Chapter 17: Blurred Shadows

A shrill whistle sounded, and a large number of cell doors in the underground base were opened, and a group of green-haired soldiers or sandmen walked out of their cells. Although they are slow, their muscles are extremely developed, like bloated monsters. After these green-haired monsters joined the excavation ranks, the progress of the excavation was significantly accelerated.

At this time, the five people of the Great Snake were peeking at everything that was happening in the ruins not far away. After the sandstorm not long ago, although the five people scattered for a while, they quickly gathered together. Although the Steel Ghost did not reveal the orders given by the Great Serpent during the Sandstorm, there still seemed to be an invisible crack in the group.

The steel ghost was still on the side of the big snake, the golden eye and the green spider were leaning together, while the black gold was a little lonely, but his face still had an ancient and waveless look.

"The Revelator still hasn't moved?" The serpent turned to the steel ghost.

"No, but the signal I sensed was getting stronger, and it was in that pit." The steel ghost pointed to the huge pit that was being dug in the ruins of the ancient city.

"Damn, they got a head start." The serpent punches the ground.

"Do you know where this pit leads? It's all come to this point, I don't think you need to hide it, right? At this time, Jin Yan asked lightly. As their leader, the Great Snake is the only one who knows the purpose of this trip the most.

Hearing Golden-Eye's question, the big snake didn't even look at her, and only after a while did he say indifferently: "Do you remember Nestori?" ”

"You're talking about the heresy in Constantinople that was active around 400 AD?" Golden-Eye asked with a frown.

"Nestery, who was then bishop of Constantinople, was condemned as a heretic for advocating the duality of God and man in Christ and denying the status of the Virgin Mary, and was forced to leave the East with his followers." The serpent nodded.

"What does he have to do with the purpose of our trip?" Goldeneye continued. At this time, Black Gold and Green Spider also shifted their gaze to the big snake.

"Long ago, there were rumors that Nestorius himself had gone to Persia, and that he had died in Egypt. But only the Organizations in the world knew that he had disappeared into the desert. ”

"What?" Golden-eyed and blue-spider were surprised at the same time.

According to a leak from Nestori's cronies, he had seen some kind of miracle that led his followers to this place and into a mysterious place. The exact purpose is unclear. The serpent shook his head.

"Where did this rumor come from?" A golden glow shone in his left eye.

"There was only one person who came out of that mysterious place. His name was Krieg, a close confidant of Nestory, and a former priest who had been expelled for sneaking into the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. As soon as the big snake said this, not only the golden eyes, but even the black gold, who had always been silent, couldn't help but change his face.

"You mean......" Golden Eyes asked in a trembling voice.

"What did Nestori do when she came out?" Qingzhu then asked.

"When he returned, it was as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison and turned into a green monster. Before he died, he shouted to the believers: 'I have seen the cherubim and the key!' When the word key was spoken, a frenzied glint erupted in the serpent's eyes.

"Cherubim and the Key......" Hearing the words of the serpent, the golden light in the left eye of the golden eye was like substance, and the body of the green spider was trembling slightly, and even the black gold almost did not hold the spear in his hand.

"Is this true?" Goldeneye muttered softly.

"You think both major organizations eat dry food? They did everything they could to find this place, and there must be a reason. The big snake said coldly.

"Beavers, why do they need something like that?" The green spider asked coldly.

"The road is different." Orochi gave a vague and obscure answer.

"Why are you telling us this so easily?" Black Gold looked at the serpent with some wariness.

"It's not without a price, and you'll know when the time comes." The serpent ignored them and turned his head to look again in the direction of the crater.

At this time, there is one person who has been overlooked, and that is the silent steel ghost. While the Great Snake and the others were talking, the Steel Ghost had been burying his head in the instrument in his hand, but his face occasionally showed an unusual coldness.

Lu Qing walked with the beaver for a long time, but the steps still seemed to have no end. Gradually, Lu Qing's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it would be difficult to take every step, which was caused by the excessive tension in the leg muscles. However, the beaver in front of him was a little light and breezy, and his steps were as brisk as ever. Lu Qing didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't dare to stop. I can only grit my teeth desperately and keep up step by step.

As the minutes passed, Lu Qing's head seemed to have a problem, and some strange thoughts would pop up from time to time. If the beaver's torch goes out, will he be trapped here? If the beaver suddenly turns into a demon at this moment, can he turn around and run away in time? If a monster suddenly emerges from this bottomless pit and kills itself, will there be a later revelator repeating his own tragedy?

In the end, Lu Qing's thinking became more and more sluggish with his footsteps, and some voices that should not appear gradually entered his ears.

"Cousin, I've finally found you."

A wet figure appeared in front of Lu Qing, covered in mud, staring at him coldly.

"Xiao Qian?" When he saw his cousin, Lu Qing's nasal cavity suddenly soured.

"Cousin, I'm so cold, I'm so cold!" The cousin's voice gradually became resentful and angry.

Hearing his cousin's questioning, a deep sense of guilt came to his heart, and his aunt's helpless crying still echoed in his ears.

"I was trying to save you......"

"I'm cold!" The cousin roared wildly. At this moment, Lu Qing's palm felt a coldness, and when he lowered his head, he saw a little girl holding him.

"Brother Lu Qing, I have so much pain in my body."

"Lily?" Lu Qing recognized the little girl and was shocked.

At this time, Lily's body was on fire, and her tender skin was also scorched in the flames, revealing bright red subcutaneous tissues.

"Lily, I'm sorry." Lu Qing squatted down and hugged Lily tightly in her arms, tears sliding down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Excuse me? You killed my child, a sorry sentence is enough? At this time, Sister-in-law Liu, who was disheveled, also appeared in front of Lu Qing, screaming hysterically.

"Not enough, it's not enough. You disaster, if it weren't for you, how could I quarrel with my wife? How could I have killed her if I hadn't quarreled with her? The family you ruined, I won't let you go. The voice of the landlord Lao Hu also came from behind him. When Lu Qing turned around suddenly, he saw Lao Hu, who was hanging in the air by his belt, spitting out his bright red tongue and making angry accusations.
