Chapter 71
Lu Ran, who was slow to realize, finally realized:
The river he just crossed was a boundary river.
This sculpture garden also looks like a chessboard.
The sculptures of both camps stand face to face across a river.
"I thought you were a God." Lu Ran said softly.
The black-fire sheep head floated quietly, silent.
Lu Ran turned around slowly, looking up at the black sheep head:
"We snatch the energy origin of demons, I can still understand, after all, the God-Demon dual races are incompatible.
But you also created these divine sculptures?"
Speaking to this point, it is already very thorough.
Lu Ran didn't need to be overly blunt, asking Immortal Lamb directly:
You also want to snatch the energy origin of the gods, and finally control and enslave the gods?
The black-fire sheep head spoke faintly: "The gods have countless believers, constantly absorbing human faith and strengthening themselves.
This little bit of energy origin is nothing."
Lu Ran: "You weren't saying that when we were absorbing the energy origin of the demon main body."
Black-fire sheep head: "He Qi can gods be mentioned in the same breath as demons?
Compared to demons, gods have a stable and majestic source of energy.
I am referring to the power of faith that you humans contribute at all times."
Lu Ran listened silently, not speaking.
For a long time, the black-fire sheep head said hoarsely: "Sure enough, you are not psychologically prepared to face these divine sculptures."
Lu Ran remained silent.
The black sheep head suddenly asked: "What is a God?"
Lu Ran pursed his lips, a trace of memories appearing in his mind.
Once, the black sheep head had also asked: What is a demon?
Lu Ran clearly remembered the answer.
For a long time, he said a rebellious remark: "A pile of stones?"
"Whoosh~" On the black sheep head, black fire flickered.
Lu Ran looked up at the black sheep head, his heart trembling slightly.
That pair of dead sheep eyes should have been dead and silent.
For the first time, Lu Ran saw a trace of a smile in those horizontal pupils.
Seems a bit appreciative?
Lu Ran: "Immortal Lamb is also a God, I describe it like this, aren't you angry?"
He is not stupid; such words were all spoken under the guidance of the black sheep head.
In other words, Lu Ran knew that the black sheep head wanted to hear this answer.
The black sheep head floated up slowly, overlooking the Divine Sculpture Garden: "This remark should come from your mouth."
Lu Ran's mind raced, testing: "I am so disrespectful to the gods, does it really not matter?"
"Disrespectful?" The black sheep head gave a cold snort, "More than just disrespectful.
Have you ever believed in God?"
"Ah?" Lu Ran was completely stunned.
This can't be said randomly!
Lu Ran was born in this era of universal worship of gods and carried a fairly thick era limitation.
The family education and school education he received since childhood, including the whole society, were telling him:
Worship God!
Only gods can lead humans to resist demons.
Only gods can let humans continue the fire of life.
Lu Ran himself did the same.
He followed his father since childhood to worship the Third-Rank God, Jade Talisman.
But now...
Immortal Lamb actually said to him: You have never believed in God?
Isn't this pure nonsense?
If it were said by someone else, it would be equivalent to putting a hat on Lu Ran, enough to make him suffer the spurning of the world.
But the one who said this was the God, Immortal Lamb?
This...
Lu Ran immediately opened his mouth and said: "The disciple considers himself very devout to you."
Black sheep head: "Have you ever offered me three or two offerings, or lit half a stick of incense?"
Lu Ran was stuck.
After a long while, Lu Ran said: "Aren't you eating faith?
Those mundane things, you don't need them, right?"
"Mm." This time, the black sheep head didn't refute.
Everyone has their own way of worshipping gods; in the final analysis, gods eat human "faith."
From this angle, Lu Ran is of course a believer in God.
Lu Ran was about to speak again, but the black sheep head said: "When you were practicing in front of the shrine, have you ever prayed devoutly?
Are you worshipping me, or the desires in your own heart?"
Lu Ran:!!!
Black sheep head said faintly: "Are you worshipping me, or yourself."
Lu Ran's words were tight: "I... you... no, it shouldn't be.
I want you to become more powerful than anyone else, at least I am not inferior to other Immortal Lamb believers!
Did Immortal Lamb not receive my share of faith?"
The black sheep head suddenly changed the subject: "Whether you believe in God or not, you don't need to struggle.
What if you believe, what if you don't?
Just a pile of stones."
Lu Ran opened his mouth: "This..."
Black sheep head said in a deep voice: "You believe in kindness and hatred, believe in cause and effect, that is enough."
Lu Ran tried hard to digest everything, not responding for a long time.
He understood Immortal Lamb's meaning, and he had also said he wanted to repay kindness.
This heart can be seen by the sun and moon, and it is naturally unnecessary to say more.
"That is enough..."
The black sheep head overlooked the Divine Sculpture Garden and continued: "You have your own path, you have your own persistence.
I will not force you to raise a butcher knife against your own kind and detain the souls of human believers.
However, if human souls return here, they can leave peacefully.
In the future, if comrades die on the battlefield, you can escort them on their last journey."
Lu Ran frowned slightly, catching a term: "Peacefully?"
Black sheep head: "After all living things die, their souls will eventually dissipate.
But you also know that many demon species will harm human souls.
Death does not mean the end of suffering, but the beginning of suffering."
Hearing this, Lu Ran nodded heavily.
The demon, Soul-Splitting Demon, is the best example.
It can imprison and torture human souls to satisfy its own cruel nature.
Besides the Soul-Splitting Demon, there are many types of demons that have such means of abusing people.
Lu Ran suddenly thought of something: "Team Leader Lin died on the playground, very close to the teaching building!
Did the God, Green-Firm, discover our existence?"
You must know that in the classrooms of the teaching building, there are all small divine statues of Green-Firm!
Black sheep head: "I often accompany you, which makes you have some misunderstandings about the gods."
Lu Ran reacted and responded in a low voice: "Oh."
He Qi difficult is it for humans in this world to communicate with gods?
Thousands of devotions and ten thousand bitter pleas, many can't even get a single pity from a God.
On the night of the fifteenth, how many battlefields are there in Great Xia, and how many Green-Firm believers are there?
Lu Ran discovered that he was wrong.
Regarding Team Leader Lin's death, it's not that the small divine statue in the shrine doesn't care.
The greater possibility is that the God, Green-Firm, didn't pay attention to this side at all...
The night of the fifteenth, how special.
Believers asking for spellcasting or something, the God probably promised them all, and couldn't handle it.
"Go back." The black sheep head's voice was low, "In this place, you cannot rest, you need peaceful sleep."
Lu Ran suddenly asked: "Can I save the dead comrades?"
Since he can detain the souls of human believers, can there be a next step?
Black sheep head: "That human has completely left, you are powerless."
Lu Ran said hurriedly: "In the future, if comrades die again?
Can I do anything for my comrades?"
Black sheep head: "Mere Stream Realm, heart higher than heaven."
Lu Ran: "..."
Immortal Lamb's tone is very intriguing.
Lu Ran couldn't tell whether the other party was mocking or praising.
Maybe both.
At night, in the office on the fourth floor of the teaching building.
Lu Ran woke up leisurely, looking around.
The office was brightly lit, students were sitting or standing, and some classmates were sleeping peacefully.
"Awake?" Deng Yutang was sitting by Lu Ran's bed, discovering the movement for the first time.
"It's night?" Lu Ran looked at the night outside the window.
He had only stayed up for one night, he shouldn't have slept for so long.
It seems that as Immortal Lamb said, in the demon sculpture... Hmm, in the God-Demon Sculpture Garden, he couldn't get real rest.
Fortunately, he had already reported safety to his family in the morning.
Otherwise, his mother and sister would be very worried.
"Nothing happened today, don't worry." Deng Yutang said softly, "Eat something?"
"Thanks, not very hungry." Lu Ran said thanks softly, getting up and getting out of bed carefully.
Even so, many students looked over here.
Because there were people sleeping in the office, most of the students nodded to signal, not making a sound.
"I'm going to the restroom." Lu Ran said in a low voice, patted Deng Yutang on the shoulder, and walked out of the office.
On the upper bunk, Jiang Ruyi got up slowly, watching Lu Ran leave.
Lu Ran walked into the indoor restroom, washed his face fiercely, and felt much clearer.
He supported the washbasin with both hands, turned his head slightly, and saw the moonlight pouring on the windowsill.
Immediately, Lu Ran walked over as if he were possessed.
With the help of the evil technique, Corrupt Mind, he saw a lot.
The playground that was chaotic before had been cleaned up.
But traces of human blood were still visible.
Lu Ran's mind was full of scenes of the battle before.
Looking around, in the southeast corner of the playground, one of the swing boards was broken, only two iron chains were tied to the broken wooden blocks, swaying back and forth.
Lu Ran stared for a long time, turned around, and walked out.
The journey was quite smooth, the Moon-Watchers didn't stop Lu Ran from going out, after all, the night of the fifteenth had passed.
The Moon-Watchers just exhorted Lu Ran a few words, telling him not to leave the school gate, not to leave the range guarded by the troops.
"Whoosh..."
Lu Ran stood at the entrance of the teaching building, breathing a deep sigh of relief.
Looking up,
the moon of the fifteenth is indeed rounder on the sixteenth.
He walked through the battlefield of last night step by step, his thoughts thousands of miles away.
Finally, Lu Ran came to the southeast corner and stood in front of the broken swing.
"Clatter, clatter..."
The swing board was broken, so Lu Ran took down the broken wooden board on the iron chains and tied the two iron chains together.
Should it still be sit-able?
Lu Ran looked and looked, and sat down gently.
Well, except for being a bit cold on the butt, there was no big problem.
"That... that is Lu Ran?"
"It must be! The Immortal Lamb believer in Yuxia City, who can be this brave, I guess it's only him."
A team of Moon-Watchers arrived behind Jiang Ruyi, their whispers filled with astonishment.
Evaluating whether a warrior is excellent is not limited to combat power and willpower.
It also includes the ability to adapt to the situation, including that flash of inspiration, that precious creativity.
Jiang Ruyi bit her lower lip nervously, hurriedly coming back to her senses:
"Quick, quick help Lu Ran, he will fall to his death!"
"Xiao Zhang and I will send this student back to the shelter." The Moon-Watcher team leader ordered, "You two, go and bring that Lu Ran back!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!" A man and a woman took the order and went, quickly crossing the high iron fence.
At the same time, Lu Ran in the high sky also reacted.
Damn!
I can't fly!
Lu Ran felt the violent wind whistling past his ears, and he felt terrible.
It could not be denied that he had indeed been carried away just now.
Now, this bitter fruit was about to descend upon his head.
Lu Ran leaped high over the playground fence and soon reached the highest point; below was the hard asphalt road.
Deng Yuxiang, oh Deng Yuxiang, you can simply kill people!
Lu Ran never expected that he wouldn't be tortured to death by the 20-year-old Great Nightmare, but instead would be messed up by a sixth-grade Little Nightmare!
"Hiss—"
Mist sprayed under Lu Ran's feet, and while falling, he tried to slow down his momentum.
"Mm?" He turned his head suddenly, only to see two tree branches reaching out rapidly from the oblique rear.
