Chapter 486: Mocking Words

Although she was muttering in her heart about why there were so many things in this broken place, Fu Lan Ka actually wasn't surprised at all.

This is the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era; even if it's not in the God-Fallen Land, it won't lack abnormalities!

Lu Mi and the others poked their heads out from their hiding spots from different angles, looking toward where the ding-a-ling sound came from.

That wasn't too far from the current street, but the mist there was clearly thicker, and the buildings were all looming, as if only revealing a corner in history.

Deep in such mist, something similar to a steam train drove by quietly. It had fewer sections, only two, and no chimney, and there were strangely shaped brackets extending from the top, connecting to something in mid-air.

Ding-a-ling, this train drove into the place where the mist was thicker and disappeared.

Although Fu Lan Ka and the others couldn't see it very clearly, they were all inexplicably terrified, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, or stepping on a sharp blade, with the tip already piercing their skin.

They hadn't had time to consider what the change in the mist and the appearance of the strange things meant, or what they would bring, when the surroundings became much darker, the dusk retreated, and the night was about to come.

Thick mist subsequently spread over, shrouding this area.

Although Lu Mi instinctively felt that this had a big problem and wanted to avoid it, as far as he could see, there was abnormal mist stained with a dark black color. There was no way to "teleport" to a place unaffected, and outside the mist, the wilderness they had just come from was already hard to sense.

The mist was cold, soaking into the skin, and Fu Lan Ka and Yu Jianna couldn't help but shiver.

Almost simultaneously, in various parts of this narrow street, one ball of candlelight after another, one oil lamp after another, lit up, and laughter, crying, and talking sounds suddenly erupted.

Here, it turned from static to dynamic, coming to life.

The Te Li Er of the Fourth Era came to life, having clamor again, and was full of noisy life movements.

Ma Ding instinctively observed the situation of different houses and the narrow street, seeing a person standing at the window in an asymmetrical pitch-black building, illuminated by a chandelier hanging from above.

That person wore a black soft hat that was sunken on one side and protruding on the other, wearing dark clothing with buttons buttoned messily, and there was a smooth wound cutting his body diagonally from his shoulder to his waist.

This seemed to be caused by a sharp giant sword.

At this time, this male's body, which had been slashed diagonally, wasn't put together well, existing like blocks stacked by a child.

He was biting into a meat-filled pie, and the chewed food kept falling from the wound to the ground, while he was completely unaware.

In other houses that could still be lived in, more figures presented themselves.

Some were like candles that had melted and re-solidified, flesh and blood sticky, indistinguishable from each other; some had pale skin, with greasy white feathers growing out of their pores, dripping yellowish pus; some had bodies full of tiny holes, with small black insects flying in and out; some only had white skeletons left, with only a human skin mask of mismatched size pasted on their faces; some had regressed into black shadows, as if they had been burned...

On the narrow street, a yellow-blue-red three-colored sphere half a person high rolled forward, with a clown wearing exaggerated clothing standing upside down on it.

That clown's ears were not quite the same as humans, like canine creatures, and a bit more pointed, while on his face painted with red and yellow oil paint, strands of dark gray hair existed in patches.

Are these all citizens of the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era who had long since died? Lu Mi's eyelids jumped.

He and Fu Lan Ka and the others also noticed that the common point of these figures was that there was a lot of blood on their faces, and their expressions were quite cold.

"Very similar, very similar to those 'Mirror People'..." Fu Lan Ka muttered to herself, then said in horror, "The change in the gray fog just now wouldn't have brought us to the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era in the mirror, right? The citizens of the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era in reality are all dead, but the ones in the mirror are still alive?"

She hadn't finished speaking when Lu Mi and Ma Ding's gazes had already swept over her and Yu Jianna.

"Don't tell me it's the problem of those two things again?" Fu Lan Ka said with her scalp tingling, "They caused us to be swallowed by the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era in the mirror after the gray fog changed?"

"That's not it. I think it's a universal mutation. Except for a very few who have special things, those who entered here were all brought to the mirror ruins after being shrouded by the expanding gray fog." Lu Mi looked at the "vibrant" narrow street and thought for a moment, "The biggest possibility is that those two statues stimulated the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era, producing changes like the expansion of the gray fog."

Yu Jianna was silent first, then frowned:

"But we've been in for a while. Why did the mutation appear just now? We didn't do anything just now..."

"That's right!" Franca suddenly realized. "It must be that the guests from the 'Inn' came in, wandered around, and tried things randomly, triggering something!"

She hadn't finished speaking when a desperate, fear-filled shout came from not far away:

"Help!

"Save me!"

Lu Mi and the others followed the sound and saw a man wearing black formal wear, with his hair combed neatly, looking like a secretary to some great figure, running into this narrow street.

His face had many abscesses, constantly dripping mucus, and from time to time, he turned his head 180 degrees with a crack, looking behind him with full eyes of fear, as if an invisible terrifying thing was chasing him.

"Save me!"

Amidst the shouting, this person's body suddenly froze, and then he couldn't help but retreat backward, retreating faster and faster, until he flew up.

"Ah!"

Amidst the intense screams, he fell into the thick gray fog, falling between the looming buildings.

The next second, the sound stopped abruptly, and that direction was silent.

Lu Mi and the others' heartbeats became faster and faster, all having strong premonitions of danger.

Although that man wearing black formal wear wasn't a normal person either, suspected to be an evil god's gift-receiver of the "All-Things-End Sect" or "Disease Sect", and had already been polluted by this place and suffered certain influences, his head could even turn to the back, but his encounter still directly made Lu Mi, Ma Ding, and the others feel the terror hidden deep in the gray fog.

They seemed to have been able to see themselves being "dragged" deep into the gray fog and disappearing.

But at this very moment, they didn't know what to do at all, how to avoid it. The place here, suspected to be the mirror ruins, was full of thick, blackened gray fog everywhere, and unknown dangers were hidden in the shadows, approaching quietly.

Just at this time, Lu Mi heard the magnificent and layered voice of Te Er Mi Bo Ai Luo Si in his ears:

"Keep running forward, run to that pillar.

"You can't stop on the way, can't look back, can't teleport, can't pull your companions."

This... isn't that the direction where the monster just now was "swallowed"? If we take the initiative to go there, wouldn't it be equal to delivering a meal to the door? Lu Mi didn't know whether to believe that Te Er Mi Bo Ai Luo Si sensed the real danger and intended to do something to save himself, or suspected that He wanted to take the opportunity to plot some conspiracy.

"You can choose not to believe." Te Er Mi Bo Ai Luo Si's majestic voice added.

Lu Mi, regardless of whether he believed it or not, cast his gaze toward the place where the evil god's gift-receiver's figure was "swallowed".

Deep in the gray fog, between various looming, collapsed, or towering buildings, there was a vague, black giant pillar extending into the sky.

Suddenly, Lu Mi remembered one thing:

The "Ke Li Si Mang Na Night Pillar" at the entrance of the fourth layer of the underground tomb.

And Ke Li Si Mang Na was a high-level witch who fell in the "War of the Four Emperors", fell in the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era!

She was also a god-child, the child of the "Primordial Witch" in the true sense... This place is suspected to be the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era in the mirror... Lu Mi looked around and saw that the situation in other places was about the same, gritted his teeth and said:

"We move forward! Go to that black pillar!"

The sense of danger was getting stronger and stronger, and the current situation of being about to collide with it made him only able to gamble.

Move forward? Whether it was Fu Lan Ka, Yu Jianna, or Ma Ding, they were all full of questions about Lu Mi's choice.

Just now, the situation of that man in formal wear, everyone saw it!

Lu Mi straightened his body and said in a deep voice:

"Yu Jianna, carry the spoils. You can't stop on the way, can't look back, can't pull your companions!"

After saying that, he had already rushed out of the hiding place.

Seeing that the taboo was so specific, Fu Lan Ka looked at Lu Mi and chose to believe.

Yu Jianna gripped the lucky gold coin in her hand, picked up the cloak containing the spoils, followed, and Ma Ding, having avenged his great hatred, had no regrets or obsessions, and since Lu Mi had shown his correctness several times before, he didn't question it, running wildly to follow.

Thud thud thud, the four ran into the narrow street, passed by the clown who was standing upside down on the ball and moving slowly, ran into the depths of the gray fog, and ran toward the black giant pillar.

A corner of the Te Li Er of the Fourth Era, in front of a house made of black iron and painted with red patterns.

A wilderness growing with weeds was compressed to only the size of an ordinary square.

On the wilderness, sitting on a dark red convertible carriage, wearing a loose white robe and a light-colored veil, "Lady Moon" asked Pu A Li Si, who was standing beside her:

"What's wrong with you?"

Pu A Li Si, dressed in all black, covered her head with her right hand:

"I heard the crying of that child of mine again..."

"Lady Moon" nodded gently:

"This is unavoidable. You rest here, and catch up after your state recovers."

"Are you okay by yourself?" Pu A Li Si's facial muscles twitched and twisted from time to time.

"Lady Moon" said with a smile in her voice:

"My child left me a gift, so you don't have to worry."

She didn't even feel that "Lady Night" could provide any help in this matter. The reason this one could come in was because she had to stay in the Sacred Heart Monastery to attract attention and couldn't live in the "Hostel".

"Alright." Pu A Li Si said quite regretfully.

After "Lady Moon's" carriage and the wilderness moved forward for a while, the gray fog became thicker and expanded over.

Her eyes narrowed, and a blood-stained umbilical cord appeared in her hand.

This umbilical cord emitted brilliant golden sunlight, blocking all erosion and influence outside.

Just like this, "Lady Moon" successfully arrived at the edge of the God-Fallen Land, where the gray fog was as thick as a wall.

She tried to get closer, but was blocked, just like an ordinary person couldn't pass through a wall.

"Lady Moon" felt a strong call, but couldn't go any further.

She whispered in bewilderment and doubt:

"How could it be..."

While muttering to herself, "Lady Moon's" gaze swept over the surroundings.

Suddenly, her gaze solidified.

On the surface of a half-collapsed palace-style building nearby, the flamboyant red solidified on the wall, outlining a sentence in a bloody state:

"Don't tell me no one told you there's another layer of seal here?"
