Chapter 252: The Witch

The heavy rain washed away the blood stains on Yin Fu and the others.

There were a lot of blood-colored streams flowing on the ground.

"What now?" Yin Fu looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked.

Father Anderson led the operation, and his leadership position was also made clear by the performance just now.

Xia Yan really decided that neither the black crow nor the blood armor knights would have a second word.

"Go ahead, go inside." Xia Yanzhen said.

The large number of dead bodies that suddenly appeared was obviously abnormal, and the castle manor of Nuoda was right in front of you, so you might as well investigate.

Send two crows over to gather the scattered horses and find a place to shelter from the rain.

The rest of the people walked into the castle estate.

There is a trench outside the castle, which is a "moat", which has gone through three stages: there is water, then there is no water, and now there is a little water because of the heavy rain.

The black city wall is not too high, about three meters, and the main wall of the real castle inside is very high.

Medieval fortress.

The trench was three or four meters wide, and the drawbridge had long been damaged, and it was impossible to lay it down to form a passage.

A group of people will not go down the trench and climb up like a dead body.

They easily skipped over and entered the castle estate.

Inside are all kinds of old and abandoned low-rise buildings, which in ten years, theoretically will not be abandoned so completely.

There is only one reason why it is broken like this, and that is that there are too many rats and their teeth are grinding badly.

As everyone came in, they did hear a lot of rats squeaking and squeaking.

Even the sound of heavy rain could not be muffled.

Several crows scattered and searched everywhere.

Xia Yanzhen and the others went straight to the big castle in the very center.

"Why is the door closed?" A group of people came to the castle, and compared to other buildings, the main body of the castle here is very perfect.

There wasn't much brokenness.

The gate was wrapped in iron sheets and rusted.

"Is there a problem with the lock-up?" Someone asked.

"According to the scout's intelligence, the door here is open. He saw a lot of dead bodies running out of it, so he came to report it. Yin Fu said.

The Church takes the security around the Holy City very seriously, and there are crow scouts every day, as well as patrols by the Red Knights.

The scope is not small, and the dead body here was found by the Raven Scouts.

The mission information was read by Yin Fu and Xia Yanzhen together.

Xia Yanzhen didn't speak, and some of the situation was explained by her.

"It's normal for dead bodies to knock doors open, but are they going to be able to close them?" A blood-armored knight said.

Whether it's the Dark Raven of the Burial Trap or the Red Knight of the Order.

The biggest enemy faced all these years is not someone else, but a dead body.

They didn't know much about the dead, and they knew that this thing was a beast without intelligence, and it would not be possible to open the door.

Yin Fu stepped forward and was about to push open and close the door, but the action stopped.

"How?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"There's resistance." Yin Fu exerted his strength, and everyone heard the sound of something jumping, and then the door was pushed open.

"What is this?"

"This ......"

Seeing the dim scene behind the door, a group of people were stunned for a moment.

Behind the door is not a flat floor, but a huge pothole that takes up almost all of the floor space.

In the center of the pothole, there is also a deep well-like cavern.

The diameter is about five meters.

The whole shape resembles a giant funnel.

And in this funnel, there were still a few dead bodies that were not very sound, and with the entry of Xia Yanzhen and the others, they moved over with difficulty and wanted to attack.

It can be said that he is very dedicated.

The dedicated dead bodies were crushed by the murderous Blood-Armored Knights.

A group of people descended the pit and came to the hole in the middle.

The deep well was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, except for the faint sound of rats.

A crow lit the lantern he was wearing around his waist and threw it in.

The hole is much deeper than expected.

In the end, the lantern did not hit the lowest level, but smashed into a group of dead bodies huddled in a hole in the ground.

The dead reacted violently to the falling lanterns.

It was quickly destroyed, and the oil on it spilled on itself, which instead ignited itself.

In the flames, except for Xia Yanzhen, everyone's faces were not good-looking.

It was clear that the dead body had come out of the ground.

This means that in the underground, which is difficult for humans to explore, there are already roads that extend in all directions.

These roads, probably opened by rats, now serve as conduits for the "transport" of dead bodies.

Dead bodies pass through underground roads and can appear everywhere, becoming more dangerous.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong!" Van Lunding thought a lot, "I can understand rats digging holes, but rats dig such big holes, and dead bodies run through these holes. Finally, you can close the door! Is this reasonable? ”

If there is no problem behind this, he Van Lunding will cut off his head.

All these years of fears came true, and Van Lunding was eager to retire on the spot, huddled in the holy city and remained motionless.

The flames do not allow the dead to escape like the "normal" rats.

They are fearless of pain, and the damage of the flames to the dead is negligible.

After a while, the flames went out, but it couldn't stop the charred dead bodies from stubbornly climbing up.

Watching the hole turn black again, no one spoke.

Only Van Lunding's words just now seemed to be echoing.

"It's the Daemon siblings who are in control!" After a while, Yin Fu said.

"Will William still be able to control the dead?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

His younger brother, William, can turn ordinary rats into red-eyed rats and control them, but to be honest, that control is very low.

Xia Yanzhen still remembered the difficult appearance of William's forehead.

It's like going to the toilet with constipation and hemorrhoids.

He didn't think William had the ability to control so many rats to dig tunnels and then control the dead to gather over.

"Is it a witch?" Someone said.

Xia Yanzhen looked over and showed an inquiring expression.

Yin Fu explained: "Lady Damon, the mother of the Damon siblings, she has been imprisoned in the Holy City. ”

"She has the ability?"

"I don't know, if William can control the rats......" Yin Fu shook her head.

About Mary Dimon, even Yin Fu doesn't know much.

When the Black Death broke out and the source was determined, it was the Pope, several cardinals, and the most powerful blood-armored knight, Lancelot, who worked together to capture the witch and imprisoned her in the deepest part of the church prison.

Why just imprison and not kill the witch.

Even Yin Fu and the others didn't know and didn't dare to ask.

There are many secrets involved, and I am afraid that only the cardinals are qualified to know about them.

"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen turned around.

"Just gone?"

"Well, you don't want to jump off and get caught up in a bunch of rats." Xia Yanzhen said.

He was insensitive to the rat-filled underpasses.

Report the information here and let the cardinals worry about it.

Walking out of the castle, the heavy rain outside had no intention of stopping.

A few crows who had been probing around returned, making sure that there were no more burrows here, only the one large hole that deepened the pit.

This is where the dead come out.

Leaving the castle, the people rode their horses and headed for the holy city.

After nightfall, everyone returned to the Holy City.

Outside the holy city, the lights are sparkling and continuous, illuminating the surrounding buildings.

Those lights are bright and can effectively prevent rats from coming out and injuring people and spreading the Black Death.

The Holy City is darker.

Because the Holy City doesn't need extra light to keep rats and dangers out.

Xia Yanzhen and Yin Fu together found Huo Lun, who had been woken up from his sleep, and reported the situation.

After listening to this, Huo Lun's face changed and he left in a hurry.

I should have consulted with someone else.

"Where are the other five Blood-Armored Knights?" Xia Yanzhen asked Yin Fu.

Yin Fu shook his head and said he didn't know: "You don't really want to collect all the Eternal Blood Armor, do you?" ”

"Isn't it good? When the time comes, it will be placed at home and look very neat. Xia Yanzhen said.

It was difficult for Yin Fu to understand Xia Yan's fake collecting habits.

But the church won't stop him from having a fight with the Blood-Armored Knight.

As for the Eternal Blood Armor, whether it is in the hands of the Blood Armor Knight or in the hands of the Sanctified Priest, it still belongs to the Church in the end, and it has no effect.

At least that's what the church hierarchy thinks.

After the report, Xia Yanzhen returned to his residence to rest.

On the other side, Hollen and a group of cardinals entered the prison under the Church.

The rooms and corridors deep underground are not narrow, dark, or damp.

At first glance, it looks similar to the walkway on the ground, except that the glass is missing.

A group of people walked down the hallway and into a large room.

In the center of the room, there are three crosses.

On the cross, three people were bound to each other.

The one in the middle is pale, dressed in clean white, with long red hair and red lips that contrast with the pale complexion.

Her hands were crucified, spread out to both sides.

Didn't move.

A black tube pierced into his body in front of him, connecting to the chair in front of the cross.

In the soft and wide chair, the old Pope shrunk back, and the black tube pierced into the Pope's arm through a small hollow metal tube.

From the faint seepage of blood, it can be seen that the Pope is being transfused.

On the other two crosses, nailed are the sisters Jones and William.

Unlike the mother in the middle, they seem to be more energetic and rebellious, so they are crucified hand and foot.

Similarly, none of the three had blood coming out of their wounds, and they all had a black tube on their bodies.

In the shape of a trident, the blood passes through a tube and eventually flows into the Pope's body.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Huo Lun and the others coming together, the Pope opened his eyes and asked.

Huo Lun told Xia Yanzhen and the others about their discoveries.

The Pope pulled the needle from his arm and stood up, allowing the blood to drip through the needle onto the chair.

He walked up to the three crosses, raised his hands and began to chant.

A light emerged from the void and rolled towards the three unconscious men on the cross.

Mary, Jones, and William felt pain in their coma, and their bodies began to tremble unconsciously.

But none of them woke up.

Let the light weave through you.

This look was like the scene that Xia Yanzhen had seen when the Book of Divine Purification devoured the Book of Necronomicony.

A moment later, the shuttle light disappeared into the void.

The Pope withdrew his hand, returned to his chair, and inserted the needle into his arm, allowing the blood of the three to continue flowing into his body.
