Start Cthulhu with priest

A week after the rise of the blood moon.

The gate of Yue Chung City.

A convoy of cars and armored vehicles, transporting supplies and residents, drove out of the city in an orderly manner.

Although people's faces are full of reluctance, confusion, anxiety, pain and sorrow, they also carry hope for the future, as well as vigorous vitality and vitality.

This is the first step in the relocation and reconstruction plan of Yuechong City.

Yes, Yue Chung City is about to relocate from its original urban area to other areas that are more suitable for living.

the reason is simple.

Even the greatest crisis is destroyed in the hands of An Le.

But the mysterious fog is still expanding at an unhurried speed, and it is difficult to eliminate it by conventional means.

The Yueyong City Security Department, which was already seriously injured, could not find the source of the mist.

As a result, a restricted area made of fog is appearing.

Apart from this point, the more critical reason is - the collapse of the city wall!

Under the city wall of Yue Chung City, part of the power of the moon is sealed, which is also the origin of its name "Yue Chung".

To Yuechong City, the city wall is like a protective umbrella, which can resist the invasion from the wilderness and also resist the invasion of those indescribable monsters.

Today, only two of the five walls remain.

The power of the blood moon returned to Mingyue, and most of it was destroyed.

The original enchantment was destroyed, and its protective effect was naturally not as good as before.

In fact, the method of sealing the blood moon itself is taboo and evil, but those past events are sealed in the ashes of history, and no one knows about them.

——The knowledge itself is poisonous.

——Just reading and disseminating it will cause no small disaster.

The power of the blood moon itself has the characteristic of curse.

Now that the balance is broken, even if there are no external factors, the remaining city walls will gradually become a source of pollution, bringing about a strange and terrifying crisis.

simply put.

Yuechong City is slowly becoming an area unsuitable for people to live in, so relocation and reconstruction are imperative.

Of course, this process cannot be completed overnight.

The Security Division will complete the construction of the new urban area and the relocation of residents in batches.

Kota and the group he led were the first batch of executive members of the reconstruction plan.

Kota glanced around and sighed: "It's really... a bit shabby."

The number of Transcendents nearby is very rare.

There are very few who are stronger than Kota.

Moreover, most of the people looked sluggish and pale. This was because they hadn't completely got rid of the pollution that day. Coupled with the infestation of the wilderness atmosphere, it caused many complications.

But compared with those who are dead or crazy, they are undoubtedly luckier.

At least, they still have a bright future.

Moon Chung City has indeed won.

There is no doubt that this is a miserable victory.

A large number of residents and transcendents died in this incident. Due to the large number, the Security Department has not yet counted the specific number until today.

Take the sacrifice of the superhumans as an example, 4 B-level superhumans are missing, 2 are seriously injured, and 3 are undergoing spiritual treatment.

32 C-level transcendents are missing.

As for the number of D-level extraordinary people and E-level extraordinary people, there are too many to count.

Due to the devouring properties of filthy flesh and the burning of flames, most of the victims could not find a complete body, only... burnt dust?

The so-called "disappearance" is just a nice way of saying it.

The casualties caused by this incident were the worst in Yuechong City in the past century.

It is normal for the nearby Transcendents to be so withered and rare.

"Leader Guang."

Chen Ye, who was in the group, suddenly asked, "Why is the underground library downstairs of the Security Department...closed?"

Kota responded casually: "It seems that there is something wrong with the extraordinary relic [mysterious door mirror]?"

Fumino Asuka interjected, "I know about this."

"It seems to have disappeared, and it also took away a lot of books containing forbidden knowledge."

"Um?"

Both Chen Ye and Guangtai raised their eyebrows. They had long realized that reading makes people happy, and knowledge changes one's destiny!

Especially these days, after realizing their own weakness, the two people's need for forbidden knowledge is increasing day by day.

but now……

The extraordinary relic absconded with the giant book?

There is such a thing?

However, compared to their recent experience, this is at best a blip.

If the book is gone, you can find it again, but if the person is gone... it is really gone.

It's hard for Guangtai not to think of that former fellow, that face not inferior to him, that kind and gentle smile.

"You said... relieving him, is he really dead?"

he murmured.

Chen Ye's expression darkened, but he still sighed, "Group Leader Guang, you've asked this question no less than ten times."

"Didn't Minister Yi use extraordinary relics to find his location?"

"The result is already very clear."

"Since it cannot be locked, it means that he probably became a part of those dust."

Kota nodded and said, "I know, but... I still can't believe it?"

"Too sudden and unreasonable."

"If I really want to say it, I feel that even if we all die, An Le shouldn't..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall the bright flames he saw on An Le.

After learning what happened from Yi Shuang, Guangtai realized how cruel and dangerous reality is when he is in a dream.

It was not difficult for him to guess that it was An Le who saved Yuesong City, which was supposed to be completely destroyed, in some taboo way.

"..."

The team members were silent, did not speak, and the atmosphere was low.

In the end, it was Fumino Asuka who showed an ugly wry smile: "No matter what, life must go on."

"Maybe he is looking at us and giggling somewhere?"

*****

In the team of extraordinary people.

"Big (meow) grandma (meow) cow, you're here too?"

The petite silver-haired young girl said in amazement, still not forgetting to be as yin and yang as usual.

"Didn't you say that you would stay in your bar for the rest of your life?"

Bloody Whiskey was wearing sports-friendly clothes, which slightly covered up the turbulent waves (meow) in front of her eyes. She looked down at Iya: "You short-legged carrot!"

Suddenly called her a short-legged radish!

Yiya's little face turned red in an instant, like an angry red carrot head: "Did you forget? I have your dirty stuff in my hand!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, you can post it if you want, anyway, no one will care now."

Bloody Whiskey smiled heartily.

Aiya was slightly taken aback, and found that it was indeed the case.

She can't threaten this stinky woman anymore?

"Big (meow) milk (meow) cow!"

"Little radish essence!"

"Big (meow) milk (meow) cow!"

"Short-legged white-haired radish!"

"..."

This kind of quarrel-like conversation between elementary school students went on for a while, causing others to stare at them with strange eyes.

"Ah, I'm so mad!"

In the end, Yiya was thin-skinned, and she was even more shy when surrounded by crowds. She wished she could get into the cracks in the ground and admit defeat first.

"My bartenders, treasured wines, and guests are basically gone. Why am I still there?"

At this moment, Bloody Whiskey spoke rather disappointedly.

Yiya was slightly silent, as if she wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't hold back her face.

"I'm not such a fragile person."

Bloody Whiskey suddenly smiled with relief: "It's a big deal to start all over again."

Yaya nodded: "Well, that's true."

"Hey, let me say... If the new Yuechong City is rebuilt, my bar will reopen."

Bloody Whiskey curled the hair around her ears with her fingers, and her eyes drifted to the side, as if she was a little embarrassed, she said.

"Would you...would you like to work here?"

Aiya smiled slightly: "Of course."

"Hmph, I really can't do anything about you. Since you've asked me like this, I have no choice but to agree to it~"

"Hey, don't talk like I'm begging you!"

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"You say yes..."

*****

In the dilapidated urban area of ​​Yue Chung City.

Many houses collapsed.

Or distorted into a strange image, some parts shrink or expand unnaturally.

Or, like being bitten and corroded, there are large and small gaps left, like the wood that was nested by termites.

This is the joint result of bloody moonlight and dirty flesh and blood.

However, after these houses were taken away of their valuable existence, they were left alone, and they were placed in place in a distorted posture.

After all, Yuechong City is going to be relocated as a whole now.

Such a house also loses its living value, and there is no need to spend manpower and material resources on rebuilding.

Probably in a few decades, someone will come to the ruins of this city, see these strange buildings, and mistakenly think that this is a place for worshiping evil gods, right?

And in the corner of a house.

Asakawa Yumeno is carefully observing the surroundings.

He also became a member of the Guard Division, responsible for extracting the residual value of these houses.

After surviving that incident by luck, Asakawa Mengye finally got rid of the Mist Sect and could start his life again.

He cherishes such a life.

As long as he saves enough money and cures his mother's illness, Asakawa Mengye will be happy enough.

The only regret is that Chaochuan Mengye did not see the black-robed priest again, and it seemed that he did not help him.

He felt a little guilty, as if he had failed to keep some kind of agreement.

"Huh? This is..."

Asakawa Yumeno suddenly lowered his head.

In the gap between the floor and the stone bricks, there is a faint blood-colored fluorescence.

Like... the light of the moon?

*****

On the wasteland not far from the convoy.

Ren Ye turned his head and looked at Yueyong City, where he had lived for several years, with a look of emotion.

Today, he was leaving here, and he didn't know if he could return.

After handing over the fragments of the blood sacred artifact to the black-robed priest, Ren Ye really got rid of the pursuit of those B-level extraordinary people and survived successfully.

Even if he was seriously injured because of this, Yuanyuan would suffer a loss.

But from another point of view, Ren Ye also touched an opportunity to break through by one or two points. He felt that he might be able to go to a higher level because of this.

Breaking through the crisis of life and death, maybe this is the privilege of a genius?

In addition, the gray blood organization in Yue Chung City seems to have known the news in advance, and they do not know when to evacuate from Yue Chung City.

Even the bloody underground arena outside the city was directly abandoned.

Therefore, Ren Ye made a decision.

He is going to other cities to continue the mission of destroying the Gray Blood Organization.

"Goodbye, Yuechong City."

After a sigh, Ren Ye's figure gradually turned into an insignificant dot on the wasteland.

*****

*****

*****

Here, like a deep sea.

There is no light, no sound, no smell... Even the sense of existence is so thin, as if it is just a drop of sea water.

Time and space lost their original meaning in this deep sea.

But within it, there is still a blur of things, struggling with all their strength to get rid of the control of the sea water.

It's like a ripple, even though it's inconspicuous, it still exists.

The ripples are swaying, floating, and swimming...

I don't know how long it has passed, but for Ripple itself, it seems like a time enough to forget everything.

But this time, something seems different.

Sporadic points of light, born from indescribable mysterious circumstances, are like the falling of stars from the sky, or the falling of whales in the ocean—when a whale dies, its body will fall to the bottom of the sea and become the nourishment of countless creatures. Call it "whale fall."

Spots of light descended on the ripples and then merged into them.

then.

An Le opened his eyes.

In front of him is the towering, majestic dome, so high that the eyes can't touch the top, only the deep darkness can be seen.

But the eyes moved aside, the weird and grotesque murals, the gray walls...these were all the same as the church in An Le's impression.

But the difference is.

An Le saw it.

On the grounds of the church, there were piles of... corpses.

One after another, one after another, the height of the accumulation makes An Le only look up.

Some of their bodies are rotting, and fetid pus is flowing wantonly.

Some are riddled with holes, as if they have been pierced through their bodies by countless sharp knives.

Some bodies were truncated down the middle, and the intestines and internal organs flowed out along the cross section.

There are also purple complexions and a pungent stench...

Without exception.

These corpses were all dressed in black robes, and... had exactly the same face as An Le.

'Or, they are me? '

The corpses piled up like a mountain should have been completely decomposed long ago and turned into bones, but they miraculously stayed at the moment of death.

How dirty and weird this is, it will only make ordinary people uneasy, panic, and even crazy.

An Le witnessed this horrific scene, but there was no disturbance in her heart, but she was extremely calm.

It's like... He has seen this kind of scene hundreds of times?

Following the instinct in his heart, An Le began to climb this "corpse mountain" on foot.

The pile of corpses was like a pyramid, and on the top of that tower, there was something he wanted to find.

"Squeak—"

Footsteps on different corpses make uncomfortable sounds.

And when they realize that they all have the same face as themselves, normal people will have emotions of resistance, resistance, and fear.

But Anle didn't.

These strange corpses seemed to be just his stepping stones, helping him climb to the top of the mountain.

Along the way, An Le accidentally stepped on the torsos of two or three corpses, crushing the fragile bones.

An Le, with only his head left, rolled down the hillside.

An Le was indifferent to this and just climbed up silently.

I don't know how long it took to climb.

Finally, he came to the top of the mountain of corpses.

In the center of many wreckages, there is a charred skeleton.

There are even faint flames that burst out from time to time.

An Le walked towards the corpse, and saw that there were still two flames in its eye sockets that had not been extinguished.

As An Le approached, only some unspeakable emotions appeared on his scorched face.

A voice sounded from the bottom of An Le's heart.

"This is... the last time."

subsequently.

Bright flames ignited from the corpse, and spread to the surroundings extremely quickly, so that it seemed that only a second passed, and the entire mountain of corpses was ignited.

An Le closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a familiar voice came from her ears.

"Father An, welcome back."

Sister Serene was kneeling in front of him with a respectful and cold expression.

Listening to this sentence at this time, it seems to have a different meaning.

But An Le didn't care, just smiled: "Well, I'm back."

A moment of astonishment appeared on Sai Leiqiao's face, but she quickly suppressed it.

An Le smiled: "It's time...to start work!"

With a thought, he summoned all the employees recruited in Yuechong City, such as Chen Ye, Guangtai, Lisa, Ren Ye, etc., and arranged work tasks one by one. By the way, he learned about the current situation of Yuechong City from their mouths and panels. .

"Huh? Yueyong City has moved?"

"Guangtai and Chen Ye have both been promoted?"

"Ren Ye got lost in the wasteland?"

Looking at these messages, An Le was quite emotional: 'I feel like I just fell asleep, why does it feel like the sky has changed? '

What surprised An Le the most was that Lisa actually became a C-level transcendent!

You know, she was originally an ordinary person, but her soul was special.

Now directly to the C level, it can be called a leap forward.

As far as Lisa herself said, this is the residual effect of the bloodline of the pro-shade relationship.

That sadhana did not actually fail completely.

Since Edward can use the body of his children as a container to absorb different abilities, there is no reason why Lisa cannot reversely absorb part of Edward's power.

Even if it wasn't Lisa's original intention, after Edward and her brothers and sisters died, part of that huge power entered her body and hid in her body.

As far as Lisa's diagnosis report from the Security Department is concerned, grade C...isn't her limit!

When she adapts to her current strength, she is more likely to be directly promoted to B rank.

This speed is about to hang up, which makes An Le a little jealous.

With his own hard work and a little help from the church, he was able to reach the C level.

But An Le is also very happy. As for the employees, the more capable the better.

The more capable the employee is, the more the boss earns.

Isn't this equivalent to picking up a six-star operator for nothing?

He said in his heart: 'You did a good job! You are doing well! '

'Lisa, I like you very much. '

‘Keep working hard and strive to become the pillar of the company! '

And soon.

An Le also found that there was a faint phantom in the church.

Her body was adorned with a large number of feathers and silverware, her appearance was barely delicate, but her mysterious aura was unique.

Isn't this just a psychic?

'It actually works. '

An Le herself was a little surprised.

When the psychic medium was about to disappear, An Le tried to stab her body with tentacles. It was just an attempt, but unexpectedly, she was pulled into the company and forced to sign the contract.

But now she is in a dormant state, and she seems unable to wake up in a short time.

After inspecting the familiar and kind employees, An Le is ready to return to reality.

Damn, overestimate yourself!

The temperature is cooling down today, everyone remember to wear more clothes, don't catch a cold like me.
