Chapter 13 The Battered Statue
"Lord, there seems to be no sound."
The lowly reminder from slave Yi came from his ear, and Colin came to his senses from his trance.
The second floor, no, to be precise, the whole church has no sound at this moment, and it is as quiet as a morgue.
"Is that so? It's finally over."
Colin rubbed his forehead and felt that he was really distracted, and he felt like his brain had turned into a slush of flour.
Fortunately, the mission was finally over, and I could finally return to the wooden house and have a good sleep.
But what Collin didn't expect was that at this moment, an accident happened!
At this moment, Colin, who was about to give the task, looked at the question mark on the task list on the parchment roll, and his expression suddenly became stiff.
"What's going on? Didn't it be killed?"
A bunch of question marks popped up in Colin's heart. When he clicked on the task list, he saw that the progress bar looked more than ninety-nine...
This situation seems to indicate that there is still the last "wailing man" left.
There is one more...
However, at this time, Colin clearly did not hear any "wailing voice" sounding...
This is obviously a very abnormal thing. Almost all the "wailers" were awakened just now, but there was another fish that missed the net.
This fish that escapes the net is obviously special.
Otherwise, the current situation cannot be explained.
Colin really couldn't use the excuse of the "wailing man" that was just about to have his ears or hearing loss, and he didn't hear his companions screaming, so he was still sleeping and other excuses to convince himself...
A dark intuition told Colin...thing seemed to be a big deal.
"Lord?"
When Slave II saw Colin's gradually solemn brows, he seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but whisper,
"If what you want to do is too dangerous, please hand it over to me and No. 1, and we are ready to sacrifice for your will."
“It’s not that level yet,”
Collin laughed, and his inner depression was dispelled by the firm words and eyes of the two subordinates.
The feeling of someone who unconditionally trusts, is loyal to you, and is willing to go through fire and water for you is really warm.
Even if you are actually very clear, this kind of loyalty is already set and is a kind of compulsory.
But to be honest, if these two people were not allowed to walk alone in the fog, the pressure would be too great.
In such places, people's psychological collapse only takes a moment.
"Maybe it was missed. If you look carefully, you should find it."
Colin raised the lantern in his hand and looked at it: [You think the blood in the lantern can burn for 33 minutes.]
"Is it almost an hour passed?"
When I came, Colin remembered that it was more than an hour and twenty minutes, and it has been nearly an hour since now.
However, the blood collected in the backpack now totals more than 100 milliliters, so there is no need to worry about time.
Looking back from the end of the second floor corridor, I looked at every corner of each room, behind the door, the ceiling, the corner, and even outside the window, and saw nothing at the end.
[You realize that the second floor has been searched completely by you, and you did not find the last "wailing man". Perhaps, it should be somewhere on the first floor.]
"Somewhere on the first floor...there is only the podium behind the church hall that I haven't seen much."
Colin recalled his exploration on the first floor and found that although the "wailers" were running around a few times, the closer they got to the rear, the fewer they got.
It's like something more dangerous exists.
Not long after, Colin brought two servants to the first floor lobby and quickly walked to the deepest part of the church.
At the end of the red carpet, there is a Bible reading platform with nothing on it.
When Colin arrived here, he did not find any "wailing man" or even a skeleton.
Everything seems to be very ordinary.
But this ordinary is the biggest abnormality at this moment.
There is no obstacle to walking here from elsewhere. With the habit of "wailing people", it is impossible not to step into this place.
Colin felt more and more that his guess was correct, and there was something here that had indeed existed.
This thing is probably the last monster in the mission.
"Lord, look at this..."
Colin turned his head and looked in the direction the slave pointed at. It seemed like a lifelike sculpture, but only the bottom was seen.
The hand holding the lantern gently raised up, and Colin looked up along the sculpture, and a very visually impactful sculpture image came to his face.
Colin's eyes squinted involuntarily.
It was a fruit-body sculpture of a man with a disheveled hair, thin body, and in an extremely abused and exaggerated manner, bound to a tree full of thorns.
His hands and feet had been distorted and distorted, becoming thorny vines that were tangled and growing, and merged with the spiked trees behind them.
However, in such an exaggerated and painful posture, the man's face was full of peace and his eyes were drooping, as if he was looking at Colin and the other two in the hall with a kind gaze.
The moment his sight met the sculpture man, Colin breathed and felt a huge pressure inexplicably.
At this moment, an extremely distant and grand male voice suddenly came to his ears.
"I'm very guilty..."
The sound was illusory and ethereal, and with the appearance of this sound, Colin felt that the man in front of him seemed to be alive at any time.
[A sculptural image that is extremely abused. You think it is related to "suffering", but you find it difficult to understand why his behavior is. You only know that he is not the "mother of suffering and thorns" you know.]
The hand holding the lantern shook slightly, and Colin took a deep breath like a breath of breath as if he was breathing, allowing himself to calm down again.
At this moment, Collin realized that a cold sweat was seeping out of his back in a short moment.
But for some reason, when he calmed down, Colin found that looking at the sculpture again, except that it still felt a little weird, he no longer had the thrilling feeling he had just now.
Everything seems to be fake...
【It looks weird, but you think it is really just a sculpture.】
Seeing this prompt, Colin felt a little relieved.
The prompt has not deceived people at present, either it gives nonsense or the information it gives must be accurate.
I looked around and found that the slave seemed to have nothing abnormal, probably because I didn't hear it...
"However, it seems that the last monster is not here..."
There were not many hidden areas behind the sculpture. He looked around it and found nothing.
"Is it possible that I still need to decrypt something?"
Colin frowned. He hated such a game that requires brain use the most, especially now that his brain is like a slurry:
"No. 1 and No. 2, what do you think about this?"
Brainstorming.
The two subordinates were stunned and a little flattered. They didn't seem to expect Colin to ask them, but they didn't know much about such things and could not give any good opinions.
In their stereotypes, evil things often happen in the basement.
The dragon hides the treasure in the basement, the bad guys do bad things in the basement, the criminals are detained in the basement, the cult holds evil rituals in the basement, and the rich hides the plundered wealth in the basement...
So they think...
“…Basement?”
Colin raised his eyebrows. If this was really just a game, it was not impossible.
After all, this is a very classic element.
But if there is a hidden basement...
Where should its entrance be?
[You just looked through the direction of the statue and found that the stone bricks under the lecture stage seemed to be wrong. You boldly guessed that this is the entrance to the basement.]
Upon receiving the prompt, Colin immediately ordered No. 1: "Change the table and knock on the stone brick to see what's underground."
Peng Peng...
Hollow sound.
"Lord, there is really a basement here!" No. 1's face showed great joy.
The Lord’s eyes were indeed keen!
Sure enough...Colin's mouth grinned, and there was a feeling of dust falling to the ground.
This game, or people in this world, are still too naive, and their knowledge level really needs to be improved, and there is no challenge at all...
Colin shook his head and directed the two of them, preparing to uncover the red carpet, open the slabs, and find the way to the basement.
But at this moment, Colin's back suddenly felt cold.
Chapter completed!
