Chapter 732 “New Moon”

 The last day until the day when the new moon is said to rise,

 Lupu is currently on lockdown, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting. Even the three major logistics companies have closed the above and underground transmission channels, suspending all logistics transportation for 24 hours.

This scale of city closure has never happened since Lupu was established, and the moon-gazing outside the city also convinced the rumors.

 During the waiting period, many patients fought for seats, and the outside of the city was once in a state of chaos. In order to ensure that the new moon can be watched quietly when it rises, many patients above Kaiyuan have formed their own security supervision teams. Anyone who disobeys the managers will be forcibly thrown out.

On the last day, the temporary board houses built outside Lupu City had already formed the size of a slum, and were even divided into an "inner circle" and an "outer circle".

The area sandwiched in the middle has also evolved into a commercial street. Many craftsmen have become very fond of the moon models made by using stones in the body, and they have made several years of money at once.

I feel that if the development here continues, high-rise buildings can be built on the ground, directly forming the outer ring city of Lupu.

 【Outskirts of the moon viewing area】

A beautiful woman with a plump body and red seawater marks dotted between her eyebrows, dressed in a low-cut long skirt, walked in front, and behind her were nine beautiful daughters who were in their blooming season.

 The humidity will increase significantly wherever you go, and there will be a thin layer of mist around you.

Even if they are placed in an aesthetically messy area like the old world, their appearance still attracts the attention of many people.

But the patients are still very self-aware. Even if they cannot sense the aura of these ladies, they know that they are not easy to mess with. Even the people from the security team will take the initiative to get out of the way.

They bypassed the layers of temporary bungalows and went straight to the city gate of Lupu.

 “If you are not allowed to enter a neutral city, where are the rules?”

The woman collectively referred to as ‘Mom’ put her hand against the city gate, trying to force her way in with sea water, but the sound of gold coins falling could be heard in her ears.

The moment he heard the voice, a cold sweat ran down his inner thigh, and his whole body felt trembling.

“The Duke is actually here…that old guy Yuyuan actually didn’t even give us this information.

Since the Duke is in charge, even if a new moon does rise, the Duke will approve or even directly support it. If we are asked to kill each other's people in front of the Duke, this old guy Yuyuan is really out of his mind.

 Let’s go back. "

“Mom, is this really okay? At least pretend, otherwise Mr. Yuyuan may punish us.”

“He has been completely addicted to experiments and can’t even make the most basic judgments. Such a guy is not worthy of giving us orders. Let’s go~ Mom will play with you when we go back.

 At worst, I'll kill one of you to make old Yuyuan feel relieved. "

Just as the group was about to leave, a unique tentacle emerged from the hem of my mother’s skirt, and her body trembled suddenly! The intention to leave was also terminated immediately.

"This smell... although it has been diluted a lot and mixed with other things, it is unmistakable. My eldest daughter who ran away from home finally found you! Do you even come to admire the moon? "

 The woman was about to further locate her position, but found that the feeling she had just received disappeared instantly.

“Have you discovered this? And you actually dare to choose not to recognize me and actively block your aura. You have really grown up! Catherine…”

 …

 The dense forest area on the other side of Lupu City,

Moon gazers here build tree houses directly based on trees, or sit directly on trees. Each tree is engraved with the name of the person who belongs to it.

 Slowly, a Catherine, dressed in Gothic style and wearing heavy makeup, walked out of the forest.

Hold a pitch-black umbrella in her hand, and tied a flesh-red balloon to her right wrist. The most striking thing is Catherine's eye pupils, which are shaped like flower wheels.

Just as she was about to walk out of the woods step by step, a feeling caused her to suddenly stop. Her leisurely and relaxed body tensed instantly, and she never moved a step forward.

 The balloon tied to the wrist opened a mouth full of yellow teeth, "Is it a monk?"

"no…"

“What is that? It makes you so nervous, Catherine~ I haven’t seen you in this state for a long time.”

 "Arc Sea, "the original body"-Lea Roman, also known as the ancestor octopus. It is the origin of our cephalopod life. It is collectively called "Mother" by me and my former deep-sea sisters. It is an existence second only to the Plague Lord. "

The balloon swayed, "Oh! That's the knight of the high table who is the second most cancerous person after 'that woman'."

“Mom is almost invincible at the bottom of the sea. Even now, I’m not sure I can beat her.”

The balloon responded, "Under the sea...this is land.

However, my target is not her! Once this woman gives you trouble, you may need to solve it yourself. "

“Let’s not conflict with mom for the time being. We are already being targeted by the monastery, and it will be even more troublesome if we get into trouble with the deep sea.”

As she spoke, Catherine's flower eyes began to rotate, her left hand holding the balloon made a seal on her chest, and she spoke a language that did not belong to this world.

 As a sea flower bloomed on her head like a hairpin, Catherine's aura completely changed.

The patients living in the tree holes nearby also felt something strange. When they looked over, they vaguely saw a strange Buddha statue walking in the forest, and even instinctively wanted to kneel down and worship.

“Boss, let’s stay here for now. If we confirm that we have your target, we can go deeper.”

 The absence of response from the balloon represents acquiescence.

Catherine turned back to look at the nice-looking tree house. The next second the patient living in it left in a sleepwalking state, and the words carved on the tree turned into a smiling face.

The tree house is located at a high place and can have a view of most of the surrounding areas.

 Catherine constructed a chair surrounded by flowers with a snap of her fingers, and sat on a high place waiting for the sunrise.

When she glanced at the bungalow area in the inner circle, she accidentally caught a strangely dressed patient.

Moreover, Catherine couldn't see through the other person with her flower eyes. She could only feel an inexplicable heat, which even made her sweat a little.

 When she wanted to see clearly again, the individual in the cloak turned suddenly.

 The moment they looked at each other, Catherine decisively closed her eyes, and bursts of heat overflowed from her eyelids. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, as if she saw something unexpected.

"Oh! Isn't this...that kid? He actually became independent and became so powerful. In this case, the rising of the new moon this time is most likely related to William."

time flies.

There are only ten minutes left before the rumored five days, and it is now 11:50 pm.

　　The underground suns walking around Lupu are all squatting down and sleeping, and the light source only comes from candles lit by moon gazers outside the city, or some self-luminous devices.

The moon-gazers, who had been noisy in the past few days, became extremely quiet at this moment, all looking at the upper end of Lupu City.

　　Boom!

A ripple spread out.

There seems to be a certain inclusion gradually emerging in the dark night,

The things rising from the city are also black, so that they are almost invisible against the dark night background. However, some patients with advanced night vision can roughly see some details.

　　Without the surprise and excitement of witnessing the new moon,

 What replaced it was a kind of panic and fear,

 “This is definitely not the moon…”

 ‘Mom’, who had been searching for traces of Catherine, also stopped and looked at the rising object with a frown.

On the treehouse hung with clown lights, the balloon directly transformed into the shape of Art's head, with an almost crazy smile.

“Haha! Is this William’s new theater? It really suits my taste. I really underestimate him for coming up with such an idea.

The so-called [New Moon Rumors] could not have been deliberately released by him, right? The purpose was to have the first performance here, but they actually deceived us all. "

 Under the gaze of everyone,

 The dark and huge sphere gradually rose,

When it is level with the clouds, the surface of the sphere gradually overflows with a luster that is between moonlight and metallic silver. As the light illuminates, the so-called 'moon' gradually reveals its true appearance.

 The craters of the moon correspond to the eye sockets and nose.

 But the mouth is a little different. The lip structure made of soft metal can move freely like a human, showing a smiling or sad expression. There is even a row of white teeth embedded in it.

What’s even weirder is that ‘Yue’ has long black hair hanging loosely on her head, and each hair exudes an aura of fear. This is exactly the “boss hair” that was split from the circus tent.

 It is more like a living head than a [moon].
