him!" Old Holt roared in the dark: "She was just lonely for too long, and she was too afraid of being rejected by the gods That's all!"

"Since you know that Alan is a demon, why didn't you tell Anna directly, but followed her and Alan all the time? I think you are the one who makes her uneasy?" Except for a knife that scratched his face, everything else was shot empty.

"You were not trapped in the gap between the barrier until after the blood moon... There is no such thing as Anna rescued you after she was proclaimed holy. You escaped by yourself during the time when Bishop Philip opened the barrier. And never told Anna, she thought you were still in the church—please tell me, why did Anna entrust you with the task of delivering the letter? You said that Alan cheated on her every day, and why did you, a voyeur, get Anna's trust?!"

"I'm not a peeping tom!" Old Holt roared, and rushed towards An Ran. An Ran just wanted to provoke him deliberately, lure him out of the darkness, and seeing him take the bait, she couldn't wish more, and immediately grabbed his clothes , he sent his right hand forward, and it just pierced into his chest, but what An Ran didn't expect was that just as he pulled out the dagger, his hand suddenly lightened, and when he looked again, there was only a tattered dagger left Old Holt had disappeared.

He looked down in surprise, but caught a section of snake tail with strange markings...

"You are, you are..."

An Ran was taken aback by the snake tail, and by the time she realized it, it had already nimbly swam into the boundless darkness.

"We have seen it before, the devil snake, transformed by the soul of a sinner." Xie Yi came down from the stairs, grabbed it with five fingers, and a big snake flew into his palm from the darkness.

"It seems that he is still living in a dream, thinking that he survived by eating the sacrament bread and became the only survivor in the town... But the fact is that although he ate the sacrament bread, he did not die of hunger. In the midst of a catastrophe, he died under the pressure of the inner and outer barriers of the holy power..." Xie Yi pinched the seven inches of the still struggling big snake, and sneered: "Why was it saved by the Holy Mother? Because the mission she gave has been waiting here for many years... it is just his fantasy, Santa Anna probably has forgotten about this person long ago."

An Ran looked at the big snake, hesitated and didn't know what to do, Xie Yi said: "Just cut it open, we will get what we want."

An Ran nodded, and slashed the big snake's belly from top to bottom, a burst of dark green light flashed, only heard two "hissing", the big snake froze, stopped struggling, Xie Yi gently Letting go of his hand, it fell to the ground, motionless, only the wound in the abdomen slowly oozing blood.

"Heart of a full eater..." An Ran peeled open the snake's belly, groped inside with difficulty, and found a bead. He took it out and saw that it was faintly glowing red.

"This is the heart of a full eater, just let Lan Xin swallow it later." Xie Yi nodded and said, "Look again, what else is inside?"

"What else? It's gone..." Although An Ran said this, he still obediently touched it again. When he touched a place, he frowned. When he took it out, it turned out to be a blood-stained blade. He wiped the blood on the blade with his sleeve, his eyes widened in surprise——

"Look, there are words engraved on the blade!"
