Chapter 23 Chapter 45 The Lightless One
Ni Lan was standing on the spire of the church. Legend has it that when the God of Light came to the world, he left behind a gem to guide the world. Now it is inlaid on the main spire of the Church of Light, but a similar architectural style has been preserved.
In some places, the cement is simply painted with a layer of paint. In places with more funds, for example, the spire of the school is inlaid with a pure and flawless purple crystal, which presents a dreamy color under the sunlight.
But the night does not know the value of treasures, it devours everything equally.
The boy's golden eyes were like flawless crystals, unable to reveal any wonderful emotions when the sunlight faded.
The entire night was competing with the dawn, and countless people hoped that the chaos would continue.
Ni Lan stared at the group of uninvited guests who broke into the school. They were wearing the same uniform, with the only identification being the crooked cross on their masks.
【The Lightless One】
This is a group of thugs who claim to be from the Shadow Land. They believe that the God of Light has abandoned his mission, causing disasters to wreak havoc on the world.
The alien reaction is the world's way of purifying itself. Only by allowing the alien world to devour reality and then kill God can the world be saved.
There is an alien world reaction under the Lanster School of Supernatural Powers. Due to the lockdown of the school, very few people know about it, but the Lightless Ones are among those who know about it.
Over the past fifty years, batch after batch of Lightless Ones have been eyeing this place.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they will never give it up.
Not long after the group broke in, the sounds of fighting inside disappeared, but no reinforcements came. It was obvious that the Lightless Ones had won.
Ni Lan continued to watch all this without taking any action, until three 'sneaky' figures appeared.
The barrier had been damaged to the point of being almost paralyzed. Even without Zoila replacing the barrier, they could still enter smoothly.
After the three of them had completely entered the church, Ni Lan jumped down from the spire and walked into the church.
——
The fighting power of this group of people was actually not very strong. With the cooperation of the three people, the pursuers soon all fell to the ground.
"...How did they get into the school?"
"I don't know, but it's obviously been planned for a long time."
Zoila poked the last person who fainted and tried to remove the mask from his head.
"I remember it was a terrorist organization, and its name seemed to be something like... something like The Family Without Light?"
Puis suddenly remembered.
"The Lightless One of the Shadowlands."
"ah!"
Before she could finish her words, Zoila screamed and fell backwards to the ground.
She pointed at the man's head and trembled, "Fuck, these...the masks on these guys are...are..."
The mask is their face.
"So what are the Lightless Ones of the Shadowlands?"
"A group of people who hate the God of Light. They create and expand alien reactions."
Pomo didn't understand yet, and he wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but was stopped by Puis, who then gently kicked the man's head in another direction.
"Let's go."
Zoila stood up and patted her clothes in disgust. "What kind of twisted beliefs can allow these people to do such things...harming themselves and others."
But it would certainly be wrong to ask Pomer and Puys this question.
"I have never understood what faith is. The dean's mother once told us that faith is to give everything we have to the God of Light, but I have always felt that the God of Light might not like this."
Pomo gave his thoughts very honestly, but that might be a bit irritating to those who truly believed in the God of Light.
"That's just human wishful thinking. The church doesn't even have proof that the God of Light existed." What Puis said was even more outrageous. Fortunately, the other person present was not a devout believer either.
Zoila coughed twice, "I hope I can get by in my life, so I didn't hear a word you said!"
The girl's family was not a prominent one, and was only considered upper-middle class in the imperial capital, but they were devout believers in light.
Originally Zoila was one of them, but since she prayed devoutly to God, hoping that God could find her missing mother, but still no news, Zoila began to question her own faith.
Lanster School of Supernatural Powers has no requirements for faith, and only values supernatural powers. As a result, Zoila got to know more people without faith, and became more "tolerant".
The three returned to the place where they had just been attacked, and when they got closer they could see a very bloody scene.
Zoila only recognized some of them wearing the uniforms of the school security department, and some...probably teachers.
"I've confirmed that they are all dead. Don't look too closely. We have to go back and report."
Puis sighed, then made an immediate decision.
The school was invaded, so the three of them were able to get in so easily, but this also means that the invasion had been planned for a long time, or even... an inside and outside collaboration.
Pomo's [Foresight] has explained everything. The reason why the sealed alien world reaction broke out was because of the conspiracy of this group of lightless people.
"Es, you and Ira go back. I have to go."
A feeling of urgency crept up from his spine to Pomo's ears, telling him that the disaster was approaching.
"No, I won't let you go alone." The Lightless Ones are the biggest threat to the Empire and the Church. If they want to stir up this turmoil, it is impossible for them to be the only ones. Bo Mo is not their opponent.
But it was obvious that Pomo had made up his mind and no one could persuade him.
Puis turned and looked at Zoila.
"Although I said I would share the hard times with you, ahem, that's not what I said originally, but I also know that calling for reinforcements is more important, so I can do it alone." Zoila finished her words quickly, "You guys better be careful, I don't want to see you at a funeral next time."
When she is nervous, she talks more unconsciously.
Pomer looked at her and smiled, "Thank you, Ira."
"Proceed with caution."
Zoila clenched her fists and nodded, "I can do it, believe me!"
The girl said goodbye to the two men and started running back.
It takes time for her to create the barrier, so she is well aware that her strength is not suitable for actual combat.
The long and narrow corridor in the basement could easily make people feel uneasy. She didn't feel it was so long when she came in.
There seemed to be some movement at the end, so Zoila pushed open a door and hid inside.
After closing the door, Zoila looked at the room she was in. It seemed to be a warehouse with single-sided glass and some cardboard boxes stored inside.
The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer. Zoila held her breath and prepared to release the barrier to protect herself.
If a door is kicked in or opened, she springs into action.
Unfortunately, the footsteps stopped outside the door.
Zoila carefully looked outside through the one-way glass and found that it was indeed the group of Lightless People, but they lowered their heads, as if waiting to greet someone.
It’s over, I feel like the real big boss is coming!!!
Zoila probably regretted more things tonight than she had ever regretted in all of her life.
Soon, as she expected, the 'big boss' appeared.
Two men, one tall and one short, walked past. They were not wearing face masks, but masks made of other materials.
The tall man covered the upper half of his face, while the shorter man covered the lower half.
There is also an 'X' on the mask, the symbol of the Lightless.
Seeing that the two were finally leaving, Zoela slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the shorter man suddenly turned his head and looked at her, as if he saw through everything through the one-way glass.
Zoela's heart was about to jump out. The moment she released her barrier, the glass shattered due to the attack of the tall man.
He reached out to grab her.
The simpler the rules of the barrier, the more people can be controlled, and the stronger the people affected can be.
Zoila had set it up so that no one could touch her.
So Zoila successfully "slipped" away from the man's hand, jumped out of the window, and started running wildly.
This time she is really dancing with the God of Death, but she is really not ready to throw herself into the arms of the God of Light!
"Haha, Snakes, you can't catch a little girl?"
"Shut up, it's her special ability, I can't touch her."
At that moment, there was an obvious external force pushing his hand away, causing him to fail to grab Zoila accurately.
Because there were no orders from them, the other Lightless Ones still lowered their heads and waited.
The short man sneered, "It means you've become weaker, Snakes."
"Well, go and kill her, Frankie."
Snakes turned and walked deeper, calling away the other Lightless Ones.
Frankie moved a little, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but his limbs seemed to have grown longer.
But his body did not change, which made him look extremely strange.
"I love the game of chase, little sparrow—"
Zoila ran out of the underground passage of the church and saw the moonlight reflected in through the transparent stained windows of the church.
This is hope, this is hope! She must go find Teacher Qianche as soon as possible!
But the next second, she found herself shrouded in an unknown shadow, and her palm seemed to be nailed on a thin rubber tube and was coming towards her.
Zoila screamed and rolled to the side subconsciously to avoid the attack.
"Why don't you run away, little sparrow? Go on--" Frankie licked his lips with a smile.
Zoila's screams became quieter. "Help! I've only seen perverts like you on TV. Can you please stop being so disgusting and licking your lips? I'm really going to vomit!!! Calling you a little sparrow is like being an antique from the last century! It's so disgusting! It's so disgusting! I'd rather go to Zisha than be called that, yueyueyue!"
She ran and cursed, fearing that her foul-mouthed potential would be aroused.
Frankie's expression was very bad. He preferred the victims of fear rather than those who were "outspoken" like Zoila.
"I'll tear you to pieces, you little bastard!"
