"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" Bao La shouted, but received no reply. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Frightened servants, you look at me, I look at you for a few minutes, and it is not difficult to get the answer from their puzzled expressions. As the initiator of the search and rescue team, Geng Daquan also felt incredible about the scene in front of him, but he still found clues from the details of the scene, the people outside must have encountered a very urgent matter, so that someone actually dropped the oil lamp on the ground, it can be seen that they had reached a panicked place at that time, which is not difficult to explain why no one reported them.

The short-term encounter had forced Geng Daquan to give up, after all, what was happening now was completely beyond the limit of what they could bear, and if they continued to find it, it would definitely lead to immeasurable consequences.

"I don't think there's any need to look for any longer, so we're going to have to join them and get out of here." Geng Daquan took a deep breath and said.

Bao La turned his head to look at Geng Daquan, showing an irresistible determination on his face, and said without any hesitation: "Let's go." ”

The rest of the people walked through the dark corridor with torches that were almost exhausted, and by the time they reached the spiral corridor, they could already faintly see the light of the fire in front of them. Just as everyone was about to catch up and ask what was going on, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps in their ears, and when they listened carefully, they found that the sound was coming towards this side, because of the darkness, everyone could not determine the specific location, and as the sound got closer and closer, a figure appeared belatedly around the corner.

However, before everyone had time to see the full picture of this person, a white shadow followed, and a person and a shadow were about to erupt in the dark, and a scream of "bang" instantly filled the eardrums. In these few seconds, the person had died on the ground motionless, and when Geng Daquan and several people ran up to check, the blood hit their eyeballs like a gushing spring, and its culprit was already missing like a ghost. The servant who died tragically had multiple wounds on his body, all of which were suspected to have been bitten by dogs, and one of the things that killed him was a large hole in his abdomen, apparently caused by biting back and forth with his rodents.

No one was looking into what the white shadow they had just seen was, and nothing was more important in their minds than leaving here. More and more strange noises were heard in the darkness, and finally I came to the chapel, where the fire was so bright that many people had gathered here, all looking like bereaved dogs.

"What about the others?" Bao La looked at the frightened servant and realized at a glance that the number was wrong.

"I don't know, they're all scattered, and we don't dare to look for them anymore, so we can only wait here." Fusheng stepped forward with a torch and replied tremblingly.

"What the hell is it?" Bao La stared at Fusheng and asked.

"Everyone didn't see it clearly, only a white shadow was roughly seen."

"Didn't I tell you not to go it alone?" Bao Ra set his sights on everyone, hoping that someone would explain.

"Someone saw the maid Meizi, so they followed, and before anyone could catch up, we suddenly heard the screams of unknown people, and we looked back to see that there was blood flowing down the aisle,...... After shedding so much blood, he must have died. Fusheng explained incoherently.

All the evidence pointed to the white shadow, Geng Daquan had seen it before, but he didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, it could take people's lives in silence, if he had known about it, he would definitely mention ending this operation.

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, you have to take them out first." Geng Daquan stood up and said.

Fusheng asked strangely, "Mr. Daquan, aren't you leaving?" ”

"I......... I stayed and waited for the few people left. "Geng Daquan knows that he has an unshirkable responsibility for everything that happens here, I didn't kill Boren but Boren died because of me, he still has the courage to leave like this.

Everyone's eyes looked at Geng Daquan again, not understanding why he was risking his life to stay.

"Let's go, get out of this place of right and wrong."

On the eve of dawn, darkness shrouded Heard Manor, Geng Daquan watched Bao La walk out of the door of the Catholic Church with the servant, between a barren and weedy avenue, the flames made a "crackling" explosion sound in the fuel, without any warning, the white figure that brought fear to everyone reappeared in everyone's sight, compared with the previous afterimages, the white shadow under the firelight really revealed his hideous full appearance, his limbs were straight and slender, and his back was bent in a strange posture, The limbs are like a blind slave groveling in front of people, and the dry pale skin is like a bright moon, giving people a chilling sense of impact.

(Note 1: The Pale Demon, born of the evil thoughts of man, is an extremely twisted spirit, brutal and bloodthirsty by nature.) )

None of them expected that leaving the Cathedral would await them the first head-on encounter with the Pale Demon, who was so conspicuous in the night that it had no interest in ambushing its prey.

After a few jumps, they rushed into the crowd from a distance, and the chaos exploded in an instant, and everyone panicked, but there were already other pale demons waiting for an opportunity in the darkness. Some people shouted, others died under the claws of the pale demon before they could react, and it was a massacre without any suspense.

Geng Daquan saw that a few people were forced to leave the army in a panic, so he rushed out and shouted, "Come back!" ”

The servants who had escaped the hunt had seized the last straw and left as if they had made their last moves, running towards Geng Daquan, but another pale demon had his eyes on the poor group of people and was chasing after them, and in the blink of an eye, another person died, and there were only three or four people who had returned to the Cathedral.

If Geng Daquan led a few people to quickly close the door, everything returned to calm. The reborn people sat on the ground and wept in low voices, their eyes no longer able to hide their fear.

"Woo....... We have been abandoned. ”

"Put away your poor weakness, no one can save your tears.!" Now at this time, any words of comfort have no effect, Geng Daquan found out that Fusheng was also among several people, and asked, "How is Manager Bao?" ”

"The manager of Bao seems to have rushed out with people."

There is no doubt that Tiande Cathedral has still become a dangerous place, whether it is Gordon's research results or because of the changes brought about by Geng Daquan, it doesn't matter at the moment, now in his heart is how to get out alive.

If he could, Geng Daquan would be willing to rush out with the remaining few people in person, but he knew that the probability of survival was extremely low, and it was difficult for anyone to avoid the pursuit of the pale demon in an open place. For the first time, Geng Daquan felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he could only do everything possible to save their lives.

"Can you tell me exactly where you found the plum?" Geng Daquan asked Fusheng.

"Plum?" Fusheng didn't understand why Geng Daquan mentioned her, but replied: "When I chased over, I came to a study, but I didn't find anything............ But the place I still remember. ”

"Can you take me to that place now?"

"But it's okay, but it's just the two of us who are afraid ..........." Fusheng's words don't need to be said anymore.

Geng Daquan turned to the group and asked, "Do any of you want to go with me?" ”

There was no chief Bao La, and several people all chose to remain silent, so how could they be willing to risk their lives to save others when they escaped from the door of death.

"Mr. Big Circle, it's safer for us to stay here and wait for the boss to come and save us." It was the eldest of the men who spoke.

"Of course, but you have to think clearly that we don't know anything about them, and since the Catholic Church already exists, no one can say for sure that they won't find it." Geng Daquan explained.

"I still reserve my opinion."

"What about you?"

"I'm willing to follow Mr. Big Circle!" The first to speak was Fusei.

"Okay, but I wonder what you're going to do?" This is a young man.

Geng Daquan turned his gaze back to everyone and said in an extremely serious tone: "No one wants to put themselves in danger, but if danger has come, blindly avoiding it is the most stupid way. ”

Perhaps it was Geng Daquan's language that worked, or maybe the crisis of death forced them to make a compromise, and in the end they were all willing to listen to Geng Daquan's command. The Catholic Church in the dark has now become a hell full of evil and death, and the religious buildings of the 18th century have been endowed with a terrifying magic from a mysterious world.

Along the way, several people were all soldiers, and the danger they thought did not appear, Geng Daquan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked Fusheng: "Is this here?" ”

Fusheng nodded, pushed open the door, and said, "I heard someone outside the door indeed entering. ”

Geng Daquan walked in, the house was lit by the firelight, the floor was covered with human footprints, a bed was placed next to the window, the bed was messily covered with white sheets, and the long absence had stained it with black spots, and a Bible was quietly placed on the bedside cabinet.

A striking paper cut appeared in Geng Dahuan's gaze, which was placed in the middle of the Bible, and when it was opened, a few lines of black and white handwriting came into view, Old Testament chapter 13, page 50; The Lord opened the bottomless pit, and detained them in eternal darkness with iron chains,..... and they demanded to live, but they were not to live; They were willing to die, but they were far from them, and when the Lord Jesus returned, they would be resurrected, and spirit, soul, and body would be united and finally part of the New Jerusalem.

Miss Hutton? She seems to have reappeared after she had disappeared, but Geng Daquan couldn't confirm that this paper-cut must have been left by her, if it was left by her, then what was it directing?

Just as Geng Daquan was still thinking about the meaning of this passage in the Bible, he suddenly heard a self-muttering voice that seemed to be laughing but not laughing, a charming and strange female voice.

"Someone under the bed?" Someone was the first to exclaim.

The sudden sound also startled Geng Daquan, and under their incredible gaze, Geng Daquan was possessed, and under the firelight, there was really a pair of slender hands under the bed.

"Lift the bed out of my way." Geng Daquan commanded and watched her reaction cautiously.

"Oh my God! It's really a plum. ”

On the floor, Meizi lay quietly as if she was asleep, and there was no difference in her appearance, Geng Daquan tried to wake her up, but the moment the bed was removed, her eyes had already opened, and there was a light that no one had ever seen.

"Plums." Geng Daquan said softly.

However, at this moment, Meizi suddenly burst into tears, she hugged Geng Daquan with both hands, and tears dripped on his white robe.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Here he is again.............. Alack...... He said he was coming to arrest me. ”

"Who's going to arrest you?"

"I'm arresting you............." Meizi continued to repeat these words, and it could be seen that she was in a desperate panic at the moment.

After a stalemate of about ten minutes, Geng Daquan could only give up learning more about the disappearance from her. Despite this, he still found some clues, and the missing person must have heard some kind of call to come to Tiande Cathedral, an irresistible call. What prompted it to happen, and who was calling them?

"Mr. Big Circle, I hope you can come and have a look!" Fusheng stood at the window and said suddenly.

Geng Daquan handed over the plum to the other servants, walked over without knowing it, and with Fusheng's gaze, he found that there was a firelight on the opposite side.

"Where is the lighthouse area?" Geng Daquan asked after confirming the fact of the bright light.

"Can't be wrong, Manager Bao said that we are a work area here, and it must be a lighthouse area opposite."

"Are any of you on which side?"

"All of us are here, and the lighthouse area hasn't sent anyone over yet, of course, it's possible that someone who ran away here before strayed into the lighthouse area by mistake." After Fusheng explained, he asked, "Could it be the manager of Bao?" ”

"Probably not, Governor Bao Ra won't go to the lighthouse area even if he doesn't leave, he'll just flee farther away from here." Geng Daquan ruled out the possibility of wrapping them, and the only ones left were the few servants who had run away before.

No matter who is in the lighthouse area, Geng Daquan feels obliged to make a trip, but Meizi's condition has become a problem, he originally planned to leave Meizi in the worship area, where is a safer place, but everything has two sides, if the pale demon breaks in, she will definitely die.

Geng Daquan knew that it was impossible to enter from the periphery, and only direct access to the lighthouse area from the work area was the best solution.
