Seeing that the blade of the Tiangang Sword was about to cut off the head of the demon priest, he saw that his body suddenly turned into a thick black mist, and left behind such words: "Chen Xiaofu, if you still want to rescue your partner, then enter the 'Inquisition' to accept the trial from hell!" ”

I was about to ask the Demon Priest what his intentions were, but the black fog gradually cleared and the Demon Priest was gone.

"Say, where did the demon priest go?" I caught a cultist trying to take advantage of the chaos and threatened him.

"Master spare his life, I don't know where he went, the demon priest's actions have always been secretive, and eighty percent should be back to the 'Inquisition'." The believer knelt on the ground and said to me in a sincere tone.

I touched my chin and asked, "What exactly is the 'Inquisition'?" ”

"The 'Inquisition' is the institution of execution and trial used to imprison and try heretics."

"How do you identify 'infidels' internally?"

"There are two main kinds of pagans: first, those who are different from our beliefs; This is followed by apostates. The most severe verdicts will be given within the Church against infidels who are imprisoned by the 'Inquisition', and those who identify as heretics often have to pay with their lives to atone for their sins. ”

After listening to the congregationalists, I generally understood the role of this institution. Think about it, what is the difference between this and the "Inquisition of Heretics" set up by the Catholic Church in medieval Europe?

"Master, may I go?" The congregation asked me apprehensively.

I grabbed him by the collar and whispered, "Take me to the Inquisition, and if you dare to play tricks, I'll cut you with a knife!" ”

Unexpectedly, the believers resisted vigorously, and claimed: "Instead of taking you to that place to be punished by the priest, it is better to kill yourself on the spot!" With that, the disciple took a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it in the heart.

"If you want to die, I won't stop you, but please tell me where the 'Inquisition' is before you die?" I clasped the disciple's hand so that the dagger would not be pierced into the heart prematurely.

"There's a three-story house behind you, and that's the Inquisition."

When I looked back, there was really a baroque building, which looked like a Ming Hall built for the dead.

After confirming the location, I grabbed the Tiangang sword and trotted all the way to this ghostly European-style palace.

When I approached the palace, a dark iron gate stood in front of me. I stretched out my hand and pushed the iron door, and found that it was not locked, leaving a gap in the iron door.

The imaginary sneak attack didn't happen, and after pushing the door open, I stepped on the cold and slippery rock formation, and couldn't help frowning: "The yin qi in this ghost place is too heavy, right?" ”

After taking a few steps forward, I found that it seemed to be a very spacious corridor, and I didn't know where it would lead to the end. The rock walls on either side of the corridor were hung candles that smelled of corpses, unlike the ever-bright lamps I'd seen elsewhere, made from a mixture of human and animal oil.

The dimly lit corridor was deadly silent, all the more eerie under the eerie green light emitted by the lamps and candles. Generally speaking, whether it is an oil lamp or a candle, the normal color of the flame should be golden yellow, but the lamp and candle here show an eerie dark green, which looks particularly terrible.

I once heard a blind man tell an incident: once, when he and his master went to Qinling to practice, they accidentally found an ancient tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the two of them went down to the ancient tomb out of curiosity to find out. After some twists and turns, they finally came to the main tomb, and the blind man who was obsessed with wealth wanted to open the coffin of the owner of the tomb and touch some bright utensils to go back, but when he approached the coffin of the owner of the tomb despite the Master's obstruction, the butter candle that the Master had been holding in his hand suddenly changed color. The blind man vaguely felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around and saw that the candle flame in the master's hand was emitting a strange dark green, he secretly screamed that something was wrong, and was about to go back, when suddenly, from the coffin of the tomb owner, there was a sound of scratching nails rubbing against the liver, and the scalp was numb when he heard it. The master rushed forward with an arrow, took the blind man's hand, and escaped from the tomb in embarrassment.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, and the lights and candles in this corridor show an extremely strange dark green, indicating that there must be evil here.

Strangely, my yin and yang eyes didn't see any ghosts, and the Ring of Power didn't react.

Could it be that I am suspicious of a dark ghost?

I was standing at the intersection of these three forks in the road, hesitating which way to go, and when I looked up, I accidentally saw a few lines written on the rock wall on the right.

Approaching the rock wall and taking a closer look, I saw that it was marked with red arrows: "↗500 meters of black prison", "↑ 300 meters of the court", "400 meters of execution". ↖

I still remember that before the demon priest escaped, he said that Lao Xing and his party were imprisoned in the "black prison", and according to the signs on the rock wall, the only way to go to the "black prison" was to take the road in front of the right.

As soon as I stepped into the fork in the road in front of the right with my front foot, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, the demon priest deliberately revealed this information to me, could it be that he deliberately lured me into the bait? He expected that I was eager to save people, and he would definitely break into the "black prison" regardless of it. I'm afraid that this guy has already laid a lot of traps in the "black prison", waiting for me to fall into the net.

I knew that the front was full of unpredictable dangers, but when I thought of the safety of my partners, I immediately made up my mind: even if what awaits me in front of me is a sea of swords and fires, I, Chen Xiaofu, will go and break through!

After stepping into the fork in the road in front of me, I deliberately slowed down. In order not to be attacked by evil spirits hidden in the shadows, I resorted to the "Ghost Master" housekeeping skill "Yin Gathering Technique". The so-called "Yin Gathering Technique" is to minimize the yang energy in one's body, greatly improve the yin energy in the body, and the yin and yang in the body will be inverted, so as to shield the vitality of the living and create an illusion of "the same kind" to the ghosts and evil things.

In my memory, this trick has been tried and tested many times, and it has helped me to save the day, but I haven't used it for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come in handy again today.

After performing the "Yin Gathering Technique", I didn't have to worry about being attacked by ghosts, and my pace began to pick up.

After walking a few hundred meters forward, a dim firelight came into my eyes, and when I looked closer, I saw two black-robed men with scythes on their backs talking quietly outside the wooden door of the "black prison".

"The priest said it was too late to perform the rites of sacrifice, so he told us to get rid of the three prisoners in Cell 13 and throw their bodies into the drain."

"Looking at the priest's panicked appearance, I don't know what's going on outside."

"Anyway, don't talk nonsense, it's important to get down to business!"

One of the black-robed men fished out a bunch of keys from his pocket to open the wooden door and walked in first, while the other black-robed man pulled out a sickle from behind his back, looked around cautiously, and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal before quickly closing the wooden door and entering the prison.

"Blind people they are in danger!"

I clenched the Tiangang Sword in my hand, hurriedly ran forward, and found that the wooden door was not closed, and I felt that God helped me.

Pushing open the wooden door, walking through the gloomy, oppressive cells, flanked on the left and right by serial numbers, most of whom were already in a state of near-death, only holding their last breath. Seeing these people who were tortured to the point that life was worse than death, my heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife, and I couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

"Bang ......"

Suddenly there was a dense burst of gunfire in front of me, and I was overjoyed, and said in my heart: "It seems that Lao Xing and Ling Qingyao are fine!" ”

Hurriedly ran forward, and when they came to the door of Cell No. 13, they saw Lao Xing and Ling Qingyao each holding a smoking 54-style pistol, and two corpses lying in a pool of blood in front of them.

"Chen Xiaofu, you're finally here! I thought I was going to die! When Ling Qingyao saw that it was me, she didn't care about her unkempt and sloppy appearance, so she rushed forward and threw herself into my arms.

I gently hugged Ling Qingyao and comforted, "I'm sorry for making you suffer!" ”

The blind man walked slowly to my side with a pestle to find the dragon, and said with a slight teasing: "These guys originally wanted to use the three of us as sacrifices for some ritual, but I don't know too much. Until you broke into here and overturned the wishful thinking of the demon priest, that stupid fork must have run away with his tail between his legs! ”

I let go of Ling Qingyao, reached out and gently patted the blind man's shoulder: "I'm really sorry, you are a disabled person who has suffered such a big grievance, what do you want to eat after you go back this time, just talk to your brother, I promise to meet your various requirements!" ”

The blind man smiled: "Even if you are wronged, it is worth it, at least during the time we were in prison, we have a lot of confidential information about the Star Picking Society." ”

Lao Xing nodded and said to me: "Xiao Fu, this information is very important, I will tell you slowly after I go back." ”

I saw that the three of them were fine, but they had not drunk or eaten for several days, and their bodies looked a little weak.

"This place is not suitable for long, we must leave as soon as possible. I have sent the location of the 'Inquisition' to Director Ling, and I believe that he will soon send a capable police force to wipe out this place. ”

As I spoke, I led the three of them out of the black prison quickly.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes were silently watching me. That gaze felt familiar, and a person's name instantly popped into my mind: "Asuna Tokisaki!" ”
