Unfathomable Doomsday

Contrary to Alsace's expectations.

The view from the door.

It's a quiet town.

Probably because news of the virus infection spread from Wenhan City not far away.

People in this small town are in a hurry, and many people are planning to leave with their luggage.

If it is normal, this should be a beautiful scenery, the best place to travel, right?

Alsace was already standing at the door wearing a cloak.

For some reason, the camouflage glasses exchanged by the system did not have any effect on Alsace.

This made Lu Qiu a little distressed.

However, this cloak that could cover everything covered Alsace's appearance and that dazzling silver hair.

Where did the master go? Alsace glanced at the street and found that there was no sign of Lu Qiu at all.

She closed her eyes, followed the faint connection with Lu Qiu and gradually walked in Lu Qiu's direction.

Passing through the streets paved with stones, the surrounding buildings are in the church style of Western Europe, not Chinese.

It adds a sacred feeling to this small town.

Now it was the time for the setting sun to set, Alsace's reflection was stretched very, very long.

The town has gradually become quiet and peaceful, making people feel like they want to stay here.

This is the hometown of the master? A hometown of vampires?

Alsace didn't understand why Lu Qiu's hometown was here, shouldn't it be in a gloomy old castle?

She walked out of the town along the path, and found Lu Qiu on a hillside.

Here is a cemetery...

Large and small tombstones are placed here to commemorate the departure of the dead.

And Lu Qiu was at the back of the cemetery. He half-kneeled in front of a tombstone, holding a bunch of flowers in his hand and gently placed it in front of the tombstone.

Alsace walked behind Lu Qiu.

Her first impression of Lu Qiu was that although Lu Qiu was very gentle on the outside, it was just a disguise. On the inside, Lu Qiu was a monster or a lunatic who was desperate for a certain purpose!

After all, Arthas still remembered the memory of being an exorcist very clearly.

From what Lu Qiu did, one can clearly feel his hatred for human beings.

But as a monster, why did he suddenly come to this kind of place?

Cemetery... Human cemetery, this kind of place to mourn the dead of human beings?

Arthas didn't understand very much.

Lu Qiu brushed away the dust on the tombstone with his hands, revealing the occupation of the owner of the tomb.

"Nun..." Alsace whispered the words written in English above.

The nun who gave her all for the light...

Why would the master of darkness visit the nun's grave?

"She is my mother..." Lu Qiu gently stroked the tombstone that had been gradually corroded by the wind.

"Mother?!"

The cat ears on Alsace's forehead stood up.

"Well, there is a foster mother. I was raised by her when I was young. It's surprising. A nun can actually raise a vampire..."

Indeed... surprising.

There was a forced smile on Lu Qiu's face, which was different from the crazy and hypocrisy of the past, but a real powerless smile.

"She's an idiot. As the master of a monastery, she adopts homeless children everywhere, turning the monastery into an orphanage."

Lu Qiu murmured in a low voice, confiding to Alsace.

"And it's very annoying. Every time we eat, she tells us not to forget to thank the gods, and every time we sleep, she tells us not to forget to thank the gods... It's really annoying..."

Lu Qiu stroked the hand of the tombstone, and suddenly stopped...

"Then... what?" Seeing that Lu Qiu stopped talking, Alsace asked instinctively.

"Then? Then died..."

Lu Qiu stood up and looked at what was written on the tombstone.

"This is a beautiful town. It is a good place to travel. It is indeed a good place to travel. The monastery is also a good tourist attraction. It is a good thing to make money...so the real estate developers nearby want to buy this monastery, but That idiot said something stupid like 'If it is sold to you, the children will have no home', and then...then died, human beings are really horrible creatures, things that cannot be obtained, even by force Going to grab it."

"..."

"However, it's really good." Lu Qiu turned his head and looked at Alsace with the same smile on his face. "After she died, it was on the news. The developer didn't dare to ask anything about this town anymore. He was afraid of being found out that he was the mastermind, and then he would be arrested and sent to jail or something. He also gave us a lot of money. Let's not gossip and things like that, so after she died, life at the Abbey, it felt a little bit easier."

It's... good...

It's really, really good.

"Master..." Alsace suddenly noticed something in the corner of Lu Qiu's eye.

"Is it raining?" Lu Qiu turned his head and walked towards the direction of leaving the cemetery: "Alsace is gone, go to that monastery to avoid the rain..."

rain……

Alsace glanced at the setting sun on the small slope, the sun was clearly visible.

She didn't ask any more questions, and just followed Lu Qiu over.

At the end of the cemetery, where we were about to enter the town, we saw a monastery.

A lonely monastery, crows flapping their wings near this dilapidated building.

Lu Qiu didn't have much, walked into this dilapidated monastery, and the crows standing on the building suddenly stiffened and fell down.

Alsace glanced at the nearest dead crow.

Their hearts were crushed and burst...

for a moment.

Alsace glanced at Lu Qiu, not understanding why Lu Qiu did this.

The gate of the monastery was blocked by heavy iron locks, and the surrounding doors and windows were also sealed.

It's like a haunted house, so no one dares to approach it.

Alsace saw Lu Qiu standing at the door.

A breath of frost overflowed from his body, and then the iron lock of the door was frozen into ice and fell to the ground.

Lu Qiu thinks it's really good to have a family member...

He pushed open the door and walked in, the dusty smell filled the whole space the moment he opened the door.

Lu Qiu ignored the statue in the church and walked straight into the room.

At this moment, Lu Qiu could no longer restrain his inner feelings, and walked into the indoor room.

In a small room full of dust, there were several beds and two small coffins.

In front of the bed were a chair and a table, and a kerosene lamp that had run out of kerosene.

Alsace followed Lu Qiu inside, and she glanced at the things on the table at the door.

There is also a book, caressing the dust on it...

is a story book.

She glanced at the layout of the room, and could imagine how the children who used to live in this room spent their evenings.

Listen to the stories told by the person sitting in this chair...and fall asleep peacefully.

Is it the same with the master? She looked at Lu Qiu who was turning over the coffin.

"Find...found it!"

Lu Qiu cried out excitedly.

In one of the coffins he produced a small box.

This window was the only one that was not sealed, and the sun shone in through the window.

"?" Alsace walked behind Lu Qiu, looking at the small box opened in Lu Qiu's hand.

Inside are photos...

Various photos.

All are children's.

But no matter how many photos there were, there were no Lu Qiu's.

Vampires are creatures that are not recognized by the gods, and they will not leave any images on photos.

"Still..."

Like finding a treasure, Lu Qiu found a piece of white paper among the piles of photos...the white paper for painting.

"Great... really... still..." Lu Qiu heaved a sigh of relief, and threw the small box aside, only holding the drawing paper.

"Master?" Alsace walked to Lu Qiu's side, looking at the drawing paper spread out in Lu Qiu's hand...

It's... a girl's...

The age is only about ten years old, with long jet black hair hanging down, squinting her eyes and smiling, with a small tear mole in the corner of her eyes, she stretched out her hands as if to hug someone.

The painter's skill is very superb, almost fully expressing the joyful mood of this girl.

It feels... like real.

Alsace glanced at the initials on the corner of the scroll.

'To my dearest sister...'

younger sister? She looked at Lu Qiu again.

Is she the master's sister? That is to say, it was painted by the master? Where is the master's sister now?

"I've got what I want to take." A scroll for saving drawing paper appeared in Lu Qiu's hand, and he carefully put the drawing paper into it: "It's time to leave this town."

Is this the only thing you want here?

Lu Qiu walked towards the outside of the monastery without any nostalgia.

Alsace, who didn't like to talk too much, continued to follow Lu Qiu silently.

What are you going to do next? Go on... dye the world black?

Maybe it was an illusion, Alsace looked at Lu Qiu's back, she could feel that Lu Qiu still had the last trace of tenderness left, but is this really possible? For a monster?

impossible.

Under the last rays of the setting sun, Lu Qiu passed a jujube garden in this small town.

He glanced at Zaoyuan, but found a petite figure who seemed to be working hard.

It's a little girl... probably sneaked out from home, and she was hungry and wanted to eat those dates.

There are still some red dates left on the trees in winter, not too many.

But Lu Qiu walked into the little girl.

For eating? Alsace looked at Lu Qiu from afar.

Vampires like to eat virgin blood.

However, there was a scene that Alsace didn't expect.

"In this way, you can get it, right?" Lu Qiu picked up the little girl on his back and let her sit on his neck.

"Wow! It's so high! Big brother can get it."

The little girl excitedly stretched out her hand to grab the red date tree branch, and when she grabbed it, there were several big red dates.

"Be careful." Lu Qiu had a smile on his face, as if enjoying the scene.

"En!" After the little girl had grabbed enough red dates, Lu Qiu carefully placed her on the ground.

"Today is only this time, don't run away from home again, your parents will worry." Lu Qiu stroked the girl's head.

"Understood, thank you big brother..." She stuffed a red date in her hand to Lu Qiu: "I will go to my parents, this will be a gift."

"Then goodbye."

Lu Qiu stood in the orchard, watching the little girl bouncing away from the orchard.

"Owner?"

After that, Alsace walked up to Lu Qiu, completely unable to understand why Lu Qiu did this.

But the smile on Lu Qiu's face was real.

"Don't ask anything, don't say anything." Lu Qiu pointed to the setting sun that was about to set.

"Come watch the sunset with me, this town... the last sunset..."

"..."

In the end, Alsace and Lu Qiu sat together on a high slope, on which the whole town could be seen at a glance.

At the same time, the cemetery is not far away.

At the moment when the sun finally set.

At the moment when the whole town was shrouded in darkness, a quiet and comfortable atmosphere spread out in this night.

"Alsace." Lu Qiu whispered to his subordinates, holding the scroll containing the scroll in his hand.

"?"

"Summon your undead army."

"Master!" Alsace's cat ears stood up again, and she stared at Lu Qiu who was still smiling.

"Summon your undead army, didn't you hear? This is the first order, do you want to violate it?"

"But master..."

Here... is your hometown! Lu Qiu's remembrance of this small town just now is definitely not false, and there are tears...

Why……

"I came to this small town, and this is the only thing I need."

Lu Qiu raised the painting in his hand.

Only this is enough...

"Indeed, I admit that I want to protect this town and keep it peaceful forever, but it's impossible."

Lu Qiu tightened his grip on the painting in his hand.

"Any life can only protect one thing in a lifetime. If there are too many things, it will lose its meaning. All I want is this... So Alsace, let me see your undead army. In this world, I Let it be completely dyed dark black."

"clear……"

She stopped talking, and the cloak on Arthas fluttered, revealing her long hair that was silverier than snow. The great Lich King drew out his eternal sword! Frostmourne!

A shuddering dark atmosphere spread throughout the land.

Wake up! my army!

Arthas stabbed Frostmourne into the ground.

Then, the ground began to shake, and a large number of dead bones suddenly appeared in the soil, one after another, they were holding rotten sword blades, and the blue soul fire was burning in their pupils, rattling and rattling. Rotten sound...

Army of the dead!

"Let this town turn into a sea of ​​flames..."

This time, it was Lu Qiu who gave the order...

"Destroy!" Lu Qiu took off his camouflage glasses and threw them aside, the scarlet color in his pupils burst out completely...

"Destroy everything within sight! Don't leave anything behind! Burn every brick and tile! Kill all life! Lick all blood! No matter what!! Give me everything! I destroy it!"

Lu Qiu waved his hand! The undead army let out a piercing roar, and they marched towards the peaceful town.

Started to trample on everything in this small town...

Everything!

All I need is this thing in my hand! Lu Qiu has made up his mind from the very beginning, even if he destroys everything, even himself, as long as she is enough!

Owner……

Alsace looked at Lu Qiu standing among the endless army of undead, mighty? Can't beat it? Does it make people tremble all over? Alsace didn't think so, she just felt that Lu Qiu was very pitiful...

As for the reason... Alsace looked at one of the undead army, which didn't hold a sword, shield, or any weapon. Judging from its rotten clothes, it seemed to be a nun...

It has been reduced to bones, fighting with its own hands and teeth...

The corpses in that cemetery also joined the undead army...

Now, Alsace could understand how terrifying Lu Qiu's determination was.

Even if you abandon yourself, you will destroy this world.

So... what exactly made him like this?

Is it because of the painting in his hand? Or... the beautiful girl in the painting, the person she wants to hug must be Lu Qiu.
