Chapter 36: I Know You're Coming
There was no waiting, no maneuvering, nothing to conspire with, they were as arrogant as ever, never caring about other people's opinions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Bloodline should be burned to death now. Immediately. Right away.
I reckon if it weren't for the fact that I had to wait for the cardinal named Auerbach, this matter might have been done last night.
I took a deep breath and said where is the old ghost locked up?
Kim said that there are more than 100 people guarding the underground palace below Notre Dame Cathedral, and all the procedures are quite strict, making it difficult to enter it through the normal passages.
My heart moved, and I said that there was an abnormal passage. Right?
Kim is right, in the 80s of the last century. There will be a major renovation of Notre Dame Cathedral with a full ventilation system, so it should be feasible to sneak in from there, and as for whether there will be trouble, this depends on the craftsmanship of Mr. olecranon.
The man with glasses smiled and said don't worry, the security of the Louvre is much stronger than that of Notre Dame Cathedral.
I said how do you get in?
Kim said buy a ticket and go in.
I said? Retired brother.
I was really stunned, what the hell is buying a ticket, how can you enter a place guarded by so many people?
Kim explained, "There are at least four passages into the dungeon, but they are heavily guarded. We don't have the strength to break into it, and if we want to sneak in, we have to go through the ventilation system I just mentioned, and this loophole will definitely be considered by the church, so it is the only way to enter from the inside, which is the safest - in order to receive the admiration of the congregation and the need to make it public. Notre-Dame Cathedral will open the basement for the public to see, of course, that's only part of it, and we need to go through there and get into their ventilation system. ā
Oh......
It turned out to be this truth, I nodded and expressed my understanding, and then the man with glasses looked at the time and suddenly said: "If this is the case, we estimate that we have to hurry up, the time for visiting the basement is from ten o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the afternoon, and half an hour before closing, no one can enter, and it is already five o'clock in the afternoon." ā
We didn't wait any longer, Kim dragged the rosacea into a cabinet and sealed it, and led us away.
I was a little worried, and said he was asleep like that, okay?
Kim smiled and said that it was okay, he would not be able to wake up until tomorrow at the earliest, and no matter what the success or failure of our actions were, the results would come out tomorrow.
The trio bypassed the vast vestibule square and entered the glorious Notre-Dame Cathedral area, where they bought tickets and entered the basement under the leadership of the man with glasses.
I saw that guy was familiar with the road, and I couldn't help but ask, "You've been here before?"
The man with glasses nodded casually, and said yes, when he stepped on the dot before......
Halfway through his speech, he closed his mouth meaningfully, and then I remembered that this Comrade Kao Yubiao beside me was not only a clever and good craftsman, but also a thief who was famous with Cardinal Auerbach.
Dare to love these guys, one of them counts as one, they are all more famous than me, and the reason why people are willing to come over is not to save my face.
They just wanted to show me around.
Notre-Dame Cathedral is a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, starting from 1163, it took more than 180 years, until 1345 before it was really built, after four generations of architects, as well as generations of stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, carvers, glass carvers of painstaking efforts, go forward and succession, and finally make this world-famous great building into a national symbol of France, altars, cloisters, doors and windows and bamboo carvings and paintings are full of artistic wisdom of the French people, It is also famous for its vast collection of art treasures.
For the man with glasses, this is like a mouse falling into a rice tank, but I am worried about the old ghost, but I don't have the leisure to look at these buildings full of history.
The three of them entered the basement exhibition area, turned to a corner where no one was around, saw the vent above, and climbed straight up.
The glasses man played as a striker, followed by Kim, and finally me.
The three of them disappeared into the basement like ghosts, then bent down and crawled through the narrow passage.
The man in glasses scouted the way in front of him, looking for any tricks, while Kim showed the way behind him, and so on, and after about a quarter of an hour, we came to a transit passage.
There are a number of mesh vents under the transit passage, from which you can see the scene below.
There was an altar directly in front of it, and on top of it, there were a dozen crosses.
Most of the cross was tied to people, and at the forefront, I saw the figure of the old ghost.
The moment I saw the old ghost, my heart jumped suddenly.
This is not a complete old ghost, he was stripped naked, he left a pair of boxers to cover his shame, the strong muscles of his body are covered with countless whip marks and bloody mouths like baby lips, the body that was originally full of explosive power was tortured to death, his head was lowered, because he was tied with a strip of cloth, so I don't know whether he fell asleep, or closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for the last moment to come.
At this moment, is he desperate in his heart?
Just like me when I was besieged by countless demons in the Five Poisons Sect that day, I was helpless?
I subconsciously touched the stubble on my forehead.
My freshly shaved hair has an inexplicable tingling sensation, and I don't know why, but I personally like it, because it allows me to calm down and quickly become calm.
After a while, I asked Kim if the cardinal archbishop had come to watch the execution.
Kim said it was seven o'clock in the evening, if it was on time.
Seven o'clock, that is, only more than half an hour to prepare.
I leaned down again at the vent pipe, and looked down through the gap and saw a lot of people busy around the altar, some checking the oil and some checking the utensils and the associated seats, and some people were on guard.
I thought about it for a moment and asked, "If we go down to save people, will we still be able to get out of the ventilation ducts?" ā
The man with glasses denied it without thinking: "Impossible, once the other party notices that we have infiltrated through the ventilation duct, they will definitely turn off all the ventilation systems, block the route, and then just wait for the rabbit." ā
I looked at Kim and said what do you say?
Kim didn't hesitate, and said directly: "There are four external passages in the underground palace of Notre Dame, in addition to the VIP passage and the two clergy passages, there is also a living passage, on the southwest side, which is specially responsible for transporting supplies to it, and the exit there is near the Seine, we rescued people, so we went out from there - Brother Biao, give you five minutes to go, pick us up at the living passage, and I will go down with Brother Wang to save people." ā
The man with glasses was drunk back and forth, and he was very unwilling, but he vaguely believed that this young man really had an IQ close to three hundred, so he had to follow.
Even so, his mouth was still babbling complaining words, and he looked depressed with his IQ.
As soon as the man in glasses left, Kim moved, and led me to a nearby vertical downward passage, where there was a huge ventilation fan, embedded in the wall, blowing air into it.
Kim got a packet of powder out of his pocket, put on plastic gloves, twisted a little crystalline powder with his index finger and thumb, and sprinkled it into the fan little by little.
What is it, I asked?
Kim smiled and said a little bit of a high-concentration purified hallucinogen.
I was amazed and said, how could you possibly have something so high?
Kim's face turned cold, and he said word by word: "When I escaped from Westminster Abbey, I took some things that I thought might come in handy in the future, and now I use them here, which can be regarded as a tooth for a tooth!" ā
I saw that his expression was a little hideous, and I knew that he remembered the torture and pain he had suffered in the past, and did not speak again.
Kim sprinkled the small packet of crystalline powder for about two minutes, then took out an unmarked eye drop bottle, lit it under his nose, and handed it to me, saying you can have some too.
I took it and put a drop on my nose, and suddenly a foul smell rushed to heaven, first a dizziness, then a light in my eyes, and the whole world became clear.
I shook my head vigorously and said what is this?
Kim suddenly smiled on his face, and said high concentration of ammonia, you take this thing, and give it to your brother later, I guess he was also affected by hallucinogens.
I carefully put away the ammonia, and then, at Kim's suggestion, I stopped the high-speed rotating fan blades with the Crusader Blood Knife, and the two of them bent down and drilled through the gap, then removed the iron net outside, and jumped to the ground one after another.
When I went down to the underground palace, I found that it was a large space, which was said to be an altar, but it felt like a classical theater.
Kim's hallucinogens worked, and everyone in the space became abnormal, some were spinning in circles, some were kneeling on the ground and singing hymns, and some were holding another priest.
Hallucinogens unleash all the fantasies in their hearts.
Ignoring all the mess, I walked quickly to the altar and saw that the old ghost's body was shaking like chaff, apparently under the influence of hallucinogens.
I put two drops of concentrated ammonia under the old ghost's nose, and after a few seconds, his body finally stopped shaking.
I shouted excitedly, "Old ghost, old ghost, are people awake?" ā
Lao Wang?
The old ghost's expression became excited, I didn't hesitate any longer, swung out the long knife, cut off the shackles on the old ghost's hand, and put him down on the cross, the old ghost ripped off the strip of cloth covering his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I knew you would come!" ā
I gently pounded his chest, and was about to say something, when Kim suddenly whispered a warning, "Someone's coming, a big wave!" ā
