Mysterious Catastrophe

An abnormal redness appeared on the face of the poor man: "Ahem... My name is Raul, I am a miner. The doctor told me that I have already suffered from pneumoconiosis and there is no cure. As long as I complete the task this time, my family will You can get a lot of money…”

Fiona tilted her head unnaturally, but Sistos was not surprised at all.

He had seen these things just now.

"We agree to the conditions, let's start... On this piece of paper, there is the power of the contract ceremony."

Sistos said.

"Yes, I learned for the first time last night that there is still a mysterious power in the world..."

Raul nodded: "Please give me a dagger..."

Jacob nodded, and an interrogator immediately handed him a knife.

"I'm a little afraid of pain..." Raul smiled wryly, cut off his finger, and let the blood drip on the sticky note.

The bright red blood penetrated into the paper, like a key, unlocking a mysterious change.

After absorbing the blood, another line of bright red writing appeared: "Suburb, Vikhanor Racecourse..."

"This is...a contract ceremony...a very high level..." Fiona looked at this scene, thought for a while and said, "I seem to have read it in an ancient book...the carrier of information is a note, but it must be Opening it the right way... the key is not just Raul's blood."

"Yes, there is another layer of contract on Raul's body. Only after he hears our promise of conditions, the contract in his heart is completed, and then he can use his blood to make the information on the paper appear...Composite ceremony ..."

Sistos nodded: "The conception is quite exquisite, but it is too cautious... Especially, it doesn't make much sense. The other party's demand is a museum. Even if we sell it, we can monitor it...and we can take it back at any time. Of course, We are not robbers, as long as the information provided by the other party is true and effective, it is not impossible to give it to him.”

In fact, even the contract effect of the double ceremony is not impossible to bypass.

But obviously, the Bureau of Investigation doesn't have that much time.

Rather than wasting it on the cracking ceremony, it is the most efficient choice to directly agree to the conditions that are not considered high, and to obtain the answer.

Sistos picked up the sticky note, closed his eyes slightly, and solemnly declared: "The logical verification is passed, and the dialectical is valid!"

This is a strange extraordinary ability, which can confirm the authenticity of items and information through logical argumentation and philosophical speculation.

"Confirm the location is real."

Jacob clenched his fists excitedly: "Go ahead and get ready to act!"

……

Ewell Bridge area.

In a cheap hotel room.

Gwen of the Sunset School opened the curtains and looked at a fruit stand outside the church.

The peddler who set up the stall was confirmed by him to be the one who was monitoring Nicholas.

However, the purpose of the other party has always been unclear, which made him a little worried.

At this time, he saw a group of people walking out from the church door, all following Nicholas Inam, as if preparing to conduct a charity event.

"Gwen...is that bishop your chosen student?"

A voice suddenly came from the side, Gwen turned his head and saw a tall figure.

The other party was wearing a white robe that seemed to be woven from a whole piece of cloth, with hair like flames, and his eyes were like two small suns, which were shining brightly.

"Teacher! Yes, his name is Nicholas, and his heart is bright..."

Gwen quickly bowed and saluted.

This one is one of the 'Lamp Holders' of the 'Sunset School', the 'Lighting Sun Instructor' Sasluofei!

"The little guy should have some secrets. He survived Roberts' hands last time and healed the pollution of his body and mind. It's very suspicious... Do you still want to apply for a ceremony for him?"

Sasluo Fei shook his head: "Gwen, you have been slacking off recently, it's very bad! I will personally take action to find out the secrets hidden by you as a student, um... and the person who watched him... Your task has already been completed. It’s done, you’ve done a good job, you can prepare to hold the ceremony to open the third essence when you go back, and when the time comes, I will personally act as your guide!”

Advancement in the mysterious system is often very bloody and cruel.

In particular, low-level and same-level mystics of the same path can even be directly used as advanced materials!

The 'guide' is different, they can also help apprentices to hold promotion ceremonies, but at the cost of voluntarily depleting part of their own spirituality, which becomes the motivation for the ceremonial practitioners to advance.

This kind of thing that harms oneself and benefits others rarely occurs in the mysterious world, unless the relationship is particularly close.

"Teacher... Nicholas is a good boy."

Gwen couldn't bear to argue, but seeing the teacher's stern gaze, her voice couldn't help but become lower...

Chapter 182

Church relief point.

Nicholas picked up a paper bag containing bread, carrots, and jam and handed it to the poor waiting in line.

For many, the relief of the Church was a guarantee that they would not starve to death.

"The teacher's teacher is coming..." Nicholas was thinking about other things absently while distributing relief supplies.

"Actually, I don't need the help of the ceremony. I have completely digested the influence of the 'Illuminator', and I can continue to advance and be promoted to the 'Child of Light'... But how can I say such a thing?"

"You can take this opportunity to ask the instructor about the follow-up promotion information of 'Children of Light'... I remember the teacher mentioned that the third-prime occupation purely in the path of 'Yao' is called 'Craftsman', which has the temporary nature of making The ability of the magical item has a great bonus to the strength... and the fourth essence is named - "Machine Tutor"!"

Nicholas is determined to take the path of pure 'Yao', but feels that this represents the path of brilliance, which is a bit strange in the future.

"I heard...there is also a debate within the Sunset School that the name of the Second Prime's 'Son of Light' should be changed to 'Son of Fire'...and they also don't believe in the current master of the path of 'Yao'— Si Sui 'breaks dawn'...'

Nicholas feels that there are still many secrets in the Sunset School, but he is only a peripheral member, not even a middle-level member, and his knowledge is limited.

Just when he was distracted, a homeless man came to him, took the relief supplies, and said gratefully: "The Holy Spirit bless you!"

"The Holy Spirit blesses any believer."

Nicholas replied reflexively, suddenly feeling wrong!

This homeless man is in his thirties, with blue eyes, he is the envoy 'Yasuo' whom he has seen before!

During the contact, he felt a note was stuffed in his hand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to change shifts with the nuns, Nicholas watched the back of Mr. Yasuo leaving, unfolded the note and glanced at it in a hurry, his expression changed one after another.

"Mr. Yasuo wants me to do this... use the news of the location of Earl Greenwood's tomb to attract all my attention... the official members of the Invisible Priory are too kind, right?"Would you rather divulge such an important secret for my safety? '

Nicholas was moved, but he also knew that his current situation might be extremely dangerous.

He hurriedly found a bathroom, arranged the ceremony, and used the small mirror he carried with him to pass the information about Sotos' tomb to his teacher—Gwen!

Inside the hotel.

Gwen suddenly felt a mirror trembling on his body. After taking it out, he found the words on it, his eyes popped out suddenly, and he jumped up: "The people following Nicholas are members of the lotus eater association...they have found the green mirror in the suburbs. The tomb of Earl Sen, Aaron Sotos, is being secretly excavated...the reason why you monitored the party was because you were afraid of leaking the news?"

"Green Goblin - Aaron Sotos?!"

Sasluofei, who was preparing to act next to him, was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly realized: "Yes...it is connected with the previous clues...the lotus eaters? They use surveillance methods, just don't want to If the matter gets bigger, after all, if all the party participants are killed at once, even a blind person can see that there is a problem."

"Teacher...the mausoleum of the green devil..." Gwen was full of hesitation: "Could it... be a trap?"

"Even if you have to go to the trap, you don't understand the mystery of Aaron Sotos... His mysterious level may not be important, but he must know many ancient secrets, and may even be the information about the sun's fall! This is what our organization has always been The thing you've been looking for!"

Sasluo Fei smiled and said: "I will go alone, nothing will happen... Gwen, you should lurk down immediately and pass the news to the school! It's a pity... this time the school didn't pay attention to this place, and didn't send more People come, I'm afraid I can't compete with the lotus eaters... I hope the Bureau of Investigation won't join in."

……

Sothos Ruins.

The huge green banyan tree is verdant in the sun, and shriveled corpses hang from the air roots on the branches, swaying in the breeze.

This scene has long attracted the attention of many surrounding farmers.

This is what Jacob saw when he arrived at the scene of the incident with the capable agents of the Bureau of Investigation.

"There were no banyan trees here, only a reclamation camp!"

Fiona came with the latest information and said in a deep voice.

"Damn it, we were lied to!"

Jacob was a little annoyed: "With such an obvious sign, information will spread quickly... We will get the news sooner or later. The leaker even traded it for a museum!"

"At least, we are several hours ahead, which is a big advantage."

Kaslo is very open-minded, anyway, he is not a local, he does not value some local interests, but looks at the mummy hanging on the green banyan tree with great interest.

A large part of them are wearing robes with lotus patterns on a black background, and they can be seen as evil followers of the lotus eaters.

"These dangerous elements, in the name of reclamation, occupied this place early and started excavating?"

He guessed part of the truth: "The lotus eaters were the first organization to discover Sotos' tomb?"

"Quick! Block the scene!"

Jacob felt like his head was going to split open: "The surrounding residents will all be detained... After we get rid of this green banyan tree as soon as possible, we will announce to the outside world that they saw a mirage!"

"These are just barely making up for it. If it is photographed and published by reporters... maybe the mysterious world we have been trying to hide will be made public."

"What I'm worried about is that on the other hand, the symbol of the green banyan tree is too conspicuous, which may attract a large number of evil believers and ancient sects... After we enter the tomb to explore, the outside agents may not be able to stop them." Fiona He said in a pleasant voice: "I'm afraid it's time to mobilize the local garrison."

The army at this time is generally equipped with rifles, which pose a great threat to low-level Extraordinary.

If you cooperate with cannons, even if there is no human being, you will not dare to attack head-on!

Jacob hesitated for a moment, then looked at Sistos.

At this time, the 'philosopher' is in a state of 'cognitive tampering', which can only be seen by the three of them.

Sistos stood under the green banyan tree, mumbling something in his mouth:

"Thousands of roots gushed out from the ground, the earth was turned over by a giant plow, people's flesh and bones were turned into mud, and turned into offerings for the green banyan tree's grandmother..."

"This is the prayer of the ancient Greenwood people when they sacrificed to the god of Tibet - [Grandmother of the Green Banyan Tree]." Fiona said.

Jacob and Caslo raised their heads, looked at the suspended corpse, and felt an ancient horror that contained vicissitudes!

Sistos came under a corpse with a gentle voice: "I am a human being, and I can talk... You are also a human being, so you can talk too... The argument is passed! What did you do?"

The hanging mummy suddenly opened its mouth: "We...we dug out... taboos from the ground!!"

Chapter 183 Gathering

On the open ground, a single giant banyan tree forms a forest, with countless aerial roots and corpses hanging down, like a death oil painting full of religious meaning.

"Dug out the taboo from the ground?!"

Fiona repeated this sentence, as if she could taste the horror in it!

Ordinary people who inadvertently come into contact with dangerous items in the hidden world often suffer from various terrible disasters.

And now, these extraordinary people seem to have encountered the same disaster!

It's just...more terrifying!

"Is this... the tomb of Aaron Sothoth? What did you dig out of it?"

Sistos continued to ask questions.

"do not know……"

"Where is the entrance to the ruins?"

"The tree hole..."

The mummy uttered the last few notes and closed its mouth forever.

Jacob approached the big banyan tree that required ten people to hug him. On the other side, he saw a dark hole above the trunk.

The darkness that was so thick that it could not be dispelled, entrenched in the tree hole, exuded an ominous atmosphere.

……

Kaslo whistled, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Summoning the big banyan tree... What kind of ritual or spell is this? What level of powerhouse can do it?"

"Inhuman beings who specialize in the elements of 'red' should be able to do it...a real 'druid' may also be able to do it."

Jacob mused to answer.

"Speaking of which, that green devil isn't very powerful..."

Caslo laughed.

"Don't underestimate the other party, he is an inhuman existence in the period when the spiritual tide has just recovered! The gold content is not comparable to what it is now... Moreover, the other party is suspected of being a god-favored person, who has mastered an unknown number of ancient secrets." Fiona sighed: "I have some Can't wait to enter the mausoleum...even if it's dangerous!"
