Crimson Moon Chapter 3: The Entrance to the Underworld

Carlos led by example, and at his own command, he jumped into the eyes of the blood-red demon with the members of the red team and the divers.

Jiang Cheng looked at those who jumped into the demon's eye, narrowed his eyes, this red spring water was like blood, and it was poisonous, wouldn't he put himself in the poison pool if he jumped down, what does this mission have to do with this pool.

Pompey walked in front of Jiang Cheng and patted him on the shoulder, Jiang Cheng was the youngest agent in this operation, and he was only a freshman student, and Pompeii took great care of this budding newcomer who did not have any experience in performing tasks.

"Don't worry, we'll only be in there for a short time, and then we'll be in a special space, and nothing will happen!" Pompeii explained.

"Special space?" Jiang Cheng wondered, isn't there water under this pool, is there anything special about it.

"According to Homer's epic poem, the Necronomicon is located in the depths of the earth, the westernmost part of the earth, and many heroes of Greek mythology have visited and had face-to-face contact with many sages;

However, in post-Homeric times, it was believed that any precipitous canyon or deep cave, such as the ancient well of the city of Hesiudyne, would also have a path to the land of the dead, and the Devil's Eye happened to be an entrance!" Pompeii took the trouble to explain.

"The Land of the Necromancy..."Jiang Cheng heard the name of this place, and he got goosebumps up and down, so isn't it all dead inside, after these living people go in, can they really come out alive?

"Don't think too much, it's okay, just follow the president!" Jiang Che pressed his two hands on Jiang Cheng's shoulders and comforted.

In fact, Jiang Che himself is also very nervous, and Jiang Cheng is also half a catty, they just come here to mix, as long as they follow the big army.

"It's our turn!" Pompey waved his hand to the people behind him, and also jumped down as the captain, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Che, two brothers, came to the edge of the pool, looked at the demonic eyes that kept bubbling red below, closed their eyes, and jumped straight down.

Puff ......

Entering the demon's eyes, there was a deep red in front of him, different from ordinary pools, the water density here was larger, it was very inconvenient to swim, and it was as viscous as blood, and even Jiang Cheng once wondered if this was a pool of blood.

Jiang Cheng kicked a few times in the pool water, the sight here was very bad, there was no direction at all, it was like entering a big dye vat, and he couldn't see anything twenty centimeters away at all.

"Don't stop, go downstream!" Pompeii's voice came from the earphones, and Jiang Cheng swam down as instructed.

The pool water is bottomless, the eyes are always red, as if there is no bottom, after swimming a distance, many people will deviate from the original route, swim to the side, if it is not for the headset can still maintain communication, let people have a little psychological comfort, otherwise the vast majority of people's hearts are broken.

Although everyone was wearing airtight diving equipment, the sound of rippling water echoed in his ears, and in such a sound, Jiang Cheng also heard a trace of ghosts crying wolf howls, like resentment, like a crying resentful woman in the mountain village in the dark night.

Voices tend to just pop up, very soft, very thin, and then get farther and farther away, and finally disappear.

Often recovered, even Jiang Cheng, who didn't believe in the existence of ghosts, was in an extremely struggling mood at this time.

"Why haven't you arrived yet!" Jiang Cheng swam in the red pool for a while, but he didn't know if this pool was a bottomless pit.

"Brother, are you still there?"

"I'm here!" replied Jiang Che.

"Attention units, the red team has arrived at the entrance, please hurry up the blue team members, we are waiting for you at the door!"

Carlos' voice rang through everyone's headphones, which couldn't help but lift the spirits of the BLU players, at least the RED team's experience had taught them that there was still an end to this demon's eye.

Continuing downstream, there were silky gray transparent floats in the water, and the concentration of the red liquid began to fade, as if it had changed from blood red to orange red, and the water quality began to become clear.

Continuing downstream, the red color became less and less, but the water began to turn gray, and the silky floats in the water also increased, as if the soul had been crushed.

"We see you!" Carlos said in his headset, and the first person to enter the RED team's field of vision was Pompeii, who was also very experienced in carrying out tasks as the head of the branch, unhurried, and calm.

"I saw it too, they were there!" Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly became clear, passing by a fluffy hole, pale yellow, the hole was like a part of a huge monster's body, constantly moving, looking like life.

Coming out of there, one sees an arched gate on a stone platform.

The stone platform is suspended in a gray environment, Jiang Cheng is gray now, even people, it is similar to watching old-fashioned black and white TV, seeing the people below, Jiang Cheng's spirits are uplifted, and he finally didn't get lost.

Slowly swimming towards the inverted triangle stone platform, a member of the red team in front of him pulled Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Che behind him followed.

Jiang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped on the stone platform, he observed the surrounding scene, all around him were gray, as if he was in a chaotic space.

The top of the head was gray, and there was no visible appearance, and there was constantly a thread-like substance floating in it, sometimes entwined and sometimes scattered, Jiang Cheng grabbed a handful, and they turned into two sections like smoke, and floated away in Jiang Cheng's hand.

Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at the arched gate on the side, he couldn't see anything in the gate, he could only see that the gate was covered by a layer of gray wriggling translucent substance, like smoke and dreams, as if these substances were those things floating in the water.

"It's all here!" Carlos told everyone to count the numbers.

"Edgar Allan Poe is gone, and Lumia is gone!" said a BLU team leader on the side.

The team leader is second only to the captain, because there are many people this time, so the four of them are a group, which is convenient for management and assignment of tasks, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Che are taken by Pompeii because they are newcomers.

"We've got one less here, too!"

"I'm the only one here!"

When the number of people in the crowd was counted, it was found that there were only about thirty of the fifty agents who came to Shitai, and there were almost more than 20 people missing, which was simply ridiculous.

Carlos clenched his fists, panic now spreading through the crowd, where the agents would go, and now they didn't even have any contact with them.

"There's no way, according to the Executive Manual, we must make a decision now, Elder!" Pompey, as the branch president, was still very conscious, and he said as he stood in front of Carlos.

"Well, let's go in first, we can't wait!" Carlos nodded.

"Abandon those partners in this way!" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say, Carlos's eyes looked towards Jiang Cheng, Jiang Che hurriedly pulled him behind, "Lord, my brother has never performed a task, and he doesn't know the rules, please forgive me!"

"Agent 41, the situation here is complicated, we have to make a choice, you don't know what's in this pool, and if we stay where we are any longer, the more we may be exposed!" Pompey explained Carlos.

"Then what about those people!" Jiang Cheng was indignant, the director of the orphanage had taught him since he was a child that he could not easily abandon his partners, and the high school also taught him correct values, but now these people seem to regard human life as a mustard.

"So you mean you want to wait here?" Carlos said, taking a step forward, "If that's what you mean, I don't have a problem, you can wait here for us to come out!"

"No, President Carlos, my younger brother is participating in the mission for the first time, he is not used to the environment here, he may be too nervous and scared to say these words, don't mind the president!" Jiang Che covered for Jiang Cheng, and his younger brother was open-mouthed.

"I don't mind, there's nothing to mind, when you get to my position, you'll understand my difficulties!" Carlos looked back, he hadn't intended to meet Jiang Cheng in the first place.

If the matter here is not handled well, then it will not be as simple as missing 20 people, and the death of 200,000 people will be considered a small loss.

"Come in with me, pay attention to what I said to you when I came, three things to note, don't forget!" Carlos stood in the doorway, his back to everyone, and paused.

As the chairman of the headquarters, he can be said to have experienced nine deaths and seen countless big scenes, and he can't count the number of times he escaped death with his fingers and toes.

He has faced the most ferocious monsters and killed the most ruthless Inhumans. He has become accustomed to the fact that every mission is a new experience and challenge, a choice between life and death.

Carlos walked in without hesitation, and his figure disappeared into the door like smoke, and the gray thing in the doorway seemed to have been cut open and slowly healed.

"Follow me, don't walk around!" Pompeii patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, this little brother seems to be the least worry-free, he really has a good temperament, but he may harm himself under special circumstances.

Pompeii walked into this gate, and the people behind him thought that Jiang Cheng would not dare to go in, but who knew that Jiang Cheng seemed to be angry, and strode in directly without looking back, following Pompeii's steps.

Everyone glanced at each other, and it seemed that Jiang Cheng was indeed not cowardly, but really fought for others.

When he walked in the door, Jiang Che felt that the world in front of him suddenly changed, first his eyes were gray, the surrounding fog was foggy, and he couldn't see his five fingers, walking in such a blank place, like walking in the Daluo Immortal Realm, soaring clouds and fog.

Entering a sheep's intestine-like space-time tunnel, the light quickly dimmed, and there was a small opening in the distance that was lit up, and he walked in it, with Pompeii in front and Carlos in the front.

The crowd behind them followed unhurriedly, and the line lined up in a line, heading towards the farthest spot of the small light.

This space was the same as before, it was the same as the black and white photo, and the silky things in the air were even denser, and they came in from the back doorway, passed by Jiang Cheng, and flew towards the bright light in the distance.

At the same time, some indescribable eerie sounds echoed in this narrow space, as thin as a needle, and as heavy as a bell, obviously there was no wind, but I felt a chill in my neck, and there was constantly a similar wind sound hanging by my ears, as if someone was passing by.

Jiang Cheng's eyes were slightly tilted to the side, and he saw his face on the wet wall, and his face only revealed the outline of his facial features, and the rest of the place was dark, and strangely, he only saw his own face.

Turning his head, Jiang Cheng still decided not to look around, after all, if he saw something at that time, it would be troublesome.

In about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Cheng walked out of this sheep's intestine-like space-time tunnel and walked into the light.

The scene in front of him made Jiang Cheng's breathing begin to be difficult, the gray heaven and earth, the broken scene, the big river connecting the sky in the distance, and the yellow spring was blue......
