Evening Bell Church

Su Ge walked up the steps carefully and looked at the roads on both sides.

On the left is an oval-shaped grandstand, but at this time there is a huge iron door in the middle blocking Sugar's way.

Of course, this iron gate couldn't stop Su Ge. The main reason he didn't want to go through was that it was too close to the Swollen Girl in the Sea of ​​Fog.

So continue walking up the steps on the right.

After crossing the steps, Su Ge came to a circular transfer platform full of grass.

There are steps going up from the transfer platform, and there is a huge iron gate on the left hand side.

This gate is about five meters high and six meters wide. It is thick and cold. It is made of steel as thick as an arm. There is a sharp spear tip below, which now penetrates deeply into the ground.

Su Ge lowered his head and looked at the spear tip that pierced the ground. He reached out and touched the dust. Through the cracks and depth, he could more or less restore some of the scenes at that time.

"The penetration is about thirty centimeters deep. This depth is not natural. It should be driven directly from the highest position out of control and into the ground."

Su Ge raised his head and saw that the chain on the inside of the handbrake had been broken. This meant that someone cut off the chain in a hurry, causing the gate to fall out of control.

After dusting off his hands, Su Ge looked through the gap in the iron gate and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Inside the gate is a very wide square with a relatively tall disk in the middle. There are exquisite reliefs on the ground. At the center is this statue of a man with no head and a majestic figure.

There are four similar gates leading to four directions around the square. At this time, three of them have fallen down, and only the gate facing Su Ge is still open.

However, what made Su Ge gasp was not the grandeur of the square, but the hundreds of strange skeletons that had been piled up for who knows how many years in the middle of the square.

These skeletons are piled together, and they are entangled with each other. Some skeletons are covered with bone spurs, some have terrifyingly large heads, and some have collapsed into a ball...

These bones had been aged for who knows how many years, and the bones were charred black, as if they had been burned by fire, or these people were burned to death by the flames.

You can see the struggle and madness of these people before they died.

Some people have their leg bones in the mouths of other skeletons, some people have their finger bones in the eyes of other skeletons, and some people have their skulls completely broken and were held in people's arms.

At this time, these skeletons fell to the ground in various postures, and they were covered with black mud that was as black as oil.

Seeing this black petroleum-like thing, Su Ge's divergent thoughts instantly came to a terrifying scene.

These people may be innocent refugees, but their bodies were contaminated with something. When they escaped, some people cut off the door and were trapped in the middle.

Afterwards, the fire burned, burning their bodies, hair, and bodies.

The body, fat, and internal organs burned by the terrifying flames gradually melted, and the ashes turned into these weird oily things that stuck to the bones.

Hiss, hiss...

Su Ge suddenly shuddered when he thought of this, feeling a little sick in his heart.

The disgusting scene of corpses burning with horrific heat and fatty oil leaking from human skin made Su Ge unable to help but retching.

"Damn it, grandma, you are just trying to kill yourself by thinking about what this thing is doing." Su Ge slapped his chest and cursed.

Erha on the side stood up at this time, grabbed the iron fence with two claws, and stretched his long and narrow mouth in, as if he wanted to get in through the fist-sized gap.

"Okay, idiot!" Su Ge grabbed the meat on the back of its neck and pulled it off. He looked at the weird square with a little awe and said, "It's better for us to stay away from this place."

The swollen daughter in the sea of ​​fog cast a shadow over Su Ge, and he now dared not explore too deeply into many places in these cities.

Follow the steps to the street above.

The building on this floor is no different from the one below. It is very small and dirty. You can see clothes, daily necessities, and even chairs and baby carriages thrown on the ground everywhere.

It seems that a horrific incident occurred here that enveloped the entire city. This incident was like the end of the world, causing all residents to flee in panic.

As a result, it seems that none of these people were spared.

The groundwater manhole cover emits a burst of light white steam, as if something below is evaporating the water.

Su Ge immediately stopped and released the aftermath of the evening bell to detect it.

Then, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

In the sewer, Su Ge saw the bodies of two people.

They were two divine punishers, professional level, and judging from their spiritual energy fluctuations, they were members of the Church of the Holy Blood.

At this time, there seemed to be flames burning under the two skins.

In the world of the aftermath, Su Ge clearly felt the extremely violent spiritual energy fluctuations and the terrifying high temperature.

The two of them lay down in the sewage. The hot temperature quickly evaporated the surrounding water and radiated from the manhole cover.

Su Ge didn't know how the two people entered the sewer, and he couldn't determine how the two people turned into such a strange form.

The flames seemed to be burning from the inside out of their bodies. When Su Ge peeked, violent spiritual energy suddenly burst out, and then the bodies of the two people began to burn violently.

However, Su Ge did not smell any burnt smell, but instead smelled a pungent smell.

Su Ge had smelled this smell before. After setting off firecrackers when he was a child, the air was filled with questions like this.

This is the smell of sulfur.

"Sulfur..." When Su Ge mentioned this word, a shadow fell on his heart.

Because it is a very common word on Earth, but it has a different meaning here.

There are many things in this world that represent some terrifying things.

For example, the sheep's head represents evil, the pentagram represents the clan, the stars represent the outer gods, the aurora represents the cult, and so on.

And sulfur represents: demons.

Higher creatures, non-man-made things created by the ancient gods.

After the end of the Age of Gods and the great changes in the world, the whole world is no longer suitable for demons to live.

Because they need to constantly consume a lot of sulfur to maintain their energy and form.

During the Age of Gods, there were many active volcanoes in the world, and they could get plenty of sulfur during that time.

However, after the Age of Gods, the world changed drastically, and the demons gradually faded out of human vision and gathered in a place suitable for them to live.

The place here refers to: the abyss.

What exactly is the abyss, no one has figured out yet.

Even the Wolf Blood Legion doesn't know what the abyss represents.

People only know that the abyss is the most twisted, darkest, most dangerous, and most vicious place in the world.

After the continuous efforts of the Wolf Blood Corps, people gradually discovered that the abyss is divided into twelve layers.

These twelve layers are not the twelve layers from top to bottom like the conventional buildings, but like twelve pieces of messy paper of different sizes and shapes, which are crumpled into a ball.

The entire abyss is detected to be oval, and in this oval, the twelve layers of paper are intertwined, twisted and sticky.

In the world, except for the Wolf Blood Corps, no one knows how to distinguish these twelve layers.

According to the information Su Ge learned from the church, each layer of the abyss is like a separate world. It may be a mountain, a city, or even just a small house, or it may be a sea.

However, it is worth affirming that it is full of weirdness and danger.

Because this is the habitat of all monsters and clans in the ancient God Age, and it is also the channel connecting this world with the twisting void.

The clans in the star realm and the tentacles of the outer gods enter the abyss through the twisting void, and then crawl into the human world from the abyss.

And the most core point of all the information is marked in blood-red fonts.

The abyss is alive!

The huge abyss is like a terrifying monster that contains twelve worlds.

People don't know whether it has self-awareness, but it is certain that its tentacles have extended into the rules of the world. Its terror and doom are linked to all those who have relationships and entanglements with it through cause and effect.

The famous motto of the Wolf Blood Corps is: When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

Any direct gaze is relative.

And just a simple gaze, the strange abyss can interfere with your destiny and destroy your life through sight.

Many records say that the abyss itself is a god from ancient times, but it has fallen into an unconscious sleep.

Su Ge supports this statement, because this terrifying thing has completely met the judgment criteria of all gods.

Even its power far exceeds many legendary gods.

When Su Ge came back to his senses from his thoughts, he found that the two clergymen in the sewer had turned into a pile of ashes, and they didn't know where they went along with the flowing sewage.

This sign made Su Ge more alert, and he began to wonder what this place was.

"Andrew said that the entire city is divided into the outer side and the inner side. We were just on the inner side of the outer city. We were thrown here by the Shoggoth, so we should still be on the inner side of the city. Is this the inner side of the inner city?"

Su Ge frowned slightly, and his eyes kept looking around.

However, he found that the layout here was completely different from the original inner city. The most obvious thing was that there was no palace in this city.

Whether it was the outer side or the inner side, it must be based on something with real existence and real concepts.

It is obvious that the corresponding law between the outer side and the inner side has been broken here.

"According to Andrew, the core of this summoning is most likely the skull from the abyss. That skull is the direct descendant of Emperor Byron, the mutated skull of Carl. He himself has a deep relationship with the abyss and even summoned Emperor Byron and the Holy Grail of Souls in the abyss."

"If we follow this line of thought, does it mean that during the summoning process, the Byrondias people established a connection with the abyss through the skull, thus forming some special channels or links. And the Shugus's flip just now threw us from the inner city into the abyss city under the inner city."

Thinking of this, Suger's thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Although the inner city is real, it is a shadow hidden in reality after all. Many things in it are not real, and even have a clear sense of falsehood and disharmony. But it is different here. Here, my evening bell aftermath can stretch normally, and the swollen girl just now is also real. So it is very likely that this is not the inner world, but the outer world. And this city is located in a certain layer of the abyss. The two clergy who just died should have been killed by the abyss demons."

The train of thought is completely smooth, and Su Ge is more vigilant about this dead city.

Although the demons are not the followers outside the starry sky, and their abilities are not as strange as those followers, but as local creatures, their overall combat is several levels higher than that of normal followers.

Under normal circumstances, the strength of the fire demon that can be seen by 35 points of spiritual vision is stronger than that of ordinary experts.

Based on the characteristics just now, Su Ge can judge that the two divine punishers were attacked by the fire demon.

Woo woo woo woo...

At this time, a sharp and high-pitched roar came from the distance. Su Ge stood here and looked in the direction of the sound. Through the crowded spires, he vaguely saw a circular platform at a relatively high place.

On the platform, there was a vague shadow that could not be seen clearly.

"Is it him who made the sound?" Su Ge's heart moved, and he continued to move forward along the road.

The crowded and messy path was winding, and there were some dark forks and garbage alleys on both sides from time to time.

Erha followed Su Ge with his ears erected, and his pair of ice-blue eyes widened to look at the surrounding situation.

At this moment, it also felt the danger and extraordinaryness of this place.

Click! Click...

At this time, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground slowly approached.

Before Su Ge felt happy, he instantly clenched his cane and looked alert.

Amid the footsteps, there were heavy friction sounds.

This friction sound seemed like some kind of metal being carried on the ground by a person.

It seemed like a steel pipe, or some heavy object.

The aftermath of the evening bell continued to be released, and Su Ge sighed, "I knew this was the case."

A few seconds later, a two-meter-tall, sturdy and even bloated body walked out of the alley.

The body of this monster was a member of the Holy Sword Team. Su Ge could tell his identity from his silver-gray armor and the huge steam sword on the ground.

At this time, the Holy Sword Master had undergone a terrible mutation.

His body seemed to have suffered severe corrosion, his skin was gone, and the bright red flesh was exposed.

At the same time, there were many black bones attached to his body.

These bones were covered with black oily liquid, which connected the completely scattered bones to each other through these liquids, forming a creeping bone slime monster.

At this time, the slime monster was attached to the body of the Holy Swordsman, and the black oil had filled his eyes and mouth. The black human skeleton was attached to the body of the Holy Swordsman, and even integrated into his muscles, controlling his body.

"Those things are actually alive!?" Su Ge instantly recalled that he had just passed by and saw those black substances in the square.

At this time, he was very glad that he did not fly over the gate to see what was there.

It can be seen here that these things should also belong to the monsters of the possession system, using the invasion of the enemy's body as the main means.

"Ahhh..."

Beside the head of the Holy Swordsman, a dark skull seemed to be his second head, with black eyes staring at him, and his jaw slowly opened under the connection of black oil, making a disgusting cry.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The moment he saw Su Ge, the Holy Swordsman twisted the Holy Sword in his hand, and the roar of the motor suddenly sounded, and then the strong body holding the Holy Sword came to Su Ge in almost the blink of an eye.

"So fast, his physical strength has actually been enhanced!" Su Ge was shocked and instantly supported the Evening Bell Protection.

Boom!

This holy sword chopped on the master-level Evening Bell Protection, as if it was chopped on a heavy bell, and a low and deafening roar was emitted, and then the Evening Bell Protection suddenly shattered.

The monster here was rebounded by the vibration of the Evening Bell Protection, and the holy sword was shaken and flew out of his hand, fell to the ground and pierced the floor tiles directly, and stuck into the ground.

The monster was also not feeling well. It was shaking all over, and its body was shaking violently and uncontrollably. It took a few steps back as if it was paralyzed, and knelt on the ground powerlessly.

"The attack of the holy sword is indeed fierce. It actually split my master's Evening Bell Protection with a professional-level attack." Su Ge was a little surprised.

But then, he looked at the monster sitting on the ground and couldn't stand up and said lightly: "But it is still professional-level after all."

The Evening Bell Protection that had just been blessed with knowledge not only has defense, but also has a strong defensive counterattack ability.

At the moment of impact, the constantly vibrating sound waves of the Evening Bell Protection were transmitted to his body through the Holy Sword, causing his body to vibrate and resonate violently with the frequency of the Evening Bell.

Such a terrifying amplitude and shaking made his whole body numb, his muscles congested, his ligaments torn, his bones damaged, and he lost all his mobility.

Erha then approached and circled around him twice, his blue eyes full of curiosity, and he moved his black nose to sniff.

Puff!

After sniffing, Erha suddenly took a step back, sneezed, turned around and stretched out his claws to scratch the ground, as if to bury this smelly thing

Su Ge couldn't help laughing at this idiot, and then walked over to take a closer look at the Holy Swordsman who had lost his ability to move.

At the moment when Su Ge approached, the black mud attached to the Holy Swordsman suddenly surged up, quickly broke away from the Holy Swordsman's body, and pounced on Su Ge's body.

Su Ge was very calm, without any intention of dodging, as if he was very sure that this thing would not cause any harm or pollution to him.

The Husky standing by had been alertly helping its owner keep an eye on the smelly stuff.

Just as the black mud was about to touch the corner of Su Ge's clothes, the Husky suddenly opened its mouth and blew out a white cold air.

Kakaka...

The terrifying cold air has an instant freezing ability comparable to hoarfrost.

In less than a second, the black mud turned into an ice sculpture with a strange shape, stopping less than a centimeter away from the corner of Su Ge's clothes.

The holy swordsman knelt on the ground powerlessly, and the strange black mud skeleton was half detached from his body and half attached to his body. At this time, it was completely frozen, as if his armor was half taken off and frozen. It looked very strange, and there was also this kind of abstract artistry.

Su Ge slightly walked around the statue and looked down at the head and upper body of the holy swordsman who had revealed his original appearance.

The man was dead, and Su Ge couldn't even feel his remaining soul and spiritual energy. It was probably eaten by the monster.

"All the monsters here have the means to attack the spirit. They are worthy of being monsters derived from the Holy Grail of Souls. They really have a set of skills for souls and spirits." Su Ge sighed in his heart.

He didn't plan to move the corpse, so he just let it stay here in this posture.

Lobo has the same ability as his divine body. The cold wind just now was naturally the purest white frost, even more powerful than Jellos's white frost.

He was very sure that this black mud skeleton monster was dead and could not die any more.

Continuing to move forward along the road, the buildings in front became more and more dense, and there were more and more scattered garbage on the ground.

Su Ge moved forward confidently and steadily. With his own evening bell, plus Lobo's hearing and sense of smell, Su Ge had absolute confidence in vigilance and detection.

This also made his steps look very leisurely at this time, giving people a feeling of not taking an adventure, but taking a walk.

...

After walking in the city for more than an hour, Su Ge did not see any other living creatures except the monster he just saw, let alone familiar humans.

The whole city is very large and also very winding.

As he walked, Su Ge found that he was actually lost.

In his impression, he was clearly walking up all the time, but after walking a circle, when he walked up an uphill path, he unexpectedly found that he was back to the location of the dilapidated chapel at the beginning.

"What the hell is going on?" This time, Su Ge did not move forward rashly, but found a place to sit down.

After walking for more than an hour, he was already a little tired, and did not dare to continue walking rashly, as that would only waste his energy.

After Erha returned to his original position, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he seemed to not understand why he came back like this.

While Su Ge was resting and thinking, he ran to the small church full of dust and rubble, rummaging through boxes and cabinets everywhere.

Awoo! Awoo!

After smashing countless jars and knocking over countless cabinets, Erha suddenly made a strange cry.

Su Ge came to his senses and rushed over, just in time to see Erha, who was covered in dust, standing in the middle of a pile of broken jars, shouting loudly at a locked door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This door, which had been through countless years, was full of dust and traces of dilapidation.

On the other side of the door, it was like a person holding a huge hammer, smashing the door hard with great force.

Bang!

There was a heavy sound. Seeing that the rivets on the door hinge were about to fall off, Su Ge hurriedly took Erha back a step, and looked at the door with his whole body tense.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ! ! !

After three more hits, the solid broken door finally succumbed to the terrifying force.

With a thump, the huge door fell down and raised a lot of dust. Su Ge clenched his cane and released the aftermath of the evening bell for detection.

The next second, he was stunned.

"Is it you!?"

A skinny middle-aged man covered in blood walked out of the dust.

It was the butcher.
