The quill was stained with ink, and the tip of the pen fell on the white paper, writing elegant handwriting one after another.The writer's palm is too thick, and he spent a lot of effort to hold the pen well. He writes very slowly, very slowly.

[After completing his tour of the State of Misty Mist, the sword-bearer learned of the changes in the State of Blade Rain from Governor Prince in red.They decided to go to the State of Rain of Blades to investigate, because that was their planned next stop, which was a reasonable development.

On the other hand, the ranger Sevis who was guided by intuition also came here.The weather in the Rain of Blades always made her back feel tingling, but this time the pain was particularly intense.

It was getting late, they should have rested first.But after entering the State of Blade Rain, a series of unexpected events made them unable to free themselves.Compared with the previous few states, the atmosphere seemed too depressing, which made some members feel uncomfortable.

It has been raining. 】

·
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Weatherlight passed the dividing line between the State of Misty Mist and the State of Blade Rain.A group of people only stayed in the fog for less than a day, which made Wawu, who was commemorating Meiwu, feel a little pity.

"We have to go to town tonight!" Shi Yuling shouted at the top of his voice, "I will never camp in this weather!"

"There is no town!" Gongsun Ce responded loudly, "There are no small gathering places in this ghost place, we must go to the city!"

The dark clouds were as thick as floating steel, the ground had long been a muddy puddle, and the downpour of rain was like the sad cry of a god in the sky.Every drop of raindrops was as sharp as a blade, cutting all tangible objects on the ground into horrible shapes.Gongsun Ce added a white shed to the top of the Weatherlight, otherwise they wouldn't be able to drive at all.The constant sound of rain slapping on the roof was so distracting that they had to speak up or they couldn't hear each other.

"It's so noisy!" Shi Yuling yelled.

Gongsun Ce had an idea, and used white matter to make a series of silence runes outside the car. The world became quiet in an instant, and everyone in the car heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Qianbai stretched out his hand out of the window, watching the raindrops rolling in his palm.

"This place is not suitable for human habitation, and ordinary people cannot live under the rain of blades."

"I searched and found that the locals are still very creative..." Qi Luo quickly scanned the tablet, "The wiki shows that the locals used rainwater to build a layer of 'water shield' outside the city. It will be integrated into the artificial water cycle, looking at the pictures, the city here is as beautiful as an underwater city, and their sky is a layer of crystal water film."

"What's the principle? Won't the water film be pierced by the rain knife?" Shi Yuling said.

"No, because once the rain 'falls', it is no longer rain." Dawn Knight replied, "Observe carefully, you can find that the rainwater flowing on the ground is not physically lethal, which is why the local people can survive roots. Before water shield technology, the locals lived underground."

"The local ancestors were probably persecuted in the past, right? I'd rather think wildly in the mist than survive under the rain of blades." Gongsun Ce guessed.

"It is reasonable to speculate that relevant research shows that the local ancestors were persecuted and expelled during political struggles. This place was a place where criminals were exiled more than 1000 years ago."

The science popularization about the Blade Rain State made the gloomy atmosphere in the car even more intense. Qiluo tried to change the radio station, hoping to listen to a song to soothe the atmosphere.Perhaps because the signal in the wilderness is not good, there are always intermittent noises from the speakers, and the baritone of the host seems to be talking in sleep.

"Rain...drenched dreams...blood...moon...childhood...nightmare...no tomorrow..."

Shi Yuling gave a resounding "tsk": "Please turn it off, thank you."

Dawn Knight turned off the radio, and Gongsun Ce made a particularly constructive suggestion.

"In my opinion, traveling by car in this ruined place is not a pleasant thing. I will directly carry the car and fly to the capital to stay and investigate slowly. What do you think?"

All the staff unanimously agreed to this suggestion, so Gongsun Ce directly used his telekinetic power to lift the Weatherlight and flew to the distant city at high speed in the rain.

They left, and the world was once again overrun by the sound of rain.Not long after, a pair of rain boots stepped into the muddy ground, and a tall black figure stood in the bladed rain, looking at the direction of the vehicle and whispering.

"The rain soaks the dream, the blood stains the bright moon, we no longer have childhood. The nightmare connects you and me, there is no tomorrow in the rain of blades, there will never be a tomorrow."

·
Water Shield City, the capital of Blade Rain State, is a beautiful city. The water shield protecting the town looks like a blue crystal ball from a distance. The ingenious local people made coral, swimming fish, The carvings in the shape of whales make residents feel as if they live on the bottom of the sea.This melancholy city is the hometown of many great writers, and there are still many people who stand on the edge of the city watching the rain and write their works amidst the sound of the rain.

——The above is an excerpt from the information searched by Yu Qiluo, but the reality witnessed by everyone is quite different from the description on the Internet.The Water Shield City is dilapidated, and there are not many lights on the streets at night. The air water shield, which claims to be a perfect protection against blade rain, is riddled with holes. The blade-like raindrops cut utility poles, bus stop signs, and residential buildings. Let the city look like the ruins after the war.

It took Gongsun Ce nearly 10 minutes to find the first living person. If this person was not wearing a bloated protective suit and had just emerged from the ground, he would have thought that the person was a zombie in a doomsday movie.

"The blood of the saint!" A man's exclamation came from the protective suit, "Don't wear protective suits?! Are you crazy?!"

"We are self-driving tourists. It took us a while to get here, and we don't know much about the local conditions," Gongsun Ce said.

The man in the protective suit fixed his gaze on the convertible, as if seeing a dragon descending.

"I must be too tired." The man said, "No matter how you got here, go underground first. The ground is too dangerous now."

He led the Weatherlight to the vehicle-only entrance. The facility looked a lot like an empire subway station.They took the elevator all the way down, and when the door opened, an underground city appeared in front of everyone.Colorful neon lights illuminate the dark space, colorful advertisements, videos, and holographic projections fill the surface of the building, and people's prosthetic bodies glisten under the lights.

The man took off his astronaut-like helmet, revealing a tired face. His eyes were baggy and bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

"Moulton Lee, grassroots policeman. I sincerely advise you—no matter what you are here for—to grab a ticket for the safest subway, and hurry up."

"Thank you for the suggestion. We are here because of work." Gongsun Ce shook hands with him, "Can I call Officer Li?"

"My dad is from the Empire, of course it's fine." Police Officer Li returned the imperial accent with an accent, "You can understand at a glance that there is a big problem with the weather. The rain is not only violent but also regular, and it changes so violently. The protection of the water shield can't hold up. There is no way to live on the ground, and now more than 90% of the residents have come to the underground to take shelter, and the remaining 10% are unwilling to withdraw to wait for death above, it is really crazy."

"Hey, you don't want to take refuge after this? What if you get stabbed to death by raindrops?" Shi Yuling said in surprise.

"If people don't want to leave, they can't be forced. What can we do? Our police are miserable. Wear protective clothing and go up and talk to the dead guys. Grandpa and grandma, you can cooperate with the work to avoid the rain, okay? It's going to die this day." Officer Li sighed.

"Didn't the Church help?"

"The church itself is so busy that it helps the police... Listen to me, it's best to leave early."

Officer Li had to go back to do ideological work after leading the way. When saying goodbye, Gongsun Ce took out a can of pineapple beer from the trunk and gave it to him, which surprised the middle-aged man.

"I haven't had this brand for many years," said the officer. "The last time I was home with my dad was when we visited relatives."

Elandia drove towards the city's largest cathedral (Holy Bayonet Cathedral).In the dungeon, there were no dark clouds and blade rain in the sky above, and the sound insulation equipment also cut off the sound of the water, but everyone still vaguely felt that there was the sound of rain ringing in their ears, which was disturbing.Shi Yuling, who was idle and bored, observed the behavior of pedestrians on the side of the road, and she saw numbness, irritability and confusion.

"The atmosphere is very bad, their faces are covered with a layer of dust." She commented, "I assure you, there are many impulsive crimes in the dungeon, and there must be the kind of doomsday advocates and cult lunatics."

"How do you know?" Qi Luo asked curiously.

"I saw a lot when I was a hunter." Shi Yuling sneered.The short arrow in her waist suddenly disappeared, and a man in a hoodie across the street just pulled out his gun and was about to shout something when the short arrow nailed the gun to the ground.He stared at the fragments of the gun for a long time, let out a frantic roar, and slammed his head against the wall.

Gongsun Ce knocked the man unconscious with telekinetic power, and commented: "The situation is not good. People's emotions are easily influenced by the outside world. The underground is a depressing environment, and with the blade rain that broke the safety zone of the water shield, It’s hard not to think about anything.”

"Gongsun Ce, according to your theory, isn't the capital of the sky even more deadly?" Qi Luo said, "There are violent accidents and super power riots in our place every three days... Well, it is indeed more deadly."

"So the city of the sky is the worst city in the world. As senior citizens, you can look at the current situation without changing your face and still have the mood to joke. This is the best proof." Elandia said, "We have arrived."

The appearance of the Cathedral of the Holy Bayonet looks like the lower half of an hourglass, like an upright drop of water. Gongsun Ce learned from the explanatory board at the entrance that this church is a structure that contrasts up and down, and there is another upside-down building on the ground.

The usually clean and solemn church was in chaos at this time, and a large number of anxious believers gathered in the church, telling their troubles to the nearest clergy.

"I can't breathe, nun." "My son always says he has nightmares..." "The environment here makes people crazy, those projections are looking at me!" "I can't stand being underground! When will the water shield Can it be fixed?!"

Many people burst into tears as they talked, and the young nuns and monks were busy running around, but they couldn't make any sense, so they had to repeat over and over that the Supreme God would bless them. "Please calm down!" A middle-aged priest in the crowd waved his arms, trying to maintain order.His voice was weak, and his movements were vain like those of a seriously ill patient.

"The saint told us that people should help themselves..." the priest said in a daze, "so we should... stay strong... and..." The priest closed his eyes as if the soul had gone out of his body.He collapsed into the crowd, eliciting cries of terror.

Gongsun Ce's eyes were quick and his hands quickly used his telekinetic power to support the unconscious priest, and Shi Yu Lingyi patted Qi Luo's shoulder. "Change my image." "Okay!"

The ability to manipulate information turned Shigure Rei into a nun with a pure temperament. She appeared in the center of the crowd for a moment and clapped loudly to attract everyone's attention.

"Look here, God's friends! The priest has a cold occasionally, and it's not a serious problem. Now please keep calm and go home to rest."

Blossoming daffodils bloomed in the corner of the church, and the power of spiritual physiognomy soothed people's tense spirits.

"It's just an occasional phenomenon that the rain becomes heavier, and the bad days will definitely pass!"

Shigure Rei's voice made people nod in bewilderment. "Miss nun is right..." "It will be fine..." "It will be fine." The riot that almost happened was quelled, and the people calmed down one after another, and left the church under the guidance of the clergy.Ailandia and Gongsun Ce walked to the priest and made a preliminary examination on him.

"Ce, build the detective's symbolic formula based on the strange runes."

Gongsun Ce did as he said, the job was easy for him.He made a magnifying glass for detectives, put on a white deer hat and windbreaker for himself, and finally smoked a white pipe.

"Is it enough?"

"Slightly exaggerated." Dawn Knight commented, "But enough, observe."

Gongsun Ce took off his hat and picked up a magnifying glass: "In the name of the kingdom's best famous detective... as an assistant, reveal the hidden truth to me."

The simple ceremony was completed under the influence of too powerful force, and the scene in the magnifying glass changed suddenly.There was a trace of scarlet mist around the priest's head, and Gongsun Ce pulled out a tiny shuriken to cut off the mist.

"There is a slight supernatural influence." Gongsun Ce said, "but the main reason is that the priest is overworked. Let him rest first."

He lifted the unconscious priest up with telekinetic power and placed him on a small bed in the church.The young nun who received them was gaunt and soft-spoken.

"Father Andrew hasn't had a good night's sleep in three days." The little nun wiped her tears, "Holy One... when will this day end!"

Gongsun Ce showed the token gifted by Will, and told her that he and his party were supporters sent by the church, and that the abnormal weather would definitely be resolved.Before he could even ask the agents about their investigation, his cell phone rang again.The strange yet familiar caller made Gongsun Ce feel puzzled.

"Hello, Miss Sevis?"

"Hey handsome guy, I remember you gave me a commission to report a special situation before?" The female ranger hesitated when she spoke, "What the hell, how far are you from the Blade Rain State?"

Gongsun Ce originally planned to find an excuse to deal with it first, but he immediately lifted his spirits when he heard this.

"It's very close." He said, "I heard about the change here, have you found out the source of the rain?"

"No, no. It's not just the rain." Sevis's reply was so bizarre that she didn't even believe it, "I don't know how to say it, it looks like a horror movie... Do you have any magicians there?"
