At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Li packed three books into his suitcase, and after talking with Lilia, he took "lighthouse" and a common oil lamp, and set off with Anna to the appointed meeting place, Western Hills.
Centuries ago, this area had been accessible only to royalty by permission, and it was made completely open to the public a hundred years ago. Standing at the top of the hill, one could overlook the vast City of Endless Night and the beautiful Star Lake, which mirrors the stars in the sky, making it a popular spot for picnics and gatherings.
That was until the first Night Disaster struck.
Plants ceased to grow, fog shrouded the sky, and the wilderness became dangerous. No one was willing to go to the Western Hills anymore, where trees withered and lakes turned to dead waters.
