Chapter 24: Underground Church

In the manager's office.

Xu Nian held a newly appeared badge in his hand, and looked at Manager Yan who was knocked unconscious by his punch, with a very ugly face.

Maybe his appearance just now scared this guy, and before he had time to use force, the other party confessed everything.

In the other party's words, he was just a small figure, only responsible for sending people with badges into the underground church through the secret passage in the office. As for the rest, he didn't know.

Then there was this Xiaomei, he didn't know what was going on.

He just sent Xiaomei to see the priest by chance. After Xiaomei came back, she became obedient to him and did whatever he asked her to do. On weekdays, he let her work as his personal secretary part-time.

Xu Nian didn't know if the other party had concealed anything, but through the other party's guidance, he did find a secret room behind the bookcase.

It was just a pity that the other party said that the metal door of the secret room was opened from the inside, and he had no way.

Xu Nian didn't believe it, and checked carefully, but after searching for a long time, he didn't find any traces of keyholes or mechanisms.

To be honest, he didn't know when the so-called initiation ceremony would start, but it was true that before he came, those believers had been sent in one by one by Manager Yan, that bastard.

The other party shouldn't lie to him about this.

In the other party's words, there was no point in him lying to him, because he couldn't open the door from the outside anyway.

After thinking about it, he called Zuo Qiuyue.

"Xu Nian, what's wrong? I'm still controlling the inspectors to find the entrance?"

Zuo Qiuyue's somewhat hurried voice sounded on the phone.

Xu Nian frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't look for it, I've found the entrance."

"What!?"

The voice in the microphone suddenly increased by several decibels.

Xu Nian subconsciously moved the phone away from his ear, and then quickly and simply told the story.

"So, you mean that all the new believers have entered the underground church through the secret passage in the office?"

Zuo Qiuyue seemed to take a breath in the microphone.

"Yes, so you should quickly ask the hospital to send someone to control the entire hall, and then find a professional to open the door. I have a bad feeling that these believers may be in danger."

Since being attacked by zombies twice in a row, Xu Nian has always had a question in his mind.

What happened to these people who turned into zombies?

And the badges of these zombies after evaporation.

If he heard correctly just now, those new believers were identified and sent in by Manager Yan based on their badges.

So, only those who hold badges are believers, and every zombie has a badge.

That is to say

Xu Nian seemed to understand something, and said in horror: "Qiu Yue, hurry up, the priest is going to turn all these believers into zombies."

Zuo Qiuyue on the other end of the phone was controlling the inspectors to check each tombstone in a corner. Suddenly, she heard Xu Nian's scream and her body trembled violently.

The next moment, her face changed drastically, and she said hurriedly: "Wait."

As she said that, she hung up the phone, quickly dialed a number, and said anxiously: "Team leader, Xu Nian said that the priest wanted to turn those believers into zombies."

After Xu Nian hung up the phone, his face became even uglier.

He didn't know when the people in the courtyard would come, but he knew that time was running out. If he didn't go in to stop the priest, he was afraid that everyone who went in would become zombies.

He thought he was not a good person, but he would never let go of a devil like this who turned a group of innocent people into zombies.

For a moment, the rattle seemed to feel his anger, and it flashed a faint black light again, and this time the black light spot did not condense into a black long sword, but fell on him like a black firefly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, his whole body was covered by black illusory light spots. At first glance, he seemed to have turned into an illusory black shadow in an instant.

"What's going on?"

Xu Nian looked at his blurred body in shock, and with a thought in his mind, he walked straight to the door of the secret room.

The expected headbutt did not occur, and Xu Nian passed through the secret room door directly like a shadow, and appeared in a narrow tunnel.

The tunnel was very dark, but from the candles lit on the ground at the door, it can be seen that the steps of this tunnel lead to the underground, but it is not known how deep it is.

Xu Nian looked back at the door of the secret room. This time he saw the bronze keyhole. Unfortunately, he did not have the key, so he naturally gave up the idea of ​​opening the door from the inside.

"Forget it, I don't care about Zuo Qiuyue and the others for now, saving people is important."

At this moment, Xu Nian didn't care about any tests and commissions. When he thought that so many innocent people were going to be turned into zombies that were worse than death, he no longer had the mind to delay, and walked carefully down the steps.

Of course, because the front was too dark, he also picked up a candle on the ground for lighting.

Xu Nian was not afraid of the dark, nor of silence, so he did not feel any discomfort walking in this silent tunnel.

On the contrary, he seemed to have returned to the days when he was locked in the laboratory by his father-in-law in the orphanage when he was a child. Those days were truly lonely and desperate.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from below, and Xu Nian instinctively stopped and shone the candle in his hand, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

It turned out that the steps that were supposed to appear right in front of his feet were gone, and instead there was a bottomless black hole.

Looking at his left side, there was a narrow path that could only be walked in sideways. If he hadn't been alert, he would not have noticed the path at all, and would have stepped into the black hole.

"Damn guy, so insidious."

Xu Nian could guess with his butt that this insidious path must have been designed by the priest, so after cursing in a low voice, he held a candle in one hand and walked sideways into the path on the left.

Fortunately, this time the road was not long. Not long after, he walked out of the path and appeared in a relatively wide church.

It is called a church because the layout here is no different from the church on the ground. The only difference is that there are no crosses, angel statues, etc. that should have appeared here. There is only a stone sculpture of a demon that is exactly the same as the pattern on the badge.

The same person standing with his hands raised and bare upper body, the same two feet growing together, and the same three-eyed demon at the connection between the two feet.

But this time, the lifelike stone sculpture brought him an inexplicable evil atmosphere.

Especially the three eyes of the demon. Just a glance at it made Xu Nian's heart beat faster and he felt dazed.

"What a terrible demon!"

Xu Nian knew that he had found the right place.

Especially when he saw the densely packed black-robed people crawling motionless under the stone sculpture, and the blond man in black priest robes standing at the front of the crowd under the stone sculpture, he was extremely nervous.
