Chapter 1073 Eleven. Temporary Residence

   The light of dawn seeps into the hole from the east, and the whole place of light is filled with a smoky morning mist.

   The vast starry sky was gradually replaced by a fish maw-like paleness, and the eerie fog of the bay wriggled back into the deep sea.

  When the Land of Light was born, strange mists, like all the strange ones, dared not set foot in it. But as time passed, nothing happened, and it reintroduced this place, spreading from the edge of the land of light outside the bay, advancing dozens of meters every day compared to the previous day, as if to test whether an unspeakable existence had left.

   Three months later, the strange fog has stretched from the edge to half the bay. Even if time maintains this uniform spread in the future, it will not be too long before it covers the coast again.

   Then, the land of light will no longer be pure, and the plagues and strangeness that have visited it will reinfect it.

Under the   Annie tree, Lu Li stared at the Onyx Lake camp surrounded by ugly wooden walls.

  The workers who were scattered around the Agate Lake to build shacks and cultivate farmland ended their day’s work and returned to their humble shacks one after another, preparing to rest in the morning before the brilliance fell.

The   Land of Light's routine is the exact opposite, originating from the migratory inhabitants - just because sleep represents danger, and even if it disappears, it will not make them feel pain in the sun.

   And when the light shines on the land of light and the temperature rises, it will be the most comfortable time of the day. They can have a good dream without wrapping their bodies into shrimp **** in a thin quilt. Although people often wake up from a slumber due to excessive brightness or prolonged exposure to the sun.

   And don’t worry about delaying your day’s work—even at night, the Land of Light is brighter than noon elsewhere on the surface. They are enough to wear starlight and work under the light of fluorite lamps and oil lamps. Although there are occasional idiots who fall into mud puddles or trip over rocks.

  There was no silence around the camp, because the workers who built the wooden bridge to the island in the center of the lake had not left, and the sound of carrying firewood and nailing wooden boards echoed with the ripples.

   They chose to rush to work because Lu Li returned, hoping to complete the wooden bridge from the island in the center of the lake to the lakeside as soon as possible, so as to avoid the trouble and danger of rowing every time Luli wants to go to the center of the island.

  Although the believers of the Twisted Church are cruising the lake all the time, the rare number and size of Onyx Lake make it difficult for them to take care of every corner. The bottomless dark lake represents the unknown, and the unknown represents danger.

   And soon after, they were driven away by the wet, twisted cultists who had emerged from the lake, and told them to put down their tools and go back to rest.

   Rather than describing the scene with a shepherd dog watching over the flock, Lu Li prefers to describe this as the beginning of cooperation between two opposing beings.

  The camp gradually returned to tranquility, and the residents who had finished their work went to sleep one after another.

  Loli stands on the commanding heights of the entire Sugard Mountain, looking out at the dark, mottled and crumbling old Belfast lying dormant outside the camp, the past seems to be vivid in my mind.

   Despite having undisputed ownership, Lu Li is only nominally the lord of the Land of Light.

   The light shone on half of Mount Sugard and the entire bay, and Lu Li actually controlled only around Agate Lake—five percent of the land of light.

   The remaining ninety-five percent are half weird and half bay. Even Lu Li's former residence, the Detective Agency and Wanghaiya are strange and inaccessible places.

   "You think so too...?"

An obscure whisper suddenly sounded next to   , and Lu Li retracted his gaze and looked at the distorted figure who peeked at the contents of the letter.

   "Extreme but reasonable." Lu Li said.

  When survival cannot be satisfied, morality will be meaningless, and the selfishness of life will be very clear at this time.

   "I'm disappointed... You are no different from other humans..." The distorted figure of Elena's image showed realistic regret and indifference.

   "I don't understand what you're talking about."

   The twisted figure cares about these human inhabitants? Lu Li lowered his eyes to the letter, and found the symbol and suspicious blank after the closing sentence.

   Realizing something, Lu Li turned on the fluorite lamp, took out a piece of fluorite and stuck it on the transparent paper.

  【Be careful of the Twisted and Vine Church, they are not human after all, and they should not be given too much trust】

The    symbol and the invisibility potion were small means by which Mayor Mateus communicated with Lu Li secretly during the Wiener Antifreeze incident, but he didn't expect the twisted figure to be beside Lu Li and saw these.

   "I didn't see this sentence." Facing his allies, Lu Li did not hesitate to explain: "As for trust, I handed over the Land of Light to you three months ago."

   and a place of light that could be plundered, usurped, and reborn at any time.

   "I take back my disappointment..." He manipulated "Elena" to smile realistically: "The church will not let you down..."

   Then Lu Li picked up the pen and replied to Matthaus who was waiting in the Wiener refuge area: "She said she would not betray my trust."

   Mateus no longer has a reply.

  The twisted figure did not leave after a long-lost reunion, continued to talk with Lu Li, and returned to the topic of "The Sunken Land".

   "They brighten your memory...but why haven't you changed from the last time..."

   "Maybe I need a break now."

   After leaving the illusion of the late night city, Lu Li has yet to close his eyes. If he takes away the Doomsday Apocalypse, he may fall directly under the tree and fall into a coma. But many things remain unresolved.

  The Whirlpool in the south of the Land of Light, the shipwreck area, the ember area, and the weirdness hidden in the ruins of the city that have existed since the fall of Old Belfast.

   "We need allies."

  The Church of Twisted and Vine can only barely keep the Onyx Lake camp from being infested by weirdness, and cannot allow them to retake the occupied land.

   They need more strength to protect themselves and blow the horn of counterattack. On the Ellen Peninsula, Lu Li had a ready ally.

   And He will never betray Himself.

   But before that——

   The gloom of old Belfast fades, and the early morning light shines on the land of light, as if returning to the gloom of a weird time, or the old days.

   The twisted figure whispered to Lu Li at this moment.

   "Go and rest...Wake up and inspect your own territory...Lord of the Land of Light."

   Lu Li temporarily lived in Baron Joseph's manor. The dilapidated mansion has become dilapidated, the red carpet is like broken moss, and the silent mansion lacking living people echoes the footsteps of Lu Li.

   Walking into the bedroom that once belonged to Erin, the once bright room was faded by dust. Lu Li lifted the old quilt and asked Anthony, a businessman like a housekeeper, to bring a new quilt.

Standing on the terrace, looking at the unobstructed Agate Lake camp for a moment, Lu Li returned to the bedroom, made the bedding, put the black coat on the hanger, untied the tie and put it on the ashes bedside table, and put the lithograph beside him, he lay down gradually. Warm bedroom bed.

  Enjoying the silence after the hustle and bustle, Lu Li was as peaceful as a dream in his territory.
