The Modern Age of the Mysterious

After distributing the flashlights brought by the education officers, Winston carried a lantern, and a few people walked into the cellar.

Except for the smell of the air, the environment in the cellar is a little better than expected. Winston seemed to come and go here a lot, so he didn't seem too cringe when he walked ahead.

After walking for a while, he lit an oil lamp hanging from the top with the fire source of the lantern in his hand: "I proposed to install electric lights in the cellar, but the structure inside the wall is too old for wiring, and The cellar wasn't used much, so I just let it go."

With the light of the oil lamp on the wall, in order to save the battery, Sean turned off his flashlight.

After entering the cellar, he realized that the danger might be close at hand, so he extended his spiritual tentacles and carried out early-warning explorations around him.

The cellar is deep and dark, and everyone can only use a limited light source to observe the surroundings. This oppressive environment, coupled with the already dangerous atmosphere, makes everyone have varying degrees of tension.

Sean "unintentionally" used his psychic tentacles to hear other people's heartbeats. Both Will and Moonlight were relatively calm, and their heartbeats did not change much.

Jasmine was far from being calm on the surface, her heartbeat was fast.

Looking at her eyes again, those blue eyes seemed to be fearless, but they were blinking constantly.

Sean patted the moonlight, then tilted his head, motioning him to observe Jasmine. Yueguang also noticed that something was wrong with Jasmine, so she didn't say anything, raised her left hand, bent her ring finger, and pressed an invisible key in the air.

A clear note sounded in the cellar, and both the priest and the indoctrination chief looked back in amazement. Moonlight pressed a few keys slowly and repeatedly, playing a monotonous and clear melody. It distracted Jasmine, her heartbeat slowed down, and her pupils, which were constricted due to tension, gradually enlarged...

Jasmine turned her head and nodded to Moonlight.

When Winston lit the third oil lamp, Williams pointed to a room not far away: "That **** wall is in that room."

Williams and Winston stopped in unison.

Will has been walking at the front of the team. Without any hesitation, he took the flashlight and walked into the room.

In a dangerous environment, Will has always taken the lead, which made Sean's evaluation of him a lot higher: "Although they all belong to the explorers of the Salvation Church priesthood, and the masks are of the same type, but Will is more than the previous guard of the kingdom of God. Much better, I feel like a good teammate." Thinking so, Sean followed everyone into the room.

The blood-seeking wall was easy to identify. After entering the room, four flashlights were projected onto the opposite wall. Bright black bloodstains were clearly visible from the cracks between the blackened bricks, and there was a distinct smell of rust in the room.

The blood oozing from the walls had already covered the floor of half the room.

Sean's psychic tentacles did not dare to go directly into the wall to probe - after systematic study, Sean knew that some actions that he took for granted were tantamount to death.

Jasmine, who had regained her composure, planned to go forward to check, but Will stopped her.

As if sensing the arrival of the crowd, the blood flow between the bricks suddenly increased, gurgling like a black-red spring, and foam was poured out of the blood pool on the ground.

Then, the blood-soaked brick suddenly fell and collapsed, revealing the scene behind the brick wall—a deep, stench-smelling cave...

Perhaps because of the wind pressure, after the brick wall collapsed, a gust of wind blew out of the cave, causing a sound, like a burp from the throat of a giant beast...

Strong malice diffused out of the hole, and Winston and Williams, who were standing behind the squad, were already frightened by the sight before their faces.

Will has no fear, and under the blood-stained iron mask, his angular lips let out a soft drink: "Stop!"

A transparent sound wave expanded outward like a barrier, blocking the stench of wind.

The four explorers all frowned: Obviously, this is the provocation of that evil power.

Will turned to face Sean and the others: "Everyone should have felt that the threat in the cave is bigger than expected.

"This is probably the most dangerous gear in a Jack-level mission, maybe even Queen-level."

When Will spoke, Shawn flashed the shadows of the Witch's Wreck, Tom in the Rain, and the Twins.

Because of good luck, Sean escaped several previous disasters, but this did not reduce his fear of the Queen-level - every time he faced it, it was a severe life and death test.

"According to the stipulations in the "Manual", we have the right to cancel this operation with the association, and then wait for the association to reassign the Queen-level squad to come."

Hearing what Will said, Winston was anxious, he opened his mouth to speak, Will raised a hand to stop him, and continued: "But if this is the case, there will be several problems.

"First, now that the entrance to the source of evil has been opened, Queen-level threats may appear during this time. If we wait for the next team to arrive in the town, we may still have to face it, and we will face it at that time. Losing the initiative, it has the advantage of a covert threat.

"Secondly, it's not very difficult for a Jack-level team to challenge a Queen-level mission. I have confidence in myself and Jasmine. Moonlight, I have seen your ability, and it is no problem to challenge by leapfrog.

Will's eyes turned to Sean: "As for Xiao, although he is still a trainee, he has made adequate preparations.

"So I think we have quite a chance.

"Not only that, but the rewards of Queen-level tasks are also a notch higher.

"So my proposal is to move on."

Seemingly knowing that Jasmine would support him, Will is now waiting for Moonlight and Sean to reply.

Moonlight shrugged: "I don't care. This is Xiao's apprenticeship assignment. I think the main thing is to listen to his opinion on such a risky decision."

Sean's psychic slid across the M1920 revolver in the holster, only to weigh for a moment: "I agree to move on."

Will nodded. Before going any further, he turned and asked the priest and indoctrination chief: "Do you know anything about the space behind this wall?"

Winston and Williams both shook their heads, and the priest added: "I grew up here, and for fifty years, I have never found any other space behind the walls of this cellar.

"The old priests didn't mention it either."

Before entering the cave, Will hesitated for a moment: "Should I leave a person outside the cave?"

After a little thought, he decided to act together: if it was a Jack-level mission, then dispersing the combat power would have no effect. But there may be a stronger threat ahead, and if you reserve at this time, you may have to pay a very high price.

And... he looked at Winston and Williams next to him - he could keep them at the entrance of the hole.

With such an assumption, Will proposed to add two other indoctrination officers to guard at the entrance of the cave together.

After arranging everything, Will held a metal scepter with a round head at one end in his hand, and led a few people into the cave.

At the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere in northern Europe, in an isolated manor.

The largest building in the manor is like a stone palace. The "palace" looks quite old, but is well maintained and maintained.

At the gate of the palace, a bronze plaque is mounted on the wall, next to the circular labyrinth sign, with the words "Daedalus Foundation" written in Lyon.

A black-haired man with a mustache and a black tuxedo was smoking a cigarette at the gate.

In the palace, suddenly there was a loud noise, as if someone had struck a gong with all their strength, and the sound continued for a long time.

The man hurriedly shoved the cigarette he just took two puffs into the ashtray next to him, and ran towards the palace.

His leather shoes rattled crisply on the marble floor of the room~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He ran up the central staircase, bypassed several large rooms, and came to the door of a room with a huge glass window facing the corridor.

The bronze plaque outside the room reads the words "Protocol Failure Warning Hall (Dalfinch Relic · 1911 Update.

Through the giant glass window, you can see the scene in the agreement warning hall——

This is a rotunda of more than 500 square meters. A starry sky is depicted on the top.

There are some stars hanging down a thin silver thread, and many "bronze angel statues" of different shapes are hung on the silver thread.

The floor of the room is not paved with wood or marble, but a very rough copper surface.

In this room full of religious art, a bronze statue of an angel has fallen to the ground, and the loud noise just now was made by the bronze statue hitting the ground.

"My God, my God!" As if a baby rolled from the crib to the ground, the mustache gentleman ran into the room nervously and picked up the bronze statue of the angel from the ground, " My God, how long has it been since there was no containment breach warning!"

He looked carefully at the bronze statue of the angel in his hand: it was a one-winged angel, holding his cheeks, seemed to be meditating, but also seemed to be sulking.

He turned the angel over and carefully examined the ornate text engraved on its back.

"Newlander, Levin town, in the church cellar" is followed by a string of detailed latitude and longitude coordinates.

The man with the moustache was pale, holding a bronze angel, and while running out of the room, he shouted, "Quickly call the transoceanic line! I want to contact the New Zealand branch!"

His cry echoed in the stone palace. The angels in the early warning hall were spinning slowly under the silver line, ignoring the hysterical shouting.
