Chapter Ninety-Three: The Steel Golem
“…… Tut. ”
Nightmar removed her hand from the mechanism, and the masonry embedded in the wall slowly popped out, and the rectangular entrance to the chamber closed.
This kind of mechanism really needs human life, and someone has to guard it here, and the people who guard it must be trusted. I don't know if the previous adventure group ran away because the people guarding here ran away, so the rest of the people ...... Thinking of this, Yelu glanced at the entrance to the basement that had been completely closed, and fell into deep thought.
"Noor, what do you say? Shall we go down and see...... It hurts, it hurts. ”
Breaking free from the half-dreaming state, Yexi's eyes gradually regained their brightness and slowly returned to normal, except for the headache.
"Well, I have to go down." Noor nodded firmly, and then he asked again puzzled, "Yexi, how did you know that there was a mechanism here?" ”
"It's ...... Well, you're going to be a guess. ”
The night bell gently touched the temples, the headache hurt, and I felt that the tendons in my brain were about to be broken.
"Even if I tell you, you won't understand." Ye Xi silently swallowed this sentence back into her stomach.
This is a profile, through the collection of evidence, based on the traces left by the predecessors, to infer his psychological state and behavior mode, and reproduce.
Profiling is one of the main methods of psychological profiling, which belongs to criminal psychology.
At first, the master of Yeyu taught him this just to increase the success rate of his assassination target. Through the environment in which the target lives and the information left by life, he substitutes himself into the target's way of thinking, and slowly deduces the person's work and rest habits.
Yexi's imagination is strong, strong enough to make people feel uncomfortable with the sense of disobedience, and every one of his profiles is almost completely correct. The simulated battle of the night is so realistic, and it can even cause harm to itself, which may also be because his mental power is too high.
"Oh......"
Noir looked at the night cup curiously, and since he wouldn't say anything, forget it.
As the captain of the team, Nuo Er decided after careful consideration: "Shu Xiaosheng, please stay here and guard the entrance as a response." Yejun and I went in and explored, and if we found something wrong, we would come out as soon as possible. If it's dark, we won't be back...... Go back to the Adventurers' Guild and ask for support. ”
"Understood."
Shu Xiaosheng nodded, came to Yexi, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Stay safe, stay alive."
"You too, I feel that something is very wrong here, I always feel that someone is going to sneak up on you......"
"Don't flag me! You're not some purple-haired person. ”
A small mark was made on the mechanism, and Shu Xiaosheng made sure that she would not make a mistake and then pushed the masonry.
The boom rang out again, and the basement entrance was open.
Noel exhaled slightly, the will emanating from his eyes became more and more firm, and he raised his hand to perform the "Divine Technique: Radiance Technique". A bright ball appeared in front of him, floating above his head and shining all around.
Ye Yu was a little glad that it was not a green light.
"Let's go."
Noel strode towards the dark spiral passage, Nighttime following closely behind, ready to respond to the enemy.
Although the passage is narrow, the space becomes wider and wider as it goes deeper. I don't know if it's because of the visual effect of the spiral corridor, or because of the weird spatial distribution of the architectural design.
The air in the basement was not well circulated, and the pungent smell in the air became stronger as I moved my footsteps.
At the bottom of the spiral passage, they were greeted by a corpse.
Noor's expression became a little complicated.
It wasn't the first time he had seen a dead body, and he had punished the wicked with his own hands, but the scene in front of him still made him feel sick.
Radiance lit up the surroundings, and black blood stains soaked half of the main hall. The corpse at his feet was, to be exact, part of the corpse. Only one arm was attached to half of the chest, and the organs were rolled up to be exposed.
"Huh? It's ......"
Disapproving, Yelu crouched down and picked up a red card next to the stump full of cracks.
Adventurer's Guild's hedroon card.
Looking around, based on the angle of the blood splatter, Nightshade was able to determine that the man was running away. When he finally managed to run to the spiral passage leading to the entrance, he was attacked and torn apart.
Is this artificial? Still is......
Putting away the spar card, Yelu put the illusion dagger against his waist, and cheered up his spirit.
Walking towards the front, Yeyu glanced around and looked around. It's strange to say, it's an ancient city, but there is a basement here. Not only that, but the basement was full of pipes and valves, the valves were tightly closed, and the floor was covered with iron filings...... Have these valves been used?
"Night, Night-King, do you think this is ......?"
Following Noor's exclamation, Nightshade turned her head to look over.
At the end of the main hall of the basement is a black iron door that connects to the wall. The door connects to the basement and extends outward.
Countless ancient alchemy machines surrounded it, mottled rust covering the iron door like maggots, and the ground was covered with iron chains. The chains were supposed to seal the entire door, but now they were all broken, and the door was open a crack.
It wasn't the awe-inspiring black iron gate that amazed Noor, but the oracle engraved on the chains.
The meaning of these oracles is unknown today, and they are only recorded in the oldest holy texts. The words of those holy texts have long been lost and no one has been able to translate them. However, it is worth mentioning that the users of oracles are...... Priesthood Church.
Noel gently stroked the iron door, but there was no doorknob and he couldn't push it open.
In the crack of the iron door, he smelled a strong fishy smell.
"Yejun, the door can't be opened."
"Got it. You wait, I'll try. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and walked to the other side of the main hall to find the valve where the rust was most noticeably peeling.
Spiritual gauntlets, the night bowl grabbed both sides of the valve and turned it in a clockwise direction. The valve opened and closed, and the copper pipe spit out thick steam with a muffled sound, and the steam-stained Yayu bowed her head slightly, fortunately wearing a hood and a mask.
With a heavy muffled sound, the black iron gate slowly opened.
"The door is open, how did you do it?"
"You're so curious, are you naughty? Wait, hey, hey—Nol get out of there! ”
Yelu wanted to complain about whether Nuo Er had ever seen the blue cat naughty three thousand and asked, but in the light of Nuo Er's Radiance Technique, he saw a shadow emerge from the white dense steam, a ...... A hideous demonic figure!
Noor, who was distracted by the oracle of the chains, looked back.
"God......" Noor's heartbeat seemed to slow down by half a beat.
The fierce cyan iron face was almost in front of him. A dizzying smell of blood came from the monster's body. If the crack in the iron door was just a wisp of fresh wind, Noel was now standing in the bloody rain.
Yelu wanted to go over to support Noor, but suddenly the mountains shook, and even his balance was staggered, not to mention Noor, who was scared a lot. Noel stumbled to the ground, looking up at the Iron Demon.
A giant steel golem stood behind the giant gate, its body wrapped around its body with a golden cross and delicate alchemy pipes, like a holy seal after a baptism of light.
It looked so majestic, but the cyan iron surface flowed with a cold cold light. The steel golem's dark eyes were empty, and Noel felt like he was peering into the abyss, and he felt like he was being ...... Something unknown is staring at.
The next moment, the sharp black iron cone pierced through the iron door that had not yet been fully opened—stabbing towards Noor.
