After a brief silence, Li Mo continued along the original route without hesitation.

The three ghosts that were killed with the magic sword last time couldn’t even catch Li Mo’s shadow this time.

The moment he reached the seventeenth floor, Li Mo suddenly stopped, completely going against natural inertia, and turned his head backwards.

"Got you."

The next second, Li Mo's figure disappeared and came in front of Khorne Pado.

Moonlight filtered through the narrow alley, scattering dappled images across the cat carcasses scattered across the floor. Innocent creatures, once vibrant and adorable, now lay silently, fur disheveled, eyes closed, as if uttering a silent wail. An indescribable stench filled the air.

At the end of the alley, a familiar figure slowly emerged from the shadows. A strange smile graced his face, and his heterochromatic eyes stood out in the moonlight.

After discovering Li Mo, Khorne Paddo stood there motionless, but the law had been triggered and the first attack came.

However, there was not even a trace of damage on Li Mo's body, so he was judged as a failure.

The second attack came, and the Doom Ghost uttered a sharp curse that lasted for a long time. His consciousness was not damaged, so he was judged as a failure.

Before the third attack came, Li Mo had already arrived in front of Pado, grabbed her head with his left hand, and smashed it back and forth on the ground and the wall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The enormous force caused the two spaces to continue to fall, and all the houses in Changkong City began to collapse.

The windows began to rattle, the glass screaming in pain from the vibrations.

There was a loud bang like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart. The ground cracked instantly, and the huge crack swallowed up the roads and buildings like a black hole.

Dust and debris flew in the air, blocking out the moonlight and starlight.

Its strange recovery ability is extremely terrifying. Even if it is broken into pieces, it can recover within a few seconds.

However, Pado's head has never been intact since the first attack.

The squeezed and crushed eyeballs, nerves floating in the air. The half-reassembled skull shattered piece by piece into the cracks of the soil underground.

A mist of blood and brain matter spread out, and an expression of fear appeared on Pado's face.

That is Khorne's unique law of awe in the face of the strong.

"Right..."

"don't want……"

"Help..."

"I think……"

Khorne Paddo begged for mercy according to his living instinct, but under Li Mo's crazy venting, he didn't utter even a complete sentence of begging for mercy.

It was not until the entire Changkong City was reduced to a sea of fire and fell into the ground that Li Mo carried the silent Pado and ran towards a safe area in the east.

The only way to silence Khorne is to crush him with absolute strength.

However, this is only a temporary solution and as time goes by, she will become weird again sooner or later.

Previously, due to the limitations of Alicia's ability, she had been suppressed. Now, whenever Pado became weird, Li Mo could only use the death penalty again.

This is the only way.

""usurp"."

Li Mo seized Pado's memory, but due to his own contamination, he only stole part of it.

If the memories related to ghosts are forcibly taken away, the pollution in one's body may be excessive.

Fortunately... Shigure Kirara returned to her own world and is not here.

In the state of four deaths, if you are determined to hurry, hundreds of kilometers will be just a matter of a moment.

Before reaching the safe zone, Li Mo stopped. He saw that the light of the safe zone had disappeared, and what he had just seen was just an illusion.

Li Mo stretched out his hand, feeling the remaining "bright light shining on the earth".

"It completely disappeared a day ago, but only nearby ghosts can sense the disappearance of the light. Ghosts far away are still obscured by the illusion."

"..."

Li Mo didn't say anything else, but walked forward slowly, trying to sense the vitality and silence of the safe zone.

There are living people. There were many before, but now there are only a few.

There are ghosts, yes. There were very few of them before, but now they are everywhere.

After the area inside lost the protection of the light, it took only one day for almost all humans to be wiped out.

The reality is still as cruel as ever. Humans face a huge number of ghosts... and have no means of fighting back.

Suddenly, the ghost's vision gave Li Mo a feedback of an... extremely familiar scene.

"Don't be afraid! As long as we keep looking at that ghost, we can escape! I'll count to ten and then close my eyes. Then you open your eyes and look at it for ten, and then I'll open my eyes and look at it again. We'll take turns, and we'll definitely be able to get away!"

In the ghost's vision, in the basement.

A ghost and two living people are confronting each other.

The ghost resembles an old man in the shape of a peanut, with a bloated body, only one eye, and rotten skin all over his body. He is staring at the living person, motionless, as if he is playing with statues.

Li Mo saw two living people.

A teenage boy and a girl of the same age.

The boy stood in front of the girl, holding her hand tightly with his right hand. The two of them leaned close together and kept backing away from the ghost.

The girl had her eyes closed, was wearing a long dress, her face was as pale as paper, and tears kept flowing from her closed eyes.

The boy was gasping for air, his calves trembling, and his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Despite this, he still mustered up the courage to look the ghost in the eye.

"Eight...nine...ten! Xiaowan, open your eyes!" the boy shouted, and the girl opened her eyes immediately.

The boy took a look and then closed his eyes again, and the two of them retreated cautiously.

At the same time, Li Mo had already arrived beside them, shrouded in shadows and did not take any action.

This ghost posed no threat to him, and he only needed to make a slight move to save the two. But for some reason, he wanted to keep watching...

Li Mo didn't know why he did this. It was very strange and confusing. The most efficient way was to kill the ghost directly and then find the place where the familiar breath disappeared.

"..."

"Oh!"

The accident happened suddenly. There was not much light in the dark basement. Both of them tripped while retreating and lost sight of the ghost.

At the moment of falling, the boy hugged the girl and covered her under himself.

After triggering the pattern, the ghost teleported to the boy's outstretched hand, and a pair of shriveled corpse hands suddenly grew out of its bloated body.

Before the corpse's hand could wrap around the boy's neck, the blood-red light of the knife illuminated the dark basement.

Just before the corpse's hand reached out, Li Mo walked out of the shadows and into the light.

And close your eyes, triggering the ghost's killing pattern.

He is bound by Heiyuan and cannot save others, but can save himself. He is targeted by a ghost and then killed by Chizome Sakura.

"If you want to live, run in that direction. Don't try to follow me. You'll die faster."

Li Mo pointed to the east and then disappeared into the basement.

He didn't have the time to protect two ordinary people, as they were not worth his protection.

"..."

"..."

There weren't many ghosts along the way. Perhaps out of fear of the remaining "divine" light, most ghosts chose to hunt in places illuminated by ordinary lights.

After a short journey, Li Mo came to a corpse that was emitting a constant stream of light.

She leaned against the tattered gray-black wall, with many white flowers under her body, her eyes closed lightly, and she looked as peaceful and quiet as if she was asleep.

The girl falls among the pure white flowers, symbolizing death and sacrifice.

Although there were broken walls and piles of corpses all around her, her mere presence seemed to imbue the devastated scene with a layer of holy light.

"Alicia..."

Li Mo recognized the other person's identity.

Her face was like an exquisite porcelain doll, fair and delicate, but her clean face was stained with too much blood and sand.

She did not transform into the Herrscher of Humanity, but wore a simple white dress.

"..."

Li Mo looked at her with cold, empty eyes.

"Xiao Xiaomo, do I look good? This pink dress really suits me!"

"It's okay actually. You look good in anything you wear."

"So, do you think I should wear this pink dress or the white dress?"

"Let's take both. We're not short of money anyway."

"Hmm, Xiao Xiaomo really doesn't understand girls' feelings. He even thinks of the reason so bluntly. You should say...Alicia looks good in everything she wears, I like it all!"

"While that's certainly true... I don't think anything too fancy looks good. Maybe my preferences are different from others, but I think simplicity is fine."

"Simply?"

"Well, like that pure white dress just now."

"No way! Alicia is all about being dazzling and beautiful. White is too monotonous. Glittering white and colorful black are the best!"

③Dim, gorgeous, stars falling like rain

Memories of the past flashed for a moment.

Li Mo's eyes grew colder, and he stood motionless before the corpse. After a long moment, he slowly raised the demon sword and placed it against Alicia's heart, muttering in a daze, "Then why...are you welcoming death in this dress?"

"It's not pretty at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp sword pierced through the fragile flesh and blood, suddenly stopped for a moment, and then continued to pierce forward until it pierced the entire body.

The moment of pause was because the tip of the knife was against the heart and the touch was different.

Li Mo pulled the magic sword out of Alicia's body, and blood dripped down the blade to the ground.

Li Mo lowered his eyes, his cloudy eyeballs fixed on the blood dripping from the tip of the knife.

The only thing he could do was to keep moving forward, go to the Destiny headquarters, and find his only remaining companion.

On the way, the magic sword glowed with a pink light, transformed into stars, and swirled around Li Mo.

It was as if their owners were accompanying Li Mo.

"..."

"..."

Alicia's smile is one of her trademarks. When she smiles, her eyes sparkle with joy, making people unable to help but get closer to her.

Alicia enjoys interacting with others, whether with comrades or strangers, quickly finding topics of common interest and creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. However, when someone tries to get closer to her, she pulls back a bit, feigning mystery and teasing, always maintaining a hazy distance.

She does everything according to her heart, freely and unrestrainedly. She only spends time on the people she likes, but everyone likes her very much. She only spends time on interesting things, but everything is interesting. She is such an innocent girl who holds such beliefs and embraces every day with sincerity and enthusiasm.

My wardrobe is the largest in the house, and I have more than one. It's filled with all sorts of clothes, and my outfit changes with my mood. I usually choose brighter, more vibrant colors and add some cute decorations to make myself stand out from the crowd.

Such insignificant memories...

after all--

Alicia is dead.

How long have you been dead?

Maybe it was before coming to the Eigenworld, or maybe it was the day before.

Don't know, don't know.
