Screams of despair sounded.
People covered their mouths in fear … and even covered their eyes.
In the sky above the Holy Maiden Ceremony, there were only a few floating crosses, but now, there were nearly 10 of them. On each of the crosses, there was a young girl who had died horribly.
Those were the candidates for the Holy Maiden Ceremony.
Every Holy Maiden candidate was once the hope of many people.
Watching their hopes shatter before their very eyes was like torture. Even if they didn't support those girls who were crucified, it was still an extremely infuriating thing to watch these young girls die tragically.
"Stop! Stop this ceremony! Stop! "
"I told you to stop!!"
The angry people in the Freedom City started to charge at the Holy Maiden Ceremony. The guards outside the Holy Maiden Ceremony gave up on stopping them and hid in a corner.
However, when the people charged into the Holy Maiden Ceremony, they were scared away by the black sludge that covered the entire place.
The bubbling, slow-moving sludge was like black lava, emitting a strong and ominous aura, making people feel intimidated and unable to move forward.
"Holy Maiden … Do you really want us to watch them die one by one? How cruel is this?! "
"If … If this is a preparation for the revival of the Holy Maiden Ceremony, then this revival day … this revival day … this revival day …!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Heresy!! "
The negative emotions that had been suppressed due to the appearance of the [Holy Fall] now seemed to be on the verge of uncontrollable.
In the Freedom City, the sky was gloomy, and the bustling scene was no longer there.
"This city is getting worse and worse."
The car slowly drove on the road, and people rioting due to anger and fear could be seen everywhere … Levar's expression became more and more serious, but [Robert], who was in the passenger seat, didn't seem to see it.
At least, [Robert] looked so calm.
[Robert] calmly said, "You think it's bad because you haven't seen anything worse."
Levar couldn't help but ask, "What is worse?"
[Robert] slowly said, "In some places where there is a lack of faith, the flames of war are endless, and corpses can cover the rivers. In order to survive, people will even eat their own offspring … Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and even hope seem to have given up on them."
"There is no such place in the seven capitals." Leval shook his head and said with certainty.
Robert didn't argue. Instead, he suddenly said, "Let's get out of the car and leave. Unless you're willing to knock down the crowd on the road, we won't be able to reach our destination even if it's dark."
Leval had no choice but to stop the car on the road. He squeezed into the crowd with Robert and moved forward with difficulty while looking at the screen of his phone.
The options that suddenly appeared on the special broadcast channel of the Holy Maiden Ceremony didn't only include options for the Holy Maiden candidates, but also other options — — those who were also present at the ceremony.
Among them, there was the option of Ludic's headmaster.
They knew what had happened … Everything that had happened to the people who had disappeared from the venue.
"Is there any way to contact them?" Leval suddenly asked. He felt that [Robert] might be able to give him an answer.
[Robert] replied, but it sounded very perfunctory. "Only faith can reach it."
Faith?
Wasn't the faith of the entire Free City not enough?
How desperately they wanted to end this nightmare!
…
…
In the Crayon Kingdom, [Yu Liya] decided to call this place the Crayon Kingdom.
At this moment, [Yu Liya] was looking for the Carrot Sword Hero with Sharman and the Matchstick Doll who could deal with the Rabbit Demon King. They were cursed by the Rabbit Demon King, and carrots started to grow on their bodies.
As a stickman, Sharman looked fine, but Senior Sister [Yulia] felt that something was wrong. This was because the carrots brought about by the curse were always growing in some strange places on her body.
They witnessed the villagers sacrificing Duo Er, who had pulled out the Carrot Sword Hero, to the Rabbit Demon King. The Rabbit Demon King glared at them, and they were cursed by the Rabbit Demon King.
Later, Senior Sister [Yulia] directly kidnapped a Matchstick Man villager and brought him back. After a series of strange interrogation, she obtained the method to remove the curse. Moreover, she took a strange seed from the villager's house.
This was the key to finding the Carrot Sword Hero.
It was because the Carrot Sword Hero was [Planted].
However, before the Carrot Sword Hero could be [Planted], they had to find the fairy on the godly mountain. Only the fairy gave them the [Orange Juice] that could make the seed sprout.
Fortunately, traveling in the Crayon Kingdom seemed to be easy. After the background of the crayon painting changed, they arrived at the foot of the godly mountain.
"It's really capricious …" [Yu Liya] couldn't help but complain, "It feels like the work of a naughty child."
"Senior Yu Liya, look! What is that?!" At this moment, the Matchstick Doll Sharman exclaimed, "The mountain … the mountain is moving!"
[Yu Liya] froze for a moment, and her expression changed slightly. Then, she picked up the Matchstick Doll Sharman and ran as fast as her life depended on it.
It wasn't a mountain!
It was a giant the size of a mountain!
It had a lot of moss on its body … It seemed to be a giant wearing huge armor.
"If you want to go up the godly mountain, you have to pass four tests! I'm the guardian of the first test, Mister Katz! "
At the same time, a deafening roar sounded.
[Yu Liya], who was running as fast as she could while carrying the Matchstick Doll Sharman, blinked and stopped. "What test?"
At this moment, the armored giant stopped — or rather, it squatted down.
Even so, the giant's body was still incomparably large — when Senior Yulia stood there, she was the size of an ant.
"Answer one of my questions. If your answer is correct, you can go to the second test."
"You … Why don't you ask first?" Senior Sister [Yulia] said tentatively.
The giant asked, "Who is the fairy's favorite person?"
“？？” Senior Sister [Yulia] blinked her eyes and subconsciously said, "I know who your fairy is. Who is she?"
"If you can't answer, you'll be punished."
After saying that, the giant used its fingers to pick up [Yu Liya]. [Yu Liya] struggled a few times, but she couldn't break free.
"How is this possible? Atomization shouldn't be immune to physical attacks …" But seeing the giant's fingers start to exert force, squeezing her body so hard that it felt like it was going to explode, [Yu Liya] didn't have time to think too much. She could only brace herself and say, "Wait, I want to answer! I want to answer! "
"Speak! What's the answer! "
[Yu Liya] didn't know who the fairy's favorite person was … In this Crayon Kingdom, she had collected too little information.
But according to common logic, perhaps the fairy would like the Carrot Hero — after all, this was basically the case.
"Carrot … Hero?" At this moment, the stickman Sharman screamed, "Is the answer the Carrot Hero?!"
"Wrong answer! Punishment! "
With a buzzing sound, the giant's fingers exerted force, and the stickman Sharman was instantly crushed into a stick … dead, dead!
F * ck, Sharman, you died so miserably!
Senior Apprentice Sister [Yulia] couldn't help but feel her scalp go numb. Although the way the Sharman Matchstick Man died was the same as the previous Duoer Matchstick Man, which was a child's play, Senior Apprentice Sister [Yulia] really felt that the Crayon Kingdom was terrifying.
"What's your answer?" The giant looked at [Yu Liya] again.
[Yu Liya] subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and her scalp went numb … She felt that the giant's patience was running out, and she wanted to give an answer no matter what.
"Punishment!"
"Wait! I'll answer! " [Yu Liya] screamed, "But … but my answer has to be drawn!"
"Okay." The giant nodded in surprise. "Hurry up and draw!"
[Yu Liya] was immediately released, but she was still in the giant's hands … the danger was still there.
How could she know what to draw? She said she would draw it just to buy herself some time.
"Hurry up and draw!"
A crayon and a sketchbook immediately fell in front of [Yulia]. She shivered and helplessly picked up the tools. Then, she sat on the palm of the hand that had fallen to the ground.
After a long time, the crayon drew a short curve on the sketchbook.
She tentatively raised her head to look at the giant's reaction, but she saw that the giant didn't react at all. However, his hands began to shrink, and in an instant, he half-clenched his fists.
[Yu Liya] didn't dare to waste any more time, and she frantically drew on the sketchbook.
"I'm done drawing! This is the answer! "
After a while, [Yu Liya] raised the sketchbook, thinking that she was going to die anyway, so she wanted to die quickly. However, she didn't expect that she would have such a bad start. This was clearly the first stage of her career.
"The answer is correct. You can go to the second stage."
"Come on, hurry up … what did you say?"
However, the giant slowly put [Yulia] down, and then gradually walked away … Not long after, it sat down, and then became a mountain peak, not moving at all.
[Yu Liya] looked at the scene in front of her, not knowing what to do. Subconsciously, she glanced at her masterpiece and said in disbelief, "This … works?!"
On the sketchbook, she drew a smiling face with a crayon — it was Boss Luo's face.
As for the style of the drawing, it wasn't as crude as the one in the Crayon Kingdom.
After all, [Yu Liya] was a multi-talented female demon from the academy.
"I just wanted to give it a try, thinking that the shop owner's [Indescribable Existence] might be able to change and interfere with some of the truth, but I didn't expect that … I just casually drew the shop owner's appearance." Senior Sister [Yulia] shivered. "You … you can show your divinity with this?"
Instantly, [Yu Liya] respectfully placed the sketchbook on a rock. Then, she knelt down and put her palms together.
Then, she took out two carrots from her body and placed them on the ground as if they were offerings.
"Namo Namo Namo …"
After the offerings, [Yu Liya] carried the [Hero Seed] and continued to climb the mountain uneasily.
…
…
…

– Beside the bus stop –
Boss Luo walked slowly among the pedestrians with a shopping bag in his hand. At this moment, he was on the phone with the man who called himself his homeroom teacher.
"I'm standing under the pillar of the big bell. You can easily see me, Mr. Luo."
"Indeed, it's easy to see you." Boss Luo froze for a second and then said, "I think I see you."
Under the pillar of the big bell, Boss Luo saw a guy with a Qingtian doll head, wearing a suit and a tie, and carrying a briefcase – probably a male?
Boss Luo looked around with some doubts and found that the pedestrians … were still pedestrians, they looked like normal people.
He walked towards the weird-looking guy and took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, are you Luoya's homeroom teacher?"
"Yes, I am. I'm Mr. Qingtian. "The homeroom teacher nodded," Luoya's brother, nice to meet you. "
"Me too … Nice to meet you, Mr. Qingtian." Boss Luo smiled, "So, shall we talk here?"
"Before we talk, I hope you can take a look at this document." Mr. Qingtian took out an envelope from his briefcase.
Boss Luo opened it and glanced at it. He was confused, "This is Luoya's withdrawal application?"
Mr. Qingtian said, "It seems that Mr. Luo really doesn't know about this."
Boss Luo shook his head.
Mr. Qingtian said, "These days, Luoya didn't come to school. Although Luoya often asked for leave to rest at home because of her health condition, until today, I received this letter … I think, I need to find Luoya's family. Mr. Luo, I don't know what you think about this matter. "
Boss Luo thought, "I don't know what the homeroom teacher thinks about the withdrawal … After all, I don't know much about my sister's situation in school."
"Luoya rarely communicates with others in school, she seems to be very solitary." Mr. Fairsky said, "Even though bullying hasn't happened before, it's true that not many students are willing to interact with her … Besides, she doesn't come to school often anyway. This semester, her attendance rate didn't even reach the standard, she may face the punishment of repeating a year. "
"I see." Boss Luo suddenly nodded and put the withdrawal letter into the shopping bag, "About this matter, I'll go back and find out more about it."
"This …" Mr. Qingtian probably didn't expect the student's guardian to be so straightforward. He seemed a little stunned, "Mr. Luo, I think this matter is very serious, I hope you can take it seriously! If you keep this indifferent attitude, it will be a terrible thing for Luoya. "
"Mr. Qingtian, right?" Boss Luo looked at him expressionlessly, "You think I won't take my sister's matter seriously?"
The homeroom teacher seemed to shudder, "No … no, I didn't mean that."
Boss Luo said, "Thank you for telling me this today, Mr. Qingtian … Then, goodbye."
"Okay … okay."
