Chapter 519 Found You
Chapter 519 I found you!
It was late at night, and the whole city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. The cool autumn wind made the alley in the dark even more desolate.
The road surface of this alley was simply sprinkled with some gravel, and there was turbid water from time to time, but this was nothing to Li Si.
He now had dark vision and could see clearly even without lights.
Although he seemed to be strolling around, Li Si kept using his mental power to explore the surrounding environment, especially for underground areas.
The high-level earth element affinity expertise allowed his mental power to easily penetrate the soil with almost no loss.
The base of the evil god believer was likely to be in an underground secret room somewhere.
From the information learned from the conversation with the clergy of the Church of the Suffering God just now, if there was only one evil god believer, Li Si guessed that the evil god believer was very likely to pray to the evil god for power through the life sacrifice ceremony.
After all, the other party was only one person, and it was okay to hide himself, but it would be too difficult to do something big in secret.
The evil god believers are just reckless, not idiots.
It is impossible for them to think of destroying the entire Cuifeng City when they are so far outnumbered by the Kingdom and the Church of the Gods.
Where will they hide?
Li Si casually wandered on the quiet and deserted streets, searching every place around him with his mental power.
According to the intelligence in hand, people have disappeared recently, but perhaps because the extraordinary professionals of the government and the church have discovered and started investigating, the number of missing people has increased significantly compared to before.
But it did not stop!
In other words, the evil god believer did not stop his sacrifice, and did not give up even in the face of such a strong search.
This shows that the evil god believer who was making trouble on Wright Street was very crazy, and he dared to deal with the clergy of the Church of the Gods alone.
At the same time, it also shows that the evil god believer was quite confident in his ability to hide his whereabouts.
This is indeed the case. It has been a week since many residents of Wright Street were found to be missing, and the Church of the Suffering God has been involved in the investigation for several days.
Except for the two basements where the life sacrifice ceremony took place, there are no more valuable tablets.
Even the traces of the sacrifice pointing to the evil god were erased. This evil god believer was very cautious.
He was so confident in himself, but he would carefully erase the traces, not wanting the Church of the Gods to discover the evil god he believed in.
It seems that the object of the other party's sacrifice is very important!
Li Si tried his best to guess the thoughts of the evil god believer through the intelligence he had already mastered, and slowly he felt that he had touched some clues.
There was no way, he had experienced too many similar things in his previous life.
Although he had not heard of what happened in Cuifeng City in his previous life, it seemed that the evil god believers had almost the same style of behavior.
Li Si felt the traces of wind and rain on the surrounding walls, but his mind was working fast.
It is very likely that the two basements and the traces of the life sacrifice ceremony that were discovered were deliberately discovered by the evil god believer to the Church of the Gods.
Why did he do this?
To divert attention?
If those basements were prepared in advance by the evil god believers, it means that the evil god believers were quite comfortable and well prepared.
Is it related to the evil god?
Li Si was a little uncertain and shook his head slightly.
There are too many possibilities, so we have to change the direction.
After countless years of tit-for-tat, the Church of the Gods and the evil god believers actually know each other quite well.
Under the vigorous pursuit of the Church of the God of Suffering, he has not been exposed, and he is even continuing the sacrifice ceremony. The secret ability of the evil god believer is quite strong.
Although Cuifeng City is an important trade hub of the Gordon Kingdom, the power of the Church of the Gods here will not be strengthened much.
At least, there will be no legendary combat power of the Church of the Gods in Cuifeng City.
Similarly, the evil god believer should also be a gold-level existence.
No matter how strong he is, he doesn't need to perform the life sacrifice ceremony in such a covert way.
If he is weaker, it is impossible to hide for too long under the search of the gold-level professionals of the Church of the God of Suffering.
Even so, it is quite difficult to hide for so long.
Among the many special abilities, some can really do this.
Spatial ability, shadow power, illusion, etc.
So, the evil god believer is likely to use the two abandoned basements to cover up his real hiding method.
In this case, it's not a coincidence!
Li Si clapped his hands, full of energy.
He is good at all these methods.
And he is more confident than the evil god believer!
Let's get started!
In the secret room,
Brett Costello casually threw two girls in simple clothes at his feet and sat on the ground casually.
In this dark basement, the dirty blood that almost merged with the darkness flowed quietly on the cold ground, and the fishy smell of blood filled the small secret room.
The runes composed of dark gray lines on the wall were like eyes hidden in the darkness, flickering slightly, exuding a chilling breath.
They seemed to have an extreme desire for life and blood, like a hungry beast greedily staring at the two girls who had fainted on the ground.
The air was still filled with a suffocating malice, which seemed to emanate from the dirty blood and dark gray runes, intertwining with each other to form an indescribable horror.
Brett didn't care about the unbearable environment for ordinary people, and even enjoyed it a little.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, watching the dirty blood on the ground turn into blood snakes, entwined around the two girls, greedily sucking the life force.
"It's a bit troublesome~"
Brett frowned slightly and shook his head.
Before, everything went as he planned. He could sense that two of the three secret rooms arranged in advance had been discovered, and the clergy of the Church of the Gods did not suspect anything.
At least, it's still a long way for the other party to find him now.
But at the same time, he also encountered a problem.
That is, the determination of these clergy to track him down was too strong.
"Damn the Church of the Suffering God!"
Brett's somewhat old face showed a trace of hostility, and he said angrily.
He could foresee that with so many residents missing in the Light District of Green Wind City, the Church of the Gods would definitely take it very seriously.
But I never thought that the Church of the God of Suffering would take it so seriously.
The Church of the God of Suffering in Green Wind City has a total of three gold-level professionals, namely the gold-level priest Zolf who is the bishop, and two gold-level paladins.
Now all three gold-level clergymen are staying in the Light District, leading the team to find his trace.
Although the arrangements made in advance prevented this secret room from being discovered in a short time, this decision of the Church of the God of Suffering also made Brett cautious when he went out, fearing that he would be discovered by the other party.
It was also because of this that Brett's speed of controlling the removal of residents dropped significantly. The ritual that could be completed in half a month may even take up to a month under the current situation.
The longer the time is delayed, the more dangerous the situation will be!
"Damn it!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will attack the cathedral?"
Brett stared at the two girls who were gradually being devoured in front of him, and cursed angrily.
Generally speaking, even if it is to attack the followers of the evil god, the Church of the Gods cannot be mobilized in full force.
After all, if the church, which is the foundation, is attacked or even destroyed, it will be a heavy blow to the prestige of the church.
But the Church of the Suffering God is like this, otherwise it would not be respected by so many people.
For Brett, it is quite helpless to encounter a church like the Church of the Suffering God that does not play by the rules.
As for attacking the church of the Suffering God Church, Brett can only think about it.
It is known without guessing that it is one of the most heavily guarded places in the church. At least with his strength, it is basically impossible to break through in a short time.
As long as it is delayed until the golden-level clergy come back, Brett will not be able to leave even if he wants to.
"Wait, wait until I break through and become a legend, and then settle this account with you."
Brett thought about it and gave up the idea of taking risks and trying other methods.
It is undoubtedly the safest in a tightly arranged secret room.
The longer it takes to collect sacrifices, the longer it takes. If you act rashly and are discovered by those clergy, it will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Brett habitually raised his head and murmured devoutly:
"Lord Mask, the humble believer offers you the most sincere prayer~
You are the supreme being walking on the edge of light and darkness, leading us through the curtain of the dark night with endless wisdom~
You cover my tracks and help me avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy~
Under your guidance, we search for treasures in the dark and take what I want silently~
Lord Mask~
You are the protector of thieves and the king in the shadows~
I beg you to give me more powerful power, may your divine power be with me, witness my loyalty and faith in you~
Lord Mask~
May your shadow eyes always illuminate my way forward!
Wish."
Just as Brett was praying routinely, something strange happened.
A dull roar broke the silence, and the entire ceiling of the secret room was as if gently lifted by an invisible hand, revealing the starry night sky above.
The darkness that originally shrouded the secret room dissipated in an instant, and the sparse starlight was like fine silver sand, scattered in this claustrophobic space.
This sudden light not only dispelled the haze in the room, but also ruthlessly revealed everything hidden in the secret room.
In Brett's shocked eyes, a gorgeously dressed teenager holding a magic wand emitting magical aura floated in the air and looked down at him.
"Found you!"
Li Si looked at the small secret room below and breathed a sigh of relief.
This late night effort was not in vain!
The scene in the secret room in front of him was shocking, and the strong smell of blood seemed to solidify into substance.
On the ground, mottled bloodstains intertwined into shocking pictures, telling the horror that had happened here. Under the shining of the stars, those bloody and tragic scenes were nowhere to be hidden, and every detail was clearly outlined, enough to drive ordinary people crazy in an instant.
This sudden change made the secret room seem to be pulled back to the real world from a forgotten corner.
Noticing the strange dark gray lines on the walls of the secret room and the terrifying deep breath, Li Si understood.
Mask, the God of Thieves!
It turned out to be a believer of this.
Mask, the God of Thieves, is a very ancient god with weak divine power. His divine domains are [Shadow], [Thief] and [Theft]. He is also known as [King of Shadows] and [Lord of Thieves].
Mask is a confident and scheming god. He likes to plan all kinds of secret conspiracies, although his plans always put himself in danger.
Mask, the God of Thieves, is both alert and cold. He has never lost control of his emotions, and always speaks with sarcasm and mockery. And Mask's appearance is always changing, so no one has ever known his true face. He often wears a bronze armor and cloak that completely hides his appearance.
Mask's hobby of conspiracy and theft not only made him lose many allies, but also made him lose a lot of power.
In a major turmoil in the Gaia world, the King of Shadows disguised himself as the God-killing Sword, and Cyric, who was still a mortal at the time, used this sword to kill Baal, the God of Murder at the time.
After that, he sold the phantom goddess Lyra to Cyric, allowing him to take the [Phantom] priesthood. But when Cyric realized all this, Mask was backfired by the complex conspiracy he had planned. This mistake almost destroyed him and allowed Cyric to take away his most important [Phantom] priesthood.
In a sense, Mask, the god of thieves, played a crucial role in the rise of [Prince of Lies] Cyric.
What an unlucky guy!
Since then, Mask hated Cyric for taking away his priesthood, and was always planning to take back what originally belonged to him.
But Cyric had become a powerful divine being, and Mask could only try his best to hide and accumulate strength.
Although he lost the [Phantom] priesthood, Mask, who possessed the [Shadow] priesthood, was still powerful in some aspects.
As his believer, no wonder he could hide so well and completely escape the search of the Church of the Gods.
Moreover, the hiding place of this evil god believer in front of him was not within the scope of the Wright Street District, but in the nearby Hart Street District.
Li Si was trying his best to use various means and methods to confirm that it was impossible for anyone in the Wright Street District to hide through the power of space, shadows, illusions, etc., and then he tried to explore other areas.
Unexpectedly, his luck was quite good, and he soon found Brett who was praying to the God of Thieves.
Hearing Li Si's voice, Brett's brain was instantly confused.
How could it be possible, how could someone find this place?
Brett couldn't believe it. This was a shelter he built with the power bestowed by the gods. The young man in front of him was definitely not a legend. How could he find this place?
The moment he was discovered, Brett knew that his plan had completely failed this time.
The most important thing was to suppress the crazy anger in his heart and leave quickly.
Otherwise, if the hounds of the Church of the God of Suffering chased after him later, it would be a big trouble!
"Although I don't know how you found this place"
Brett slowly pulled out a dagger flashing with cold light, and the dark gray shadow power gradually spread throughout the dagger. The originally sharp dagger seemed to disappear in the dark night without a trace.
He stared at Li Si in midair and said in a deep voice:
"He's just a mage. If you leave now, it's still not too late!"
Li Si smiled and looked down at Brett, whose momentum was rising. He looked a little scary in the pool of blood.
"Is that so?"
"Then I really want to try it!"
