Chapter 519 Found you!
It was already dark, and the whole city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. The cool autumn wind made the alleys in the darkness even more desolate.
The road in this alley is simply sprinkled with gravel, and turbid water remains from time to time, but this is nothing to Li Si.
He now has dark vision and can see clearly even without light.
Although he seemed to be wandering around, Li Si kept using his mental power to explore the surrounding environment, especially the underground areas.
The advanced earth element affinity specialty allows his mental power to easily pass through the soil with almost no loss.
The evil god''s believer''s stronghold is most likely still in an underground secret room somewhere.
Judging from the information he just learned from talking to the clergy of the Church of the Passion God, if there is only one follower of the evil god, Li Si guessed that it is very likely that the follower of the evil **** would pray to the evil **** for power through a life sacrifice ceremony.
After all, there is only one person on the other side, so hiding yourself is fine, but trying to do something big in secret is too much.
The followers of the evil **** are just reckless, not idiots.
Naturally, it is impossible to think about destroying the entire Cuifeng City despite the huge disparity in power between the Kingdom and the Church of the Gods.
Where will it be hidden?
Li Si wandered around the quiet and deserted streets casually, mentally searching every place around him.
According to the information in hand, people have disappeared recently, but perhaps because the authorities and extraordinary professionals from the church have noticed and started investigating, the number of missing people has been much higher than before.
But it doesn''t end!
In other words, the evil **** believer did not stop his sacrificial behavior, and did not give up even in the face of such an intense search.
It shows that the evil believer who caused trouble in Wright Street is very crazy. He dares to deal with the clergy of the Church of Gods like this alone.
At the same time, it also shows that this evil **** believer is quite confident in his ability to hide his whereabouts.
This is indeed the case. It has been a week since many residents were found missing in Wright Street, and the Church of the Suffering God has been involved in the investigation for several days.
Except for the two basements where life-sacrifice rituals took place, there are no more valuable tablets.
Even the traces of the sacrifice directed to the evil **** were erased. This evil **** believer was quite cautious.
He is so confident in himself, but he carefully erases any traces, not wanting the Church of the Gods to discover the evil **** he believes in.
It seems that the object of the other party''s sacrifice is quite important!
Li Si tried his best to deduce the thoughts of the evil **** believer based on the information he already had, and slowly he felt some connections.
There was no way, he had experienced too many similar things in his previous life.
Although I had never heard of what happened in Cuifeng City in my previous life, I thought that the followers of the evil **** had similar behavior styles.
Li Si groped for the traces of wind and rain on the surrounding walls, but his mind was running rapidly.
It is very possible that the two discovered basements and the traces of the life-sacrifice ritual were deliberately discovered by the cult of the gods by the evil believer.
Why would he do this?
To divert attention?
If those basements were prepared in advance by the followers of the evil god, it means that the followers of the evil **** are quite capable and well prepared.
Is it related to that evil god?
Li Si was a little unsure and shook his head slightly.
There are too many possibilities and we need to change the direction.
After countless years of tit-for-tat, the churches of the gods and the followers of the evil **** actually understand each other quite well.
Despite the vigorous pursuit by the Church of the Suffering God, the truth has never been revealed, and the sacrificial ceremony is even continuing. The secret ability of the evil believer is quite powerful.
Although Cuifeng City is considered an important trade hub of the Kingdom of Gordon, the power of the Church of the Gods here will not be greatly strengthened.
At least, the legendary combat power of the Church of Gods will not exist in Cuifeng City.
Similarly, the evil **** believer should also be a gold-level existence.
No matter how strong you are, there is no need to perform the life sacrifice ceremony in such a secretive way.
If it were even weaker, it would be impossible to hide for too long under the search of the gold-level professionals of the Church of the Suffering God.
Even so, it was quite difficult to hide for so long.
Among the many special abilities, some do exactly that.
Spatial abilities, shadow powers, illusions, and more.
In this case, the evil **** believer probably used the two abandoned basements to cover up his real hiding method.
In this case, it is very unfortunate!
Li Si clapped his hands, full of energy.
He is good at all these methods.
And he is more confident than that evil **** believer!
Let’s do it! Let’s do it!
In the secret room,
Brett Costello casually threw the two girls in simple clothes at his feet and sat on the ground casually.
In this dark basement, dirty blood that was almost integrated with the darkness flowed quietly on the cold ground, and the foul smell of blood filled the small secret room.
The runes composed of dark gray lines on the wall were like eyes hidden in the darkness, flashing slightly and exuding a chilling aura.
They seemed to have an extreme thirst for life and blood, like a hungry beast staring greedily at the two unconscious girls on the ground.
There is also a suffocating malice permeating the air, which seems to emanate from the dirty blood and dark gray runes, intertwining with each other to form an indescribable terror.
Brett didn''t care at all about this unbearable environment for ordinary people, and even enjoyed himself a little.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, watching the dirty blood on the ground turn into blood snakes, wrapping around the two girls, greedily sucking the life force.
"It''s a bit troublesome~"
Brett frowned slightly and shook his head.
Before, everything went as he planned. He could sense that two of the three secret rooms arranged in advance had been discovered, and the clergy of the Church of the Gods did not become suspicious.
At least, the other party is still far away from finding him now.
But again, he also encountered a problem.
That is how determined these clerics are to track him down.
"Damn the Church of the Passion of God!"
Brett''s somewhat old face showed a trace of anger, and he said angrily.
He could foresee that with so many residents in the Wright neighborhood of Cuifeng City missing, the Church of the Gods would definitely take them very seriously.
But I really didn’t expect that the Church of the Suffering God would pay such attention to it.
There are three gold-level professionals in the Church of the Passion God in Cuifeng City. They are the gold-level priest Zolf who is a bishop, and two gold-level paladins. Now these three gold-level priests are all staying in Wright Street, leading the team to search for his traces.
Although the arrangements were made in advance so that this secret room would not be discovered in a short period of time, the decision of the Church of the Suffering God also made Brett cautious when going out, for fear of being discovered by the other party.
It is also because of this that Brett''s control speed of taking away residents has dropped significantly. The ceremony that could have been completed in half a month may even be delayed to a month under the current situation.
The longer time passes, the more dangerous the situation becomes!
"Damn it!"
"Aren''t you afraid that I will attack the cathedral?"
Brett stared at the two girls who were gradually being devoured in front of him, and cursed with some annoyance.
Generally speaking, even if it is to attack the believers of evil gods, it is impossible for the churches of the gods to mobilize in their entirety.
After all, if the church as its foundation is attacked or even destroyed, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the prestige of the church.
But the Church of the Suffering God is like this, otherwise it would not be respected by so many people.
For Brett, it is quite helpless to encounter a church that does not follow common sense like the Church of the Suffering God.
As for attacking the church of the Church of the Passion of God, Brett could only think about it.
You don''t need to guess to know that it is one of the most heavily guarded places in the church. At least with his strength, it is basically impossible to break through it in a short time.
As long as the gold-level priest comes back, Brett won''t be able to leave even if he wants to.
"Just wait, wait until I break through and become a legend, and then I can settle this account with you."
After much thought, Brett gave up the idea of ??risking other methods.
In a tightly arranged secret room, it is undoubtedly the safest.
The longer it takes to collect the sacrifices, the longer it will take. If you act rashly and are discovered by the priests, you will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Brett raised his head habitually and murmured to himself piously:
"My Lord Mask, I, the humble believer, offer you my most sincere prayer~
You are the supreme being walking on the edge of light and darkness, leading us through the curtain of dark night with endless wisdom~
You cover my whereabouts and help me avoid the enemy’s eyes and ears ~
Under your guidance, we look for treasures in the dark and steal what we want silently~
My lord Mask~
You are the protector of thieves and the king of shadows~
I implore you to grant me more powerful power. May your divine power be with me and bear witness to my loyalty and faith in you~
My lord Mask~
May your shadowy gaze always shine on my path forward!
willing."
Just when Brett was praying regularly, something happened suddenly.
A dull roar broke the dead silence, and the entire ceiling of the secret room seemed to be gently lifted by invisible hands, revealing the starry night sky above.
The darkness that originally shrouded the secret room instantly dissipated, and the sparse starlight fell like fine silver sand into the claustrophobic space.
This sudden light not only dispelled the haze in the room, but also ruthlessly exposed everything hidden in the secret room.
In Brett''s shocked eyes, a gorgeously dressed young man holding a staff exuding magic aura was floating in mid-air looking down at him.
"Found you!"
Li Si looked at the small secret room below and breathed a sigh of relief.
All the hard work in the middle of the night was not in vain!
The scene in the secret room in front of me is shocking, and the strong smell of blood seems to solidify into substance.
On the ground, mottled bloodstains intertwined into shocking scenes, telling the horror that had happened here. Under the illumination of the stars, the **** and tragic scenes are invisible, and every detail is clearly outlined, which is enough to make ordinary people go crazy in an instant.
This sudden change made this secret room seem to be instantly pulled back to the real world from a forgotten corner.
Noticing the strange dark gray lines on the wall of the secret room and the terrifying deep aura, Li Si understood.
Mask, the God of Thieves!
It turned out to be this believer.
Mask, the God of Thieves, is a very ancient **** with weak divine power. His clerical fields are [Shadow], [Thief] and [Stealing]. He also has the titles of [King of Shadows] and [Lord of Thieves]. .
Mask is a confident and scheming **** who likes to plan all kinds of secret conspiracies, although his plans always put himself in dangerous situations.
Mask, the **** of thieves, is both alert and cold. He never loses control of his emotions and always speaks with sarcasm and ridicule. Mask''s appearance is always changing, so no one has ever known his true face. He most often wears a pair of bronze armor and cloak that completely obscure his appearance.
Mask''s penchant for intrigue and theft not only cost him many allies, but also much of his power.
During a great turmoil in the world of Gaia, the King of Shadows disguised himself as a god-killing sword, and Cyric, who was still a mortal at the time, used this sword to kill Baal, the **** of murder at the time.
Afterwards, He betrayed the phantom goddess Leila to Cyric, allowing her to obtain the [Phantom] priesthood. But when Cyric discovered all this, Mask was counterattacked by the complex conspiracy he planned. This mistake almost destroyed him, allowing Cyric to take away his most important [Conspiracy] priesthood.
In a sense, Mask, the **** of thieves, played a crucial role in the rise of [Prince of Lies] Cyric.
What a wretched old man!
From then on, Mask hated Cyric for taking away his priesthood, and he was always planning to take back what originally belonged to him.
But Cyric has become a powerful being, and Mask can only try his best to hide himself and accumulate strength.
Although he has lost the [Conspiracy] priesthood, Mask, who has the [Shadow] priesthood, is still powerful in some aspects.
As his believer, no wonder he could hide so well and completely avoid the search of the Church of Gods.
Moreover, the hiding place of the evil **** believer in front of him is not within the scope of Wright Street, but in the neighboring Hart Street.
Li Si tried his best and used various methods and methods to confirm that it was impossible for anyone in Wright Street to hide through the power of space, shadow, illusion, etc., and then tried to explore other areas.
Unexpectedly, he was very lucky and soon found Brett who was praying to the God of Thieves.
Hearing Li Si''s voice, Brett''s brain was instantly confused.
How is it possible, how could someone find him here?
Brett couldn''t believe that this was a shelter he had built with the power given by the gods. The young man in front of him was definitely not a legend. How did he find this place?
The moment he was discovered, Brett knew that his plan had completely failed.
The most important thing is to hold back the crazy anger in your heart and leave quickly.
Otherwise, if the hounds of the Church of the Suffering God catch up later, we will be in big trouble!
"I don''t know how you found this place though."
Brett slowly pulled out a dagger that shone with cold light. The dark gray shadow power gradually spread throughout the dagger, and the originally sharp dagger seemed to disappear into the night without a trace.
He stared at Li Si in mid-air and said in a deep voice:
"He''s just a mage. If you leave now, it''s still too late!"
Li Si smiled and looked down at Brett, whose momentum was rising. He looked a bit scary in the pool of blood.
"That''s it"
"Then I really want to try it!"
