Chapter 117: What exactly is hidden behind that door?

What exactly is hidden behind that door?

Stepping into the void had almost become a daily routine for Cheng Shi.

When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was a building exactly the same as the Eternal Church.

It was just that the color scheme was completely different.

The pitch-black walls were covered with crimson full moons, and blood-colored pigment dripped along the walls, drawing eerie "strings."

In the void, there was actually... a church!?

Cheng Shi was shocked. He widened his eyes and looked forward, discovering that the church door was wide open, door fragments were scattered all over the ground, and there was a mess before his eyes.

Clearly, a great battle had taken place here as well.

Cheng Shi first cast a Healing Spell on himself, then took off his clothes, wiped the blood off the soles of his feet, and walked into the church step by step, cautiously following the footprints on the ground.

Just as he passed through that broken door, he saw birdcages scattered all over the ground on the right side of the church.

Likely affected by the battle just now, each birdcage was twisted and deformed, and bird droppings, feathers, and feed were scattered all over the ground, faintly emitting a rotten smell.

"Black feathers... could it be......"

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, bent down to pick up a few grains of feed, and tasted them.

The taste was very poor, at least worse than the bird food at Sha Man's house.

He spat out the residue in his mouth and continued walking inside.

The church hall was very large, but there were no tables or chairs. On the ground here, white circles were drawn one after another, and in each circle was a pair of shackles, looking like some kind of gathering place for prisoners.

Walking further in, to the very front of the church, on a table with a lame leg, Cheng Shi discovered a small booklet that had been flipped until it was tattered.

The booklet was full of dust, looking like it hadn't been flipped through for a long time.

He first used a Purification Spell to purify the pages, then picked it up, opened it, and read aloud:

"·Far-Dusk Town Sightseeing Notice:

1. Obey local laws, it is forbidden to harm local residents......

2. When you need help, please go to the Traveler Affairs Bureau......

......"

Reading halfway, Cheng Shi felt he didn't need to continue reading.

He thought of a person.

That black-hearted tour guide who only existed in the mouths of every traveler.

"Interesting......

Tour guide?

So this is not the exit of Far-Dusk Town, but the entrance to the town?"

He looked at those circles on the hall floor.

"We... are the ones who paid to 'get on the bus' here?"

Cheng Shi dropped the booklet and continued inside.

After bypassing a huge blood moon portrait at the very front of the church hall, there were two doors, one on the left and one on the right.

Cheng Shi stood in front of the doors and observed for a moment, discovering that the door handle on the left had more signs of being turned, and the right had fewer.

So he chose the left, pushed open the door, and walked in.

But having only taken half a step, Cheng Shi pulled his foot back with a livid face.

Because he discovered there was no path to walk behind the door at all!

The moment the door was pushed open, a stench like rotting meat piled up for hundreds of years rushed toward his face, pouring straight into Cheng Shi's nasal cavity, causing his throat to move slightly.

"Gulp......"

Don't misunderstand, this couldn't be from hunger......

The pungent stench made Cheng Shi's eyes turn red. He held his breath and squinted forward, only to see that behind the door was not a room at all, but a huge, natural giant cave that hadn't been chiseled by any human labor.

At this moment, his feet were stepping on the edge of that giant cave.

Even if he walked one more centimeter forward, Cheng Shi's foot would extend past the edge of the cliff, step into the void, and fall into it.

Looking down along the cliff, one could see that beneath this pitch-black giant cave, the source of this sky-high stench was covered with countless complete, incomplete, rotten, fresh......

human corpses!

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and the hand holding the door handle tightened abruptly.

Corpse pit!

This was actually a huge corpse pit!

Looking at the style of the clothes on the corpses, it was easy to determine that these rotten corpses were clearly residents of Far-Dusk Town, and also......

the town's travelers!

Everyone who died in Far-Dusk Town was transported here and thrown into the giant pit.

"Heh, so that's how purification is purified, and that's how burial is buried."

Cheng Shi sneered and closed the door.

"It seems our tour guide has another identity......"

He wiped his hands and turned to walk toward the door on the right.

The moment he pushed open the door, Cheng Shi smiled.

Because in front of him, three people were confronting each other with solemn expressions. It looked like everyone had suffered not-so-light injuries.

The two not far in front were naturally the Ranger and the Warrior, and their states were not very good.

Ji Ran's right shoulder hung powerlessly, and there was a huge laceration on his shoulder visible to the naked eye, deep to the bone.

He gasped for air, staring tightly at the two in front of him, not even daring to turn his head to look when hearing Cheng Shi's voice.

The Ranger was the same.

Her suit could no longer bear the burden and shattered into cloth strips. The longbow made of clock hands was stuck in her own stomach for some reason, piercing through her body.

The small hand transformed from the breeze was covering the wound for her, but it still couldn't stop the blood from surging and dripping.

As for the stranger directly opposite, wearing a black hooded robe......

Presumably, there was no need to say much about his identity.

Last night, the three of Cheng Shi were chasing behind his butt, eating dust all night.

His state was also very poor, but far better than the Ranger and the Warrior.

Half of his black robe was shattered, revealing his withered thighs, which were covered in wounds, and there was even a terrifying crack extending straight from his knee to his lower abdomen.

Cheng Shi only took one look and guessed from what angle Ji Ran had slashed this ruthless blow.

He subconsciously clamped his legs and shivered.

However, soon, Cheng Shi noticed something special.

Beneath the wounds of the black-robed person, he actually didn't feel the overflowing power of 【Decay】.

And this meant that the black-robed person in front of him wasn't actually a person at all!

He was likely a puppet!

A puppet full of flesh and blood!

The two and the puppet confronted each other silently like this. The atmosphere on the field seemed to have reached a critical point, forming a delicate balance.

Any slight change could lead to another bloody battle of life and death, and the party that caused the change would definitely be the first to reveal flaws and become the target of the other two's joint attack.

And coincidentally at this time, Cheng Shi arrived.

So Cheng Shi smiled.

He saw the situation on the scene, so he decided......

to bypass them.

He saw another door behind the black-robed person, and he was also guarding that door, so all the answers were behind that door.

Without a doubt, the three people on the scene had also collided here for this reason.

But strangely, where was Hu Xuan?

Where did Hu Xuan, who had entered a step earlier, go?

Cheng Shi frowned and lifted his foot to walk inside.

"Yo, quite lively, playing Landlord?"

He laughed loudly, walked into the room, and leaned toward the Ranger.

The light of healing surged at his fingertips, but he didn't dare to pour it directly into the Ranger.

Because that would break this balance.

So he could only operate delicately while walking, evenly applying this touch of healing light onto Li Bola's body.

Letting her aura rise steadily without affecting the balance of the confrontation.

Li Bola felt it; she was very grateful but didn't dare to move.

Because Cheng Shi's behavior was very risky!

It was very likely that he would accidentally destroy the delicate balance between the three, involve himself, and even become the side with all flaws exposed, being attacked first by the other two.

Therefore, he was almost risking his life again, just like outside the church earlier.

Having such a healer who would risk his life for his teammates, Li Bola was filled with relief and secretly felt lucky.

But she didn't feel optimistic about the situation of Cheng Shi coming to the rescue.

Leaving aside the warrior of 【Fate】, the black-robed person alone was a huge trouble.

He was far stronger than she had imagined.

But unfortunately, at this moment, she couldn't open her mouth to remind Cheng Shi.

Because once she opened her mouth, the balance would also be broken! ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
