1053 Duke of Figner

Leaving the small study and continuing to walk deeper into the labyrinth, the "memory of the maze" that has been honed by years of gaming experience avoids the path taken when I came, and chooses the path that leads to the interior.

The glass walls here are dizzying, and it's easy to get lost. But for Lin Chi, it's not a big deal.

What he was more worried about was the patrol that might appear in the labyrinth.

It was impossible for this temple to be without other caretakers, and as Lin Chi expected, he had only walked a few steps before he heard heavy footsteps in the labyrinth.

Before he could see the other party's appearance, Lin Chi had already walked quickly to the other side of the maze, avoiding the guy's range of movement.

Regardless of whether the person patrolling the maze is hostile or not, his current physical condition can be said to have no chance of winning a head-on battle. As a result, the situation in the maze becomes something like a game of cat and mouse.

At this time, Lin Chi felt like the protagonist of the classic old game "Pac-Man", and he was evading the monsters chasing him while looking for usable information in the maze.

The man who was patrolling the other side of the maze didn't seem to be moving fast. Although Lin Chi made a sound when he walked, the other party didn't seem to notice Lin Chi's existence and was still walking unhurriedly.

Realizing that the other party hadn't chased after him, Lin Chi breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously walked forward in the maze, looking for any information that might be a clue along the way.

Bypassing a dark blue glass wall, the withered "old rascal" dragged his transformed body through the labyrinth, and on a glass wall, he saw something noteworthy.

It was a portrait framed in a pitch-black frame, with a bust of an old man drawn with delicate brushstrokes, hanging on the wall with a condescending smile at Lin Chi.

The old man was dressed in a white robe, looking like a missionary or something, and his thin hand was holding a book with a golden cover, his expression was unusually kind, and his face seemed to have the four big characters "Pudu Sentient Beings" written on it.

Lin Chi stood in front of the frame and stared at the silver text inscribed on the lower edge of the frame:

"Duke of Figner. Great lord, explorer, messenger of the gods. ”

"He frees us from our wounds, He gives us eternity."

- Isn't this a "god of God"?

Recalling what he had seen and heard in Sodom City, Lin Chi realized that things were not simple. Judging from the "explorer" and "messenger of the gods" in the introduction, the old man in the portrait may be the one who brought the two angels back to the temple.

In other words, the paper scroll I got before may have been written by this Duke of Figner. If this guy is the lord of the city, it seems normal for the portrait to appear here. But......

Is this painting hanging a little crookedly?

Noticing some unnatural details, Lin Chi took a step back and found that the portrait was indeed slightly tilted to the left, as if it had been moved by someone.

In the case of a puzzle game, this will happen, which means that the clues are hidden behind the portrait.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi decisively took off the painting, turned the frame over, and saw a few lines of dark characters written on the reverse side of the portrait:

"Don't be deceived, this old man is just an evil fool who has ruined our temple by his arbitrariness."

"The guards don't allow us to tell the truth, so I can only secretly write the truth in this kind of place. If you want to know exactly what this old man did, go and look for his portrait, the evidence is there. ”

After reading the text written on the back of the portrait, Lin Chi hung the portrait back, and he was still a little confused, but he immediately determined the next target of action - to find the portrait of Duke Feigna.

Since the situation was not clear, he naturally did not trust the words behind the portrait, nor did he fully trust the contents of the paper scroll. Instead, it was decided to gather clues before judging the situation in the temple.

But before you do that, make sure you can get out alive......

"Boom!"

The sound of dull footsteps sounded not far behind him, and the patrolmen seemed to have reached this side of the labyrinth. Lin Chi didn't have time to continue investigating the portrait, so he could only choose to run forward.

The reflection of "Tim the Long Knife" is reflected in the dark blue glass, and the body is twisted and distorted on the wall, as if to suggest something. Lin Chi's pace became faster and faster, and his body seemed to be a little lighter than before.

“……”

He opened the attribute bar and looked at it, and was surprised to find that his physical attributes were rising, from the original failing state to the level of 10 points.

Is the increase in attributes caused by physical modification, or is it something else? Whatever the reason for this to happen, it's better to run away now......

Walking quickly through the maze, dodging the unknown pursuers behind him, and running for about a minute, an arched metal door suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chi's eyes, which looked very heavy.

Listening to the footsteps of the patrolmen getting closer and closer, Lin Chi didn't have time to think about anything else, so he stood directly in front of the door and pushed hard.

The unlocked door began to slowly open inward. The space inside the door was pitch black, and no light source was visible.

Lin Chi walked directly into the dark space behind the door, turned around and closed the door, and shut the patrol out.

He didn't know if the gate would stop the patrolmen, but he couldn't do that much now. I've at least arrived in a new area, where I should be able to find other clues.

- Is there a light source?

Standing in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Lin Chi looked left and right looking for something that could make light, and a burning smell in the air stimulated his nasal cavity, accurately indicating the existence of combustibles here.

Whether it's a candlestick or a torch, it can provide a bright light source, and as long as you follow the pungent smell, you should be able to find it-

Lin Chi groped the darkness with both hands and walked forward slowly. It wasn't long before he felt something slender and cold.

He reached down and made sure he was touching an uneven wall, and as for what was used to stitch the wall, it seemed to be a large amount of white bone.

"Is that what the so-called Ossuary mean?"

Lin Chi thought secretly in his heart, leaned against the wall and walked steadily, and began to explore this strange human bone church in the dark.

Clang!

The deafening loud noise continued to echo in the dark space, and it also had a long echo, which made Lin Chi a little dizzy.

The sound sounded like a bell, with the effect of "magic sound filling the ears", Lin Chi leaned against the wall and stopped, and the rhythmic bell rang again.

Could it be that the time for pilgrimage has come?

Before he could figure out what was going on, Lin Chi heard heavy breathing in the dark "temple".
