Li Chang'an and Shen Xiaomo's destinations are the best to find.

Because the address has been written out in detail when the pale scroll handed over the task information.

When the two of them came to the edge of Heba Town.

An old church with decay and old bricks and tiles came into view.

From the outside, this ancient church is more than just a hundred or two hundred years old.

Although it looks like it has been renovated, some places still can't hide the traces of time it has experienced.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Phantom raised his head and pointed to the cross standing on the roof of the church, and shouted in surprise.

It is the first time that you have seen such a church.

I don't understand why a wooden stake is inserted in a roof that looks good.

"That's not a stake, it's a sign of a church"

As he spoke, Li Changan's voice gradually became smaller.

Crucifix?

There is also God in this world, and there is Brother Su?

Merely.

This cross is upside down

The general cross is short at the top and long at the bottom.

However, the cross above the church in front of me is short at the bottom and long at the top, upside down.

He's read a lot of books.

But for the books of this world religion, there is not much involved.

looked at Shen Xiaomo behind him, and just wanted to open his mouth, but finally closed it honestly.

Never mind.

Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't be able to say it all at once.

"Little Phantom, is the church in danger?" Li Changan asked cautiously.

Although, under normal circumstances, even if there is a remnant of that cult, it should not return here if it has been exterminated once.

But there may be some people who think that "the most dangerous place is the safest place".

"Meow~"

Now Xiao Fantasy's proficiency in the use of the skill "Shadow Yan" is getting higher and higher, and the shadows in his eyes are getting faster and faster.

Perhaps when it trains the "Shadow Derivation" to a B-level proficiency, a simple hexagram calculation will only take a few breaths.

Soon, its expression regained and it shook its head towards Li Changan.

Isn't it dangerous?

Immediately, Li Changan walked to the church, and Shen Xiaomo, who was behind him, dragged the corner of his clothes and followed closely without speaking.

However, as the gifted owner of "Soul Stigmata: Spiritual Sense", she didn't say that it meant that there were no spiritual fluctuations in it.

Squeak –

The abandoned and rotten wooden door slowly pushed open, and a smell of rotten dust came to the face.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he dusted off the dust in front of him.

The church was empty, and there was nothing particularly conspicuous except for the high platform of the Mass and the messy old benches.

It's on the wall.

There are a lot of special dark red symbols drawn.

Li Changan did not recognize these symbols, or words.

But he felt that these symbols should be important to the cult, and could even be the key to some kind of "blood ritual".

"Hasn't anyone ever come in?" Li Changan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Looking at the thick layer of dust on the ground, there were no traces of footprints.

"Let's take a look at each other."

Shen Xiaomo, who lowered his head, paused and slowly let go of his hand.

"It's blood, but it's been a long time."

Li Changan walked to the wall, stared at the words on it for a while, made sure that there was no danger, reached out and touched it gently, twisting up the contaminated unknown condensation substance.

The symbol in front of him is very special, because judging from the symbols, lines and lines drawn on the walls of the entire church, the symbol in front of him can be said to be the center of all the symbols and lines.

Bu Chewen?

Such speculation rose in his mind.

In order for words alone to have a special role, the Buche script can almost be said to be necessary.

Silently keep this symbol in mind, and go back to see if you can translate it.

Li, Li Chang'an."

Then.

Shen Xiaomo's subtle voice came.

That is, the church is empty enough and there are no people, otherwise it may not be heard.

Follow the prestige.

I saw Shen Xiaomo standing next to the platform of the Mass, looking at the ground, and seemed to have made a discovery.

Walked briskly past.

I saw that at the junction of the platform and the ground, there was a shallow gap on the ground that was almost invisible, which fit with the stone brick joints on the ground, especially after being covered with a layer of dust, it was even more invisible.

"Basement?"

Li Changan glanced at Shen Xiaomo with some surprise.

Can you find this?

But she kept her head down.

Gently rub the corners of your clothes.

Speaking of which.

I've known Shen Xiaomo for a few days, and Li Changan hasn't been able to see what she looks like once.

Even, she seems to have such a set of clothes these days.

Shake your head.

Now is not the time to care about this.

Li Changan and Xiao Fan pushed the platform away at the same time.

However, when the lid is pushed open, there is nothing like a pull tab to assist in moving.

"Little Fantasy." Li Changan narrowed his eyes.

Hearing this, the little guy will understand, and the claws that are as hard as metal are swung out fiercely.

Swish!!

A large number of rock debris was splashed.

However, what Li Changan and Xiao Fan didn't expect was that this cover plate was not only extremely hard, but also very thick.

No wonder it doesn't feel hollow at all when you step on it.

It's so thick that it's hard to spot.

"Again."

"Meow!" (Ben Meow doesn't believe it!) ）

Whew-

After several swings of the claws, the cover was finally completely destroyed.

A narrow staircase appears straight down.

A thick rancid stench came to my face.

Look at each other with Xiao Phantom.

"You're waiting for me up there."

explained to Shen Xiaomo.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the air in the basement, I walked down cautiously.

Tread, tread, tread.

The sound of crisp footsteps stood out in the narrow hallway.

A dim flashlight illuminates the hallway beneath your feet.

Walk to the end of the hallway.

In front of you is a cramped basement.

The basement is not big.

There is only a desk, a chair.

And in the corner, there is a large vessel made of unknown metal, the inner walls of which are covered with a thick layer of black substance.

"Dried blood."

The church above is just a cover-up, and this underground is the real place of ceremonies?

He walked over to his desk.

There wasn't much on it, just a kerosene lamp, and a book covered in thick dust.

Judging by the thickness of the dust, it is thicker than the one covered on the church floor above.

"That cult didn't even find out about this basement in the first place? So it is even less likely that the pale man will know."

Shen Xiaomo only joined the pale painting scroll in the past six months, so when they exterminated this cult organization half a year ago, Shen Xiaomo did not participate.

Therefore, Zhao Shuihong wanted to go back and check all the members, including her.

Gently blow the dust off the book.

This book is definitely a bit historical, and Li Changan is afraid that he will blow it away if he blows it too hard.

With the light of this flashlight, Li Changan cautiously opened a page.

The text on it is already a little blurry, and it is still in ancient script.

But this did not prevent Li Changan from reading.

"On February 3rd, the weather was a little gray, I was going to take Xiaowen to see the Luohe River in the rain, Xiaowen liked the drizzle feeling the most"

"Is it a diary?"

Whoa—

He flipped through a few more pages.

"On April 12th, the weather was raining, Xiaowen's health was getting worse and worse, I coughed all night yesterday, I can see"

"On May 2, the rainstorm outside slapped on the window, just like my heart is now, Xiaowen coughed up blood."

"On May 18th, the sun was very bright outside, but I felt cold all over my body, and I understood that the cold came from my heart."

Among them, most of them are recorded in daily life, mainly the owner of the diary, and a girl named Xiaowen.

However, the girl in the diary seems to have suffered from some kind of illness and eventually died.

Li Changan could clearly feel the depressed will of the owner of the diary and his deep longing for the girl from between the lines.

After that, the diary was no longer stable to write one a week, sometimes even half a year apart.

"March 16th, it turns out that this is the power of spirit beasts?! Their abilities are so beautiful, it's a pity. I miss Xiaowen."

"On August 8th, I was approached by a strangely dressed man, and he said that he was from a soul master called Crimson Rose, yes, that name, from Crimson Rose, and he said that he could grant my wish, but how did he know what my wish was."

Crimson Rose?

Li Changan recited the name of this group organization in his heart.

"On February 26th, there is a way! There really is a way! Blood Ritual! They have a blood ritual! Sacrifice blood to serve the 'God of Blood' in exchange for the resurrection of life."

Seeing this, Li Changan was silent.

Combined with the year of this basement, the dust accumulated on the diary, and the ancient characters used in it.

He suspected that the time period of the diary's owner was most likely in the Third Age, or more precisely at the end of the Third Age.

The "Crimson Rose" mentioned in the diary is also likely to be the hidden organization he had seen before, active in the late Third Age and advocating "blood".

"Reading between the lines, the spirit of the diary owner has been affected, and even the writing of the words has become sloppy."

He took a slight breath and continued to look down.

"On July 29, they said I wasn't good enough! Say that my Talisman Turtle is too weak to meet the minimum requirements for activating the 'Blood Ritual'."

"On August 3rd, he came again and gave me hope again. He said he could help my Talisman Turtle evolve! And it is also evolving in a direction that is more in line with the 'Blood Ritual', but this has a certain danger, because it is necessary to convert the attributes of the Fu Hunting Turtle into more suitable attributes through evolution."

Well?

Convert properties?

Li Changan was stunned for a moment.

Spirit beasts, can you still convert attributes?

Transforming through evolutionary means?

It was the first time he had heard of it.

According to the knowledge taught by the Soul Master Association and schools today, spirit beasts exist and evolve, but the attributes of spirit beasts are fixed.

For example, when Zheng Chunyue's vast bee colony evolved into a rainbow bee colony, the attribute was still "instigated", and the little phantom evolved from a phantom cat to a three-tailed spirit cat with ink shadow, and the attribute would remain at the "shadow" attribute.

He didn't expect that the attributes of the spirit beast could actually be transformed through evolution.

According to the diary, it seems that this method is very dangerous.

Read on.

"I need to prepare materials."

After a glance, Li Changan's expression became a little weird.

Because he felt the black leather manual in the consciousness space, he began to record the material in it, and turned the pages with a "bang".

Unexpected delight.

This was a real bonus.

I didn't expect to be able to harvest a ritual recipe for the evolution of spirit beasts from the diary.

And buy one, get one free, and the black leather manual can also give feedback.

Meantime.

The feedback given in the black leather manual also means that the recipe really works.

The attributes of the spirit beast are variable!

Hold back the shock in your heart.

The diary also turned to the end.

"September 9th. It's time, Xiaowen. I'm going to see you again, you must be lonely there, right? I dreamed of you again last night, and you sat at the dresser, looking at me, and smiling so happily. But laughing and laughing, you cried again, you said you miss me, I want to hug you, and I woke up only to find out that it was a dream.

It's been ten years, and before you know it, ten years have passed. When you see me now, don't you know if you will like me again?

I'm ready, no matter what, I'm ready. Tonight's magpie crane mountain is gray, there should be a light rain, that's your favorite, I'll hold you and never let go"

Close the journal.

Li Changan let out a long breath.

"At that time, he should have become a monster who is neither human nor ghost, right? has been completely affected, but I still remember Xiaowen's smile. ”

The last words of the diary have been completely distorted.

From the point of view of writing, it is not difficult to see that the hands of the owner of the diary are no longer flexible, and even his thoughts are disordered.

But he still remembers the girl in his heart.

Even, he still remembered the girl named Xiaowen and liked the rainy weather.

After reading the diary.

The unexpected joy of obtaining the spirit beast evolution formula also slowly disappeared.
