Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

915

After the water receded, members of MI9 used their own methods to test the depth of the hole and confirmed that it would not exceed ten meters.

This height is nothing to extraordinary people of any sequence. The physical enhancement obtained in sequence 9 is enough to protect them from injury. But the problem at hand is not just jumping down, but where the hole leads to and whether there is a road inside.

This is another "residence" for a god-level being. Even though they are loyal believers, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen at all.

"Do you want to go down here?"

"Um."

The team members were a little suspicious, but the commander knew the reason for the hole, but he couldn't tell others. Since his wish was "a hidden entrance" and he has successfully completed the transaction, he must be able to enter the mausoleum smoothly.

He looked back at the rest of his team members, and there was an indescribable emotion growing in his heart - he was originally unwilling to use this sealed artifact, despite the expression on the demon family's face when it was given to him. It's "You've made a lot of money" - but in the end, loyalty to the emperor outweighed the affection and attention to his subordinates. When he made up his mind to write the first word on that inconspicuous little piece of paper, his hands were obviously trembling a little and he was reluctant in his heart, but he wrote the entire sentence very quickly.

Once conscience and bottom line no longer exist, there is only so much that can be done.

He did not immediately slip into deceiving himself into thinking that these subordinates would be willing to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty the Emperor, although sacrificing subordinates without saying a word has gradually become acceptable. I just don’t know what the price of each request will be. It might be okay if he just kills one of his subordinates every time, but his subordinates are limited, and he will eventually get it.

I hope I won’t continue to use that item in the future. The thing given by the Demon Family is still too evil... The officer thought uneasily, but his hand involuntarily touched his chest without leaving a trace, feeling the little finger-thick little one. The raised touch of the glass bottle.

Although the evil nature is terrifying, this simple and crude method of use is indeed the best tool to deal with emergencies at the moment, and it can bring him an indescribable sense of security.

He took out a small extraordinary object from his arms.

It was impossible to use torches in heavy rain, and the lanterns were easily extinguished, but this thing was covered with a thick opaque cloth. Lifting up a corner of the cloth, a bright and warm light immediately shone out.

At this moment, everyone immediately saw clearly that the soil on the wall of the cave was actually dark red, exuding a faint fishy smell that was scary.

The chief ignored the expressions on the faces of the other members and their hesitation to speak. He said to follow, and then jumped directly into the hole more than one meter wide with the extraordinary item that radiated light. Before he could count to three in his mind, his feet had already landed on the unstable stone ground. His thoughts did not come true, and he did not step on anything.

He picked up the extraordinary object with some worry and looked around, and found a path ahead, which was so dark that even the light could not illuminate it. But it is not so much a path as it is a gap in a collapsed building. The sharp edges of various stones protrude from all directions. If you are not careful, you will be punctured and scratched. The MI9 members above received his safety signal and jumped down one by one. They looked left and right in the crowded and narrow cave for a long time, but they could not find the body of the companion who had died unexpectedly just now.

The body of such a big man disappeared like this, not a single bone was found, and only the vague smell of blood permeated the surroundings. It was as if he didn't disappear, but completely dissolved in this tunnel.

They looked at each other and felt a chill in their backs, but no one dared to disobey the commander's order.

"What is the approximate location here?" The commander did not act rashly, nor did he use any extraordinary power. He silently poured his spirituality into it, making the extraordinary items brighter, but no matter what, the path ahead was still dark, and it was impossible to see clearly from one meter away.

"The northeast corner of the mausoleum." The team member replied softly. "From a height perspective, we should be at the junction of the ruins of the surface buildings and the underground part. We still need to find a downward ladder to officially reach the underground area."

After confirming the location of themselves and others, they checked with each other and found that the path in front probably led to the stairs in this corner. They didn't need to go to such trouble, but the construction of the nine mausoleums was a secret within the Augustus family. With the destruction of the angels and the entire royal family, the design plans were also missing. Members of MI9 could only rely on the confessions and memories of different people who had participated in the construction and supervision of the mausoleum to reluctantly piece together a map of Mausoleum No. 1.

"Hey." The officer was about to move forward when he suddenly heard a team member at the end say, "There is something here..."

He touched the hard and smooth thing on his hand that was tightly attached to the wall, suspecting that this was the original location of the candlestick on the wall of the mausoleum. With the dim light coming from the cave above his head, he could see clearly that it was a brass-colored metal piece attached to the wall.

The metal piece is oval in shape, with two pointed corners, a circle in the middle that is just tangent to the upper and lower sides, and a thin vertical ellipse in the middle.

This piece of metal was originally covered with a layer of dark red soil, but the member's footing happened to be right next to it. With a slight turn, a part of the soil on it was wiped away, revealing the true appearance behind it. When he touched it, he inadvertently wiped away some of the remaining red soil, so that he noticed the reflection of the brass.

"What's this?"

This thing looked less and less like the back of a candlestick, and several people around it also looked over. The officer was far away, and there were five or six people crowded in the middle. He didn't know what was going on, so he frowned and whispered: "Move forward as quickly as possible, don't waste time in unimportant places."

"Sir, there is a totem with unknown meaning here."

Someone said: "We have never seen a symbol like this, whether it is a righteous god or a hidden existence."

"...This thing seems to be an eye?" the MI9 member stroking the metal piece said doubtfully, "The eye is a bit similar to the symbol of the Hidden Sage, but now the Church of the Mysterious God has revised the holy emblem and pattern. Zhang, why is there..."

Before he finished speaking, an inconspicuous light suddenly shot out of his brass eyes, falling right on his head.

In the blink of an eye, this extraordinary person's body began to collapse from the head down, and all the tissues and parts were uniformly drawn into granular spiritual particles. In less than a blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's eyes. .

Not even the clothes were left.

After a very short period of silence, everyone present immediately reacted. Although the members of MI9 have basically experienced strict selection and various dangerous missions, the scene of a companion being erased without any resistance still made their hair stand on end.

The leader who witnessed all this was immediately frightened. He suddenly remembered that brass is now an important ceremonial metal of the Church of Thunder. It can be used as one of the ritual props pointing to the God of Thunder like the original silver and tin. However, the God of Thunder's The holy symbol does not depict eyes, but only a white tower standing high above the sea, surrounded by thunder and storms.

In the flash of lightning, he suddenly realized something. Without hesitation, he took the glowing seal and went directly into the narrow tunnel in front. His actions gave an effective guide to the people behind him, and the others immediately followed suit. Regardless of whether the tunnel would collapse or whether there would be other dangers inside, they all rushed in one after another.

One of the people ran a little slower, and another light emitted from the brass-colored eye sculpture touched the corner of his clothes, and he instantly dissipated into the air like the member just now.

Everyone else has already run into the tunnel, and their brass eyes are shining into the tunnel, but the straight light cannot go deep when it reaches the dark tunnel. Instead, it twists and turns away as if it is refracted by an invisible mirror. .

After several attempts, the brass eyes stopped trying and gradually disappeared on the wall, not knowing where they went.

boom!

The sound of shattering stones was heard, and a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket suddenly struck the ruins above the mausoleum floor. A large amount of gravel and broken bricks splashed, and the gap above the head suddenly collapsed, leaving no space in the entire mausoleum again.

…

After entering the mausoleum in desperation, everyone in MI9 suddenly realized that the inside of the tunnel was actually much wider than the outside. Although there are rugged rocks above the head, there is no need to bend down to walk.

At the same time, the tunnel does not seem to go completely downward. It looks straight from the outside, but in fact it feels like it is going up and down. It is obviously a spiraling downward structure, but the people walking in the front But you can always see the last person, it seems to be a straight road.

"distortion?"

"The space here should be distorted..."

The commander realized that something was wrong here. However, no matter how weird and terrifying the high-sequence power appeared in the adjacent pathway at this moment, it would only make them, the MI9 people, excited. Under the top-down influence of gods and sequences, they had completely forgotten their grief for the two companions who had died unexpectedly just now, and couldn't help but speed up their pace, almost wanting to run in the narrow tunnel.

Just then, a drop of water fell on the officer's head.

Then more and more rainwater seeped in from the top of the tunnel. Originally, he thought that the rain on the mausoleum became heavier, causing the rainwater to seep into the inside of the mausoleum. But after a while, he felt something was wrong. The rainwater seemed to be gradually changing. The surrounding environment - the tunnel suddenly became cramped, and the water under their feet rose rapidly in a very short period of time. It seemed that in a short time, it spread from a thin layer to the height of their ankles, constantly It seeped through the gaps in the leather boots, making everyone feel cold in the blink of an eye.

The water is still rising, and the tunnel is getting lower and lower, making people breathless. A dangerous thought comes to everyone's mind:

They'll drown here in the rising rain!

"The authority of MI9 was seized again and again by the Church of Thunder. When they were about to lose even the legal principles and the power to supervise searches, they finally decided to risk entering the emperor's tomb to seek help from the gods in their path."

"To this end, they took risks to find the cooperation of the demon family, planned the explosion, and pretended to show favor to the Thunder Church."

"It's just that Hvin Rambis of the Psychological Alchemy Society suddenly lost control, causing an accident. They originally only planned to cause an explosion, allowing the nobles to use their personal safety to create public opinion, and use the situation to cause social chaos, but they did not expect There is a demigod of the 'audience' path hidden in tonight's banquet. Unfortunately, there is no other being of the same sequence present who can stop him. He went crazy under the influence of the unknown, slaughtered everyone present, and hid in In a safe house in the East District, trying to contact high-ranking people in Intis for help.”

"The Harvest Church was completely destroyed in the flames. The fire burned all the way to the surrounding houses and quickly spread towards the east end."

In a room where no one is allowed to enter, there is a wooden table made of solid wood that looks square and has beautiful hollow carvings. A quill pen is quickly writing on the thread-bound white paper book placed on the table. With.

On the table are also placed an inkstone, a writing brush, a pen holder made of ceramics, painted with blue patterns and fired, and other items with a strong Western Continental style. It seems that the presence of the quill is very inconsistent, but it also has a kind of An eerie sense of harmony.

The Demon of Knowledge's face at this moment is that of a middle-aged man with gray hair. He still maintains the identity and appearance of "Yang Mo", but his age is different from usual.

He held two carved wooden balls in his hand, with his eyes half-open, looking at the "pen of Alsuhod" and writing rapidly.

On the other side of the table, there is a silver mirror with complicated patterns.

The mirror faced the notebook that 0-08 was writing, but not a single word appeared on it.

"...Hvin Rambis's mental state was abnormal. He thought his mental abnormality was eliminated, but in fact it was not. In the jurisdiction of the God of Thunder, his prayers were naturally not answered, which seemed to make him Once again, he was plunged into rage and frenzy.”

"At this time, Backlund's leader Raydal Valentine is focusing on confronting Emlyn White of the Harvest Church, who broke into Raydal because of the burning of the Harvest Church and the casualties of the surrounding people. ·Valentin’s residence requires explanation.”

"When a young and energetic demigod came to visit directly and forcefully, regardless of social etiquette and the relationship between the church, words lost their effect. Faced with the furious extraordinary people of the same sequence and the favored ones of the friendly church, this man The head of the parish had to choose to appease the other party, so he could not worry about what was happening inside the city and asked his subordinates to deal with the gas explosion in the Viscount's mansion."

"Of course, people in the church know the reason why they skipped the search and rescue and went directly to the aftermath."

The Demon of Knowledge laughed.

"Such things happen everywhere." He sighed softly.

"Under various emergencies, although MI9's actions lacked strategy and were not perfect, tonight's infiltration activity was carried out based on simple interests and a pious stance towards God, but it still distracted Lei Lei and others to a certain extent. The demigod attention of the Church of Truth.”

"Even though they were ill-prepared, they decided to take the risk and infiltrate."

"More than ten minutes were wasted just looking for the entrance. The search, rescue and aftermath of the Viscount's Mansion was coming to an end. When they realized that they had been delayed for too long, they had no choice but to ask for help. In (blacked out person's name) With help, they successfully entered the tomb - it's incredible, they should have returned in vain or been burned to charcoal by the heavenly fire brought by the thunder."

"..."

"The good times didn't last long. The God of Thunder soon noticed their infiltration. Although the mausoleum has become the emperor's kingdom, he still has many ways to kill a few ordinary people who broke into the mausoleum."

"The tunnel was pressed to a height of less than fifty centimeters. Their faces were forced to touch the water, and they were about to drown in the rainwater accumulated on the ground."

"The rain is still rising, and the rain near Mausoleum No. 1 has exceeded Loen's rainfall in a whole year!"

0-08 Just as he was about to continue writing, the demon of knowledge stretched out his hand.

He rolled up his sleeve with one hand, picked up 0-08 with the other hand, dipped it into the inkstone a few times in a ceremonial manner, and then wrote square characters one by one in the notebook.

"But it's not enough to kill them because the tunnel has come to an end."

"Perhaps, they themselves don't know what they can do. However, the Emperor is looking forward to the arrival of outsiders and communicating with the world inside and outside, so they still have a great chance of going to Him alive."
