Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

My friend disappeared? Lumian, holding a white candle in his hand, looked at the young man running over and moved his eyebrows slightly.

In the catacombs, disappearing is normal. What is abnormal is how can this guy still remember so many friends and remember that they disappeared mysteriously?

He is not a tomb keeper, nor does he have an angel sealed on him!

Once things show signs of abnormality, there must be a problem!

"Stop!" Lumian pulled out the revolver with his free right hand and aimed at the young man with black hair and brown eyes and a pale face.

In the swaying candlelight, the young man shook his head crazily and said: "Help! Help me!"

"They've all disappeared!"

He only slowed down slightly, but did not stop.

boom!

Lumian directly pulled the trigger of the revolver, letting the yellow bullet rub the young man's body and fly into the distance, disappearing into the darkness that could not be illuminated by candlelight.

The young man felt Lumian's will to shoot to stop him, and finally stopped, showing a pleading expression: "Help me! Help me!" First website

Lumian saw that "Hela" beside him had remained quiet and had no intention of communicating, so he had no choice but to ask: "What exactly happened?"

While speaking, he used the yellowish candlelight in the hands of the three people to take in the environment at the entrance to the third floor of the catacombs.

Unlike the previous two floors where Bai Sensen's bones were piled up around the tomb and on both sides of the road, there was a small square without any corpses.

The square is paved with mottled gray stones, and there is no moss or dirt in the gaps. It is so clean that it feels incredible.

In the middle of it stood two gray-white pillars made of huge rocks, one on the left and one on the right. The surface was severely weathered, leaving traces of peeling off one after another.

But even so, Lumian, who has excellent eyesight, can still distinguish the "Sacred Emblem of the Sun" and the "Sacred Triangle" engraved on the two giant pillars. Surrounding them are symbols such as sunflowers, crankshafts, and connecting rods.

Around the square, where candlelight cannot illuminate, there is a dense darkness, as if there are countless figures standing there, casting glances that make Lumian's skin stand out with dense pimples.

The young man with black hair and brown eyes and a pale face replied with a look of fear:

"I don't know. We were about to walk out of this square dedicated to the Eternal Sun and the God of Steam and Machinery, and explore the ancient tomb on the third floor. They suddenly tripped over something, and fell down one after another, even with the candles in their hands. They all fell to the ground and were extinguished.

"I, I was walking at the back, and I saw them disappear like that!"

"Disappeared?" Lumian asked deliberately.

For him, the most critical question is not how he disappeared, but why the witnesses still remember the disappearance.

"Yes, disappear!" The young man nodded heavily, "They seemed to evaporate in front of me at an extremely fast speed. I, I was very scared. I didn't dare to look for them or return to the ground. I could only stay here. Waiting in the sacrificial square, praising the sun, before my candle is almost burned out, someone finally comes!"

It can be seen that if you were not affected by the strangeness this time and could escape smoothly, your belief in the "Eternal Blazing Sun" would definitely be much more pious... Lumian could not tell whether the other party was abnormal at the moment, so he had to mention it casually. asked a question: "Are you college students?"

The young man nodded again:

"Yes, we are students from the Normal University of Trier, and we are here for adventure as a team. My name is Gérard."

Lumian couldn't help laughing, and even wanted to invite this guy to join him and "Hela" in searching for the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman". Anyway, there is a high probability that this kind of student will not survive to graduate, so it is better to stay. Act as bait for fishing and use the remaining heat.

When he was thinking about how to determine whether there was anything wrong with Gérard, "Hela" suddenly spoke with a cold voice: "We will send you up."

So kind? Lumian looked sideways at "Hela" in surprise.

In his impression, this lady might even have cold blood.

Gérard was so grateful that tears and snot ran down his face, and he kept saying "thank you" while approaching the two of them.

Lumian observed his every move, took out a white candle from his canvas satchel, and threw it over.

Gérard hurriedly caught it and lit a new candle with only a short section of the old candle left.

After seeing another dim candlelight emerge, the college student breathed a sigh of relief and followed "Hela" and Lumian onto the stone stairs leading to the second floor.

After walking up less than ten steps, Gérard was suddenly startled.

Lumian looked over and found that all the remaining panic on his face had disappeared.

"Is it okay for you to return to the ground by yourself?" "Hela" spoke again, but she said completely different words from before.

Gérard laughed: "No problem, thank you for the candles. Hey, losing the spare candles is troublesome."

Uh... Lumian felt reassured and asked tentatively:

"Did you venture to the third level of the tomb alone?"

Gérard nodded proudly: "Of course, I have enough courage and experience."

I finally forgot about those classmates... I didn't forget before because they were in the Sacrifice Square? Ms. "Hela" saw this and suggested sending him away? Lumian nodded with understanding.

After watching Gérard go up the steps and leave through the "Old Ossuary Entrance", Lumian and "Hela" returned to the Sacrifice Square.

This time, when Lumian looked at the two sacrificial pillars belonging to the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and the "God of Steam and Machinery" respectively, his feelings about them were completely different.

That may represent the protection of the gods!

But even though they symbolize the gaze and blessing of the gods, the two stone pillars inevitably showed signs of weathering and corrosion after spending a long time in the depths of the catacombs.

Lumian, with the mentality of being more protective and more sure, giving it a try without losing anything, faced the sacrificial pillar with the "Holy Emblem of the Sun" engraved on it, raised his body slightly, and opened his arms: " Praise the sun!”

"Hela" watched quietly without interrupting his prayer.

After Lumian finished his brief praise, the two of them used the black line above their heads and the street signs on the edge of the square to walk towards the "Crimson Night Pillar" in the north.

Lumian, who was holding a white candle, had just taken a few steps away from the sacrificial square when suddenly his heart moved and he turned his gaze to his feet.

A skeleton piled beside the road, covered with dark green mold, fell down at some point, its hand bones lying across the road, as if trying to grab the ankles of pedestrians.

If Lumian had walked faster and observed the environment more carelessly, he might have tripped over this corpse!

This instantly reminded him of Gérard's description:

Several of the college student's companions tripped over something, fell to the ground, extinguished the candles, and were "swallowed" by the catacombs, completely disappearing even the traces of their existence!

Did they stumble upon these fallen bones? Lumian thoughtfully kicked the hand bone away.

With the sound of snapping, he and "Hela" continued to move forward, but after a few steps, they encountered another white skeleton with half of its body lying on the road.

Lumian frowned and subconsciously looked back at the place where he almost tripped just now.

The dim candlelight spread over there and was already very weak, but Lumian still managed to see all the details clearly with the help of the "hunter's" vision.

His pupils suddenly dilated, and he found that the pale hand bone that he kicked away had returned to its original position, continuing to act as a stumbling block for passers-by!

"Are they still alive? Undead?" Lumian looked around nervously and then asked.

"No, but it's possible." "Hela" responded succinctly.

Seeing Lumian's confused look, she further explained:

"They should be affected by the environment deep in the tomb now, and have certain abnormalities. When the dangers and terrors hidden in the environment burst out, they will all turn into undead creatures."

All turned into undead creatures... Lumian shuddered instinctively as he imagined such a scene.

Whether complete or incomplete, there are at least millions of skeletons in this layer, and maybe an order of magnitude more. If they all become undead creatures that hate living people, things will be extremely terrifying!

Seeing that "Hela" had no intention of returning, Lumian also followed. Relying on the guidance of the road signs and the black line above their heads, the two passed through the skeletons that were trying to "block" them, and slowly headed towards their destination. go.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the "Crimson Night Pillar" without encountering any living person.

This is a huge pillar made of black marble. The upper end touches the ceiling of the cave. There are no patterns or symbols engraved on the surface, and there are no traces of weathering or corrosion. "

Lumian was stunned for a while.

You know, in the sacrificial square, the two stone pillars symbolizing the "Eternal Sun" and the "God of Steam and Machinery" have also been weathered and corroded!

Is this more special than the Sacrificial Pillar?

"Hela" seemed to have guessed Lumian's feelings, and said coldly: "Christina is a member of the Witch Sect, which can also be called the Witch Family.

"She herself is the Disaster Witch of Sequence 2. She died in the Battle of the Four Emperors in the previous era and in Trier in the Fourth Epoch, but her characteristics were all recycled by the witch family.

"In addition to the Christmena Night Pillar, there are also Marianne Night Pillar and Lius Night Pillar on the third or fourth floor."

"Who are these two?" Lumian felt that they should also be angels, otherwise they would not be able to be equal to Crismena.

"Marian was the Pope of the Church of the Night at that time, and Leos was the favored one of the ancient God of Death, a Death Archon. Their characteristics were also recycled by their respective forces. As for whether other angels fell here, I'm not sure, but many of the angels who followed the Blood Emperor must have died." "Hela" said a few words briefly, then pointed to the stone steps behind the "Crimson Night Pillar", " Let’s go to the fourth floor.”

Lumian said "hmm" and suggested replacing the white candles that were almost burned out before going down to the fourth floor.

After attending the occult party, Franka and Jenna walked along the path they came from to the underground area corresponding to the Opera House Arcade.

After turning a fork in the road, Franka turned slightly sideways, leaned into Jiana's ear and said, "Someone is following us."

Someone is following us? Jian Na was shocked.
