Dozens of demon hunters—including the "normal demon hunters" who were captured by the Presbyterian Church into the spirit world clock tower before, and the senior members of the Presbyterian Church themselves - sat neatly on both sides of the long table, motionless, Silent, frozen there like a puppet, the scene was extremely strange. But Andahel turned a blind eye to this scene. She walked into the hall naturally, looked around slowly, and then found a seat at the long table and sat down.
Then nothing happened.
"Are they..." Lily slipped into the hall cautiously, waving her hands in front of the demon hunters who were sitting dumbfounded, but no one responded, "Are they out of their bodies?"
The strange atmosphere at the scene made everyone more vigilant. Hao Ren asked the data terminal to adjust the early warning radar to the most sensitive state, and followed Lily with a long gun tightly. He passed by a demon hunter of the order. This witcher of the order looked quite high-ranking. Not only was his collar decorated with silver trim, but he also had additional heraldic embroidery on the collar and cuffs. Or a mark that only the elders have. The high-ranking witcher lowered his head slightly, and his empty eyes fell on the candlestick not far from the table. Hao Ren reached out and patted his shoulder. The latter shook his body slightly, and seemed to turn his eyes to look at the shoulder. For a moment, but then turned back quickly.
"Their souls seem to be imprisoned in the depths of their consciousness, and their perception is separated from the outside world." The data terminal buzzed and flew around the long table, checking the status of each demon hunter, "Well... there are some other violations, but it will take some time to analyze."
"This is... Elder Luci Vader," Bai Huo came behind Hao Ren, "the high-level trainer of the Presbyterian Order. He is stationed at the Bell Tower of the Spirit World all year round. He is responsible for conveying the instructions of the saints and organizing the seminars for the Holy Demons." .”
"Andahel mentioned the seminar," Hao Ren nodded slightly, "so what are these people doing here—I mean normal things."
"The saints hold the knowledge of ancient times and ancient witchcraft that have been lost. In order to prevent these things from being lost, they want to pass on the knowledge. However, due to the pollution of taboo mysteries, low-level demon hunters will be eroded if they listen to the voice of the saint directly. and curses, so every once in a while the saints will summon the most powerful demon hunters to teach a small amount of knowledge. Then let them pass it on to their apprentices," Bai Huo explained earnestly, "the wisdom of the saints is vast, far away. It exceeds the limit that the brain structure of ordinary creatures can bear, so they will only choose some suitable things to teach to future generations according to their needs, so the seminars are often held."
"So this is the scene of a seminar on holy demons—if everything is normal," Hao Ren said. He wiped it on the long table casually, "Huh?"
He was surprised to find that there was a lot of dust on his fingers, and looking carefully, there was also a thick layer of dust accumulated on the long table.
"The Spirit World Clock Tower was cut off from the outside world just a day ago?" He looked at Yizaks who was not far away.
"That's what the scout reported," Y'zaks nodded, "What did you find?"
Hao Ren pointed to the dust on the table: "According to the density of suspended matter in the air measured by the terminal, it will take at least seven or eight days for the dust to accumulate to this level. Unless no one cleans the house after the Presbyterian Church went mad, the tower will This 'ghost' state of his has probably lasted for more than a week."
Lily blinked: "Many smells on the first floor of the clock tower are 'new', and the room of the gatekeeper of the clock tower is just cleaned up. It doesn't look like it has been left for a long time."
"So did this happen from the second floor..." Hao Ren frowned slightly, looking at the head of the long table, if it was a workshop. Then that place should be that of Saint Bedoulis, but now there is only one empty chair. The leader of the Holy Demon Seminar is not here, and the demon hunters in the room are just "listening to the teaching" in the air, "Saint Bedolis... Andahel still remembers this name in the chaotic state, so this is called What Bedolis said should have something to do with the current situation."
At this time, a demon hunter who was in charge of checking the surroundings suddenly called out: "There is a road here!"
Hao Ren ran over to check the situation, and he saw behind a huge ancient stone sculpture, a hole big enough for two people to pass side by side was cracked in the wall, and a dimly lit corridor was opposite the hole. Elizabeth shook her head and glanced into the corridor: "There seems to be a hall on the opposite side. Where does this lead to?"
Tutan's voice was a little uncertain for the first time: "... now I don't know anymore. The structure of the clock tower in the spirit world has become very strange. In fact, even the room in front of us should not be in this position... these are not in line The path of logic only emerged this time.”
While Tutan was saying this, the little devil Elizabeth had already jumped into the big hole in the wall on her own. Strolling towards the depths of the dark and deep corridor: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't feel any danger~"
"This brat..." Hao Ren muttered. You can only follow quickly.
Tutanin looked back at the dozens of demon hunters who were silent like ghosts on both sides of the long table. He left a few soldiers to look after the situation, and then he took the rest of the people into the room together. into the big hole in the wall.
The interior of the bell tower of the spirit world is completely in disarray, and the forward route he roughly judged before is probably no longer reliable. worth exploring.
Elizabeth held a fireball the size of a washbasin to illuminate and open the way in front of her. The little devil girl didn't think there was anything scary about this eerie place. Y'zaks and Hao Ren were very cautious, paying attention to whether there would be a monster popping out of any corner along the way.
But in the end, the road was uneventful. After passing through a long corridor, what appeared in front of everyone was a place that looked like a large library.
The vast hall stretches out endlessly, and the huge bookshelves are arranged like a towering city wall. On the bookshelves are displayed ancient books and scrolls that have a long history and even surpassed human history. , you can see a lot of stone platforms floating in the air. Tables, chairs, furniture and copying tools are placed on those platforms, which are obviously prepared for the visitors of the library.
Hao Ren and the others entered this majestic place from the gloomy corridor, and they were a little stunned.
"Library?" Tutan was surprised, "...I didn't expect to be connected to this place..."
Vivian asked curiously, "Is there anything special about the library?"
"The library is 'outside' the Spirit World Clock Tower, which is the most unclear space for us. We have tried to draw a structural diagram inside the Spirit World Clock Tower. Although most of the building areas are connected in a strange way, at least they are consistent. It can be roughly placed within the range of the clock tower. Only the library, its entrance will appear between the fourth and tenth floors according to certain rules, and the passage behind each entrance cannot lead to the tower from the spatial structure. One of the facilities in the Netherworld Clock Tower - they will extend straight out of the Netherworld Clocktower, sometimes even a straight corridor for several kilometers. So we always think of the library as a closed space floating outside the Netherworld Clocktower, due to Some kind of mapping law, its entrance is limited to certain floors inside the clock tower. According to the law, the entrance of the library will only appear above the fourth floor, but it popped up here... In other words, even Is there something wrong with this most basic mapping law?"
Tutanyin walked forward while talking about all kinds of secrets about this wonderful large library: "... this room has incredible power. The longer you stay here, the sharper your thinking will be, and you will even be able to understand it." Generate some perception and comprehension ability beyond the physical experience. Before this transcendent perception overwhelms your nervous system, you can easily understand the most difficult arcane knowledge. Therefore, we put the most esoteric books in the Here, only demon hunters above the master level are eligible to read classics in the library, and even a master demon hunter cannot stay here for more than two days."
"I like coming here very much," Bai Huo said softly suddenly, "I'll stay here for a whole day."
Tutan said in passing: "I know you often sneak in comic books to read."
As soon as this remark came out, Hao Ren, Vivian and the others were stunned. They all looked at Bai Huo in disbelief. Lily stared: "You still look at that thing?"
"Can't a demon hunter have some personal hobbies?" Bai Huo turned his head a little embarrassedly, "This is the quietest place in the clock tower of the spirit world, and once I start reading, the mentor won't mutter beside me... "
Tutan shook his head: "If he knew that you put the comics in the Potion Encyclopedia, he would definitely be able to talk about you all day."
What else could Hao Ren say? It can only be said that the life of a witcher in reality is really rich and colorful, and it is not the same style as in fantasy stories...
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure flashing across the bookshelves in the distance. (to be continued~^~)
