At this time, everyone in the field stared at the only hut next to the cemetery. Unfortunately, the hut was completely unrecognizable, with only a few remnants left. In the center, there was a dark hole that had been expanded three times.
"The breath of hell." The first person to speak was the demon hunter Deto. Although he was most familiar with various urban monsters and supernatural beings, and was not familiar with such hellish creatures that he would not have the chance to encounter for several years, he
After rummaging through his memory to find the corresponding information, Deto's face became indescribably solemn.
"Hell? Deto, are you sure it is hell?" Robert said with a headache.
"It is indeed hell!" A dejected voice came in, and everyone looked around, and it turned out to be the middle-aged man from the Church of Steam and Steel who was carrying a backpack as tall as one person. He was holding what looked like a mechanical compass in his hand.
device.
"The breath-discriminating pointer of the Church of Steam and Steel." Shotgun Buddy curled his lips and said, but there was a hint of envy in his tone that was imperceptible.
"Qi-discriminating pointer?" Quins, who came into contact with the church for the first time, asked curiously.
"A device that can effectively identify various scents can only be used within the Church of Steam and Steel." Shotgun further explained.
"Whether it is the breath of hell or not, you will know if you go in and take a look." At this time, Robert spoke, and after finishing his words, he walked towards the entrance of the cave first.
Since Robert didn't express anything, Deto and others naturally didn't say much and followed Robert and others into the cave entrance.
After entering the cave entrance, the passage was not long, but it was at least ten yards deep. After actually walking through the passage, everyone was shocked. What they saw was that they were full of corpses. The surrounding walls were made of hands and feet. The top floor was
There are skulls on the ground. Walking into them is like walking into a person's body.
The location is five piles of five internal organs, heart, liver, kidney, spleen, lungs. The five piles of internal organs are raised high to form five hills. A small circular ditch connects the five piles of hills. From the dried blood
It is not difficult to see on the spots that the small circular grooves are filled with rich blood.
What's more important is that at this time, the five piles of internal organs turned into dry, charred meat as if they had been burned by a fire.
Everyone who saw this scene felt a chill rising from their spines. Quins, who was walking among the crowd, even though he had been trained as an assassin, he couldn't stand it at this time.
, after all, no matter how much he kills people, he is still just a novice assassin. Nausea, dizziness, and nausea came to his mind almost at the same time.
A bottle of burgundy secret medicine was handed to Quins, "Drink him." It was the sound of a shotgun.
Quins covered his mouth and glanced at the shotgun. Without asking any questions, he took the secret medicine and drank it in one gulp. Suddenly, a fishy smell surged to the tip of his tongue, and there was a burning pain in his stomach. Then, Quins felt that from now on
A cold feeling rose up in his stomach and went straight to his forehead, washing away all the discomfort, and then formed a cold protective shield, covering all Quins' senses.
Looking again, Quins found that he was unmoved by everything in front of him, as if he had become a robot.
"What secret medicine is this?" Quins asked curiously.
"How about the level 2 condensation secret medicine that can keep you in an absolutely cold state for ten minutes? It's worth the money." Shotgun patted Quins on the shoulder.
Quins nodded and mentally added the Condensation Secret Medicine to the list of must-select secret medicines. Whether it is for future redemption or future study of secret medicine, it is not to be missed.
At this time, Robert and others were already looking around the five piles of organs.
"This looks like a sacrificial ceremony," said the experienced Deto.
Robert nodded in agreement: "Looking at shapes is a very ancient ritual, at least not after the Fifth Age."
"The essence of the corpse was extracted in an instant, causing the corpse to burn." A middle-aged man wearing mechanical windproof glasses squatted on the ground and watched carefully. From time to time, the sound of mechanical linkage came from the pair of windproof glasses: "Moreover, this drawing
The runes of the ritual array are not the current hell runes, but a hell rune that is even older than now, more like... the prototype of the hell runes, the Baka calendar runes."
"Baka calendar runes, this is the rune system that appeared at the end of the Third Age of Gods." The member of the Night Court who hid his body in his cloak said solemnly.
Deto: "It turns out that hell was just formed in the third era and separated from the spiritual world. If this is the case, then there is a problem with the pointing of this ancient ritual array."
Robert continued: "The beacon of the ritual array points to hell itself. This was no problem in the third era, but now, the most likely possibility is that the sacrifices were intercepted by some beings in hell, causing various problems.
This has an unknown consequence, and it can be inferred from this that the person offering sacrifices should have accidentally obtained some kind of ritual formation from the Third Age, and made sacrifices rashly without any foundation."
"No, I agree with what Director Robert said before, but I hold a negative opinion when it comes to making sacrifices rashly," the middle-aged man with cold wind glasses said: "If this ritual formation is really the ritual formation of the third era, then here,
It should be the Tomb of the Inferi."
"The Tomb of the Inferi? What is this?" Shotgun, who was standing at the end, finally couldn't help but ask.
Most of the people cast their eyes on the shotgun and did not speak, because this was also the doubt in some people's minds.
Another person from the Court of Night who had spoken before suddenly spoke: "In the third era, the Tomb of the Inferi was a preparatory work done by many people who offered sacrifices to hell. It allowed the corpses required for sacrifices to be kept for a long time.
activation state, and lock the corpse energy in the Tomb of the Inferi. Even though there are so many corpses here, most of them may have been stored twenty or thirty years ago."
Hiss! "It takes twenty or thirty years to keep the body fresh. Why have I never heard of such a powerful pre-ceremony array?" Shotgun's entire brain is about to be broken.
The man before glanced at the shotgun and explained: "Because the Tomb of the Inferi has a very big flaw, which is the number of corpses."
"The number of corpses?" Everyone couldn't help but look around, and a cold air could not help but come out from the bottom of their hearts. They subconsciously ignored a question when they came in before. There are at least more than 10,000 corpses building the Infernal Tomb here. Based on the information in today's society
, even if a hundred people suddenly disappeared, it would attract the attention of major churches and mysterious forces, let alone ten thousand people. Therefore, ritual formations such as the Tomb of the Infernal Nest inevitably began to be ignored, until the end
of lost.
"That tombkeeper," Robert said, "data show that the tombkeeper named Bob Lester has been working as a tombkeeper for 37 years. He is really patient."
"The May Riots." Kingsley Williams, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed mockingly: "Obviously, the sudden emergence of a large number of corpses finally allowed the tombkeeper to gather the number of corpses needed for the sacrifice. Ha, how ironic
.”
Everyone is obviously aware of the irony. The May riots, launched in order to remove the obstacle of the Investigation Department, turned out to be the trigger for the curtain to rise. There is nothing more ironic than this.
Everyone's words to each other basically restored the entire process of Bob Lester's sacrifice.
Robert: "Obviously, this ambitious and patient tombkeeper succeeded, but also failed. The guy who intercepted the sacrifices was not only satisfied with this, but came here from the other side of hell, and now
The question is, what kind of hellish creature is that guy and where is he now?"
At this point in the discussion, there was nothing more to say. Because the hell creature had cleaned the scene so cleanly, everyone could only come up with these answers.
After walking out of the Tomb of the Inferi, the Demon Hunters, the Court of Night, the Church of Steam and Steel left one after another, while Robert and others stayed to deal with the aftermath. Kingsley Williams led the two-man association to report to Chief Bennett Ko
Ke went to report, and Quins and Shotgun were among them. Of course, the two of them did not go to report. It was purely because they could not help, so they were directly sent by Robert to report to old Schmidt.
After returning to the branch in silence, Shotgun Buddy told Old Schmidt in detail what happened in the Tomb of the Inferi. Old Schmidt pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to Quins and asked: "Quinn
, what do you think of Robert’s two questions?”
Quins didn't expect Old Schmidt to ask him, but on the way back, he had already thought about the question clearly, so he replied without hesitation: "It is a humanoid, highly intelligent hell creature, even if it is not humanoid,
In human form, it also has the ability to transform into or disguise itself as a human being, so this hellish creature must have blended into Tigue City."
Shotgun was surprised: "Are you so sure?"
Quines: "Judging from the traces of cleaning the scene and its ability to intercept the sacrificial beacon, the highly intelligent hell creature is certain. As for the humanoid shape or the ability to disguise and transform, I am not sure, but if this hell creature cannot blend in
Tigue City will be discovered sooner or later, in other words Robert's questions and my answers will become meaningless."
Old Schmidt knocked on the pipe in his hand and said: "Your logic is very clear. You cannot hide your own hellish creatures, just like a torch in the wilderness. No matter how huge the fire is, it will only end in destruction in the end, which is meaningless.
, so your answer has meaning."
"What's meaningless? You two have confused me." Shotgun was a little impatient: "That means that guy has already sneaked into Tigue. Schmidt, the Church of Steam and Steel
You are very strange to the people in Night Court, who are they?"
Old Schmidt: "The man from the Church of Steam and Steel is easy to identify. Archibald Adams, the mechanical traveler, practices the secret mechanical craze, a 5-ring powerhouse. He is usually active in the New Macedonian Empire. I didn't expect to come.
Here. As for the two people in the Night Court, your description is too vague and there is no way to judge."
"Mechanical craze, I really envy those in the Church of Steam and Steel." Shotgun tutted, his mechanical program had been practiced to the extreme.
Quins said: "You can also join the church."
Shotgun snorted: "I don't want to serve those gods who are praying for whoever wants to go."
Quinn was immediately impressed by Shotgun. You have to know that people in this world, even if they don't really identify with gods, will pretend to believe in a god as a protective color in society, but Shotgun simply rejected all gods, which is quite materialistic.
.
Old Schmidt glared at Shotgun: "I've told you so many times, even if you don't believe it, don't show it."
Shotgun pouted, knowing that Old Schmidt was doing it for his own good, so he didn't say anything.
