Chapter 1389: The Sacrifice City (This cat is rolling around holding its tail)

"Ugh..."

When the girl opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the ground.

  In the end what happened?

The girl opened her eyes and recalled carefully. She only remembered that she was resting at home, and then an earthquake suddenly occurred. Before the girl could escape, she was knocked to the ground, hit her head and passed out.

But fortunately, she was lucky.

The girl walked out of the door and looked around. The whole world was dark. She raised her head and looked at the sky, and then she froze there.

"Oh my god, what is that!?"

The girl looked up at the sky in shock, and saw a mysterious, ancient, indescribable and strange city hanging upside down above her head. It appeared from the clouds as if it was about to fall from the sky, and seeing this unimaginable and terrible scene, the girl felt an indescribable fear.

"What on earth happened here?"

The girl barely came to her senses and tried to call her family, but the call was completely unreachable. She stumbled out of the house and looked around. Everywhere she looked, all the houses were either collapsed or in a state of damage. There was no one on the street, and this weird atmosphere made her feel terrified instinctively.

  I must leave here as soon as possible! Where to go? School? Shelter? Or hospital?

Although the girl's mind was in a mess, her body instinctively began to run. Even though she didn't know where to go, her instinct told her that she had to escape from here, escape from it all!

“Haaaah…Haaaah…”

The girl ran forward desperately, and finally, she saw several figures appearing on one side of the street. So the girl ran over without hesitation.

"Sorry to bother you!"

The girl asked loudly as she ran over. Hearing the girl's call, the group of people turned around and looked at the girl.

"Alas-----!"

After seeing the faces of those people, the girl was so scared that she screamed.

  No wonder she was so frightened, because those people’s faces were not human faces at all!

Tentacles emerged from their mouths, ears, and eyes, twisting constantly. Behind these people, the girl also saw several women tied up tightly by tentacles. They were in tattered clothes, with dull eyes, and were being abused like puppets!

"ah-------!!"

Seeing this, the girl turned around and ran away in fear, but at this moment, a tentacle suddenly stretched out, wrapped around the girl's legs, and pulled her over. The girl turned her head in horror and saw those twisted, inhuman monsters walking towards her. At the same time, tentacles emerged from their mouths and lower bodies, and pounced on the girl like an octopus.

“Help, help, help… wuwu…”

The girl's cries for help were completely blocked by the tentacles. She stared with horror and tried desperately to struggle. But the tentacles had already climbed onto her body. All the girl could do was watch in despair as those strange and bizarre figures slowly approached her and completely devoured her.

For the people of this city, the nightmare has just begun.

Standing on the rooftop of a high-rise building, the masked man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene below with a smug look on his face.

"It's really wonderful. Nothing is more interesting than the struggle of mankind before destruction. Don't you think so, Mr. Mayor?"

As the masked man spoke, he turned his head and looked behind him. Not far behind him, a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair and tied up. The man was staring at the masked man angrily, gritting his teeth.

"What on earth do you want to do? You bastard!"

"You just don't understand, Mr. Mayor."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, the masked man chuckled.

"You cooperated with us to try to consolidate your rule over this city. It was a foolish and petty ambition. But even you have the qualifications to be the leading actor in this drama, don't you think? Queen Cassilda?"

"You lunatic! Don't forget that if I hadn't allowed you to spread in this city, you wouldn't have been able to reach this point today! But you've gone too far! You were also the one who attacked the Jiumen family, right? What exactly do you want to do?"

Facing the mayor's roar, the masked man bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, this is absurd. I was not the one who plotted this, so why would I want to overthrow your dynasty? The end is near, and soon the King in Yellow will come to establish his eternal and fair rule."

“……………………What the hell are you talking about? Damn it, answer me! What the hell are you lunatics planning to do to March City!?”

Seeing the masked man's affected appearance and listening to the strange and incoherent lines he was reading, the mayor became more and more angry. However, the masked man didn't care and just continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, I only repeated the teachings of the Order. It has been there since the days of your father, your grandmother, and even the Prince of Kings. I only reminded you that your dynasty rules by the will of our God. Harry prophesied that our God would one day come as the King in Yellow and rule personally. That time is imminent, and I need not overthrow anyone."

"Crazy, crazy, crazy!"

The mayor glared at the masked man angrily.

"You are all crazy! What gods rule over mankind? What era is this? How dare you still believe in such talk? You can try! March City is just a small town. Even if you control it, you can't change anything. You will be attacked and suppressed soon. Your tricks of pretending to be gods are no match for guns and cannons!"

"You've fallen into your mistaken idea that only rationality is real. This world isn't actually that reasonable." The masked man looked at the mayor and smiled.

"Look, you've been gone for so long, but has it had any impact on this city? No, not at all. Your enemies think you chose to escape, but your friends... like me, know that you will be here, devoting everything you have to a great cause. Your persistence and stubbornness will become the brightest light in this drama, highlighting how foolish and unattainable human beings are!"

The masked man said this and raised his hands high.

"Look, the Yellow Seal is right here! Anyone who sees it will be blessed with great joy!"

"Boom!!"

At this moment, the tightly closed door on the rooftop was kicked open, and the Food Detective and the Idol Detective rushed in breathlessly. They clenched their weapons and looked at the masked man in front of them. The latter shook his head and turned to look at the two.

"Ah, you are finally here. You are so slow. I have been waiting for you because you will finally make a choice."

As he spoke, the masked man pointed at the mayor who was tied to a chair.

"There are two enemies in front of you now. He was blinded by greed and wanted to completely rule this city. For this reason, he sold his soul to our Lord, but now he regrets it. And I... am God's spokesperson. I came here and brought God's will here. Now, make a choice! Me, or him?"

"Stop this weird ritual immediately! End it all!"

The gourmet detective raised his gun angrily and aimed at the masked man.

"You have no right to do this!"

"Yes, of course we can, it's a prophecy! It predicted everything!"

The masked man shouted and raised his hand again. Then everyone saw that he was holding a tattered robe in his hand, dancing with the howling wind.

However, in the eyes of the gourmet detective, he could see the shining yellow mark on the robe, which gave him a headache.

“Woooo ...

"what happened to you?"

Seeing her companion in pain, the idol detective was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the food detective suddenly raise his gun and aim at the masked man. The latter stared at the food detective. Although the mask had no facial features, the idol detective seemed to see through it and saw the weird smile hidden under the white mask!

"don't want……………!"

"boom!!"

The idol detective rushed forward, and at the same time, the gourmet detective had already pulled the trigger. As the gunshot rang out, the masked man fell backwards, his hands still raised high, grabbing the tattered coat. A scream with laughter rang out, echoing on the dark rooftop.

"You slaughtered the truth, and the old lie won out! Everyone can realize their desires in my court, but in the end it will all be meaningless!"

"clang!!!"

The gong sounded.

The food detective came back to his senses and saw the idol detective looking at him with a pale face. At the same time, a purple light descended from the sky and shone on the rooftop. The ground around him began to tremble, and yellow marks appeared one after another. Then, the light changed to yellow again.

Then, a being appeared.

It was about three meters tall, wearing a ragged flowing robe and hood, its face hidden behind a billowing yellow silk veil. Its hands were covered with yellow hoods. And underneath the yellow robe, countless tentacles could be seen flowing out like a skirt, flapping with its movements.

“……………It’s finally here.”

Standing in the hall filled with blood and corpses, Duanmu Huai raised his head. Just now, the three of them rushed into the city hall. In order to stop those monsters, Duanmu Huai chose to stay here to attract the attention of those monsters, allowing the food detective and the idol detective to continue moving forward. But this was just Duanmu Huai's trick. The reason why he did not go with the two was to avoid being discovered by the King in Yellow. After all, he was also an Old One, and the King in Yellow might not come if he found out he was here.

If that were the case, then the whole play would have been in vain.

But now... now that it's here, it's much simpler.

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and as he moved, shadows began to surge around him.

"Liberate it."
