Chapter 275 A sudden visit

He looked at the three residential buildings destroyed by the fire.

'It seems so. Due to the constraints of the [No-War Pact], local extraordinary beings cannot kill mortals... let alone such a massacre.'

'Only in an illusion.'

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

At this moment, high in the sky, in the center of the entire black sky, a large red dot appeared in Ogami's field of vision.

'It turns out to be an illusion transformed by living things.'

He glanced at his prosthetic hand.

'It's too high there and I can't reach it yet.'

He was silent for a moment and walked away from the fire.

As soon as I stepped out of the fire, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

In the starry sky, a dim sun spans the sky, bringing pitiful light to the world.

It was so dim that it was as if the sun had just risen from the sea.

Under the dim sun, the ruins of the majestic city towering over the mountains reached into the sky. The fresh snow covering the city was not enough to cover up the lively hustle and bustle in the city. The survivors who had survived the long night were reveling and celebrating the rebirth of the world.

.

The huge abyss under the city is filled with black water that can't be seen to the bottom.

This is [Lothric], which was once submerged in the deep sea era called "Doomsday". Now it is awakened from the doomsday because the unknown brave used his body as firewood to ignite a new fire.

Ogami and Nuomiguo once traveled here through a scroll together, and they still haven't figured out whether the adventure they had here really happened, or whether it was a bizarre dream that happened one night.

The place where he stands "now" is on the cliff of a mountain behind the Royal City of Lothric.

This place is called [Chuanghuo Sacrificial Site].

Not far in front of him, a figure wearing heavy armor and holding a tall black epee turned around.

Inside the armor is a living corpse.

The living corpse known as the "Unknown Warrior" by later generations.

The undead king who was reborn in the apocalypse.

The living corpse is burning with flames that are about to rise. Behind it are five black thrones. There is no firewood on the thrones, and there is not even ashes left after burning.

Ogami looked at the familiar "face".

'Can you tell the illusion of fear in my heart? It's really interesting...'

He looked at the face of the living corpse and said the words he had said once before.

"I told you, spreading fire is wrong.

Even if you can burn yourself, can those who come after you be as selfless as you?

Or maybe, what you give is never selfless."

He lifted the wedge.

"This time, I won't lose again."

He thought of the things he and the unknown brave had experienced together in the Deep Sea Age when they were not living corpses. He raised the corners of his mouth and murmured to himself:

"Because I have knees and you don't..."

The living corpse saw him raising the knife, and with the little sense left, it regarded him as an "enemy".

So it swooped towards him with a black giant sword, and the pressure it created was like the whole world was pressing down on him.

The next moment, Kakimaru had collided with the edgeless blade of the giant sword.

"when!"

The sound of forging resounded through the mountains, covering up the constant ringing of death knells in the ashes cemetery in the mountains next to the fire-transmitting sacrificial site.

Chen Yan was sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building at No. 33 Walker Street, nervously staring at the motionless door.

Ogami has been out for half an hour.

But there was still no movement outside the door.

The street lights have just come on, which means it is the shift time for some factory workers.

At this point, it's impossible for there to be no movement on the road.

But it was so quiet outside the apartment building, not to mention the sound of footsteps on the concrete pavement, not even a sound of wind!

Chen Yan was extremely nervous. He reached into his pocket and held Bai Lei's right hand, which already wet his sleeve three times. In order to draw the knife more smoothly, he cut off the right pocket of his windbreaker.

, the slender and curved handle of Bai Lei can be easily grasped by him.

Although this posture of drawing the sword is very awkward, it is drawn with a backhand, and the clothes must be cut off when drawing the sword, but for Chen Yan, this is the least likely position to reveal that he has a knife on his body.

'When you draw a sword, you must burst into clothing. It's very perverted no matter how you look at it. If I become famous for this, won't I be called a [perverted man with explosive clothes and sword drawn] in the future?

Dare to go out...'

He was so nervous that he thought wildly, and the bizarre thoughts that came from this actually made him relax a little, so that the right hand holding the knife was no longer so stiff.

'Phew! What a great start!'

As soon as he relaxed, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the air in front of him without any warning.

"Ayan."

Chen Yan shook his right hand and almost pulled out the knife!

The movement of his right hand scared a group of shadows out of his shadow, and formed a vague human figure under the moonlight that filtered in from the window.

Chen Yan was startled by the trembling of his right hand. He subconsciously thought of what Ogami said, "There is only one chance to draw the sword." Feeling his right hand still holding the sword's handle, he shivered and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

"Claude Moon?"

He called to the shadow under the window sill.

"It's me... I think we should keep a certain distance to avoid unnecessary casualties."

Chen Yan used some strength with his right hand holding the knife: "What have you been busy with these two days?"

What do you want to do when you come to me at this juncture?

Claude Moon seemed to feel his move and stepped back further, almost to the window sill:

"As I told you last time, there is something wrong in our tribe. Do you still remember what we talked about Vivian?"

Chen Yan did not relax his right hand:

"Hmm... I can now confirm that it was Andil who tampered with her blood."

The tone was not cold, it could even be said to be quite friendly.

The voice coming from the shadow was quite low, and contained some fatigue that could not be dispelled:

"The current situation is worse than that... We have finally figured out that Vivian's blood has been changed into a very strange existence... It is no longer the normal blood of gods. The blood is filled with Andil.

Added other things, other things..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Chen Yan asked: "Isn't it convenient to explain?"

Shadow answered quickly: "We don't know what it is yet. We only know that through Vivian's blood, outsiders can enter the [Link] that belongs exclusively to our Moon Familia."

Chen Yan thought of what Andier said - 'That was a little game between me and the moon monster'.

He restrained his curiosity and remained vigilant: "That's really a troublesome thing."

Shadow whispered: "Yes, the elders in the family have been troubled by this, made a lot of efforts, and even prayed to the gods, but they still can't know what has become of Vivian's blood."

"We cut off the link with Vivian to ensure that once someone takes advantage of her, it will not immediately threaten our blood source."
