Chapter 19: Breaking into the Temple at Night

In the afternoon, Lou Chengzhong returned to the port of Fatuya.

Without greeting the consul Mao Xiaobing, he took a detour, passed through neighborhoods where there was occasional firefights, and left the city on his own and entered the desert outside the oasis.

At this time, the scorching sun is shining, and the sunlight seems to have lost all its blocking and filtering, "igniting" the air current, "burning" the gravel, and the naked eye can see that it is "distorted", like an illusion.

During the running, Lou Cheng only felt that his resonance with "heaven and earth" had changed greatly, the darkness weakened, the cold subsided, and the brightness, scorching, high temperature and heaviness were clear and intense.

It's like a "cosmic sky map" zoomed in and locked onto an area covered by a stellar "storm".

"It's no wonder that the strong people outside the gang are particularly concerned about the 'geographical advantage', there is the so-called home advantage, different environments, can indeed strengthen themselves, weaken the enemy, one plus and one subtraction, the effect is quite obvious...... Relatively speaking, I balance hot and cold, and ice and fire rotate, and I am less restricted. Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and his pace quickened, like a high-speed running train, whistling through the long yellow sand, dividing a terrifying ravine, but in the four rolls of the wind, it was quickly covered with gravel and filled.

After jumping over the dragon gate, tempered by the feedback from the outside world "Heaven and Earth", his physical strength has improved again, but compared with before, there is no substantial jump, even if he will use this to polish day and night in the future, and approach the forbidden realm, it will be the same, it will become stronger, but limited.

His biggest change is that his spirit has been improved, and the trickling stream has become a rushing river, so that the reflection of the "Ice Mirror" on the surroundings has suddenly expanded from one or two meters to about ten meters, and when fighting, he can rely on "resonance" to borrow the power of the outside world, or enhance the power of his fists and feet, attack from a distance, or "transform" the environment, and affect the opponent.

Since it is not yet a real external gang, the connection with "heaven and earth" is not stable enough, and Lou Cheng will have unstable fluctuations in the application of the latter.

Of course, he also considered an emergency solution, that is, to use the "strength to hold the force" and use the "Dan" made by the balance rotation to imitate the cultivator and temporarily "reinforce".

In the midst of his thoughts, Lou Cheng was like an earthy yellow dragon swimming close to the ground, skimming over the sand dunes and passing the occasional oasis.

This time, less than two hours later, before sunset, he saw the city of Kukang, known as the pearl of the central Nile.

Bordered by the famous Great Desert to the west and the Isis River to the east, it is rich in minerals, numerous businesses, and high-rise buildings, making it a fairly modern metropolis, and in this area, it is only slightly worse than the Nile capital of Decca.

The sky was burning red, magnificent and magnificent, covering the city with a red veil, and Loucheng circled around the edge of the huge oasis for a while, and found that several important roads were set up with cards, and the soldiers were remarkably disciplined, except for the occasional hand-in-hand or some payment, there was nothing out of the ordinary, in stark contrast to Tetans and Fatua.

Seeing this, the first words that came to Lou Cheng's mind were two words:

Order!

"The actual controller of Kukang is very capable...... he sighed to himself, did not take the main road, climbed over many obstacles, and quietly entered the city.

Passing through the streets, he saw the remnants of the firefight, the bitter faces of the residents lining up for water, and the fanatical or numb marchers.

Because the Chinese consulate in Kukang was organizing a large army to withdraw to Dika and left this place, Lou Cheng did not go there first, and according to the map, he directly found the vicinity of No. 63 Gunham Street.

This is the residence of Cyris' son, GΓΌru.

However, there appears to have been fierce fighting, with several buildings charred and blackened, windows nearly completely shattered, and clear bullet holes everywhere.

In this environment, the third floor of apartment No. 63 is particularly conspicuous, and the walls facing the street have all collapsed, revealing a dilapidated picture inside, as if it has been ravaged by demolition teams, so that it affects the upper and lower floors.

"This is an inhuman fight...... One side's resistance was quite short-lived, otherwise the entire apartment would collapse......" Lou Cheng stared at Gulu's residence, and had a preliminary judgment in his heart:

When Uncle Siris came to pick up his son's family, he was ambushed, and if there were hostages, he might be captured quickly......

So who did it?

Lou Cheng looked around and saw that there was a serious riot here, except for the miserable corpses, wandering dogs, rats and flying insects, there was no living person, and under the background of sporadic gunfire in the distance, it was extremely quiet and deadly silent.

At this moment, Lou Cheng's heart moved, turned his head to look at the back, and said in a low voice:

"Who?"

From the half-collapsed store, a man with black hair and black eyes came out, he was in his thirties, described the vicissitudes of life, his eyes were resolute, and he was a Chinese at a glance.

"I'm Wang Dong, a special investigator of the military, are you Lou Cheng?" the man smiled and took out his ID.

Lou Cheng has reined in the "interaction" with the surroundings, and no longer has the feeling of interfering with heaven and earth, and nodded solemnly:

"Yes, you're here to investigate Siris's whereabouts?"

He was not afraid of a sneak attack, and the artist boldly took the certificate and compared it with the information given by the military before.

Wang Dong frowned slightly and said:

"After Siris lost contact, I came to Kukang and launched an investigation, I was much earlier than you, there were still residents here who had not evacuated at that time, after inquiries and follow-up verification, it was basically determined that the Siris family was captured by the high priest of the Temple of Isis, and they are currently being held inside the temple, waiting to be dealt with. ”

"Isis Temple, High Priest?" Lou Cheng returned the document to the other party.

Wang Dong muttered: "When Siris sought refuge, he told many secrets, including the religious conflict of the Nile, the Isis sect was a diehard loyalist of the Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh seemed to want to restore the ancient situation of the gods...... In short, the high priest of the Isis sect in the local temple represents the will of the pharaoh to some extent, and his strength is not weak, close to Waigang, before the Brotherhood's General Satah wanted to kill him, but for some reason he couldn't succeed, in addition to him, the temple also has three or four inhuman-level powerhouses, if you want to save people, be careful. ”

"Okay, is there any more detailed information about the temple and this high priest?" Lou Cheng asked.

"A lot, including satellite pictures of the temple, self-drawings of visitors, drawings of municipal construction structures......" Wang Dong was taken out of a bunch of things from a military backpack.

With these, Lou Cheng basically grasped the situation of the temple after nightfall, but he did not rush to make a move, but took advantage of the darkness to circle around the building, if his eyebrows were opened, his spirit turned into an invisible hand, stretching and covering a range of ten meters, so that every detail was either vaguely or clearly reflected in the heart lake ice mirror.

There is no premonition of danger...... A few non-humans are at a distance...... Lou Cheng stopped and said to Wang Dong: "Have you made the follow-up evacuation arrangements?"

"It's done!" Wang Dong replied in a deep voice.

"Then I'll do it. Lou Cheng nodded slightly.

"Be careful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but admonish.

"Okay. Lou Cheng didn't say much, turned around, reached out, pressed on the protrusion of the wall, and the whole person rose into the air and jumped to the edge of a window on the third floor.

With a tug of his shoulder, he used precise force to directly "unload" the window and lay it flat silently.

Yue will go in, there is no one inside, Lou Cheng leaned against the door, listened attentively, and felt carefully for a while, Huo Ran opened the door and rushed out, at this time, there were just two guards left in the corridor outside, and instinctively looked over.

The ancient words in his mind were outlined, and the cold light in his eyes was sharp, Lou Cheng just glanced at the two strong guards, and they broke down and burst into tears, as if they had encountered a monster from the depths of the underworld.

After the qualitative change in spirit, the effect of Lou Cheng's simplified "soldier" formula has doubled!

Striding up, his hands raised, and with a knife on his side, Lou Cheng stunned the two guards, circled the circular corridor, and silently rushed to the opposite side.

That's the high priest's room!

Lou Cheng's plan was to capture the thief and capture the king first, and not waste time exploring the detention place of the Siris family from ordinary guards who might not know.

His heart beat slowed, his breathing weakened, and the temperature on his body was covered by cold, and he managed to evade the infrared alarm.

"There is more than one person in the room...... Lou Cheng seems to be a god looking down, using an ice mirror to reflect the blurred situation inside.

In this regard, there is indeed a qualitative gap between non-people and outsiders!

"Two non-humans, but in different small rooms, one feels stronger, and there are several others with average strength, or even non-human, and weaker non-people...... Judging this, Lou Cheng's heart moved, and he understood what the situation was.

The Cyris family was imprisoned in a secret chamber in the high priest's quarters!

Lou Cheng said secretly, deliberated on the next details, and Huo Ran opened the door and entered!

The high priest was immediately aware of it, and as soon as he got up from the chaise longue, he saw a dark shadow approaching, and there was a loud sound of wind in his ears.

His arms shook out suddenly, up and down, block and dozen, all of them were condensed by ghostly light, and he didn't hesitate, trying to make a big movement and attract the rest of the temple's powerhouses.

At that moment, a biting wind that seemed to come from the depths of the North Pole blew up and hit him, making him shiver involuntarily.

With a shudder, his strength weakened, and Lou Cheng's right fist had already slashed down and slammed it on the high priest's forearm.

Before he entered, he prepared a "head drink", and used it to hook the outside world and attract the "north wind"!

Bang!

In the muffled sound of collision, the high priest who was caught off guard instantly lost his mind, as if he was frozen.

Lou Cheng succeeded in a move, how could he let it go, his left palm slashed out like lightning, knocking the opponent unconscious!

Between breaths, the winner is decided!

Raiders do have a huge advantage!

He stretched out his foot, and the high priest fell silently and lay down again.

Without delay, Lou Cheng found the secret room, broke the lock, and pushed the door to enter.

"Who?" asked a dark-skinned, sturdy, black-haired, blue-eyed old man feebly.

He seems to have been drugged with some kind of drug.

Without waiting for Lou Cheng to answer, after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the old man blurted out in surprise:

"Are you Shi's disciple?"

"Yes, Mr. Siris?" Lou Cheng asked for confirmation.

Feeling the infusion of the cold wind and the interaction between the other party's body and the outside world, the blue-eyed old man nodded half puzzled and half joyful:

"I'm Siris. ”

After answering, he muttered to himself:

"I didn't say it's so strong......"

"Let's get out of here first. Lou Cheng looked around and made a decision.

............

Inside a building near a military base.

Konstantin looked at the "mummy" idly: "The helper has not yet arrived?"

"It's about dawn. "Mummy" replied calmly.

Just then, someone came and whispered a few words to the caretaker outside, who turned and knocked on the door and asked the "mummy" to come out.

A moment later, the "mummy" returned to Konstantin and said:

"There's something going on at the temple, there's a little reptile causing trouble, I'm going to take care of it. ”

Konstantin shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Come back as soon as possible and don't let me get too boring. ”
