In the depths of the secret passage connecting the second waterway, Nemo Wilkins held a lantern in his hand. 'Clean up, clean up the traces below, the people of the church are drilling around in the central city and the XC area-now the spreading darkness should give them a headache."
"I'm still worried that you guys will take the opportunity to cause some damage," Duncan said casually, "after all, you are the home of the Second Waterway."
"We don't have to do this," Nemo shook his head, "We are loyal to Captain Tirian, and Captain Tirian never wants to destroy this city-state—from the perspective of protecting the city-state, we and the Church, even There is no conflict with the city hall. Now the people in the church are trying to find a way to eliminate the cultists in the city, and we will not be impulsive and do things to help those cultists.”
Duncan nodded, and then asked curiously: "Did the old ghost show up today?"
"Old ghost..." Nemo hesitated in his words, and then sighed softly, "The old ghost's mental state has become increasingly unstable recently, he is too old, and the church organized manpower to search for the second waterway His actions also somewhat stimulated his nerves, which reminded him of the battle in the sewer - in order to avoid a situation, I could only let him rest in the cellar of the tavern."
The last warrior who had served the Queen could not get out of the nightmare decades ago—Duncan could only sigh at this, and walked silently to the depths of the second waterway with Alice.
They passed through the secret passage, passed through multiple secret doors and intersections that seemed to be monitored by secret sentries, and finally entered the second waterway through a completely different path from the last time.
Obviously, in response to the search operations of the church and the authorities, the people of the Sea Mist Fleet lurking in the city-state activated a set of camouflage and early warning systems that had been prepared long ago.
In the end, Duncan and Alice returned to the corridor under the leadership of Nemo - the place where the crow had an accident.
"I'll go back first," Nemo said to Duncan, "The city has been tense recently, and there are more and more people watching. I have to keep an eye on the situation above. You should pay attention to the church here..."
He wanted to remind Duncan to pay attention to safety and be careful not to meet the church's search team here, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the middle of the sentence. None of them are bad guys..."
Duncan couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to worry, I know how to measure - go back quickly, you have been away from the tavern for too long."
"OK."
Nemo left quickly, and the empty and cold underground waterway became quiet for a while.
Duncan raised his head and looked at the empty corridor in front of him, but he recalled the situation when he came here before in his mind.
The young man named "Crow" fell by the sewage ditch not far in front of him. He died on the dry ground, but the cause of death was drowning in sea water. In his pocket, there was still a Zhang's "hieroglyphic" records transcribed from unknown sources.
Now this corridor has been cleaned up, it should be Nemo and the old ghost.
Duncan turned his head and saw Alice obediently following beside him, with a serious expression in the eyes exposed from behind the veil—but he knew that the puppet was actually just emptying its head and not thinking about anything. didn't think so.
Of course Duncan knew that he could not expect to discuss or reason with this puppet. He brought Alice here only because she could see those "lines" Can't escape her eyes.
"If you see the 'line again, tell me immediately." Duncan said seriously.
"Yeah!" Alice nodded immediately.
Duncan walked forward slowly.
He was still thinking about the "crow" in his mind.
At that time, he, Morris and others speculated that the "crow" had entered a certain place by mistake, but in the end they searched the entire corridor but failed to find any clues, and the investigation was deadlocked. Come on... at that time there seemed to be an answer to where the crow strayed.
It is very likely that it is a mirror
It seems that the Frost meets the Frost of reality for a short time in this corridor, it may be a crack, or it may be a momentary reflection emerging from a certain stagnant water - the crow passing by is unfortunately fall into it.
Regardless of how he crossed that line, one thing is clear:
This corridor should be a weak point in the connection between the mirror image and reality.
Underground, cold and damp, the air is filled with a rotten and moldy smell, giving people the feeling that the entire city-state is a corpse that is gradually rotting—and I am walking on this rotten corpse. in the viscera of the corpse.
Footsteps sounded in the sewer corridor filled with a strange smell, and it sounded a little heavy. Agatha walked forward slowly, while confirming the direction of progress through temporary divination and spiritual perception, while carefully paying attention to her surroundings The troubles.
Her black clothes have been severely damaged, and the soft armor lining and the ceremonial bandage wrapped around her body are also more bloody. The damage to her body has exceeded the critical point of self-repair. He can stop the bleeding with divine magic first, but he has no time to think about the restoration of flesh and blood.
But the good news is that Agatha has become more and more sure that she is heading in the right direction - after eliminating more and more fake freaks, and after many confrontations with this malicious replica city-state, She finally "smelled" those heresies more and more clearly.
Following this smell, she walked through the streets and alleys of the lower city, passed through the empty and twisted subway passages, and got into the collapsed sewers. Finally, she found this city-state that had been abandoned for many years. A world deep underground.
The vastness here is beyond the records she has seen in the archives, beyond what she can imagine after seeing those files.
Agatha raised her head and looked at the dimly lit wide corridor in front of her. Ancient gas lamps were inlaid on the walls on both sides of the corridor. On the vault of the arc-shaped corridor, we can see the criss-crossing pipes and supporting structures. Under the light of the shaking gas lamp, everything casts shaking and distorted shadows, as if there are countless invisible things, wriggling in the dim among.
On both sides of the ground in the corridor, there are ditches flowing with sewage. Disgusting black water flows down from the grille openings on the wall and merges into those ditches, making the sound of rushing water.
Agatha knows where this is.
This is the "Second Waterway" under Frost, the place she originally planned to lead a team to explore.
The only difference from the plan is that what she planned to lead the team to explore was the city-state underground in the real world, but at this moment she was trapped in a duplicated Frost.
Agatha closed her eyes slightly, and carefully sensed the flow of breath in the air. She blocked the filthy and stench, and relied on her spiritual intuition to search for the location of the heretics.
She could feel that the longer she stayed here and the more she dealt with those freaks, the "connection" between herself and this fake city was gradually strengthened.
in front.
The gatekeeper opened his eyes, ignored the faint pain coming from the wounds all over his body, chose a fork in the road ahead, and continued to walk deep into the corridor.
She suddenly remembered something.
Not long ago, I visited the existence of the suspected ancient **** or the incarnation of the ancient **** who descended on Frost. At that time, the other party hinted to her that she was asked to go "underground" to find clues.
Now, under the guidance of her breath, she is constantly approaching the lairs where the heretics are hiding.
Those heretics are really hiding underground in the city-state, in this abandoned second waterway—it's just that this "underground hiding place" is not in the Frost City in the real world, but in a copied foreign land.
Agatha twitched her lips.
The road is twists and turns, and finally returns to the origin.
At that time, she misunderstood the hint of the descendant and mistakenly thought that the enemy was hidden in the second waterway in the real world. A clue was found in Ershui Road.
Wandering in the fork in the road, and finally heading in the right direction-is this also a kind of luck?
Agatha observed the surrounding situation.
Although she has not investigated the second waterway in the real world, she still knows some general information. She knows that the ancient sewer system has been completely abandoned and blocked, and all the pipes, shafts and drains leading to the second waterway The sinks are all closed ~IndoMTL.com~ In theory, it should be a dry or relatively dry place.
But the sewer corridor in front of you can see sewage flowing everywhere, and the sound of drainage can be heard from time to time in the surrounding pipes.
In this duplicated Frost City-State, the second waterway appears to be in constant use—is this also the difference between a fake and a genuine one?
Agatha thought about it, and then suddenly stopped.
The sound of sticky and disgusting wriggling came from the surroundings. The outlets of the sewage pipes and the surface of the walls covered with black pollutants, the black mud was constantly seeping out.
The lingering freaks are at it again.
The body is exhausted, the wound is hurting, the ritual bandage has been broken, and the blessing of the God of Death has gradually weakened, and the weakness caused by the loss of blood can't be ignored.
But Agatha just raised her head calmly, staring at the deformed monsters gathering in front of her eyes.
"Come, to die."
