It was a stone gate similar to the overall style of the prison, three meters high and nearly five meters wide, with some vague lines carved on the gray and yellow surface of the old texture, and it was covered in fine dust, which looked like it had not moved for a long time. Yucente stopped in front of him, staring solemnly at the surface of the door, or more accurately, at the faint lines.

"Could it be that this gate has another mechanism?"

Based on this, Chen Xi guessed that through the dim light emitted by the lampposts on both sides of the passage, he could vaguely distinguish the general outline of the lines in the dark environment, which was a low plant bearing a lot of fruits, a bit like an apple tree.

As a person who likes to pay attention to details, Chen Xi quickly counted them, no more, no less, exactly 72 fruits.

By this time, Yucente seemed to have already considered what to do, and stretched out his hand to connect the dots on the pattern of the seventy-two fruits according to a certain pattern.

And Gu Bernard, who was left behind, also stepped forward, sighing: "This is the first time I have entered here since I became archbishop, and this door has not been opened for almost fifteen years, starting from the late former archbishop Senger. Stretching out his right hand to get close to the tangled root lines under the plant, he pressed a white gold ring on his middle finger into a visible indentation, and the two matched perfectly.

Then, a brilliant golden light rises, and the tree-like lines are lit up one after another from the roots, and the old dust that adheres to it falls like gold dust. The mysterious patterns hidden inside the fruit patterns also emerge one by one.

Not only did the evolutionaries who had just entered the world darken their eyes, but even the well-informed veteran demon hunters couldn't tell what these patterns represented.

They are so strange, they look like wheels but have more than a dozen eyes and hundreds of wings, which are trivial, and more strange things that cannot be described by human imagination, as if they are real visitors from another world. But their main focus is not on that.

In fact, during the ten minutes that Yucente and Gubernard explained, some people were secretly shocked by the size of the prison while paying attention to the content.

It's even bigger than the area of the police station building that is placed on the ground for cover.

Even as they walked, their pace was much slower, and the passage was tortuous and changeable, and the distance they really moved was not as far as it felt. You can count it by their speed. It was still enough to walk a block, but only then did they seem to be truly in the heart of the prison.

Not to mention, want to fill this prison. How many outliers need to be imprisoned.

"At least in the thousands. And on the premise of non-stop trials. And that's just the amount per day! ”

In another sense, many of those present understood that the cruelty of the worldly realm of being gradually assimilated into hell would be far beyond the level of their previous battles.

So. When they heard Yucente say that "the situation will not be so simple" and was about to open the door, they all looked at each other in fear, and the evolutionaries who were mixed in with it secretly complained in their hearts, they already had a clear understanding of the difficulty of the task in their hearts: "I'm afraid that when the difficulty of the mission reaches the highest level, we may have to face an invasion from the otherworldly realm!" ”

In this case, everyone held their breath and watched with awe and fear as the door slowly opened in a palpable tremor.

And when Gubernard withdrew the ring and stood with Yucente, everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of the gradually brightening door, and they became dumbfounded.

Because there was something behind the door that was beyond their imagination.

It is not a specific physical object, but a large cloud of indescribable filthy substance, floating in the air on an altar-like building, between the physical and the illusory, as if a large number of mist particles have been condensed, but there is no obstruction in the line of sight, if you barely want to go to the overview, it can only be said that it is the kind of old-fashioned exhaust gas mass that has just been sprayed out of the exhaust pipe of the car without a dirt purification device, constantly tumbling and expanding, so that people want to avoid it immediately when they see it, so as not to be contaminated with the bad luck of that body.

And in fact, they did just that.

As soon as they looked over, everyone, including Chen Xi, looked away as if they had been stung in the eye by a wasp, and immediately looked away as if they were reflexively moved.

Because for a while, he already felt deeply inappropriate.

With the traction of the gaze, the filthy substance actually released a large number of negative emotions, directly rushing towards the consciousness of everyone who was looking at it.

Suddenly, he seemed to have entered a world composed of countless bloody and cruel pictures and countless perverse and tyrannical voices, where there were only three monotonous colors: black, white, and red, and a large number of strange lines that cut off the sound of the picture extended from the distant sky to the end of the earth, and the part of its interval, like the soul being tortured to the point of infinite distortion, this kind of unbelievable image directly shocked him to the point of losing his mind, shaking his will, and the whole person's state felt bad.

And, in this hurried glance, he had noticed a terrifying image that many people would never forget.

That black and filthy substance was not rolling and expanding like smoke at all, but the act of countless hideous and terrifying things trying to break through some invisible shackles and descend on this world from the inside out, and the crazy energy it carried made Chen Xi sweat a little in his heart.

"Damn, I was almost scared to death!"

Chen Xi rarely admitted that he was frightened, but no one would laugh at him, because except for Yucente and Gu Bernard, who had been prepared, everyone behaved the same, and they were really frightened!

And in the same way, with the return of sanity and consciousness, a great question comes over everyone here.

"What the hell is this, it's horrible!"

As if seeing their doubts, Yucente gave a direct answer.

"This is one of the many gates of hell that exist in the worldly realm, and it is the largest one!"

Yucente stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to look at the altar: "Just don't stare at it." There won't be any problems. ”

After everyone had done what he said, he explained: "In fact, the gates of hell do not refer to specific things, such as doors, passages, etc., but are special areas that have existed in both reality and hell since ancient times. ”

"It would be very difficult for me to explain the concept, so you just need to understand that what your eyes see is only a projection of an area acting on the spiritual plane, and it has no effect on dead and soulless objects at all. Only under certain conditions. will form a real region that coexists in the two worlds for a short period of time, allowing the two sides to come and go freely, and this requires a lot of price. ”

As he spoke, Yucente grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and threw it over the altar.

Two seconds later. Walking through the filthy substance without hindering the dust that fell proved that Yucente was right. But Chen Xi is different from other people who are ignorant and can only listen and dare not look. He kept his eyes on every detail of the dust movement. Even if you need to endure the onslaught of negative emotions for this.

So, he noticed that the dust went over the edge of the altar and into the area where the filth was. Those beings with hideous faces subconsciously made a move to avoid it, and only after seeing what came in clearly did they return to normal.

Speaking of which, this slightly different state was only for a short moment, so only a few bold and careful people such as Chen Xi observed it at the scene. They invariably did not draw attention to the language sickness in Yucente's words, but buried the results of this observation in their hearts.

As if he had known the results of the Dao, Yucente immediately said after throwing his hand: "Actually, many of you should have seen the appearance of the Gates of Hell, such as the sacrifices held by those aliens in certain places, the purpose is to open the Gates of Hell nearby in a short period of time and release more aliens. ”

"Hey, stop, Your Excellency Captain Yucente, although I understand every word you say, I don't understand it when you put it together."

The voice was obviously a senior witcher, and the black city control uniform couldn't hide the vicissitudes of life that he had experienced a lot of things, so until now, he still had the courage and strength to question the possible problems in it.

"I've been in a similar situation, and the aliens I killed will reappear, but the scene at that time is not as exaggerated as it is now, I have never seen a hell gate as big as this smoke, only a crack that is difficult to see with the naked eye, and a huge coercion against the spirit. In fact, I used to think of the Gates of Hell as a rift between two planes. ”

"That's why I said, what you see now is the largest hell gate in the entire world, and the part below it that looks like an altar is actually the center of a super giant magic array covering the entire northern region of Staple, relying on the effect of the magic array, all the hell gates in the entire Staple area are gathered, accounting for a total of a quarter of the known number of existing hell gates."

"Don't doubt how Staple, who doesn't have a large area, has so many gates of hell, because it was the source of the Black Death outbreak more than seven hundred years ago, and it is also the center of the largest number of dark creatures."

It was only then that Yucente told the others what the remnants of humanity and the Light Cult had done.

Saint Peter risked great danger, with the Holy Cross, the supreme treasure of the Holy Light Cult and seven willing apostles, went deep into the center of the enemy, fearlessly sacrificed himself to expand the [Land of the Sage], and cooperated with the three major knights, priests, and ascetics who followed, and wiped out all the dark creatures gathered in the Staple area whose strength was weakened to the lowest point, so that humanity gained breathing room and laid a solid foundation for the successful counterattack on the Dark Council in the last round.

"But what does that have to do with us here?" Someone asked.

"Of course it has a lot to do with it." Yucente replied unhurriedly, "This is your main task in the future."

"In order to prevent the number of dark creatures from returning to its strongest level, in the first fifty years of relatively peaceful time since the establishment of the Staple Dynasty, it spent a lot of energy and materials to build this magic array, gathering all the gates of hell within the Staple range and concentrating them in one place, that is, the area where we are now, and then, in the center of the magic array, we built a [Divine Purification and Demon Hunting] passage in all directions, as a hunting ground for those aliens who dare to break into the real world."

"And the meaning of Fieldland in the ancient language of Staple is specifically [hunting ground], in the past, no alien could break through the range of Fieldland to reach the outside! However, in the past three months, we suddenly discovered that the passage of the [God Purifying Demon Seeking Demon] has actually become a place for those aliens to come and go freely, not only killing people in it, but also wantonly destroying corpses and destroying traces, so that we can not find flaws. ”

Yucente's tone became a little urgent as he said this, "So I need you to find out what caused this terrible situation, and where they might be hiding. ”

"I see, we get it."

Everyone nodded and said, hearing that it was just that the investigation did not have to fight hard with the aliens, they were a little relieved that there was no way, the previous foreshadowing was too high-end and high-grade, and they could not be worried, but fortunately, the result was not too bad, so someone asked: "Where is the passage?"

As it turned out, they were relieved too soon, because Yucente spat out these five words.

"City Sewers!" (To be continued......)
