7) Paradise Lost (Part 8) -4k chapter-

The dark picture frame gradually unfolded, just like the night covering the earth like a curtain, dyeing the vision of Perlis and Carly into pure darkness.

Walking through the dark space, countless whispers came across the scale of time in the courtyard, playing together into a broken symphony:

“No…I don’t want to…”

"Mommy mommy!"

"Run! Kids, get to the basement! Go!"

"Hide behind me! Hide behind me!"

“Nooooooooooooooooo——”

The screams came and went, as if countless ghosts were lingering around Perlis and Carly, crisscrossing each other.

Then, the darkness quietly dissipated, and everything in front of me suddenly became clear.

This is a basement with a dome structure, decorated with candles on all sides, looking ancient and deep.

The oppressive feeling as if being suffocated underwater disappeared, and Perlis knew that this meant they had left the [underworld] and entered the normal world.

"This is the basement." Perlis whispered.

"Yes, it is the source of the information." The blue light around Carly reappeared, "This means..."

"Welcome, ladies."

A high-pitched voice was heard, and Perlis and Carly stared at the opposite wall and found that the source of the sound was a picture frame.

A shadow emerged from the frame and quickly took shape, transforming into a hooded cultist.

Then, countless believers poured out from the picture frames on all sides, quickly occupying half of the black basement and surrounding Perlis and Carly.

"Or should I call you by your name?" said the leading cultist. "Perlis Havrgard."

"You saw me coming," said Perlis.

"Of course, after all, that being knows everything," the cultist's face was calm, without the fanaticism of the cultist during the Pure Water Lake incident. "It is amazing to be able to travel through the labyrinth of the netherworld. So, may I ask what is the purpose of your visit?"

"You actually asked me," Perlis said coldly, "Have you forgotten about Chaoqu City and Jingshui Lake?"

"what..."

The believers were silent for a moment, as if a little surprised:

"We didn't do anything, did we? We just showed them what to do, but they did it themselves."

"You are despicable liars." Carly gripped the steam revolver at her waist tightly.

"That's not the case, Carly Fellowes."

The believers opened their arms, and a little smile appeared on their calm faces:

"We are the survivors, the lambs who survived under the protection of the great Lord."

Almost all the Black Tide believers in the room showed the same pious smile. What surprised Perlis was that she did not see the madness on their faces that was seen on the faces of the believers during the Clean Water Lake incident.

"When the well erupts, a black tide will come over the sky, drowning all the termites that hinder the progress of civilization and turning them into nutrients for the earth."

"Then He chose us, when we were just lambs crying in the basement, and He selflessly answered our prayers and allowed us to see the next stage of the world."

The leading believer put his hands together, and at the same time, all the believers behind him made the same movement, like clones.

After hearing these words, Perlis suddenly realized something and said in surprise:

“Are you those students from those years?”

"That was who we were before, the lost lambs," the believers said, "When we saw the revelation He gave us, we completed our transformation."

“What did He show you?”

"The Fall of the Sky."

The words of the believers stirred ripples in the hearts of Perlis and Carly. They looked at each other and thought of one thing at the same time -

——The "grave" that shrouds the sky will eventually degrade.

What they saw... was the end of the world after the sky barrier completely dissipated?

But how can they confirm whether it is true or not?

Perlis frowned and Carly did not speak either. The two of them just stared at the believers silently.

"In the starlight of doomsday, the only way to survive is to ascend," the cultist continued, "the termites that hinder the great progress should have been destroyed long ago."

The cultist took out a black emblem from his black robe. Perlis recognized it at a glance. It was the [Black Emblem], which was most likely the tool they used to construct the previous maze.

"You two obviously have bad intentions in coming here, but I think we can still have friendly negotiations with the son of Hafrigard," said the believer.

"We need the key to the lab," said Perlis. "It's with you, right?"

"That's right." The believer nodded.

"Hand it over." Perlis stretched out her hand.

"This is difficult to handle, because the key to the Lord's resurrection is hidden inside," the believer's voice was much lower. "Can you please leave?"

"Do not."

"Then you will become the Lamb's meal."

At that moment, all the believers raised their heads, and their arms under their robes were already holding cold weapons of various shapes.

"The Black Khan is slaughtering your companions," the cultist whispered, "and you will stop here."

The words of the believers made Perlis and Carly feel nervous - the information they received before verified that the [Tower of Babel] could indeed interfere with the actions of the Black Tide ecosystem.

We must fight quickly and decisively, otherwise Su Yao and the others might not be able to hold on for long.

"..."

The cultist pressed the [Black Emblem] against his chest, and the strange creature slowly sank into his chest, igniting a strange black aura around him.

"Well, let's see, is the White Flame more powerful, or is the Black Tide more powerful..."

“I’m awesome.”

Perlis blurted out, and the next second, all the believers fell to the ground, groaning and screaming.

The [White Flame Seat] in her eyes slowly faded away - just now, she resolved the battle in the three-second time stop.

It happened so suddenly.

"How...how is it possible..."

The leading cultist was struggling and twitching. A hole was cut in his robe, and the pendant inside leaked out - it was a key to the laboratory.

Perlis walked up to him, pulled the key from his neck and put it in her pocket.

"Live in the basement forever," Perlis said. "The starry sky is too bright for you."

Perlis turned around and looked at Carly. The pink-haired otaku girl obviously hadn't reacted yet. From her perspective, the believers fell down suddenly.

"Is it...over?" Carly put away the [Ice Blue Light] that had already fully charged with energy with a bit of disappointment.

"Qi Lang once said, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" Perlis patted Carly on the shoulder, "Carly doesn't need to do this kind of trivial matter."

"They all seem to be alive," Carly glanced at the believers lying on the ground, "Little White Flower, why are you..."

She didn't say the rest - why not kill them.

In response, Perlis was silent for a moment, then replied softly:

"Because, they are the children that teachers are trying to protect."

This is not because Perlis is overly kind-hearted, nor does she think that the actions of these believers are excusable. From any perspective, Perlis believes that the mistakes made by the cult are heinous.

But Perlis didn't think she was qualified to judge the choices made by those children hiding in the basement. They made choices for survival, and it was that era that pushed them into the shadows.

She would leave these people to Qi Lang to deal with, which was Qi Lang's own contradiction.

"We should go."

"Don't you need to get the [Black Emblem] out?" Carly pointed at the cultist lying on the ground, "Maybe it will be useful."

"The Black Angel must want us to do this," Perlis smiled softly, "He left the Black Emblem here, probably because he wanted to use it to confirm my whereabouts again."

Having made the same mistake once, Perlis would never make it again.

"Then let's go."

Perlis condensed a red line and cut it with a butterfly knife, and a crack appeared.

Before escaping into the rift, Perlis looked back at the believers lying on the ground for the last time - their eyes were filled with confusion, emptiness, and anxiety.

......

"You look stronger than I thought."

Li Zhonghe swung the silver sword, and four or five similar swords flew out from behind him and surrounded him.

He looked directly at the Black Khan on the other side of the street. That powerful monster had just razed all the surrounding buildings to the ground with just two arrows. It was obvious that he was not an easy opponent.

However, once his location is confirmed, it will only be a matter of time before he is annihilated.

All that remained was to stop him.

"Well, please give me your guidance."

Li Zhonghe waved his sword, and four or five silver swords flew out, flying towards the [Black Khan] under the guidance of the factor energy.

"Boom boom boom——"

It hit the Khan, emitting a red annihilation light, but was quickly torn apart by a pitch-black claw.

——The giant wolf roared and attacked, waving its huge claws towards Li Zhonghe.

"clang--"

Li Zhonghe blocked the attack with his sword and was knocked back a few steps by the claws. He then flew into the air and slashed with his sword, sending out a blade of light.

At the same time, the [Black Khan] riding on the wolf's back raised his huge bow and released the string -

"boom--"

Light blades and arrows exploded in the air, raising sand and dust all over the sky, making the visibility on the battlefield extremely poor for a moment.

But the Black Khan just calmly grew an arrow from his hand again, put it on the bowstring, and shot it into the sky -

"Om-"

The head of the arrow was dragging a high-temperature melt mark. After reaching a certain height, it exploded and turned into countless light spots dragging their tails like tadpoles.

The light spots spread out, and under the guidance of the heat energy, they gradually approached Li Zhonghe in the smoke and dust.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

Several explosions sounded, and Li Zhonghe barely avoided the damage with the help of the factor shield, but he could not help but retreat into the smoke and dust.

When the smoke and dust completely dispersed, he found that the Black Khan had been staring at him - those big golden eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Is he showing off his strength? Li Zhonghe frowned. It was obvious that the Black Khan could see through the smoke and dust, and his arrows had the mysterious power of heat tracking, just like missiles.

There is actually heat tracking... Damn, this monster is really amazing...

But a monster is still a monster, and he is already in the trap.

"When the flowers fall, winter is coming (Qi Lang's words)."

Li Zhonghe shook hands. At this moment, the silver swords he had scattered around at the beginning of the battle suddenly emitted blue light, and then attacked the [Black Khan] from different angles.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”

The giant wolf under [Black Khan] roared violently, and the huge sound waves shook most of the silver swords off track, and only two hit [Black Khan]'s armor accurately.

At this moment, Li Zhonghe drew out a blue crystal sword from his waist and slashed it across space -

"Sizzle!"

A blue crack blossomed - this was the long sword that Li Zhonghe made using the [Spirit Crystal] provided by [Qingqiu Ling] Loulan, which could tear open the subspace below the [Upper Realm].
