The acquisition of the Necronomicon (Legcodex) allowed Han Dong to take his stealth to the next level.

Mary Tisi turned into a toad bead and was swallowed by Han Dong to improve spatial affinity.

"Faceless Disguise" made him a member of the Thorn Society, and unless someone came up with a list of churches to compare, it would be difficult to debunk Han Dong's disguise.

Dark night.

Han Dong quickly approached the side of the church.

Through the self-explosion of the "Thorn Corpse", he quickly infiltrated the interior of the church, disguised as a teacher to fight against the invaders, and searched for the secret door to the underground area with the magic eye.

By the time everyone's attention was fixed on the Holy Order monster.

"Void Toad"

As a burst of starlight light lit up on the soles of his feet, Han Dong had already passed through the hidden secret door.

Successfully reached the underground area of the Church of Thorns, which is also the secret cellar where the corpses of the participants are stored.

The size of the cellar was much larger than Han Dong had expected.

Circular, multi-storey dungeon-like structure.

Movement between floors is achieved through a central elevator, with multiple seals on the lowest floor, which can only be opened by verifying identity.

Presumably, the "corpses of participants" that continue to spawn thorns must be locked at the bottom.

A total of eight floors of circular cellars hold a large number of evil spirits from the dark forest, mainly flesh and blood.

When these poor fellows saw the instructor in Han Dong's disguise, they all showed fearful eyes, afraid that they would be chosen.

Han Dong did not express his opinion for the time being, and took the elevator to the bottom floor.

Use "cobblestone" as the eye of the formation.

Engraved with the spell seal of the dark dwellers, the lowest chamber is sealed...... Even so, between the crevices around the cobblestone, a large number of Stigmata Thorns still overflowed, constantly consuming the energy of the seal.

"Presumably, every once in a while, an instructor will come here to repair and fill the seal.

Just right...... I just need to borrow thorns to break the seal.

My bodily fluids are a great tonic for this thing, right? ”

Let's talk about it.

Han Dong's right hand grew a tentacle covered with gray spots, and he took the initiative to absorb the thorns around the cobblestone.

Su Ri'an hurts, but the effect is very good.

The thorns that have absorbed the gray tentacles are like a shot of oxytoxin, and they grow wildly.

In just two minutes, the energy of the seal was depleted, and the cobblestone was completely crushed...... Han Dong immediately stepped into it.

What catches the eye is a rather sinister picture.

Han Dong's question about 'how corpses keep growing thorns' was also answered.

In the center of the round is a peculiar "participant's corpse"

Even if the stench is stinking and the evil smell is overflowing...... But the corpse was unaffected and extremely clean, which couldn't help but remind Han Dong of [Miss Jane].

However, Miss Jane is constantly cleaning up the surrounding environment through the field of witchcraft due to her personal cleanliness problem.

However, due to its own attributes, this corpse is not invaded by pollution, and has always maintained a state of "chastity".

Meantime.

There are also 10 fixed seats around the room.

The Evil Chosen from the Cellar will be brought here by the instructors and tied to the chairs to be used as food for the "corpses of the participants...... When the corpse is full, new thorns will grow for the instructors to eat, so that everyone can gain the power from the thorns.

Not only the evil, but also some errant inhabitants of darkness will be fed.

Such a scene.

At first glance, it looked very evil, the second glance was ridiculous, and the third glance made Han Dong feel an invisible threat.

The evil lies in the fact that the church obtains thorns through 'living feeding'.

The ridiculous thing is that the demons actually use their own kind as ingredients for the use of the invaders, and they also try to obtain the abilities of the other party from the invaders, and even want to cause miracles to come.

The threat is that the mere corpse of a participant creates a situation of "group corruption" and "cannibalism".

This is just a small test of the world of the Black Tower...... If the real threat comes, the world will be in for a cataclysm.

The black sand flowed on the left arm, and the bloody dog barked wildly on the right arm.

Han Dong made the most comprehensive preparations and slowly walked to the round platform carrying the corpse.

In front of him was a [humanoid] headless corpse, and the part where the thorns grew was the 'neck'...... In other words, the participant did not have a cranial structure of his own.

The corpse was dressed in a set of robes painted with golden thorns, which came from the world he belonged to, and indicated his identity to a certain extent.

After confirming that there is no danger.

Han Dong immediately set about examining the body.

Carefully take off his robes...... Seems to be looking for something.

"It's!"

Soon, Han Dong found the mark he expected.

On the lower end of the corpse's neck was a "Black Vortex Imprint", which was the same as the black vortex on Han Dong's torso, representing the Black Tower Pass.

"Sure enough, it's a participant related to the Black Tower.

That being the case, the participants who came to the city of London were almost certainly sent by the Black Tower.

Whether it's the Vortex Corpse that caused the miracle, the Thorn Corpse, or the other two participants, their abilities are all capable of targeting the Alien Demons.

This is why they will be chosen by the Black Tower to carry out the fate event in the city of London.

Or maybe they came to our 'world not yet under full control' to carry out a tentative fateful event through the bounty decree issued by the Black Tower...... Once the temptation is successful, you will inevitably be rewarded with a reward that is much higher than the average fate event.

Nine times out of ten, that's true."

While Han Dong was staring at the corpse, deep in thought.

Mary's voice came from within: "Nicholas, what are you doing?" Even if it is a seal that is broken through thorns, the instructors above will definitely know about it at the first time, and they will definitely send people to check it.

Now that you've made sure that the corpse is no threat to you, leave with it. ”

"Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Mary, you're right, the instructors here will be the first to know about the opening of the enchantment.

The corpse is the object of worship of this group of teachers, the foundation of the religion, and its importance is even greater than their own lives...... I've been delayed for so long, and I'm sure a group of faculty members will come down and check it out.

I didn't expect to slip out in the first place.

However, so far, no instructor has been found...... Is there something going on up there? ”

"Could it be that the identity of that black goat was exposed and all the instructors here were killed?"

"No...... Miss Sally was careful not to make such a lowly mistake. Let's go up and have a look. ”

Through previous physical contact and various examinations, it is confirmed that the body is not in danger.

Han Dong raised his left hand, and an ancient Egyptian coffin sealed the body into it and loaded it into a portable prison.

When returning to the church by elevator, Han Dong vaguely smelled a strange aura, an aura that could stimulate the central nervous system and make the individual fall into madness.

When the cellar door is opened.

It can be described as a scene of corpses strewn across the field, all the Thorn Society instructors are dead, most of them are incomplete, as if they have been bitten by some kind of ferocious beast.

Even Priest Sarrien, who tried to invade the church and turned into a Holy Order monster, was completely dead, leaving only a ground of broken thorns.

The entrance of the church.

A scrawny young man was riding on the back of a 'hound' that made Han Dongdu's heart tremble.

Sally the black goat revealed a part of its 'body', dark purple tentacles fluttering behind her, and Campbell spread her wings, growing a large number of isomerized tentacle claws to confront the youth on the hound.

With the advent of Han Dong.

The young man also turned his gaze...... The eyes like caves made Han Dong's heart tremble, and he had a strange feeling that he was about to be inhaled.
