Chapter 193: The End of the Dream (5)
Jiang Qi opened his eyes and listened carefully for a while, he couldn't hear what he was doing, and was woken up for the second time It was already dawn, and outside was the sound of the landlord urging him to pay the rent, knocking on the neighbor's door panel.
After a long time, the neighbor opened the door, and closed the door again in an unnatural perfunctory tone.
Jiang Qi changed into a clean dress and prepared to go to church.
When he went out, he met the neighbor's wife, Mrs. Buller, who was not very good-looking, and the whole person was in a trance.
Jiang Qi greeted her, "You don't look good, do you need help?" ”
"No, no, no." Mrs. Buller immediately denied it, and hurriedly explained, "We need to pay the rent, so we are in a bit of a hurry." ”
Jiang Qi took her unnatural expression into her eyes and did not continue to ask.
In front of the church is a square with a wide view, every floor tile is cleaned and spotless, and the solemn bell echoes in the square for a long time.
Each entrance has a soldier in silver armor with a handle, and when you look up, the top of the church seems to be connected to the sky.
The burned church on the opposite side where Jiang Qi went first, with blackened walls and broken glass, still revealed a trace of inviolable solemnity in the sense of decadence.
The building specifications are no smaller than those of a pure white church, and this burned down church has heavy handles, so ordinary people are not allowed to get close, and can only take a few glances from a distance.
The reason for the outside world is that the church has not been renovated and is not open to the public.
But a burned and abandoned church uses so much manpower, guarding three layers inside and three layers outside, which is a bit excessive.
Jiang Qi turned around and walked towards the pure white church, there is only a small part of the area that ordinary people can enter, this kind of place that took hundreds of years to complete the construction, no matter when you enter, you can feel the shock.
The statue on the front wall of the church looks twisted and obscure, and the ancient characters are carved into the stone wall, very similar to the ancient characters that Jiang Qi had seen in the first copy.
"Ahem, ahem"
A few coughs rang out one after another, and the crowd prayed reverently to the sound of organ music.
Jiang Qi sat on the chair in the corner, her eyebrows moved slightly, and there was a faint smell of rot in the air, she would not admit it if she smelled it too many times in the game.
As the holiest place in the city, the church will never have the same sanitary problems as the civilian areas.
The smell was coming from people, and the disease in Sayles was spreading faster than expected.
Jiang Qi saw her neighbor Mrs. Buller in the crowd, sitting in the crowd with the same reverent expression on her face, hoping that God would guide her from her suffering and sickness.
However, the church door did not stop the smell of rot.
Jiang Qi listened carefully to the teachings of the clergy above, but in fact, he observed their every move, it was not difficult to get into this place, but there had to be a direction and a goal, and he couldn't come in and walk around.
The burned cathedral can wait until the evening to go inside, it is heavily guarded outside, and there should be no one inside.
Jiang Qi looked at the intricate ornaments on the clergyman's robes, and his eyes changed from piety to indifference.
She spent the whole day in the church, doing her best to play the role of a believer, and then left when it was getting dark, and found a suitable spot to observe the guards outside the burned church.
If she had obtained the status of a church member, she would have made some arrangements in advance in such an obvious place, which would have been much easier than finding a few people out of a hundred thousand.
There are also bootcamps, where players have the best access to resources, where the goals are also obvious.
The Roman numerals on the church clock point to 8 o'clock sharp, and the bell rings, which is also the time for the change of guards.
Jiang Qi held an umbrella in one hand and teleported into the burned church in the dark, unlike the bright lights of the pure white church, it was dark and cold, and the statues on the walls were broken and blackened, looking like two tear stains.
From the outside, the overall building here is fairly well preserved, and there are no debris walls that have accumulated as imagined.
Jiang Qi searched all the way inside, and finally found a passage to the underground, but the heavy stone wall and the ground were tightly connected, and the strange symbol was like a keyhole in the middle, she didn't find the mechanism, and she couldn't teleport.
Her control over the space was no longer what it used to be, and when she got here, she couldn't get through a stone door.
The symbol on it is a seal.
Jiang Qi's palm was against the cold stone door, her eyes gradually sank, she knew what was behind the door.
At this time, the light of the entrance and windows is gradually replaced by shadows.
"This door is a 'dream', and as soon as you get close to it, I will perceive it." A half-crazy, half-peaceful voice appeared.
Then came the sound of heavy armor rattling.
Jiang Qi smiled, "Awesome." ”
Heavily armed soldiers entered the church to arrest the trespassers, only to see the empty church.
"Block the exits and the streets!" The knight at the head roared.
Jiang Qi stood on the burned bell tower and said indifferently, "In other words, the key is in your hand?" ”
"It's a pity that there is no key." Wu De's voice appeared, "This is the dream realm, and your spatial abilities are limited. ”
"Of course, I don't think I can do anything to you here, I just want to know, when will you find this place, with your ability, no one can stop you from leaving, but you won't give up this place."
Jiang Qi jumped down from the bell tower with an expressionless face, and a few dodged staggered the soldiers who came to pursue him, and quickly left the blockade circle.
Wu De is not the same as before, this is not his strength.
Because of the trespassers, all the convoys that could be dispatched in Sayles City were dispatched, and they carpeted and searched the vicinity of the church all night, and by the next day, the city was on heightened alert, especially in civilian areas.
Players have legal identities in this dungeon, not their real names, which is why it is not easy to search.
Today is the fourth day of the game, no one in the neighborhood except Mrs. Baylor goes out, more and more people are sick, Jiang Qi saw the doctor on the street on the way to work, the doctor was overcrowded, some of the patients were not human, wrapped tightly in old cloaks, and the exposed skin looked like dead flesh that had been blistered.
"Heretics are crazy! How dare you trespass on a church! The sick people in the city must have been the work of the infidels, and they made a deal with the evil gods. ”
"I wish I had found those infidels, they would have been burned to death," said his colleague as he toasted bread. ”
"That's right! That's right! Jiang Qi followed Ying He, maintaining her character as a devout disciple.
"When did that church burn down? I don't remember repairing it. She said seemingly casually.
"I don't know, it burned down hundreds of years ago, maybe even longer, I heard that there are still miracles preserved there." The colleague said and cursed, "I think it was a heretic who did it, damn the infidels, trying to get involved in miracles." ”
Jiang Qi was silent for a moment, she didn't come to this place hundreds of years ago to burn the church.
