Pollution throughout the territory

Xia Ren found it from the witch. It might be an invitation to the Dark Festival. He didn't tell the truth because the existence of the system could not be explained clearly.

Niu Changshou thought for a while: "It's really possible. I heard that when the Dark Festival is held, all the ghouls will go to the Dark Festival. They may be teleported through this magic circle."

Xia Ren took the invitation back from him, thought about it, and decided that it would be safer to go back to Dreamland and ask Pickman.

But last time he entered in his spiritual body, he has not yet tried whether he can bring physical objects in.

Xia Ren had an idea: "If it doesn't work, can't we just ask Pickman to come out?"

This is a method.

The painting was also brought to him. He immediately took action and asked Niu Changshou to take charge of the aftermath while he took Lily back to the hotel.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning. He picked up the painting, holding the invitation in his hand and repeating it over and over again, immersed in it again.

When he opened his eyes again, Xia Ren had already arrived at the forest in the painting. The first thing he did was to look down at his palms. Fortunately, he could bring in the invitation letter.

This was already the third time he came here. He walked to the cabin with familiarity, opened the door, and arrived at the bottom of the Nass Valley in Dreamland.

Unlike last time, this time he walked for a while and didn't meet a single ghoul, which made him feel a little strange.

Xia Ren went directly to their underground cave, and met McClan who was about to come out. He was wearing a strange armor and holding a spear in his hand. He looked like a warrior planning to go to the battlefield.

"where you go?"

Xia Ren stopped the other party.

McClan looked very surprised to see it was him: "Why are you back again?"

Xia Ren explained: "I have something to ask Pickman."

McClan paused the spear in his hand and said: "That's really unlucky. The high priest is currently on the moon fighting the moon beast. It will probably take several days to come back. I am also preparing to go. What can you do? Let me see if I can help you."

Xia Ren was a little disappointed when he heard that Pickman was not here, but fortunately McClain was a warm-hearted ghoul.

He took out the red invitation and said, "This is the ticket to the Dark Festival. Please help me see what the magic circle on it is used for."

"You actually got me. It's amazing, brother. Let me see."

McClain patted him on the shoulder with an admiring expression, then took the invitation and took a look at it.

Then, he stared at the magic circle, frowned slightly, and his expression slowly became serious.

After a while, McClan breathed a sigh of relief, handed the invitation letter back to Xia Ren, and said: "There is a teleportation circle above this, which may lead directly to the festival site, but I have not actually entered it, so I can't. I can’t promise you. In addition, this magic circle is quite special, and its effect will only be triggered on the night of the new moon."

New moon night, that is, tomorrow night.

Xia Ren finally felt relieved and said, "Thank you."

"It's okay."

McClan waved his hands nonchalantly, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "You haven't been to Dreamland yet, have you? Do you want to go to the moon with me? I'll show you the moon beasts and cats."

"Moon beast and... cat?"

Although Xia Ren was curious, he still refused: "I have very important things to do tomorrow, so I can only thank you for your kindness."

"Oh, let's have a chance next time."

After McClan finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Xia Ren, came to the door of the cave and whistled.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ren saw a huge creature with limbs close to humans and bat wings on its back flying down from the top of Nas Valley and landing next to McClan.

It has a smooth and smooth skin like a whale, and a pair of inward-curved horns on its head. It was originally a face, but it has no facial features, only a symbolic blank.

This flying creature is similar in size to Bayaki, but its appearance is completely different, but it seems that it can also be driven by humans.

McClan flipped over and rode on its back, flying towards the sky.

Xia Ren watched them disappear from sight and put away his envious eyes.

"It will be great if I can have a flying mount someday."

He remembered that in his original mask form, in addition to a lot of tentacles, there were also wings on the back, but he didn't know if he would grow them as his strength increased in the future.

With some expectations for the future, Xia Ren walked out of the dreamland.

Returning to reality, he held the invitation tightly in his hand and looked out the window at the night sky.

When the sun rises and darkness falls again, he will go to the festival and face large swaths of ghouls.

Although he had no chance of winning, he had to go.

…

…

On the other side, in the dark cave.

Qin Yun and Lu Yi sat side by side in the corner, observing their surroundings.

When she woke up for the first time and saw the nephew who was supposed to be dead appearing in front of her, she had already realized her situation.

Qin Yun tried to break away and call for help, but all failed. Liu Fusheng's poison took control of her whole body, and even the Shoggoth organization refused to obey her. Lu Yi's eyelids were sewn shut, and the wish-granting mirror was sealed in the eyeball. In, there is no way to escape.

She didn't know how much time had passed outside. She only remembered that during this period, she and Lu Yi were moved to many places and finally came to this cave.

Confusion, hesitation, and helpless emotions accumulated in my heart and could not be evacuated.

Qin Yun seemed to be talking to herself, and murmured as if she was confiding: "Xia Ren must be very anxious. Can he adapt without me around? Will he miss me?"

"What's so good about that guy? He's lustful and courageous, but everyone likes him."

Lu Yi's eyelids were sewn together with silk thread, and the wound was covered with blood scabs. Judging from the tone of voice, the person who said this should be Da Yuanjing.

Qin Yun sighed, not in the mood to pay attention to her stubbornness.

At this moment, a man wearing a purple trench coat walked in from the entrance of the cave.

Liu Fusheng squatted beside them with a smile and said, "How have you been these past few days? My dear aunt, if you feel uncomfortable or dissatisfied with anything, you are welcome. You can tell me directly."

Qin Yun looked at his face, a bit of anger flashing in her eyes: "No need to pretend here, if you really care about me, then let us go."

"That's not okay."

Liu Fusheng shook his head: "I have already given you to the ghouls, but I have no right to let you go again."

Qin Yun's angry expression was filled with sadness: "Don't you have any humanity at all?"

"human nature?"

A cruel smile appeared on Liu Fusheng's lips: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for killing the human nature that has always troubled me."

He stood up, turned around and was about to leave, suddenly paused, then turned around and said: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that you are all precious sacrifices, and you will be given to the great god at the ceremony tonight. And then give birth to blasphemous heirs.”

Qin Yun slowly opened her eyes: "What did you say...?"

The smile on Liu Fusheng's face became even stronger.

"I'm quite looking forward to what my aunt will be like if she becomes a mother."

Yes, it's this expression, a little more angry, a little more painful...

Liu Fusheng smiled crazily, and his purple trench coat became even more gorgeous in the darkness.

As he left the cave, he clapped his hands and said, "It's so gratifying, so gratifying!"
