The door was not locked, Chen Fan opened it with a light touch, and the three of them walked in unscrupulously, only to see that this room was not very big, two bedrooms and one living room, and the architecture of the building was a bit like a modern style.
In the middle of the hall, there is a round wooden table, a sumptuous dinner is placed on the table, a total of three pairs of chopsticks, it can be speculated that this room is inhabited by three people, but the dishes and chopsticks on the table are not multiplied with food, obviously the owner of this house is preparing to eat dinner.
Chen Fan stood in the hall and looked around, and found that this place was very ordinary, it was simply an ordinary house, and there was no suspicious place at all.
At this time, Luo Qingyun and Yue Wuya also walked out of the two rooms respectively, Luo Qingyun said: "This room should be the child's room, except for the toys scattered all over the ground, the other furnishings are also very neat, but no one was found." ”
"It's the same in my room!" Yue Wuya said, "I look at the decorations should be the couple in this room, but I haven't found the owner of this room." ”
"Why is this happening?" Hearing the report of the two, Chen Fan muttered to himself puzzled.
"Why don't we go to another house to have a look?" Luo Qingyun suggested, "Or maybe this family just happens to be absent." ”
Although this "just something" is not convincing, after all, at dinner time, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to have something to deal with at this time when you should be resting. But the probability is not zero, so Chen Fan and Yue Wuya also agreed with Luo Qingyun's words and decided to take a look at other homes.
The three of them walked through several houses in a row. The situation was similar to that of this one, although the house was lit and neatly furnished, and although it was dinner time and there were different foods on the table, no one could find it. It was as if all the people of the city had disappeared at the same moment, however. It was so sudden and fast that it didn't give them time to pack their bags or finish dinner.
If the word "strange" is used to describe this incident, it is better to use "weird"! Amagi is a big city after all. The number of inhabitants inside is at least tens of thousands, who is it, and what method can be used to turn these tens of thousands of people into nothingness in an instant? Is there really such a terrible person or thing in the world?
Standing on the quiet street. Stand in a city that is brightly lit but empty. The mood of the three of them became more and more uneasy, I don't know if this kind of thing has anything to do with Nengjing, in short, with this abnormal situation, this city is likely to have some mutations that I don't know what it is just now.
Faced with this situation, everyone doesn't know what to do, this feeling is like standing on a desert island in the middle of the sea, and the three people who were afraid of being discovered by others just now suddenly have an urge to be discovered by others. After all, a dead city is not something that the trio likes to see.
Luo Qingyun asked uneasily, "Where are the residents, why can't there be a single person in the whole city?"
"I don't know very well, and this is the first time I've encountered this situation. Chen Fan's face also looked very uneasy. said: "Qingyun, can you use your energy to probe the current situation?"
Luo Qingyun shook his head and said, "My energy can only be limited to disappearing one person at a time, and if tens of thousands of people disappear together, it is basically impossible. ”
"Damn!" Yue Wuya punched the wall, gritted his teeth, and said, "What happened in this city, could it be that for the kinetic energy crystal, the old man caught everyone and bled everyone?"
Chen Fan replied: "These people are ordinary people, and their blood is not spiritual blood, even if they really want their blood, it is impossible to activate the energy crystal, right?"
"Knock, knock!" At this moment, the sound of eight bells was heard in the distance, indicating that it was eight o'clock.
"Hit the bell, is there anyone else in this city?" Hearing the bell, the three of them immediately lifted their emotions, and they all looked at the source of the sound.
It was a sealed stone chamber with no windows, and it was very dark, and in this stone chamber the size of a basketball court, it was filled with running magic arrays and carved arrays, and strange symbols that emitted dim light filled the entire stone room, swimming back and forth on the walls, as if some dark ritual was going to be performed.
In the center of the stone chamber was a stone coffin, which was not covered, so that it could be seen lying in the coffin covered with flowers, and Rose was lying among the flowers, but she remained motionless and closed her eyes serenely, like a sleeping beauty waiting for the prince to come.
Standing in front of the coffin was an old man with an old dragon bell and a woman with a mask, I saw that the old man was wearing a gorgeous white gold-rimmed brocade robe, a white cool beard, and his face was full of wrinkles, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked at Rose lying in the coffin with that smiling expression, and the woman wearing the mask stood next to the old man, and she said to the old man with a smile: "Bishop, Neng Jing has completely integrated into the body of this girl from the Montessori clan, and I believe that we will soon be able to absorb all the spiritual blood in her body, and then our dream can come true." ”
The old man nodded, and said earnestly, "If it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't want to use this method to save the world. ”
"The trend of the times, this is not a reality that we can change by ourselves, even if the bishop is supernatural, it is impossible to change the great era, right?" The woman said very leisurely, although she was comforting, but listening to her tone was indeed instigating: "Since we can't change, then we can only follow the pace of the times, in order to save such a world, this method is already the only way out, so the bishop does not need to blame himself, your choice is not accidental, nor does it belong to you alone, but the necessity of the whole era." ”
"Is the time inevitable?" the old man chewed thoughtfully.
"The bishop does not need to be confused, you are the head of the church, and if even the bishop is confused, then we who are willing to follow the bishop will also hesitate. ”
Hearing the woman's words, the old man nodded. said: "You are right, I am the head of a sect, even if I am confused, how can I obey the people?"
The woman smiled. No more talking.
"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and the two walked in briskly side by side, these two were Ye Lin and Xing Hao.
The two of them came to the old man, bowed and saluted, "See the bishop." ”
The old man waved his hand to excuse him, and then said to them, "You have come just in time, and now the ceremony is in the middle of the ceremony, and I believe it will be a few hours." Our wish will be granted. ”
"Congratulations, Bishop!" the two replied in unison.
The woman said to the two of them flirtatiously, "I see that you are panicking, is something happening again?"
Hearing the woman's question, both of them glanced at her in unison. He ignored her, and then said to the old man, "Bishop, we have found an intruder in the city. ”
"Intruder, who's coming?" asked the old man with a casual look. It seemed that the presence of intruders was something he expected. It's like saying "don't bother at all".
"They are Chen Fan and others who have been hindering us. ”
As soon as Xing Hao finished speaking, Ye Lin hurriedly said, "Bishop, I beg you to send me to eliminate the invaders and give me a chance to atone for my sins." ”
Xinghao hurriedly said, "I'm willing to go with me!"
The old man didn't speak, and the woman chimed in: "Is it just a few mice that need to work for two elders?"
Ye Lin said rudely, "If you underestimate them, then you will suffer." ”
The woman scoffed, "It's as if you failed them twice?"
"What did you say!"
Seeing Ye Lin's anger, Xing Hao immediately stopped and said, "Ye Lin, you must not be rude in front of the bishop. ”
Hearing Xinghao's persuasion, Ye Lin "snorted" and stopped talking.
The old man ignored Ye Lin. He said to the woman, "Do you have any plan to hold them back or kill them?"
"Of course!" the smile on the woman's face became more and more sinister, "Don't we have a magic team?
"Demon Song Team?" Xing Hao was shocked when he heard this, "Wait a minute. It's not going to work......"
Before Xinghao finished speaking, the woman said in that flattering voice, "Then do you have any other better way?"
Ye Lin said, "It's up to us to drag them down!"
The woman asked rhetorically, "What if it fails?"
"There is absolutely no way to fail!"
"Hahaha!" The woman sneered three times and said, "Didn't you say that it was impossible to fail last time? In the end, it was not a mess, of course, I understand that you want to take revenge, but I also want you to understand that this is an extraordinary time, we can't allow the slightest failure, and if you two stop them, there is indeed a certain chance of success, but compared to using the Magic Song team, this success rate is a bit low." ”
Xing Hao rebuked angrily: "But if you use the Demon Qu Team, there will be a lot of sacrifices, do you understand?"
"Sacrifice is inevitable," the woman said lightly, "Aren't they happier to sacrifice for the sake of a better world?"
"But ......"
"That's enough!" Ye Lin was about to retort, but the old man interrupted in a serious tone: "You don't need to quarrel, as she said, now is a critical time, we can't be ruined by a few rats to ruin our feast, if there is a better way, of course, we must choose a better implementation." ”
"But Bishop!" Seung-ho begged, "If you use the 'Demon Song', many people will be sacrificed, is it not worth it?"
"Please think twice, Bishop!" Ye Lin also persuaded together: "For the sake of the great cause of the Bishop, even if we try our best, we will stop Chen Fan and their actions, so please give us a chance." ”
"You don't have to say more!" the old man raised his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, so you should go and prepare to use the 'magic song'." ”
Seeing the bishop's serious eyes, Ye Lin and Xing Hao also knew that it would be in vain to continue talking, so they could only respond with a "yes" and walk out.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, the woman also bowed to the old man and said, "In order to start the Demon Qu Team, then I will also go and prepare." ”
"Hmm!" the old man nodded and said, "Then everything outside will be left to you." ”
"Yes, it won't let you down!" the woman said. With a weird smile, he walked briskly towards the door.
The old man turned his gaze back to Rose, who was lying in the coffin, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He said to himself, "Our dream will soon come true!"
Hearing the bell, Chen Fan and the other three people looked at the source of the sound in unison.
In the distance, with the help of the bright light emitted by the light ball from the street, Luo Qingyun and they could see that there was a tall building in the center of the Heavenly City, which was very tall compared to the other house towers. The building that stands out from the crowd is pure white, and judging by its unique appearance, it is not wrong that the building should be a church.
Luo Qingyun had never seen a real church. Puzzled, he asked, "What's that tall thing?"
Yue Wuya speculated, "Judging by the shape, it should be a large church." ”
"What is a church?"
"Don't you even know about the church?" asked Luo Qingyun in a surprised tone.
Luo Qingyun had always lived in Jingyue Villa before, and had never visited other cities, and there were no churches or other buildings in Luozhen, even if he had traveled with Chen Fan for more than a month. Churches have not been encountered either. Therefore, this is the first time she has seen the church, and she doesn't know that it is normal for Luo Qingyun. But in Yue Wuya's view, buildings like churches are as ordinary as restaurants and clothing stores in this era, and when you see the top building, eight or nine are not far from ten, this common sense is also the basic knowledge that everyone knows, and the person in front of him actually doesn't know. It's a frightening ignorance.
Chen Fan quietly explained: "The church is the place where the congregation holds its activities. ”
For Luo Qingyun's foolish question of asking "what is a church", Chen Fan was no longer surprised.
"Oh!" Luo Qingyun touched his chin. Suddenly realized: "Then that is the underworld church?"
Chen Fan said disapprerovingly: "It should be, so that is the base camp of the underworld." ”
Yue Wuya asked, "But the people in the whole city are gone, why are the sect members of the underworld still in the mood to ring the bell there?"
Chen Fan said: "After all, the disappearance of the entire city is very likely to be caused by them, so it is not surprising that they don't feel strange about this, as if a murderer would be surprised by the person he killed?"
Luo Qingyun asked, "Then what should we do next?"
Chen Fan replied: "Since there is no one in the whole city, then it is impossible for us to inquire about Rose's news, and we can only go to the underworld church." ”
"Bravely break into the enemy formation all of a sudden?" Yue Wuya couldn't help but shout, this is not because Yue Wuya has no courage, but if he rushes into the enemy formation, no matter how he says it, it seems a little reckless.
However, it is Chen Fan's style to go straight, and besides, he is a master of art and bold, for Chen Fan, one of the super martial artists, it is the most normal to say this kind of thing!
"No, I also agree with Chen Fan's words this time!" Luo Qingyun said: "The enemy knows that there is no one in the city and rings the bell, it is obvious that it is for us, maybe they have already discovered us when we just entered the house to search, so there is no need to continue hiding now, since the enemy has invited us to go, we can only go to the meeting." ”
Hearing Luo Qingyun's words, Yue Wuya also felt that it made sense, and after nodding in agreement, the three of them walked towards the huge church in the center of the Heavenly City without hesitation.
The streets here are very developed, the interlocking roads divide the whole city very organized, most of the houses are three stories high, arranged on both sides of the street, it looks very like, and Chen Fan and they walk on the empty streets, these houses look like neatly arranged soldiers, but this is not like a support team to welcome tourists, with the dead silence of the streets and the cold wind through the bones, these houses are more like the ghosts who welcome to hell.
After walking four streets and turning six corners, it took them about half an hour before they finally came to the center of the Celestial City, which was dwarfed by the fact that the buildings in the city were not very dense and the streets were not narrow.
It is a large circular square, at least the size of two football fields, paved with white marble tiles, and the magnificent underground church stands in the center of the square.
Through the balls of light covered in the square, Luo Qingyun and they could see that the building was completely white, extremely tall, and looked very grand. On the left and right sides of the building are embedded with a sharp spire, as sharp as a sword. On the outside of the church, there is a huge six-pointed star pattern, and it is not difficult to speculate that this pattern is the emblem of the underworld, and the windows of the buildings are embedded with stained glass, if you just see these glasses, you will naturally feel pleasing to the eye, but these glasses are combined with the whole building and the current environment, a strange feeling is soft.
What surprised Chen Fan and the others was not this square or this church, but the sea of people surrounding the church, there were at least 30,000 people there, looking at their clothes, they were not wearing underworld robes, they should just be ordinary citizens, it turned out that not all the people in the city had disappeared, but they were all summoned here.
However, the movements of these people are very strange, everyone is hunched over, their heads are bowed and their eyes are closed, and their hands hang down weakly, as if they are sleepwalking, as if they have become a walking corpse, which looks very strange.
Seeing this situation, Luo Qingyun couldn't help but feel uneasy, and she asked, "What are these citizens doing here?"
Chen Fan also felt quite uneasy when he saw the crowd surrounding the Difu Church: "I don't know either, but I seem to have an ominous premonition." ”
"Ah......h
Seeing this situation, Luo Qingyun became more and more uneasy and shouted, "What do they want?"
Yue Wuya said, "They don't seem to welcome us much!"
"Be careful!" Chen Fan pulled out the Xuantian Ring Ruler, put on a combat posture, and said, "They should be manipulated by someone, looking at their appearance, they should be fighting us!"
"Fighting?" Luo Qingyun exclaimed: "The people of the underworld want to use civilians to fight us, and they actually use unrelated people, are all the cultists in the underworld crazy?"
