I played the world alone

Chapter 406 Hell Demon (two in one)

Father Bruce was standing at the entrance to the ruins of the church with an anxious expression.

His eyes with dark circles still contained some fear and uneasiness that had not completely subsided, and from time to time he would subconsciously look back in the direction of the basement.

Every time he looks at it, his legs can't help but tremble, and he almost wants to run away from here immediately!

But he knew that many people were staring at it at the moment. Among other things, the row of police cars with lights flashing outside was enough to show that the Imperial Security Bureau attached great importance to this place.

And after what happened in the past two days, he even guessed that there might be several wizards secretly watching him with magic right now, and any slightest movement might be treated as a dangerous person!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder again, recalling the experience of the previous two days.

After being frightened and fainting in the basement that day, when he woke up, he found that he was tightly tied to an electric chair with several thick chains, and there was a bright and dazzling headlight in front of him. Follow.

He was so frightened that he thought he had been kidnapped.

It wasn't until several agents from the Security Bureau showed up that he learned that the workers had gone straight to the police after escaping. Since extraordinary powers might be involved, he immediately aroused great attention and organized a group of people to come and check.

Of course, he was also rescued as a "suspect" from the basement.

After that, he underwent interrogation for almost a day and a night.

After all, he is the person most familiar with this ancient church. The previous owner, his father, has died of illness, so it stands to reason that he is the person most likely to know the truth.

But he really doesn’t know anything!

However, the people from the Security Bureau didn't believe it, and even hired a wizard to use some magical magic on him, trying to force him to speak, or induce him to tell something that was hidden deep in his heart or that he had forgotten. past events.

But there is still no result.

Up to this point, they barely believed that he was truly unaware.

But there is still no complete trust. For example, many people are watching him now to see if he will reveal any flaws.

The only thing Father Bruce hoped was that the people the Security Bureau said they had invited could successfully solve this trouble, so that he would not have to continue to suffer this terrible torture.

Finally, he saw two cars approaching in the distance and slowly stopped outside the circle of police cars.

He immediately greeted him excitedly.

A few security personnel got out of the first car, and three people got out of the second car.

One of them was Mr. Sweet, who had interrogated him before, and the other two were unfamiliar oriental faces.

If I guess correctly, the protagonists this time should be them.

"This is Father Bruce, the original person in charge of this ancient church." Sweet introduced.

"Let's ask the priest to help us lead the way and go in to see the specific situation."

Although Bruce was a little scared and didn't dare to approach the basement, he could only bite the bullet and agree and walk at the front honestly.

When we arrived at the entrance to the basement, the original iron door was still closed. Probably because we were worried that it might be part of some kind of seal, we didn't handle it casually.

Two soldiers with guns stood next to the iron door. After seeing Sweet, they nodded slightly and then opened it carefully.

Suddenly, a cold chill shot out from the ground, as if the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees in an instant.

Although Xu Xun was just an ordinary person, he still insisted on going down to have a look when he got here. Sweet could only agree and followed him.

Fortunately, the inside has been checked by the security personnel, so there should be no big problem.

I walked down the spiraling steps with a flashlight, and soon came to the end of the stairs. There was a completely rotten wooden door, with only a broken door frame left after being eaten clean by insects. .

Father Bruce smiled awkwardly: "It was still intact when I first came down, but it was damaged because I was too nervous..."

Pushing the door open and entering, as the flashlight illuminated, a horrifying and terrifying apocalyptic scene instantly appeared in front of everyone!

The overall area of ​​the basement is roughly the same as the church above.

Ignore the stone tables, chairs and benches as well as the bookshelves containing some crooked old books and bottles.

I saw several complete or incomplete skeletons hanging on the walls, and even a few skulls that were obviously not adults were made into handicraft-like decorations and hung from the ceiling with strings.

There are also many strange reddish-brown lines carved on the ground, which look like some kind of weird five-pointed star array, but they are covered with blood and rotten flesh, so they give people a very evil and terrifying feeling.

Fortunately, too much time has passed, so there are only some barely distinguishable flesh and blood remains and squirming or dead maggots.

Because of this, the air was filled with a strong, bad rotten smell, which made people's stomachs churn and almost make them want to vomit.

In addition to those horrific decorations, there are also some animal flesh and blood specimens on the walls, as well as various weird and weird murals that seem to contain some kind of symbolic meaning.

Among them were angels whose wings were broken, and God who was divided and eaten...

In the eyes of any religious believer, this kind of thing is definitely regarded as an out-and-out heretic and traitor!
What's more, it's under a bright and majestic church!

This made Sweet, who had always been relatively calm, couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw it again, as if he wanted to get angry, but he finally endured it.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the previous inspection obeyed the order and did not dare to deal with the things here casually. The whole scene was basically exactly the same as when Father Bruce came in for the first time.

Xu Xun had seen a lot of the world, but he was still relatively calm with his nose covered.

“Have the items here been scientifically identified?”

Sweet nodded.

"Based on expert inspections, it can be roughly determined that all the items here are about 500 to [-] years ago."

"You know, at that time our country's religion was still in a relatively chaotic and ignorant state. I guess it may be some of the bad consequences caused at that time..."

Xu Xun nodded.

He also knew a little bit about that history.

How cruel the sects were during that time can be seen from some of the current classics. For example, Bruno, the very famous supporter of the heliocentric theory, was burned to death by the church at that time.

It's hard to say whether the various evil rituals in this basement were motivated by some kind of revenge.

Of course, if that's all, forget it. After all, everyone knows that those things are fake. It's not like we haven't discovered similar relics before. At most, we just criticize those behaviors at that time.

But the key is what if there is one real one among so many fake ones?
Just like this one.

Father Bruce was quietly relieved when he heard this.

At least the time has been determined, and his suspicion can almost be cleared.

500 years ago, his grandfather's grandfather didn't even know where he was at that time, so it must have nothing to do with him.

"Then can I leave first?" He was still holding the Bible tightly in his arms. Only this could give him some comfort. "No."

Sweet cut him off immediately.

"Although you are no longer suspected of committing the crime, you are the first person to enter here after all. Maybe some of the dirty things hidden in here will stick to you!"

"You have to wait until the matter is settled and there is no danger before you can leave!"

"what……"

Father Bruce's forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat, his calves were trembling with fear, and he quickly prayed to the gods in his heart.

He really almost forgot this.

There are so many dead bones here. It is estimated that there are not a few people who died here, so there must be a lot of dead souls.

Wouldn't it be worse if someone followed him home? !

Although he was a priest himself, and was occasionally entrusted with baptizing others or exorcising demons, he knew very well whether he had such great abilities.

For the sake of the safety of himself and his family, he decided to stay and cast his hopeful eyes on the remaining Easterner.

Sweet had the same reaction as him and looked over.

"Mr. Yueze, what do you think after seeing the scene now? Are there any evil forces entrenched here?"

Father Bruce swallowed, nervously waiting for a reply.

Immediately, I saw the Oriental named Yue Ze closing his eyes and seemed to be sensing carefully. After opening his eyes again, he slowly said: "There is indeed a trace of strange power left here."

Bruce suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Then...then why don't you prepare some holy water and bring it here..."

He was trying to solve the problem in a way he knew how.

It's a pity that the other party shook his head.

Then he walked seemingly casually to the table placed against the wall, pointed at the miniature plaster statue of an angel with folded wings and said.

"This is a huge summoning array. The user is probably trying to use this array to summon demons in another world. Of course, to use your words here, it should be the demons in hell."

"And these demons are very terrifying. Although they were stopped because they were discovered in time, this statue is one of the tools of suppression."

"But the devil is still trying to break out and pollute the world. A little carelessness may lead to the worst results."

Bruce always felt a little strange when he heard this statement. If he thought about it carefully, it was actually the same as the church using various stories to fool believers.

It is said that the end of the world is coming, and only believers can survive.

This always made him sound a little confused and dubious.

Sweet's reaction was similar.

He is not a child anymore, so he will not be deceived by such words. He must see something substantial.

"I wonder if there's any evidence to prove that?"

He tried to ask a question, and quickly added an explanation: "Of course it's not that I don't believe you, but for the sake of national security, I must truthfully report these situations to my superiors in order to get greater support."

Otherwise, just talk nonsense and ask for financial support?Those council lords are not idiots.

Yue Ze thought for a moment and then nodded.

"You can give it a try. With my power, I can reveal some of the devil's power to you without completely unsealing it."

"However, it must be noted that there is a high degree of danger in this process. These are all ordinary people. I suggest that it is best to add a few extraordinary masters with protective power to assist."

"it is good!"

This was exactly what Sweet wanted.

In order to prevent the other party from fooling him, he also felt that he needed his own extraordinary power to serve as a witness and distinguish the true from the false.

With his status, it would not be a problem to call a few extraordinary people over.

Soon, two veteran wizards arrived. Although they were still a little confused after learning what was going to happen here, looking at the strange environment here, they still carefully set up several defensive magics.

Yue Ze was not in a hurry, and only started to take action after all the arrangements were completed.

"Everyone, be careful."

He said lightly, and quickly made a few finger gestures in his hand at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. Then he gave a soft drink, pointed at the angel sculpture and released a golden light.

"Stab!"

The golden light instantly dispersed like fireworks, and the angel sculpture began to emit a faint fluorescent light.

The light became stronger and stronger, and finally it was like a high-power light bulb, lighting up the entire spacious basement!
At the same time, everyone suddenly felt that the ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking slightly.

Subconsciously, I thought it was an illusion, but when I saw the skeleton hanging from the ceiling shaking, I confirmed that it was real.

The angel sculpture was also shaking violently, and even tipped over on the table at one point, rolling slightly.

"Beware!"

The two wizards felt something was wrong, so they quickly added a few more defensive magics and protected the three ordinary people as they approached the door and stayed away from the central area.

Suddenly, one of them seemed to sense something and suddenly lowered his head and looked at his feet.

The others were also belatedly aware of it, and they looked down and saw that the formation diagram under their feet, which had been silent for an unknown period of time, suddenly lit up with dark red light, filled with a strange aura, and the white light on the angel sculpture. A stark contrast, as if two extremes collided.

"what happened……"

Before they had time to ask, they saw the red light suddenly more than doubled in intensity, and even became a bit dazzling!
Then, in the center of the basement, which was also the center of this huge array, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently, and the soil continued to arch upward and crack, as if something was trying to get out of it.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath.

The next second, a crack suddenly opened in the ground, and a huge arm stretched out from inside.

The thing looked like a human hand but it was covered with black hair. The nails and hair were even stained with scarlet blood, as if it had just experienced a brutal killing.

And just one arm is almost larger than an adult, making it difficult to imagine how terrifying its body is!
