Volume 1 Crime and Punishment Chapter 53 Confession (Part II)

At the same time as the newborn figure disappeared under the floor of the house, three figures suddenly appeared at the door of the dilapidated house like ghosts, all three of them were dressed in black night clothes, and a gray robe was draped over it, and the hood of the robe was extremely wide, completely obscuring their faces.

The person on the left lifted the hood of the robe, revealing a charming face with half-length dark green curls, Miao Yun kept fanning the wind with his hand and said, "Oh, it's really hot, why do you have to wear this long-winded torn robe", Luo Mu also lifted the hood, glanced at Miao Yun dissatisfied, and Banker hurriedly came out to play the round "I just paid attention to it, everyone around here is resting, it's okay" Banker also lifted his hood as he spoke.

Miao Yun hurriedly stopped the hand of the fan, stuck out his tongue, Luo Mu did not speak, and quietly felt for a moment, the people in this residential area are not as rich in nightlife as the people in the distant city, Luo Mu carefully felt the wind in his ears, and could almost hear the sleeping breathing of people in every room, and at the same time, the ubiquitous wind also told Luo Mu that there was a huge space under the ground where the three of them were standing.

Luo Mu tilted his head and asked, "This is it", Bank nodded slightly, "Well, according to Igniz's information, it should be here, who would have thought that Adams guy would not live in such a big house next to the palace, so he had to run to such a poor and remote place" Miao Yun shook his hand and said disdainfully, "Hmph, don't these artists have such and such quirks, who knows what we will encounter when we go in"

Suddenly, Bank's eyes flashed with a white light, and then Bank's figure appeared behind the dilapidated house, Luo Mu and Miao Yun also hurriedly followed, Banker bent down and pulled up a piece of grass from the ground, it was the strange plant, and after the plant left the ground, it actually writhed as if it was alive, and the roots in the ground were like claws waving in the air, Bank's brows furrowed deeply, Luo Mu observed the plant for a moment and asked, "What is this?"

Bank's voice was not as relaxed as before, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this plant is called a mandrake" Miao Yun looked at the mandrake with a little fear and asked, "Why is this grass so disgusting" Banker continued, "Mandrake doesn't grow casually, this small piece of mandrake is cultivated here by someone with great effort"

Banker paused and continued, The growing conditions of the mandrake are extremely harsh, it generally grows around people who have hanged themselves, and if you want it to continue to grow, you must continue to feed it with a mysterious alchemy reagent mixed with human blood, and it is said that in the end, the mandrake will become a small man with hands and feet when it grows up, and the alchemists call this kind of villain Kuruz, but this is one of the most evil forbidden techniques in alchemy, because it is rumored that the person who successfully cultivates the mandrake will eventually die violently for no reason, alchemists have always believed that the creation of life is the divine right of the Creator, so this kind of research is absolutely forbidden wherever it is”

Miao Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "It seems that this Adams is not as simple as the information says that he is just a scientist with great achievements" Miao Yun turned his head to look at Luo Mu, but Luo Mu didn't seem to listen to the two of them, turned his head to look at the woods behind the dilapidated house, Luo Mu could see very clearly that there were countless undead in the woods wailing, and those who hanged themselves could never be reincarnated.

Miao Yun looked at the direction Luo Mu was looking at a little strangely and asked, "What's wrong?" Luo Mu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go in" Miao Yun and Banker nodded, Luo Mu took the lead and walked forward, the dilapidated house was still standing quietly, but under the quiet appearance, I don't know how many secrets were hidden, Luo Mu gently pushed the door, the door creaked open, Luo Mu felt it slightly for a moment, there was no movement in the house, he raised his feet and walked in, just when the three of them were just standing in the house, suddenly a loud shout resounded in the minds of the three of them at the same time, "Get out of here!"

Miao Yun and Bank were startled, and instantly turned their backs to Luo Mu and formed a defensive posture in different directions, but after the sound disappeared, nothing happened, Luo Mu still stood quietly, as if he didn't hear the sound, Bank touched Luo Mu with his elbow and asked, "Brother Mu, did you hear that" Luo Mu frowned slightly, and then let go, and said, "Since the master already knows that we are coming, there is no need to hide it"

Immediately after Luo Mu waved his hand, countless tiny wind blades scattered out from in front of Luo Mu, silently cutting everything in this room into pieces, and more than a dozen swarthy holes were revealed under the broken floor, Miao Yun and the two turned around and did not ask, because she and Banker had always believed that Luo Mu would make the right choice.

Luo Mu closed his eyes, and carefully felt the cold wind blowing out of the dozens of holes, but under his perception, these dozens of holes are connected to a huge space, as if there is no difference, Luo Mu no longer thinks, and raised his feet and stepped into a hole, under the hole is an extremely long downward staircase, the staircase seems to be carved directly from the stone in the ground, there is not the slightest gap or trace of splicing, as if this staircase is made in an instant.

The three of them walked down for half a moment and came to the small hollow, the walls of the hollow were inlaid with dark blue stones, these stones emitted a dark light, which could make people barely see everything in this space, Banke sighed and said, "It's really rich, the blue stone that is hard to change is actually installed on the wall for lighting" Luo Mu did not speak, there are many holes connected to the edge of this hole, Luo Mu casually chose one and walked forward.

Luo Mu clearly knew through the wind circling in this space that there were countless such forks in the road, but these countless forks in the road were all going down after all, and Luo Mu vaguely knew that no matter where he went, as long as he kept going down, and what kind of danger he encountered was not within his scope of consideration at all.

The three of them walked forward through countless rooms, and there was almost no difference in each room that the three of them passed, except for the first hollow, each room was full of various items, and Bank kept complaining about the tyrannical things of the master Adams here, countless extremely precious alchemy materials were discarded in the corners of each room like garbage, and in the process of the three of them walking, they met countless Kuruz villains that Bank had just mentioned, it seems that Adams did touch the alchemist's taboo and studied this forbidden technique, and the most shocking thing for Bank was that Adams actually succeeded, and actually created such a large number of Kuruz villains.

As if they couldn't see the three of them, these Kuruz villains hurriedly went about their own business, constantly dragging or holding all kinds of things to walk here, and they didn't seem to need to be commanded by anyone at all, and they would not get lost in this huge space, and in these countless rooms, the most common thing was a very small altar-like table, and on each table there was a strange pointed stone, and the task of those Kuruz villains was to take different alchemical materials from different rooms and throw them into the bowl-shaped mercury floating on the pointed stone。

The three of them walked very smoothly, and they didn't even encounter any obstacles, this strange smoothness made Luo Mu's brows furrow deeper and deeper, with his experience, this extremely smooth march was definitely not a good thing, the three of them went all the way down, and when they passed through a downward staircase, the light instantly became stronger, and this space became completely different.

Unlike the upper floors, this space is in the shape of an inverted bowl, the walls are polished extremely smooth, and the walls are not embedded with blue stones like the previous room, the circular ground of this space has a circular circle that fills the entire ground, the circle is composed of two layers, the inner and outer circles form a concentric circle shape, and between the outer circle and the inner circle are carved ten columns of strange words according to the circular distribution, the text is extremely obscure, and it seems as if there is a strange power to make people dizzy.

And there was only one character in the circle in the center, and Banker had opened his mouth in surprise at this time, "This is... This is..."Luo Mu turned around and asked, "What is this text?" Bank swallowed and said, "This is an extremely old alchemical script, which is almost unrecorded now, and I have only seen a little bit of it in Igniz's records."

Miao Yun asked a little impatiently, "Don't say these useless, what is written on it?" Bank shook his head, "I don't understand, but the character in the middle should mean kingdom" Miao Yun said, "Kingdom?

Luo Mu observed the surroundings slightly, although this room revealed a strange atmosphere everywhere, and the magic circle under his feet was flickering and emitting light, but it seemed that there should be no danger, Luo Mu said, "Keep walking" There was only one exit in front of this room, and then there were countless rooms that were the same as the first room, all of which were extremely smooth semicircular spaces, and there was also a magic circle on the ground that staggered light and darkness and radiated light, but the name of each room was different, and each room seemed to have some kind of strange power, but that power was extremely vague, so that the three of them couldn't figure their heads, and Luo Mu could also clearly feel that the three of them were not moving straight forward, but as if there was some kind of law zigzag forward.

Just as the three of them walked forward to the seventh room, Bank suddenly grabbed Luo Mu's arm, Luo Mu turned around, Bank was looking down and muttering something "Kingdom, Foundation, Glory, Victory, Beauty, Strictness, and Benevolence" These are the meanings of the characters in the center of the circle on the floor of the room where the three of them walked just now.

Banker suddenly raised his head and whispered, "I remembered! I remembered!" Luo Mu asked a little strangely, "What do you remember?" Bank's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly became higher, "This is the Tree of Life!" Banker grabbed Miao Yun, who was curiously leaning forward, and Bank's voice trembled slightly at this moment, "Maybe we can't go forward"

Miao Yun shook off Banker's hand, just now Banker grabbed Miao Yun with a lot of force, pinched Miao Yun a little painful, the two of them had almost never seen such a gaffe Bank, Miao Yun frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "What's wrong, what do you remember?"

Banker looked into the deep passage and said, "The room we are standing in now is the seventh essentia of the tree of life, benevolence, and the next essentia of the tree of life is called understanding, and the passage between benevolence and understanding is called..."
