The chairs beside the table were scattered, and two of them even fell sideways on the ground. In front of the main seat of the table stood a three-meter-high cross, and the white wood was stained with bloodstains. These bloodstains looked very fresh.
Jenkins bent down, picked up the three items under his feet, put two rings on his left and right hands respectively, and pinned the brass-colored cylinder around his waist, and then walked towards the cross.
The blood on it was real, and Jenkins could even smell the strong smell of blood.
Turned around in this small space to confirm that there were no important clues missed, and then walked to the door.
This is a stone gate, almost integrated with the wall. After pushing it open with great effort, there is a quiet and narrow corridor outside the door, the walls are all made of rough stones.
There was also no light here, only a row of blood-stained footprints extending to the corridor to the right of the door.
In this dim environment, releasing light is equivalent to telling the enemy your position. Jenkins had just retracted the starlight ball and was thinking about where to go when he heard a voice from the corridor on the left.
This is not the sound of footsteps, but the sound caused by someone moving quickly in a closed room and rubbing against the still air. It was only in such a quiet basement that one could hear such a sound when holding one's breath.
Jenkins took a step back and hid behind Shimen. A few seconds later, he saw a man in a black robe running in.
Through the fluorescence of the disgusting green plants like moss on the wall, Jenkins saw the appearance of the person coming.
It's standard attire for Gem Party attendees, as Jenkins is now. The reason why there is no sound of footsteps is because the projection form cannot interfere with matter, but the existing form can squeeze the air. The specific judgment Jenkins is not clear, after all, he is not an expert in this field.
The black-robed man stood at the stone gate without moving for a long time. Just when Jenkins thought that the mysterious man was standing unconscious, he suddenly took a step forward and fell down in front of the cross.
"What's going on here?"
It was a woman's voice, quite young. It sounded familiar, and it should have been spoken at the last meeting, but Jenkins' memory has not found her for the time being.
"Why can't I go back..."
A low murmur came into his ears, with some confusion and bewilderment.
Some kind of gem party was going on when Constantine went wrong. At that time, the other two benefactors of the Orthodox Church were there. One of them was attacked by the spirit, and his body died on the spot; the other sacrificed himself at the cost of his life to pass the news here, so Jenkins only appeared here now.
However, he just found out that other people could not go back.
"Maybe, I can ask about the current situation. Maybe she knows how to get outside."
Standing behind the door, Jenkins thought so, coughing deliberately in order not to scare her.
The woman's specific movements could not be seen in the dimly lit room, but after the cough disappeared, the basement fell into an awkward silence.
Jenkins held his breath subconsciously, and when he was about to suffocate, the young woman began to speak:
"who?"
Her voice trembled, but she was still frightened.
"Am I that scary?"
Jenkins, who was hiding behind the door and wearing a hood, thought so, and coughed again:
"here."
He took a step, and at the same time summoned a starlight ball to illuminate the space again, "It's me, Mr. Zircon."
Maybe it was the light that gave her courage, and the woman also stood up, but instead of approaching, she nodded cautiously: "Hello, I am Alexandrite."
"Oh, the lady who provided information about the 'Genesis Tablet'."
Jenkins thought so, seeing that she was still cautious, so he let the starlight ball fly to the center of the two of them, and asked again: "Miss, you should be able to see that I can use the ability now, and I can also touch the floor. The sound of footsteps means that I am here in the flesh. Although I will encounter more danger than your situation, it means that the possibility of my escaping here is greater than yours... "
"Sir, what do you want to know?"
Her tone returned to normal, and she is definitely not a fool to be a gifter.
"I want to know, what's the situation outside? Where is Mr. Constantine now?"
He commanded the ball of light to move circularly around the edge of the basement, in order to determine whether there was any hidden information here.
"You have to answer me a question first. Why did you find me here?"
The woman took a step closer as a gesture of friendliness. Although she is immune to physical and most non-physical damage in the projection state, since her consciousness is here, it is still very easy to hurt her.
"She is an illegal giver and will not trust the Orthodox Church, so..."
"Mr. Constantine is a Level 8 Gifter. I was very interested in his method of calling gatherings, so I found this place through divination."
"Are you also an eighth grade?"
she sneered.
"No, but there are some things that are more terrifying than level 8?"
This sentence is true, such as false gods who are not online.
The woman thought about it and agreed with Jenkins. In her current state, most of her abilities cannot be used, and she must find someone to cooperate if she wants to escape.
The woman nodded but didn't take off her hood. She asked Jenkins to stop the ball of light, which was too dazzling, before explaining:
"A total of 11 party participants were stranded here, and now 7 are dead, two were captured by Constantine, and the other escaped with me, but disappeared. I was the only one who came back here Now... here is the basement of a castle, very close to the ground, but above our heads... "
She stretched out her white hand and pointed upwards.
At the same time, Jenkins narrowed his eyes.
"I can't see it very clearly, but the skin on the hand is delicate, and no calluses have been found... No, there is a piece on the side of the middle finger. Is it because I often use a pen?"
"The top of our heads is not an ordinary layer of soil, but a rock layer, which cannot be penetrated unless we have special abilities. Now Mr. Constantine is missing, but I just tried to go up through the stairs. As long as I get out of the scope of the party and the projection disappears, I will Can go back. But was forced back by Constantine, he is no longer human... "
Her voice became smaller and smaller, because outside the stone gate, there was a strange sound, like the sound of a long snake's belly rubbing against the ground.
The two held their breath at the same time, and after a long time, the voice slowly disappeared. Jenkins felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, but it was just a feeling, he didn't have this function now.
