Just then, Chebniel noticed a detail - the roots of these creatures' hair were faintly revealing an unnatural gray color, as if they were contaminated by something from the inside.

What frightened it even more was that when these creatures moved, their shadows seemed to be half a beat slower than their bodies, as if they were forcibly attached to the ground by some force.

"I don't understand," Chebniel tried to keep his voice steady, "If you have been here all the time, why have I never seen any trace of you in the ruins? ..."

"Because you are looking for living people," the leading creature suddenly said in a completely different voice, a low and hoarse voice, completely different from the previous tone, "and we...we have transcended the limitations of life."

Chebniel felt a strong sense of crisis.

It instinctively wanted to retreat, but found that its shadow had been stretched out and was tilted towards the creatures at an impossible angle.

"Come on, Chebniel," the leading creature suddenly called out its name, although Chebniel was sure he had never told them, "Join us, your people are waiting for you."

……

Bayek.

In the center of town, in the mayor's house, Glenn and the bearded mayor sat opposite each other.

After hearing Glenn's purpose, the mayor remained silent for a long time.

Glenn naturally understood that the mayor would definitely know about the strange girl named Angelica after she entered the town. The other party's confused and thoughtful look at this time also proved what Glenn thought.

It seems that Angelica must have experienced something unknown, and it was so big that even Glenn couldn't figure it out in an instant.

Finally, the mayor seemed to have finished thinking and broke the strange silence:

"From what I've observed, the person who came back is indeed Angelica, but she shouldn't still be alive. This is what I can't understand the most."

"So my guess was correct. You let her go because she was almost dead. Didn't you care about where she went afterwards?"

Glenn nodded, then asked again.

"This is a tragedy that will not make people happy. I only watched her in the Battersea area. After she left this area, I stopped paying attention to her. By the way, the direction she went was over there, where we once fought."

The mayor said and pointed in a direction.

Glenn casually extended his senses to explore the area and soon reached the end, but did not find anything unusual.

"It seems that besides the final catastrophe, there are other mysteries waiting for me to explore."

Glenn sighed.

"Sisili is still playing outside. Should we ask her to come back?"

The mayor asked.

Glenn nodded. "Let her come back to see her sister. She cried so hard when she left."

The mayor then closed his eyes and sent a message to Sisili across a long distance.

After finishing, Glenn said, "Speaking of which, although I already know the general history of the town of Bayek, I still don't know many details. Why don't the mayor briefly explain it while Sisili is here?"

"It's all old news, but if you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

The mayor did not refuse and said slowly:

“I used to be a mercenary and I liked to wander around. Finally, due to the request and last wish of my father, the mayor, I came back to inherit his town, which is Bayek.

"At that time, Bayek was part of the vampire kingdom, and the townspeople of Bayek were naturally slaves. They had to pay blood taxes to the kingdom regularly. Although it sounds miserable, the vampire queen at that time was a very kind queen, and we didn't live too badly. We could even say that we lived very well, better than the townspeople of many human kingdoms.

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The kind queen was betrayed, and the new ruler was extremely cruel. I had a bad temper at the time, and the townspeople were also brave and aggressive, so at my suggestion, we became the first force to resist.

“After a hard struggle, we, the common people looked down upon by the vampires, defeated the rulers. It was then that we discovered that we were born to be good at fighting.

"I, Santandraven, am a natural god of war. Since the day I started the rebellion, I have never been defeated. Those vampires who thought they were powerful were no match for my giant hammer. Even the most powerful vampire duke at that time could not kill me. In the end, I killed him!

“We originally thought that everything would be bright after we overthrew the rulers, but in the end… As you know, the Plague God has descended. As the seventh world disaster of the continent, we have no power to resist.

“The invincible resistance army suffered heavy casualties. If it weren’t for the sacrifices of those great men, we the survivors would have only a glimmer of hope.

“After escaping the disaster, we all dispersed. In the Plague God’s territory, we not only had to survive with difficulty, but also had to constantly fight against the plague that mutated every once in a while.

"I have forgotten how I managed to survive. At that time, only the endless fire of revenge drove me forward. The images of my companions who died would appear in every dream. They hoped that I could avenge them.

“I know that the Plague God actually knows of our existence, but it doesn’t take action to destroy us. It enjoys watching us struggling to survive in pain.

"This is its biggest mistake. It thought that the Continental Alliance outside was the threat, but it was wrong. When we survivors gather together, that will be its death!

“After years of survival, we have mastered the secrets of the Plague God’s power and its weaknesses. With our power that can rival that of gods, we have been unstoppable all the way. No matter the plague creatures that are close to gods or the terrifying descendants of gods, they cannot stop us... until finally, the Plague God fell before us!

"But there is a price to pay. Each of us is fatally contaminated. It will be another disaster if we get out. So we returned to the town and locked ourselves up. Although some of my companions were unwilling, I still forced them to change their wills. Forgive me for burning bridges, but I think it is right to do so."

After listening to the mayor's story, Glenn shook his head and said, "Others are not qualified to judge whether you are right or wrong. You have done enough."

"Thank you for your understanding." The mayor nodded.

Soon, Sisili came back to the town jumping.

Although she has regained her human body, her strength is still strong, and her speed of travel is naturally not slow.

Seeing Glenn standing on the street waiting for her, Sisili went up to greet him with a smile: "Hey! Glenn, the mayor just called me back and said there was something very important. Really, I just made a few friends..."
