"How could it be such a coincidence that it collapsed just when I was about to leave?"
While coughing, Xia De stood up with the help of the door, confirming that the road he came from had really collapsed. He couldn't help but feel confused.
But thinking in his mind, there seemed to be some coincidences tonight, which led him to come straight to this subway door from Sophia's mansion. For example, in the tavern, he heard the conversation of the professors through three magics and thus directly learned more secrets.
"Damn it, is it the Puppet Master's Notes that brought me here? But last time it was luck that night, this time it seems to just provide me with the convenience to get here."
But there was no other choice. She could stay where she was and wait for the witch to rescue her. After all, the witch would not want her ring. But the problem was that the passage still had the possibility of collapse, and this possibility was very high. Shade could not stay where she was and wait to be buried alive.
"I have no choice but to open the door. I still have a drop of divinity in me... I shouldn't be that unlucky."
He got up helplessly and patted the dust off his body. Looking inside through the gap in the iron door, it was pitch black inside. Even the silver light from his fingertips could not illuminate the thick darkness inside.
Shad put his hand on the door, and as the ring lit up, his palm rotated slightly until the spell could no longer be used and the door was opened.
He took two steps back, but nothing came out from behind. So Xia De pushed the door, and it made an unusually loud "creaking" sound. At the same time that his hair stood on end, this gentle push actually pushed the door completely open.
He used clothes to turn the big book in his hand into a toy and carried it with him. Then the light from his left hand illuminated the front, and his right hand drew the moonlight sword from the air, and Shade stepped into the darkness behind the door.
Although it is impossible to illuminate the inside of the door from outside, once you enter, the silver light from your fingertips can illuminate the entire space.
Behind the door was not a long and narrow passage, but a small square dark room. In the middle of the dark room was a pool that occupied three quarters of the entire space, and on the other side of the pool was an iron door that was exactly the same as the door that Shade had opened.
Xia De stood at the door and didn't dare to move forward. As soon as he entered here, the voice in his ear reminded him that the rich whispering element was in this dark room.
There was a faint light in the dark room, and the light came from the gurgling pool, as if there was not only a spring under the pool, but also a light source that could emit light.
Xia De stood there not daring to move. He clearly felt that there was something in the dark room, something that was targeting him.
He couldn't describe the feeling more accurately, but the feeling at this moment was more terrifying than the spider crawling up his neck not long ago.
His hair stood up slightly, and he felt panicked and wanted to turn around and run. But there was a dead end only a few meters long behind him, so turning around and running was meaningless.
At this moment, in the pool with a strange blue and white light, with the sound of splashing water, a smooth arm stretched out. The skin was so delicate, and the palm and arm were so attractive. Even the foreigner who always claimed to be able to reasonably control his desires could hardly control the urge to go forward and check.
"oh!"
A short blade of light appeared at his fingertips, and Shade slashed his arm. The pain immediately suppressed the strange impulse. Although it hurt, it was worth it.
The landslide outside was still going on, and he could no longer retreat. The arm that stretched out of the water was dancing gently above the pool, and the palm seemed to have no bones, making strange movements and gestures, but it just prevented Xia De, who was at the door, from seeing the shoulder and body.
The arm slid across the water, and the sound of water was unusually obvious in the quiet space. At the same time, a strange fragrance gradually spread. If this scene had not happened in a sealed dark room underground, it would probably have given Xia De many beautiful imaginations.
But at this moment, he just wanted to leave here, away from that beautiful hand, away from this pool. Whatever this relic was, it was definitely not a good thing.
“Hehe~”
Laughter came from the pool. It was a woman's laughter, like the sound of silver bells refreshing the heart, or like a cold drink in the hot summer that cheers people up.
The laughter appeared intermittently, and gradually there was a sense of charm in the sound. Although Shade had never come into contact with such a sound, it was undoubtedly a sound that aroused the primitive desires of human beings.
However, compared to the arm that could dance gracefully on the water, this sound had no appeal to Shade.
After all, being accustomed to the laughter of women, other laughter seemed too common to Xia De.
Should I thank you for the compliment
"You have time to make fun of me, why don't you help me think about what to do now."
Xia De held the door frame tightly with one hand, and the veins on his arm were exposed. He was not nervous, but he could not control the urge to move forward.
It’s very simple. Don’t you have the scriptures of the cult on you
Xia De suddenly realized what was going on, and hurriedly restored the book, and then looked for records about this thing. However, the abominable cultists did not compile a catalog for their religious books, so Xia De could only flip through the pages one by one, and was forced to read those evil and terrible knowledge.
This book has more than 200 pages.
There was a splash, which startled Xia De. He looked up and saw that the dancing hand had retracted back under the water. Instead, a woman's leg stretched out from the water. He could only see the leg, but not the rest of the body. The toes painted with red nail polish were slightly curled up, and the fair skin had a milky sheen.
Xia De had to admit that he was really moved at this moment.
"You actually use this kind of thing to test a foreigner like me."
Although his heart was beating, he still held on to the door frame tightly. If there was any advantage in Xia De, he thought he had strong self-control.
"Can't these damn fishmen write a summary at the beginning of each chapter and a summary at the end?"
In his heart, he denounced the fishman who had no academic spirit at all, and tried his best not to look up.
However, the sound of the woman's legs teasing the water surface really made him think of many images. Even if he blocked his ears with cloth, the sound still entered his ears unhindered.
The woman's laughter and the sound of playing in the water continued to tickle Xia De's nerves, making him want to look up or move forward.
“This is…”
Fortunately, the content in the book in his hand temporarily attracted all of Xia De's attention. He did not find any information about the creatures in the pool, but saw the record about the "golden pearl".
This record, together with the Scarlet Cult's rituals of worshipping evil gods, tells the story of the evil gods descending into the material world in ancient times in the tone of religious mythology.
The fishmen built a huge temple for the gods in the fishmen's city in the abyss of the sea. The saint occupied the body of a giant mermaid, spread terrible knowledge to the believers in the temple, and accepted bloody sacrifices.
Before the god left, in order to reward the piety of his believers, he killed half of the population of the merman race at that time, and used those tears of joy, bliss, fear and pain to make a golden pearl to hold the power he bestowed on the merman race.
