Liu Xing quickly told Zhang Jingxu and others about his discovery.
Ding Kun squatted on the ground and looked at the bulge, then nodded and said: "Yes, this bulge should be a mechanism. It seems that there is something wrong with this statue."
"It seems that we need to trigger this mechanism, because Abe Seimei's diary when he was young is likely to be hidden behind this mechanism, but I just don't know if there will be a trap behind this mechanism. After all, those fanatical believers of the secret church are very
I like to play this trick." Zhang Jingxu stood next to the statue and said, "This statue is not leaning against the wall, so if nothing else happens, there should be a basement underneath the statue."
Upon hearing this, Yin En knelt down and knocked on the floor near the statue, and sure enough, it made a hollow sound.
Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, we should have thought that there would be a secret room in Heiming Shrine. After all, Heiming Shrine was originally used by the secret church to cover up people's eyes."
"Then I will trigger the switch. Liu Xing, please take a few steps back to avoid any accidents." Ding Kun put his hand on the mechanism and said.
Liu Xing and others quickly took two steps back and looked around with wary expressions.
Ten seconds later, nothing happened.
"Brother Ding, haven't you pressed the button yet?" Zhang Wenbing asked doubtfully.
Ding Kun smiled awkwardly and said, "I pressed it, but after all, this mechanism has not been used for hundreds of years, so it seems to have been damaged due to disrepair."
After Ding Kun finished speaking, he pressed the switch vigorously, but the switch did not move at all.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
"It seems that we can't hope to use the mechanism to open this basement, so we should just push the statue away." Ding Kun stood up and said.
Because this statue is close to other statues, Liu Xing and others can only choose to have one person push it from behind and another person to pull the statue from the side. However, the secret church also thought that someone would use violent means to
There was no possibility of cracking this mechanism, so they deliberately made this statue solid.
So Liu Xing and others tried twice, but the statue still stood still...
"This statue may weigh over a thousand kilograms. If we don't have tools on hand now, it will be difficult to move this statue, so why don't we go back first? I remember there seems to be a jack in the car." Yin En said a little discouraged.
.
Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't bother, Lotte is much easier to use than a jack."
If Yin En hadn't mentioned "tools", Liu Xing wouldn't have remembered that there was a "tool man" outside Heimei Shrine.
According to the usual routine of the Cthulhu Running Group game, since a statue of a god is set up in this place that ordinary people cannot push, then this module will definitely arrange a person or thing nearby that can break the game, otherwise the player will definitely get stuck in this place.
And Lotte is naturally the person who can break the situation.
"Yeah, why did I forget about Lotte?" Zhang Jingxu said, "Then I will go find Lotte to help."
Zhang Jingxu said and walked towards the outside of Heiming Shrine.
Although it was only a few steps away, Liu Xing was worried that the kp ghost would take this opportunity to release mythical creatures to attack Zhang Jingxu, so Liu Xing went forward and followed Zhang Jingxu to find Lotte.
At this time, the heavy rain outside Heimei Shrine had lightened up a bit, but it was still able to block Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu's sight, so Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu couldn't find Lotte who ran to hide from the rain for a while.
However, because Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu had already left Heiming Shrine, Zhang Jingxu immediately found KP Ghost to conduct an investigation and find Lotte.
As for Liu Xing, the Yistian Turner didn't know how to wash the skill points for the character card "Liu Xing", so "Liu Xing"'s original investigative skill with a value of 60 was directly erased...
Zhang Jingxu, 36/70, successful.
Fortunately, Zhang Jingxu's detection check was successful, so Liu Xing did not need to pass an inspiration check at this time.
"Here." Zhang Jingxu pointed to a big tree not far away and said: "That is the best rain shelter near Kuromei Shrine besides the buildings, and you can see all the roads leading to Kuromei Shrine there.
Road, so Lotte should be there."
As Zhang Jingxu expected, Lotte was indeed under that big tree.
Looking at Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu who were soaked by the heavy rain, Lotte said with some surprise: "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong at Heiming Shrine?"
Zhang Jingxu nodded and told Letian about the statue.
Lotte nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, as long as the weight of the statue does not exceed two thousand kilograms, then there will be no problem for me to push the statue."
As a result, Liu Xing and his wife took Lotte into the Heimei Shrine, and Lotte pushed the statue away as expected.
Just as Liu Xing and others had guessed before, there is indeed a basement under this statue.
Ding Kun took out the lighter and tried it, but it went out within two or three seconds.
"Sure enough, this basement has been sealed for hundreds of years, and the oxygen inside has long been insufficient, so we have to wait for the basement to be ventilated for a while before going in." Ding Kun thought for a while and continued: "By the way, Lotte, you are outside
Did you hear anything else when you were looking for the wind?"
Lotte shook his head and said: "I didn't hear any strange noise just now. It seems that those people from the public faction really don't know the specific location of Heiming Shrine. Otherwise, based on the route they took up the mountain, now they
We have already arrived at Kuromei Shrine."
Zhang Jingxu nodded and then asked: "So is it possible for them to come to Heiming Shrine from other routes?"
"That's impossible, because the Kuromei Shrine is located on a cliff, so there are only a few routes to the Kuromei Shrine, and they are all within my sight, so it is impossible for them to hide from my eyes and
Ears, after all, as a martial arts practitioner, I can see in all directions and listen in all directions." Letian said with a smile.
After listening to Lotte's words, Liu Xing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that those guys got lost in the heavy rain. They probably won't bother us for a while. But to be on the safe side, we'll wait for a while."
It is better to divide people into two teams - one team goes into the basement, and the other team is in the main hall to prepare for the response."
Zhang Jingxu nodded and continued: "I think so too. Brother Ding, you and Yin En will stay outside later. After all, you are both good with guns. If you encounter people from the public faction, you can also delay
One or two.”
"No problem." Yin En and Ding Kun said at the same time.
"As for Lotte, why don't you stay in the main hall first, because those people from the public faction must have guns in their hands, and it will be very dangerous if you conflict with them outside." Zhang Jingxu said seriously.
Lotte nodded and said, "I think so too. After all, as big as I am, I am a target in their eyes, and my master never taught me about iron shirts and golden bells."
After a few minutes, Ding Kun used a lighter to test the air quality in the basement again, then nodded and said: "Okay, Zhang Jingxu, you can go in now. If you hear gunshots inside later, remember to come out and help."
, as for you, remember to call us if you encounter a situation in the basement."
Zhang Jingxu nodded, and then walked into the basement at the lead.
Although there should be no living things in this basement that has been sealed for hundreds of years, and the mythical creature that may be a Shoggoth or the Invisible Son is not afraid of bullets, Liu Xing and the other two took out their pistols in order to seek comfort.
For self-defense, use the tactical flashlight on your pistol for lighting.
After taking a few steps, Liu Xing and others entered a semi-enclosed space the size of a standard football field.
Liu Xing took a pistol and looked around, and found that this should be the meeting place of the secret church, because there was a small round altar half a meter high in the center, and there seemed to be a magic circle carved on it, but this magic circle was also because
becomes blurry as time passes.
There are a large number of stone lampstands around this space, and some lampstands seem to have other items placed in them.
Liu Xing walked to the nearest lampstand, only to find that there were some papers inside the lampstand, with writing on it that Liu Xing could not understand.
Liu Xing took out a pair of leather gloves from his pocket and put them on, and then wanted to take out the papers.
The result may be that too much time has passed, or that the environment in the basement has changed dramatically after Liu Xing and others opened it, so when Liu Xing came into contact with the papers, they turned into fly ash.
At this time, Zhang Wenbing said: "The characters used on the papers in these lampstands should be ancient characters that have been lost. I have seen them several times in Chinese Taoist temples before, but I didn't pay so much attention at the time.
"
"Brother Zhang, why don't you take a photo and send it back to Huaxia Daomen to see if anyone knows the origin of these words?" Zhang Jingxu put forward his own suggestion.
Zhang Wenbing nodded first, then took out his phone and shook his head and said: "There is no phone signal here. It seems that we can only take two photos first and then make plans after we leave here. But I remember these words.
An early hieroglyph, so we should be able to guess some of the content."
Liu Xing walked to another lampstand, and then carefully looked at the text on the paper, and found that it should indeed be an early hieroglyphic, so Liu Xing could barely understand some of the sentences on the paper. After all, the early hieroglyphics were
One by one simple drawings.
"Is this the diary of those fanatical believers?" Liu Xing said, "This piece of paper seems to record a hunting activity."
"These papers may have been collected from other places by the fanatical believers who built the Heimei Shrine. Because they didn't know the meaning of these words, they mistakenly thought that the contents on these papers were not simple?" Zhang Jingxu guessed.
Zhang Wenbing, who was standing next to him, shook his head and said seriously: "I think there is something wrong with this, because these hieroglyphics should not appear on the paper. After all, the emergence of paper represents a level of civilization. It stands to reason that paper can be produced in batches.
The civilization of China should not stop at hieroglyphs, because the writing of early hieroglyphs was relatively complicated, and each character basically had only one meaning, and the key to each other was not too strong, so it will inevitably evolve with the development of civilization.
And be improved.”
Liu Xing frowned and felt that Zhang Wenbing was right. It was indeed unlikely that these words would appear on paper on such a large scale.
"Is it possible that these words were copied by fanatics from some stone carvings and murals?" Zhang Jingxu asked.
Zhang Wenbing shook his head and said with certainty: "Although there is such a possibility, the words on these papers have obvious sentence fragmentation, and the same words are almost exactly the same. This shows that the people who wrote the words have great understanding of this kind of words.
The characters are already very familiar. After all, when we first learn a new character, we have to spend a certain amount of time practicing to ensure that the same characters look similar."
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly noticed that a word on the paper looked very strange.
To put it simply, this character is an oval with six symmetrical tentacles growing in pairs.
Could this represent the mythical creature from Kuromei Shrine?
Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu and Zhang Wenbing about his discovery.
After Liu Xing and others looked at a few more papers in the lampstand, they determined that this character most likely represented a mythical creature with tentacles.
"It seems that the mythical creature in the Heiming Shrine is very likely to be the Invisible Son, because although the Shoggoth also likes to use tentacles to attack, under normal circumstances, the Shoggoth will not always maintain the tentacle state." Liu Xing
He said seriously, "In that case, those fanatical believers at Heimei Shrine should be the Satorgua of faith."
As Liu Xing spoke, he was thinking about a question in his mind, that is, how come he keeps encountering things related to Satogua during this period of time?
Could it be that he was being targeted by Satogua?
Liu Xing felt that the next time he saw the King in Yellow, it was necessary to ask the King in Yellow if he had the mark of Satogua on his body.
After determining that the mythical creature in Heiming Shrine was likely to be the Invisible Son, Liu Xing and others accelerated their search. After all, it was impossible for Liu Xing and others to deal with the Invisible Son based on their strength, and in this
When encountering the invisible son in a semi-enclosed space, Liu Xing and others must be prepared to tear up the cards.
Therefore, the idea of Liu Xing and the others is very simple, that is, to complete the search of this basement as soon as possible and then leave here as soon as possible.
However, in Liu Xing's opinion, Abe Keimei's notes when he was young are very likely to be here, because this is probably the most hidden and dangerous place in Kuromei Shrine.
