The moonlight shines.

The surrounding illusion suddenly became clear.

What appeared in Su Ran's sight were undead spirits appearing from all over the alley.

Different from the undead army seen in the Sky City before, the undead in the Shadow Corridor look more like the wanderers in this area.

Or……

More like a group of abandoned, homeless wretches.

As for who their original owner was...

This is a problem.

"Stop moving forward."

"Keep the team in formation."

"Let's clear out the undead souls in this neighborhood first."

Yang Peilin calmly issued the order.

Fortunately, the fighting power of these wandering undead is not very high. Some of them don't even have a handy sword. Instead, they just drag a half-rotten body and attack with the last remaining instinct.

[Experience value +0.2]

[Experience value +0.2]

…

Judging from the values ​​​​popped up by the system, it is enough to know how worthless these wandering little undead are.

But even so, Su Ran's enthusiasm for killing monsters was still at its climax.

Because as he continued to kill, Eleno was continuously absorbing dark spiritual energy from all around.

"At this level of progress..."

"If we can complete the development of the Shadow Corridor, maybe we can collect all of Eleno's dark attribute spiritual crystals..."

"In this way, we can at least unlock the form of the Xuanjian..."

Su Ran thought.

The work of clearing the undead from the first block is progressing very smoothly.

But when the finishing work is coming to an end.

A melodious bell sound suddenly came from a certain direction.

when--

Ethereal and melodious.

Su Ran looked around.

I saw it in a very far away place.

A tall bell tower was looming under the dim moonlight in the clouds and mist.

When the sound came, the undead seemed to have heard some call, and immediately gave up their intention to continue to entangle with the team, and retreated at high speed in the direction of the bell.

It was as if I had been summoned from somewhere.

"What's going on?" Su Ran was a little confused.

"Twilight Knell."

Li Luo on the side said,

"In order to control and control the undead, the Church of Thorns invented and created this method of controlling them through the sound of bells."

"Almost all shadow corridors will have one or two twilight clock towers to control the actions of the undead."

"Oh..." Su Ran suddenly realized, and immediately smiled helplessly, "I have nothing. As a captain, I am really ashamed."

"This is normal. Many people don't know it." Li Luo said with a smile, "After all, I heard it from my father."

"He is a very powerful pioneer, right?" Su Ran said casually.

"Yes." Li Luo nodded, "The pioneering team he led is one of the few teams that has actually been to the Dark City."

"What about him now?"

"He hasn't been back for a long time." Li Luo smiled helplessly, "Since I can remember, he has almost always been on missions."

"Speaking of this, I can understand your mood very well." Su Ran said sadly, "My father is almost the same person."

"Actually, we are not the same." Li Luo chuckled, "Your father is very good, but my father, although he is an excellent pioneer, is neither a good father nor a good husband."

Su Ran was speechless for a moment.

A trace of regret and sadness flashed in Li Luo's eyes, which made him a little overwhelmed.

However, these expressions were fleeting and fleeting.

She quickly returned to her original appearance, with her iconic smile and dimples appearing on her face again.

The topic was quickly moved to another place.

Although Su Ran felt that she and Li Luo seemed to get along very well, and they had a lot of contacts and interactions before college.

But even now, he still feels that there is still a faint sense of strangeness between him and Li Luo.

It's as if this girl has an aloof temperament that makes it difficult for people to truly become familiar and good friends with her.

But Su Ran didn't feel surprised at all.

After all, that's the truth.

The relationship between people depends on fate.

Some people hit it off immediately upon meeting them, and some people remain strangers throughout their lives.

The clearing work in the first block was quickly completed.

Everyone took a short rest in place.

In reality, Kyoto time is only less than eight o'clock in the morning, but in the Shadow Gallery, it feels like late night or early morning.

"Actually, I'm very envious of you." While chatting, Li Luo talked about other topics, "You have a very good sister."

Su Ran was immediately amused and laughed:

"Hahaha, there's really nothing to envy. Really good sisters are from other people's families, or from novels and anime!"

"Sunai's words..."

Su Ran suddenly lowered her voice and whispered into Li Luo's ear,

"Don't tell me, sister..."

"My elder sister is so fierce that others think she is a cold and iceberg beauty, but this is just an illusion..."

"In my opinion, she is just a tomboy~"

"Pfft." Li Luo couldn't help but laugh.

"Really, why are you lying to me?"

Su Ran shrugged and couldn't help but talk more.

"But to be honest, it feels good to have an older sister and a younger sister. Although sometimes I feel very angry and annoyed, but..."

"Sometimes I feel that it's actually quite nice to have my family with me..."

"For example, my parents rarely come back."

"Almost all the food that I can think of in my mind is made by my sister."

Su Ran murmured,

"Sometimes I also think that if I didn't have my sister, my life might be a mess...and I also hate the feeling of having no hope, you know?"

"Even if I live in confusion, I don't know who I can rely on or who I can live for..."

"It's like Crayon Shin-chan lost Xiaobai, Nobita lost Doraemon..."

"Life is suddenly incomplete..."

Listening to Su Ran's casual thoughts, Li Luo just chuckled and said nothing.

"What about you?" Su Ran stretched and said casually, "Are you an only child?"

Li Luo shook his head, and after pondering for a while, he added: "I also have a sister."

"Oh?" Su Ran frowned, "I guess... she's probably gentler than Sunai, right?"

"That's right." Li Luo smiled, "But she is much more dangerous than Sunai."

"Eh?"

Su Ran was startled, not quite understanding the meaning of Li Luo's words.
