Chapter 141 The Neglected Link

"Here you come, the great sacrificer."

Lynch smiled self-deprecatingly at Miss Valente. In fact, he knew very well that the two of them had 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 hidden everywhere in the city, and the closer they are to the pillar of light, the fewer they are. I don’t know if it’s because the Invisible Sons are afraid of the power of the temple, or if they do it intentionally.

Bless your neighbors, it must not be the latter, otherwise it will be even more troublesome.

"As you reminded me, I also feel like I'm being driven here by an invisible son."

The slow aliens could not understand the sense of humor of the travelers. Miss Valente twisted the folding fan vigorously and looked back in the direction she came from. There were still countless invisible children writhing and writhing in the darkness, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"I suddenly had a guess about the sacrifices made over the past few thousand years."

"Um?"

"Perhaps we are repeating the experience of the sacrifices." Lynch whispered, "Think about it, with the characteristics of the invisible sons, no matter what room the sacrifices are hidden in after they come in, they can get in and scare the sacrifices. Come 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 really people who are not attracted by the green light, the invisible sons will surround and drive them away from them like they are now. He had to enter the temple with the sacrifice, and was finally eaten by Mordiggian. "

"So that's not an illusion. Is it really possible that they drove us into the temple on purpose?" Miss Valente nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed possible, but this would be more in line with our goal, right?" , 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 describe in one word.

From a distance, it was a stone temple with a spire. A green beam of light shot straight up from the center of the temple and disappeared into the darkness above.

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 any heat, but was instead bone-chilling. The nearby ground and temple were covered with a thick layer of ice, and under the light of the light pillar, they also pulsed with a strange green light.

The only thing Lynch was thankful for was that there weren't those scary ice sculptures in the square, or there weren't 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 the temple, and Miss Valente's faint voice came from behind, "In mysticism, solid green often represents plants and safety, which is a good sign. , but the green light and fog are just the opposite, representing disease and poison. This is not determined by anyone, but more like a rule that is not subject to personal will. "

"So this place is actually poisonous?" Lynch frowned, "But I went in Maya's dream, so there's no problem."

"After all, her dream is just a memory, and it is still very different from the real Zul'Glassar. Don't worry, Mr. Leviv, this is just the information interference caused by the mysterious will of a high official on the present world. It is not an attack from the evil god. It won't be very powerful, and it won't be able to harm a spirit shifter who specializes in medicine. Here, you can change a pair of nasal plugs, which can protect us for the time being. If there are any problems later, we will talk about it. "

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, with not even the sound of air flowing. The putrid smell of corpses could not block his nose, and it made Lynch'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 so weird that they couldn't help but make a swallowing motion. One after another, close together.

Well, I'm definitely not afraid, I'm doing it to better protect the lady.

[Pfft. 】

I just know you're 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, but 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 was the ancient Zul'Glashar who offered sacrifices to Mordiggian. The story of the corpse.

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. s 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.

Lynch ignored the apology and immediately explained in a low voice: "We seem to have missed an important issue."

"Um?"

"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.

Too late Too late
