The two continued to move forward in the passage.

There are many guards along the way, and they also meet other "people" along the way.

These people also look the same as the previous priests, with more or less alienation in their bodies.

But without exception, they don't seem to have the ability to think.

It seems that everyone has become a tireless patrol machine, wandering this murky subterranean day after day.

They drove out intruders and defended the altar that belonged to Sarah.

Xiao Lan felt that it was difficult to say whether these "people" could be considered living people.

Along the way, just from the appearance, there are several people without mouths and noses. If normal people have died like this, they can still act, which is very unscientific.

After a long period of training and fighting, Xiao Lan's movements have become extremely fast. He quietly avoided these guards who were not very alert. Before they could react, they went away like a breeze.

Luo was like his shadow, silently following behind Xiao Lan.

In this way, they quietly moved forward in this underground passage full of strange guards.

The two have been walking in the passage for a while.

The inside of the passage is curved, and there seems to be a random feeling of thinking about where to dig, which makes people almost lose their way.

Fortunately, this passage was dug in a hurry, there were no forks in it, and the progress was fairly smooth.

Soon, they came to an open area.

Xiao Lan noticed that there were a lot of white debris under his feet, and he was about to bend over to pick it up and take a look.

Luo reached out his hand to stop him, and the shadow wrote in the void: [These are human bones]

Xiao Lan looked at the bone fragments that spread out in this place.

This... how many people died? What happened to make these bones so broken?

Before they could study it carefully, there was a rustling sound not far away.

This sound is like the footsteps of the guards have heard before, but the difference is that this time there are many sounds, densely overlapping, mixed with the echoes in the passage, and the scalp is tingling.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two quickly found a sunken stone wall and hid in it.

There is a large rock nearby, which can block the view from the front.

To avoid being discovered, Xiao Lan also turned off the [Nuclear Flashlight] by the way.

Without the flashlight, only the sporadic light emitted by some plants in the tunnel can illuminate, making everything in the line of sight blurred and even more eerie.

The space behind the stone wall was limited, so Xiao Lan could only crouch down and put her back on Luo's body.

He could clearly perceive the breath and heartbeat of the other party's imitation of human beings, and he could also feel the heat and muscle lines from Luo's body.

Suddenly, Xiao Lan felt his shoulders sink.

He turned his head slightly, and he could see Luo's very close face.

Although the light is extremely weak, with the excellent eyesight of an advanced player, this face is still as handsome in Xiao Lan's eyes as it has always been, and even because the light is different, there is still a strange feeling, like a ghost coming out of the night.

Luo felt Xiao Lan's gaze, turned his head and smiled slightly at him, and said with his mouth: What's the matter? gentlemen.

Xiao Lan, who was bent at a right angle, suddenly felt her heart beat a little faster.

He looked away a little uncomfortably, shit, this guy is cheating.

The non-human who learned a lot of skills from the world did not stop there. He chased after Xiao Lan when he turned his head, and a kiss fell on Xiao Lan's cheek.

Facing Xiao Lan's eyes, "Fuck you, you can kiss in this environment".

Luo raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand in front of his lips and made a shush gesture, with an elegant and reserved face, as if the person who just made trouble was not him.

Sure enough, thick-skinned is the only truth running rampant in the world.

A certain non-human praised human wisdom in his heart, and felt that he had to learn more from humans.

Unfortunately, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer interrupted the somewhat charming atmosphere between the two.

Gradually, the source of the sound appeared in their field of vision.

Both were distracted.

It was a dense group of figures, perhaps hundreds of people, including men and women, with different ages.

It can be roughly distinguished that some of the clothes on their bodies are the styles of priests and nuns, and some are ordinary styles.

The styles of these people's clothes look old.

However, these were not too different from the guards in the other passages.

Their expressions were still numb, their movements were stiff and eccentric, and their limbs had various disabilities and alienations.

So many people came, but not a word was spoken.

The most special is the one who took the lead. He looked the least human, and the clothes left on his body looked the most gorgeous, like the bishop's uniform.

He still seems to have a little bit of consciousness left, and he can even command the rest.

Xiao Lan guessed that maybe these were the people who participated in the sacrifice in the small town of Mona back then.

Something happened to them after they went underground to hold sacrifices that made them into this eccentric state, lingering here and refusing others to enter.

The crowd gathered in this open area, and in front of them was an open space, with no traces of idols or altars.

Everyone raised their hands stiffly and began to bow down mechanically.

Their movements are almost the same, as if they were programmed uniformly.

Xiao Lan observed their movements.

Suddenly, he found that the positions of these people were a bit strange.

They seemed to be standing according to a certain pattern, but there were some strange openings in them, as if there should have been people there, but those people were absent.

He had seen several places as far as he could see, and he did.

There are many vacancies in the neat queue.

Where have all these people gone?

Xiao Lan couldn't help but fall on the bone fragments on the ground.

He remembered that one of the documents he obtained said that two private detectives hired by Mr. B died of cannibalism.

Could it be that the bones on the ground were caused by these kneeling people?

If so, it could also explain why the bones are so broken.

After killing some of their compatriots, these people probably often come here to kneel and worship, and it is naturally impossible for their bones to remain intact under their years of trampling.

How cruel and numb is this?

What kind of existence have these people who were influenced by Sarah's song become?

Are they...really human?

The kneeling of the crowd continued.

Suddenly, the bishop who took the lead had already stood up.

He left the crowd alone and walked in the other direction.

There was still a monotonous sound of kneeling and rubbing clothes. The others seemed to be used to his actions and didn't respond to it.

Xiao Lan and Luo Zheng were about to get up and chase after them.

Suddenly, Xiao Lan heard a subtle voice that could not be traced behind him.

His movements stopped, and he turned to look at Luo, who also nodded to him, apparently both of them heard the voice.

Xiao Lan stared at the darkness behind him.

A human face hung upside down and slowly fell from above.

The face was withered and wrinkled, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken, like a black hole.

His mouth opened, and a long, root-like tongue protruded from it. This tongue danced like a snake and looked very strange.

On the other side, his body seemed to grow in the wall, and his lower body almost melted into the stone wall.

I don't know when he appeared here, but he didn't let the two people who were sensitive in front notice the slightest abnormality.

Seeing the two find themselves, the man hanging upside down grows his mouth and seems to be screaming to warn the companions outside.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan flew forward instantly, and at the same time the [Bone of Rebellion] in his hand appeared instantly and swung towards the opponent.

Before the Hanged Man's voice could be heard, a stick suddenly landed on his head.

This sap is extremely skilled and decisive, full of professionalism and craftsmanship, and can be regarded as a model of behavior in the sap industry.

The Hanged Man's body slid off the wall and was caught with one hand by Luo who had been prepared before landing.

Luo skillfully pulled his tongue like roots, trapping his body firmly, like a pharaoh, unable to move at all even if he was awake.

After tying up, Luo manipulated the shadow to dig a hole beside him, put the tied person in, and filled it with soil, allowing him to experience the high standard of a professional funeral team in one step. Serve.

After doing all this, a thin layer of black shadow appeared on Luo's hand, wiping away the dirt.

The whole process was only fleeting, and with the cooperation of Xiao Lan and Luo, the volume was kept to a minimum.

The long-term cooperation has made the two of them full of tacit understanding, and they can complete the right cooperation without prior communication.

After cleaning up this sudden episode, the two sneaked out from behind the stone wall.

The kneeling crowd was still repeating their stiff movements, unaware of what had just happened.

The two cautiously walked past their outer circle, in the direction where the bishop disappeared.

The passage that the bishop walked was narrower than before, and the ground was also paved with slate, which looked a little more refined.

It should be quite important to explain where this channel is connected.

Not long after walking, another open space appeared.

This place is smaller than the area where people kneel before, and a very simple altar is built with stones in the middle.

The stones that made up the altar seemed to have black marks that could not be removed, and they flowed all the way to the surrounding ground.

Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, Xiao Lan speculated based on what he had seen before that it might be blood that had already dried up.

He looked around quietly, and there were a lot of blood splatters on the ground and walls. It's not hard to imagine how bloody and crazy the picture must have been back then.

This is probably the altar mentioned in the data.

The bishop was standing alone on the altar, dancing and performing a silent ceremony.

His movements looked crazy, and with his limbs like tree roots and a face like bark, he looked more like a monster than a human, but he was actually a human originally.

The bishop changed his movements and just turned his back to the two of them.

With his movements, the torn clothes on his back floated up.

It was only then that Xiao Lan discovered that there was a huge hollow behind him.

This guy should be dead already!

Maybe even the "people" outside are the same. Without food and water, it is impossible for people to survive.

They are simply a bunch of living dead.

Maybe they all died in the sacrifice 30 years ago, but some of the corpses acted again due to the influence of Sarah, and they were as crazy as they were before, insisting on killing Sarah day after day. belief.

Suddenly, Xiao Lan's eyes were drawn to the stones at the Bishop's feet.

In a room with only a little light from plants, some stones flashed red light from time to time as if breathing. The light was very weak, but it became a bit conspicuous against the background.

Xiao Lan was about to give Luo a signal, but the bishop who was obsessed with the ceremony turned his head suddenly.

Seemingly sensing something, his face like an old tree bark turned straight in the direction of Xiao Lan and the two of them, and red light shone from his empty eye sockets.

was discovered.

For a moment, this thought flashed through Xiao Lan's mind.

At the same time as the bishop raised his rooted hand, the [Bone of Rebellion] in his hand had instantly switched to a blade.

Xiao Lan rushed out without hesitation, and pointed the blade directly at the bishop.

"Luo, clear the field." Xiao Lan said softly.

"Okay, sir." Luo replied with a smile.

At the same moment, a dark shadow spread out from under Luo's feet.

It instantly filled the space where the entire altar was located, like a black cage, sealing everything in it.

This is Luo's new ability after absorbing more body fragments. It can temporarily block a space, so that the prey inside cannot escape, and the movement generated by the battle will not be transmitted.

Xiao Lan's blade has been swung towards the bishop.

The bishop's attack was not weak at all. The roots that suddenly attacked were as hard as steel, and the speed was so fast that it even made a sharp air-breaking sound.

While Xiao Lan dodged and dodged, he mercilessly slashed at the attacking roots.

"Ding"

The roots and the blade collided, but there was a sound like metal clashing.

But although the roots are hard, they are still unable to resist the edge of the [Bone of Rebellion].

After a bang, the roots were cut off with a knife, and the cut part fell to the ground, immediately began to corrode, and gave off an unpleasant smell.

The bishop opened his mouth and roared, his voice was hoarse and not human-like.

But the part of him that was cut off grew again.

Stimulated by the injury, he seemed to feel anger, and more roots rushed towards Xiao Lan violently.

The attack was even more violent, but Xiao Lan was able to dodge in it with ease, like a phantom.

"It's regenerative again, I hate your unscientific existence." Xiao Lan said, the sharp blade in her hand moved faster.

He also activated the skills:

[Name: Poverty cannot limit my imagination]

[Ability: Flame Manipulation]

After the skill has been upgraded to level 5, the flames that Xiao Lan can control are also different.

It is now a fire that is close to white but incomparably hot, and its power is stronger than the previous Dalit flame.

A ray of light flashed across the blade, and a smear of flame also adhered to it.

The fiery flames fell on the bishop again with the incomparably sharp blade.

The plant-like tentacles immediately burned in the face of the flames, and the fire spread wildly along his dry body at a very fast speed.

At the same time, Xiao Lan's slashing didn't stop, the pitch-black sword light continued to fall along with the fiery flames.

Each knife cut off a lot of his roots, and added another to the already fast-growing fire.

Soon the bishop was almost a fireball.

But he still tried to drag Xiao Lan to death.

A lot of burning roots suddenly sprang from his limbs, and these roots all rushed in Xiao Lan's direction, ready to wrap him up.

However, Xiao Lan nimbly avoided the roots he was trying to grab onto himself, and then adjusted his steps, stood behind the bishop, and raised the knife again.

After the dark sword glow passed.

The flaming head flew up, and after drawing an arc in the air, it crashed to the ground.

Immediately, the body devoured by the flame also fell down, raising a place of dust.

Soon, both the head and the body were swallowed up by the high-temperature flames and burned violently.

The system prompt appears:

"You killed Jack Manson"

This is probably the bishop's name during his lifetime, but unfortunately this name has no meaning to him.

Xiao Lan put away the knife and turned off the skill.

He pointed to the burning bishop, turned around and asked Luo, "Can you eat this? BBQ flavor."

Luo seemed to be used to his boyfriend's unreasonable playing cards. He smiled and said, "I'm a picky eater, sir."
