Hong didn't give Dulles a good look at all, and the force on his hand increased.
This humble last executioner is truly a freak.
With his strength as a high-ranking executioner, he had to get so close to it to see through its disguise, and he even almost missed it.
For some reason, this weak executioner always made her feel extremely uneasy, and its behavior always made her feel unpredictable.
He's obviously just a weak and pitiful guy.
Plus,
All the memory fragments recorded by the city-protecting alchemy circle that I summoned were read by this guy...
The girl sitting in the bamboo basket lowered her eyes,
He seemed to be considering whether to disobey his mentor's orders and kill Dulles.
"I said I came here for a trip, would you believe me?"
The director of the lunatic asylum was smiling and staring straight at the face of the Blood Sea Queen, with an inexplicable confidence.
It seems to know that even though this woman has always hated it, she will never kill herself personally.
really...
After a few seconds, the small white hands holding his throat slowly released.
Dulles fell heavily to the ground and then got up.
"No wonder you would use humans to find this place." Dulles patted the dust on his pants, "This place can actually block the executioner's perception. If I hadn't been standing here, I would never have discovered that there is a city here. .”
"I remember my mentor assigned you a task."
Hong did not answer Dulles' words and spoke.
"That's not important." Dulles spread his hands, "I don't have the strength to fight against it yet. At least, I need to improve it first."
"Hmph!" Hong lowered her head so that no one could see her expression clearly, "Since you don't like pushing a cart and leisurely selling ice sodas at the Blood Lake Amusement Park, then you are suitable to taste this kind of excitement. Adventure life.”
"What's the meaning?"
Dulles sensed something was wrong and involuntarily took two steps back.
"It's very simple." Hong raised his head and narrowed his eyes, "I will send you down to follow the scientific expedition team in my place, as my eyeliner."
"I don't think so, Master Hong."
Dulles ran away.
joke!
It’s not like it didn’t see how the devil believer died before?
but...
An endless sea of blood spurted out from the ground, instantly imprisoning Dulles in place.
"Don't be afraid." Hong said in a soothing tone, although she still sneered from time to time, "As you can see, there are two scientific expedition teams that have arrived here before us. There are two of them. An old friend I know very well."
"Since they were able to successfully enter after suppressing their power, I think you, who are already extremely weak, should have no problem."
【But what if something goes wrong?】
Dulles sighed.
But this sentence was not meant for the Queen of the Blood Sea.
But...
"Then you'll die! There won't be any ashes left."
Strangers can’t laugh or cry,
"As long as you give a more reliable reason, she won't doubt you. Traveling? If I hear this excuse, I will leave you behind."
[Then...can you ask her to pull me up and do it again?]
"What do you think?"
Buzz!
There was a flash of white light, and Dulles' body fell into the round hole.
Crunch!
Crunch!
The bamboo basket flying in the air swayed gently, and Hong's figure gradually moved away.
...
"Here, have a drink of water."
As soon as he regained consciousness, a soft call came from Yunfan's ear.
Then the cool liquid entered his mouth, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Wake up."
The first thing he saw was the face of a scientific expedition team member.
With the help of this team member, Yunfan stood up from the ground and began to look around and observe the surrounding environment.
Looking up,
The top was completely black, like a pure black dome tilting down, and there was no trace of the round hole.
And all around them were stone walls taller than skyscrapers. These stone walls were carved with gleaming magic formations and patterns.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and some of these magic lines have long since faded and lost their former glory. However, there are still some sophisticated magic circles that are still working, and the light they bring can barely dispel the darkness in the nearer area.
A little further away are intricate staircases, and I don’t know where they lead.
At this time, the old professor was standing in front of the wall directly behind them, concentrating on identifying the witch's words on it.
"What's written on it? Is there any record of how to leave?"
One of the scientific expedition members sneezed, hugged his shoulders and shivered.
"Here..." After a while, the old professor responded, "There are records about this city's beliefs and other things."
As he said that, the old professor walked to the other side and observed the other high wall.
"Belief?"
The man who helped Yunfan up had doubts in his tone.
"Yes. Faith." The old professor explained while examining the text, "It says that witches and alchemists at that time believed in nature and worshiped nature. They believed that their power came from heaven and earth, and they should feed nature back after death."
"But they particularly hate a thing named 'Deer Ziweier', which when translated should be what we humans call God."
"Advocating nature but hating God? Isn't this self-contradictory?"
Dulles said something.
"It's not contradictory." The old professor shook his head, "In their mythological system, they believe that God is the traitor of the world."
"It says, the great witch told me, that everything in Deerziweir comes from nature and is no different from other living things. However, it does not care about other life, and it is a natural disaster that often causes chaos in the world."
"Oh, it also says that God later suffered the same predicament as nature."
"God used his own power to derive some beings, and these creatures are the puppets he uses to bring trouble to the world. They are called here 'those who bring about all evil'."
"However, these 'those who have accomplished all evil' also turned their backs on God later on. These beings have the same dirty and ugly nature as God, and betrayal and abandonment are their nature."

.”
"There are also some common senses about witches or alchemists. For example, during the coming-of-age ceremony, a witch will choose a mentor who will follow her until death and regard him as a 'mentor'..."
"Oh, things are bad, boys." The old professor suddenly changed the topic, "This is not the real city of witches and alchemy."
"The place we are currently at is just one of the thousands of checkpoints before officially entering the city. We still have a long way to go before we can truly enter this big city."
"This records how to open the passage to the City of Witches and Alchemy. It's just..."
"Just what?"
One of them seemed a little impatient.
"It's just that we can only use the stupidest method now."
"Damn it, these witches and alchemists are not good people either!"
The professor pointed to a row of words,
"This records the number of alchemy materials that were transported into this city at a certain time."
"And the alchemy material that accounts for the largest proportion among them is humans..."
"They are real people like you and me!"
"Any alchemical formation is inseparable from the four major elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. But above these four major elements, there is a higher-dimensional element that can be transformed into other elements at will."
"This higher element is ether, or soul energy, the human soul..."
"Whether we want to leave or enter, we must sacrifice human beings as alchemical materials to fill up the working energy required by this magic circle!"
These words,
It’s almost a clear question of who wants to die!
The next moment, the five people took a few steps back at the same time, looking at each other defensively.
【The game officially begins!】
As the system prompt sounded, Yunfan instantly gained control of this body.
