"Call his name and I'll help you." Nail Head said calmly.

"Larry, look this way, I'm Christine, I'm here to save you!" The girl clasped her hands on the sides of the frame and shouted at the man who was snooping inside, and the scene in the mirror evolved, like a reflection in the rushing water: the corridor, the crack in the door, and the obsessive figures shattered into a cold, empty room.

Larry, who was half-crouched in the center of the room, was shocked and heard a familiar voice from behind him.

"Oh my God, Christine, my baby girl!"

He wiped tears from his face, ran to the mirror, and stared at each other with his daughter through a mirror, excitedly reaching out to grab each other's hand, but was bounced away by a gentle film.

At this moment, the high priest's right hand, which was smeared with black nail polish, reached into the mirror, and pulled Larry Cotton out of the mirror, and fell to the ground like a fish out of the water.

"Daddy!" Christine threw herself into the man's arms and hugged his waist, the man subconsciously stroked her hair, his red eyes crossed her shoulders, flashing with deep doubts, especially when he saw Dean in a black suit, and the high priest with a cold expression in a butcher-like black leather coat beside him, a fear from the depths of genes instantly surged in his heart,

"Oh God, who are they! Christine, what's wrong with me? Am I not chained and hung up to heaven? Larry looked a little crazy, his memories flashing back in his pupils like a slide of frames, and he said with a wide tongue, "I'm not witnessing Frank and Julia's betrayal, again and again, but now it's you?" What are these mirrors and what the hell is wrong with me? ”

Larry looked around in horror like a madman struggling to get out of a mental hospital!

"It's all hallucinations?"

"Quiet!" Dean snapped his fingers, a telekinetic cue, and activated the "Master of Suffering", sucking out the pain and fear in Larry's heart, and he collapsed into his daughter's arms as if he were exhausted, unconscious.

Christine nodded gratefully at Dean and turned to the High Priest and asked, "What happened to Larry with you goddamn monsters?" ”

Nail Head wiped the spit off his face, "Christine, not everyone is as gifted as you and can maintain their composure after seeing the sight of purgatory, your father is a little delirious from the torture of the mind cage, but he can still repair it." When you get out, see a psychiatrist, and you can recover after a period of recuperation. ”

Christine's eyes grinned fiercely, revealing a row of small white teeth, as if she was about to bite off a piece of the high priest's flesh, and Dean held her father.

"Your grandmother is still suffering, hurry up."

"Yes, Debra!" Christine kissed her father on the side of the cheek and began to search for her loved ones around the mirror.

The nail head stared at the back of the girl who was rushing between the mirrors like a frightened fawn with his hands around his chest, and said meaningfully, "Look at that, such a genius will also be swayed by feelings, become fragile, sentimental, and vulnerable, and emotions are really the most chaotic poison in the world." ”

"Emotions are an expression of human nature," Dean stared into the eyes of the nail head, "if you despise it so much, why chase human nature, don't you worry that you will become equally vulnerable?" ”

"No, the power of my Lord will allow me to overcome the chaotic part of human nature," Nailhead said self-comfortingly, "and it will only become fuel and bring me closer to the ultimate answer to the flesh puzzle." ”

……

The discussion did not last long.

Christine walked through the thinking cage and failed to perceive her grandmother's whereabouts, and the group of four continued to set off towards the core area, entering a gloomy tunnel, at the end of the tunnel there was a terrible cold wind, mixed with a bloody breath, like steel needles drilled straight into the cracks of human bones, and on both sides of the tunnel were heavy stone walls, and dark doorways were displayed on them.

According to Nailhead, these doorways are "personal prisons" that hold strong-minded, more valuable souls brought from the real world to enjoy higher levels of suffering.

Dean glanced through the doorway, some people were rolling in the flames, some were naked and freezing in the ice and snow, some were kneeling on the ground like ascetics and whipping their backs, and there were incredible sights of flooding and electric shocks...

Screams and blood light floated out of the doorway, intertwining and echoing endlessly in the tunnel.

Unconsciously, Dean's expertise has reached 3 points of free attributes, and the progress of the "Journey to Another Dimension" has also reached 60% under the patient explanation of the tour guide.

"Not here," Christine said with a pale face, "Grandma isn't here." ”

"Bad news," the High Priest's eyes turned cold, "there is no her in the Flame Pit, the Thinking Cage, and the Personal Prison, there is only one possibility. ”

"What's the situation?"

"She is being transformed into a purgatory monk in the core area, in the labyrinth, but this is also normal, an old man who has suffered from illness for several years, and finally survived, with extraordinary intentions and potential to become a monk."

"Become a monk and stay here and serve the devil forever?" Christine hugged her father's arm and shook her head frantically, "No, my grandmother can't become a monk, she is a devout believer, even if she dies, she should go to heaven to serve God!" ”

"Don't say this ridiculous fairy tale of heaven and God in front of me...", the high priest's face showed undisguised disdain and disgust, apparently having heard enough of this rhetoric, "God will not bless you, and heaven is long gone." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Christine refutes,

"What does it mean that heaven is gone?" Dean asked, with a sharp edge in his tone,

The High Priest was silent for a long time, "You are not an ordinary person, so I will tell you one more piece of news - according to the knowledge given by my lord, a long time ago, there was an unprecedented apocalyptic crisis in the real world, although the world survived in the end... But heaven was devastated and shattered in the crisis, and many angels and gods in heaven once was... Some of them became Helllords, such as our lord (Leviathan) who was betrayed by God's group and changed from the legendary sea monster to the lord of purgatory, and the Christian demon (Papheran) became the lord of beasts... And God, the other part of the gods, is nowhere to be found, and it may fall, or it may be transformed into something else..."

Hiss –

Dean only felt a cool breath rise from the tail vertebrae, heaven is long gone, and God is missing?

"Are you serious? The gods have undergone an unknown transformation? ”

"Of course, haven't you wondered why God has never appeared in the last thousand years or so, and other gods have gradually become legends? Because what is said is the truth. ”

"What kind of crisis is that?"

"I don't know the specifics, but in short, that apocalyptic crisis completely changed the world." "The increasingly powerful convergence and inhibition laws in the real world today are all related to it. ”

Dean fell silent, and began to recall what the vampire Cepesh had said - gods can't call the shots.

Could it be that after this apocalypse, the gods will no longer be the rulers of the world?

A higher level of existence has emerged?

The end of the world, the fall of heaven.

These grand, dark imagery left Christine in shock and speechless for a long time.

"Wait—" The High Priest and Dean looked up at the distance at the same time.

Strange creatures emerged from the ceiling—tentacles wrapped in bundles of bright red muscle, with a ring of wolf-like white teeth at the top, a central crack that opened and closed like a deep-sea eel, and long strips of body swirled into the dark doorways on either side of the corridor, like a cluster of skinned pythons searching for escaped prey, looking unusually disgusting and hideous.

But under Dean's life perspective, these few tentacles actually revealed a level 5 life light, and he couldn't help but whisper in fear, "What is this?" ”

"The tentacles of my lord... A more loyal and powerful being than a monk, directly obeying my lord, equivalent to a personal guard. Each of the nails crisscrossed the high priest's face was solemn and amazed, "but they usually only transform and punish transgressors in the labyrinth... They shouldn't be in a personal prison, there must have been something unexpected that I didn't find out! ”

The High Priest said, his gaze sharply turned to Dean.

Accidentally?

Di An's head sank, but his face did not change - could it be that he entered this place with a mystery box?

Or is it because the "Master of Suffering" sucks the pain belonging to the Leviathan and is discovered?

As soon as he thought of this, Dean immediately turned off the specialty effect, and the attribute points of the crazy transformation stopped temporarily.

But it was too late.

A few tentacles at the end of the tunnel still swirled towards the four.

For the first time, the high priest's poker face showed a nervous expression, and with a push of his hands behind his back, a black light was released to envelop the bodies of the three companions, wrapped in a faint gauze, "Stand aside, squat, I'll take care of it." ”

Dean pulled Christine's father and daughter to his side from left to right, replenished a mental shield, and isolated the breath, and then turned his gaze.

The high priest's behavior is really unreassuring,

He had to make some backup plans, so he used his spirit to lock the ten star arrows in the fantasy space and enter the state of activating them at any time.

Whew—

The tentacles swirling on the ceiling came to the High Priest in the blink of an eye, and one of them instantly stretched two meters to the top of the High Priest's bare head, and then crawled down its neck, as if sniffing its scent.

And the high priest of level 6 faced the torture of the level 5 tentacles, but humbly lowered his head and let it check, but for three seconds, after the tentacles were checked, it slowly withdrew from the head of the nail, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, it opened its mouth of the black hole again, and aimed it straight in the direction where Dean was-

What it senses!

Obviously there were no eyes, but a circle of ten curved fangs around the mouth clicked and separated, and at the same time, a glass injection tube spat out of the mouth, and the glass tube was filled with a green liquid, and a drop oozed out along the sharp needle.

Tick, land.

Dean produced an eerie synaesthesia, hallucinating a body with scars that had been punctured, sliced, tightened, and then covered in ash, emitting a faint smell of vanilla, and a stench that could not be concealed under the smell of vanilla, swirling and radiating a pitch-black light, penetrating into the soul to awaken the deepest buried humanity within, closest to torture and suffering.

Christine's powered-out clockwork robot leaned motionless into Dean's arms, her eyes wide, her toes and fingers tensed, cold as a popsicle.

Even Larry Cotton, who was unconscious, seemed to have fallen into a nightmare, and his brows were wrinkled in horror!

……

"Crackle!"

The other three tentacles behind him also snaking in, coiling their bodies like predatory snakes, and the syringes above their heads were aimed at Dean, and they pounced—

Woohoo –

Arrows in the air!

Dean throws a star arrow.

This dark tunnel lit up with a dazzling starlight.

Eight tiny black holes emerged from the starlight, instantly devouring the four tentacles that pounced on Dean.

"You killed Leviathan's tentacles*4, Mastery +10*4, Shooting Lv5 (220→260/700)... Activated by the Supernatural Hunter, it draws 0.2 Perception, Perception: 25.3→25.5. ”

Dean looked at the two star arrows left in the space and picked up Christine.

The High Priest turned his head to look at him deeply and sighed, "I'm sorry, I can't make a move on them, otherwise it will be seen as a betrayal, now hurry up and complete the task before the tentacles react," the High Priest hooked his hand and walked quickly outside.

Dean directly rolled up Christine's father and daughter, and flew outside the exit of the personal prison like a teleportation, and then his body trembled and his eyes narrowed-

They entered an extraordinary, vast space, with their feet on the top corner of the room, and at their feet were the boxy, open-roofed houses next to each other, too numerous to count, arranged together like an infinite labyrinth.

And in the chamber lived monks dressed in black robes, covered with signs of dismemberment and torture.

Some are flipping through a copy of the Scarlet Gospel and studying the "art of suffering", some are gathering together to shout loudly, some are wrestling with their feet, and some are doing things between men and women in front of their companions...

Their appearance is too bizarre, ugly and hideous, no less than the army of nocturnal people with green fangs that Dean had seen in his vision.

At the last time, it is also a level 4 creature, and it has a disgusting charm, but whether the specific number is 666 like the beasts in Midian, Dean can't count it for a while.

……

The wind howled at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Dean looked up again, and the top of the labyrinth was no longer closed like the previous places, but an open space, filled with endless darkness and gloom, like a layer of mist in the sky when dusk and night were intertwined, and the moon and stars had not yet risen.

And between the dark sky and the top corner of the labyrinth, there are some strange containers like black coffins.

The most striking thing is that above these containers, in the middle of the sky, a huge golden building between a spindle and a prism is suspended.

It was like a floating golden palace, the size of a twenty-story building, slowly turning sideways, releasing a pitch-black light that made people dizzy.

At first glance, the progress of "Journey to Another Dimension" jumped to 80%.

And Dean was illuminated by this black light, and many visions appeared in front of his eyes - painful pictures of the past, but under the influence of the mirror shield expertise and super will, he shook his head violently and forcibly woke up, and then heard the shouts of Christine, whose hair was blown into a mess by the wind around him,

"Mom! Don't go, don't leave me! ”

"No, Grandma, you can't die!"

"Christine! Wake up! Dean grabbed her shoulder and shook it, instilling another wave of life energy, Christine's eyes regained consciousness in a trance, and she cried and threw herself into Dean's arms, "Woo... Mr. Kenny, I'm back at my mother's bedside when she died, and I see her suffering with my grandmother..."

Dean reassured, "It's okay, it's all an illusion." ”

The high priest then advised, "Be quiet, you two, and don't attract the monks below." We have reached the end, the labyrinth of the heart of purgatory, where the monks live, and where new monks are transformed. ”

Dean asked, "What is that golden, prismatic building?" ”

"Can't you see?" The High Priest said with awe, "This is my Lord at the center of the world." ”

This golden building is the Leviathan, a sleeping god?

A look of surprise flashed in Dean's eyes, and he asked, "Why is its shape and pattern so similar to the box of mourning when it has been fully unraveled?" ”

Dean was extremely sure that the Rubik's Cube that had been completely unlocked had also changed from a cube to a golden prism.

"Because the Mourning Box is a Rubik's Cube built in the form of the symbol of our Lord, it contains the ultimate puzzle of flesh and suffering, as well as great power, so solving the puzzle opens the door to two worlds."

The high priest looked down at his fellow men in the labyrinth and said with emotion,

"The world that our Lord has built is a land of order... Whether it is a monk or a soul in the real world, they can find their rightful home here, and be taught and transformed day after day..."

"But it also has a drawback, it is like an ancient machine that has been operating for thousands of years, and the sluggish gears and rotten flesh slowly turn, changing very slowly."

"I've waited for decades, and finally it's time for a change today."

Nail Head took Dean and Christine and Larry and flew along the top line to a black coffin-like transformer not far away, "When they transformed me, they hid my humanity inside. Christine's mother will most likely be reformed in one of them, Lord Kenny, go destroy them. ”

But the nailhead's voice ended.

Suddenly, there was a clear whirring sound from behind the prismatic building.

The fog dissipated, and huge shadows cast down.

A giant bone dragon with a length of more than thirty meters flew over with its white bone jagged wings, and its pupils in its hollow eye sockets were like needle tips, burning with ghostly fire, looking around the labyrinth, looking for something.

The High Priest flew lightning in front of a transformer on the left, "Oops! Alarm triggered... Destroy it before it notices us, and leave it alone! ”
