There is an abandoned chapel on the top, which seems to have been destroyed by a bomb, with bricks and tiles falling off the wall and beams and pillars falling to the ground.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by the corner of the collapsed wall, and his movements were very panicked.
Wu Daosheng followed with doubts in his heart. He wanted to ask what happened here and why the whole town was so dead silent.
In the collapsed cellar, an old man in tattered clothes, skinny and bony, was hiding in a crevice, holding a handful of wild vegetables in his hands. Fear filled his face, and his cloudy eyes stared intently at the outside.
He knew that the man had just discovered him.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard beside him, and a young man in a white robe appeared in front of him, looking at him with gentle eyes.
"Old man! I have no ill intentions! I just want to inquire about something!"
The voice is as gentle as water, as if soothing the tense mood and making people relax their vigilance.
The thin old man thought for a moment and invited him in, because he felt that he had nothing to lose.
Wu Daosheng nodded, crawled through a narrow hole, and came to the cellar under the collapsed wall corner.
After entering, Wu Daosheng's heart tightened, and he felt very sympathetic towards the old man's life, with a look of pity on his face.
The cellar was extremely dark. Apart from a water boiler, some bottles and jars, and a tattered quilt, there were only some dried wild vegetables.
The old man's eye sockets were sunken, his hair was dirty and messy, and he looked like a homeless person. His clothes were tattered and his skinny skeleton could be seen underneath.
The old man seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse.
"What are you doing here, young man?"
"I passed by here and saw it was so quiet. I wanted to check what happened that made the residents afraid to go out."
Wu Daosheng expressed his doubts
"Alas...what else could it be? Are you afraid of being caught?"
"Every now and then, a group of demons would come here. They would capture anyone they saw and take them to the industrial park to torture them for fun..."
Wu Daosheng's eyes fixed, and a surge of anger rose in his heart, but he did not show it, and his gentle voice sounded again.
"Why is this so? Isn't there anyone in the city who takes care of these things?"
After hearing this, the old man became a little emotional and roared angrily.
"It was those demons who did it! They were extremely vicious, arresting anyone they saw. Those who tried to escape were shot to death by them. Many people..."
"My son and my wife were beaten to death by them. I..."
The old man's face was filled with grief and indignation. He told the young man all the actions of the group of people in the city and all the bloody things that happened.
It turns out that this town was formerly called Muling Town. There were many residents in the town and they lived a very healthy life.
There are herds of cattle and sheep in Muling Town. Local residents are engaged in animal husbandry and make a fortune by collecting cow and sheep milk.
Until the demons came, the prosperity of the town was gone, and there were wailing everywhere.
At first, the group only wanted protection money, and if they didn't pay, they would smash the furniture. Many people were frightened and moved out overnight.
Half of the town's residents disappeared overnight.
Later, the group set up an aisle to block those who wanted to move out. From then on, life became more and more difficult. Some people could not bear this kind of life and committed suicide at home.
However, the town's disaster had just begun.
Seeing that the profits were not up to par, the group began to rob people of their property. If anyone resisted, they would take them away and torture them to death.
Later, they discovered a new profit model, which was to allow these people to defraud other people's property through fraud training.
So the demons began to capture people alive and sent them to the industrial park for brainwashing training, forcing them to defraud other people of their money.
As time went by, the town fell into its current miserable state. The people living here lived like rats, not daring to go out during the day and could only come out at night to dig wild vegetables and grass roots.
Now, the old man is tired of life. He feels that there is no hope in life and everything is meaningless.
Wu Daosheng sat aside and became more and more silent as he listened. He didn't know what to say or how to comfort her.
It was as if a huge rock was blocking my heart, heavy and
Suddenly, the roar of a car was heard in the town, echoing in the quiet town, followed by gunshots and curses.
"Oh no! Those demons are on the run again! Young man, hide quickly! They're specifically capturing young people and sending them to the industrial park. Don't get caught!"
The old man looked panicked. He was not afraid of anything happening to himself, but was just worried that the young man would be captured by them.
"Don't worry, old man! I came here just for them! If you trust me, just live well and wait for the darkness to fade away and the dawn to come!"
After saying that, Wu Daosheng stood up and walked out of the cave.
He wants to eradicate evil and remove the haze from the heads of the people here.
