Chapter 36: I'm done with the dungeon
The thick darkness completely enveloped the surroundings, and two large bright red characters suddenly appeared in it.
【Our Lady】
Jiang Bei looked at the two words in front of him, one head and two big.
The moment he was surrounded by darkness, he knew that there was a ninety percent chance that he would be pulled into the dungeon, and he was even more sure of this idea after seeing the name of the dungeon appear.
This sudden expansion of this sudden dungeon that had not moved for two years brought him in, Jiang Bei felt that this was too outrageous, not to mention that he specially distanced himself from this dungeon when he was clearing the snow.
Could it be that in his previous life, he dug up these copies of the ancestral graves? As soon as they see them, they can't wait to run for revenge.
This copy has only given the name so far, and has not given the rules, Jiang Bei feels a little strange.
The names and rules of previous copies appeared together, and as he thought so, another line of blood-red handwriting appeared under "Our Lady" -
【Please escape from the church】
That's the quest.
The darkness around him lasted for a few more seconds before it faded like a tide, and a bright light flooded into his eyes.
Jiang Bei squinted his eyes for a moment to adjust to the sudden light, and then he immediately took a closer look around.
There is a two-story plaster statue of the Virgin, wearing a long skirt and bowing her head slightly and opening her hands to the people below, as if she is willing to accept everything in the world.
Behind her was a large stained glass window, through which light was cast onto the plaster statue, giving her a soft glow.
The statue is fine everywhere else, but there's something wrong.
She has no facial features.
Jiang Bei's gaze swept around the face, which had no facial features, and then looked around.
It is a cathedral with angelic images painted on all four walls, several sconces with flower patterns extending from the walls, and two rows of benches neatly lined up under the statue of the Virgin.
Under this statue, in addition to the benches, there are several teammates of Jiang Bei.
He counted nine of the others he had been pulled in.
Zhao Ziyang, Ah Gou, Zhao Tianran, and Xia Xia were all pulled in, and the other four people were not in their team, but there was also a familiar face among them, it was Xin Yi.
At this time, she was frowning and looking up at the faceless face of the Virgin, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Grass," Zhao Ziyang, who was closest to Jiang Bei, popped out a dirty word, "This is a sudden copy that we haven't touched in those two years?" ”
An unknown man nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, I am the officer on duty in the sentry box, and I have seen this copy suddenly expand and swallow us up." ”
Zhao Ziyang slapped his thigh: "This copy hasn't been moved for two years, I didn't expect it to suddenly expand today, and we are really unlucky to catch up." ”
After all, they are all people who have received the education of base dungeons since childhood, and everyone quickly adjusted their emotions and no longer thought about unlucky things, but entered the state and began to report their identities.
"All five of us are from the 1331 squad, and we were pulled in while clearing the snow. I am the captain Zhao Ziyang, they are Jiang Bei, Xia, Zhao Tianran, and Ah Gou, this little brother of Ah Dog can't speak. ”
"The two of us are from the 1446 squad, my name is Xiang Beibei, and the one next to me is called Li Youcai, who was pulled in when he was on duty at the sentry post." The man who had just spoken introduced himself and the person next to him.
"I'm Wang Sixteen of Team 399, and I'm on duty at the same sentry post as Li Youcai and Chief Xin Yi in Xiang Beibei, and we came in together."
As for Xin Yi, there is no need to introduce herself, everyone present knows her.
"You all saw the rules of the dungeon when you came in," the one named Li Youcai was the first to ask after reporting his identity, "It was to let us escape from the church, the tasks of the last batch of people who came in must be the same as ours, but they have been trapped here for two years." ”
In the end, he didn't find the exit and died, Jiang Bei added in his heart.
"Since they can live for more than two years...... Does it mean that there are no ghosts in this copy, who can live with ghosts for two years? Zhao Ziyang looked around seriously.
"Unlikely, there has never been a dangerous dungeon base, and the simple dungeon with the lowest difficulty may kill people, but the probability is small." At this time, Xin Yi finally stopped looking at the statue of the Virgin and said the first sentence of the copy.
When she spoke, her eyes stayed on Jiang Bei and Zhao Tianran for a few seconds, probably not expecting the two of them to be so unlucky to be pulled into the sudden copy three times in a row.
Zhao Ziyang seemed to be a little afraid of her, so he shrunk his neck and stopped talking.
I don't know if there is a ghost river here, but there is an exit.
"There's a door over there." He stretched out his hand to the statue of the Virgin Mary, and at the end of the bench there was a carved brass door, which was supposed to lead to the outside world.
Zhao Tianran took half a step forward and carefully looked at the gate in the distance: "Opening this door and leaving is this considered an escape from the church?" ”
If it counts, then this copy is too simple, and the last batch of people will not be trapped here for two years and finally die.
"It could also be an ornament that can't be opened at all." Zhao Ziyang guessed.
Xin Yi instructed the others to stay away from the door, and then walked up to the door himself, reaching for the doorknob - so that if a ghost jumped out from behind the door, everyone would not be caught at once.
Jiang Bei touched his empty waist, he didn't have an axe. He came out to clear the snow and not to compete in martial arts, so he didn't bring a weapon, and whoever wanted to pull him into this ghost place in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, there are several rows of benches in this church, and one chair leg has been removed from the top to barely work.
Just as he struggled to break the leg of his chair, there was a "squeak" from the other side of the door, and the door was opened.
Bright light shines in from the outside.
There were no ghosts outside the door and no way out, only a blinding light. You can't see anything but light, as if the outside world is shielded out.
Xin Yi stretched out his hand and poked out, but was blocked.
"Can't get out." She looked back at the person behind her.
After making sure that there was no danger, the others came to the door to observe the slightly eerie white light. Jiang Bei stopped breaking the leg of the chair and followed the people to the door.
"This is...... wall? Zhao Ziyang raised his hand and stretched out, and his outstretched hand was also blocked by the white light, "Why is it so weird, I have had a lot of copies in the past, and I have never encountered such a strange thing." ”
Jiang Bei felt that this thing was a bit like the air wall in the previous world games, when the player explored the edge of the map, the air wall would appear to block people and prevent them from moving forward, because the programmer did not make the map outside the wall.
"If I'm not mistaken, the church should be completely surrounded by this thing, and the windows are full of this white light." Wang Sixteen opened his mouth to speak, he was wearing a military uniform with a gun pinned to his waist, and he looked very steady.
There were several stained windows on the walls on all sides, and Jiang Bei looked out through the glass of different colors, and the window was really white, and he couldn't see anything.
"Looks like we can't get out of here through doors and windows, we'll have to find another exit." Wang Sixteen looked at the white barrier outside the gate.
The church is huge, and there is more than one floor.
There is an escalator on each side of the statue that leads to the second floor.
Xin Yi immediately made a decision: "Search the hall first to see if there is anything special, and everyone will act together." ”
Jiang Bei felt that the possibility of finding the exit directly was relatively small, otherwise the upper batch of people would not have been looking for two years without finding it. This exit should be abstract, it may be a painting or a lamp, and it will not be easy to find.
Thinking of this, he carefully observed the surroundings, the most special thing on the first floor was the two-story statue of the Virgin, and the name of this copy was also "Our Lady", I don't know if the exit will be related to this statue.
He picked up a sturdy three-pronged candlestick on the table next to him and walked slowly in the direction of the statue of the Virgin.
When he came to the statue, he first reached out and knocked on the other party's calf, listening to the sound is solid, there should be no secret passage inside.
The base is also tightly connected to the ground and cannot be moved.
But the sharp-eyed Jiang Bei noticed a small line of words carved on the base-
"I create everything, I destroy everything, I save everything"
What does that mean?
Could it be that this church was built by the Holy Mother herself, and if they wanted to escape, they had to let the Holy Mother come back to life and tear it down herself?
Just as he was staring at this line of small words and thinking seriously, there was a sudden strong pulling sensation behind him, Jiang Bei was caught off guard and was pulled back a few steps back and bumped into the body of the person behind him, and before he could look back to see who was pulling him, there was a huge landing sound in his ear.
"Knock"
It was as if something heavy had fallen from above.
He immediately went to see the direction from which the sound of the ground was coming from, and it was a head.
The head of the statue of the Virgin fell off.
It smashed right where he had just stood.
