0181 Chapter Four: The End of the Ordinary (Section 52)
Anbis Scarry leaned against the elevator wall, experiencing the weightlessness of high-speed descent while enjoying his own powerful strength.
Five bloody footprints were left on the floor of the elevator, which were stepped in by Anbis himself.
Like every descendant of Scarry, Anbis also yearns for immortality. But for the first time today, he experienced that having power is a more wonderful thing than immortality.
Outside the elevator entrance is a dilapidated stone corridor more than ten meters long. He left blood-red footprints on the entire stone corridor. At the end opposite the elevator entrance, human blood is still dripping drop by drop. It was a place from
A trap door in an unused prison cell.
Above the secret door, blood flowed from the corpses on the ground and gathered into a stream, flowing slowly towards the lower secret door.
During their lives, these were all secret guards directly under the Presbyterian Church, and they were carefully selected military kings from the major kingdoms in Europe and America. Although the best of these mortals were still unable to defeat the linked list warriors who could move at will in space, they gathered together
Together, they are enough to form a shocking oppression.
In the past, although they would have nodded and bowed to Anbis, Anbis knew that any one of them could kill him without any doubt within five seconds.
But now, they were torn apart by him alone with his bare hands, devouring their flesh and blood.
Of course, the precision-prepared finished product of [Eternal Water] will not turn Anbis into a monster that only eats human flesh and blood. He can completely control that hungry instinct, but he doesn't want to control it.
The feeling of having power is much more real than power and wealth. It is intoxicating and difficult to extricate oneself from.
This elevator leading deep underground is completely different from what Anbis remembered.
When he was young, as a direct descendant and an elder's heir, he was once taken into this secret passage and came to the entrance of the elevator, but he never went down.
At that time, his uncle, an old man who liked to carry a cane with him, taught him how to use the elevator, and then told him: If one day he has to take this elevator for the sake of his family, he must first be prepared not to look back.
Because it is only a one-way passage. No one is allowed to come up from here.
The elevator that Anbis remembers is a very old kind of freight elevator from two hundred years ago. The kind that requires you to pull up the mesh iron bars yourself and start it with a push rod on the ground.
You can see the rock wall outside through the fence during the whole process of ascending and descending. If you touch it with weak hands, you can even grind your fingers to pieces.
But what he saw now was a very modern high-speed elevator. Although the entire elevator car was not wrapped with glass instead of steel plates, it was reduced to a weightless level that ordinary people would not feel too sad at the astonishing speed.
The sense has shown the most cutting-edge technology of this era.
Obviously, without his knowledge, the Presbyterian Church had renovated this secret passage.
Fortunately, the opening method passed down by the family from generation to generation has not been changed. After showing the golden mask to the retinal scanner-like machine at the elevator door, the down button of the elevator lit up.
At the same time, with Anbis unconscious, all the traps in the ancient corridor outside the bottom exit of the elevator were temporarily shut down.
The elevator was traveling at extremely high speeds, but it still took several minutes to reach the bottom.
After stepping out of the elevator, Scarry saw a number of skeletons scattered on the ground. They were the workers who were responsible for installing the elevator, as well as family members who monitored the workers' work.
When the elevator was completed, the dead man killed all the workers and then committed suicide, leaving only two rusty pistols on the ground.
Of course, Anbis went to the ancient underground palace, the family's forbidden area, not to use his name as a bargaining chip to save the family from crisis. In his view, the ancient admonition of only making promises and not doing things was just to prevent future generations from relying on the things buried underground until critical moments.
Deep secrets.
As for whether the elevator will become unusable on the way back, Anbis is not worried at all. Although he has never paid the price to set foot on the sublimation path passed down by his family, with his current mutated physique, is he still unable to use his bare hands?
Climb a shaft several kilometers long?
After leaving the elevator, Anbis walked down the long aisle. It was obvious that the ancient entrance chosen by Zhen Cheng and others was closer to their destination.
Thinking about it this way, the Scarry ancestors deliberately built the castle so that it was not directly above the underground secrets. Maybe there was some unknown consideration?
The stone corridor deep underground is not a straight line, there are actually many forks in it. However, because Anbis used the golden mask to enter in a regular way, all the roads leading to the deadly trap were blocked.
Although the remaining road is not a straight line, it only leaves the only choice. This saves Anbis a lot of time.
Soon, he came to the end of the corridor. It was a rather large square stone hall.
There were colorful murals around the stone hall that had a bit of ancient Egyptian characteristics and were too exquisite compared to ancient times, but Anbis didn't notice it at all. There was a sealed stone door on the wall opposite the entrance, and he didn't notice it either.
care.
Because he has known since he was a child that there are no puzzle trials under the forbidden land. To activate the family's real trump card, all he needs is to use the family token at the end of the underground palace.
Anbis began to walk around the stone hall, paying attention to the details on the walls. Soon, he noticed the radiant golden mask in the center of the picture, which was exactly the same as the thing in his hand. Between the eyebrows, there was a mask hidden among the lines.
size grooves.
The lip line curved, Anbis showed a confident smile, and inserted the gold mask in his hand into the groove.
Perfect fit.
Wisps of golden light emerged in the stone hall, emitting a faint and mysterious dark golden light. These tiny golden particles were invisible and intangible, but they gathered in the air like dust, eventually outlining a translucent portal with irregular edges.
"Is this the last level to hide the secrets of the family? What is the secret that has been hidden by the Presbyterian Council for thousands of years and cannot be mentioned... It really makes people look forward to it." Anbis said to himself, and stepped through the door very decisively.
middle.
Behind him, the portal quietly dissipated. The tiny golden particles that made up the door flew all over the sky, and finally converged on the golden mask embedded in the wall.
A minute later, the last ray of golden light was completely swallowed up by the mask, and the stone hall once again fell into pure darkness.
It was just dark, but not as dead as it had been for thousands of years.
On the wall directly opposite the entrance of Anbisi, behind the door frame sealed by the fragile stone wall, there began to be heard more and more clearly, regular rumbling sounds that sounded every few seconds...
