Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

The blood-red staircase descends all the way down.

Not long after Jiang Luo left, the entrance above his head completely disappeared.

All that remained was the churning, dark red seawater.

There is no real sky here, nor can you see any boundaries. The sea of ​​blood is like something upside down at the bottom of the world, with the water floating above and below. Countless bloodline chains of varying thickness extend from the depths, connecting the thirteen branches.

Each chain is filled with memories left behind by the vampires over hundreds of years.

Birth.

The First Embrace.

kill.

betray.

Countless vampires, even on their deathbeds, cling to the obsession with blood and immortality.

As soon as Jiang Luo stepped onto the surface of the sea of ​​blood, the surrounding seawater receded to both sides.

Dracula's essence vibrated gently within her.

The bloodline chain belonging to the ninth branch swam from afar, like a large dog that had mistaken its master, circling Jiang Luo twice before cautiously touching her feet.

Jiang Luo looked down.

"Your master was eaten by Lolo, and you're still trying to get close to him?"

The bloodline chains trembled.

Dracula's blurry face appeared on the surface.

The moment that face opened its mouth, Jiang Luo stepped on it.

*Splat*

"They were annoying when they were alive, and now that they're dead, they want to come out and scare people."

Dracula's afterimage was immediately stepped back onto the chains.

The ninth branch immediately became obedient.

Jiang Luo continued forward, following the scent of pollution.

The deeper you go, the darker the seawater becomes. At first, you can still see the blood-red color, but later, only viscous black water like oil remains.

The button in the rag bear's arms was also turning its eyes faster and faster.

The contaminated fragments sealed inside kept crashing against the calamity patterns, trying to return to the main consciousness.

Jiang Luo simply grabbed the bear by the ears and used it as a compass.

"Which way?"

Button's eyes first turned to the left, then suddenly turned to the right.

They clearly have no intention of cooperating.

Jiang Luo squinted her eyes, her fair little hand pinching the button, and gently pulled it outwards.

"If you point at me again, Lolo will pry you out and stuff you into Xiaobai's dessert."

Button's eyes froze instantly.

Then, quite honestly, he looked into the deepest part of the sea of ​​blood.

(￣▽￣)／

It would have been better if we had done this earlier.

Jiang Luo released his grip and continued forward.

Suddenly, a mechanical grinding sound rang out all around.

Click.

Click click.

The voice sounded familiar.

It was like the sound of internal parts rotating every time the broken system shell popped up a message.

Jiang Luo slowed down.

A figure appeared on the black sea ahead, seemingly out of nowhere.

The man, dressed in a tattered long overcoat, stood in the middle of the blood with his back to Jiang Luo. His shoulders and arms were covered with silver-gray metal, and a piece of extinguished blue core was embedded in his chest.

Just looking at their backs.

It really does resemble the system shell left behind by Jiang Juechen.

The figure slowly turned around.

A smile cracked across the metallic face.

"You've finally arrived."

Jiang Luo stopped ten meters away.

Its large, ruby-like eyes looked it up and down.

"A broken metal shell?"

"it's me."

The figure reached out a hand to her, its voice even carrying a hint of gentleness, "I've been waiting for you for a long time in this sea of ​​blood. The truth of the Twilight Battle is hidden here, as is your true origin. Just come over, and I'll tell you everything."

Jiang Luo did not move.

The figure continued, "You no longer need to bear the calamity alone. Entrust the world's will to me, and I will cleanse you of the pollution and restore Red Moon Castle to its former glory."

After listening, Jiang Luo suddenly smiled.

It's not that soft, cute laugh you give when you're trying to be cute.

Instead, he laughed when he saw the fool jump into the pit himself.

"You're not a broken metal shell."

The figure opposite paused.

Why?

"That broken metal shell is now just an empty shell. It speaks coldly and harshly, refusing to utter a single extra word beyond essential information. You expect it to gently coax Lolo? And even do chores for Lolo?"

Jiang Luo raised her small hand, and a wisp of calamity-inducing black light condensed at her fingertips.

"If it were really that diligent, it would have paid back the money it owed Luo Luo long ago."

The smile on the figure's face slowly disappeared.

Jiang Luo added, "And it will never let Luo Luo hand over the world's will. That thing is like a broken lock now, only popping up a warning."

The words fell.

Jiang Luo flicked her fingertips lightly.

A dark red light passed through the center of the figure's brow.

Click.

The silver-gray outer shell is cracked.

There was no mechanical structure inside, only a dense network of black blood vessels.

The figure instantly swelled, its features contorted, and it emitted a piercing scream.

"Don't you want to know where you came from?"

"Not interested."

Jiang Luo pressed her small hand down.

boom!

The corrupted puppet impersonating Jiang Juechen was slammed into a sea of ​​blood.

The calamity-inducing patterns spread along the surface of the sea, tearing it into countless black fragments.

The fragments did not disappear.

Instead, it seeped into the surrounding seawater, coalescing into scenes of devastation.

The Vampire Sanctuary from a hundred years ago.

The sky was torn apart by a rift in the abyss.

Countless pollutants fell through the cracks.

Jiang Juechen stood above the sea of ​​blood, with the half-collapsed Red Moon Castle behind him.

The progenitor of the vampires sat on the edge of the blood coffin, almost all of his six pairs of bat wings broken off.

The two appeared to be arguing.

However, there is no sound on the screen.

Jiang Luo only saw Jiang Juechen drive a black nail into the core of the Blood Sea, and then pull out a wisp of calamity essence from his chest and wrap it around the surface of the nail.

Then.

The entire sea of ​​blood fell silent.

The abyss rift was also forcibly dragged underground.

The video didn't end immediately.

The progenitor of the vampires stood up, propped up by her tattered bat wings, seemingly trying to stop Jiang Juechen. She pointed at the black nail, her expression extremely grim.

Jiang Juechen simply shook his head.

He pressed a corner of the Crimson Moon Castle into the sea of ​​blood, then sealed the nails with the essence of calamity. When he finally turned around, his metallic face was mostly cracked, and the blue core in his chest flickered between light and shadow.

The progenitor of the vampires did not continue to obstruct them.

She slit her wrist and pressed a drop of golden-red progenitor blood onto the tip of the nail.

Two completely different rules briefly merged.

The entire sea of ​​blood then sank.

Before the abyss rift was dragged underground, a huge black eye opened from behind the crack, looking down at them across two worlds.

The scene shattered completely at this point.

Jiang Luo's smile faded slightly.

This memory doesn't seem fake.

Pollution can mimic appearances, but it is difficult to forge the traces left by the world's will.

That black nail did indeed carry Jiang Juechen's aura of calamity.

In other words.

A hundred years ago, the broken iron shell sealed something beneath a sea of ​​blood.

Now that the main source of pollution has deliberately entered this area, it's probably targeting that nail.

"You've caused trouble for Luo Luo again."

Jiang Luo rubbed his little tiger teeth.

When that broken metal shell truly wakes up.

The debt must be doubled.

She continued forward.

We hadn't gone far.

Thirteen bloodline chains rose simultaneously from the black water.

On each chain grows a constantly beating black heart.

thump.

thump.

Thirteen hearts maintained the same frequency.

They are connected by countless tiny blood vessels, which eventually converge at the bottom of the sea of ​​blood.

Jiang Luo stopped in her tracks.

The pollutant splitting organism in the button's eyes was so excited it was almost squeezing itself out.

This is the core area of ​​the main consciousness.

However, the main source of pollution did not hide its body in a particular heart.

It split itself into thirteen parts, each parasitizing one of the thirteen branches of the original chain.

Destroying one of them won't help.

The remaining twelve will be replenished immediately.

If all thirteen are destroyed at the same time.

The thirteen meridians will also be severed.

The progenitor of the vampires was right.

This thing has already bound itself to the entire vampire clan.

At the same time, a mouth appears to split open on the surface of the black heart.

Thousands of voices overlapped and rang out.

You can't catch me.

"Unless you're willing to destroy the entire vampire clan."

Jiang Luo looked at the thirteen hearts.

Suddenly, he tilted his head.

"Who said Lolo had to catch them one by one?"

She held the rag bear up in front of her.

The button's eyes are facing thirteen hearts.

"You all came from the same lump of black mud, right?"

The main source of pollution did not respond.

Jiang Luo's lips slowly curled up into a smile.

"That makes things easier."
