Dead? No way back
How could he be so sure? It seemed that Mu Qing still had some reservations.
Tian Yang made a judgment secretly and was not surprised by this conclusion. He used the black fog to continue playing the role of a 'spy'.
"Pastor He, you don't have to be too depressed. Didn't Priest Mu Qing just say that as long as we close the crack in the door, we can go back." Pastor Chen comforted his colleague.
"That's easy to say. It's OK for other people, but Pastor Chen, don't you know that the door between the cracks is not so easy to close?"
Priest He looked around, then looked at the worshippers in front of the black iron platform: "Look at those invisible worshippers. What are they doing here? They are clearly performing a 'ritual'."
After hearing what he said, Pastor Chen couldn't help but look at the worshippers. Tian Yang heard him swallow his saliva, and then said: "I know what you are worried about. You are worried that those things have already created a 'skin'. But you have also read the report from the hall. At that time, they had already found a 'skin' in the crack, and the skin was only a huge crystal skeleton."
Crystal skeleton
Tianyang's heart moved. Could it be that the so-called "skin" refers to the giant skeleton found in the crack space at that time? Tianyang still remembered that the predecessor of that thing was a human, Lin Yu, a medical officer in the Beidou base.
He was bewitched by the black people and cultivated into a huge body. There was also a message from Lin Yu in the crack hall. Tianyang still remembered clearly that those words in the reverse world recorded a strange thing. Lin Yu was a container.
Those black folks from the grave are going to put something into him!
Pastor He's voice continued to ring out: "That is not a skin, or rather, it is a failed skin. We have examined the skeleton and found no 'divinity' left on it. In other words, it is not the 'holy relic' we imagined, which is why we have this action today!"
"But that thing was indeed prepared for the thing in the tomb. So I guess that the pilgrims who created the skin bag at that time did summon the thing in the tomb. Even if it was not a complete one, at least a part of it was separated and then put into the skin bag."
"But they failed, and the contents of the skin escaped. That's why the skin doesn't have any 'divinity' and can't become a 'holy relic'!"
Pastor Chen took a deep breath and said, "According to what you said, could it be that the door between the cracks is related to the things in the skin?"
Pastor He said in a voice that sounded a little tearful: "That must be the case. Otherwise, there is no way to explain how Yan Mo broke through the deep space. That thing must have hidden in the gap, so it opened a gap for Yan Mo!"
"what are you guys saying!"
Suddenly, Mu Qing's voice rang out.
The two priests quickly shut their mouths and stammered to evade the question.
Being interrupted by Mu Qing, the two priests naturally did not continue. Tianyang secretly said it was a pity and ended his monitoring of them.
The boy then recalled that Yun Yuan had said that when they were sweeping the gap, the "skin" was occupied by a will. That will was emotionless and extremely cold, just a pure will of destruction that wanted to destroy all life.
Now combined with the words of the two priests, it sounds like the will described by Yun Yuan should be the "thing in the skin". And this thing may be the demon in the "grave" mentioned by the Beidou base personnel.
At least, it's part of the devil.
It seems that the demon in the tomb has no entity, but a will. Or, it can exist in a form similar to energy. Otherwise, how can it transcend distance and space and "descend" directly from the tomb to the Beidou base
From this it can be further deduced that the Church has a detailed understanding of the grave, the devil, and the skin.
Tianyang took out a kettle and continued thinking while drinking water.
The church should also be looking for the "grave", which was vaguely revealed in their conversation yesterday. However, they should not know the location of the grave yet, otherwise no one would have guessed yesterday that the gap hall under the Beidou base was a grave.
If that's the case, the space in the tomb should also be a gap, otherwise, the church staff would not say that.
The cracks, the graves, the demons, the skins, the dusk slabs, the divinity, the holy relics... The Church of the Lord of War alone holds so many secrets.
I can't believe how many secrets of the world of rebellion the four major churches have mastered... .
Twenty minutes passed quickly. Han Shu threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it with his foot, and said, "Let's go, Priest Mu Qing, we have to find that damn door."
The priestess in the helmet looked towards the door on the west side of the hall: "I hope it is behind that door."
Han Shu simply shouted, "Open the door!"
The two soldiers were about to go over and open the door, but Yan Bing stopped them: "I'll do it."
In fact, it was the Queen who contracted the work.
It used its two mechanical legs to push open the door. Just as the door was slowly opening, Pastor He shouted and suddenly ran towards the entrance of the hall.
"Tianyang!" Han Shu shouted.
Tianyang's figure became blurred, and when it completely disappeared, the young man had already appeared in front of Pastor He and grabbed him.
Han Shu walked over cursing, "Why are you running? Stop causing trouble for me now!"
Pastor He shouted in panic: "I don't want to go in! I don't want to go in!"
Han Shu squatted down, holding his helmet with both hands, his face almost touching the mask: "Tell me, what's inside."
"Captain Han."
Mu Qing came over: "Can you hand him over to me?"
Han Shu raised his head and said, "Priest Mu Qing, you are not keeping anything?"
Mu Qing's expression was calm: "I have told you everything I can and should say. Besides, we are all in the same boat now. It is not appropriate to be suspicious of each other at this time, right?"
Han Shu snorted and let go of Pastor He: "Watch out for your people and don't affect us!"
Mu Qing bowed slightly towards Han Shu's back, then looked at Priest He and said softly, "Calm down, Priest He. The Lord is with us, don't forget our teachings. It is shameful to be a deserter on the battlefield. As a believer of the Lord of War, have you lost the most basic courage?"
Pastor He gasped for breath and looked at Mu Qing, his emotions gradually calming down.
He struggled to get up and apologized, "I lost my composure."
Mu Qing's smile was like a warm spring breeze: "It's okay, can you walk? If you need help, please let me know."
Pastor He shook his head: "It's okay, I can walk by myself."
"Then go ahead."
The door leading to the gap has been completely opened, and the world inside the door is, as expected, immersed in darkness.
Yan Bing controlled the Queen and released a reconnaissance unit into the door. After a moment, Yan Bing nodded: "The signal is normal, there is nothing abnormal in the door."
"Flare!" Han Shu pointed towards the door.
Two flares were fired in, and the light quickly brightened, allowing people to see a wider space.
The hall in the gate was no different from what Tianyang saw last time. Black columns supported the dome, and the bone hills in the hall were still there. It seemed that the fortress did not move these things away. They were probably not of much value, so they were left to scholars to study.
The platform at the end was still there, but the crystal skeleton on it and the large number of corpses on the stone steps were gone. Tianyang didn't know if it was an illusion, but after standing outside the door and watching for a long time, he always felt that the hall inside was slightly expanding and contracting.
"Everyone be careful."
Han Shu reminded them and was the first to enter the hall. The captain casually released the "Barrier of Order". Virtual walls rose and arched around the team, giving the entire space a sense of stability.
Tianyang keenly noticed that within the scope of the order barrier, the expansion and contraction of space disappeared.
The team filed in, and after entering the hall, they deployed a defensive formation.
"Look over there!"
Kun Lan exclaimed softly, pointing to the platform at the end of the hall. Next to the huge black iron seat, there was a large door.
This is an arched door, with two doors tightly closed. I don't know what the door is made of, and the colors are strange. There is bright red, and there is greasy white. The two colors are matched together, and from a distance, the door seems to be built of flesh and blood.
Han Shu asked in a deep voice: "Priest Mu Qing, is this the damn door?"
"Unfortunately, that is not a gap door. It is just a consumable built by the Aphid Demon to maintain the stability of the 'channel'." Mu Qing shook her head, and the content of her words was a bit depressing.
Consumables? What are the consumables
Suddenly, Tianyang thought of the people who were eaten by the aphid demon. They all turned into mummies, and their flesh and blood went into the aphid demon's stomach. But the aphid demon's body shape did not change significantly, so where did the flesh and blood go? Could it be... Tianyang shuddered in his heart.
Mu Qing added: "The Crack Door is just a term we came up with for the convenience of explanation. In fact, the Crack Door does not necessarily exist in the form of a door. It is just a medium, a medium that connects two spaces."
"It can be a dead object or a living thing. It can be a sword or just an embroidery needle. Its appearance is not important, what is important is its essence."
Han Shu was a little mad. "According to what you said, we have to pry out every brick and tile of this hall for inspection. Otherwise, God knows which one is the so-called gap door you mentioned!"
Mu Qing said softly, "It doesn't have to be that complicated. Yama will definitely try their best to protect the gate. Once we get close to something and a large number of Yama suddenly appear, then it will be the crack in the gate."
Han Shu then breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the two doors of the flesh and blood door on the high platform in the distance slowly opened.
However, the door was not opened very far, and as the distance was far, Han Shu and the others did not notice it.
Just then, Tianyang suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Tianyang, Tianyang, is that you?"
The boy's heart trembled.
This is the voice of mother!
Nan Fei's voice came from the door of flesh and blood. Tian Yang couldn't help but look towards the door, as if he saw a figure standing in the shadow of the door.
"Child, I miss you so much, come to me soon."
The whispers in the door were like a sweet dream, which Tianyang fell into defenselessly. The young man lifted his feet involuntarily and walked towards the door.
At the same time, in the wilderness of consciousness, the obsidian furnace suddenly ignited with fire. Above the wilderness, thunder and lightning flashed, as if the gods were angry... ...
