Chapter 554: Entering the Ritual
During this period, Lily's food was good, she ate all of them, probably because of her sufficient nutrition. She finally didn't feel like she used to be, as if she could never eat enough ordinary food.
Because I had a lot of food last night, Lily looked lazy all day long.
She always wore that white long dress, highlighting the girl's figure and youthful atmosphere to the fullest. Sometimes Xia Ren couldn't help but wonder how Lily designed such a outfit for herself without Qin Yun's guidance.
However, none of these matters.
The evening was approaching soon, and the temperature in Ansenburg City dropped a little, and pedestrians on the road began to put on their coats. The wind blew on their bodies, making a cool breeze, and the sunlight was not as warm as before.
Xia Ren sat on the edge of the roof of the hotel, looking at the sunset gradually sinking into the clouds in the distance, with his eyes not knowing what he was thinking.
Lily also rested her head on his thighs like she did when she was a child, and slept soundly with her eyes closed. Her mouth opened slightly and made a gentle breathing sound like a quiet little beast.
The green hair fell and was blown away by the breeze on the roof, and a few strands fell into Xia Ren's palm.
He looked down at Lily's sleeping face, and a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, but then he thought of something and his expression became a little heavy.
"It would be great if every moment could be as easy as it is now, and no one would bother me, even if I just sat down, I would feel extremely satisfied."
He seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be trying to talk to someone.
He had to face unsure of the battle at night, and he didn't know whether he could escape danger like before.
Lily nodded like a dream, making a cute nasal sound.
Then he opened his sleepy eyes, opened his mouth and yawned.
Xia Ren gently patted her head: "If you are sleepy, keep going."
“Not sleepy.”
Lily yawned again, turned around and continued to rest her head on Xia Ren's legs, imitating him and looking into the distance.
“What a big sun.”
After a while, she exclaimed.
Xia Ren thought about other things in his mind and asked, "Isn't this the case before?"
"It seems that it wasn't before, and the moon doesn't seem to be as cold as it is now."
"How long ago... was it?"
"Lily can't remember it."
Xia Ren was silent for a while: "What will this world become in the future?"
Lily blinked and said nothing.
This question is destined to be without an answer, and even the doctor who masters the Silver Key cannot accurately predict what will happen in the future.
...
...
At night, the stars lit up in the sky, but the moon was not visible.
The night of the new moon is coming.
Xia Ren opened the invitation letter and stared at the magic circle above. Lily had become the ghoul's appearance last night. She also divided her own organization to attach to Xia Ren and helped him disguise. The aura on the two of them was no different from the real ghoul. Even if they stood face to face, the other party might not be able to see their true identities.
They were all wearing black cloaks to cover their faces and figures, waiting nervously and nervously. Niu Changshou stood not far behind them, looking at the two of them with some worry.
Suddenly, the magic circle lit up a scarlet light, and then a flame ignited.
In the fire, the air in front of them was twisted, and the space in front of them was like soft dough, rubbed by an invisible big hand, and a pitch-black passage suddenly appeared in the open space in front of them.
The interior of the passage is like a hovering vortex, bottomless, as if leading to an endless deep place, trembling waves of death emanate, indicating the danger ahead.
Xia Ren took a deep breath: "Are you ready?"
Lily nodded slightly.
Xia Ren held her dry and hard arms tightly and walked into the passage together.
After the two of them entered, the constantly rotating black vortex suddenly stopped, and the next moment, it completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Niu Changshou couldn't help much, so he could only pray for them in his heart.
"You must come back alive."
...
...
Accompanied by a long dizziness, a little dim light gradually appeared in the field of vision.
Countless crying sounds came into Xia Ren's ears. He opened his eyes and saw a bonfire lit up in the dark cave.
The humanoid creature in a black robe kept passing by him and heading to the end of the cave, but under the robe, there was a filthy mucus that emitted a pungent smell.
Deep in Xia Ren's mind, he suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing, as if he had seen the same scene somewhere.
The next moment, he finally recalled it.
When he first noticed the existence of a ghoul in the center of Dawn, he saw the same illusion!
The difference is that this time, he stood here in person, and everything around him was no longer an illusory dream, but an irrefutable reality.
"So what I saw at that time was the scene of the dark festival."
Xia Ren felt a little indescribable fear in his heart.
A few months ago, he had seen his future with his own eyes. However, how could he be, neither the skill of traveling through time and space like a doctor nor the ability to influence the flow of time like Nayaratotip, how could he accurately see the picture of the future when he was in the past?
The scene in front of him made him feel uneasy about his existence and even the operating rules of this world.
Xia Ren stopped in place, and looked a little eye-catching in the team full of ghouls.
When a ghoul had already passed by him, he turned around and cast his eyes.
Lily pushed his arm and pulled his thoughts back.
Xia Ren noticed the gazes around him and understood Lily's intention. In order not to attract too much attention, he could only follow the team and walk forward.
There were whispers like whispers coming from the black robes around them, and the ghouls communicated in the language of their tribe, making Xia Ren unable to understand their intentions.
In this case, even if he was exposed, he could not detect it in time, which deepened his nervousness and vigilance.
Fortunately, there is no danger for the time being, and not all those who come to participate in the festival are ghouls. Some wizards and witches are also mixed in. The size of humans is easy to distinguish. Xia Ren has seen several wizards along the way.
"I don't know if Liu Fusheng is inside."
Xia Ren's eyes were paying attention to the humans, but unfortunately, the black robe wrapped their figures tightly, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
They followed the team through the passage illuminated by the bonfire.
Although it is dark, it is not wet, and the cave is not completely closed. From time to time, a wave of cold wind flows through the ankles, which means that the cave is not only one exit.
