MMB Chapter 195 The Mysterious Underground Passage
Chapter 195 The Mysterious Underground Passage
The golden light was dazzling.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, staring at the figure that condensed from the crystal.
The figure's outline was blurry, and the facial features were indistinct, but the golden pupils were unusually clear.
It has the same golden pupil as the Eye of Divine Punishment on the dome just now.
Lin Fan took a half step back, and the black scales instinctively spread to his forearm, preparing for any potential danger.
However, the golden figure on the other side did not attack.
The other person just stood there watching him.
"disaster……"
After a while, the figure suddenly said something inexplicably.
Moreover, the voice was very strange, as if it had no gender distinction, like many people talking at the same time, or like it was coming from a very far place.
"You are... cursed..."
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.
Can this thing reveal his talent?
"wrong."
However, the figure quickly shook its head, its golden pupils flashing intensely.
"It's not just calamity...you also have..."
It stopped.
Golden pupils stared directly into Lin Fan's eyes, their depths churning with an emotion too complex to discern.
"What else?" Lin Fan frowned.
"……eternal life……"
The figure's voice became urgent.
"Dying and coming back to life, dying and coming back to life—why do you have such a thing? This shouldn't exist..."
However, it stopped abruptly halfway through its sentence.
It was as if she had thought of something, or as if she had just remembered something.
The figure began to stir restlessly, and the golden light around it flickered.
As Lin Fan watched this scene, he felt both wary and a strange feeling rising within him.
The thing that emerged from the crystal didn't simply look like a weapon made by the Vatican.
It has self-awareness.
Moreover, it seems to know something about his talent.
"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked directly.
The golden figure froze.
Those golden eyes looked at Lin Fan and opened their mouths.
then……
"I……"
It fell silent...
"I have no idea."
Lin Fan: "..."
no……
You've been talking to me for ages, and in the end you're just playing the amnesia trope on me?
"You spoke so eloquently, analyzing things about me quite skillfully, but you don't even know who you are?"
The golden figure did not answer the question.
Its pupils were constantly changing, as if it was desperately searching for some fragment of memory.
"I remember light... lots of light."
It whispered,
"I remember people praying. People calling out. But I don't remember who they were calling out to."
"I don't remember... why I'm here."
Lin Fan glanced at the giant crystal, then looked at the tens of thousands of skeletons pierced by golden chains around him.
"Are you connected to this crystal?"
"Crystal?"
The golden figure turned to look at the giant, suspended crystal and remained silent for a moment.
"This is... a cage."
"Should I be locked in a cage? Or theirs?"
It looked at the skeletons, then shook its head.
"I can't tell the difference."
Listening to the other person's rambling words, Lin Fan was not only not enlightened, but even more confused.
Does this thing even know what it's saying?
He could clearly sense that the thing opposite him was conscious and had thoughts, but it just wouldn't speak human language!
"you--"
Lin Fan was just about to speak.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled.
At the same time, a powerful and unfamiliar spiritual force swept in without warning.
That spiritual energy had no direction, no source; it seemed to surge in from all directions simultaneously, overwhelming and penetrating everywhere.
Lin Fan's mind felt like it had been nailed to the head with an iron nail.
"Ho—"
He groaned, utterly horrified.
However, what shocked him even more was that the golden figure actually... the instant the spirit appeared.
Blasted.
It wasn't that kind of explosion.
But...
It was as if some kind of extreme fear had caused mental confusion in my ears.
"No!!!"
After letting out a sharp scream, the golden figure transformed into countless golden specks of light and vanished without a trace.
This is fucking...
Did they run away?
Faster than a rabbit.
Lin Fan didn't have time to think about this question, because that spiritual power had already completely flooded into his mind.
In an instant, he felt as if his brain was being grabbed and kneaded and squeezed...
One, two...
That would be a death sentence!
"Big crow!"
Lin Fan could no longer restrain himself and summoned the Great Crow within his mental space.
The crow's response was almost instantaneous.
A black mental barrier opened up from within, enveloping his consciousness.
The incoming spiritual energy crashed into the Great Crow's barrier and was forcefully blocked.
Although the external spiritual force was blocked, Lin Fan, who resonated with the spirit of the Great Crow, could sense that the Great Crow was also suffering at this moment.
He could sense that Da Wu was under unprecedented pressure.
All those tens of thousands of eyeballs opened at that moment and began to twitch wildly.
"underground……"
Just then, Da Wu's voice rang out in his mind, carrying an extremely rare panic.
"There's something... Don't go... Run..."
Which direction?
Which direction?
Lin Fan was speechless at Da Wu's expression.
But he still leaned against the wall, and subconsciously glanced at the long corridor behind him...
The entire corridor, besides leading to the stairs I came down from, also leads in another direction.
When he came down, he was so focused on observing the energy emanating from the area that he completely ignored that direction.
And now, looking once again into the darkness at the end of the passage...
It felt as if something was spying on me from there.
He felt completely exposed in the face of that spiritual power.
This feeling was very unpleasant, and even vaguely familiar to him...
Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly.
I remembered.
This damned sense of familiarity—isn't it the same aura I felt when my consciousness fell into that pitch-black space?
at the same time,
Beside him, Aretas IV was also trembling under the pressure of this sudden mental force.
No, it wasn't just trembling; even the eerie green soul flames on his body were shaking violently.
Like a flickering candle in the wind.
It looks like it could go out at any moment.
"What is that...?"
Aretas's voice was dry.
"I have been imprisoned underground for a thousand years... and I have always been able to sense it."
"It never moves."
"But it remained awake."
"You're asking me?"
Hearing what the other person said, Lin Fan rolled his eyes. He also wanted to know what that thing was.
But now, no one can answer his question.
Don't stay here for long!
In an instant, Lin Fan made a decision and immediately left the doorway without hesitation, running back to the passage he had come from.
It's unclear whether the spiritual power was confined underground or for some other reason.
As Lin Fan ran into the passage below, his mental energy suddenly contracted.
Like the tide receding.
The entire passageway returned to silence.
His mind also became clear.
It's bizarre, absolutely bizarre!
He stared at the dark passageway outside the exit, his mind racing.
The Holy Light energy of the Vatican originates from a crystal. Within the crystal is a being with amnesiac golden eyes. And deeper within the crystal lies something that could terrify the being with golden eyes to the point of losing its soul.
This thing is very likely related to the dark space where he paused after each death.
It is also highly likely that it is related to those guys who impersonated angels back then.
No, what exactly is the Vatican worshipping?
Why are there so many troubles?
"Big Crow".
Lin Fan spoke in his mind.
"Can you sense what's in that direction?"
The big crow remained silent for a long time.
Then, it said something that sent chills down Lin Fan's spine.
"I don't know him."
"But it can kill me."
