Monopolize the favor of paranoid gods

Intelligent creatures have never been allowed to enter the Rasteri Palace. Everything here is kept in the most primitive state. So far, no traces of human activities have been seen except for the temple.

But the birth of the temple was unusually abrupt, and the gods had never set foot here, so who built the temple?The temple is basically in the middle of the Rasteri Palace, but if it is the Rasteri Palace that is not allowed to enter, how is the temple built in the middle?

All the materials are not made of wood, and basically the materials are transported from the outside world. He once used Leo to investigate here, but he didn't get any ruins of the workshop.

There was nothing abnormal on the upper floor of the temple. After searching, all Song Zhixun could see were rooms. He took the spare keys of all the rooms from the maid's room, opened the doors one by one, and searched for suspicious places one by one.

There is a huge library inside the temple. The characters in the library have been abandoned a long time ago. Song Zhixun is not an archaeologist, basically he doesn't know it at all.

The whole space is very normal and ordinary layout, the most luxurious bedroom in the temple that you can live in all the time, every room that you have never lived in has been cleaned, but...

"Have any important people lived here?" The facilities in some rooms are obviously very advanced, and there are adjacent and relatively close compartments for short rest. It is reasonable to consider that it is around the big people who live. A room used for short breaks for those who serve.

What really needs to be explored is the underground.

Just like there is only one door to enter the temple, there is only one way to the bottom, and the door is not blocked.

The moment the door was opened, unlike the magnificent temple, the strange smell that rushed towards him even stung Song Zhixun's eyes. Song Zhixun covered his mouth and nose for a while before he could barely get used to the strange smell.

"What's this smell?" In the country of steel itself, there is no such a pungent smell. Everything has been processed. The country of steel is basically a closed space. The result will be very polluted.

After entering the Rasteri Palace, what you smell is the smell of soil, plants, and flowers, but there is no such unpleasant smell. Could it be... the smell of rot?

The entire basement was pitch black. Song Zhixun turned on the communicator, and the communicator automatically adjusted the soft light to adapt to the dark environment. Song Zhixun looked down and saw an extremely deep staircase.

What is this place?It was only then that Song Zhixun realized that the stairs were elevated, and the surrounding area was caved in. If one accidentally fell down from here, he might die.

The entire staircase is connected to different platforms. Song Zhixun saw the first platform. After turning in, what he saw was a compartment separated by layers. The light of the communicator was extremely bright, basically under such light The shadows disappeared, and Song Zhixun could see clearly in every corner.

Each compartment is basically the same size, and all the compartments are open. There is a bed in the corner of the compartment, and the soft bedding can still be seen on the bed. Song Zhixun reached out to touch it, but the cotton wool was touching. The instant it touched it, it turned into ashes.

The time of existence here is as long as the naked eye can see.

The place here is huge, and the passage is very long. The compartments inside are all sealed, and the glass that should be transparent is covered with ashes. After wiping it with your hand, you can barely see what's inside.

Through the shadowy shadows, basically all the compartments were empty. Song Zhixun didn't want to move forward, but there were traces of wiping on the front glass.

Song Zhixun suddenly remembered that Issel and the others seemed to have come down before, did they wipe it at that time?When Song Zhixun came to the wiped place and illuminated the space, this time it was not empty, not only not, there were even things inside...

"That's..." Song Zhixun squinted his eyes, pressed it against the glass, and saw the object curled up in the corner of the wall through the dirty traces, "Skeleton?"

Song Zhixun didn't expect that, as Iser said, there were corpses here. He never thought that there were corpses under the temple where he lived during this time.

Song Zhixun gasped, took a few steps back, and bumped into the wall behind him, as if some mechanism had been triggered, and then the compartment behind him was opened, and the lights in the entire space instantly turned on, and everything was brightly lit.

Can this still be used?

In the compartment behind him, there is also a dried-up carrion, which has basically decomposed, leaving only the stubborn bones to maintain a kneeling posture. There are many photos hanging on the wall. Today's Steel Kingdom basically There are no such old items as photos on the Internet.

The person in the photo looks very young. It is a man and his family. The man's brows and eyes are soft, and he doesn't look like a treacherous person. Most of them are family photos, and there is no clue.

Song Zhixun knelt beside the skeleton, and reached out to open the cabinet next to the skeleton. There was a small notebook inside. Song Zhixun tried to open it carefully, but the paper was about to shatter under his care. Song Zhixun took a picture of the clearest and complete notebook on it. One of them is full of unfamiliar characters.

Found an automatic translation on the web, where the font above was translated.

"Daddy loves you, mommy-daughter-day 3098,-resurrection, god-"

The paper notebook was almost completely shattered by Song Zhixun's acceptance, and the words that could be seen clearly were also words that could not be put together into sentences. Song Zhixun frowned. Although it was not a sentence, God was indeed mentioned in it.

"Sorry." Song Zhixun apologized as he placed the broken notebook by the skeleton's leg.

Stand up and walk to the next space.

Except for the empty room in front, there is basically a skeleton in every room here, and there are as many as a hundred skeletons in the entire huge space.

The degree of corruption of everyone is basically the same, and it can be judged that they are people from the same period. This feeling is like suddenly all the people in the temple disappeared one day, and these guys who were imprisoned underground could not escape and starved to death here. .

"Is this also called a temple?" Song Zhixun suddenly became suspicious of this place.

Walking out of the aisle, Song Zhixun couldn't help but turn his head back. The miserable corpses made Song Zhixun inexplicably palpitated. If he didn't turn around to confirm, those corpses seemed to come alive and follow behind him.

Further down, Song Zhixun came to another partition, which is different from the cell above. This seems to be a laboratory, and the old experimental equipment is there quietly, and it will not respond at all even if it is opened. This kind of antique How could Song Zhixun use it?

"If it turns into ashes without touching it, it's considered a good lifespan. If it can still be used, it will be even more exaggerated." Song Zhixun wanted to open it, but Song Zhixun couldn't find the switch at all.

It is said that the temple is a thing of faith, why are there still these things under the temple?Could it be that while these guys believed in the existence of gods, they also doubted the existence of gods?

It would be great if Tongliao was here, maybe he could do something about these things.

But everything here is very strange. It doesn't seem like they left in an orderly manner after tidying up. Although it is still clean, traces of use can be seen everywhere. There are quite a lot of paper files here. Song Zhixun Don't dare to touch it too much, these papers seem to shatter as long as they are touched.

"It feels too bad here." Song Zhixun frowned. Being alone in this kind of place, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Although it is said that it is under the temple, when people are in it, they cannot determine which floor they are on. The stairs here seem to have changed, and it is impossible to count the exact number.

Song Zhixun didn't continue to explore, but continued down the stairs. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the stairs came to an end.

"This is already the deepest place?" Song Zhixun raised the communicator, and the strong light illuminated the place like daytime, which also hurt Song Zhixun's eyes, "What's going on, is there something wrong with the automatic adjustment? Why is the brightness so bright? high?"

However, the things that gradually lighted up inside made Song Zhixun understand why the adjuster was quickly increasing the brightness. It is unbelievable that there are several storage compartments inside. The monitor thinks that there is a problem with the brightness and continuously strengthens it.

There are not so many storage warehouses here, but there are twelve empty warehouses among them. Song Zhixun seems to vaguely know who these twelve empty warehouses belong to. Iser said that they released the twelve maids, and I am afraid they released them here. .

Who are the others?

Song Zhixun walked to the inside, looked up and saw the largest storage bin placed in the middle.

Everything here looks very dilapidated and crude, and the mechanical facilities are also very old, but the people in the storage warehouse are well preserved. The twelve maids who were still able to move at that time are a very good example. The twelve storage bins that were acquired are also very important evidence.

At that time, Iser and the others successfully released the twelve maids, why didn't they also release these people together?

Even the storage warehouse must have a class. Now in the storage warehouse with the largest and most complete facilities in front of you, there must be a very powerful person preserved.

Song Zhixun narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, and reached out to test all the buttons one by one to see if he could release the guys in the storage compartment.

Is it broken?

No matter pressing any button the machine has no response.

Song Zhixun looked around, hoping to find something that could destroy the storage compartment, but he couldn't find even a sturdy chair.

He reached out to grab the wire, but there was no response.

Could it be that it cannot be opened?

Song Zhixun gritted his teeth.

"knight!"

When the huge knight appeared in the dark world, his armor seemed to emit a faint light, which was out of place with everything around him. The silver-white long sword reflected Song Zhixun's shadow, and Song Zhixun saw the reflection of the sword body when he lowered his eyes Among them, what is in the storage compartment emitting light behind him.

It was a... girl.

The girl's complexion was as usual, as if she was asleep. She was naked and curled up in the huge storage. Her long hair was floating around, as if fixed in the ice. Her snow-white skin and beautiful face, They are all objects that people can't see and forget.

There is a young girl kept underground in the temple, which really opened Song Zhixun's eyes. He didn't have too much doubt when the twelve maids came out, but now it seems.

"What do you say that the three gods are all old virgins? In fact, they were not married eight lifetimes ago." Song Zhixun raised the corner of his mouth, and said the sarcastic words directly without going through the brain.

"Gods will not communicate with any human beings other than the Queen of God. Your Highness, Queen of God, please trust Her Majesty the Three Gods."

Song Zhixun squinted his eyes and looked at the knight. Although everything looked normal, Song Zhixun noticed that the knight was more nervous than usual. If the inner body covered by the armor was a human body, it would probably be covered in cold sweat.

"You're nervous." Song Zhixun found something very interesting, turned off the light of the communicator, and looked at the silver knight shining in the dark. Song Zhixun bent down, and the light on the knight vaguely reflected Song Zhixun's sarcasm. With a pale face, "My lovely knight, can you tell me, what are you nervous about?!"

"Subordinate..." This was the first time the knight choked up, and Song Zhixun knew that he might have stepped into a forbidden area this time.

"Who is this girl?" Song Zhixun sat next to the knight, looking down at the girl reflected in the sword, "Is it your boss?"

The knight lowered his head slightly, and the sound of the collision of armor and armor was particularly loud in the silent space. This collision clearly showed the panic in the knight's heart.

"Why don't you talk?" Song Zhixun didn't feel any displeasure at all. On the contrary, he can be said to be having fun now. Look at him, he has always been a very calm knight, but now he panicked like a child, "You didn't Closing the passage leading to the underground, even Iser and the others can easily come down, does it prove that this is not a secret that you intend to hide? Or in fact, these things are essentially things that were originally intended to be revived, Why are you dumb now?"

Song Zhixun's words almost hit the knight's spine directly, and the knight seemed to grit his teeth, not knowing how to reply.

"The temple was allowed by the gods to be built in the domain of the gods. It is impossible for the lower part of the temple to escape the control of the temple. In the end, it is just a place where the gods exist. You did not hide but just left it. It is conceivable Knowing that this place should be a very important place for you and...you can be called a place of pride?"

When Song Zhixun was searching for a cell similar to a prison, even if he didn't understand it, he vaguely noticed that something was wrong. All the cells were not set up very firmly, but the people inside did not show any signs of resistance. It is generally willing to be locked in it, even if it is to die of hunger.

In the records they have painstakingly recorded, there are quite a few words of "resurrection". If you make a bold guess, I am afraid that these people firmly believed that they could be resurrected before they died.

The entire temple has never been entered by human beings for countless times, so 'resurrection' and 'release' are impossible to complete, but Iser and others released the twelve maids.

"I have a guess." Song Zhixun squatted next to the knight, "Actually, Iser and the others did not intend to release the twelve maids on purpose, but after such a setting, right? The appearance of the twelve maids did not serve the temple. , but to ensure that my current environment is suitable for resurrecting this girl."

The knight still doesn't speak, but isn't the silence in this situation the so-called acknowledgment?Song Zhixun raised the corner of his mouth.

"You really don't have to worry too much, I'm just asking, after all..." Song Zhixun hugged the knight's helmet with both hands, and kissed the hard helmet with a smile, "I never believed that you are Those who are truly loyal to me cannot be said to be disappointed or not.”

The knight's body shook suddenly, he raised his head in a vain manner, and saw Song Zhixun's gaze. There was no fear or loss in that gaze, just like what he said, even though he wholeheartedly served His Royal Highness, but this Her Royal Highness, the Queen of God, has never really believed him.

He remained sober and skeptical about everything. Although he did his best to contribute to the Rasteri Palace, he was always testing the country of steel when he contributed.

The sense of disobedience that the knight has always felt is not just his illusion.

Not only did this Queen of God not believe in him, she also never believed in the Iron Kingdom, or...he never believed in gods either.

"Hush—" Song Zhixun stretched out his index finger to his mouth, his sly smile and gleaming pupils all told him how he manipulated and controlled everything, "Your gods have finally improved, if you know The truth of the matter will definitely be disappointing, and you don’t want your Highness to be disappointed, do you? So, let’s keep this matter as our secret, okay?”

The knight took a peek, and couldn't believe what kind of soul was hidden in the body of the God Empress in front of him.

"Subordinate, be loyal to Her Majesty the God Empress, wholeheartedly..." However, the knight knew that no matter how loyal he was, Her Majesty the God Empress would never believe him. Why?What is the reason?Where exactly are they, which makes His Highness the Queen of God have such a strong sense of defense?

"Knight, look, you've got me a handle, so I have to get a handle on you, too?" Song Zhixun didn't let the knight go like before this time, and he gently traced the knight with his hand. The gap connecting the armor's head and neck, nails pierced it with a smile, "Didn't you say you were loyal to me? You have been hiding it from me, haven't you?"

Song Zhixun's hand opened the so-called gap.

He wants to see the real face of this so-called knight under this helmet.
