A+ A- Turn Off Light

  Once through the doorway and into the subterranean area, there was no more glimmer of natural light in front of Klein and Alger; the top of the place was quite intact and lacked breaks for the scarlet moonlight that penetrated the fog to shine through.

  Alger then raised the marquee in his hand a bit, tinting the spacious but unseen end of the tunnel ahead with a distinctly dim yellow.

  At a glance, Klein spotted at least six stone statues, both male and female, all gray and white, even their clothes seemed to be carved.

  Within these stone statues were elves, giants, and humans with a style that was on the ancient side, all of which bore no resemblance to each other except for their expressions, which were frozen in pain and despair.

  Being looked at by them with such eyes that did not rotate, and then associating them with the fact that they could have been living beings at one time, Klein got a chill down his back, feeling that deep in the tunnel, where darkness ruled, it seemed as if a horrifying monster was opening its mouth, waiting for the two of them to voluntarily walk into its belly.

  Collecting their fluctuating emotions, Klein and Alger spoke to no one in particular, moving forward step by step as they passed between a gray stone statue with a twisted face.

  After walking for more than ten seconds, because of the light of the horse lamp, Kline did not need to use the night vision ability of the “ghost” Seignior to see the walls on both sides of a tattered, dull frescoes.

  There were a few relatively intact paintings, so that one could tell what they depicted, and their main body was undoubtedly the huge cross covered in layers of light and the majestic figure standing in front of the cross.

  This blurred yet solemn figure is either facing the flood that has submerged the city-state and drowned the mountainside, or stepping on the earth that has split into pieces, or looking up at the starry sky above, and staring into the deep darkness with one eye after another that is so evil and crazy as to be extreme.

  The image of the ancient sun god saving the world at the end of time? This is similar to the frescoes they found in the temple of the “Real Creator”. …… Or maybe it’s a case of you copying me, me copying you, and no one ever giving up on leaning towards this. Efforts, anyway, to emphasize that he was once the savior, is the most worthy of belief in the deity …… Klein’s eyes on the wall quickly moving, itself slowly into the depths of the tunnel.

  Alger was also observing the crumbling murals, when suddenly, he pressed his voice and spoke in a low voice:

  ”I suspect that the ‘real’, ‘Fallen Creator’s’ description of itself has reference to these.”

  Sure enough, everyone was in agreement …… Klein let the “Deathstroke” revolver hang down diagonally and smiled:

  ”I wouldn’t be surprised to see something related to the ‘Real Creator’ up ahead.”

  ”It is likely that there is some connection between k and the one Creator that Silver City believes in.” Alger agreed with Germaine Sparrow’s judgment.

  The two of them continued onward, trying hard to lighten their footsteps, but there were still slight echoes around them and swung away into the distance in the extreme silence.

  It was then that Klein, in a flash of inspiration, instantly took two steps forward and stepped in front of Alger, blotting out most of the horse-light glow.

  Less than two seconds later, he heard a dull thud coming from far away.

  Thud! Dang! Thud!

  The ground trembled slightly, becoming more and more pronounced, and then Klein saw a nearly four-meter tall figure come out in front of him.

  It was also grayish-white in color, with armor-like patterns carved on its body surface, goat-like horns on its head, and a mouth that resembled a hound dog, revealing fangs between half-open and half-closed.

  What attracted people’s attention the most was the pair of eyes that burned with red light and the six pairs of grayish-white laminated wings.

  Dang! Dang! Dang!

  Holding a seven to eight meter stone halberd, the creature slowly entered the tunnel, and with each step it took, it made the earth shake, sending heavy sensations in all directions.

  Klein recognized what it was with a single glance even though he hadn’t seen it in the flesh before.

  It was a six-winged stone goblin!

  Its core crystal was one of the main materials of the Secret Puppet Master, and the extraordinary abilities it possessed were bound to be extremely specific and difficult to defend against!

  And judging from its exterior size and construction materials, it must also have a strong ability to fight head on and not be afraid of most injuries …… It only needs to take a single sliding step to crash into it and slam its heavy stone halberd to create terrifying injuries …… Klein stretched his left hand for a moment and didn’t rush to give a reaction.

  He and Alger stayed in place at the same time, one with his body and the other with his clothing, shading the light of the horse lamp very faintly.

  Thud! Dang! Knock!

  The six-winged gargoyle did not look to where the two were, and crossed the tunnel, its footsteps gradually becoming farther and farther away.

  Sure enough, its senses are not strong …… No wonder when Zylingus was able to go deep into the ground and return smoothly …… Klein waited until the sound of the footsteps was no longer difficult to detect before he moved forward again and crossed that crossroads.

  In fact, with his current strength and equipment, with his understanding of the target, to kill a six-winged gargoyle is not too dangerous thing, and there is also the “inverted man” can provide help, the reason why he gave up the intention to attack, is that he does not know how many six-winged gargoyles in the underground area, once the fight, if the movement is large, may be surrounded. In that case, he could only rely on “traveling” to forcefully escape, and if he alarmed the nearby transcendental creatures who dared not approach this ruin, the trouble would grow exponentially.

  Controlling one’s greed is one of the prerequisites for adventurous exploration.

  Algernon was pleased that the crazy adventurer was so calm and sensible, and suspected that the other party had some orders from Mr. “Fool”, which was why he had restrained his impulse to attack the six-winged gargoyles.

  The calmer he acts, the more crazy he will be when he encounters the real target …… Alger’s thoughts flashed, and he followed Germaine Sparrow through the intersection and walked straight ahead.

  The murals on both sides were still tattered and still intermittently told of the greatness and holiness of that ancient sun god.

  Finally, Klein and Alger reached the end of the tunnel, where there was a folio of seven or eight meter-high stone doors painted with various symbols related to death, to rest, to end, to new life, and to beginnings.

  ”A tomb?” Klein turned his head to Alger.

  Alger nodded and said:

  ”Or it could be a temple.”

  Obviously, he was also suspecting that the temple here was unified with the tomb.

  The gray stone door in front of the two men wasn’t completely closed, there was a gap exposed that could be passed like a child’s, Alger glanced at his frame and took the initiative to walk over to it, put down the lamp in his hand, inserted the short blade, and pressed his hands to the side of the door.

  He drew in a slow breath and bent his knees down, his arm muscles swelling steeply.

  Wordlessly, the gap became much wider.

  When Klein saw this scene, he slightly raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised, because the “inverted man” pushed the door without making a sound.

  He didn’t doubt the power of an “ocean singer”, but he didn’t think that the folio of stone doors had no contact with the ground.

  As he looked down, Kraven saw a thicker liquid in the crack at the bottom of the door.

  quietly lubrication effect …… “upside down man” Mr. work is very meticulous ah …… this is the “navigator” ability, or “sea singer” ability Or is it the Sea Singer’s? Well, he should have also used the ability of the “Wind Favors” to create an “air cushion”, so the “opening of the door” just now was silent… …Kraven roughly understood the reason.

  He leaned in close to the stone door, not rushing in, and looked at the scene inside through the spacious gap.

  The area that caught the eye of the “Grieving Soul” was the side area, where a row of grayish-white sarcophagi were placed.

  Sure enough, it’s an underground burial hall. ……It’s unknown if there’s a temple of the Blended God. ……Klein thought to himself while pulling out “Lemano’s Travel Notes” with his left hand. It has an extraordinary ability to deal with things related to the realm of death.

  At the same time, he used the silver dagger to quickly create a spiritual wall, blocking the iron cigarette box, so that the Aztec copper whistle inside will not make the resting dead rise up one by one.

  Alger redrew the short blade as well, covering his left palm over his side and sliding it forward.

  There was a slight crackling sound as the short blade wrapped around the flailing silver and white electric snake.

  The two men quickly made the appropriate preparations, and Klein, playing the role of the mad adventurer Germaine Sparrow, was the first to pass through the doorway and enter the burial chamber.

  Of course, before he went in, “Grievous Spirit” Seignior had already made a small half-circle inside the burial hall as a “sentry”.

  For the “master of secret puppets”, with secret puppets, there is no need to take risks in many things!

  This burial hall is permeated with water in the high places, and seems to be very humid, the interior is divided into two parts, each of which has twelve grayish-white dark sarcophagi, and in the center there is an empty circular area, corresponding to the ground seems to exist a beautiful and complex picture.

  Klein did not approach, and raised his hand to stop Alger, then maneuvered the “Spirit of Grudge” Seignior to reveal his form, quickly floating to the mid-air of the circular area.

  ”Blood on top of the general”…… Alger’s face muscles suddenly twitched.

  Although he had already guessed this, when he saw it with his own eyes, it was still difficult to control his subconscious reaction.

  At that moment, Seniol lowered his altitude and saw clearly what was depicted on the ground in the central area:

  The picture was dark in color, with a blurry figure in the background and a long table in the main body.

  On the long table lay a figure carrying a glorious cross, surrounded by three shrouded figures.

  One of them was handsome and energetic, one was majestic and bold, and one had a white beard and appeared to be wise, but all three pairs of eyes were filled with an unspeakable sense of evil, and behaved in the same way:

  One of them ripped off the figure’s arm and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it full of blood, one cupped the head and sucked the brain matter, and one dug out the still-beating heart and gnawed on it hungrily.

  Opposite them, between the figure’s chest and abdomen, the fissure was long and wide, and sitting on its back was an eerie, dark baby that was chewing on a piece of intestine, blood dripping down.

  These four seemed to have sensed that someone was prying, and their gazes looked upwards at the same time, as if they were watching every living being who saw the scroll!
