We have arrived at the Crack Hall.
The passage that could only accommodate one person before has been expanded and reinforced. Vehicles cannot pass through, but three or five people can still squeeze in together.
This width makes it convenient to carry in some equipment and devices. Even large equipment can be disassembled into components and then assembled after being moved into the hall.
Now, the hall was naturally dark. In order to prevent accidents, such as Yama hiding in the passage and ambushing, Han Shu first placed two flares in the hall.
After the hall was brightly lit and he confirmed that there were no enemies, Han Shu entered the hall with a shield.
Others passed through one after another.
The hall remained the same as before, with a flat floor paved with square stone slabs.
The towering columns stand quietly in the darkness like ancient totems. When the lights illuminate them, the eyeballs above the columns look down at everyone indifferently.
The most eye-catching thing is, of course, the platform above the ground deep in the hall. After all, there is a black iron high-back chair placed there. It is obviously not an iron chair prepared for humans. The star pattern on the back of the chair reminds people of the eternal universe.
The armrests of the iron chair, those indescribable creatures, seemed to come alive at any time. Staring at them for a long time, people could feel a strange atmosphere.
Especially the base of the chair, the skulls of countless creatures, created a horrifying "landscape".
Qianhong was fine, but both girls, Xiaoniao and Xun, couldn't help but take a step back.
Everyone held their breath.
Except for Tianyang and Kunlan, everyone else was entering this hall for the first time. So they were shocked by the grandeur and weirdness of the hall, which Tianyang could fully understand.
The young man silently studied the expressions of the crowd. Han Shu and the others were in a daze. Han Shu opened his mouth slightly, looking up at the high-back chair prepared for the inhuman creature.
As for the church and others, besides being shocked, there was another look in their eyes.
happy!
It was like discovering a treasure, and I couldn't contain my joy!
Pastor Chen even knelt on the ground, made church gestures with his hands in front of his chest, and muttered something.
Mu Qing seemed quite calm, only trembling slightly at the beginning, but she managed to control herself well. She even felt Tianyang's gaze, turned her head, and blinked at Tianyang with both eyes in the helmet.
It was not until Han Shu coughed dryly that everyone came to their senses.
"Set up defense lines and establish alerts."
Han Shu gave quick orders and the soldiers dispersed. The Flame Soldiers also underwent some manipulation, and the Queen released the reconnaissance units and defense units.
Tianyang pointed to a metal door on the west side of the hall and said, "Go in there and you'll find yourself in a crack. I don't recommend you go in there unless it's necessary."
Since the Yama came from the gap, maybe the gate has become their lair. Without full preparation, it is better not to take risks lightly.
Soon, the Queen's defense units were spread all around the hall. Once an attack occurred, they would be able to activate high-energy cutting rays just like last time.
The reconnaissance units were dispersed, covering the hall and the outside, monitoring the area. If there was any movement, the Flame Soldiers would be notified.
As everyone was busy setting up a defense line, the priest Chen exclaimed: "It's them! The invisible worshippers! A 'ritual' was held here, here..."
"Pastor Chen!"
Mu Qing's soft shout brought Pastor Chen, who had been so excited that he forgot everything else, back to his senses. He quickly controlled himself and apologized softly.
Then, several priests came to the front of the platform quickly, and they knelt down one by one.
On the ground, in front of the 'person' who was worshipping towards the platform.
One priest was so excited that he cried, but he was still restrained and did not shout like Priest Chen.
He just knelt beside them and exclaimed softly, "Indeed, they are invisible pilgrims. I never thought that I would be able to see these 'pilgrims' in my lifetime."
Pilgrims
Tianyang looked at the platform and at the iron seat prepared for some kind of existence.
Is the thing that these people worship called "holy"
Tian Yang thought for a moment and walked to Mu Qing's side: "Priest Mu Qing, what are the Invisible Worshipers? Are they also a kind of the Old Ones?"
Probably because Tianyang is a believer of the church, and has signed up for the "Templar" assessment. So for the church, he is half a member of the church.
Mu Qing tilted her head, glanced at Tianyang through her helmet, and said softly, "It seems that Lieutenant Tianyang is also very knowledgeable about the black people."
Tian Yang shook his head and laughed: "Priest, please don't make fun of me. I am not really a researcher. I just know a little bit. Compared to the information the church has, what I know is nothing."
Mu Qing smiled faintly: "In that case, I wonder if the lieutenant knows what is the difference between the old black people and other black people?"
Tian Yang thought for a moment and said, "A friend of mine once said that the old black people are the black people who have stopped evolving, unlike other dark people who keep pace with the times."
Mu Qing agreed and said, "Your friend is right, but the Old Dark People did not stop evolving. Rather, from the very beginning, they and other dark people were two completely different types."
Tian Yang was stunned for a moment: "There are different types of black people?"
Mu Qing laughed, "Why not? Take us humans for example. We have different skin colors. Why can't the black people do that? In fact, as far as we know, the black people in the Reverse Realm can be roughly divided into three types: the Black People of the Reverse Realm, the Black People of the Old Days, and the Black People in the Cracks."
“Among them, the old black people were artificially created.”
Tianyang's heart skipped a beat.
Artificially made!
He immediately thought of Zi Chen.
It was indeed as Mu Qing said. At that time, the humans in the base used the Purple Star Orb to transform themselves into Abyss Knights or Abyss Followers.
So, there are many similar gems, and each type of gem is specifically designed to create a type of Old One
“This, this is shocking. Does the Church know what kind of existence created the Old Blacks?” Tian Yang went straight to the core of the problem.
Mu Qing looked at the big black iron chair and asked, "Who do you think those invisible worshippers are worshipping?"
Tianyang's body shook slightly.
Who are you worshipping
Nature is their God!
Their holy!
Their creator!
Gurgle.
Tianyang heard the sound of his Adam's apple rolling. The information the church holds is indeed a lot and very profound!
The boy moved his lips and was about to ask the next question.
Mu Qing stretched out a finger and gently pressed it on Tianyang's lips. The priestess smiled in her helmet and said, "Don't look too deeply. Many troubles in the world are caused by digging too deep and not finding the truth."
"I suppose the Lieutenant doesn't want to worry?"
It’s because I don’t have the authority to know.
Over there, a priest had already called Mu Qing over.
"Excuse me."
The priestess spoke softly, and moved closer to the invisible worshippers.
now.
Outside the hall, a reconnaissance unit was climbing up a broken beam. Silently, behind it, a lavender light quietly opened.
From that ray of light, several segmented tentacles that flickered with cool fluorescent light floated out.
They suddenly passed through the reconnaissance unit, and the body of the reconnaissance unit instantly shattered.
In the hall, Yan Bing immediately received a report of the damage. He raised his wrist armor and looked at the control screen. The signals representing the reconnaissance units disappeared one by one.
Yan Bing's face changed, and he immediately warned: "There are enemies! There are enemies outside the hall!"
All those disappearing signals came from outside the hall. In the darkness outside the hall, a little bit of purple, red, blue, cold light like ice chips lit up.
"Everyone, retreat, form a defensive formation, and prepare to engage the enemy!"
Han Shu roared, and the star energy appeared.
"Yanbing, what are those things coming? How many are there!"
The captain took out the mechanical shield and walked to the front of the formation without hesitation, facing the entrance of the passage.
Yan Bing activated the cutting beam of the defense unit and arranged the queen at the same time, then walked back: "I don't know, all the reconnaissance units outside were killed, and I didn't even see a hair of the enemy."
"Damn it."
Han Shu snorted, mobilized the star energy and activated his ability.
Illusionary walls rose up around the crowd. Just in case, Han Shu took out his strongest defense, the Barrier of Order.
At this moment, Tianyang suddenly found that there were dots of light floating in front of his eyes. After these lights entered his body, he felt a sense of peace and calm.
This is
The young man looked back and saw Xun who was in the formation, with star energy flickering around him and his class emblem shining brightly.
Suddenly, she remembered that Xun once said that her Level 3 ability could calm the mind and fight against darkness.
It seems that the fluorescent light that penetrated into the body is Xun's ability.
"coming!"
Yanbing shouted and stared at his screen, where the signal at the edge of the passage entrance also disappeared.
The next moment, streaks of purple light appeared in the space around the hall, and tentacles flashing with fluorescence poked out from the light.
It was as if a hole was cut in the space, and things from another space were jumping into the hall through the hole.
Mu Qing exclaimed softly: "Be careful, that's the Phantom Demon. These things are mages and assassins. They can hide in the shallow space and cross the space at any time!"
Han Shu roared, "Can't you just tell us all the information at once? You have to tell us a little at a time like squeezing toothpaste!"
Mu Qing smiled bitterly in her helmet.
A space crack appeared near the Storm Army soldier. The fluorescent tentacles that emerged from the crack suddenly wrapped around the soldier and pulled him into the shallow space.
Almost at the same time, another ray of light opened at the far end of the hall, and a body was thrown out from it.
The bodies of soldiers.
The soldier had been cut into several pieces, the pieces fell to the ground, blood flowed and spread all around...
Tianyang snorted, raised the Deathstroke, and recharged the pistol. A silver torrent spurted out from the rough muzzle.
The torrent crashed into a crack, disintegrating the tentacles that had just emerged from the crack, and then a woman's scream was heard from the crack.
The scream seemed to be a signal for an attack. Immediately, a roar sounded from the darkness outside the passage, and a dark shadow suddenly rushed in, crashing into the cutting light of the defense unit...
