Chapter 141 The ignored link
“You’re all here, the big sacrifice.”
Lynch smiled self-deprecatingly at Miss Valente. In fact, he knew very well that the two of them were People have no choice.
Although both Maya's description and the real experience in her dream prove that the temple is the most important place for Mordiggian's sacrifice, there is no doubt about it. But he was still a little uneasy, there was always a feeling that these invisible sons were trying to force him into the temple.
So he did not give up the struggle completely. He tested it several times along the way, trying to escape in other directions or even with his back to the light pillar. He even went around to the opposite side of the temple and tried to get away from the temple from the other side.
This was a very dangerous behavior for the two of them, but Miss Valente said nothing. Instead, she willingly followed him crazy, shuttling between the large groups of invisible children.
However, the final result proved that the two of them were forced to the square outside the temple, both looking disgraced and embarrassed.
There are Invisible Sons hiding everywhere in the city, and the closer they are to the light pillar, the fewer they are. I don’t know whether it is because the Invisible Sons are afraid of the power of the temple, or they do it intentionally.
Bless my neighbors, it must not be the latter, otherwise it will be even more troublesome.
"As you reminded me, I also feel like I am being driven here by an invisible child."
The slow outsider cannot understand the sense of humor of the traveler. Miss Valente twisted the folding fan vigorously and looked back. In the direction of time, there are still countless invisible children squirming and writhing in the darkness, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
“I suddenly have a guess about the sacrifices made over the past few thousand years.”
"Huh?"
"Perhaps we are repeating the experience of the sacrifices." Lynch whispered, "Think about it, with the characteristics of the Invisible Son, no matter what room the sacrifices are hidden in after they come in, They can get in and scare the sacrifices out. Once the sacrifices come out in the dark, they will definitely be attracted by the only light source in the city and move towards the temple. And if there are people who are not attracted by the green light, the invisible sons will also. Like now, they were surrounded and driven from multiple angles, forcing the sacrifices to enter the temple, and finally they were eaten by Mordiggian."
"So that was not an illusion, they really might have done it on purpose. Driving us into the temple?" Miss Valente nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed possible, but this is more in line with our goal, aren't we planning to meet that damn evil god? ”
"Yes, so we have to break into the temple, but this temple is really..."
It's hard to say.
Looking from a distance, it was a stone temple with a spire. A green light beam shot straight up from the center of the temple and disappeared into the darkness above the head.
The faint green light beating in the light pillar was like a large ball of beating green flames, allowing the two of them to barely see the surrounding scenery. The light was dark, cold, and strange, exuding a heart-stopping fear. Just one look can plunge people into endless despair and fear.
The dark light pillar did not have heat, but was bone-chillingly cold. The nearby ground and temple were covered with a thick layer of ice. Under the illumination of the light pillar, the same strange green light danced.
The only thing that Lynch is thankful for is that there are not those terrifying ice sculptures in the square, or there are not many of them. The square is also inevitably filled with those ubiquitous statues in the city, and they are covered with thick layers of ice, but they are not like the ice sculptures in the dream that can actually be attacked.
The door of the temple was open as in a dream, and the dark green mist was thick inside and outside the door. It spread outside the door from time to time, but quickly withdrew again, just like a living thing.
"It's not a good sign, Mr. Leviv." Lynch was looking up and down at the temple, and Miss Valente's faint voice came from behind, "In mysticism, solid green often represents plants. and safety are good signs, but green light and fog are just the opposite, representing disease and poison. This is not a rule set by anyone, but more like a rule that does not depend on personal will. "
"So this place is actually poisonous?" Lynch frowned, "But I have been in Maya's dream, so there is no problem." "Her dream is just a memory after all, and it is not the same as the real Zul'Glashar. There is still a big difference. Don't worry, Mr. Leviv, this is just the information interference caused by the mysterious will of a high position in the world. It is not an attack from the evil god, and it will not be very powerful, and it will not be able to harm a person. A soul shifter who specializes in pharmacology. Here, you can change a pair of nasal plugs, which can protect us for the time being. If you have any questions later."
Why does this girl seem to be a different person when she mentions mysticism and medicine? It seems that this noble lady does not rely solely on her status, but also has a lot of real things. I still underestimated her before. Lin Qi took the nasal plug and put it on with admiration, and stretched out his hand to protect Miss Valente behind him.
It's a pity that Officer Natalie is not here, otherwise he would be able to protect her. She is so reliable.
Thinking to himself, Lin Qi made a move to keep up with me, and cautiously got into the door regardless of the invisible children chasing after me in the distance.
It became increasingly quiet inside, not even the sound of air flowing. The putrid smell of the corpse could not block his nose, and it made Lin Qi's eyes uncomfortable.
The green light seemed to be everywhere, illuminating everything in the corridor. Even Lynch and Miss Valente's faces turned green. The visual effect was extremely weird, and the two couldn't help but do it. They made a swallowing motion, and they were close together one after the other.
Well, I'm definitely not afraid, I'm doing it to better protect the lady.
【Pfft. 】
I knew you were peeping, forget it, it’s up to you.
Lynch took a deep breath to relieve his tension and made sure that the invisible son behind him was not chasing after him. Then he held up his cane and slowed down. Miss Valente followed Lynch closely, with the folding fan facing her side, and she was highly alert to the surrounding environment.
Just like what the female reporter Maya saw in her dream, this is a long corridor. The difference is that there are also several frozen stone statues standing in the corridor. Different from the ones outside, the stone statues here wear robes common to clergy. I don’t know how the sculptor could distinguish them so clearly.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are still engraved with complex murals. They have been buried deep underground for thousands of years, but the murals have remained fresh for a long time. It can be seen clearly that it is the ancient Zul'Glassar who came to the The story of Mordiggian's corpse sacrifice.
In the strange green color, the walls were covered with twisted scenes. Miss Valente clutched the corner of Lynch's clothes tightly. She wanted to see the mural but didn't dare to look at it, so she had to stick her head out from behind Lynch to peek at this strange scene. story. Before taking a few steps, Lynch's steps suddenly stopped and he froze in place, causing Valente to bump directly into him. Then he rubbed his head with a confused look on his face.
Lin Qi ignored the apology and immediately explained in a low voice: "We seem to have missed an important issue."
"Huh?"
"Look at these murals, the corpse is brought into the temple, processed and put on the altar, and then Mordiggian will come out to enjoy it." Lynch said with a gloomy face and lowered his voice, "We all ignored it, Mordiggian Dikian is the king of corpse-eating ghosts. The sacrifices on the murals are all corpses, and he will not eat living people." Lynch sighed, wiped the sweat from his hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "So, if. The annual sacrifice really comes by itself, which means there is still a step hidden here.”
Miss Valente’s expression was also a little stiff: “Turn us into corpses?”
"Yes."
Lin Qi looked at everything around him with a wry smile, feeling like a light on his back.
It’s too late, it’s too late
