Chapter 917 The world in the mirror (repair)
Thanks: Xin Chao Peng Pai, 08a, brother for the reward, thank you Xia Tian, thank you very much.
Everyone walked into the Pentagram Cave, stepped on the wooden spiral staircase without handrails, and went all the way down.
Every step I took made a creaking sound, as if the wooden stairs would break at the next step and fall into the pitch-black, bottomless darkness below.
"oops!"
'Angela''s feet stumbled, and her high heels fell off the mark. Fortunately, 'Constantine' in front of her had quick hands and quick eyes, and turned around to catch her.
'Huang Shaohong' turned around and couldn't help but shake his head. Women are women. Even the police on duty can't suppress their beauty-loving nature. They are still wearing high heels at work.
He asked 'Gabriel' in front:
"Aren't there any lights or anything down here?"
In fact, with Huang Shaohong's eyesight, although it was dark here, it did not bother him at all. The sight was as bright as day, and he could clearly see even the bottom of the seemingly endless darkness at the end of the stairs.
He was asking this for the sake of the guys behind him. At this time, let alone 'Angela', even 'Constantine' could only follow him, groping forward slowly, for fear of falling if he missed the mark.
‘Gabriel’ explained:
"This basement was built ninety years ago. There are no electric lights installed. The lighting is using medieval oil lamps, which are filled with mermaid grease that never dries out, and a fuse mixed with some kind of igniting drug is put in. As long as the door of the basement is opened,
, the light will ignite automatically in a few minutes!”
After hearing what 'Gabriel' said, 'Huang Shaohong' also looked at the surrounding walls, and sure enough he saw ancient wall lamps made of metal and glass on the walls.
He simply asked everyone to wait for a while and wait for the oil lamps to light up before leaving.
'Angela', who had just stood firm, asked 'Gabriel' curiously:
"Mermaids? Are they the mermaids from mythology? They are so beautiful and kind, how could someone be so cruel and use them to make lamp oil?"
'Gabriel' originally maintained a arrogant attitude towards everyone except Huang Shaohong, and was absolutely cold, but maybe it was because 'Angela' had comforted her before, and said with a warm smile:
"You also said it was a legend, so it may not be true!"
"In fact, mermaids are very scary creatures to you humans. They usually transform into beautiful appearances and use beautiful songs to confuse passing boatmen, causing them to become distracted and lose their direction, and finally sink to the bottom of the river. They
Will eat those human corpses!"
'Angela' breathed softly, and then said:
"I seem to have heard of this, but I only heard that they would use songs to lure the sailors astray, but I never heard of them eating people. But since you said it, it shouldn't be wrong!"
'Angela' sighed after speaking and mentioned her deceased sister:
"When Isabel was little, she loved mermaids the most. I never thought they were such creatures and could be so cruel!"
‘Gabriel’ did not agree with this statement and denied:
"That's not cruel. For them, compared to hunting in the sea, this is the safest way to hunt. They just want to survive!"
As he was talking, an oil lamp on the wall suddenly lit up with a pea-sized flame, instantly breaking through the darkness, and then the flame grew bigger and brighter.
Then one after another, the mermaid oil lamps lit up, illuminating the underground space clearly.
At this time, 'Constantine' and others could see the bottom of the underground space through the light.
The bottom is at least fifty meters deep from the entrance above. A fifty-meter-deep underground secret room was opened under the church. This was considered a quite large project in those days.
"Let's go!"
'Huang Shaohong' spoke and asked everyone to continue moving forward. Soon they reached the bottom and found that the bottom was a circular space with a huge iron door inlaid on the wall.
There was no lock on the iron door, but there was something like a handle. 'Gabriel' took hold of the handle and pulled it outward. He heard a 'Glug' sound and the sound of a mechanism coming from inside the iron door.
'Gabriel' only pulled the handle out about ten centimeters, then rotated it counterclockwise forty-five degrees, and then pulled it outward again, and there was another groaning sound from inside the iron door.
Then 'Gabriel' kept rotating the handle, pulling it outward or pushing it inward every time it turned.
Every time the iron door made a mechanical sound, this operation was carried out twenty-four times in total!
'Gabriel' was afraid that Huang Shaohong would be impatient, so he explained:
"There are explosives buried in the surrounding walls. If you don't know the mechanism and forcefully pick the lock or dismantle the door, the explosives will explode and the underground space will collapse and bury it!"
"This iron door was researched by the scientific priests in the Vatican, because the oldest version of the Old Testament has twenty-four volumes, and the mechanism of this door also requires twenty-four steps to open!"
'Huang Shaohong' smiled slightly when he heard this. He had scanned the entire underground space with his spiritual consciousness before, and he knew all the dangers. Now he saw 'Gabriel' speaking out on his own initiative, proving that he had not deceived him.
, and immediately nodded to him.
When 'Gabriel' turned the handle for the twenty-fourth time according to a certain pattern, the sound of the machine's chopping in the iron door became continuous. Finally, with a 'Glug' sound, the iron door opened automatically and slowly moved toward
Stretch out.
As soon as the door opened, everyone could feel a rotten atmosphere pouring out from inside.
‘Gabriel’ told everyone that as soon as the door is opened, the ancient ventilation system will automatically start, and they just need to wait at the door.
Everyone felt that as soon as the rotten aura came out, it was slowly drawn back. After a while, the air became fresher, and on the wall of the secret room inside the iron door, mermaid oil lamps kept lighting up, illuminating
the space inside.
‘Gabriel’ walked in first and sighed:
"I haven't been here for decades. Come in and I'll introduce it to you!"
The underground space inside the iron gate covers an area of two hundred square meters. There are various glass or crystal vessels of various sizes. In addition, there are also various strange statues, sculptures, dolls and other things that look a little scary.
There are various portraits hanging on the surrounding walls.
‘Gabriel’ told everyone that all kinds of monsters were suppressed here. For example, some seemingly empty glass and crystal vessels actually contained various evil spirits!
And those statues and statues are all demons or other evil things.
For example, a winged monster statue with a metal cross stuck in its chest is the legendary gargoyle. If you pull out the cross from its chest, the gargoyle will come back to life.
'Chas' was young and curious. He walked to a sealed glass jar and lowered his head to look inside. Originally, there was nothing in the jar. Suddenly, a puff of black smoke rose up, forming a ferocious skull, heading towards him.
Pounced towards him, the skeleton's teeth opened and closed as if to bite him.
With a "Chas" sound, he was startled and fell backwards. Biman grabbed him and kept him from falling.
Seeing that he was frightened, 'Gabriel' showed a gloating smile on his lips, but when he saw 'Huang Shaohong' looking at him, he immediately restrained himself and said:
"That is the evil spirit found in the Mayan ruins. It killed hundreds of adventurers in several expedition teams in North America. It was caught by the exorcists of the Holy See and suppressed here. Don't worry, it is locked there.
Can’t get out!”
‘Constantine’ suddenly pointed in a direction and asked:
"Why are there mummies here?"
Everyone looked around and saw that in the corner of the underground space, there was an Egyptian mummy's coffin that was often seen on TV quietly placed.
The paint on the coffin is as new as new, giving people a feeling as if it was newly made, and it is indescribably charming and weird.
'Angela' seemed to be attracted by the bright colors on the coffin. She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to touch it. 'Gabriel' grabbed her arm and warned her seriously:
"The colorful patterns on it are all curses and cannot be touched!"
'Angela' just woke up like a dream, and said fearfully:
"I just felt someone calling me there, and I walked over involuntarily, as if my mind went blank for a moment!"
‘Gabriel’ nodded:
"You should have heard of the mummy here. It is the famous Princess Amanra. Her soul was trapped inside and turned into an evil demon."
‘Biman’’s eyes lit up:
"It turns out to be her!"
‘Chas’ doesn’t know why:
"Is this famous? I've only heard of Tutankhamun's mummy!"
'Biman' looked at the mummy's coffin as if he were looking at a rare treasure, and he responded:
"What do you know? This one is no worse than Tutankhamen!"
"Although Princess Yamara was not famous when she was alive, since the day she was unearthed, everyone who has come into contact with her has been plagued by bad luck. They either disappeared or had accidents. The worst case was that they went bankrupt and became a beggar...
"
‘Chas’ was unimpressed:
"Beggars make more money!"
"Go away, can we have a nice chat!"
'Biman' is so angry, but he likes these mysterious things. After scolding him, he continued:
"Later, no one dared to collect the mummy, so it was sold to the British Museum. However, people continued to die because of her. In the end, the British Museum couldn't bear it anymore and had to give it to a private collector!"
"The collector performed an exorcism ritual for her, but it failed. Finally, the new owner had no choice but to sell it to an American archaeologist who did not believe in evil!"
“So the princess ‘Amanla’ was put on a giant ship that was a sensation in the shipbuilding industry at that time, and was sent to New York!”
After 'Biman' finished speaking, he turned to 'Chas' and asked:
"Do you know which ship that giant ship is?"
‘Chas’ scratched his hair:
"How could I know!"
When ‘Huang Shaohong’ heard ‘Biman’ say ‘a huge ship that caused a sensation in the shipbuilding world’, his heart moved:
"Is it the Titanic?"
Before ‘Biman’ could speak, ‘Gabriel’ gave the answer:
"Yes, it was precisely because the ship carried this special guest that it was affected by the power of the curse and sank. Later, when people were searching for survivors, they found it floating on the sea and were taken to the sea.
The American Emperor was sent, but she has been bringing bad luck for a long time, and she was finally sent here!"
Everyone suddenly had a strange feeling. It turned out that the Titanic was so heavy!
'Constantine' complained:
"Back then, when you were the resident angel, couldn't you just destroy these things? How about suppressing them by putting them here? Why don't you just keep them for collection?"
‘Huang Shaohong’ chuckled:
"You don't know. I can guess what they are thinking. If all these things are eliminated and the world truly achieves long-term peace and stability, without mysterious events or monsters, then who will still believe in the one above!"
"I think when people's belief in the one above decreases and they don't respect the Holy See enough, these things will appear in the world, and then the Holy See will take action to solve the problem and gain some faith at the same time!"
'Gabriel' was no longer an angel at this time. He had betrayed the person above and the Holy See. Naturally, he had no scruples. He nodded and said, "This is indeed what the Holy See planned!"
As an exorcist, 'Constantine' doesn't have any noble sentiments, but when he heard this kind of thing, he couldn't help but curse:
"How shameless!"
‘Huang Shaohong’ waved his hand and said:
"This is political means. Otherwise, politics is dirty!"
After he finished speaking, he said to ‘Gabriel’:
"Okay, tell me where is the soul of 'Van Helsing'?"
‘Gabriel’ pointed towards the innermost wall:
"Right there!"
There was an ancient map hanging on the wall. The map was as big as the entire wall. On it were ink lines of varying thicknesses, outlining mountains, rivers, roads, and villages. There was also a strange inscription next to the map.
Because of his habit of studying mysticism, 'Biman' first looked at the inscription, then turned to 'Huang Shaohong' and said:
"BOSS, this is ancient Latin. It should be a spell, but there is a missing piece of the spell, otherwise I would still be able to read it!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the lower left corner of the map. Others looked over and saw that there was damage there, as if someone had torn off a corner.
'Gabriel' walked over, picked up a dusty scroll on a shelf next to the map, and pulled open the scroll with his hand, which was the missing corner of the map.
She handed the corner to Biman and said:
"Since you know ancient Latin, just read it out. This is the passage to where Dracula is imprisoned!"
‘Bi Man’ turned to look at ‘Huang Shaohong’, waiting for his boss’s opinion.
'Huang Shaohong' knew that 'Gabriel' made him feel at ease, so he asked 'Biman' to recite this mantra. He immediately nodded to the latter, just to recite it with reassurance.
‘Biman’ placed the corner on the map, and then recited an incantation in ancient Latin language.
Everyone looked at the map for a moment, and saw that after 'Biman' finished reciting the incantation, a silvery light suddenly appeared on the ink lines on the map.
After the silver light appeared, it expanded rapidly, and finally merged into one, the map disappeared, and what was placed in front of everyone was a silver mirror.
'Angela' said in surprise: "Is this a mirror?"
‘Huang Shaohong’ shook his head:
"This is not a mirror. I can feel the space fluctuations on it. This is a teleportation portal!"
‘Gabriel’ looked at ‘Huang Shaohong’:
"Do you need me to go in first?"
‘Huang Shaohong’ shook his head and said with a confident smile:
"I believe you don't dare to lie to me, otherwise I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
After he finished speaking, he strode towards the 'mirror', and under the gaze of everyone, he passed through the mirror like a wall-traveling technique and disappeared.
'Old Jia', who had been silent the entire time, followed the owner in without hesitation.
‘Gabriel’ turned around and smiled at the others:
"There will be danger inside. I advise you to think carefully before entering!"
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and walked into the mirror with elegant steps.
'Constantine' said to 'Angela': "Otherwise you stay outside, after all you are a woman!"
‘Angela’ pulled out her pistol: “What’s wrong with the woman? I’m a police officer!”
She said, and walked into the mirror without thinking. 'Zha Kang' smiled bitterly, shook his head, and followed in the same way.
In his heart, 'Zha Kang' actually dismisses the dangers mentioned by 'Gabriel', isn't he just 'Dracula'? He can do what 'Van Helsing' can do, he is 'Constantine'!
Next, 'Biman' and 'Chas' also followed in. As soon as they passed through the mirror portal, they saw Huang Shaohong and others standing in front of them.
The surrounding wind was howling and biting, and the ground beneath their feet was covered with snow that was a foot deep. Looking around, they saw that the mountains had fallen beneath their feet. Looking into the vastness and distance, they were actually on top of the snow-capped mountains.
