Leading to the Final 47

To be on the safe side, Kai Xin deliberately went back to the museum and took a cloak to cover his figure.

Kai Xin bent down to enter the narrow passage, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly became enlightened.

She has a wealth of experience in drilling sewers. She knows that in the new cities built by the Federation in recent decades, the sewers are so spacious that two cars can run side by side. There will also be cleaning robots that regularly clean the accumulated algae and garbage that cannot be washed away in the sewers. .

But even so, Kai Xin still turned on the air filtration system of the mask.

A group of four people, except for Kai Xin, were all under her control. The security guard walked in the front, Kai Xin walked in the middle, and the other two were cut off from the rear.

Like little mice in the sewer, they turned around a complicated curve, passed through two secret passages extending downwards, and then drilled a sticky and greasy sewage pipe… Fortunately, the security guards leading the way were fully equipped, and even gave them a warning in advance. They prepared all-inclusive raincoats and shoe covers as protective clothing, otherwise they would have been too dirty to see when they arrived at the meeting place.

This route is very rugged, and it is easy for people to lose their way when walking in it. Even if Kai Xin consciously memorized the route, he would soon become dizzy. At last she approached her destination before her patience ran out.

But at this time, a serious problem was posed in front of Kai Xin.

“Underground… sizzling… the signal is weak.” Adam’s voice was intermittent.

Kai Xin replied with data manipulation: “It’s okay, everything will go according to the original plan.”

She looked down at the time. It’s 7:30, and she has almost an hour.

The four of them have gone deep enough, and now the stench of the sewer has disappeared, they took off theirRaincoat and shoe covers, walking in the dark tunnel.

Kai Xin was observing the material of the surrounding tunnels. The stone walls were somewhat grainy, and there were traces of digging tools on them. The lights are dim, and the lamps of old models are installed on the walls of the cave. The circuit system here seems to be a bit old, and it is not connected to the federal circuit supply system, and a separate small generator is used.

This is normal. For a secret gathering place, the first thing to ensure is secrecy. Connected to the federal circuit supply system, the power plant will obtain relevant electricity consumption data, and the meeting of the secret religious order will be discovered.

Kai Xin can feel the air flowing. There are steel pipes around the walls, and small fan blades are attached to the steel pipes. This is an artificial oxygen generator. Because it is too far from the ground and the tunnel is too complicated, the oxygen content will be low if the ventilation is not smooth. , this is fatal.

There is not only one tunnel. Kai Xin came out of the sewer and entered the main road of the tunnel. She walked more than ten meters forward and saw many tunnels on both sides and above the main road. This underground space is like a rodent’s nest. The lair leads to different places in all directions.

Suddenly there were two sounds in the hollow of the tunnel above Kai Xin, and there was a sound of friction, as if something was about to fall out.

The four of them immediately dodged. A black figure in the shape of a human fell from the sky and fell to the ground with a loud groan. Then another figure fell, and this person landed steadily. He picked up his fallen companion, glanced at Kai Xin and the others, and left without looking back.

It didn’t take long for members of the assembly to come out of the tunnels in all directions one after another and came to the main road.

The scattered small group of people gradually gathered into a stream of people. People wearing masks and cloaks walked along the road in silence. The sound of scattered footsteps echoed in the tunnel, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Yes, very solemn.

Kai Xin felt that she was mixed among a group of pilgrims. She felt extremely depressed, like an atheist who mixed into a church, and was extremely uncomfortable with the solemn atmosphere in the church.

Obviously the air in the space below is very gloomy and cold, but Kai Xin felt “frenzy” from the people around him.

Their mental fluctuations are blazing, like torches in winter nights, dazzling and crazy, and Kai Xin doesn’t even dare to read their thoughts, because their thoughts are like viruses that can spread and contagious, and she is afraid that she will be infected with these crazy viruses I can’t get rid of it.

Occasionally, a few anxious mental fluctuations appeared, mixed in with the frenzied mental fluctuations, like a few small sailboats floating in the rough sea.

Those restless people were “newcomers” participating in the rally for the first time, and they came here with various purposes in mind.

The bald young man I first met was a rich second generation. He came here because he was suffering from a terminal illness that even modern medicine could not cure. He came here to seek an antidote.

The second emaciated woman who appeared was because her child was in a car accident and was lying in the ward about to die. She came here to save the child.

The newcomers who appeared later also had a similar purpose. Kai Xin didn’t want to read the thoughts of members of the sect, but he could read the thoughts of the newcomers.

Most of them were driven to a dead end, and a few people were really curious, wondering whether the things that appeared in this secret gathering were really as miraculous as the invitation said, so miraculous that they could cure terminal illnesses, rejuvenate their youth, and keep them alive forever youth.

Kai Xin couldn’t help sneering after understanding their inner thoughts.

If she guessed correctly, the magical item that can cure terminal illness, rejuvenate, and maintain youth is divine blood. If it is said that it can cure terminal illness, divine blood seems to be able to do it. Rejuvenation and eternal youth are pure nonsense. The old man drank divine blood It’s true that you won’t become younger, but you will become a monster. And even if the terminal illness is cured by drinking the divine blood, if the alienation reaction cannot survive, it will still turn into a deformed monster and melt into a pool of blood.

The secret sect uses lies to lure people in first, and then makes it impossible for them to get out. The game of Crimson Soil is the same. The players were deceived and misled, and have since become little mice who are diligently digging holes.

Kai Xin followed the flow of people all the way down.

The last main road is spiral downward, and the road under her feet has a slight slope and curvature. She only feels that she has walked for a long time, until the sound of Adam’s sizzling electricity disappeared from her ears, and she walked to the isolation signal. deep underground.

Finally, the people walking in front stopped, and the people behind gradually stopped walking.

There is a bend ahead, and at the end of the bend is a door, a wooden door. Two gatekeepers held scanners to scan the people who came to the rally. In fact, when he first met the security guard who led the way, he was carrying a scanning device on his body. Kui Xin controlled him so that he did not accept the scan. He did not expect to undergo a second scan when he arrived underground.

Kai Xin’s hand hidden in the cloak moved secretly, and hid the weapon in the “Shadow Realm”. The inside of the cloak was originally a stable shadow space, and Augus used to use the Shadow Realm to place items.

While waiting for the scan, Kai Xin was idle and bored, so she simply mentally controlled all the newcomers who came to the gathering. After controlling them, she mixed among the believers and picked other easy targets.

After a while, it was Kai Xin’s turn. She stepped forward to accept the scan calmly, passed through smoothly, and entered the wooden door.

Once entering the wooden door, the light was even dimmer than the corridor outside.

The internal lighting fixtures are not light bulbs, but torches. The orange-red flames flickered on and off, illuminating the fairly spacious stone hall. The structure of this stone hall is very peculiar. It is funnel-shaped as a whole, half artificial and half natural. Kai Xin actually saw stalactites in the corners.

Members of the religious order are on the excavated circular stone benchesTake a seat, facing the platform in the center of the stone hall, that place looks like a podium, but it is bigger than the podium, it can be used for dance rehearsal. It is at the lowest point of the stone hall, and Kai Xin can look down on it when he sits in the last row, just like the nobles of ancient Rome sitting on a high platform and overlooking the Colosseum below.

The waiting staff arrived one by one, and dozens of people in dark cloaks sat silently.

At this time, a man in a cloak walked down to the central stone platform and said loudly, “Welcome, my brothers and sisters, we are gathered here again to listen to the holy voice of the Lord.”

As he spoke, he opened his arms, and the stone hall burst into warm applause and howls. Some people even knelt down on the ground and burst into tears, constantly saying things like praising God.

Kai Xin was terrified, and hurriedly made herself look more gregarious. She pretended to applaud wildly and hid herself in the crowd.

After a long time, the applause subsided.

The person standing in the center of the stone platform who seemed to be playing the role of a priest said: “Today we welcome fourteen newcomers, but according to the old rules, only seven can become our compatriots. Come, come forward, children. ”

Kai Xin’s eyes sank, she didn’t understand what this guy was up to. In order to keep the play going smoothly, she controlled the fourteen newcomers to the stone platform.

There were fourteen people, men, women, old and young. They lined up and looked at “Father”.

But “Father” stepped back from the stone platform, looked at the people on the stone platform, and said, “You can start now.”

The fourteen people remained silent.

He added: “Only seven people can stay.”

Kai Xin furrowed his eyebrows fiercely and asked one of them to ask a question.

The bald young man said, “What does this mean? How can we leave seven of the fourteen of us? Do you guess fist?”

“No, child.” “Father” said, “on this stone platform, you can’t go down again. This is an altar. Half of the people will dedicate their blood, flesh and spirit to my Lord, so that he can rise from his deep sleep.” Come back.”

What he meant was to ask the fourteen of them to kill each other and choose the seven who won in the end.

“Can I quit voluntarily?” the bald young man asked.

“What a precious opportunity, child.” “Father” opened his arms lovingly, “There are so many people who want to be sacrifices, but they are not qualified. God gave you his blood, how can you not give something? ”

As if in response to his words, some believers shouted: “Coward, I can go! Let me go! I can give everything I have!”

An even more frenzied and terrifying atmosphere spread, and the believers were scrambling, crying, and yelling to sacrifice everything they had.

If the fourteen people on the stage were not controlled, how would they choose now? Will they tremble with fear, or will they fight for the divine blood?

The believers stretched out their hands excitedly, impatiently wanting to consecrate themselves. There were crowds of people, like ghosts floating in the River Styx. Everyone stretched out their pale hands to prove their loyalty to God.

Kai Xin was almost disgusted by this scene, and countless fanatical spirits surrounded her. They were like loach tumbling in a hot pot, their bodies twisted and moved forward, and they were about to submerge the stone platform.

“Father” said: “Be quiet!”

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

“We have to follow the tradition.” He said again.

The believers finally stopped being so excited. They sat down slowly, and the atmosphere became solemn again, but there was a storm hidden under the calm sea.

“Father” then looked at the fourteen people, and took out a container containing a dark red liquid from his arms.

“God’s gift is in it.” He said meaningfully, “The next step is your choice.”

The fourteen people did not move.

The believers didn’t move either.

But at this moment, Kai Xin stood up from the stone bench expressionlessly, and the cloaked people around her looked at her in surprise.

“Father” also looked at her suspiciously: “You…”

Kai Xin threw off his cloak, took out his micro-punch and aimed at “Father”, and said calmly, “I choose to beat you into a sieve!”

Tongues of flame burst, bullets burst!

With Kai Xin’s aim, how could anyone dodge her bullets at a distance of tens of meters? What’s more, most of the believers are ordinary people, only a few people have “flesh and blood regeneration”, and there are only three or two kittens who have awakened extraordinary abilities at the same time.

“Father” blood spattered on the spot!

He clutched his chest and fell to the ground, howling. Blood flowed all over the floor, but he didn’t die. The blood hole on his body wriggled and healed.

Although he used flesh and blood regeneration, it seemed that he had never suffered such a serious injury and lost his combat effectiveness directly.

The cultists screamed and swarmed over, trying to overwhelm Kai Xin to the ground, but with a flash of his body, his body turned into mist and passed through the crowd, at the same time opening the realm of nothingness.

The healing wound of “Father” stopped wriggling, and he screamed louder. In an instant, Kai Xin shuttled to his side and put a bullet in his forehead, sending him to death.

She stood on the most central stone platform, and the believers looked at her in horror.

Behind her were the fourteen unlucky ones who came to the meeting place in a daze and were controlled.

The believers couldn’t understand why a traitor suddenly appeared in a secret meeting that was so good. They didn’t know where Kaixin got the news. This secret meeting had existed for many years, and no outsiders had ever been able to enter. They developed the means of Protestants Secret enough to go through multiple investigations and surveillance.

Kai Xin confronted them with weapons. Some wanted to run away, but more people stared at her with hatred, wishing to tear her to pieces.

material weightThe group was activated, and a large rock fell out of thin air above the wooden door of the entrance and exit, blocking the door tightly.

“Don’t worry,” Kai Xin imitated the tone of “Father” and deliberately said in a gentle voice, “None of you can escape.”

A believer immediately knelt down: “Please, I just joined by accident. This is only my second time participating in the rally. Let me go! I can give you money, anything!”

The rest of the believers roared angrily. Before Kai Xin could respond, the believers drowned the kneeling beggar, and the crazy crowd tore him to pieces.

The few remaining ungodly people who hadn’t participated in several rallies also collapsed, “They’re all lunatics! They’re all lunatics! Help me, who will save me!”

The atmosphere of fanaticism is contagious, and so are crazy thoughts. People who are not fanatics will become fanatics themselves if they are in a fanatic environment for a long time. People who are not crazy and get along with crazy people for a long time will become really crazy over time. .

They were assimilated and infected by the environment. They were infected with a mental virus. The filthy souls pulled each other in the mud, and one soul after another was pulled into the abyss.

There were screams and insults one after another. Before Kai Xin dealt with them, they unexpectedly fell into chaotic internal fighting.

When Kai Xin was about to lose his patience and shoot to clean up the scene, a man kneeled out of the crowd in embarrassment, with two footprints stepped on his face by someone, and he rolled towards Kai Xin crying and howling. Crying: “Don’t shoot your own people! Is it Miss Spearhead No. 233? I have found my family! I am No. 12345!”

Kai Xin didn’t listen to his prayer, she pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the bullet almost flew past the scalp of Depriver 12345, hitting the gathered believers.

Number 12345 was so frightened that he couldn’t bear to move his head.

The gunfire didn’t stop, so he kept his head in his hands and buried his head in his knees. The smell of gunpowder smoke penetrated into his nostrils, and the smell of blood became more intense, which made him tremble all over and scared his soul away. up.

I don’t know how long it took… Maybe it didn’t take long before the gunshots stopped.

No. 12345 looked up tremblingly, and met Kai Xin’s eyes. What’s more, the gun in her hand was pointed at his forehead.

Before Kai Xin asked the question, No. 12345 explained in a sensible manner: “I have seen your news, although you are wearing a cloak, but I still recognize it! And you have multiple extraordinary abilities, I found that my own extraordinary abilities cannot be used , that is the ability to nullify extraordinary abilities mentioned in the arrest warrant, right?”

Seeing that Kai Xin didn’t speak, No. 12345 said cautiously: “Sister, you have always been my idol. I’m poor and unlucky, and my extraordinary ability was taken away from a believer… Oh, my real name is Cao Leyou, I’m twenty years old… …I don’t know if you have any impression of me, but I’m the idiot who posted cards.”

“Get up.” Kui Xin put down the barrel of the gun.

“Thank you, Lord Long En.” Cao Leyou wiped off his sweat, and when he stood up, he staggered and almost fell again.

He boldly glanced back at the circular stone bench behind him, this glance almost made him faint, his eyes were about to be stabbed blind by the red eyes, most of them were killed by one blow, only a bullet on the forehead The holes are drilled with great precision. He didn’t know that Kai Xin had the ability “ballistic lock”, he just thought she was a god, so amazing!

“Back off.” Kai Xin’s gaze swept to the ground, and his heart skipped a beat.

She controlled the fourteen unlucky ones to retreat, and Cao Leyou hurriedly stepped aside.

The blood that flowed down gradually gathered on the stone platform and slowly flowed into the groove. It was not obvious when there was no blood in the groove just now, but now blood-red “pigment” has been added to the groove, and the whole The graph becomes very noticeable.

That’s… double rings!

Kai Xin’s heart sank, “How much do you know about secret sects?”

“Not much, this is the second time I have participated in the rally… The last time was two weeks ago, and my identity was a new member of the secret sect.” Cao Leyou said, “I was also arrested for any sudden sacrifice this time.” I was taken aback, because in the past, seven people were directly selected, and there was no process of killing each other… This time it suddenly happened.”

“Are there many church members in this city?” Kai Xin asked.

Cao Leyou gave an ugly smile, “As far as I know, there are quite a few, and this is not the only meeting place…”

“Where are the other meeting places?” Kai Xin cut to the point.

“I don’t know about this. Ordinary believers don’t know about it. Only the big leaders who are responsible for the actions of believers in the entire city know.” Cao Leyou explained.

“Didn’t they let you drink the blood of the gods?” Kai Xin asked.

“Not everyone is qualified to drink…” Cao Leyou scratched his head, “As a new member, I don’t have the qualifications yet. You see, there were fourteen people who were designed to kill each other, and seven people could win in the end, but The old man only took out a bottle of blood… This thing is quite precious in the church.”

Kai Xin didn’t ask any more questions.

She kicked away the people on the ground, walked around the entire stone room, and finally came to the stalactite in the corner. She smelled the smell of water, and she shone a flashlight into the depths, and she could see the flowing water.

As soon as Kai Xin was about to dig the hole, Cao Leyou quickly said, “What are you doing, sister! There is no road over there, only the underground river!”

“Have you seen the murals?” Kui Xin looked back at him. “The murals painted on the walls… are very weird. They are near the underground river.”

“I didn’t go into the cave to see the side of the dark river.” Cao Leyou said nervously, “Is it necessary to see it? Can I not go see it? Or send a small drone or something to see it, anyway, it’s best not to see those things in person…”

“Why?” Kai Xin examined him.

Cao Leyou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, “Sister, I was able to survive in the secret sect not because of luck alone. Do you know what my greatest strength is? I am not curious, but I can restrain my curiosity.”

Kai Xin looked at him quietly.

“The more you know, the crazier you will be, and the closer you are to God, the less you can maintain your sanity.” Cao Leyou said with difficulty, “So I don’t listen, talk, look, think, or explore. I know, I don’t want to know anything, I can’t know! I pretended to be deaf and dumb, and turned myself into a ‘blind man’, so I kept myself and lived a good life.”

“I’ve always felt that people can’t stop people from committing suicide. I’ve already made a big death and posted my deprivation number. I can’t continue to commit suicide. You have watched so many movies and TV shows, how many are there? The protagonist died of his own curiosity, how many disasters started from human ignorance and desire to know… listen to my advice, if that thing is not important enough to make you risk your life to see it, then don’t watch it! Please don’t watch it!”

He said earnestly: “The best result of some things is to maintain the status quo, you understand, sister? I think you have experienced so much, and you must understand this truth better than me. This world is a straight road. There is no way to turn back, but before heading towards the irreversible end, we might as well stay where we are for a little longer… If staying is also an ending, then let’s stay and don’t look at the truth of the end.”
