Chapter 893 A Familiar Scenery

Like most other alien shelters, the territory of the Ancatero family is hidden in strange space cracks, and is camouflaged and deflected using mysterious technology. As the most mysterious branch of all alien families, Ancatero The Territory is even more secretive than Shadow Sanctuary, and the way to open it is only in the hands of a few ancient families like Wayne. After the incident a month ago, the Ancatero Secret Realm was completely sealed by the people inside, and ordinary opening methods were also ineffective. Wayne Walter had to prepare some special things to help open this door, and In order to open this door, they have to go to a special place: underground.

Wayne Walter has come to this small town at the foot of the mountain to visit the Ancatello family more than once, and he is well aware of the various hidden routes here. Under the leadership of the vampire clan leader, Hao Ren and the others got into the underground waterways of the town.

This seemingly inconspicuous town has surprisingly underground waterways. The wide sewers connect the underground parts of the town like a maze. And such a small town obviously does not need drainage facilities of this scale, so the size of the sewers is Some areas are closed or semi-dry. Hao Ren followed Wayne and Hesperius, walking in a wide tunnel that looked like a subway passage. He saw that the surrounding areas were circular pipes supported by permanent concrete and large steel inner shells. Dim lights are embedded on both sides. In the center of the sewer is a waterway that has almost dried up. On the guardrails on both sides of the waterway, dark green moss has seriously eroded the steel and cement structures. Judging from the surrounding lights, people here are often maintained, and the builders of this place must be humans, but why would a small town like this build a sewer of this scale?

"This place used to be a battlefield many years ago, a military location during World War II," Wayne explained casually after hearing Hao Ren's question. His voice echoed in the wide pipes of the sewer and sounded very loud. "These underground facilities were originally tunnels and warehouses, so they were extremely strong. After the war, the locals did not abandon these facilities, but instead reinforced them and rebuilt them as sewers."

Lily wrinkled her nose and followed Hao Ren. Because these sewers have complete ventilation facilities and only a few of them are used, they don't actually smell much. But as a canine, Lily is still a little allergic to the smell here: "I didn't expect to have to dig into the sewer... Why did the Ancatero family choose the entrance in a place like this? How did they get in and out before this town was built?"

"Of course there are other entrances and exits, but I chose the safest one this time." Wayne nodded lightly. "This entrance to the underground waterway was settled only a few decades ago. The entrance to the Ancatero Secret Realm It corresponds to the position of the stars in the sky, so it changes every once in a while, and each time there are four channels connected to the outside world. In this star cycle, there happens to be one channel corresponding to the human town. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Lily sighed, feeling that this was quite magical: the entrance to the secret realm that constantly changes with the position of the stars, this really sounds like a fairy tale. Next to him, Hao Ren had an inexplicable question: "Although it sounds quite safe, what if the star turns and the door of the house coincides with the septic tank?"

Wayne was walking in front of him quite gracefully, but Hao Ren's words almost made him fall into the ditch on the roadside: "Why do you have such dirty thoughts?!"

Hao Ren scratched his face: "My way of thinking is quite normal, right? Has no one ever thought of it this way?"

Wayne was speechless, but Hesperus spoke up: "Hao Ren, if you meet the Battanian Witch Spirit family in West Africa in the future, you must not talk to them about this topic."

"ah?"

"The exit of their family's secret realm also changes with the movement of the stars. It is really connected to the septic tank..."

This time it was everyone's turn to be speechless, until Elizabeth folded her arms and sighed like a little adult: "So this kind of lost and out-of-control ancient technology is the most unreliable. I thought about safety at the beginning, but now Future generations don’t even know how to control direction, so they are blind!”

"Ahem, it's not completely uncontrollable," Wayne explained with a weird look on his face, even a little incoherently. "Selecting a rough connection range can fix the door opening position at a relatively stable location, or calibrate the astrological chart...calculate Now, let’s not talk about this, okay?”

"Then let's talk about the witcher?" Vivian blinked, "Wayne, you investigated early. What do you think of the witcher's disappearance here a month ago?"

Wayne pondered slightly: "To be honest, for me, I can't even believe a single punctuation mark in what the demon hunter said, but if what the demon hunter named White Fire said is true, it can be true to the information I have. Roughly corresponding. A considerable number of witcher groups did appear here a month ago. The number was enough to make the werewolf warriors of the Hogwarf family flee, so it should not be the same as the few witchers currently responsible for investigating here. The same batch. And according to the fragmentary report of the crazy investigator, he did mention that there were witchers and so on in the Ancatero territory."

Hao Ren hummed and didn't say anything else.

This dark and cramped underground waterway was really not a good place to discuss matters, and everyone in the team soon lost interest in discussing issues. They followed Wayne in silence, bypassing pipe connections and finally entered a place that looked abandoned for many years. There is no underground flow at all in this section of the passage, and the only light comes from a fork dozens of meters away.

Wayne finally led everyone to stop in front of a mottled and dirty cement wall: the entrance was here.

"The detective from the spiritual world would never be able to find the Golden Manor in his lifetime," Hao Ren couldn't help but muttered after seeing the entrance. "The entrance is actually in a place like this. It has nothing to do with sunlight."

Wayne smiled: "The scene on the other side of this door will surprise you even more."

As he spoke, he took out something delicate from his small suitcase.

It was a weird thing like an old camera, but the structure was obviously different. It has a square main body wrapped in black leather. At the front end of this "square box" is a hemispherical lens, while at the rear end of the "box" you can see a series of lenses and crystals. This prop makes people I can’t help but think of the unreliable “psychic machines” built by those occult scholars more than a hundred years ago, those supernatural cameras assembled with glass, crystal, and copper ore in an attempt to capture ghosts. It also reminded Hao Ren of the psychic lens set in Pierre's hand. But the device in Wayne's hand is obviously different from those half-baked knockoffs. This device is inlaid with sparkling runes, and each of its lenses and crystals are not connected with any fixed objects, but rely on magic to levitate. In their respective places. When Wayne pointed the device at the wall in front of him, all the lenses glowed slightly.

The light from the lens group gradually increases, and the front end of the device emits light like a slide. Like a projection, these lights gradually outline a series of complex lines on the cement wall. The image slowly changed, and Hao Ren finally saw that it was the shape of a door.

And the most amazing thing is: the door was indeed a simple image at first, but as the device in Wayne's hand kept making creaking sounds, the feeling of those images gradually changed. Hao Ren didn't know He missed a step, but by the time he realized this, the image on the wall had turned into a real door.

A door made of metal and inlaid with a large number of golden runes.

Wayne turned off the device, carefully put it into his suitcase, and stepped forward to open the door: "Let's go, this door can only last ten minutes. If everything goes well, we can set it up through the Ancatello family A fixed passage to return to the world here."

Lily let out a long "Oh," and then pushed Hao Ren and ran into the door.

A burst of moist and warm breath hit his face. Hao Ren clearly felt that he had passed through a barrier like a water curtain. He walked out of a door that stood in the air and found that he was already standing in a strange place. .

The boundless thick fog of chaos shrouded the surroundings. No sun, moon or stars could be seen in this space. The light of unknown origin shone down from above the thick fog, preventing the world from becoming completely dark. Hao Ren widened his eyes and tried to distinguish the surrounding scenery in the thick fog. He finally saw the scene of the Golden Manor: Although blocked by the heavy fog, he still saw a series of splendid buildings dimly appearing in the field of vision. This building is indeed as Pierre described, almost entirely made of pure gold, and even if it is shrouded in thick fog, its splendor is not diminished.

However, what shocked Hao Ren and his party after seeing these buildings was something else.

"Tanagus?!"
