In Xia's understanding, the sun can never be black.
This doesn't make sense.
Black is a void without any color, while sunlight is pure and contains most colors.
She never thought that she would see the black sun in her lifetime.
The sun hung high in the sky, and because it was so dark, it looked like a hole in the sky.
There are surging clouds around the sun.
Those clouds rotated around the black sun at a speed visible to the naked eye, driving the surrounding scenery.
Further away is the "wall" that Xia had just seen.
This is a wall of wind, the cloud wall surrounding the eye of the typhoon.
There is no doubt that after the noise and commotion just now, the island has entered the eye of the typhoon.
Here, there is no movement at all, this is a completely still world.
Outside the island, strong winds stronger than any storm in human history are raging. The influence of this typhoon radiates directly to thousands of miles away. Most of the Pacific Ocean is now in heavy rain. Even on the continent close to the ocean, the weather is gloomy and a storm is about to come.
If there were astronauts in the space station looking down at the earth at this moment, they would see that it was like a huge eye had appeared on the planet, and an unprecedented super typhoon was hideous and terrifying.
But being in the eye of the typhoon, Lu Ban only felt silence.
He crawled out from the pile of snacks and building debris and saw that the surrounding environment had darkened, as if all the light had been absorbed by the black sun in the sky.
Lu Ban was not too surprised by the sun because he had seen a similar scene in the ancient He Island.
"Did you know this?"
Lu Ban asked Amber in his arms.
Amber shook her head.
"It seems this is not the gift Charlotte left for us."
Lu Ban said self-deprecatingly, it was obvious that this thing was the work of the "Man of Darkness".
Thinking about it this way, the escape of the Old Ones sealed on the island might also be related to the [Man of Darkness].
He is like a guy who acts to make the world more lively. He constantly travels between various foreign lands, releasing those old rulers and bringing chaos to the foreign lands.
“What, what is this?”
The cashier also survived. When he saw the sun in the sky, he collapsed.
Wailing and screaming were heard one after another. The survivors on the island were seeking rescue, but no one could help them.
Those who were lucky, like Lu Ban and his friends, hid under the tables or in the gaps against the walls on the first floor and managed to escape.
Those who were unlucky and lived on the second floor and didn’t have time to escape were killed on the spot.
And those who survived are not lucky either, because they may have to endure things more terrifying than death.
Noticing the black sun in the sky, many people fell into panic, confusion and despair. They forgot what to do and didn't know what to do. They could only sit there blankly, staring at the sky.
"It's as if the typhoon's movement has stopped."
Xia estimated that the typhoon's movement speed was extremely fast. It took only a dozen minutes for it to reach the island from the horizon. But now, the storm seemed to have no intention of leaving and just stayed here.
This is of course a very small probability.
But according to Amber and Lu Kan, this storm was man-made, er, caused by God, so even a small probability is normal.
But this black sun always gives people a feeling of unreality.
“Oh my god!”
Suddenly, someone screamed in the ruins nearby and pointed at the sun in the sky.
Since the sun is pure black, even looking directly at it will not damage your eyesight. Xia observed carefully and saw that around the spherical sun, it seemed as if something was scattered. Countless debris fell down like tadpoles, falling along the high-speed rotating storm.
The debris was all black, like long twisted snakes. Although they looked like mosquito-sized pieces to our eyes now, once the distance was taken into consideration, we knew that each of these "bugs" might be tens of meters long. They were definitely not "small bugs" but giant pythons.
"These appear to be the gifts that the Dark Man prepared for us."
Lu Ban thought for a moment. He probably knew what the Dark Man was thinking. He wanted to use these monsters to kill him, extract his soul, and place it in another foreign land, or use it as material to complete some evil games.
And if Amber and Xia died before that, Lu Ban might have the opportunity to return to reality with the help of Charlotte's power.
"It's too late."
Amber glanced at Xia, and it seemed like she might go over Lu Ban and take action.
"Don't worry, the situation we are in now is actually the key to breaking the deadlock."
Lu Ban stopped Amber, and due to the urgency of the situation, he could only speak briefly.
"This foreign land possesses some power that exceeds the authority of the Dark Man, so the law that knowledge equals pollution does not take effect. He is willing to be in danger, so he also gives us an opportunity."
"Also, He did not cast His gaze here, because that would freeze history. But He cannot stop looking forever, because He still needs to confirm my condition in the end."
"So, we only have one chance to let Him cast His gaze over here and complete the freezing of history. Under the witness of an Outer God incarnation, there is a chance that certain things that have not yet been witnessed will be reversed."
He looked at Amber and Shia.
"In the foreign land, you have already died and were witnessed by the Land of Silence. Now, you two appear before me like this. Therefore, as long as you find an opportunity to let the [Man of Darkness] witness your survival with his own eyes, then you will have a chance to live as 'now'."
Simply put, Amber and Shia are both dead, but their souls were stolen by the Dark Man and given a second life here.
Therefore, the current Amber and Sia are actually "clones" with the memories of Amber and Sia.
The real Amber and Shia are dead, but the "clones" are living people.
If this fact is confirmed by the Outer Gods, then Lu Ban may be able to take them both out of this world and into the real world.
The key to everything is to get the [Man of Darkness] to confirm what happened here in some way.
Combining the characteristics of this world, Lu Ban had a bold and crazy idea.
That is, to awaken the god above gods who is sleeping in this foreign land or is related to this foreign land.
When He wakes up, the [Man of Darkness] will definitely come over.
Therefore, the top priority for Lu Ban and his friends now is to survive the attack from these monsters that are coming out in droves.
