moon shot plan

This is the day for tears—

The dead will rise from the ashes,

Sinners are to be condemned.

Snowflakes fluttered in the air, the requiem mass had just ended, and the small town was still echoing with faint singing.

"Anna! Anna! I have something to tell you!" The young boy chased after her and shouted, "Hey! Why don't you think about me?"

The girl in front did not answer, she turned her face coldly, dismissing the infatuated suitor.The fluttering snowflakes fell on the blond hair on her shoulders, like a thin layer of smoke, and also like a layer of faint starlight, making her look even more unworldly and floating.

"Anna!" The young man couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hand to grab her arm. The girl frowned disgustedly, threw him away, and ran forward. The faster the young man chased her, the faster she ran. Suddenly, she bumped into someone——

It was a very weird young man. She was sure that she had never seen this man in the town, but that slightly immature face gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and even gave her a desire to get close.

Strange, how could she have such thoughts about a strange man?

She took a deep look at that person again, and the confusion in her heart was still there, when she saw that annoying young man chasing him again, she quickly turned and left, and disappeared into the wind and snow.

where is this?

"...traveling in the blood moon world, if you let the light return to the human world...you can return to the real world, otherwise...you will lose yourself in this ominous moonlight, and you will never find your way back..."

Lock points...

10 locked points...

Is all this a scheme of the lust demon king?

From the plastic surgery hospital all the way to the last dungeon... She deliberately let herself win, and then sent unusable locked points, step by step, just to drag herself into the even more terrifying blood moon world?

What is she... for?

This is the blood moon world?

An Ran looked around, but found that the surroundings were some low medieval-style huts, which were densely connected into one piece, with a few faint blue lights shining in the distance. The water is shining, reflecting the starlight in the sky.

The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of wind blowing and snow falling could be heard, except for the young couple just now, An Ran hadn't seen anyone else yet.

I really can't believe it, is this the Blood Moon World?

It is worth mentioning that, I don’t know if it is necessary to adapt to the dungeon. The original modern clothes on him have been replaced by the game system with medieval-style clothes. Now he is dressed as a hunter with boots and a cape, and his dagger is Don't wear it on your waist, you don't need to summon it in your mind to use it.

An Ran rummaged through his equipment again, and even took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. After he finally unfolded it, he found that it turned out to be an invitation letter——

[To dear players:

You from another world, welcome to the kingdom dominated by demons!

Farewell to the twinkling stars,

Quickly fall asleep in the nightmare!

Ye Xiao's strange smile tore through the sky,

Sounded the death knell of reincarnation!

With all glory, we proclaim to all beings:

The stars are falling, and the blood moon is in the sky!

This is a devil's game. As the chosen lucky one, you can choose to resist, eliminate the evil, and wait for the dawn; or simply sink and revel in the nightmare forever?

Demons have come on stage, brave and wise demon hunters, make your choice! 】

"A country ruled by demons"..."Reincarnation"..."Blood Moon"...

An Ran scratched his head, completely puzzled in his heart, he turned over the letter paper, and found that there was a paragraph behind:

【I am a monster ruled by my stomach,

Even after eating your own body,

Still feeling hungry.

I searched frantically and chewed desperately.

Hunger, hunger, this is the pain that torments me day and night,

Can your flesh and blood satisfy me? 】

Seeing these crazy words, An Ran couldn't help but shudder——

He immediately thought of everything he experienced in the copy of the plastic surgery hospital before, those greedy and cruel gluttons, the bloody and fragrant midnight feast...

What do these words imply?Is this a copy of the Gluttonous Demon King?

An Ran looked around vigilantly, but everything seemed to be peaceful. The town shrouded in starlight was lazily drifting with snow. Apart from the gloomy tone, there was still a hint of tranquility and peace.

An Ran was full of doubts, staring at the invitation letter in his hand, at a loss, and read the front and back several times but still didn't see why. Now he almost suspected that the girl who just bumped into him was a hallucination, because the street Now there is only a chilly wind, and the second figure can't be seen at all. Of course, it's hard to say whether the figure seen in the dungeon of the devil is human.

"The lucky one who was called"...was he the only one who was tricked in by the lustful demon king, or did many people enter the blood moon world?

Are there any other players here?

And... Xie Yi...

As soon as this name appeared in his mind, An Ran quickly shook his head, not daring to think about it any longer. They had already met in three copies in a row. How could it be possible to be so lucky that they would meet every time?

In addition, it is hard to say whether it is lucky to meet in the dungeon of the devil...

[The devil has already appeared, brave and wise demon hunter, make your choice! 】

An Ran stared at this sentence, and frowned deeply—the devil has already appeared?He is a "demon hunter", does this represent an identity or a camp?Where are the so-called demons?

An Ran was wondering, when he suddenly heard a vague conversation coming from the corner of the street, he quickly turned sideways and hid by the wall, with his right hand on the dagger in case of accident.

There were quite a few people who came over. They were all wearing gray robes, most of them wore crosses and rosary beads, and their expressions were a little dull. At first glance, it looks ordinary, but it reveals a strong sense of disobedience.

An Ran didn't figure it out clearly, and didn't dare to scare the snake. He tried to cling to the wall to reduce the sense of presence, and listened intently——

"The choir trained by Bishop Philip is really extraordinary! This is the best requiem I have ever seen!" A person gathered his gray cloak, hoping to slightly resist the wind and snow blowing in front of him.

His friend laughed at him: "How many mass gatherings have you attended? Isn't this the first time in our town?"

The man laughed: "That's right, isn't this the first time something like this has happened in our town? If it wasn't for suicide, the bishop would never have done a mass for them."

"Those guys are just a bunch of dumb kids, aren't they? Forgive me for being blunt, but they did kill themselves—just for a woman." He winked at his friend.

"Women are all sinful. Her beautiful skin has long been occupied by evil spirits. Now she is just a witch who seduces people." His friend curled her lips in disdain, unwilling to talk more.

"I don't think she was taken over by a witch, she was a witch from birth - it was she who cast spells to blind her parents, making them think that an angel had come; ...she is the biggest scourge in town!"

"The reason why those young people committed suicide one after another is not all because of her. It is she who gathered these people around with sweet words, cast magic to confuse their minds, and when they were deeply involved, they immediately changed. Look, push these poor souls who have been sucked far away..."

"She is the culprit who caused those youths to commit suicide! This cruel, vicious, terrible woman!"

His voice suddenly became louder, as if raising his arms, and the others echoed, "Yes, she is the witch hiding in the crowd! For a long time, she has been using magic to deceive us, and she has also deceived us. cheated the bishop, cheated the church!"

"We must expose her crimes to Bishop Philip! Get justice for those youths who died in vain!"

"Blood debt paid in blood! Blood debt paid in blood!" The more they talked, the more excited they became, and finally they simply turned back, An Ran looked far away in the direction they left, and could faintly glimpse a towering spire.

The place they went to was... a church?

An Ran leaned against the wall, carefully recollecting what those people had just talked about—

"It was she who cast spells to blind her parents' eyes, making them mistakenly think that an angel had come; she forged oracles, and spread the lie that she was about to give birth to a son of God..."

"She is the culprit who caused those youths to commit suicide..."

"She is the witch hiding in the crowd..."

This, this story—

He thought of the endless colorful murals, the misty white dress, the purple flames, and the person who smiled at him while explaining to him...

"One day, a baby girl was born in a remote town. As soon as she was born, an angel of holy light descended from the sky, pointing at her and saying: 'You have a pure and pure body, and you should give birth to the offspring of the gods'; His parents said: 'You should name her Anna, and she will be sanctified after her son.'”

……

"The baby at that time grew into a beautiful girl. Countless people admired her charm and pursued her crazily. Although she did not receive the oracle for a long time, she kept in mind the angel's prophecy and insisted on remaining chaste and pure. body, all of them rejected their marriage proposals."

"The frustrated suitors were all hopeless. They couldn't accept her cold response, couldn't understand her fantasy of God, and committed suicide in front of her, blood staining her white clothes."

……

The baby girl born in the golden light and the angel who spoke the prophecy...

The girl who kept the festival for the god and the suitors who committed suicide under her skirt...

The more An Ran thought about it, the more amazed he became, he finally figured out what the scenes he had just seen were all about!

That was all before Anna was sanctified?

So the girl in white who bumped into him in the first place was Santa Ana?

According to those believers who slandered her just now, it is not difficult to guess where the story has developed——

"Because of confusing the young people in the town and causing them to commit suicide, Anna was rejected by the townspeople. They reported to the local church, hoping to execute her as a witch..."

God!This should be the copy of the Blood Moon of the Gluttonous Demon King, why is there a legend about the Holy See?

What is the use of this setting?

An Ran was really puzzled—he had been in the game for so long, and just witnessed a historic scene for the Blood Moon World, but the game system hadn't even prompted him the basic information of this dungeon!

So what is the mission?Is there a time limit?Is it a knockout match, and what are the rewards and punishments?

None of this was said.

An Ran suddenly felt a panic, panic about the unknown.

In the end how to do to leave this copy?

Could it be that he stood firmly on Santa Anna's side, stood up bravely when she was slandered by those foolish people, and stood up for justice for her?

But even if he didn't show up, according to the historical process of the Blood Moon World, she could have saved herself from danger, was rescued by the oracle at a critical moment, and then reached the pinnacle of her life!

The dungeon shouldn't require him to do anything extra, right?

What will be his mission?

An Ran took out the invitation letter again, and re-read it word by word——

"Brave and wise witcher..."

witcher.

An Ran's gaze finally stopped on these three words.

So his mission should be to hunt demons?

Where is the "magic"?

An Ran covered her head and recalled carefully, where did the devil appear in the story of Anna's sanctification...

The demon king born from the abyss?

No, not him, that was many years later...

By the way, those two murals that were mosaiced!

The Virgin behind the two murals is covered in blood. Xie Yi told him, "Anna was deceived by the devil when she was a nun. When she was desperate and about to commit suicide, the dawn shone on her, and she was inspired to conceive. ..."

Deceived by the devil, cornered!

An Ran's spirit was shaken, and his eyes immediately lit up—could it be that his task was to get rid of this demon who was about to deceive Anna?Or fight alongside Santa Ana, hunting demons in the dead of night?

An Ran thought she had figured out the mission, and hurriedly got up to find Anna, but in the snow, the beautiful girl had long since disappeared, and after the townspeople flocked to the church, the streets were deserted.

An Ran turned around several alleys before seeing a burly man dressed in rags. He held a hammer in one hand and pressed a broken stone tablet with the other. He looked like a mason.

It's just that the stone tablet is too dilapidated, and it seems that there are many messy nicks on it.

An Ran looked at it suspiciously for a while, but didn't move any further. The man sensed the gaze from his body, raised his head and grinned at him: "What are you looking at, a foreigner?"

"...I, I'm watching..." Seeing that he didn't seem to be hostile, An Ran boldly asked, "What are you doing? Why are you knocking on this stele?"

The stonemason laughed twice, and said inexplicably, "Today is the day when the dead are resurrected and sinners are judged. Of course, things from the past should no longer stand."

An Ran was perplexed. He put his eyes on the tattered stone tablet again, but he suddenly found that those scratches were not irregular at all. Although they were worn out, they could still be vaguely recognized if they were carefully distinguished. The engraved three words——

Church Town!

The name—

There was a loud bang, the hammer fell heavily, and the broken stones splashed everywhere. The stonemason gave a "hush" to stop him from continuing, and laughed himself:

"Welcome to Easter Town, Outlander."
