Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 65 Gathering to Watch Movies (Seeking monthly votes, thank you)

Mark and the others looked at the gruesome, bloody corpses, and every single one of them felt their stomachs churning.

I've seen dead bodies and severed limbs, but the scene before me was far too shocking. To put it bluntly, even a Devouring Beast wouldn't grind a person into pieces of minced meat.

On the high platform, Charles covered his mouth with a handkerchief, his Adam's apple bobbing several times before he quickly turned his head away, no longer looking down.

“One of our men is dead, Brie,” said the Lightbringer.

"What about the other two?" Charles asked with a gloomy face.

Bree was a master of flattery, particularly adept at ingratiating himself, and also quite capable of getting things done.

The key issue is that his death would damage the reputation and prestige of the Light and Shadow Society and themselves.

After all, the Lord of Light and Shadow was supposed to protect every devout believer, yet he was shattered to pieces on his own territory, a truly embarrassing situation.

"The doctors in the medical department are all practical talents, so the loss is considerable," He Guangzhe replied.

Another person emerged from the darkness behind, with slender limbs, a well-proportioned figure, and a delicate yet aloof face beneath black hair.

"Chief, why are you interested in that survivor from the surface?" Her voice held a seductive quality that seemed out of place with her appearance and demeanor.

Upon hearing his sister ask this question, He Guangzhe unconsciously raised his head slightly.

The two sisters, named Fantie and Fantie, both held very high positions in the Light and Shadow Society and served as Charles's work and personal secretaries, much like his right-hand men who helped him solve his problems.

"Eri, what a dreamy and beautiful name," Charles said, his brows relaxing with a touch of reverie. "She is beautiful, radiating a purity and innocence that doesn't belong to this world, untouched by the filth and dust of the apocalypse."

Fandi and Fanlu exchanged a glance and remained silent, surprised that even the head of the association, who was being served by the two of them, would feel repressed.

"I believe she is a gift bestowed upon me by the Lord of Light and Shadow. Only a woman like her is qualified to be a saint of the Light and Shadow Society!" Charles's tone became excited.

"A saintess?" the two sisters exclaimed in unison.

Wait, when did our Light and Shadow Society's Saintess appear?

Dear Chief, what are you doing here?

"I witnessed the descent of the Lord of Light and Shadow on the ground, and Erii comes from the ground. She is a flower of hope sent by the Lord of Light and Shadow. I'm sure the believers will find this very appealing?" Charles was completely immersed in his own fantasies, packaging his personal desires as religious needs.

He paused, then said gloomily, "It's a pity, a bird as untamed as her is hard to tame, but I have plenty of time. As long as she's still in the lighthouse, she won't escape my grasp."

Vatican finally understood.

This head of the association, who has always pursued power and is used to playing with livestock tamed by the three laws, suddenly saw a white dove flying freely in the sky and was unable to suppress his unprecedented desire to conquer and possess it.

As for the idea of ​​falling in love at first sight, it seems rather absurd for the dignified leader of the Light and Shadow Society.

Even so, this situation still made the two sisters resentful, and for the first time in their lives they experienced jealousy.

"Where was Erii when it happened?" Victor asked sternly.

"I checked the surveillance footage; she just came out of the medical area, which is quite far from here," Sengge replied.

"You suspect her?" Mark asked, puzzled. "She just arrived at the lighthouse, what reason would she have to kill someone?"

"Don't overreact, I'm just speculating reasonably, after all, she got into trouble as soon as she arrived," Victor explained calmly.

"Where is she now?" Seng asked, turning around.

"Two minutes ago, I went to the outer terrace of the West District with a few Dust People kids," Hilda replied.

West section, on a spacious and quiet metal terrace.

-

"Ahhh~"

Erii and 9033 sat on the swing, while two little boys pushed them from behind, sweating profusely.

9033 kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to look down, and kept exclaiming in surprise.

This game looks dangerous, but it's actually not safe at all.

If your butt slips, you can experience parachute-less parachute landing, which will scare you to death before you even land.

But the view here is excellent, and there are no residential areas of the common people blocking the view. Erii is enjoying this moment of carefree relaxation.

Erica had already left because of something, but before leaving, she urged the three children to make sure Erii was safely returned to the Hunter Base.

"Sister, what does the ground look like?" 8925 asked curiously.

"What—woohoo—nothing—" Erii's voice was carried away by the wind as the swing bounced back and forth in the wind.

"Are there really a lot of Devouring Beasts?" 9027 asked as well.

"Hmm, that's dangerous." Erii had had enough fun and jumped off the swing with 9033.

She thought for a moment, "What fun things do you have at home?"

It wasn't awkward small talk; it was genuine curiosity.

So, they enthusiastically led Erii on a parkour race through the Dust Village, finally stopping at a suspended platform and bending over to crawl into a pipe.

Erii followed closely behind, and suddenly the view opened up. She went down the ladder into a room made up of two shipping containers.

"Look! These are all our treasures!" 8925 proudly pointed to a dilapidated metal cabinet.

The flower clusters cut from plastic, the robot pieced together from construction waste, the bullet casings Mark gave them, the compressed biscuit jar Ran Bing gave them, the autograph Mo Cheng insisted on giving them—if you have to say, they were all scraps, but in the eyes of the three little ones, they were incredibly precious.

Erii thought for a moment, then took out her camera and gestured for them to take a group photo with the cabinet as the background.

So far, she has no more than two hands' worth of new photos on her camera, mainly candid shots of the hunters, the post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the lighthouse. She really doesn't want to waste memory and battery power on what she has seen and heard in the Upper District.

Then, she took out a bag of lollipops and threw them to the three of them, and took out a Pachana plush toy and handed it to 9033.

The little girl's eyes widened immediately, sparkling in the dim room, and she said in a clear, happy voice, "Thank you, big sister!"

"What are you three whispering about again? Don't disturb this old man's sleep! Are you Miss Earth Survivor?!" 0609 walked out from the opposite room, and immediately lost all sleepiness after seeing Erii.

Two hours later.

As night fell, a large group of people gathered around 0609's house, intently watching the banned DVDs playing on an old-fashioned television.

Erii was also in the movie, completely immersed in it, her young heart deeply moved and unable to extricate herself.

The movie ended, but I still felt like I wanted more.

"Boss, if we gather together to watch this kind of banned film, won't we get arrested by the law enforcement and burned at the stake?" a commoner asked fearfully.

"Don't worry, what are we anyway? Burning us at the stake would be a waste of fuel; at worst, we'd be beheaded as a warning," 0609 said with a smile, trying to comfort us.

"Are all the scenes here real? Are cities in the old world really like that?" 9033 asked with great longing.

"And what about those animals, the ocean, and the snow-capped mountains? Do these things really exist in the world?" 8925 followed up with the question.

Once everyone started talking, they all began to bombard the oldest student, 0609, with their questions.

"It's true," Erii said softly.

"Sister, you've met her before?!" 9033 looked up in surprise.

"Hmm." Erii said, looking at the blurry pattern on the disc case. She could roughly make out the font—"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty".

In a cage like a lighthouse, a group of low-income laborers gather together to secretly watch such a movie; it is indeed a form of torture.

"Miss Erii, would you like something to eat?" a kind-looking, tall, and honest-looking commoner asked in a friendly manner.

He held a dry biscuit in his hand, looking completely unappetizing.

"These are insect cakes, made from a type of insect called cockroach. This is what the lighthouse prepares for our three meals a day," 0609 explained.

Erii froze, then took out a box of chocolate bars from her backpack and handed it to 0609, "You can share them with everyone."

The old man looked at the brand-new box in his hand and the familiar Japanese writing, and said gratefully incredulously, "Everyone, hurry up and thank Miss Erii!"
