Chapter 81: The Da Vinci Code
Roy opened the manhole cover and said to me, "Road, below is the land of the dead, if you are afraid, you can wait for me on it, and I will go down by myself." β
No way! This kid actually looked down on me, so he gave him a blank look and said, "Wipe it!" Dude, I haven't seen anything terrible, I'm afraid of a few dead people? You open the way, I break off, go! β
Roy smiled, took two glow sticks out of his pocket, snapped them and threw them down, and then climbed down first. I took one last look around, made sure no one was there, and then went in. Beiluo Shimen didn't seem to be interested here, so he glanced at it and ran to the side to play.
Churches generally have cellars, which are used to bury the dead. Many devout believers would contain their bones in it after death. Over time, the cellar of the church was filled with bones.
The most famous of these is the Basilica of San Francisco, also known as the Ossuary, in the south-central Portuguese city of Γvora. As a result of the Black Death in the 14th century and a war in the 15th century, more than 30,000 people died. Later, the clergy moved the bones to the church, because there were so many bones, so they simply used human bones as decorations and piled them up to form a pyramid. Later, it was given the name of the "Church of Bones".
Although the Catholic church is very small, the cellar is quite large, four or five meters high, which is very wide. There were also a lot of bones inside, piled up in a mess, forming a strange wall, more than a man tall. From time to time, one or two skulls would stick out, and the black eye holes were terrifying.
These bones must have been collected and buried by the priests of the church during the war years, because these bones are old, and some of them have turned yellow and black. Later, cremation was introduced, and no bones were sent here.
In such an eerie and terrifying place, no one usually comes in, and Roy's choice to hide the magic array here is unexpected. None of us had a glow stick in our hands and walked all the way to the innermost part of the cellar. There is a pyramid made of skulls, more than a man tall, and countless eye holes staring at us, which makes people's hearts hairy.
Roy came to the pyramid and began to take the skull from the very top. After taking a dozen of them, he reached into his hand and pulled out a delicate small iron box, and then put the skull as it was.
I looked at the small iron box and asked, "Is this the magic array?" β
"That's right! That's it! β
Roy held the small iron box as carefully as if he were holding a bomb: "The things in here are powerful enough to destroy the whole world!" β
I was also infected by his atmosphere, swallowed my saliva, and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's do it!" β
Roy opened the small tin box and pulled out a cylindrical metal cylinder that looked like a scroll. It was full of letters, and with a slight shake, there was the sound of liquid flowing.
"Huh? It's ......" I looked at this thing and it seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
Roy shook it in front of me and said with a smile, "This is a Da Vinci cipher cylinder, an upgraded version of my handwork." To open the canister, a five-digit password must be unraveled. There are 5 dials on the cylinder, each with 26 letters, and there are as many as 11881376 possible permutations and combinations of passwords. And my upgraded version has 8 turntables, so there are 208827064576 permutations and combinations of passwords. There's a glass laminated layer here, which is very thin. It was filled with a very corrosive liquid. Only the correct password can be opened. If you try to force it open, the glass inside will be shattered. When the corrosive liquid flows out, it will burn the magic array. I am the only one in the world who knows this password, so even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, they can't do anything without my password. β
Roy triumphantly showed off to me, but I was shocked by his deep scheming. It's a monster who doesn't know how many years I've lived, and every city is so deep. Even if you hide something, you are on guard.
Roy finished laughing and said to me, "Lu, do you want to see what this magic map looks like?" This is the last chance, and after tonight, the image will no longer be there. β
I didn't have such a strong curiosity in my heart, so I was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so I urged him: "Okay, don't show off, hurry up and go back after finishing your errands, this place is gloomy and uncomfortable." β
Roy smiled and said, "Okay, it's actually very simple, you just need to fall on the ground." β
As he spoke, he threw the canister in his hand over his head. The two of us hurriedly took a step back so as not to be splashed by the splash of corrosive fluid.
However, something unexpected happened!
The canister didn't fall off, it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and it was missing.
Is it hanging?
Roy and I looked at each other and said secretly, this cellar is only four or five meters high, and there is nothing but bones, how can it be hanged? Roy hurriedly pulled out his flashlight and shone it upward, and suddenly a sturdy black figure flashed over our heads and flew towards the cellar exit. And in the hand of the black shadow, he is holding the cipher barrel at this time!
I rub! How can there be people here? When did it appear? Why don't we all feel it?
Roy and I were shocked to see the black figure with a black gourd hanging from its waist. Wearing a black tights all over her body, she outlines a delicate curve, obviously a woman! Seeing her rushing towards the exit, they reflected it, and each of them shouted and chased after her.
Roy is a werewolf, and his speed and explosiveness are amazing. In the blink of an eye, he rushed behind the woman in black, roared angrily, and grabbed the woman behind him with ten fingers like knives and extremely sharp. If this palm is grasped, it will definitely dig a big hole in her back.
Since the woman in black was able to sneak into us without being discovered, she must have extraordinary skills. Seeing this scene, she casually touched her waist, and a black snake-shaped soft whip appeared in her hand. With a flick of his hand, he only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the soft whip was whipped on Roy's body, and a bloody blood bar immediately appeared.
Roy screamed and grabbed the air with one hand. I could see from behind him that at the end of this soft whip was a steel dart, extremely sharp, with four barbs, and when it was drawn on the body, it would inevitably grab a piece of meat, and it was very vicious.
Fortunately, Roy is a werewolf with a strong ability to repair himself, and he is not inferior to Wolverine. The figure was just stagnant, and then he chased after him again. Not far behind, I quickened my feet, and pulled out the magic knife to hold it back, always on guard against her soft whip.
I don't have Roy's skills, and if she whips me, I have to break my skin.
The woman in black was as light as a swallow, flying up and down, and her body was so fast that I had to keep raising my breath to catch up. Fortunately, Roy got angry, and after a few uproars, he stopped in front of the woman in black. I swung my magic knife and caught her in the middle.
"Give it back!" Roy stretched out his hand and glared at her with an angry face.
Who knew that the woman in black actually chuckled, casually stuffed the code cylinder into her towering chest, and said, "You have the ability to take it!" β
"Whew-"
Roy was furious, and a mad wolf lunged at her.
