Chapter 320: Bring pain to this foolish world

Chapter 320 brings pain to this ignorant world

The inside of the Buddha statue was hollowed out as expected.

Bai Xiaoyi's spirit body penetrated the stone wall and entered the bust of the Buddha statue.

After advancing about ten meters inside the stone wall, Irin's "eyes" suddenly became clear.

In front of Bai Xiaoyi, there is a passage leading to nowhere.

The passage is very crudely excavated, like a hole dug with an excavator, which can only accommodate one person to pass through.

On the wall of the passage, a wire was pulled from nowhere and extended all the way to the depths.

Above the passage, an old energy-saving LED light bulb hangs from time to time, providing a limited light source.

Irin noticed that there were many exhaust windows around the passage, and there were shadows of fans rotating inside.

"Although the facilities here look old, considering the difficulty of excavation, it should not be completed in a short time. It seems that this place should be one of the secret strongholds of the Dawn Cult, at least for several years."

Yi Rin and Bai Xiaoyi have the same mind, let Bai Xiao follow the passage and float to the depths.

But after drifting out about 30 meters away, Yi Rin already felt a tingling pain from the center of his eyebrows.

Obviously, this distance is already the limit he can carry.

Yi Rin reluctantly took Bai Xiaoyi back.

Inside the Buddha statue, it was transformed into a fortress.

The people of the Dawning religion should be hiding there.

If there is no accident, the missing persons in Litai City for the past three months should also be there.

Bai Xiaoyi floated beside Yi Rin with a curious expression.

After all, he hadn't come out to breathe for so long, and after this bubbling, he saw that something happened to the owner again, which... quite excited Ling.

! What an ordinary life without passion!

"By the way, Master, I seem to have heard some strange noises."

When Yi Rin was thinking about the next steps, Bai Xiaoyi suddenly said.

"Huh? What sound? Did you hear what it was?"

What Yi Rin and Bai Xiaoyi really share is only the "vision", and they can't fully share the five senses, so Bai Xiaoyi may be able to hear the strange chanting sounds better than Yi Rin outside the bust of the Buddha statue. more real.

"There seems to be a lot, a lot, a lot of people in there."

Bai Xiaoyi tried her best to open her hand, trying to vividly describe the appearance of "a lot".

"They seem to be shouting some slogans, as if..."

Bai Xiaoyi seriously recalled the strange voice that echoed inside the Buddha statue. She lowered her voice and whispered:

"They're demons... we're servants... um... what wake up, pain... dawn and stuff like that."

Bai Xiaoyi's educational level is limited, so he can only think a little bit clearly.

"Embrace the dawn?"

Yi Rin remembered the slogan that Sheng Chunrou repeated over and over.

"Hmmmm, that seems to be the sentence! Master, you are really amazing!"

Bai Xiaoyi is very witty, and he made a low-key flattery by the way.

Irin frowned, her expression solemn.

Bai Xiaoyi could only hear the few words that could not provide much information.

Devil?

Servant of God?

Who does "they" refer to?

Wake up? pain?

Irin suddenly had a bad feeling.

He felt this was getting weirder.

There is a feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

ah no...

Irin wiped the rain off her face.

It is indeed raining now.

Irin recalled the AVI she watched at Sheng Chunrou's house.

is the short video that Sheng Chunrou made in an abnormal state of mind.

"She knew that there was something wrong with the Dawning Sect, Sheng Chunrou, but she still plunged into it."

"She thought at first that, as her apostle, she wouldn't fall for it here."

"I guess she didn't know enough about reality, she was careless, and finally got herself in."

"It seems that she did it for that 'painting', but what exactly is that 'painting'? Could it be a prop left by the apostle? Or an enchanted weapon? Otherwise, Sheng Chunrou, as an apostle, would not Take that risk for that 'painting'."

"By the way, she once said something in the video..."

"They're running out of time."

"Why is time running out?"

"That's why, someone in the Shuguang Sect, knowing that we are investigating this matter, still takes the risk and continues to kidnap humans from Litai City?"

Just as Irin was thinking.

"Go!"

"Keep up!"

In the distance, a few shouts could be heard faintly.

Yi Rin moved in his heart and quickly put Bai Xiaoyi away.

Like a shadow, he hid in the shadow at the feet of the Buddha, motionless.

After a few minutes.

In the darkness, several flashlights appeared.

With the appearance of the lights, several figures in raincoats walked towards this side quickly.

"It turned out to be those six people?"

Irin's eyes narrowed.

Never thought of it.

He actually arrived at the foot of Maitreya Buddha, one step ahead of the other six.

Is it because his physical strength is better?

Irin quickly found a reason.

Sure enough, people’s constitutions can’t be generalized.

When Yi Rin was climbing in the dark in the mountains, he was worried that he was too far behind, and he didn't take a moment to rest along the way.

Irin thought, and in the darkness, silently turned on [Follow the Shadow].

In this environment, the effect of [Follow the Shadow] is brought to the extreme.

Unless the opponent's flashlight just stuck on Irin's face.

Otherwise, even if he accidentally walks in front of Irin, he may not be able to perceive Irin's existence.

Kaka Kaka.

After the six people arrived at the foot of Maitreya Buddha, they did not stop and walked directly to one of the "toes".

Although it was called a "toe", that toe was much taller than Irin's height, equivalent to a flat stone wall.

I saw one of the leaders, a man in his thirties with strong bones, fiddling around on the stone wall. In the darkness, Irin could only hear the sound of a stone grinding.

From the point of view of Irin hiding, I just couldn't see what the man did, which was a pity.

is nothing more than an entrance.

Irin didn't bubble up immediately and stopped those people.

It doesn't make sense.

It is very likely that these people are just the little minions of the Dawning Sect, unable to access deeper secrets.

After a few minutes, the light of the flashlight disappeared, and the movements of those few people completely disappeared from the front of Maitreya Buddha.

Irin came out of the shadows after confirming that the people had entered the bust of the Buddha.

"It should be here."

Irin went to the position of the toe they were facing the wall just now.

Sure enough, in a very secret depression, there is a compass engraved with words.

The compass is about the size of a palm. From the inside to the outside, there are 9 layers in total, and each layer is engraved with many characters.

"A, B, C, D..."

"one two three four…"

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire..."

"Huh? An ancient institution?"

But Yi Rin thought about it, maybe it is this ancient mechanism that can stop any outsider's prying eyes.

No matter how high-end password locks are, or fingerprint, iris, and face verification, as long as it is a program, there will be loopholes.

As we all know, the AI programs that are popularized in the real world today are all pseudo-artificial intelligences. They are not really artificial intelligences that can think and evolve on their own. There is a possibility of being hacked.

Like Oral, he once threatened that there is no program in this world that he cannot crack.

Of course, he was cheating, and it cannot be measured by pure technology.

On the contrary, it is this ancient combination lock, which makes people unable to do anything.

It doesn't help that Oral is here.

Irin smiled: "But I don't need to open the lock at all."

While muttering to himself, Irin searched the neighborhood earnestly.

After a while.

Irin found the gap.

This entrance seems to have cut the stone wall with some kind of equipment, and after the mechanism is made, it is put back in the same place.

If you hadn’t witnessed the six people entering the bust of the Buddha from this position, at a cursory glance, you might mistakenly think that this circle of gaps is the texture of the Buddha statue itself.

"Shadow Kill."

Irin's body suddenly twisted and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After activating the skill, Yilin turned into a flexible shadow, going up, down, down, left, right, left, right, and everywhere. As long as it is a terrain that can leave a shadow, theoretically, there is no dead end for Yilin. .

The shadow that Irin transformed into after he activated his skill instantly slipped into the gap and disappeared.

After the gap, it turned out to be a passage.

On both sides of the passage, the same as what Yi Rin saw in "Bai Xiaoyi's Vision", there are simple LED lights hanging on the passage, which are not too dark.

Irin didn't cancel the skill. After all, after entering the "shadow state", he could completely burn the consumption of 3 psionic points per second.

Inside the Buddha statue, the route of the passage is not very complicated.

A few simple forks leading to several areas.

Irin quickly explored the inside of the bust in the "shadow state".

In one of the areas, there are caves that can only accommodate one person on both sides of the passage. The caves are closed with thick iron grids. This is the prison.

Irin moved quickly inside the Buddha statue.

Passed by the canteen...the dormitory...the leisure area...

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Yilin would have had a hard time believing that the relic of the Maitreya Buddha with a big belly was developed into such a small fortress with all the internal organs.

After a while.

The sound of chanting echoing inside the Buddha statue became clearer.

Irin originally followed this strange sound, crawling forward.

is getting clearer.

The voice of countless people whispering together, like babbling, like prayer, and like singing.

Inexplicable words with unknown meaning, under the chanting without any emotion, combined with the gloomy environment around them, bring people a kind of creepy horror.

In the shadows, Irin was shocked.

He moved fast.

After a while.

Irin's eyes suddenly lit up.

It is a spacious space.

If you guessed correctly, it should be in the "belly" of Maitreya Buddha.

tick tock tick tock—

Above the head, there are water droplets from time to time, seeping and dripping from the stone cracks in the ceiling... It is raining outside.

Irin glanced at the remaining psionic power on the apostle's panel, quickly changed back to the "human" appearance, and curled up in the shadows.

in the hall.

Empty eyes, thin, ragged "people", crawling on the ground.

And now.
