The elevator descended rapidly, and the surroundings were plunged into pitch black, except for the slightly thick wheezing sound of Gus.

"Gus, are you scared?"

Old Hank's slightly teasing voice came.

"I'm afraid? Will I be afraid? ”

As the flat-headed brother among the awakened, of course Gus will not be cowardly, even if he is panicked in his heart.

"You may not be afraid, but ...... I'm scared. ”

Old Hank raised his arm, his hand was shaking, he had been in the execution for decades, and Old Hank more or less knew what was in the basement.

"You can quit now."

In the dark, Su Xiao spoke.

“……”

The three of Gus were silent, and the choice they made now was related to their future life and death.

"You're going to die after using those things."

As soon as Su Xiao's words fell, the elevator stopped, and he pushed away the iron railings, and the flickering firelight illuminated his side face.

Old Hank lowered his eyes and followed with a sinister smile, and Reinhardt lifted his footsteps, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped out of the elevator.

Gus rubbed his fingers and spat hard in the elevator before stepping along.

Su Xiao stood in front of an alloy door nearly five meters high, this alloy door was open, there were three keyholes in the lower middle, and a line of words was engraved on the top, which was the oldest script in the empire.

We walk in darkness for the sake of those who yearn for peace – Hugh Losnendle. ’

Three keys are inserted into the keyhole and click......

The key rotated automatically, and with a muffled bang, the metal door slowly opened, and it was pitch black inside the crack of the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

The muffled sound came from the depths of the darkness, and even with the concentration of Old Hank and the others, they couldn't help but have a dry throat and stare at the darkness in the crack of the door.

"Inside...... Got a living thing? ”

Gus's cheeks twitched, and he could tell from the dust on the door that it might not have been opened in years.

"Of course there is, and there is more than one, and this is not only a storage room, but also a prison in the deepest part."

As for how long the prison sentence is, Su Xiao didn't say that there is only one sentence in this prison, which is to be locked up until death.

Su Xiao clasped the edge of the metal door with one hand, the muscles on his back bulged slightly, and after some hard friction sounds, the gap in the metal door was enough for a person to pass through.

Su Xiao hooked his hand, and Reinhardt handed him a piece of stuff wrapped in oiled paper, which contained a piece of fresh meat with blood in it.

Tearing open the oilcloth bag, Su Xiao threw the fresh meat into the basement.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The impact was even more violent, and one after the other, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"No problem."

Su Xiao's hand reached into the door, and after groping for a while, he pressed the mechanism, and for a while, the light in the basement lit up.

Su Xiao was the first to enter the basement, which was very depressing, like a long corridor, about six or seven meters wide, with metal shelves on both sides, and many strange things were placed on it.

More than ten meters ahead, metal pillars the thickness of buckets blocked the way, and it was pitch black behind.

Su Xiao came to the metal shelf on the side, which was full of all kinds of items, with an average quality between the golden ~ legendary level, either equipment or one-time consumable props.

These things have two things in common, they can't be brought out of this world in any way, and they have great side effects when used, these things are called 'relics' by the Empire, and most of them are produced from Spectres or Awakened Ones.

A simple 'relic' cannot be used directly, nor does it have too special abilities, and needs to be 'processed' to become a storable and powerful relic.

The lives of 5000~20000 civilians are about equal to the production cost of a relic, for unknown reasons, ghosts cannot become the filler of 'relics', all 'relics' are handed down from the Dark Ages, and now the empire has banned the production of 'relics', human life is not worth much in that era, as long as it can deal with ghosts, more cruel ways have been used by the empire.

With the development of civilization, the inhumane manufacturing process of 'relics' is strictly forbidden, not to mention manufacturing, just exploring the manufacturing method will be sentenced to death.

Su Xiao picked up a mass of rotten flesh-like 'relics', this thing is called 'Spore Gate', which contains a large number of spores of unknown species, after the awakened person inhales, it will stimulate the energy in the body, resulting in a controllable awakening rage, exerting 100% of the combat power of the awakening degree in a short period of time, and there is a small chance of death after use, and a large chance of integrating the 'Spore Gate' into the body, causing the awakening degree to increase at a rate of several times, and finally turning into a demon.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao threw the 'Spore Gate' to Gus, the other party was more suitable for this kind of 'relic' that broke out in a short time.

After briefly explaining the purpose of the 'Spore Gate' to Gus, the corners of Gus's eyes twitched.

"Sir, I used this...... How strong will it be? ”

"You can fight the twelve-eyed ghost in a short time."

"So...... Good? ”

Gus's eyes widened, without fear, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"How do you use this thing?"

"Swallow when you use it."

"Uh~," Gus was stunned, he also thought that some kind of ritual was going to be carried out, in fact, the relics were very down-to-earth, and the method of use was simple and rude.

After searching the shelves, Su Xiao took out a finger-long medicine bottle, which contained a white powder, this relic was called 'ashes', in fact, it was not ashes, but pollen left by some kind of plant, which was mixed with the blood of a demon.

The effect of 'ashes' is also very simple and rude, take out a small amount and apply it to the skin, ignore the pain for a period of time, and greatly enhance the recovery power, and the side effect is that if you use it too much, you will permanently lose your sense of touch.

This thing is suitable for Reinhardt, how strong the opponent's ability is, not depends on how strong the stored current is, but the body's ability to withstand it, if Reinhardt discharges the current with all his might, he can cause a power outage in one-tenth of the area of Zur City, you know, Zur City is a large city with more than 6 million people.

As for Old Hank, the relic he received was very special, it was a short knife of strange shape, the handle of which resembled the hand bones of a hand, and judging from the charred hand bones, it seemed to have been burned.

This relic is called 'Grey Lady', it is made of the bones of ghosts + awakened people, how sharp this bone knife is, it depends on the user's awakening, and there is a kind of poison on its blade, which will cause blood necrosis of the injured person, during use, the user will age at a rate of hundreds of times, this thing is used by old Hank, and this is a 'relic' of his own choice.

It can be said that in the state of using relics, the sins of the three of them cannot withstand the siege of the three of them, which is the power of using relics, and the cost is even greater.

Su Xiao also took a relic from the metal shelf, but he couldn't use it, and the relic could only be used by the Awakened.

With a deafening roar, the iron door of the basement slowly closed.

"One last chance, return the relics now, take 10,000 gold and leave, and after signing the confidentiality agreement, I will provide you with a new identity."

This is the second time Su Xiao has said something similar, and when he entered the elevator before, he asked the three of them.

“……”

Silence, still the same as the last one.

"Very well, keep looking for the eye chambers, and those who block will be killed."

When there was a bang, the elevator fell, Su Xiao entered the elevator, since the contractor in the shadows had already made a move, then he would let three monsters out, among which Reinhardt was the strongest, after the other party used the relic, Su Xiao had to avoid its edge, so as not to be electrocuted, if there was a thunderstorm recently, Reinhardt might be good for the fourteen-eyed ghost, but he would definitely die after the war.
