"Having said that, where to start...... Xia Chiyu glanced around at the cathedral.

It looked like there was a wedding going on here, with flowers all over the place, and a large cake on the table that had been moldy and rotten for a long time, but the yellow-green slime and the dried and blackened blood stains everywhere still made the place unusually gloomy, and there were no corpses.

Something seemed to suddenly happen during the wedding, and people in the cathedral swarmed out, so the benches in the church fell to the ground horizontally and looked messy.

"Are you feeling better? If I don't mind, I like to solve this puzzle as much as possible, otherwise our character will stay stuck here until one day he is killed by a mob. Xia Chiyu turned to the three Emily behind him and asked.

Emily nodded reluctantly, and stood up with Thomas and Donna on her feet, and the group wandered around the hall of the church to take a preliminary look at the situation. It's a very large church, almost the size of a high school, and obviously the puzzle is not so easy this time.

"Well, that's the way it is now." Xia Chiyu pointed to the gate directly in front of them and said, "The main door leading to the depths of the church is locked from the inside, and the side doors on both sides can be walked." ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu pointed to Su Xing and said, "You stay here, if those things break through the gate, you send a summon to inform us, and I and the second swordsman will go to the side to try to solve the puzzle here." As for the three of you......" Xia Chiyu looked at Donna and the three of them, "You can do it yourself, just don't die." ”

But then Xia Chiyu found out how stupid his words were, he could have dealt with monsters with only one person's blood, but now he had to deal with two-level monsters.

"Why don't you feel scared, even if it's a game, we're still in it." Emily asked as she followed Xia Chiyu, still looking around very uneasily.

In fact, the level of Emily's group is also between fifty-eight and sixty, and it can be said that the level of training to this level is definitely not too low, but they are all stupefied by the terrifying atmosphere created by the game.

"My sense of substitution is relatively poor, and it's not easy to be immersive." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, in fact, the deeper the understanding of the game, the less fun the game will be. Back then, like Emily and the others, it was easy for him to substitute himself into the game. But now, he knows too much about the game system, so the perspective of things has changed.

What's more, Xia Chiyu is very confident in his ability, no matter how terrifying the monster's appearance is, he believes that he can handle it. Of course, the key to this scenario battle is puzzle solving, and most battles can be avoided. The two of them walked forward in the hallway of the church, where there were no lighting tools, and the moonlight from the window made the corridor glow white.

"I reckon this hallway should be able to go around the back of the main entrance somehow, or some kind of mechanism that can open the lock behind the main entrance." Xia Chiyu groaned, carefully observing the situation around him.

They continued on, and a few moments, before they reached the end of the hallway, a door suddenly appeared on the side.

"It's not locked." Xia Chiyu pushed the doorway, and Emily asked behind him, "Do you want to go in?" ”

Xia Chiyu looked at the back of the corridor, it was pitch black with no end in sight, so he shook his head: "Let's go over there first, and then talk about it when we get to the end, there may be any conditions for solving puzzles or decryption props or the like." ”

Emily nodded, continuing to follow him. Xia Chiyu and Emily continued to move forward, and from time to time a mural appeared in the hallway, with some religious content such as angels or virgins painted on it.

When they reached the end again, another door appeared. Xia Chiyu tried it and found that the door was not locked, so he pushed the door open, but the next moment a knife light flashed, and Xia Chiyu hurriedly opened the spiritual force field.

The sound of gold and iron resonating sounded, and then the figure in front of him was shaken back, and Xia Chiyu saw Gu Qinyan and Donna, who seemed to be coming from the other side.

"So, these two corridors are indeed connected corridors." Xia Chiyu said, pointing behind Gu Qinyan: "What about the intersection?" Is there anything out of the ordinary? Where does it lead? ”

"A staircase that leads to the balcony on the second floor, but it doesn't make much sense, beyond that balcony is on the other side of the cathedral, and there is no way to get anywhere." Gu Qinyan shook his head and said, "How is the situation on your side." ”

"There's a door, it's not locked, haven't gone in yet." Xia Chiyu replied, "What about you?" ”

"There's also a door, but it's in a cell like a cell, and it's fenced off and you can't get in." Gu Qinyan hugged his arm and replied, Xia Chiyu pointed behind Gu Qinyan and motioned for him to go back together. The four of them walked down the stairs together to the balcony on the second floor, and Xia Chiyu began to pace on the balcony, observing the surrounding situation.

Indeed, as Gu Qinyan said, there was nothing on the balcony, outside the church on one side and the wall on the other. On the edge of the balcony sits a statue of a crouching gargoyle, but it's just a statue.

"So you go back to your door and wait, and we'll go back to our door." Xia Chiyu said, pointing behind him. Gu Qinyan said: "You mean, the door on our side needs to be opened from your side?" ”

"It should be, otherwise what's the point of having two doors in one hallway." Xia Chiyu said, walking back, "Anyway, if there is a problem over there, I will come to you." If the door hasn't been open for too long, come over there. ”

Turning around again, Xia Chiyu and Emily walked back.

"It feels like you and your two friends are so powerful, obviously on the same level as us, but it feels ......" Emily thought for a moment, as if she didn't know what words to use, "It's just very calm, as if nothing will make you panic." ”

"Like I said, we have a very poor sense of substitution......," Xia Chiyu said, suddenly paused, stepped back a little, and came to a mirror. All the walls along the way are frescoes, only this one is a mirror. Xia Chiyu groaned for a moment, and then the staff struck out, hitting the mirror, and a crisp sound came, and the mirror was completely shattered.

Then, a tide of black beetles rushed to the face, engulfing Xia Chiyu's figure in an instant. The real touch of the beetles crawling all over his body came, although these beetles did not bite him, the feeling of the beetles' legs constantly touching the skin still made Xia Chiyu's neck numb for a while, and he immediately stretched out the mental force field, and the beetles scattered and splashed in all directions. Emily hurriedly helped him to his feet.

"Is it just a trap?" Xia Chiyu wiped his face and muttered to himself, looking inside the mirror.

Inside the mirror is a dark compartment, presumably used to hide from invading enemies, and here there is a dried corpse sitting inside, the same as the previous dry corpse, his body is also completely shriveled, but the skin and bones are still there, but the inside is completely empty. But the difference is that the dried corpse has a notch the size of a watermelon in his stomach.

Judging by his dress, this dried corpse should be the priest here, and his belly is unusually large. Despite the corruption for a long time, judging by the roll of flesh around the gap in his abdomen, something must have come out of his abdomen.

"Speaking of which......" Xia Chiyu moved closer to the dark grid in the mirror, and a strong rancid smell came, he suddenly frowned, covered his nose and raised his staff, aimed at the dark grid and released the purification technique, the carrion immediately turned into ashes and dissipated, and only a Bible was left in the dark grid.

Xia Chiyu grabbed the old yellowed Bible and opened it to look at it, on the last page of the Bible, the dead priest wrote something in a distorted font.

"This may be the key to solving the puzzle...... Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, and said to Emily, "Let's go, go back to the previous door." ”

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu looked as he walked, and as he guessed, these beetles were the culprits who turned the city from a rich desert oasis into a dead city in a few days. The priest recorded the situation, and one morning, hundreds of black-and-green beetles suddenly emerged from the basement of the church.

The priest fled to the dark grid because he knew enough about the church, but he saw through the window of the corridor that the guests who had been swallowed by the beetles did not die, but broke through the door of the church and went outside, as if they were walking dead, and it was clear that the priest himself did not escape.

"A beetle with sky-blue stripes on its back, almost the size of a basketball, crawled into the secret room where I was hiding, and the damn mongrel bit me and I lost consciousness after that......" "I felt something inside me...... They are alive and I can feel it...... There are hundreds, if not thousands...... They're eating my brain......"

After that, the records all became garbled, Xia Chiyu saw this, closed the Bible, and sighed: "Well, it's really valuable information, now the ins and outs are clear, let's go and solve the mystery." ”

"What do you mean when you say it's all clear? If the murderer is a beetle, what is the matter with that skeleton knight? Why does it keep chasing us? Emily asked.

"Obviously, it's called 'A Gathering of Spirits', and I think it's probably a monster that the souls of the victims here can't get rid of, and its purpose is to force us to come here to solve mysteries." Xia Chiyu said and pushed the door open.

The two of them walked down the corridor to an exhibition room, and then pushed open the door at the end of the exhibition room, the scenery in front of them was wide, this was the courtyard in the center of the church, empty, raindrops kept falling from the air, but in the shadows ahead, a roar sounded, and then Xia Chiyu found himself and Emily were shrouded in a huge black shadow.
