Chapter 17: After the dog caught in the rain left the harbor, several people went their separate ways...
After leaving the harbor, several people went their separate ways.
Sakeri did not go with the rebels. She had some questions that probably only the association could answer.
She helped Lin lift the president up and carried him away like a corpse.
Then after turning a corner, Lin suddenly felt a heaviness in her hand.
She put the president on the ground and ran back quickly.
It's still a step too late.
Sarkore was gone.
Lin didn't believe that she disappeared out of thin air, she could have been taken away by someone.
Is it a tower?
She was not good at divination, so she took out her crystal ball and tried to find the whereabouts of Shanju and Sakerui.
There were no results.
Lin took back the crystal ball, carried President Lu on her back with difficulty, and headed for the nearest safe house.
She had already sent out a gathering signal to all the members she could contact, and she just hoped they would arrive quickly.

"jingle--"
Li An, who was so bored that she rummaged through the drawers, discovered that she was also looking forward to the day when the doorbell would ring.
Maybe it’s because the animals that come in are all cute little animals.
Animals are much friendlier and more interesting than people, she thought.
Then Li An put down a pile of things she had taken out from the corners and walked across the corridor.
A wet little...big dog wearing a cape?
It's a very strange dog, but the pattern on the cloak is colorful and looks very beautiful.
...By the way, are all the people here the type who like to wear cloaks? This is the third one she has met.
Li An lowered her eyes. Compared with a large dog—like a Doberman—the rabbit with dizzy eyes looked particularly mini and cute.
He's a regular customer. He came for the second time so soon. This time he didn't have leaves stuck on his head, but instead had his fur dripping.
Wait, she suddenly thought of something. Could it be that she felt that the draft was not good, so she came to ask for an explanation?
She looked away.
The little rabbit patted his head and tried hard to get out of the mosquito coil.
This time it wasn't as shy as last time, probably because it wasn't the first time they met.
It said, "I have nothing to trade."
Huh? You're not here to look for that book?
Li An breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little bit regretful.
The rabbit lowered its head, its ears drooped, and said hesitantly, "I want to know how to open that book."
It said dejectedly: "I can't open it."
It turned out to be an after-sales problem. Li An thought about it and realized that he didn’t put any glue on the draft book, so why couldn’t it be opened?
…Although she still felt like laughing when a rabbit insisted on opening her draft book.
It's really childlike and fun. It would have been best if Li'an was here when she was in her early teens, and could easily get along with the little animals.
Li An compared the size of the draft book and the rabbit.
"It's too heavy for you."
At this moment, Suibian jumped back from somewhere, apparently having completed the tree root digging task and coming back to report.
The cat opened its mouth and started talking nonsense: "You need it, you want it, and it will open for you when you can open it."
Li An glanced at it and had no intention of dismantling it.
The rabbit seemed to be confused by what was said, and mosquito coils began to appear in its big round eyes again.
But it seems that I was really fooled.
Li An's gaze passed over the rabbit and fell on the big dog standing upright in the rain, who hadn't said a word or made a single move since coming in.

"What about you? What are you here for?"
Wu Lie heard Him say this.
But he was no longer sure whether his ears and brain were still working properly.
He opened his mouth and asked, "...Who are you?"
Because his throat was also engraved with secret patterns, Wu Lie avoided almost all opportunities to speak due to the pain.
Pulling the skin and flesh will cause endless pain.
It seemed as if this was the first time someone had asked Him this question, and as if the answer was very important.
The god stared at him, his eyes almost piercing through him and nailing him to the cliff in the clouds.
But He still told him the answer: "As you see."
However, whether the answer can be understood by humans is not within His consideration at all.
As he saw it...was it one of the stars? Or was it the person who played him, the so-called shop owner?
Wu Lie thought about it briefly, then stopped.
Because he quickly lost the ability to think.
Pain is a constant tide, with ups and downs and waves.
You don’t know whether the tide that will come up in the next second will be ripples or huge waves.
…
…………
Wu Lie stood there silently, waiting for the pain to go away.
Like a man lying on a board, praying that the waves won't overturn him.
Sakerui stood there, feeling that nothing he did was appropriate.
There was a sudden silence. This person was so strange. He always stopped talking in the middle of something.
The witch hunter didn't know what Sakori was thinking, and he didn't have even a little extra energy to pay attention to a sacrifice.
The raindrops clinging to the clothes did not disappear with the heavy rain, but remained in the fabric and seeped into the clothes unnoticed.
The rain was cold, but my skin felt the wrong kind of pain, like being burned.
For witch hunters, every rain is not considered rain.
It should be molten iron, the kind of boiling hot iron that is thousands of degrees hot and has been melted.
Then, at a certain moment, the molten iron disappeared, and what followed was extreme cold, so cold that it almost froze time.
After a while, who knows how long, Wu Lie slowly regained some of his scattered perceptions.
In extreme pain, the human body will forget the time it has experienced, as if this can disguise the fact that the pain does not actually exist.
Tomorrow will continue to come.
Waiting for the sun to rise and burn his soul has become his entire impression and expectation of "tomorrow".
……expect.
He must be looking forward to it, otherwise how can he face this almost endless long life.
Wu Lie blinked slightly, but the god was still looking at him, without any sign of urging or surprise.
"I want something that won't cause me pain."
Either something that would not bring any new excitement; or something that would free him from the pain; or even being killed by Him and freed from this burdensome body.
These are what the witch hunters expect.
He waved his hand, and Wu Lie walked forward uncontrollably.
He bent down and lowered his head, half-kneeling on the ground.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of bright light in the god's hand.
The thing slipped out of his palm and moved closer to his neck.
Wu Lie even got a little nervous at this moment.
He was worried that he would not die quickly enough and would have to experience the pain of being half dead.
Just experiencing it once was enough to leave a mark on his soul, making him never want to experience it again in his life.
But no, the thing gently clasped his neck.
It was clearly a new stimulus from the outside world, but it did not bring about another round of intense pain.
The rain and the blades would cause him pain, but this thing that looked like a wind chime did not.
Even experiences that you have never felt before.
Even the pain of breathing and the pain of the fabric rubbing against each other during movement were covered up.
The soul that had been rained on for more than a hundred years finally saw the light of day again at this moment.

"So what is that?"
Li An walked towards the studio, saying, "I used to use this thing when I was upset. It sounds really nice, like light music."
"Shake it and listen to its sound for a while, and my mood will calm down immediately."
Of course, there will be no pain. After all, the pain is self-inflicted. If you really want to give up, there are plenty of ways to do it.
I thought it was okay, at least the dog looked like it got what it wanted.
Halfway through the corridor, Li An suddenly thought, "Isn't this a losing business?"
“I quite like that bell.”
I actually forgot to ask what the compensation was. What a big loss.
Just stretched out casually.
"I won't lose money... I definitely won't lose money on this deal."
That dog has given you his all.
For this, he was even willing to cut off God's head.
