Chapter 369 The Basement Library
Howo raised his head and stared at the deepest part of the corridor.

Dimly, he sensed a certain silent danger in the deep silence of the church.

And that attraction is so alluring, like poppies blooming in the dark.

He thought for a moment, turned off the tap, and stepped out lightly.

His footsteps were so light that there was no sound.

Tick ​​Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick
The remaining water from the faucet dripped into the basin in the bathroom, making a soft noise.

Further down the corridor were two rooms, the doors of which were ajar.

The attraction came from the room on the left, and he slowly opened the door.

The layout here is very simple, a small number of seats, an altar with a cross,

It seems to be a small chapel for only a few people to worship.

There is also a small chapel inside the chapel.

Put dolls inside dolls.

Howo looked up, across the seat, and looked at the cross on the altar.

That attraction came from behind and below the cross.

But behind the cross is the wall.

Howo walked around the altar and walked up to the wall.

The cold moonlight shines on the ancient cross through the dusty glass.

There should be no hidden space behind the wall, just a single wall.

He Ao took two steps back, turned on his super memory, and stared at the cross.

There is nothing special about the cross itself, it does not show extraordinary characteristics, and the attraction that attracts Ho Ao does not emanate from the cross.

However, He Ao noticed another point.

He turned off Super Memory, stepped onto the altar, and walked in front of the cross.

The cross is about three meters high, and the beam is close to two meters high. Nell, who is about 1.8 meters tall, can touch the surface of the beam with his hand.

He Ao stretched out his hand to touch it, then withdrew his hand.

The plane on the beam is clean and free of dust.

The glass in this small chapel is covered with dust, and the floor is not very clean. Obviously, it has not been cleaned for a long time, but there is no obvious dust on the plane of the cross beam.

Howe stared at the uprights of the cross, which seemed to have a thin metal sheet affixed to the back.

He Ao thought for a moment, held the vertical pole of the cross with one hand, and the horizontal pole with the other, and lifted the cross up sharply.

This cross is not light, it weighs about three to four hundred catties, and it is not easy for ordinary people to lift it.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the cross seemed to be stuck on a certain mechanism, and He Ao let go of his hand.

At this moment, the cross has been suspended and fixed on the metal plate behind it.

He Ao grasped the beam of the cross and pulled it down hard. The cross turned 180 degrees counterclockwise and turned into an upside-down shape.

click -

The cross was jammed again, and the altar under Ho Ao's feet shook.

Howo jumped off the altar.

There is no ash on the upper surface of the beam, which means that the cross is often turned over, and the upper surface becomes the lower surface, so naturally there is no ash.

But turning the cross upside down is regarded by some as giving up salvation and blasphemy. In Rock City, a city with a strong religious atmosphere, even if someone guesses that the cross is turned upside down, they dare not actually turn the cross upside down.

How is different, how is not religious.

Nell was not religious either.

When a person encounters a major setback, he either completely throws himself into the embrace of God, or completely abandons God.

Nell falls into the latter category.

However, in this place of worshiping gods, some kind of blasphemous emblem is used as a method to open the mechanism...
The miners' mutual aid association seemed not as simple as He Ao imagined.

The altar under the cross moved away slowly, revealing an inverted triangle hole, and a deep staircase extended from the hole to the depths of the ground.

When He Ao was looking at the stairs, two 'factory' shaped metal rods protruded from the walls on both sides of the stairs, like two handrails.

However, the handrail is a little short, He Ao stepped forward and looked at the metal pole. The middle of the metal pole is concave, and it seems to form some kind of track. This track extends from the metal pole to the walls on both sides of the stairs, and finally extends to the stairs. deepest.

He Ao waited for a while, but nothing changed at the entrance of the cave.

He thought for a moment and stepped up the stairs.

There is no light at the stairway, and the deepest part is pitch black, but now He Ao's eyesight, with the help of moonlight, can barely see the outermost stairway clearly.

He went on.

The moment his body was completely submerged in the dark stairway, there was a slight vibration, and the altar that had been moved away was slowly moving back, sealing all the brilliance.

At the moment when the entire stairway was plunged into darkness, a light suddenly lit up above He Ao's head.

Immediately afterwards, the lights came on one after another, extending to the end of the stairs.

There, there is a bright red door.

This deep staircase is like a passage leading to hell, and behind the bright red door is hell.

He Ao glanced back at the passageway he came in, and at the bottom of the altar, a dark red emblem was faintly revealed.

It was an inverted triangle pattern with an open eye embedded in the middle of the pattern.

He Ao didn't know this pattern, but according to his long-term experience with friends, this pattern should point to an evil god.

He turned his head and continued to walk down the stairs, and soon came to the bright red door.

When He Ao touched the door, he vaguely heard a sharp scream in his ear, which seemed to be the lament of the dead.

This lament lingered in He Ao's ears, describing their fear of death and their longing for life.

But they were just chanting and did not dare to attack in close quarters.

He Ao turned on the super memory, and in an instant, he noticed the wraiths entwined on the door.

He turned his attention to those wraiths.

The wraith in the middle, who was mourning, paused for a moment, and then looked at He Ao, as if thinking whether He Ao was looking at it.

It moved its body, and He Ao's eyes followed it.

After confirming that He Ao was looking at it, it retracted into the door with a swipe.

The buzzing noise in He Ao's ears disappeared.

He smiled and shook his head, and naturally pushed open the bright red door.

What caught his eyes was not a dark cave, but an underground space with clean floors and bright lights.

There is a slight stagnant musty smell in the air, but it is not heavy.

This space is not large, and there are rows of bookshelves in sequence.

It appears to be an underground library.

He Ao walked to the first bookshelf, on the side of the bookshelf, the number of the bookshelf, 'Z', was pasted.

He Ao's eyes paused for a while on the letter 'Z', and then quickly shifted to the books on the bookshelf.

These books are not books whose titles start with Z, but some strange miscellaneous books.

That deep attraction came from the deepest part of the space, but He Ao did not continue to move forward, but stopped and glanced at the miscellaneous books on the bookshelves.

He picked up a book at random, flipped through "The Evolution of the Church of the God of Chaos", and flipped through another copy of "The Dance Ritual of the Witch of Desire—How to Maximize Your Partner's Desire".

Then, he picked up a copy of "The Church Structure of the God of Knowledge". In fact, he saw this book when he first came in, but he didn't choose this book immediately, because being too eager would reveal his true inner thoughts.

He Ao flipped through the book. This book roughly described the Church of the God of Knowledge. It has an obvious organizational structure different from the conventional church. The Church of the God of Knowledge is relatively loose, and even the priests do not know each other.

The God of Knowledge's criteria for selecting priests is quite picky, so there is often only one member of the God of Knowledge Church in several cities.

Correspondingly, the priests of each Church of the God of Knowledge have high combat effectiveness and possess all kinds of secret knowledge.

Unlike the strict selection of priests, the God of Knowledge is not very picky when it comes to treating believers. Even if you are not a believer in the God of Knowledge, you can still obtain the knowledge you want by offering sacrifices to the God of Knowledge.

Of course, the premise is to communicate with the God of Knowledge first.

The book specifically mentions that communicating with the God of Knowledge has a high possibility of failure. Not every communication ceremony can communicate with the God of Knowledge. Even if you do, He may ignore you.

Later, he also introduced in detail how to improve the success rate of the God of Knowledge's communication ceremony. He Ao glanced at it and put the book back.

He doesn't really need a way to increase his success rate. Based on his friendship with good friends, good friends are always on call.

While putting the books back on the bookshelf, He Ao's gaze swept across the bookshelves again without leaving any traces. Most of the books were knowledge about occultism.

In the end, his gaze fell on a small yellowed book, the title of which was "Martial Arts Practice in the First District".
