Chapter 19: Dark Shadows
Catherine took out a few lights from the "subspace backpack" and placed them on the periphery of the ruins, illuminating the entire area.
It didn't take long for Daniel to spot two quagmires at the entrance to the ruins, which looked exactly like the ones left behind by the death of the Blood Beast.
"It seems that this is where the two victims died."
Fran also leaned in to take a look: "The place is right, let's continue to look for where the exorcism ceremony was held, and what the filthy smell around this temple is." ”
The five slowly walked into the ruins, none of them being professionals who could not deduce the exact time when the temple was built from the situation inside the ruins.
And what sect the temple is dedicated to, and which god it is enshrined in.
However, through common sense, Daniel found the center of the temple, and he saw an empty area, and there was a notebook left behind outside the area.
Daniel raised his hand, and Fran walked over to pick up the notes and immediately flipped through them.
“…… This temple must be thousands of years old, maybe it existed before the gods came......"
“…… It's amazing that the language of the temple is exactly the same as what we use now, and that the language hasn't changed in any way for so long......"
“…… The skull is dedicated to the throne of the skull, and the blood is sacrificed to the god of blood......"
“…… The area of the temple where the idol is served, it is temporarily inaccessible, we have tried many times and failed, maybe we need an exorcism priest......"
“…… The exorcism has been successful, the filth has cleared, and we are about to see the true body of the idol......"
At this point, the note was abruptly broken, and what happened next is unknown.
"I remember Bishop Mambus saying that two of the expedition turned into blood, and the others didn't know what had happened." Chamo looked at the open area, where there was indeed a shadow, but the light didn't seem to illuminate it.
They had already encountered this before, and the Lord had told them that it was because the dark elemental had devoured the light, and it seemed that there was something similar in this temple.
Owo also looked in with wide eyes: "Hey, I can't see clearly here, I'll go over and take a look." ”
Cha Mo hurriedly stopped her, Owo is the number one combat force in the team, and she has not yet believed in the "Lord", in case she has some accidents, the people here together can't suppress her.
"Let's do it, I'll run fast, and if something happens, I can evacuate quickly." The end of the tea said to everyone.
Fran nodded and said, "The tea powder is indeed the most suitable, but we also need to be fully prepared." ”
She turned back to Catherine and said, "Catherine is ready to carry the space, and in case of an accident, she can assist the tea powder to leave the danger zone." ”
Then he said to Daniel, "Daniel prepare the spear, and if there is any movement from that idol, you will destroy it." ”
Owo, who had no task, was a little upset: "Fran, why don't you assign me to work?" ”
Fran smiled: "You are our general reserve, in case there is a guy we can't put on the edge, it is not up to you to put out the fire." ”
Hearing this, Owo was a little proud: "Yes, I should have done this kind of big thing." ”
After going around the open area and making sure that there was nothing else, Cha Mo nodded to everyone and walked towards the black shadow in the center of the field with his shield in hand.
As soon as she stepped into the center of the entrance, a familiar feeling appeared in Cha Mo's heart, and she recalled it, and found that this was how she felt after killing those few reinforcements in the "golden" city.
She felt her heart start beating faster, her whole body began to get hot, and her temples were beating "suddenly", all in all, something was not good right now.
However, the end of the tea also has the strength to not admit defeat, she silently recited the oracle of the "Lord" in her mouth, recalled the image of the "Lord" in her heart, and wanted to use her piety to suppress her impulse.
To the joy of the end of the tea, the effect of this is very considerable, the irritability in my heart just now has been swept away, and there is no abnormality in my body before.
"Lord, bless me!" Cha Mo closed her eyes, and in her spiritual vision, a white flocculent band of light floated in front of her.
She knew very well that on the other side of this ribbon of light, the "Lord" had been watching her.
……
Seeing that the tea powder was almost in a state of memetic infection again, Tang Hao almost jumped up from his chair.
This favorite general under his command almost had three accidents in a row because of this ghost meme.
Just as he was about to take over control of Cha Min's body, Cha Mo began to pray to him, and then, Tang Hao saw that Cha Min's attributes began to return to normal.
"Can prayer have such an effect?" Tang Hao said with some surprise.
The base intelligence adjutant also came over: "Your Excellency Commander, it seems that the high-dimensional neural network can play a role in fighting memes, and the memes latent in Chamo's body have been successfully suppressed." ”
Tang Hao was not so optimistic: "Just getting closer, there is such a situation, I think the statues enshrined in this temple are definitely not simple." ”
He thought back to the notes that Fran had flipped through: "The archaeological team recorded a passage in the temple, 'The skull is dedicated to the skull throne, and the blood is sacrificed to the god of blood', adjutant, this god of blood, is there any way to say it?" ”
The adjutant replied, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but the keyword "God of Blood" does not exist in the database of this aircraft. ”
"But ......" Tang Hao looked at the screen again: "If what the archaeological team said is correct, this temple should have existed before the implementation of the 'Shelter Plan'. ”
"Can the new colonies under the rule of the Federation Star Domain have such religious superstitions? It's so unpredictable. ”
……
Cha Mo kept praying in his heart, and walked step by step towards the dark shadow not far in front of him.
With each step, she needed more time to calm her mood, and it seemed that this dark shadow was the source of everything.
Pastor Murachi thought that he had dispelled the filth that coiled around "it", but he did not realize that the so-called filth was the power of "it".
One step further, and the end of the tea was already able to see the face of the black shadow in front of him.
It seemed to be a seated statue of a god, looking about the size of a normal person, and for a moment, Cha Mo even thought of the "Lord" on the stone chair through "it".
No, Cha Mo shook his head, this must be an evil god, and he is not qualified to compare with the "Lord" at all.
She prayed to the Lord again, and when her heartbeat returned to normal, she walked directly to the statue.
