【Cruise Shichiyokai Stronghold】

The sunset outside the window has long since ended the day's journey, hidden under the foot of the mountain, without a trace. The shops on both sides of the street have also begun to close, but a few shops are still brightly lit and crowded, this is the tavern in the Cruise area, the waiters are busy, and almost all the residents of the town will come to patronize, and at the end of the busy day, sit in the tavern and taste the unique wine of Cruise and the hearty fruit barbecue, touching the knees for a long chat, especially comfortable. Even though it's night, the Cruise area is still so charming, with the noise of people, the unique aroma of wine, the aroma of fruit and roast, all of which are so peaceful.

At this time, Gig in the hall was still standing in front of the window, having no time to care about the scenery outside the window, but his face was serious, not knowing what he was thinking, and the waltz was also on the chair, his face was solemn, although it looked very leisurely, but it looked unnatural.

"Waltz, have the others been informed" Gig stood there, eager

"It's all noticed, but a few people will be a little late to get here"

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and there were already two men of about forty years old kneeling on one knee in front of the door, one of them was full of stubble, black hair with a little white hair, but the body was extraordinarily developed, a body of muscles, perhaps because of the usual exercise, wearing priestly robes, and a huge rosary around his body. The other man was slightly thin, but the muscles of his arms were very developed, he wore a head like an eagle on his head, and he could still see gray hair, except for his mouth and eyes, his face was all wrapped in bandages, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were as sharp as eagle's eyes, and he was wearing a gorgeous costume and a silver revolver at his waist.

"My lord, I don't know what is going on to summon us here so eagerly," said one of the able-bodied men, but in a humble tone.

"Get up, Barton, Michelle, you've come all the way here, thank you," Gig said, turning and motioning for them to sit down.

"The situation is serious, I'll make a long story short, because of the magnetic field fluctuation last time, the radiant warlock-Ka Xiu and the giant sword master-Lin were sent to the periphery of the endless corridor to check the instruments, and when they were on a mission, they met the former Seven Yao Society Soul Sword Blade-Bane, Ka Xiu was seriously injured and has been sent to the infirmary, although there is no danger to his life, but I think this matter is a little strange, so I summoned the members of the Seven Yao Society to discuss their views and suggestions on this matter, and the other members are already on the way" Gig looked at Barton and Michelle, then turned away and looked out the window, as if thinking about something.

"What Bane, I didn't expect him to actually hurt Kaxiu into a serious injury, it seems to have become much stronger, but why did he appear in the Endless Corridor, even with his strength, he didn't dare to wander alone in the Endless Corridor" Michelle looked very surprised, and then fell into deep thought, as if thinking about something.

"Soul Blade-Bane, I've heard of it, but looking at the bishop's appearance, it doesn't seem that he's worried about Bane's strength, but who is behind him to help him" Barton's serious expression, as if he didn't care about the details of the matter, then lowered his head and began to fall into deep thought.

"Barton, you only joined our Seven Yao Society later, so you don't know much about Bane, but you're right, Bane's strength is not very worried, the key is who is behind him, I also saw a person standing next to him when he entered the depths of the Endless Corridor Corridor, looking like a child"

"In other words, there are still people, it seems that Barton has deduced correctly, what is their purpose, and who will be the person behind it, everything must go to the Endless Corridor to know, is that what it means, Lord Bishop" Michelle looked at Gig and said solemnly.

"Yes, the purpose of this gathering is to discuss entering the endless corridor again and exploring the truth, but Bane's strength should not be underestimated, the weapon in his hand is said to be one of the artifacts of the king's relics, which can cut through any object, the target is defenseless, and immune to the effects of all Horcruxes, although it will not cause damage to the surface of the body, but it can cut the inside of the body, plus his ability [double erosion] is also very terrifying, and can cause mental and physical erosive damage to the target. As for the kid next to him, I'm sure it's very powerful," Gig looked back at Barton and Michelle, thoughtful.

"Does the bishop mean to tell me and Michelle to go to the Endless Corridor again" Barton still buried his head, thinking about things.

"No, to be precise, you go first, and the other members will come later, but if there is any danger, stop the search, evacuate quickly, and leave the affairs here to Waltz for the time being, and I will go to Smith to report and consult with him."

"Without further ado, let's head to the Endless Corridor now," Michelle and Barton said before leaving.

"Remember, evacuate immediately in case of danger, the enemy is still unclear in numbers and strength, so don't act rashly, everything is life first, you must remember" Gig said earnestly, and then lowered his head, his face looking extremely worried.

With the sound of distant footsteps, Waltz looked at Giger, as if he had something to say, but choked up again, and then sighed.

【Cohen Exorcism Guild Headquarters】

It is already evening, the people living in the Cohen area are singing and dancing at this time, and the ingenious Coen people like to make some simple musical instruments, including violins, flutes, organs, and some common musical instruments. In addition to this, the difference between the Cohen area and other regions is that they like to brew a kind of milk tea, called Kosuke's milk tea, after many years of research and improvement by the people of Cohen, the milk tea is not as mellow and delicious, and after drinking, there is a feeling of being in nature, which makes them feel relaxed and happy, accompanied by beautiful and moving songs and dances, here is simply a paradise on earth.

At this time, Smith, the president of the Exorcist Guild, was wearing a white and gold priest's robe, although he was already a flower armor, his head was gray, and his face was wrinkled, but his eyes were bright, and he was kneeling in the center of the church, with his hands folded, facing the majestic and tall statue of the goddess Missilline, as if praying for something.

The door of the church slowly opened, and a man who seemed to be in his forties walked in, wearing a military uniform, with a long sword at his waist, without a bit of stubble on his face, looking very delicate, and wanting to have scimitar-like eyebrows and sharp eyes, giving people a sense of majesty, and was hurrying towards Smith at this time.

"Excuse me, Lord Smith, I don't know why I was summoned here" The man in military uniform looked at Smith very politely.

"Siruf, you're here, don't be so restrained" Smith slowly got up, turned around, and signaled etiquette.

"Is it about the Endless Corridor, but it's too exaggerated, as for alarming the Gendarmerie Corps, I'm a little overwhelmed as the head of the Gendarmerie Corps" Siruf looked at Smith, a little embarrassed.

"I'm the same as you think, but Gig asked you to come by name in the letter, and he should be on his way here now, and if there is any problem, you can explain it to him" Smith smiled slightly, and his expression was very peaceful.

"Well, that's all," Siruf shook his head and said helplessly.

【Entrance to the Endless Corridor】

"Arrived"

Barton and Michelle looked around, and it was pitch black because it was night, and the trees shuddered as the wind blows.

"Let's go inside, time is pressing, but be careful," Barton said to Michelle.

Michelle didn't speak, and kept up with Barton, who and Michelle took out the spotlight to illuminate the road ahead, except for the withered vines and the corpses of weathered soul beasts.

"It's like a graveyard for soul beasts, and it looks lifeless," Barton said as he looked around, expressionless

"It's a painful memory for me," Michelle said, looking ahead, as if thinking about something.

"Everybody can't look back on the past, and reminiscing about this kind of thing will only make you fall into endless pain, deep down," Barton mused.

"Do you know about the Battle of Doom" Michelle looked at Barton, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't.

"Does this have anything to do with your memories" Barton knew that Michelle was about to stop talking, and did not directly answer Michelle's question.

"Lucifer, the messenger of the earth, is my father, and this is the last time I will see him," Michelle looked at the sky and didn't continue.

"So the seal in your body is also because of this," Barton didn't seem so surprised.

"That's right" Michelle didn't say much, just two words

"Then are you still afraid of death" Barton looked at Michelle with a very determined look in his eyes.

"Death is a matter of time for me"

The two did not continue to talk, but quickened their pace and continued on their way.

【Cohen Exorcism Guild Headquarters】

"He's coming," Smith smiled slightly, his eyes slowly opening.

"Teacher, Siruf is here, I'm really sorry to let you come here in your busy schedule," Jig politely signaled to the two of them.

"Gig, what the hell are you calling me for" Siruf looked at Jig, his face expressionless, very serious.

"This is not the place to talk, let's change to a quiet place," Gig motioned for the two to follow him.

【Outer Corridor of the Endless Corridor】

"Along the way, we didn't find anything, and it looks like we have to move on," Barton looked around.

"It's really strange, along the way, except for the place where Kaxiu passed by, there were no traces of fighting and the corpses of soul beasts, which seemed very strange. Michelle looked around, thoughtful.

"We're careful in the middle of the endless corridor, we don't encounter any danger along the way, and the enemy is likely to be hiding or in the middle drive," Barton said, starting to quicken his pace.

"Someone's coming," Bane said to the little boy beside him, looking at the blurred light in the distance.

"Michelle, do you feel it, there's someone in front" Patton had already pulled out his revolver with a serious face.

"What should come should come, hurry up, I want to see what the hell is sacred," he said, and began to quicken his pace.

"Heh, it looks like they've spotted us and are hurrying over, I'll deal with them," Cassius said to the little boy beside him.

"Let me come, they're too strong" The little boy was expressionless, his eyes were blank, his white robe looked very tattered, and he was barefoot, looking innocent and cute.

A trajectory passed through the little boy's cheek, and the little boy twisted his head straight, and there seemed to be no blood coming out of his face, but it healed quickly, and his eyes looked into the distance.

"It's rude to say hello," Bane looked at Barton and Michelle, not the least surprised, but rather very casual.

"Bane, long time no see, don't come unharmed" Michelle looked at Bane, but then looked intently at the little boy next to Bane, carefully observing the little boy's every move.

"Who are you, and why don't you feel a breath" Barton also looked at the little boy, surprised.

"I'm a member of King's Wings, ranked third, Soul Control-Nia" The little boy looked at Barton and Michelle, still expressionless.

【Soul Tomb of the Screaming Cave】

The Cave of Sorrow is a cave located southwest of the Elder Empire, and its structure is vertical compared to the Endless Corridor. The Cave of Sorrow is divided into three layers, the first layer of the Soul Mound, the second layer of the Thorn Swamp, and the third layer of the King's Ruins. At this time, there were three figures walking on the first floor of the soul mound, and the soul mound was surrounded by the corpses of soul beasts, which were unobstructed, and this place was simply hell. The soul beast lurked in the dark corner, staring at the walking figure with dead eyes, and let out a series of strange screams.

"Sotros, we have to pick up the pace," said the man at the front.
