Start Cthulhu with priest

Entering the crack, one can clearly feel that the ground has a downward slope.

This means that this crack leads deep underground.

Combined with the pictures he saw before, An Le had some speculations in his mind.

Soon, he also discovered another thing——

As it went deeper into the crack, the strange white mist around it gradually dissipated, until it disappeared completely.

An Le discovered long ago that this white mist is not like mist in reality, but a form of liquid, and it is countless small water droplets floating in the air after water vapor condenses when it condenses.

It is an existence completely formed by extraordinary power, and ordinary things cannot block it.

It's like transparent glass can block raindrops, but it can't block sunlight.

Essentially, these are two things that cannot touch each other.

So outside the church, even in some enclosed spaces, the white mist can still be seen.

But right now, the white mist is not so much isolated from the mountain by the bronze, but more like... absorbed by it.

If you take a closer look, you can find that the closer to the crack entrance, the more rust marks on the bronze, and the closer to the inside, the less rust marks.

It is not difficult to guess that this may be a defensive method on the bronze, which seems to have formed a protective layer to resist the erosion of the white mist from deeper.

The depths of the cracks are naturally dark, and there is no light at all.

But because of the existence of Yannv, the raging flames swayed gently, and the fire light illuminated the walls on both sides.

An Le looked up suddenly, and found that at the upper end of the cracked passage, there were several pairs of agate-like red eyes, staring at him coldly.

He didn't respond, but the Yannv Statue was taken aback, and a flame shot straight towards the top of its head.

But in the flames, those scarlet eyes remained motionless.

Not even the intention of running away.

And the flame, which was always invincible, failed to cause any harm after touching their bodies, which surprised even An Le.

But soon, he understood the reason.

Mi said: "Stop it, Yannv."

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a living thing."

Hearing this, Yannv hurriedly stopped the flame output.

Looking carefully, they found that hanging upside down above their heads was a group of bat-like existences.

The reason why it is "similar" is that anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference between them and bats at a glance.

These things are completely hairless, but are covered by a layer of armor-like things, with a scale-like icy color.

The wings are folded together, but more than one pair can be vaguely seen.

Fine sawtooth is attached to that surface.

Compared with bats that belong to mammals, they are more like insects.

The most uncomfortable thing is that if you stare at them for a long time, their shapes seem to squirm and change slightly, like a group of shadows that cannot be seen clearly.

Its shape seems to change due to the observation and imagination of others, thus becoming the most disgusting and terrifying appearance.

But as Mi said, they are not living creatures, but cold, dead statues made of bronze.

Therefore, Yannv's flame couldn't burn them in the first place.

They might have been living things originally, but somehow they became part of the body of the Bronze Mountain. Even after such a long time, they can still give people a sense of danger, which shows how powerful they were before they were alive.

"What a nasty guy."

Yannv muttered softly.

An Le was a little strange, he didn't expect Yannv, who was always fearless, to be afraid of something like this.

'There are indeed many secrets in the Bronze Mountain...'

After walking a certain distance, An Le suddenly thought of something, and stretched out his hand to touch the uncorroded bronze, and immediately felt a warm and cool touch from his fingertips.

It's not as cold as metal should be, but has a little warmth.

There is also an extremely slight sting, like a mosquito bite on the skin.

An Le's expression changed slightly, and he had some guesses in his heart.

He took out a piece of pure white paper from the space relic and placed it on the bronze surface.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, the white paper was stained with a dark green matte color.

An Le's intuition was correct.

This mysterious bronze has the ability of "assimilation", which can transform the things it touches into a part of it.

It is conceivable that the reason why this bronze mountain can have such a huge volume is thanks to this assimilation ability.

Thirty seconds later, this piece of white paper completely turned into a thin piece of bronze, and it seemed to be glued to the surface inside the mountain, gradually blending into it, making it indistinguishable from each other.

Anle pulled it down with a little force.

He looked carefully at the bronze piece of paper, and could see that the structure and material of this piece of paper had undergone earth-shaking changes, and it had completely become another substance.

The texture becomes firm and crisp, with a crisp sound when tapped lightly.

But the strange thing was that after being removed from the wall, it couldn't assimilate the surrounding things again, and An Le's fingertips didn't feel a tingling sensation.

This ability of assimilation seems to only exist on the bronze mountain.

And after leaving this mountain, this ability will be eliminated.

To put it simply, it is impossible to assimilate twice.

If you think about it, if these bronzes can expand without limit, then the area outside the church may have already become a world made of bronze.

There is some kind of connection between this bronze piece and this mountain.

An Le has an intuition that he can use this piece of copper to lock the location of this bronze mountain, so that he can come here faster the next time he goes out to explore.

The depth of the cracks in the mountain was longer than An Le thought.

After walking for tens of minutes, I still haven't seen the end, but the road narrows little by little.

At this point, An Le had to give up and continue to dig deeper.

After all, the time he can stay in this world is limited, and he has to plan in advance the time it will take to return to the church.

An Le turned his head to look at the depths of the deep mountain, and said in his heart: "We will meet again."

*****

at the same time.

Ancient Ruins No. 3 outside the abandoned city.

In order to prevent daring thieves from sneaking in secretly, no one is allowed to live within one kilometer of the ruins, so it looks extraordinarily desolate.

Only the strongholds of the three major companies stationed here are still somewhat popular.

But compared to the living conditions in the abandoned capital, this place can only be described as "difficult".

Uncle Vicissitudes, who was in charge of guarding the place, was wearing the uniform of the Black Mountain Security Company and was sitting in the monitoring room.

While smoking a cigarette, he chatted and farted with his colleagues around him.

"Oh, it's so boring, when will this hell end?"

The three or four men next to the guard were playing cards in a pile, and they responded casually: "Oh, what are you complaining about? Isn't your transfer order coming down soon?"

"Two months at most, and you'll get out of this shitty place."

"Hey, am I lucky?"

The uncle scratched his cheek and said braggingly, "If I hadn't tied up a good woman some time ago and given it to that lord, such a good deed would really not be my turn."

"Brother, how dare this person show off?"

"How to say?"

"Copy guys!"

A bunch of people said they were going to attack him. Of course, this was all a joke.

As fellow sufferers who were dispatched to this ghost place together, the relationship between the few of them is relatively good.

After some squabbling, someone suddenly sighed: "Hey, I've had enough of wanting women without women, wanting wine without wine."

"It would be great if I sent a few big beauties someday."

"Come on, there hasn't been a newcomer to Ruins No. 3 for almost a month. Is the device in this ruins broken?"

The bystanders said quietly: "Who knows?"

"It's so beautiful... It's not our turn, not to mention eating meat, you can't even drink soup."

"Actually, it's not bad to have two handsome brothers."

A big man grinned, showing two rows of white teeth, and the companions next to him shivered, and unconsciously tensed their sphincter muscles.

The big man smiled heartily: "Hey, I was just joking, and you guys take it seriously."

A few handsome young men next to him looked stiff and could not agree.

If you stay in this ghost place for a long time, your mind will become abnormal!

Just when they thought that today would be as meaningless as usual.

Suddenly, there was a piercing beep from the instrument.

"Drip-drip-"

A group of big men quickly gathered around and looked at the video on the monitor.

No one was disturbed or frightened by it, instead all had excitement written all over their faces.

"Finally, is there another unlucky guy coming?"

During the monitoring, in a large space like an altar, the complicated patterns on the ground suddenly lit up, and many nearby stones and rock walls emitted dazzling light.

Mysterious secret power is surging.

The attitude of Waste City towards outsiders can be summed up in four words——

Bully the soft and fear the hard.

Because the geographical location of the ruins is remote, and the time and frequency of outsiders' teleportation are completely random.

It is impossible for them to invest too much power here, and it is undoubtedly a great waste to station high-level combat forces in it for a long time.

As a result, the three major companies have formulated relevant regulations.

The general idea is——

When encountering superhumans or ordinary people who are easy to bully and can be manipulated at will, they will either directly rob them, slaughter them like pigs and sheep, or use them as materials for live experiments.

If they are good-looking men and women, they will be taken away directly and forced to engage in some special industries.

——Whether it is a modern or an abandoned capital, a capitalist who can rise will inevitably step on countless bones under his feet, with blood and dirty things dripping from every pore.

And if it is a powerful enemy that they are difficult to deal with, they will respond with a gentle attitude.

Release good intentions, offer high prices to attract, and drive these people to work for the company.

Fighting and killing is not the only thing in the world of capitalists, how to create the greatest value is the most important thing.

However, most of the time, the outsiders teleported belong to the former. After all, although there are not many transcendents in the stronghold, they are equipped with a lot of advanced thermal weapons. The transcendents who can deal with this kind of force are at least C-level. superior.

This kind of strong man is not the custom (meow) shop that can be seen everywhere in the slums of the abandoned city.

This group of big men now hope that the unlucky guy who is sent here is a woman with average looks and a normal figure. The big people above look down on them, but they are willing to love her.

Oh, not one is not enough.

Under their wish, a woman walked out of the bright light.

The moment they saw her, everyone's hearts jumped.

The woman's face is not very beautiful, it can only be said to be above average, and her figure is average, but she has a unique holy temperament.

That is an existence that should not belong to this abandoned city at all.

And this temperament also makes men more excited.

Who wouldn't want to see a noble and holy woman conquered by herself?

This is similar to conquering princesses, big stars, queens...

Of course, the men in this stronghold have already passed the age of dreaming, and have become realistic and mature. They know that this kind of woman can only meet in dreams.

On the contrary, this relatively ordinary woman is the object they may reach.

Several men looked at each other, their eyes were red like a wolf seeing a little lamb.

It is not too much to say that they are wolves. These people have not touched "meat" for several months, and it is really difficult.

How could they not be moved when they met such a perfect goal this time?

But everyone knows very well that there is a certain number of people who can eat the first bite of meat.

——Even in this kind of place, strength is also the last word.

The big man who spoke earlier licked his lips and said to the uncle not far away.

"Brother, just let me this time, and I'll ask you to pack cigarettes."

"Anyway, you'll be free soon, isn't it a while away?"

They are the only two C-level transcendents on the surface of this stronghold, but they belong to different companies. When the one is silent, they are the bosses here.

The uncle thought for a while, then nodded: "Success."

He was about to be transferred away, but he didn't want to make troubles about this matter.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Only at this moment, the instrument in the monitoring room rang again.

And the sound is harsher than before.

This instrument is a product of the energy company RG, and it can reflect the strength of the extraordinary power during the transmission to a certain extent, so as to judge the strength of the enemy.

Of course, this way of judging is not accurate enough and can only be used as a rough basis.

But at this time, the frequency and volume of the instrument's sound were never heard or seen by the people in the stronghold.

Made them wonder for a moment if it was malfunctioning.

And in the monitoring screen.

More and more brilliant light poured out.

Magnificent, sacred, with an indescribable greatness.

The brilliance, like a wave, drowned all the surveillance cameras.

Those stones and rock walls that seemed to have the function of teleportation also shattered directly after the sudden tremor.

This means that the No. 3 relic has completely lost its original function.

"Crack!"

The glass of the monitoring lens shattered suddenly, the screen went black, and the inside of the ruins could no longer be seen in the monitoring room.

These men sat on the spot, looking at each other, and great panic continued to grow.

"What exactly is going on?"
