After entering the castle, the first feeling that He Ao felt was 'darkness'.
Because almost as soon as his footsteps crossed the door, all the light in the entire castle dimmed at this moment, and the surroundings fell into an abyss-like darkness.
He only had time to capture the scene for a moment, knowing that he seemed to be in an empty hall.
And in this silence and darkness, the visual field of view of the naked eye has almost completely disappeared.
He Ao took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight.
The faint bright light almost submerged into the darkness for a moment, and was completely swallowed up, unable to illuminate any surrounding environment.
It seems that ordinary lighting tools will not work.
He Ao turned off the flashlight and put the phone back into his pocket.
He glanced at his surroundings and slowly moved forward along the darkness like a blind man.
He vaguely remembered that in the direction opposite the door, there was a huge 'Y' shaped staircase leading to the second floor.
call--
There was a sound in the darkness like the sound of clothes cutting through the air.
"Trespassers! Kill!"
A soft shout came from He Ao's left side.
At this moment, He Ao pulled out the bone sword on his back, the sword's light disappeared into the darkness, and he suddenly slashed out to the right.
Close to C-level power.
Zhi——
The sound of blood splattering on the wall was superimposed with the final sound of the phrase "kill".
He Ao continued to move forward along the same pace.
The surrounding darkness became silent, like an assassin holding his breath, waiting for the opportunity.
Click——
When He Ao estimated that he had walked one-third of the distance in the hall, a broad blade stretched out from behind him and struck his back.
puff--
The white bone sword turned into a sword flower and stabbed backward, easily piercing the heart of the attacker behind him.
Then he swung the sword hilt forward, and the pierced corpse passed through the darkness, hit some kind of wall, and then rolled down.
Over there are stairs.
He Ao listened to the sound of the corpse rolling downwards, adjusted the direction slightly with the bone sword in hand, and continued to move forward.
Bright red blood drops flowed down the cracked white sword body.
The deep darkness fell silent again, and only the sound of He Ao's footsteps echoed quietly in the empty hall.
He Ao's pace was very fast, and he arrived at the staircase in his memory almost in an instant.
The surroundings were still covered by thick darkness. He could not see the steps of the stairs, nor could he see the specific condition of the stairs.
He took a step forward and seemed to kick something soft lying on the ground.
That seemed to be the body he had just thrown over.
At the moment when he was thinking, the 'corpse' lying on the ground suddenly rose up, and a flying knife was thrown at He Ao's neck.
boom--
The flying knife was instantly cut off by the snow-white bone sword, and then the bone sword submerged in the darkness went a step further, cutting off the body of the attacker in the darkness.
The person pretending to be a corpse turned into a real corpse, fell to the ground, and blood spread in the darkness.
He Ao raised his steps, crossed the corpse, stepped on the steps, and moved forward step by step.
His movements are neither fast nor slow.
Even though he couldn't see anything with his naked eyes, he still quickly grasped the height and width of the stairs and climbed up the stairs calmly and naturally.
But after walking for about a minute, he stopped and moved the tip of the sword forward, level by level.
The stairs ahead seemed to have no end. He had walked for so long and still had not reached the platform where the stairs turned.
He raised his head and looked around.
The darkness in the sky seems to be 'shallower' than the darkness beneath my feet.
After a brief thought, he jumped up, quickly passed through the darkness, and landed on a 'wide' ground.
Then he suddenly raised his sword, turned around, and slashed backwards.
The two people who came from behind him were cut off by him and fell to the ground.
He Ao stepped on the ground, and now he seemed to be in a wide area.
There is some kind of abnormality in the stairs. You can't go up by walking directly. You can only jump up from the air.
The changing stairs in the darkness completely obscured his height awareness, making it impossible for him to calculate where he was now.
He stretched out the bone sword, picked up the corpse behind him, and quickly threw it to the right.
The corpse crossed the void and seemed to hit the wall, making a banging sound, but it did not roll down.
Are there no stairs around?
Did you just jump directly over the stairs and jump to the second floor?
While thinking, He Ao turned around and headed in the direction where the body had just been thrown.
The halls on the first and second floors of this castle are connected, so the hall appears extremely high.
He didn't see the specific scene on the second floor in that sudden glance just now. He only remembered that above the stairs were the railings surrounding the corridor on the second floor.
These corridors should connect the various rooms of this castle-shaped building.
He Ao looked up at the surrounding darkness. In this silent darkness, there seemed to be some strange lines entwined.
He had a hunch in his heart that the direction with the most entangled lines was the direction leading to the core of the castle.
He moved forward quickly, and soon he arrived at what looked like a corner of the corridor.
There are solid stone walls on the left and right sides, and there is also a stone wall in front. Only there seems to be an opening on the side.
Bang-bang-bang-
And just when He Ao was about to turn, crisp footsteps came from the end of the corner.
He Ao retracted his body and leaned back behind the corner, quietly waiting for the footsteps to approach.
The owner of the footsteps seemed to have noticed something, and slowly slowed down his pace, approaching this direction.
A faint and cold light suddenly emerged from the other side of the corner, illuminating the corner that He Ao had not seen clearly.
The source of the light carefully turned around the corner, and at that moment, a white dart popped forward, and at the same time, the pure white bone sword turned into light and emerged.
The sharp sword blade finally stopped in front of that delicate cheek.
What caught He Ao's eyes was a girl with wheatish to dark skin, wearing a gold agate headdress, a simple black short gauze skirt, and a golden leg ring on her right thigh.
"Which department?"
When the girl saw the white bone sword, she was first surprised, then she was happy and shouted.
"Kawina, why are you here?"
He Ao frowned slightly and retracted the bone sword.
Messy memories emerged in his mind.
Kavina is a foreign member of the institute that he brought to the Republic of Ika from Jordan, Class C.
He, Como, Kavina, and three others investigated Sett's manor. He made a phone call and entered the castle with the help of the power of ghost stories. Como and Kavina should still be in the main world at this moment.
"I have no idea,"
Kavina also looked a little confused, "After you disappeared, I just felt a breeze blowing by, and then I was here."
"Where's Como? He came in too?"
He Ao put away his bone sword and asked quickly.
"I didn't see him, and I was looking for him too."
Kavina raised the green lantern on her hand that emitted a slight cold light and answered quickly.
"Your lamp?"
He Ao lowered his head and looked at her lantern.
This lantern continuously emits a faint green light, illuminating the surrounding area.
"This is my extraordinary item, He Bu,"
Kavina looked at He Ao doubtfully, "Don't you remember?"
"Um."
He Ao searched for memories, and it seemed that there were indeed memories about Kavina and the green lantern.
These fragmented memories made him feel vaguely uncomfortable, but he couldn't notice any discomfort at the moment.
"What's the matter, He Bu?"
Kavina leaned over and looked at He Ao doubtfully.
"fine,"
He Ao shook his head and spoke slowly, "Let's go in the direction you came from. Walk in front and I'll take care of you."
"good."
Kavina nodded with a smile.
Cold green light emitted from the lantern in her hand, illuminating her skin and smile.
She turned around and walked in the direction she came from under He Ao's guidance.
He Ao rubbed his eyebrows, stared at the girl's back, and followed her slowly.
There is no problem with Super Memory, there is no problem with Hidden Mage, and all the extraordinary items seem to be there.
Everything seems normal, but something seems to have been forgotten.
He glanced at the surrounding darkness, staring at the strange yet familiar twisted lines in the darkness, raised his hand, "Turn left."
Kaweina followed He Ao's instructions and turned to the left, entering the corridor on the left.
A long and narrow spiral staircase appeared in their field of vision.
Kavina was in front, He Ao was behind, and they walked up the stairs.
"Have you just been attacked in the dark?"
In this silent corridor with only the sound of footsteps, He Ao suddenly asked.
"No,"
Kavina shook her head, "I was in the corridor as soon as I came in, and then I met you. Is there anyone else in this castle?"
"There are some attackers lurking in the dark,"
He Ao glanced at the darkness outside the lantern, then withdrew his gaze and continued, "Pay attention to the darkness."
"OK."
Kavina nodded and continued going up with He Ao.
I don't know if it was because of the illumination of the lantern, but this spiral staircase did not seem to have the 'never-ending' nature of the staircase He Ao had just walked in the dark. The two of them quickly reached the end of the staircase.
The strong smell of blood hit my face with a cold and damp feeling.
"It's so humid here, it's like underground."
Kavina raised the lantern in her hand and looked around.
A series of dungeon-like wooden pillars appeared in their field of vision.
"Maybe this is the underground,"
He Ao glanced at the wet wooden pillars around him and said, "The space here is not necessarily continuous, and walking up does not necessarily lead to the upstairs."
Bang bang bang——
"You rats hiding in the dark!!! I'll kill you!!!"
At this moment, there seemed to be a violent fighting sound not far ahead.
"Go over and have a look."
He Ao raised the bone sword and his figure instantly rushed forward.
Kavina held the lantern tightly and followed He Ao.
And as the light of the lantern illuminated, a figure covered in blood appeared in front of He Ao.
"Mr. Ho!"
When the figure saw He Ao approaching, his eyes instantly lit up with joy.
He is none other than Como.
With the help of the light of the lantern, He Ao finally saw clearly the appearance of the 'people' who had just attacked him in the darkness.
These people's entire bodies were shrouded in black hoods and cloaks, their bodies were thin, and they were attacking Como without fear of death.
He Ao raised the bone sword and instantly pushed a figure away.
The figure hit the wall, spit out a mouthful of blood after a soft bang, and fell to the ground.
Seeing He Ao joining the battle, other figures who were originally besieging Como quickly shifted their targets to He Ao.
The white sword light flashed across like a stream of light, killing most of the figures easily.
When there was only the last figure left, He Ao no longer used the sword, but raised his hand, grabbed the last person's neck, and reached out to lift his hood.
A skinny body that seemed to have only bones appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
"Who are you? Where is your boss?"
He Ao activated his super memory, put the mark on him, and asked quickly without any pause.
"Trespassers...kill..."
The skinny figure opened his mouth, and then his whole body began to decay as quickly as quicksand, leaving only a speckled skeleton.
This person's mind has completely collapsed and he no longer has his own thoughts.
These figures are just puppets manipulated by others.
He Ao turned to look at the body on the ground.
Those corpses that were still bleeding just now quickly decayed into skeletons under the green light.
He Ao threw the bones in his hands on the ground and said quickly, "Take a look inside the dungeon."
"good."
Kavina raised the lantern and shined it into the dungeon.
He Ao withdrew his gaze from the edge of the wall and looked inside the dungeon.
At the end of this darkness, people lying down were crowded on the blood-covered ground like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Their eyes were wide open, but their eyes were dull. They were lying crowded together and seemed to have lost the ability to think.
"These are the workers who built the estate,"
Como came over, looked at the people in the dungeon, and said with some surprise, "They should be dismissed."
"There should be more than just workers here."
He Ao walked forward, and Kavina followed his steps with a lantern, illuminating the surrounding dungeon.
People crowded in the dungeon appeared in the three people's field of vision.
These people wore a variety of clothes, some from the Republic of Ika and some from neighboring countries, but most of them looked like Westerners.
"So many missing people,"
Cuomo was a little confused, "We actually have no news at all."
"If we resolve the matter in this castle, we can naturally save them."
He Ao patted Como on the shoulder and continued to move forward.
These people seem to have been disturbed by some supernatural power. Now that they open the dungeon door, they have no ability or consciousness to escape from here.
Como also realized that what He Ao said was right. He withdrew his gaze, endured the pain of the wound, and quickly followed behind He Ao.
Soon, everyone left the dungeon, passed through a deep corridor, and arrived in front of a closed stone door.
A thin and hunched figure was standing directly in front of the stone door. Two burning torches were inserted on both sides of the corridor, illuminating the space around the old man.
Kavina, who was walking at the front, stopped and stared at the rickety figure in front of her, her eyes lowered.
"Young friend,"
And the rickety figure also slowly spoke, and the deep and hoarse voice echoed in the huge corridor,
"The fact that you can find this place so quickly is enough to prove your strength.
"But you don't know what kind of powerful existence you are facing. I'm afraid you have never seen the great power of an angel.
"Your self-righteous wisdom and strength are small and humble in front of the great angel.
"Human beings are so ignorant and arrogant that they think they can hinder the coming of the great angel through their ridiculously weak power.
"But all this is nothing more than a mantis trying to trick a cart."
He raised his head and stared at He Ao,
"Young friend, your wisdom and strength are enough to gain a place in the glorious new world, so why are you so persistent in serving the decadent old world organization and serving those stubborn old antiques.
"We should not block the arrival of glory, but should welcome it and create a new world that belongs to us.
"Join us, and the great new world will also have your seat, and you will have a brighter future than you have now, otherwise,"
He raised a rotten wooden stick under his hood, "No matter how much courage your strength gives you, you will see how small you are, and you will be destroyed by the anger of angels."
"The new world you talk about is killing, sacrificing, and constantly kidnapping living people?"
Como on the side couldn't help but speak.
"Before the new world comes,"
The ricket figure spoke calmly, "The old world must be destroyed first. Only a small number of qualified people can survive in the new world."
"You butchers."
Como was furious for a moment and his face turned red.
"The blood is necessary."
The rickety figure said with a ferocious smile, "You are all people who should be destroyed."
Como's face turned even redder, but for a while he couldn't find anything to say back.
"So, has that 'angel' you talked about arrived?"
He Ao next to him looked at the rickety figure in front of him, shrugged and asked softly.
"Of course, he's coming soon!"
The rickety figure paused and immediately replied, "The angel's arrival is unstoppable, and the great glory will come soon."
"In other words, he hasn't arrived yet,"
He Ao looked at the rickety figure calmly, "You talk about something that doesn't exist as if it has already happened."
Then he didn't wait for the ricket figure to reply, and looked at the ricket figure with a smile, "That angel of yours has not come for so long, and even took back the Blood Sun. Could it be that he is... afraid?"
The ricket figure's expression was stagnant.
"I don't know what you mean about the old world and the new world,"
He Ao pointed his sword to the ground, his eyes as calm as water, "Your angel is not the first to come, and there is a high probability that he will not be the last to come.
"We, 'rotten old antiques,' will make warm preparations for guests coming from afar.
"Friends are coming, and we welcome them. Enemies are coming, and we have our swords ready."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the rickety figure, "And if you want to sacrifice someone to achieve the 'new world' you call it, why not start with you?"
Como looked up at He Ao.
He seemed to finally understand that this minister would be so popular.
"A sharp-tongued young man,"
The ricket figure said in a cold tone, "You will pay the price for your stupidity."
