Chapter Seventy-Seven: Deep
Some memories of 'wife murdered by brutal husband' flashed through my mind.
At the same time, it is also mixed with images of other family members being killed.
In these broken scenes, there are many stories about the 'head of the house' Baker. Footage of Marcellus.
However, the head of the house is no longer an ordinary human, but a terrifying creature with a tentacle on his face.
Han Dong had already learned about this experience through his diary, so he quickly skimmed over some inconsequential images.
The main purpose is to try to search for an important object in these memory images.
A 'magic book' that brought bad luck to the Baker family.
Soon, Han Dong found it in the broken memory picture of his youngest son.
One day, Baker left his study and forgot to lock it.
His youngest son accidentally ran into the study while playing and found the 'stitched leather books' on the desk.
That's right, the cover of the book is 'skin', similar to pigskin.
However, the cortex is somewhat yellowish and there is no obvious pig hair...... From the picture, it looks more like a skin taken from a human body.
Moreover, there are obvious stitching marks on the surface of the book cover, and black lines are interspersed wantonly.
Most notably, there is an eye in the center of the book's cover, a real eye that can move.
The youngest son who saw this scene screamed in shock, and the fragments of memory ended here.
It's no wonder that when Baker saw the book, he did not hesitate to use his family fund to buy it.
For a failed man who was eliminated by the Knight Academy and bullied by the woman all day long, this is like a life-saving straw on the road of life, and he will definitely grasp it.
It's just that he didn't expect that this straw would lead him into the endless abyss.
But...... It's a different thing for me that this book is bad for him.
If I could, I'd have to find a way to get my hands on the book. ”
Han Dong has taken a great interest in this book.
In the following time, Han Dong seemed a little 'boring' to stay outside.
Because Cass and the others went deep into the tree hole, the other party had no intention of dealing with it, and it couldn't deal with Han Dong who was outside.
"According to the strength of Cass, as long as they can block the pollution, it should be easy to deal with this kind of thing.
Miss Chen Li, let's go back to the mansion and have a look. ”
"Okay."
Under the darkness of the night.
Chen Li likes to wear her hair like this, deliberately covering her face.
At the same time, he is also accustomed to the sound of dislocation of the joints due to strange twisting of the joints during walking, which is not intended to create a terrifying atmosphere, but just a personal habit.
"When night falls, the mansion is restored...... There may be unexpected changes in some places.
Yes, go to Baker's single bedroom. ”
Baker has a separate bedroom on the first floor, which he began sleeping in two years ago due to marital problems.
In the previous investigation, this bedroom was completely destroyed due to the collapse of the ceiling, and a large amount of reinforced concrete blocked the doorway, making it impossible to enter at all.
After night fell and the mansion was restored, Han Dong opened the door.
Moreover, through the fragments of memories that flashed through his mind, he soon discovered a secret passage deep underground at the bottom of the bed.
There are obvious traces of man-made construction in the passage, and concrete stone steps have been built to facilitate descending.
Do you want to go down?
After a brief consideration, Han Dong called Miss Chen Li and walked down.
"A haughty and indifferent female knight like Celeste resembles a female teacher in the academy in her lifetime, she is too strong to ask for help from someone of lower status than her.
Calculating the time, it had been nearly an hour since the knight of Celeste had been to the underground area.
With her strength, either quickly will demonize Baker. Marcellus solves it, or something goes wrong and he gets stuck below.
She said that if she needed help, she would let her know through the communication device.
But would someone as strong as she ask for our help?
Even the guy who has a hard time dealing with her, we rookies can't fight it anymore, right? And there is also a sister in the team who she cares about very much.
In case of danger, she will definitely not ask us for help.
Of course...... There is also a possibility that the communication devices are blocked underground and there is no way to contact us.
In any case, it is necessary for me to go down and see.
If you can, be sure to get the 'Magic Book.'"
Han Dong didn't think that the combined strength of himself and Chen Li could compare to the famous [Punishment Knight] Celest, but Han Dong was not afraid of pollution at all.
With this characteristic, coupled with the curiosity and thirst for mysterious magic books.
Decided to go deep into the underground lair and meet this Baker for himself. Marcellus' 'Great Plan'.
There is no danger during the downside.
The stone steps are about 30 meters deep, corresponding to the pitch-black underground cavern.
"This tastes ......"
The smell of 'oil' wafted through the air, as if a brutal massacre had taken place not so long ago.
"Is it hard that the ritual has been completed? Why is there no sound? ”
Han Dong didn't take out the torch, and the light of the fire easily exposed him...... The crow's beak mask, with a certain amount of night vision, begins, and explores the cave.
Not long after walking in the darkness, Han Dong saw a little green fire.
When he got closer, he realized that the source of the fire was the sacrificial array...... Han Dong hid at the back end of the two stone pillars, looking at the situation inside the large array through the crack.
"The sacrifice is complete!?"
An open underground space with green torches hanging on the walls.
A huge array is drawn with 'oil', and a large number of strange characters are written that Han Dong cannot recognize...... And there were a large number of broken skeletons scattered in the formation.
Apparently, the ceremony has been completed......
But I can't see Baker who is in charge of it all. Marcellus, and the Celeste Knight were not visible.
What exactly happened Han Dong is unknown.
That's when it happened.
A somewhat cold palm landed on Han Dong's shoulder, dragging it into the darkness.
Chen Li's eyes on the side showed a fierce light, and she picked up a kitchen knife and was about to chase after her.
Miss Chen Li...... It's a friend! You go back first. ”
Han Dong was very decisive and took Chen Li back into the portable prison.
It was none other than the [Punishment Knight] Celeste who dragged Han Dong into the shadows.
She was injured, covering her bleeding waist and abdomen with one hand and Han Dong with the other.
Keep the sound as low as possible.
"What are you doing here? What about Fia? ”
Han Dong immediately responded: "They are all fine, I alone made a judgment and came down to support you." ”
"You...... Can't help!
You must have come down the other way, right? Take me up and report the situation to the Knights.
The target has ritually channeled powerful creatures from outside the walls into his body...... This place is his home turf and is not for us to fight. ”
That's when it happened.
The creep of some kind of slippery object came from the creaking!
Han Dong and Celeste held their breath at the same time......
