Chapter 53 Shelter

The "safe house of the sanctuary" refers to a fast hotel near the nightclub, which is also the property run by the nuns.Chris showed his "Platinum VIP Membership Card" at the front desk, and was respectfully led to a business suite by the waiter.This fast hotel is also a holy place for hookups. Those men and women who see each other in the nightclub will probably come here to get a bed. It is said that you can enjoy discounts with the membership card of the nightclub.Dominique thought that nuns really know how to do business, this is a one-stop service in the catering and entertainment industry!

Due to the nature of the hotel itself, they could always hear the sounds of huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?During this period, Chris complained more than once that the condoms provided by the hotel were uncomfortable to use, and asked Dominic if he could not wear a condom.Dominique found the offer tempting, but turned it down.

On the second night, the nun called them and said that the spell was ready. There was a special room in the underground of the casino for casting the spell, and the time was set for the morning of the third day when the nightclub was closed. affect the guests.Another day later, Chris and Dominic went to the warehouse to deliver the model boat back to the shelter.When they opened the box containing the model, they found in disbelief that the holy water contained in the box had dried up, and the statue of the Madonna had turned into a pile of blackened fragments, as if burned by flames.The power of the Apocalypse Knight is really incredible.

They entered through the back door of the shelter carrying the model ship and descended a secret staircase.The stairs are much longer than the one leading to the casino, and each floor has a door leading to nowhere.They walked down an unknown number of floors, and finally arrived at the destination, the floor numbered MG (he couldn't count which floor it was, and the underground floors were not numbered, but strange letter codes were used).He couldn't believe that there was such a large space under the shelter.It is indeed one of the secret bases of the demon hunters.

Behind the door on the numbered MG floor was a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was a room divided into two by a glass wall. The nun had been waiting for them in the room.She directed the two to move the model ship to one side of the glass wall, while they stayed on the other.

"This is the Mirror Room," the nun introduced. She was holding a small and exquisite remote control. Looking across we see only a mirror."

"It's like the interrogation room in the police station!" Dominique suddenly realized.

"That's right. Usually this place is also used as an interrogation room, but it has other uses."

"Used to cast spells? But I didn't see the magic circle or anything... How are we going to destroy the black ship?"

"The answer is the mirror." The nun patiently explained, "There is a kind of mirror image magic attached to the mirror, anyone reflected in the mirror will be divided into two, one half will remain in the real world, and the other half will remain in the world in the mirror." Destroying the mirror will kill people in the real world and the world in the mirror at the same time. I think it may also work for the Apocalypse Knights, and the Apocalypse Knights can be regarded as "people". I let the black ship reflect in the mirror—— Of course, from our side, it's just a piece of glass—then smash the mirror and try to disable the power of famine on the black ship."

"It's amazing magic! I've never heard of it!" Dominique exclaimed.

The nun smiled inscrutably, "Really. I didn't know there was such magic before. It was taught to me by a sister in the church."

"She must be a very good magician!"

"Perhaps. She's long since passed away."

Dominique touched the glass wall in awe, feeling how smooth and cold it was under his palm. "But how do you break the glass? It's bulletproof, right?"

"I installed a miniature bomb on the glass." The nun held up the remote control in her hand, "Just press the button to blow up the glass wall. But you'd better stand far away later, so as not to be accidentally injured by the flying glass shards."

Dominic nodded yes.

The three retreated to the wall, keeping as far away from the glass wall as possible.The nun asked if they were ready, and when she answered in the affirmative, she covered her face with one arm to protect herself from broken glass, and held the remote control with the other hand to press the red button on it.

All of a sudden, there was a loud bang, and the glass wall turned into thousands of fragments like an iceberg that had collapsed on the Arctic sea of ​​ice, like the splashes of a waterfall falling into a deep pool, carrying a mighty force. fell to the ground.Dominic quickly blocked his face, not daring to look at the shattered glass anymore. He could feel many small glass shards splashing on his body, but luckily it did not cause any harm.

"Did it work?" Dominic lowered his arms and asked after the glass wall shattered.

At first, the black ship lay intact on the floor across the room, seemingly unscathed.But after a few seconds, Dominic keenly noticed a tiny crack appeared on the hull.Some kind of dark gas gushes from the crack, like smoke, but lighter than smoke.The black air rose into the air and condensed into the figure of a woman, with fluttering skirts, long hair dancing like snakes, and no facial features, only a pair of bright red eyes.

An erratic voice entered Dominic's ears—no, he knew that he didn't "hear" any sound, it sounded directly in his brain.

"Son of man," said the woman with black air, "I am impressed."

"Are you a famine knight?"

The woman didn't answer, but just stared at Dominic with deep meaning in her blood-red eyes.

"In this way," she seemed to be talking to herself, "my mission is completed. The second of the three conditions is about to be fulfilled...the rest will be left to..."

"What did you say? What mission? What conditions?"

The black air suddenly dissipated, as if the wind was blowing away.In the blink of an eye, there was nothing left in the mirror, only shards of glass and the black ship model.Afterwards, when people see the latter again, they will only think it is a strange and tattered model, and they will not find it any amazing charm.Famine Knight's power has been dissipated from here, and he can no longer rely on models to confuse others.

"You're done." The nun said happily, "Although the model is not destroyed, the power of the Apocalypse Knight is gone, and it will be just an ordinary model from now on. It can also be destroyed by ordinary physical means. But since the power of famine No longer, and that doesn't seem necessary anymore."

"Hope Abby's back to normal," Chris murmured.

"Everyone, do you smell a strange smell?" Dominique said.

The other two sniffed the air carefully, and sure enough, they smelled a strange smell—the smell of something burning.There is no open flame between the mirrors, so the smell must be coming from outside.

The nun's expression changed suddenly, she hurried to the door, pushed the door open, and coughed violently.

"Oops, there is such a strong smell, there must be a fire." She held the door, turned and looked anxiously at the two people behind her, "Why at such a time...we can't stay here, even though there are ventilation devices on the basement floor , but the smoke will soon pour down, and the fire may spread below."

The three of them quickly left between the mirrors, walked through the corridor, and entered the stairwell connecting all floors underground.The smell of smoke is stronger here.

"Is there only one way to the surface?" Chris looked up the stairwell.

"Only one!"

"...then there is no other way, we can only go up!"

The three undressed (the nuns took off their headscarves), covered their mouths and noses, and climbed desperately up the stairwell.The higher you go, the stronger the smell of smoke, the smoky smoke gradually fills the field of vision, and the surrounding temperature also slowly rises.

"Why did the fire suddenly break out at this time? And we haven't been down for a long time. If it was an accident, how could the fire become so big in a short period of time?" Chris said while coughing.

The nun's eyes darkened: "You mean...someone set fire on purpose?"

"It's very possible! But you can only find out the truth if you go out. Are there any employees on duty in the store now? Can you call someone down to rescue us?"

"There is no one in the store. Nightclubs and casinos are open at night, and employees don't come to work until the afternoon at the earliest. In order not to be disturbed, I deliberately picked this time."

That's about as bad as it gets.They are trapped in the isolated underground, with a burning fire above their heads. If they do not escape in time, they will be choked to death by the thick smoke or suffocated. Even if they leave the underground floor, they will also fall into the fire.Even if the local fire brigade responded quickly enough and rushed to the scene to fight the fire, they would think that there was no one in the store and would not send someone in to rescue them.So they can only rely on themselves.

Climbing a few more floors, the three of them could hardly keep their eyes open from the smoke, and to make matters worse, the fire had spread into the stairwell.The nun took the lead and used freezing spells to cool down the front. Once the fire was reduced, several people rushed forward immediately.Although the nun's spell is powerful, it can only temporarily suppress the flames in a small area, but after a while, the fire next to it will burn over.After repeating this several times, they finally reached the top of the stairwell.Chris slammed open the door, a gust of scorching air rushed in, and thick smoke billowed in, marking that they had finally returned to the ground and entered the nightclub.

The store was blazing and the temperature was so unbelievably hot that Dominique felt like his skin was melting.They stooped and walked through the labyrinth of flames.Every now and then a burning pillar or beam would fall from the sky and block their way, and the nun would cover her mouth and nose with one hand and sign with the other to tell them to follow her the other way.

When they were struggling to find their way in the fire scene, Dominic suddenly tugged at Chris's sleeve, yelled "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"Chris straightened up a little, and was immediately stunned by what he saw—a person was dancing on the dance floor surrounded by flames!

With arms outstretched in the air and an invisible partner in his arms, the man danced the foxtrot leisurely, oblivious to the fire around him, and even seemed to enjoy it.Chris could even hear him singing, singing, and the man said in a recitative tone, "Burn! Burn! Burn! Oh, how beautiful you are! Please stop!"

- Fucking sick!Chris and Dominic thought at the same time.

"Damn, Chris, I seem to know that person!" Dominic clenched Chris' hand in horror, "Isn't that Vincent Bedworth! It's the thief who stole the painting!"
