The figure in the door became clearer and clearer. Both her clothes and movements perfectly matched the image of the mother in Tianyang's mind.
Except for Nan Fei's face which was still hidden in the shadow inside the door, Tian Yang could already feel her gentle and expectant gaze, falling gently on his face like the March sunshine.
The longing in my heart was ignited all of a sudden, and my emotions were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, galloping freely in the fields.
Reason and wisdom became extremely weak at this moment, so weak that he could not notice this obviously unreasonable phenomenon. The boy let his emotions drive his body and moved step by step towards the door.
Suddenly, there was a thunderbolt in his mind, as if a strong electric current directly hit his brain, causing Tianyang to cry out in pain. Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly. When he shook his head and raised his head again, there was no mother in the door.
Yes, there is only a malicious black shadow.
"Tianyang!"
Xun's voice came from behind.
Tianyang turned around, and the girl's body was flowing with a sacred light. She looked panicked: "Can you hear my voice? I have called you many times, but you turned a deaf ear. Look quickly, what's wrong with everyone?"
The young man then realized that everyone was in a trance, slowly walking towards the flesh and blood door. It seemed that something in the door was attracting them, and their faces had different expressions.
Han Shu's eyes were red, Qian Hong looked excited, Kun Lan was grinning, Mu Qing looked pious...
Tianyang looked towards the gate suddenly, then took out a "Hellfire" grenade from his waist bag and threw it hard.
The grenade fell accurately into the door.
A moment later, there was a loud explosion inside the door, and a large ball of flames burst out from the door. A sharp cry could be vaguely heard in the flames...
After the explosion, everyone seemed to have woken up from a sweet dream. Their faces changed, and they looked around in confusion.
"What happened?" Han Shu touched the corner of his eye, "I seemed to have had a dream just now."
Xun narrated what had just happened.
Mu Qing was terrified. "It's a dream demon. This kind of demon itself is not very aggressive, but it can dig out the secrets in our hearts and create illusions to lure us. Often when we realize it, we have already fallen into the trap, and when we wake up, it is the time of death."
Han Shu gasped: "This time it's really thanks to Tianyang, otherwise, we might have met with an accident now."
Tianyang laughed awkwardly. He had just fallen into an illusion. If it weren't for the sudden headache, he would not have been able to "wake up".
The only one who was completely unaffected was Xun. Guanghui was naturally able to resist most dark abilities, so even the abilities of the black people in the cracks did not affect her.
It’s just that Xun’s rank is too low, so he is not affected, but he can’t wake up everyone else.
Fortunately, I woke up in time and killed the Dream Demon in the door with a hellfire, thus preventing everyone from falling into the trap.
"Now... "
Han Shu was about to ask everyone to disperse and look for clues, but Yan Bing behind him called out softly: "Look, something seems to be coming out of the door!"
In the Gate of Flesh and Blood, after the previous explosion, there was still thick smoke pouring out. Now, the thick smoke stopped pouring out at some point, and all that poured out of the gate was black.
The darkness, which was even darker than the darkest night, was rapidly invading the space in the hall at a speed that seemed slow but was actually swift.
The darkness was like a tide and fog, invading the hall and swallowing up everything.
"Spread it out first!" Han Shu made a prompt decision and turned around and left.
But they found that the door through which everyone came in had been closed at some point.
"It's too late!" Tianyang shouted.
The speed of darkness' invasion increased suddenly, and the light from the flares on the dome of the hall had been completely swallowed up.
Even the silver light from the church's astral illuminations could not stop the pace of darkness. Blackness gently and firmly spread over the barriers of order, submerging the illusory walls one by one.
Everyone could only gather together. Tianyang took off the death knell and fired a shot at the incoming darkness.
The thunderous sound of the gunshots just started, then quickly faded, as if the darkness could swallow up even the sound. As for the silver torrent that shot out from the muzzle of the gun, it was like a drop in the ocean, without even a wave.
Tianyang looked extremely bad.
Several priests were already kneeling on the ground, constantly waving the holy emblem of the Lord of War, praying for protection.
However, darkness ignored their prayers and surged in, drowning everyone...
black!
There is no other color in the field of vision except black.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Tianyang can still feel the existence of his body.
But he couldn't feel anyone else. Of course, at this time, the boy couldn't even see where his hands were.
He finally experienced what it felt like to be a blind man.
After an unknown amount of time, Tianyang began to see some light. The light was very faint, like the stars in the dark night. The starlight quickly grew stronger, and after a moment, Tianyang was able to see again.
Looking around, the boy found that he seemed to be in a maintenance passage of the base. The passage was deep, three meters wide and no more than four meters high.
The top and walls of the passage were covered with cables and wire ducts. The ground was paved with steel plates, which squeaked when walked on, as if there was nothing underneath.
The strange thing is that every three to five meters in this passage, there will be a patch of colorful spots. They look like some kind of mold, but Tianyang instinctively feels that those patches are dangerous and it is best not to touch them.
"It seems we have been pulled into a gap..."
Mu Qing's voice came from behind him. Tianyang turned around and saw that behind the maintenance passage, besides the female priest, there was also Pastor Chen and three city guardian warriors.
As for the others, I didn't see any.
Tianyang drew out the golden wind and tapped the wall gently. From the sound coming from the wall, it can be judged that it is a concrete structure.
It’s a physical building!
"Will there be any physical buildings in the cracks?" Tianyang asked a question.
Mu Qing shook her head: "I don't know. This is also my first time entering the inner gap. But one thing is certain, we haven't completely entered the gap world yet. We should still be in a corner of the base, but this also shows one thing."
"The gap has begun to expand, and it is quietly swallowing up this base. Otherwise, we wouldn't have suddenly 'jumped' from the hall to this passage."
Mu Qing pointed to a colorful patch not far away and said, "See? That's the real gap space. They are like windows opened by the gap world in the world. We fell into this passage through such a window."
“Don’t touch it, be careful not to fall in. No one knows what the consequences will be. Will you fall into another part of the base, or fall deep into the cracks and get lost forever.”
"Are you planning to separate us and defeat us one by one?"
Tianyang already smelled the trap.
"Priest Mu Qing, do you have any suggestions?"
In this situation, as the priest of the Church of the Lord of War, Mu Qing should have the most say.
Tianyang had zero knowledge of the gap, but the boy still had this self-awareness.
Mu Qing smiled bitterly: "My understanding of the gap comes from the Church's Book of Secret Covenants, which is not much better than yours. If you ask for advice, we only have one choice now."
"Either move forward or move back. In short, staying where you are is definitely not a good idea."
Tian Yang immediately decided: "Let's explore forward. I'll lead the way, you and Pastor Chen will be in the middle, and the church warriors will be in the back. Everyone be careful."
No one agreed with his proposal, so the team started moving forward.
"Priest Mu Qing, when we entered the crack space that day, we found a huge corpse. Do you know what that is?" Tianyang asked casually as he walked forward.
Maybe because Mu Qing was also very nervous and wanted to distract herself. Or maybe there were no "outsiders" here, so the female priest answered very straightforwardly: "If there is no accident, it should be a "skin bag."
Pastor Chen raised his eyebrows and said softly: "Priest Mu Qing, these things..."
"It doesn't matter."
Mu Qing had a faint smile on her face inside the helmet: "Now we are in the same boat with the Night Walker, so we should stick together. So some information can be revealed to them."
"Besides, this lieutenant is a believer of the church and is taking the Templar assessment."
Only then did Pastor Chen feel relieved.
Mu Qing continued, "You also saw the invisible worshippers in the hall. Those dark people were holding a ritual. I am not in a position to reveal the details. All I can say now is that the ritual will create a body."
"What is the function of the skin?" Tianyang did not intend to miss the opportunity to learn about the knowledge in the cracks.
Mu Qing said frankly: "The skin is prepared for 'God'."
Tian Yang was stunned: "God? You mean, the black people also have faith?"
Mu Qing nodded and carefully jumped over a colorful spot on the ground: "Yes, the old black people usually believed in a certain god. Of course, the so-called gods are different from what we understand."
"I have said before that the Old Black People were created, so the god they believe in is their creator."
"The old black people believed that their gods could descend in the form of skins. However, the skin you found must be a failure, otherwise you wouldn't be able to talk to me here now."
Tian Yang nodded: "Indeed, Mr. Yun Yuan said at the time that the corpse had been entered by a cold will full of destructive desire. Fortunately, he had a few trump cards, otherwise, all of us would probably die."
"What!"
Mu Qing suddenly stopped and exchanged glances with Pastor Chen: "Did that body ever have a will?"
Tian Yang was puzzled and asked, “What’s the problem?”
Mu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, things are not that simple. My original thought was that the skin was a failure. But if there was a will in it, then it seems that it is not a complete failure."
"At least, the god of the old black people, or part of that god, once stayed in the skin for a short time."
"In this case, that will should still be in the gap. The reason why we were not killed by the creatures in the gap and were now pulled into the inner gap is probably because that will did it on purpose."
Tian Yang was startled, and then he thought of a terrible thing: "Could it be that the thing wants to find a suitable 'skin' among us?"
