Chapter 1012 Spirit World Clock Tower

The spiritual world clock tower was lonely and lifeless, suspended in a dark nothingness, standing like a silent tombstone at the apex of Corpus space. When the strongholds of the demon hunters of the Order fell into the sea of ​​​​fire one after another on the front, The darkness in the distance lights up from time to time, representing the collapse of energy nodes. This strange tower is just silent in the darkness, as if the saints inside have no longer paid attention to what is happening on the front line.

It is a building that stands apart from the other ruins in Corpus - although it is certainly from the Founding Star, its twisted shape is at odds with the grace and splendor of the other temples. The Spirit World Clock Tower is like a bunch of blocks put together haphazardly. A lot of inexplicable geometric objects are piled up to form the shape of a tall tower. If it weren't suspended in this weird space, it would be hard to believe that such a building can stand normally. On the earth. Hao Ren was not only amazed by the scale and strange shape of the tower, but also attracted his attention by the strange state of its surface.

The clock tower in the spirit world is covered with large tracts of darkness - not ordinary shadows, but the purest black without any impurities. This pitch-black color is so deep that the naked eye cannot distinguish the details in the dark place, and can only see a dark outline like a paper-cut painting showing abrupt lines against the background of stars. These large swaths of pitch black covered almost two-thirds of the surface of the Spirit Realm Clock Tower, making this already weird tower look even more gloomy and terrifying.

When Hao Ren saw the black "matter" covering the clock tower in the spiritual world, he immediately felt an inexplicable chill coming from the bottom of his heart. His sixth sense instinct began to alarm frantically, causing him to subconsciously take a few steps back. He looked at the spiritual clock tower that had been completely eroded by the dark matter and almost turned into a thick ink silhouette. He didn't believe that this was the original appearance of the building: "Is this normal?"

Master Tutanin's reaction was almost the same as his, and the demon hunter also subconsciously took a few steps back: "What...what is going on?!"

"La Nina's previous report did not mention this phenomenon..." Yzaks's muscles tightened, and even he felt that the thing in front of him was a little dangerous, "... This is probably a change after the last attack started. .”

Hao Ren took out the data terminal from his pocket: "Test what this is."

The data terminal glowed lazily with blue light and scanned the black "matter" surface on the outer wall of the clock tower several times before flying back: "It is somewhat similar to the shadows of chaos encountered before, but a little different. It showed no movement and seemed to be stationary on the surface of the building.”

"Shadow of Chaos?" Hao Ren felt a little bit sour when he heard the name. He still remembered how much trouble this black shadow caused before - these black shadows separated from the original sin of divine blood are The culprit of the innate hostility between various heterogeneous races was also the culprit of the previous incident in the Ancatero Territory. Countless demon hunters and descendants of the Tana people died in that chaos.

But after the initial nervousness, Hao Ren immediately realized that the phenomenon similar to the shadow of chaos on the surface of the spiritual clock tower was completely reasonable: Corpus is the place where the goddess of creation fell!

The golden disk carrying the divine blood can become the carrier of original sin, and the ruins of the palace where the goddess fell may have undergone similar changes.

Relevant to the information Bai Huo brought before, the Thirteen Saints suddenly changed their temperament after Hassel returned from Ancatero and reported about the original sin of divine blood. Therefore, this time the demon hunter civil war The incident is probably a continuation of the original Shadow of Chaos incident!

The black shadows covering the surface of the tower in front of him seemed to confirm these associations. Hao Ren felt an uncomfortable cold illusion from the shadows, similar to the shadow of chaos, although the data terminal believed that these shadows were not related to the shadow of chaos. There are some differences between the shadows, but I'm afraid they really have the same "substance". Hao Ren remembered the "god-killing crime scene" that he and Vivian had found together before. The god's blood at that scene was missing. Could it be related to the changes in the clock tower in the spiritual world?

"Do we still want to go in?" Bai Huo pulled out his holy silver dagger, and the white holy flame burned on the blade. "My holy flame can resist the shadow."

Hao Ren looked up at the spiritual clock tower that was eerily silent in the darkness. He had imagined that everyone would face a fierce battle when they came to the tower, but he did not expect that everyone would be standing under the tower like now. The tower remained lifeless and silent, waiting for visitors quietly like the corpse of a monster in the shadows. No guards rushed out, and no defensive devices were activated. The battlefields elsewhere in Corpus were still burning. It seems like it has nothing to do with this place. Hao Ren suppressed his uneasiness. He believed in the data terminal's judgment: the shadow on the outer layer of the tower was not active. So he nodded vigorously: "We've all made it this far - everyone be vigilant, pay attention to mental attacks after entering, and if you feel any abnormal psychological fluctuations, call the police immediately!"

Under the leadership of Tutanin, everyone found the gate of the Spirit World Bell Tower. This gate was inlaid with huge dark red crystals and was tilted on the wall at a weird angle. One-third of the surface of the gate was Covered in dark shadows, exquisite patterns and symbols can still be seen on the uneroded surface - these are not any language symbols known in the world, but the words left by the goddess of creation.

The data terminal immediately scanned and archived these precious rune data. Tutanin sighed: "We have spent a long time deciphering the various runes in the Corpus ruins, hoping to master these powerful powers from the super civilization. In the end, only part of it could be deciphered, and the runes on this door cannot be deciphered to this day."

Lily stared at the door for a while: "On the left, it says the door opens inwards, and on the right, it says close the door."

Tutain and Bai Huo immediately looked at Lily dumbfounded. When Hao Ren saw this situation, he quickly pulled the husky girl aside: "Uh, don't listen to her, she often has brain twitches..."

Lily also protested: "Hey, don't pull me! Really, this is what is written on the door. Don't you also have a translator..."

"Shut up."

Hao Ren ignored Lily's protest, checked the status of the shield, then took a step forward and put his hand on the door that looked unusually heavy.

The door opened silently.

A soft sound of friction between crossbows came from behind. Dozens of master demon hunters instantly raised their crossbows and aimed them at the door. Hao Ren immediately lowered his body and took out his gun and pointed it forward. However, the expected enemy did not appear. .

Behind the door was an empty rotunda. The dim light of the candlesticks swayed in the depths of the rotunda, casting mottled shadows at the door. There were no demon hunters from the cult, and no traps or mechanisms could be seen. Just like an old castle that had been abandoned for hundreds of years, the spirit world clock tower was lifeless and motionless.

"There is no one..." Vivian threw a small bat into the hall, and whispered after a moment, "But there is the smell of blood... and the smell of living creatures, all on the upper floors. Please be vigilant."

Hao Ren held up his shield and walked into the spirit world clock tower first. Lily held up two claw blades and followed him closely, followed by Vivian and Yzaks and his daughter. Bai Huo and Tutanin came with a few Ten master witchers followed. After everyone entered the tower, Lily glanced back nervously: the surrounding atmosphere was weird, and she was afraid that something like a horror movie would happen. The door of the tower would automatically close after everyone entered.

The door was not closed, as if everything here had been left unattended.

Hao Ren looked around. This was a dark hall, with all the walls and floors lacking color. Faded murals and reliefs can still be seen on the walls of the curved rotunda. Although they are consistent with the relief styles of other temples, this lifeless tone makes people particularly uncomfortable. You can also see many wooden shelves scattered around the round hall. Those shelves should have been moved in by the witchers in the later period. There are weapons such as cross hammers and long swords on them, as well as some that have no apparent function. of ritual objects and decorations.

Like the entire hall, the items on the shelves lacked color.

"It's like a faded old photo..." Looking at the dim environment in front of her, Vivian couldn't help but mutter.

Lily blinked. She didn't have any reaction when she looked at the scene in front of her: "It's nothing...Is the thing fading seriously?"

Hao Ren glanced at her: "Can't you see?"

Lily nodded matter-of-factly: "I'm color blind."

Hao Ren: "..."

Tutanin looked around with a gloomy face, and waved to the elite demon hunters behind him: "Separately search first. Ivan, Kalud, you pay attention to the movement of the spiral staircase, and immediately alert you if there is any sign of trouble."

"There is a..." Vivian muttered, "an atmosphere that makes me quite uncomfortable."
