Chapter XVII

Lu Qing and his party had already come to the slope where the church was located. Although it has been abandoned for many years and has not been repaired, and under the destruction of the harsh natural environment, the milky white of the building skin has faded a lot, revealing the red bricks inside, but this still cannot stop the grandeur and solemnity exuded by this majestic building itself.

In front of the Gothic building, which has a gray and decayed surface, the top of the top sharply abruptly breaks through the clouds, reaching the sky, brick by brick, all showing the sense of historical age. If it weren't for the strange geographical location of this church, Lu Qing would have thought that this was just an ordinary church.

"It's spectacular." Xu Zhen looked up at the zenith towering into the clouds, and only felt as if it was about to penetrate the sky to get a glimpse of the mystery of heaven. Dai Shikai floated the walls, looking at the door of the church and the lifelike marble reliefs on both sides, these carvings have the aura of Leonardo da Vinci, like Raphael's free and easy, is a typical Renaissance style of carving.

"This church must have a long history." Chen Shuo sighed: "I have never been abroad, let alone seen such a building with my own eyes. ”

Countless intricately carved minarets are stacked on top of each other, with beautiful lines and light ceilings, and it is difficult to use such a general word as "masterpiece" to recognize such an atmospheric building.

However, as soon as everyone entered the church, the feeling of admiring the magnificent building disappeared in an instant.

Entering the interior of the church is like stepping into an ancient temple. The interior of the church is made of polished marble, and the carvings inside and out are like masterpieces. The interior of the church is lined with tall stone pillars, which are proud, and the high sky dome seems to be connected to the sky, which makes people feel both illusion and reality. It's just that looking at such a magnificent and exquisite building, Lu Qing didn't feel shocked in his heart, on the contrary, he ...... There is a faint hint of unease.

On both sides of the church, there are colorful window paintings depicting Bible stories, but after the wind and sun, these beautiful glasses have long been decayed like withered flowers, as Lu Qing said, sitting here facing north and facing north, there is no sun at all.

Although there was no sunlight, it was daytime after all, and it was noon, and the room was bright, so everyone did not have to worry about the invasion of darkness. But despite this, the four still did not dare to relax their vigilance, but started to search separately while ensuring that their teammates were in their line of sight.

As Lu Qing walked, he looked at all the scenes around him.

The overall structure of the church is a typical inverted cross, which is mainly composed of three main parts: a rectangular hall divided by two rows of columns into a middle cabin and two portholes.

The middle cabin is a place of worship for the faithful, and there is an altar in the hall directly opposite the middle cabin. The altar is semicircular in shape, with an altar in the center. In front of the altar is the seat of the choir, with several chapels lined up along the semicircle behind and radially at the end.

Pilgrims can enter the church through the side door of the main entrance and go through the gangway to the verandah to worship without disturbing the Mass in the middle cabin.

As for the sleeve hall that sticks out on the left and right, it is the place where the monks attend the Sunday worship and the believers.

From the perspective of layout, this church follows the consistent layout of Gothic churches, but the more rigorous and standard its internal structure is, the stronger the doubts in Lu Qing's heart.

Obviously, the builders of this building were well versed in the construction of the church and the arrangement of the spatial structure, and it is clear that the designers and engineers put a lot of effort into the construction of the church.

So why did these masters who are quite accomplished in architecture make such a serious mistake in such a basic matter as feng shui lighting?

The only reason that can be explained is that it was intentional.

Dai Shikai stepped up to the altar and, in the midst of the ruins, picked up a dusty Bible. The heavy book cover has long been eroded and tattered, the book has been damp, and it has been exposed to the scorching sun, and so on, the ink printed text in the book has also faded into a large area of black, even if Dai Shikai squinted his eyes and struggled to identify it, he could probably only understand a few of the words.

"If Dominic was here, he would definitely be distressed to death when he saw this scene." Dai Shikai said, casually throwing the worthless book in his hand on the ground. Even if this is a Bible, it is obviously useless in such a situation.

For Dai Shikai, the value of this book is less important than a small note with clues. He had always been an atheist himself, and even if he entered space and seen so many ghosts and ghosts, he still couldn't change his opinion of these supernatural powers.

Disrespect for ghosts and gods - that's what Dominic says about him.

"There don't seem to be any clues here." He jumped down from the altar, patted the dust on his hands, and said to Lu Qing, "Why don't you go to the back of a few small chapels to take a look?" ”

Lu Qing looked at the dark room and shook his head: "I always feel that all the ominous aura here is emanating from that side. ”

"That's why we want to see it. There are clues where there is danger, Brother Qing, when you encounter this situation before, you are always the first to rush forward. Why is it unusually this time......" When Dai Shikai asked, his face suddenly changed.

He heard a voice coming from the end of the darkness, not only him, but Xu Zhen and Chen Shuo also raised their heads and looked in that direction.

Lu Qing tugged at the corner of Dai Shikai's clothes and quietly pulled him back a few steps. If it was really those things in the inn last night that could quietly kill the two Dream Breakers, then everyone at this moment was about to face a great crisis......

However, the light of a flashlight appeared in the darkness, and the previous subtle movement became louder and louder, and it was obvious that it was a sound of footsteps.

When Shan Hongwei's figure appeared in everyone's sight, Dai Shikai found that the other party was not so annoying for the first time, at least it was much more pleasing to the eye than the mysterious creatures lurking in the darkness in the mission.

“1,2,3,4,5…… 6。 Dai Shikai counted it, and was a little disappointed to find that all the people in the first district were there.

It seems these guys. 's luck is indeed good, after all, the missing Dong Lin and Xie Long lived in the next room in the first district, but in the end, it was only the two of them who were killed.

The atmosphere at this time is a little delicate, and the third and first arrondissements have always been incompatible. If he had met the other party in the previous mission, with Dai Shikai's temper, he would have rushed up to fight with them a long time ago. Although the third district does not have an advantage in numbers, in terms of combat power, it is by no means inferior to the other side. What's more, there are two women and one injured man in the team in the first district, and if it really starts, even Shan Hongwei can't completely let go.

As long as Li Chenyin is here, he is not the invincible and unscrupulous bloodthirsty demon he used to be.

But at this moment, neither of the two sides acted rashly, and Lu Qing and Li Chenyin seemed to have scruples on their faces. The two sides just looked at each other, and no one meant to break the silence.
