Chapter 13 Escape
Loris seemed to think that this was the base camp of a demigod lich.

So she wanted to escape from here urgently.

However, Xiao En didn't think so. He felt that Loris's judgment might not be correct, and the butcher must be telling the truth.

Loris's anxiety became more and more obvious. She said in a serious tone, "We must escape."

"The sooner the better!"

fear.

When she confirmed that there was a demigod lich here, Loris felt obviously frightened.

Xiao En whispered, "How to escape?"

"Escape to where?"

After Loris pondered for a moment, she said in a concentrated voice: "Escape from the high wall first. Once we escape, I can set up a ritual to summon the angel of my Lord's Kingdom."

"Then open a portal to another dimension and find a way to return to the normal world."

The other party's identity seems to be complicated.

In Loris's eyes, this place is not the mortal world at all, but a certain level of the underworld.

Xiao En wondered, "Why not set up the ceremony here?"

It's very dangerous outside the high wall.

On this point, Xiao En still believed what the butcher said.

Otherwise, there would be no need to build such a majestic wall just to imprison these souls from other worlds. There is no need to build such a wonder.

There was a bit of weirdness in Loris's expression when she looked at Xiao En, but it disappeared quickly. She explained, "A space anchor has been set up here."

"Any teleportation spells won't work, and it's easy to alert them."

Xiao En's words just now seemed to reveal something, but Loris hid it very well.

Loris knows a lot of things that Sean doesn't know.

She was resurrected earlier than Sean, and may be even stronger than him.

Xiao En thought for a moment and said, "What are your plans?"

Now Sean faces a choice, that is, to believe the butcher or to believe Loris.

In fact, he didn't quite believe either of them.

He wanted to see what was outside the walls.

In Sean's vision, whether it was the butcher, Ms. Hecate, or the corpse wizard he met that day, none of them looked like monsters. In comparison, Loris in front of him looked a little more normal, except that there was a black halo surrounding her body.

No one can be fully trusted.

But Sean wanted to know the truth.

He had to take a gamble.

If what Loris said was true, then his fate might have been clearly arranged long ago.

He didn't believe that someone would be so nice to him for no reason.

Especially in this crazy world.

This is already a very scary thing.

In comparison, Loris who wants to escape and Loris who longs to return to the normal world is the most real.

"It's not difficult." Loris seemed confident and said slowly, "I know there is a secret passage somewhere. We can find a way to escape."

"But I need a helper."

Secret passage?

Xiao En quietly placed his hand in his trouser pocket. After touching the cold barrel of the gun, his expression calmed down a lot. He said in a deep voice, "When will we act?"

Loris said urgently: "Tomorrow, early morning."

"We all need to clean up the soul worms, and this is the best chance."

outside the room.

Sean saw the busy butcher, he was still chopping the meat seriously, those huge pillars of flesh and blood, it seemed like he could never finish chopping them.

It is interesting that the butcher and Lady Hecate were both away today during the day.

But Xiao En still needs to make a choice.

Because Loris was the only relatively normal person he had seen so far.

If Loris could really escape, then it would mean that everything here was a deception and a lie, and it would be even more dangerous for Sean to stay here.

"Eat." The butcher put down the work at hand.

Today's dinner is beef stew with potatoes, served with dry bread and a vegetable salad on the side. The butcher is still a completely vegetarian dish as always.

As night fell, Xiao En lay in bed, thinking for a long time, until he fell asleep slowly in the dead of night.

The next morning, Xiao En arrived at the agreed place.

There are indeed very few living people here, and the dead are all very quiet. The magnificent buildings here look like mausoleums of the dead from a distance.

Loris seemed a little anxious and said in a deep voice: "Follow me."

"We have to escape before daybreak."

Xiao En turned his head to look in the direction of the monastery, moved a little confused, paused for a moment, and then caught up with Loris.

The high wall is just ahead.

After being promoted to a superhuman, Sean has noticed that his physical fitness is gradually improving, but he doesn't know whether he will eventually become a monster like the butcher.

This is also why he took a gamble.

After approaching the high wall, this magnificent spectacle appeared before his eyes. The towering wall seemed like an endless mountain. He was so small in front of this spectacle. Xiao En saw some strange human-shaped outlines at the bottom of the high wall from a distance. He was not sure if they were alive because they had been standing there motionless for a long time.

Loris took a look and said softly, "Undead Puppet."

"The creations of those undead wizards. They have been using the corpses of mortals to create these horrific flesh golems."

"Have you ever been to the morgue?"

"It's full of mummies and skeleton guards, all made from the corpses of mortals!"

Xiao En's eyes narrowed slightly. Not only had he been to the morgue, he was also almost made into a mummy.

Loris was right about one thing, this place is indeed full of dead people and monsters.

"Be careful." Loris whispered, "Don't alarm them. They are difficult to deal with."

As the distance got closer, Xiao En could also see the flesh puppets clearly. They were about three and a half meters tall. He could smell the smell of preservatives from a distance, exactly the same as in the morgue. Their faces were horrible and hideous, a bit like abomination, but not so disgusting. The stitched skin was well wrapped, and seemed to be made up of different corpses. Some of them showed signs of decay, and they exuded a dangerous aura. Most of them were in a dormant state, but some flesh puppets were patrolling.

Everything he saw here made Xiao En more determined to take a gamble.

There are obviously no living people here, but why are there so many corpses in the morgue, and those mummies? Sean almost became a mummy.

"Let's go." Loris urged.

After finding a way to bypass those flesh and blood puppets, Xiao En finally understood why Loris was so anxious to take action now.

Because he saw a damaged area, as if a very brutal battle had once broken out there.

The ground was full of potholes, with dents everywhere left by huge impacts.

Under the high wall, there were tunnels with a diameter of about five meters. Although they could not shake the solid wall, the ground was riddled with holes. These tunnels stained with foul-smelling mucus reminded Xiao En of the pillars of flesh and blood cut by the butcher.

Sean put his hand on the gun handle and stared at Loris in front of him.

He doesn't trust anyone now.

Loris took out a faintly glowing fluorite that could provide illumination. She turned to look at Xiao En and said, "We only have five minutes at most to escape."

"There are still many monsters in the tunnel."

“We’ll work together to solve this.”

Xiao En nodded silently.

Loris took out a bag with a few stone-like things in it. She said seriously, "If you throw them out at the critical moment, they will explode."

"Walk."

In a dark tunnel, Loris walked in front very quickly, followed closely by Sean. He smelled a disgusting stench, and there was something like slime in the tunnel, black in color, spreading like moss.

This tunnel was probably hundreds of meters long. Loris's movements could be heard from the front, as well as some strange noises, as if something was crawling on the ground.

Sean saw the monster.

They were masses of wriggling flesh and blood mucus, mixed together a bit like meat jelly, dark red in color, like blood. There were quite a few of them, and after hearing the noise, they rushed over madly, almost blocking the passage ahead.

boom!
Fire appeared in front of Loris and the sound of an explosion was heard.

"Go. Get out!"

Loris grabbed Sean and dragged him into another passage before the monsters surrounded them. The tunnels here were interconnected, as if they had been opened up by some weird thing.

Xiao En didn't know how long he had been running.

The two were nearly surrounded by the bloody jellies several times, but it was Loris who took action at the critical moment and fought their way out.

"Even without me, she still had a chance to escape."

Xiao En has used up three of his explosive stones. This thing is a bit like a grenade. It is very powerful and flames rise after the explosion.

at last.

The two men escaped from the underground tunnel in a somewhat embarrassed manner. The only disadvantage of those bloody jellies was that they moved slowly. Unless they were surrounded, it would be difficult to catch up with their speed. At this moment, they were all covered in blood and filth, and looked like they had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies.
