Twilight.

After the disaster of the withering of the eldest son, on the 30th day of dew, the rain of blood came.

At first, when the clouds first overwhelmed the city, everyone thought it was just another rainstorm, but everyone was wrong.

Overhead, the gloom of the sky rolled overhead, piercing through the gray curtain and pressing into the sky above Twilight City, which was a little frighteningly close.

These gloom clouds are not cumulonimbus clouds, but blood clouds! Because it is too large, the sunlight is difficult to penetrate, and it looks almost black, but in fact, the clouds are full of fine blood beads tumbling, like a hell of a nose.

In the early morning, the city was ravaged by a rain of blood.

Blood stained every inch of the land, making scarlet the dominant color here.

At first, the blood rain only contaminated the dry food that was exposed to the outside, and there was no corrosive feeling when it fell on the skin, and it seemed to be countless times softer than the previous disaster.

But everyone forgets that the seven calamities of heavenly damnation are interlocked, and they cannot be singled out, and the prophecy of the blood rain before and after the blood rain is that the curse of withering will befall the eldest son, and the sky will rain blood, and the dead will reappear in the world.

The day before, except for the refuge sheltered by Lu Yu, all the parents and children withered.

Because of the poor conditions during the disaster, the bodies of the eldest sons could only be hastily buried amid the cries of their relatives, and some of them were exposed in the accumulation area before they had time to dispose of them.

After the rain of blood, scarlet blood fell on the corpses, and some force that mortals could not understand brought evil vitality to them, and one corpse after another twisted and crawled...

The dead, back to the world!

By this time, the various shelters had become a mess, and the soldiers and civilians were all surrounded by resurrected corpses.

The corpses were pale, their eyes were hollow and bloodshot, and they were haunted by some kind of strange scarlet energy, and their sharp teeth grew wildly in their mouths, and their hands with sharp nails were stretched out to attack the defenders from all directions.

Twilight City was completely sunk in the light of swords and blood, houses toppled, wreckage was scattered, shrill cries and cries tore through the sky, and the soldiers used their crossbows to the extreme, shooting the corpses that stood up into hedgehogs, but they could only watch in despair as they could not fall.

Because the attack happened so suddenly, the command system of the various refuge points was completely chaotic, the officers could not find their subordinates, the soldiers could not find their superiors, and they could only communicate with each other by sound, shouting hoarsely one by one, but in front of the sea of corpses, it was tantamount to a few faint splashes.

The nerves of the soldiers were already tense to the extreme, and the resurrected corpses could rush out of every corner and shadow around them, and crossbow arrows rained down on them, piercing through the bloody holes, but after a volley, they would continue to approach the position with a full scarlet.

What's even more desperate is that this kind of corpse has no weaknesses, it seems that every cell in the body is independent, without central nervous system control, even if it is a headshot, it can continue to act.

For ordinary soldiers, there is no way to completely stop the corpses, even if their limbs are cut off and their heads are cut off, those detached limbs will crawl to the ground.

All they could do was delay the attack of the corpses as long as possible, and then wait for the Grim Reaper to come.

In the sky above a refuge point, just as the soldiers were about to lose their hold, the Grim Reaper soared by, and the raging tide of telekinetic power surged through the position like a tsunami, and all the corpses swept by the huge wave flew into the air.

Conspicuous green tendons appeared on the back of Chino's hand, and with a sudden retraction, the corpse gathered together from all directions, twisted and shattered under the weight, and even the physiological density was changed, and the volume quickly shrank.

In the end, hundreds of corpses were squeezed into a ball of high-density flesh, and they fell heavily from the air to the ground, and finally stopped moving.

This process was repeated, and Chino rushed back and forth in 12 refuge points to help, disposing of all the corpses in this way, Rao was the awe-inspiring Grim Reaper, and under this high-intensity battle, his physical strength was almost drained, and he collapsed for a while.

The battle was over, and the corpses rose through the rain of blood, and it was already night.

After such a whole day, because Chino rushed back and forth to help in the refuge point, the respect value in the triple shackles rose by nearly 400,000, and the awe value also increased by more than 200,000.

And because of the inevitable use of the Grim Reaper's claws during the battle, constantly triggering the Shadow of the Grim Reaper, Chino gained the most fear points, more than 600,000.

When Chino was resting at the refuge point, Lu Yutian finally woke up, he found Chino, and gave a final warning: "The earthquake shook the mountain, the storm destroyed the city, and then the sky was covered with dust, and the curse of withering fell on the eldest son, and the sky rained blood, and the dead reappeared in the world, until all things were annihilated... The six plagues have passed, and when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be annihilated, and all life in the city will be reduced to ashes, including me, including you. ”

Chino: "How much time do you need to set up?" ”

Lu Yu thought that Chino had finally figured it out, and hurriedly said, "2 hours at most!" ”

Chino took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and said lightly: "Sunrise is 5:30, and now it's 23:43, plus the 2 hours of arrangement, isn't there still a lot of time?" ”

Lu Yutian was very angry: "You have to rush to the last bit of time, don't you shed tears when you don't see the coffin?!" ”

Chino: "I said, I have something to confirm with my own eyes." ”

Lu Yutian took a deep breath, and didn't want to quarrel with Chino, so he left angrily.

The hour hand crosses 24 o'clock, the dew season is quietly gone, and the language of flowers comes.

It's the 1st day of Flower Language, which is supposed to be the season of laurel blooming, but at this time, there is no fragrance of flowers in Twilight City, only the ubiquitous smell of blood.

Chino thought back to the calendar, the winter clothes were left on the 27th, 4 days ago, the appointed time was full, and she didn't seem to be able to complete the task.

It seems that a new cat is going to be found.

It's a bit melancholy to think about...

...

The hour hand turns to 3:00, and there are still more than 2 hours before sunrise.

The civilians who have survived the six plagues are exhausted.

The old people knelt on the ground, closed their eyes and kept praying to the gods for the disaster to end as soon as possible.

Parents hugged their red-eyed children tightly and pressed their chin against their little heads, for fear that they would be hurt a little.

There are even many strangers who hug each other at this time, whispering softly, giving each other a little comfort.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and natural disasters treat everyone equally, and will not be partial because of prayer or mercy.

But that's the only thing civilians can do right now...

Just as Chino watched the hour hand turn, the familiar sound of the floor was heard, which he would hear every day when he teased the cat in his room.

Chino looked up ahead...

The little black cat is back.

It lost its former elegance, its body was covered with blood, stained with fishy mud and desert flying sand, the silky fur was coagulated into a handful of blood clots, sticky, and although the gaps in the side ribs had been medicated, they had not healed because of long-term running, and even had serious infections, inflammation, and suppuration, and even a small piece of the ear was missing.

No one knows how tiring and painful it is.

The little black cat limped back to its owner, its mouth loosened, and the bloodstained "Breaking the Law Sutra" fell to the ground, and it also fell at the same time, dying, its breath was as thin as a cicada's wings, and its tongue was weakly outside, vaguely only breathing out, not in.

Chino stretched out his hand, put the filthy little black cat on his lap, and exchanged 100,000 respect points for a high-grade phoenix serum and injected it into its body.

The wounds on the little black cat's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the gap in the ears never recovered, and I don't know what it was injured by, I'm afraid that it will be missing like this in the future.

Gradually, the little black cat's breathing became smoother, and under the effect of the phoenix serum, the injury had recovered as before, but because the physical wear was too severe, it was still unable to sleep.

Chino took off his coat, wrapped the little black cat and put it in a sheltered place from the rain, and then picked up the "Breaking the Law Sutra" to read.

Soon, on page 12, he turned to the method of cracking the curse of damnation.

After reading the book, he put it into the space ring, and then found Lu Yutian and asked, "If I cooperate with you to solve the spell, what do you need me to do?" ”

With little time left, Lu Yutian hurriedly replied: "The formation requires daisies, white fairies, crocodile hearts, soundbird feathers, and the formation painted with the horns of lions and camels. ”

As soon as Chino wanted to say something, Lu Yutian interrupted: "Don't worry, I have all the materials here, and I have already prepared them." All you need to do is wait for me to finish arranging, then stand in the eye of the formation, cut your fingers with a knife, and drip blood into the formation. ”

"The most important thing is that during this whole process, you must empty your mind and have no distractions, otherwise you may disrupt the formation and cause the spell to be ineffective!"

"Remember, empty your mind and have no distractions!"

The materials, processes, taboos and other contents described by Lu Yutian are no different from those written in the "Book of Breaking the Law".

The last vestiges of Chino's heart were dispelled, he looked at the sky before dawn, and said silently, "So, let's get started." ”
