Chapter 10 Three Strange Phenomena in a Strange Night
Watching the crowd riot, the Li family masters kneeling on the ground trembled and looked ashen.
As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, all his family members will rise to heaven. Now, Li Cheng can be said to have implicated their entire family. These people recalled that they had previously helped the tyrant and helped Li Hua fight against the awakened Night Watch. Everything seemed so absurd and ridiculous.
"The Li family is doomed. Everyone will be questioned and nailed to the pillar of shame." The leader was not surprised by this scene. Since he just said the strength shown by Lang Ren, it was equivalent to sentencing Li Cheng. The support shown by everyone also made him respect and fear Lang Ren more.
Soon, he was out, step by step approaching Li Cheng, who had offended the Night Watch and wanted to seize the position of leader.
He shouted loudly, his face full of majesty and heartache, and every word was heartbreaking.
"Everyone, we didn't protect the family of the honorable night watchman. As the leader, I feel deeply guilty. Now, some evil people are disrespectful to the night watchman, speaking rudely, and want to kill our guardian. Do we agree?"
"No!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"What should we do with those criminals who want to kill our guardian?" The leader's eyes were like pillars, and his words were fluent.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!" The crowd was excited and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
"Before the night watchman woke up, he worked hard and silently guarded us for more than ten years at night. As the leader, I failed to take good care of his family. I am guilty. I will personally apologize afterwards."
The leader looked at Langren with guilt, then turned around and continued, his tone became more and more excited.
"But... at this moment, the Lord of the Night Watch has finally awakened. I saw that day, and I saw that the Night Watch will protect our descendants in the future, and can win large tracts of land for us, and hunt a large number of evolutionary fetuses for us, so that our descendants will no longer be afraid, no longer hungry, and women and children can all awaken and live in peace and joy."
At this moment, his eyes were very sincere, and there was a light of hope in his eyes, as if he had really seen that day.
Not only him, but also the civilians present, including Bai Luo, had a light in their eyes, clenched their fists tightly, and everyone was full of excitement.
They have lived a hard life for too long, and they are looking forward to such a life too much.
The bronze priests are just dead things and cannot move. Maybe many years later, they can only live such a life, but the value brought by an awakened Night Watch far exceeds that of the priests. It is an existence that can bring them hope!
What can be more exciting than seeing the dawn in the darkness?
At this moment, Lang Ren, who was in the spotlight of the crowd, had a bitter and headache face. He couldn't help but admire the other party's imagination when he saw the leader talking endlessly.
He was just a night watchman who hadn't even condensed his life pattern, but he was touted as a savior.
"Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven! We can't let the night watchman feel disappointed!" The leader changed the subject and looked at Li Cheng, every word was precious.
"Enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"
"Enforce justice on behalf of heaven!" At this moment, the old men, young men, and women all had red eyes, raised their fists and waved them, with terrible momentum.
"No, I didn't, I didn't!" Li Cheng was surrounded by the crowd and had no way to retreat. He wanted to refute, but his voice was drowned out. He wanted to resist, but he was powerless to resist.
Perhaps he never thought that as a high-ranking person in the transformation period, he would one day fall into such a situation.
There was almost no suspense. The leader took action. With the concerted efforts of the masters and the clan leaders, Li Cheng struggled for a moment, and then his face was pressed to the ground and tied tightly.
"I was wrong. Please spare my life, Lord Night Watchman. I was wrong, wrong..." Li Cheng's face was covered with dirt, and his eyes were full of fear.
Seeing Li Cheng tied up, Lang Ren did not show any happy expression at this moment. He came to the leader, looked at Bai Luo who was full of admiration and joy, frowned and asked: "Can my sister's injury be cured?"
At the same time.
In a shelter town located a million miles away, there was a bustling shouting sound, full of fireworks.
And those morning lights that dyed the world with a layer of gilded gold, inexplicably turned pale, the soft temperature began to retreat, and a touch of cold breath began to gradually permeate the fields.
It was clearly early in the morning when the sun was rising, but it was abnormally cold.
It seemed to indicate that something terrible was about to come.
At this moment, everyone in the important town gradually stopped what they were doing and raised their heads at the same time. Everyone felt something.
"Dangdangdang!"
Suddenly, there was a dense sound of gongs on the city wall, and anxious voices echoed into thousands of households.
"The priest has ordered that the polar night, which is rare in a century, is coming. It will be dark for the next few months. The three strange phenomena of the strange night have all appeared in advance. Everyone should return to the house quickly! If you delay, something will happen!"
"What? The polar night is coming? Isn't that a legendary thing? I haven't stored my food well. How can I survive the long polar night!"
"The three strange phenomena have all come, my God..."
For a while, the whole town was in chaos. A large number of civilians had no time to react. They rushed to the house like fleeing, with fear on their faces. Every household closed the door tightly. Soon, it was difficult to see a single figure in the originally bustling important town.
"Woo!"
Soon after, at the end of the sky, a creepy howl echoed across the heaven and earth, and a huge black wave that stretched across the sky and earth surged over like a tidal wave.
The sea seemed like an endless sea.
The wall seemed like a wall that stretched across the sky and earth.
The surging night suddenly appeared in sight, coming from all directions, with a surging posture, as if to submerge and cover all tangible objects, and rushing in quickly to cover the sky and the earth.
Whether it was the mountains, rivers, seas, or the four poles of the sky, they were all swallowed and flattened by the night in an instant.
Like a tsunami, like a high wall, and on the surface of the night, it seemed that dense and huge tentacles stretched out, baring their teeth and claws.
The thick and inky night blocked all light, and it was pitch black, like a huge black hole that swallowed people. Once you fall into it, you can't see or get out.
Not only that, the blue sky above also appeared a heart-pounding darkness, as if it was splashed with ink, and quickly spread out, and the whole world darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A great terror is coming at an unstoppable speed...!
In the blink of an eye, the black huge wave that was originally far away in the sky, at a terrifying speed, instantly submerged the important town.
The sky, dark.
The strange night has come!
…
"Please rest assured, night watchman, I will let the best doctor in the town treat her, and I will take your mother over right away. Unfortunately, the priest ordered me not to interfere too much in the affairs of the town and your family. It is really my fault that your family suffered in that place. Please punish me!" In front of the mansion, the leader looked sad and regretful, and knelt down in front of everyone.
"Priest..." Langren looked at the leader, his eyes flickered slightly.
Now that the situation has been formed, he can't ask in detail about saving the leader's life. It doesn't matter whether he exposes his true strength or not. After all, everyone knows that he has awakened.
The leader has always been unfamiliar with him, and the priest ordered him not to take action. Now he feels a little surprised to make up for it.
However, he has devoted so many years to the town, and his relatives have suffered so much, which really makes him feel disappointed.
He will settle this account slowly.
"Let's go, sister, go back to see mom." Lang Ren glanced at Li Cheng, then stepped forward to support Bai Luo, whose eyes were sparkling like little stars, and carried her on his back, walking towards the direction of the ruined temple.
"Thank you, brother." Bai Luo's face gently pressed against her brother's thick back, feeling unprecedented peace of mind, shedding tears of happiness while whispering softly.
"Silly, since brother has come back, brother will never let you get hurt in the future, never."
Yes, never.
Lang Ren's eyes were full of determination.
The ruined temple in the back mountain is very remote.
It's not far, nor is it close. There was such a big commotion here, most people gathered here, but no one went to tell his mother that he was back.
As Lang Ren left, a large number of civilians in the back followed him, and there was a trend of gathering more and more.
Ten minutes later, Lang Ren carried his sister on his back and came to the back mountain and saw the ruined temple in front.
Looking at the shabby little temple, feeling the light and terrifying sister on his back, his heart was in a circle, and his eyes were a little red.
These years, his mother and sister have suffered too much.
As a son and brother, he is unfilial.
When he arrived in front of the temple, Langren put down his sister on his back and pushed open the shabby temple door.
"Mom! Mom! Brother is back, come out quickly!"
In the dim environment, Bai Luo's joyful voice came. Langren walked forward slowly, looking at the dust floating in the dim light, looking at the shabby hole in the roof and the wooden basin on the ground to collect rainwater, his face became paler and paler.
There is no deity or Buddha in this temple. It has been abandoned for a long time. It is ventilated everywhere. At night, only a fire can be lit to keep warm. The house is bare and extremely simple.
After walking a few steps, Langren saw a woman coming out of the inner hall. Her face was wrinkled, her skin was sallow, and she was full of traces of years.
Looking at the woman's face, Langren's heart trembled.
He could not imagine that his adoptive mother had aged so much in the past two years, and even had white hair on her temples, while she was only in her forties!
Langren's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, he was silent for a while, and tremblingly shouted: "Mom!"
Looking at this person who had been thinking about day and night and suddenly came back, the adoptive mother stood there, stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly reacted, her lips trembled, her hands trembled and couldn't shake anymore, and big tears rolled down, crying.
"My poor son!"
"You are finally back! It's been two years, where have you been, mom misses you so much!"
On the side, the sister watched her mother hug Langren tightly and cry loudly, her heart was also mixed, and she kept wiping tears with the back of her hand.
"Mom, you have suffered." Langren said in a hoarse voice, extremely guilty.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." The foster mother didn't ask any more questions, nor did she blame him. She just wiped her dusty hands with her apron, touched Langren's cheek, and kept watching, as if she wanted to remember her child's face in her heart, fearing that he would run away.
"Sit down, sit down, my son must be hungry, mom will get you something to eat." The foster mother hurriedly pulled a small wooden stool, wiped it with her sleeve, and handed it over.
Langren was about to refuse, but he saw that the foster mother was happy with tears on her face. He couldn't bear to refuse, so he sat on the stool with an honest face.
In the inner room, the foster mother quickly came to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, revealing the pickles and black steamed buns inside. Looking at these foods, she showed hesitation and guilt.
As if she felt that giving these things to Langren would be unfair to her son who had been missing for two years, the foster mother pursed her lips and hurried out of the ruined temple, and then she saw a crowd of people standing outside the temple.
Almost half of the civilians and dignitaries in the town gathered here. Seeing so many people coming to her home, she was slightly stunned for a moment, full of confusion: "What are you doing? Why are you here, leader?"
