This aura is deadly

As the bamboo raft continued to penetrate deeper into the sewer system, the drainage outlet turned into a small light spot behind him, and the strong smell of turbid feces flowed straight up his nose and into his brain.

Parker covered his nose, wondering what his expression was in the darkness. Chen Ke couldn't bear it and coughed twice.

"We're almost there," Jack said.

Jack pressed the bamboo raft against the wall on the left, then flattened the long pole, threw it to the steps aside, and jumped onto a platform on the left with a slight jump.

Chen Ke was surprised at how Jack could interact freely in the dark, as if he had cat eyes. After Jack went up, he struck a match, and instantly, the dark sewer became a little brighter.

"Watch your steps, don't fall into the smelly water." Jack laughed.

Chen Ke and Parker also stepped up the steps. Jack fixed the bamboo raft to the shore with a tied rope. The match went out at this time.

Jack lit another match, then picked up a small oil lamp from the ground next to him and lit it. The bright orange light illuminated the passage. Jack threw the match into the pool and motioned for them to follow.

Chen Ke then looked at the sewage ditch under the light. The water was dark in color, with a layer of shiny substance floating on it. Combined with the strong odor, he couldn't help but frown.

"This place is really dirty... Why do you have to hide here? Aren't you afraid of getting sick?" Parker couldn't help complaining.

"If you have any questions, ask Jacob yourself." Jack stopped explaining and led the two of them deeper into the area with a lamp.

The scale of this sewer is much larger than it looks. It passes through various pipes. If you are not familiar with the route, it is really easy to get lost in it.

They also passed two relatively large central water control rooms. There was a ray of moonlight shining on the top, which should be the leaking hole in the manhole cover of the sewer.

At the end of the passage, Chen Ke and the others came out of a circular opening and came to a larger space. Looking vertically down here, you can tell how high it is by listening to the sound of water. The light of the oil lamp is in this space. Like fireflies.

The two of them went down the escalator. He was a little confused. He didn't know who built such a huge space in this sewer. Maybe it was a shelter built by the Ingram government for other purposes, but for some reason it was Abandoned?

The three people went down to the bottom, and the surrounding sewage poured down from above their heads like a black waterfall. They walked deeper in the circular corridor at the bottom, and finally came to a double door. forward.

"The Ingram government actually built such a large... underground shelter in the sewer? And it was so empty that it couldn't be seen that it had been used." Chen Ke sighed.

"I thought you remembered this place, Chen Ke. Jacob said that you and he came here 29 years ago. It was still occupied by an evil cult." Jacob looked back at Chen Ke. Then he handed over the oil lamp.

"I don't remember." Chen Ke took the oil lamp.

"I don't know what happened at that time. Jacob said that you took him to see the extraordinary. I'm very curious." Jack put his hands on the double door, hummed, and pushed the door open with force.

"Crack, rattle, rattle..." The heavy wooden door made a sound, echoing in the silent and dark underground.

Inside the door was a stone room. The surrounding ground was filled with candles. A crack opened in the wall on the left, and a huge iron chain was exposed on the wall and fell to the ground.

An old man was crouching at the end of the stone room with his back to him, checking something.

"Is that your friend?" Parker asked softly.

"Little Jack, I told you not to go back to them for help. We can handle this matter." Jacob's old voice echoed in the stone chamber.

Chen Ke looked at the old man cautiously, and then called his name.

"Jacob?"

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound. He quickly stood up and turned to look at Chen Ke on the other side of the stone room.

"Chen Ke? Is it really you?" Jacob said.

"What else? What are you and Little Jack doing here?" Chen Ke walked over quickly.

Under the candlelight, Chen Ke saw an old but hale and hearty face. Jacob had white hair and his chin was cleanly shaved. The ruffian but somewhat handsome face had a lot of hair removed. Apart from the wrinkles, Jacob hasn't changed much from Chen Ke's impression.

"You're still so young, Chen Ke. I'm a little envious of you!" Jacob smiled, hugged Chen Ke and patted him on the shoulder.

"How are your eyes? I hope my money is not in vain." Chen Keye also smiled.

"Sharper than an eagle. But I still can't see through you." Jacob smiled.

At this time, Jacob saw Parker behind Chen Ke and raised his chin towards him.

"Is this your friend from that era?" Jacob asked.

"Wait a minute... does he know your identity?" Parker looked at Chen Ke in surprise.

"That's a long story." Chen Ke nodded, briefly introduced Parker to Jacob, and then led the topic to the sewer.

"What is this place...? What are you and little Jack doing here?" Chen Ke asked.

"Maybe 29 years is just a few minutes to you, right? Have you forgotten this place?" Jacob asked with a smile.

"Don't be pretentious, I lost a memory in 1859." Chen Kedao.

"Well... I should have guessed that the first time you and I met was outside King's College. You and Ms. Xu Jing were trying to find something underneath the college. I was the one who brought you in at that time," Jacob said.

"Just like I brought you in tonight, Jacob brought you in the same way back then." Little Jack said.

"So, is King's College above this? Everything under the sewer was also built by King's College?" Chen Ke asked.

"Yes, the dean funded a certain cult to extract the blood of children and adults here. I don't know what purpose it was used for. Do you remember? Those children." Jacob said.

"I don't remember." Chen Ke shook his head.

Death causes amnesia. If Chen Ke dies here, then it will be very dangerous...

"Anyway, for me this was 29 years ago, but things are so wonderful. Tonight, all the clues point to here." Jacob laughed.

"What do you mean?" Chen Ke asked.

"Follow me. If it were just Jack and I, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get the answer, but now that we have you, the situation is different." Jacob tilted his head, motioning for Chen Ke to follow, and at the same time asked Chen Ke to hold on. He handed the lantern to himself.

The four of them walked together to the place where Jacob was crouching before. There, Chen Ke saw unknown red and blue paints painted on the ground with complex intertwined circular patterns, which looked like a formation. .

And in this circular pattern, there are strange symbols written along the arc, and several circles are intertwined. At first glance, it seems messy, but upon closer inspection, it seems that their overlap is regular.

"What is this?" Chen Ke asked.

"I don't know, but I guess this is a ritual. You see, the pattern is not small, and there are symbols similar to words on it." Jacob said.

"This thing...do you think someone drew this pattern to summon the devil?" Parker asked.
