Chapter 174 Eighty-nine. A fairy tale
Tesla's telling makes the story sound like "Lu Li" jumped from one trap to another, and there is some kind of danger ahead waiting for "Lu Li".
But if we continue to do so, this assessment question is a bit out of specification.
In any case, Tesla did not end it hastily with the sentence "The three people who escaped from the ruins live happily together", which means that there are still some plots behind.
From here, Tesla’s style of telling changes, like those writers who write words.
…
The gloomy sky is so dazzling, the black earth is so vast, and Lu Li, who is separated from the cold and dark passage, only thinks that life is a very wonderful word.
"I really may have come out of the ruins..." Lu Xin questioned himself. Standing at the entrance of the ruins, he saw the restless monster beside the fire in front of the tall stone forest clearing.
When he wanted to do something, a roar sounded from the stone forest. A monster with a strange tail stood on the edge of the stone forest. He held a head-sized rock in his dark and thick claws and roared at the group of monsters.
One of the reasons why humans have an absolute advantage in this world is their use of tools, as well as intelligence.
A stone the size of a human head will not hurt a monster, but it is enough to crush a bonfire.
The sparks scattered, alarming the monsters who liked fire and feared it. They were distracted, let out a deafening roar, and rushed towards the defiant weird kind.
Remi's monster brother turned and fled into the stone forest, followed by all the monsters, and the roar gradually faded away.
As agreed, after Lu Li's figure appeared at the entrance, he helped him lead away the monsters in the clearing.
Lu Li came back to his senses, turned his head and stared deeply at the dark and endless passage of the ruins. Before the monster came back, he ran down the stone steps and drilled into the stone forest on the other side.
He hid behind a black stone pillar he had made an appointment with with brother Remy, waiting for him to appear. A few minutes later, heavy footsteps came from the front, and Brother Remy came back.
But Remy still did not appear.
His condition is not very good, with scars all over his body and most of his scales falling off, revealing the same dark flesh behind him.
"Where's my sister!" he asked Lu Li anxiously.
A touch of sadness flashed across Lu Li's eyes, and he said slowly, "She... is already dead."
"What did you say?!"
A rancid claw pulled up Lu Li's chest and clothes and lifted him off the ground. The monster's lips, which couldn't hide the sharp teeth, split open, and the pitch-black claws waved.
Lu Li closed his eyes, waiting for his impending anger.
The claws did not wave down, the strange claws as big as the head stopped in front of the forehead, and the palm that grabbed Lu Li's chest was released. Brother Remi and the monster hugged their heads at the same time, and murmured in pain: "It's not your fault... it's me dawdling. It's been too long... I should have overcome my fear earlier and ran in to find her, I'm useless..."
Lu Li didn't know how to comfort his brother who lost his sister, he could only reluctantly comfort himself, maybe Remi's soul still exists in the ruins and lives in another way.
"Jimmy!? How did you become like this!"
Suddenly, a surprised and crisp shout came from the side.
The two sad men raised their heads at the same time and looked in surprise towards the direction from which the voice came.
An illusory figure in a white dress walked beside them. No longer a dim relic, Lu Li could see Remi's appearance more clearly, as well as those terrifying all-white eyes.
Lu Li knew about the situation of the brother and sister, but they didn't know each other, and the brother and sister were simultaneously frightened by each other's appearance.
Lu Li briefly described some of their respective situations, Jimmy was silent for a while, and exhaled a long breath.
"At least we are still alive..."
"How did you do it?" Lu Li couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Xiang Remi.
Remi said that after Lu Li escaped from the altar, when the owner of the ruins was about to come to consciousness, she followed the method taught by Lu Li, flew all the way up, got into the walls and mountains, and ran out of the scope of the ruins.
Maybe he had been deceived too many times, Lu Li subconsciously had doubts about these words.
As Remy said, the master of the altar, that evil and terrifying aura easily made her escape from the ruins?
What happened at the altar during the time he was gone?
But it doesn't matter anymore, Lu Li only knew that he had completed the task, and they also survived in another way.
"Let's get out of here first, if the Lord... the being at the altar can come out, or control me..."
Jimmy said worriedly, he didn't want to lose consciousness again, and he didn't want to lose his sister again.
Remi, who was in the state of Lu Li and the soul, of course would not refuse. Jimmy controlled the monster to put his body on his shoulders. They avoided the patrolling monsters, walked out of the stone forest, and walked out of the black earth.
The rotting dark soil turned into green grasslands at their feet. The three of them stood on a hillside, the left side was the village in the grassland, and the right side was the darkness with the breath of death, with clear boundaries.
"What are you going to do next?" Lu Li asked. Neither Remy nor Jimmy, at this time, is suitable for appearing in the village.
"Go home," Jimmy said firmly.
Remi thought more and added for her brother: "If the village does not accept us, we will go to live elsewhere."
"Go somewhere else?" Lu Li asked in confusion.
Remi nodded, with longing in her eyes: "Go to a place with the sea and build a log cabin."
She doesn't have as much sentimentality as Jimmy, which makes her look like an adult.
Lu Li couldn't be sure that Remy had always been like this, or something unknown happened at the altar. The ease with which they left the ruins always disturbed him.
Maybe you can get more content from the organization when you go back.
"We will not forget your help, Lu Li."
Remi suddenly hugged Lu Li gently, her soft and cold body was like the one in the ruins, and Jimmy also bowed his head gratefully.
"Where are you going next?"
"Go back and hand in the mission." On the way out of the ruins, Lu Li revealed his identity to them.
"I mean after handing in the task."
"Go home. By the way, my hometown is by the sea." Under the afterglow of the sunset, in the distance is the dark earth and the remains of black stone pillars in the depths. Standing on the hillside, Lu Li smiled at his siblings and said, "Welcome to Belfast as a guest."
…
"What a good story."
Old Pique sighed, at his age, apart from the memories of his youth, few things could make him feel more in his heart.
He looked at Lu Li: "So our Mr. Silent has a happy ending in the story?"
"Yes, this is probably the best ending." Tesla did not hide the admiration in his eyes and looked at Lu Li with a smile.
The bad guys finally failed, and the good guys became partners with the monsters oppressed by the bad guys, and together they managed to escape from the bad guys' clutches.
Probably only in fairy tales there is such an ending.
