The three men who continued on the road did not talk about what they had seen last night, but sped up their journey.

I don't know if it was the good fortune of last night's scene, they didn't encounter too strong wind and snow all day, walked smoothly, and arrived in Coolenville almost in the evening.

Before he set out, Leo gathered some information about Coolenville, and he discovered that Coolenville was not just a fishing town, it was also the second largest seaport in the Dailiat, and that countless northern catches were transported from here to all parts of the South every year, and that the people who lived in Coolenville were either fishermen or workers in the fishing processing workshops.

Unlike other places where steam engines have been used to process the catch, Cullenville has always used manual operations to process the catch, and the original delicious silver barracuda has made the catch here in short supply and the price is high, and it is one of the high-quality ingredients in the world.

Cullenville started as a small fishing village and now has become the second largest seaport, and has undergone a total of seven expansions, but because of the builders' disregard for urban planning, these expansions have made the entire city's roads and urban areas very chaotic, and almost everyone who comes to Coolenville thinks that Coolenville is a huge labyrinth, and they don't know where they are going if they are not careful.

When Leo and the others came to the outskirts of Cullenville, Cullenville appeared in front of them in the distance, the blood mist was very thick, and the strong sea breeze could not blow them away, and the buildings in the city were blurred in the blood mist.

At this time, a group of troops who had been stationed here for a long time to prevent others from breaking in stopped the three men, and said that Leo and the others were ready to drive them away as those idle curiosity seekers.

However, after showing the certificate issued by the palace minister, Kerry Fao, these army members understood that Leo was invited by the palace minister to investigate the blood mist, so they no longer prevented the three from entering, but only looked at the three of them with a little more sympathy, as if they had foreseen that the three of them would go and never return.

"Did the people who went to the city investigate leave anything behind?" Leo asked as the soldier was about to leave with his men to continue patrolling elsewhere.

The officer looked at Leo in full armor, then at the two abyssal swords, then turned to the soldiers beside him and said, "Take them to the warehouse and give them what those people left behind." ”

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately walked up to Leo, told the three of them to follow him, and then walked a distance north to an abandoned hamlet on the outskirts of Cullenville.

Now this small village has become a barracks for the garrison army, because it is not on the front line of the battlefield, the guards here seem to be very lax, just ask a few words to the soldiers, without verifying the situation, and let them in.

After that, the soldier led the three of them to a clearing, pointed to the room in the middle of the clearing, and said: "The things you want are all in there, and after the people of the previous investigation team also disappeared there, the head sealed this place, and the things are still the same, we haven't touched them." ”

Leo could see that not only the soldier was very suspicious of the house, but also the other soldiers in the barracks, who did not dare to approach the house, and even demolished all the houses around the house, making way for a vacant lot, leaving the house standing alone.

"Is there anything strange in this house?" Sylvia, who also noticed that something was wrong, asked the soldier directly.

I don't know if it was because of Sylvia's striking appearance or because of her ability, but the soldier, who was still a little nervous, calmed down a little and told him about the house.

It turned out that after the accident of the last investigation team, some soldiers stationed in the army with empty pockets wanted to see if they could find something from the relics of the investigation team and sell it, so they switched positions with the soldiers who patrolled at night, and after dark, everyone went to sleep, and took advantage of their duties to sneak into this room to steal the contents of the house.

After that, no one knew what happened to those people in the house, but when the soldiers of the next squad came to change the guard, they found that the people were missing, and the officers in the army were alarmed.

At first, the officers thought that the soldiers had left their posts without permission and had gone to a nearby town to have fun, but when they searched the hut, they found that all the soldiers who had disappeared before were here, except that each of them had their eyes gouged out, their ears pierced, their tongues cut out, and the skin from their chests to their abdomen peeled off, and they were all alive and not dead.

Later, after investigation, it was found that all the tragic injuries on these people were caused by themselves, and the things they took out were neatly placed in some jars in the house.

Because of this incident, the people in the entire barracks knew that the missing investigation team should have found something from Cullenville, but the palace sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find anything, and finally they could only temporarily seal things here, and the people in the barracks were also worried about what unforeseen disasters would encounter, so they demolished all the buildings around the house and created a simple isolation zone.

After listening to the soldier's account, Sylvia turned to Leo and asked, "What do you think about this?"

"There's a force entrenched there, much like the power of sinful karma. When the soldier introduced the situation, Leo's spiritual network had already sensed the situation over there, and said in a deep voice.

With that, he walked towards the room, Sylvia and Tessa Mocha following closely behind.

When she came to the door of the house, Tessa Mocha frowned, looked at the house with a look of disgust on her face, and said, "There is something very evil in this. ”

Sylvia glanced at the other party and said, "We don't need you to tell us about this kind of thing." ”

Leo opened the door and walked in, and said to Sylvia, who was about to follow, "Don't come in yet." ”

After saying that, without waiting for Sylvia to respond, he closed the door with his hand.

Sylvia frowned, didn't say anything, and waited outside the door with Tessa Mocha.

The reason why Leo didn't let Sylvia enter this room was because the power of this room was a little strange, the moment he opened the door, he actually felt that the crystallized snake in his arm was about to move, obviously the source of the similar power of sin karma in the room had an inexplicable attraction to the power of the abyss, and he was worried that the abyss demon dragon bloodline in Sylvia's body would be attracted by this power, and what unpredictable changes would happen, so he stopped Sylvia from the door.

Entering the door, Leo looked at everything in front of him, this room was converted from a warehouse, divided into two floors, the upper floor should be a place to rest, and the lower floor is a place to do research, in the lower floor are placed some tables, shelves, on these tables and shelves are placed some materials, bottles and tools.

Leo sensed the source of the power of sin through the crystallized serpent, and walked directly to the source.

I saw him walk to the second floor, and found that the beds and wardrobes on the second floor had been artificially moved aside, and there was a large open space in the middle.

There is a pattern resembling a magic circle in the clearing, and some transparent jars containing human wonders such as eyeballs, tongues, and human skins are placed around the magic circle, which looks like some kind of ritual.

In the middle of the magic array, there is a book, but this book is very special, it can't be seen with ordinary eyes, and can only be seen clearly through spiritual vision, which is also the source of the power of similar sinful karma.

The book was right in front of him, but Leo didn't rush forward to pick it up, but looked carefully at the magic array arranged on the ground.

This magic array is very different from the Turing root arrangement technique of the Velen world, and there are no occult elements related to the Velen world in it, so it is conceivable that this magic array should not be from the Velen world, just like the rune circles and warlock circles that Leo knows come from other worlds.

Leo tried to find something related to this magic circle in the knowledge of the abyss and the abyss, and soon he found some clues, in this magic circle, there were two symbols representing the two monsters in the abyss, the eternal sin of Yutos and the gluttonous card.

There is not much information about these two monsters, Leo just knows that these two monsters are hovering between the abyss and the abyss, they are two monsters that are very famous in the abyss, and it seems that there are many abyssal creatures who want to kill them, but they have always survived, which means that their strength is extraordinary.

"Is this summoning Jutos and Ka?" Leo looked at it closely, and the scene in front of him was more like a sacrifice, and he couldn't help but think of what he had done in Frigila Manor.

Soon he was sure that this magic array was not in danger, because the magic array itself seemed to be incomplete, and in the end the whole ritual was not completed.

Thinking of this, Leo stepped forward and picked up the transparent book on the ground, and the moment he picked up the book, Leo felt a power of both abyssal and abyssal breath burrowing into his body, and some auditory hallucinations appeared in his ears, and a complete magic array pattern and ritual process also appeared in his mind, and a strong impulse surged out in his heart to complete this magic array and ritual.

For the average person, the urge was strong enough to make anyone lose their minds, enough to prompt them to do anything crazy, but to Leo it was like a breeze that only made him feel slightly cool.

And the power that penetrated into his body was immediately devoured by the crystallized serpent before he had time to make trouble, and as the power was devoured, the transparent book in his hand also revealed its form, and the energy fluctuations around him that caused the abnormal movement of the crystallized serpent also subsided.

Leo did not rush to open the book, but took the book downstairs, opened the door, and motioned for the two people outside the house to come in.

When Sylvia and Tessa Mocha entered the room, they immediately saw the book in Leo's hand.

The two of them reacted completely differently to the book, Tessa Mocha's face turned extremely ugly as if she had seen something terrible, and she closed her eyes, turned her head to the side, and took two steps back away from the book.

Sylvia, on the other hand, stepped forward and looked at the book in Leo's hand with an excited expression, and a smile of surprise appeared on her face.

"Do you recognize what this book is?" asked Leo after seeing Sylvia's performance.

"Hmm!" Sylvia nodded, then looked at Tessa and said in disguise, "Among the knowledge I have obtained, there is a record of this book, but in my memory, this book should have been destroyed." ”

"This book really should be destroyed, and the evil of this book can be felt just by looking at it. Tessa Mocha suddenly interjected: "I can even feel that nature is distorted in this book, this book is completely anti-natural, and I suggest destroying it." ”

"A fool would destroy it!" Sylvia turned her head and glared at Tessa Mocha fiercely, then yelled at her, "Do you know the value of this book?

"Humph!" Tessa Mocha didn't retort, just snorted coldly.

"What's the book called?" asked Leo.

"It's called a confession!" Sylvia said in a deep voice.

"Confessions?" Leo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the name, because from the name, it looked like he was talking about a church book, not a book of the abyss.

"It's a strange name, isn't it!" Sylvia smiled and said, "No one knows how this book came to be in the Abyss, only that any creature of the Abyss who has seen this book, if they can't withstand the power of the Confessional, will repent of their past mistakes from the bottom of their hearts, and then they will sacrifice all the most precious things of their own people to the Confessional, including life." ”

"What if you could withstand the power of the Confessional?" asked Leo again.

"I don't know. Sylvia shook her head and said, "As far as I know, it seems that no abyssal creature has yet been able to withstand the power of the Confessional. ”

After listening to Sylvia's description, Leo frowned slightly, and at the same time, a puzzled look appeared on his face, because he really didn't feel any great power in this confession.

"This confession is fake. At this time, Sylvia raised the book in front of the book, looked at the patterns on it carefully, and suddenly said.

"Fake?" Leo wasn't surprised, for the same thought had occurred to him just a moment ago.

"If it's a real confession, I'm afraid you and I have already been infected by it as soon as we got close, and then went crazy, how can we still have such a calm conversation?" Sylvia replied simply, then touched the cover with her finger and said, "But even if it is fake, the value of this book is extraordinary, and the cover of this book can be made of the skin of a skinner." ”
