Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

935
An hour ago, Mausoleum No. 1.

boom!
After the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, a narrow, irregular tunnel opening appeared at the edge of the underground space.Immediately afterwards, the rustling sound of cloth rubbing against the gravel on the ground came from far and near, and a man in ragged clothes and covered in blood crawled out on his knees.

He entered this vast underground space with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

This person was clearly the Extraordinary Captain of MI[-] who led the team to the mausoleum. His whole body was dripping wet, and his hair was stuck to his forehead, as if he had just climbed out of the water. There were military rank letters on his shoulders. I don’t know when the epaulette was lost.

At the same time, a large hole opened in the fabric at his knees, revealing skin that was torn by the rough ground and dripping with blood.The powerful body self-healing ability of mid-sequence extraordinary people seems to be restricted by something. Sometimes the wounds on his body heal at an extremely fast speed, and sometimes they suddenly slow down, and even cause the already formed blood scabs to crack and bleed again, always. Stay in a good but not bad state.

After struggling to get out of the narrow tunnel, he patted the dust on his body and wiped the blood off his face.

The officer reluctantly stood up holding the wall in the dark environment. He looked a little nervous, so he tidied up his appearance again, even though he looked very embarrassed no matter how he tidied it up.

Then he reached into his arms and groped for the strange bottle that answered his wish.

His fingertips touched the bottle in his arms, but he felt the sticky and cold texture that did not belong to the glass bottle first.

The surroundings were dark, but the officer seemed not to notice anything unusual about the item and directly reached out and took it out.

With his night vision ability, this item is no longer the harmless wishing glass bottle that can be seen in small shops at first - the glass bottle is actually filled with a suspicious red liquid, although The cork at the mouth of the bottle is still tightly plugged, but this small stopper seems to have been soaked through a long time ago. Even if you don't shake it, the sticky, dark red stuff will still seep out from the cracks in the bottle. It seems to be endlessly overflowing outwards.

This sealed object looked like it had been "full", and the slender piece of paper used to make a wish had been completely submerged in this bottle of terrifying red liquid.Wishes need to be written down on paper, and now it seems as if the opportunity for help has been exhausted.

However, the officer didn't seem to care at all whether there was any paper to write on. He held the bottle that was constantly flowing with sticky red liquid and whispered:
"Bright light."

It was pitch black all around, and he needed light to guide the way forward.

Of course, he is a mid-level powerhouse, and coupled with the strengthening of the body by the potion itself, he can clearly see the surrounding obstacles even in a completely dark place.But something seems to be different here now. Deep underground here, there is no light source, and at the same time, there is darkness everywhere that is so dense that it seems impossible to dissolve it.

In this place, he seemed to be blind and couldn't see anything. He could only confirm that he had arrived in a spacious and dry space by listening carefully, groping the surrounding walls, and feeling the temperature and humidity of the air here.

After a while, the light did not appear.

"Are you out of chips?" He subconsciously turned his head in this direction, with an indescribable emotion in his tone.

Although he couldn't see it, he clearly felt that the liquid in the glass bottle was slowly overflowing, flowing to his tiger's mouth, and then going down the back of his hand and between his fingers, dripping at the lowest end, leaving more liquid on the ground. A drop of what might have been blood.

This thing was warmed by the temperature of his palm. In such a quiet and tense environment, the officer could reversely feel his own pulse by holding this thing tightly, as if he was holding a still alive thing in his hand. Wen's heart fragments.

Since this item no longer met his needs, the officer casually threw the bottle on the ground.

He approached the surrounding walls and carefully touched the walls.

There doesn't seem to be any danger here, and it's quite spacious, with flat ground and relatively intact ground.while walking.He touched a raised spot on the wall, which seemed to be a candlestick on the wall, but there was no fire on him.As he walked, he counted in his mind, one, two, three... When he counted No. 13 candlesticks, he suddenly missed his footing and almost fell down!
There is actually a big hole in such an absolutely dark environment!
Did the front collapse?

He carefully stepped back and groped the wall on the other side, which also had candlesticks. When he counted No. 15, he once again reached the edge of the big hole.While he was thinking, his spiritual intuition suddenly sketched a picture:
This was originally a huge underground space, decorated like a palace.The dark and solid walls are carved with complex and mysterious patterns with no repeating areas. Long tables are placed on both sides. Various exquisite furnishings are neatly placed on the long tables on both sides with a certain gap in quantity. The floor is paved. A scarlet plush carpet embroidered with gold thread leads straight to the front.

At the front is a three-story high platform. In the center of the high platform is a huge chair that looks like it is made of a single piece of black iron.

The scarlet carpet extends to the front of the high platform, like a coronation road.

A dark shadow with an unclear face was sitting on the throne, and with each breath, the fire on the wall flickered on and off.

Witnessing the solemn scene, the officer involuntarily breathed lightly. Suddenly, the picture outlined by spiritual intuition shook violently, as if someone was attacking the underground building.

The objects on the long table shook and fell to the ground, and the objects above also fell.Immediately afterwards, the huge thunder god exploded in his mind, and the thunder penetrated the solid mausoleum layer by layer. The last thunderbolt as thick as a tree trunk directly bombarded the throne, blasting a huge hole in the ground. The majestic figure on the throne , and even the entire throne and high platform fell into the hollow!
Do not!
He shouted in his heart, took a step forward unconsciously, and suddenly fell down.

……

"There's bad news and there's good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news, Barranca, let me see how bad the current situation can be?"

"Oh, there really is nothing worse than plowing now."

The speaker paused for a moment: "The worst news is just as you thought. The entire plate of the Southern Continent has almost suffered a devastating blow. The situation on the Bailang side cannot be observed, but what is certain is that the Southern Continent Large swaths of land in the south have been directly shattered, and the territory of the Balam Empire is falling apart and becoming an archipelago close to the land."

"God said that the sea water has turned black and is polluted. The good news is that it will not spread to our side."

"The direct earthquake wave was transmitted to us at the same time that Balam was attacked. More than 7% of the houses collapsed. Only the situation in the capital was better. God happened to be inspecting another city and successfully saved most of the people there. The rest... the casualty statistics have not been released yet. It is conservatively estimated that the discomfort caused by the sudden earthquake and the collapse of the house are enough to injure the werewolves of Sequence [-]."

"So the damage to ordinary people can be imagined."

"If you don't have time to escape, you will indeed be injured. However, our rescue was carried out immediately. You see, I didn't even have time to change clothes."

"Thank you for your hard work. After the report, I will change shift with you."

"It's easy to say, it's only at this time that I feel that the 'prisoner' approach is still somewhat useful."

"It is a fault that poor medical conditions prevent the wounded from being effectively rescued temporarily. I have urgently approved that all medical resources can be used. I will take out the sealed objects of the 'Earth' path in the warehouse for use. Although reconstruction is not difficult, the residents are already enough It’s so painful.”

"Well, this is something that has been expected - Maihams? Is it you? Why don't you say anything when you pass by? Do you have time to count the number of casualties in remote areas of the highlands? Do you have time? Then what about this job? I'll leave it to you, get it out within two hours, and do some rescue work on the way. If you don't have enough manpower, you can directly use the local dead as living corpses. The highlands also have their own death culture. I believe most people don't Will refuse help from the dead."

"..." "Oh yes, you are a silent disciple, so I don't blame you. You can go and do your work."

"There is also the matter of reconstruction. There are too many things going on this year. Finally, there are only two or three days before the New Year. Can't we really give everyone a few days to live a peaceful life?"

"Our world is like this. When that guy raised the entire island as a weapon, I wasn't surprised at all."

"I heard that the ceremony was completed before Bailang was destroyed."

"Well... I can't tell which is better, dead or alive, but at present our people don't want to die that much, so we will rack our brains to maintain this place. Barranca, are you envious? ?”

There was a long silence.

"I'm not envious, but some residents are beginning to be envious. Although we have blocked the news, there are still some members of sects and schools who are under tremendous psychological pressure and tell the story about Bairam and die peacefully and painlessly. It sounds true. good."

Sigh.

"It's because there have been too many natural disasters during this period. The best psychiatrists may not know what to do when they see this situation, right? - Well, let's not talk about these frustrations. Our extraordinary abilities are suitable. Now step up It’s better to have time to rebuild.”

“It’s like having managed to farm enough to have enough food and clothing, and also have a newly built house to live in, but suddenly a natural disaster strikes, earthquakes and tsunamis destroy all the stored food, and the house built with money has not been lived in for a few days. If it collapses, everyone will definitely be desperate. But if the country repairs the house and prepares food again at this time, then people may see hope and have some courage again."

"Generally speaking, that's the case, but no one can bear the continuous blows. What's more, are you sure that those two gods won't get happy and throw us out to smash something?"

"That's really not a guarantee."

"To be honest, I originally had no idea about the power of gods, but this year I have become more and more aware of it. Perhaps the end of the New Year and the arrival of the doomsday in the prophecy are just a moment. We don't have time to do anything, and the world has already Cease to exist.”

"When did you become so pessimistic? I remember that you were not an audience for nihilism or existentialism before. You only believed in your own witchcraft and power."

"I've been quite pessimistic lately."

"Ha, haven't you noticed that Sharon and Maric performed very well during the emergency rescue? The town they are responsible for is currently one of the few that can be contacted and has maintained a certain order. I heard that Reinette has finally I’m willing to do something.”

"Your Highness Reinette...isn't he not assigned to be responsible for the area at all?"

"He went to help his students. So, I said that as long as Sharon's ideological work is done well, Reinette will definitely express her gratitude. In our school, we mainly rely on the relationship between master and apprentice to pass on. Reinette only I can help by holding my nose.”

"sounds good."

"It's because you don't have enough work to do now. Go, change your shift."

"Ah."

……

The officer kept falling, and suddenly, he fell to the ground.

Surprised that he didn't fall to death, he quickly stood up.In an instant, he saw a huge black figure directly in front of him, occupying the entire front and top of his field of vision. Compared with this figure, he seemed to be only as big as a finger.

Black shadows approached him from all directions. Without any external force, his legs weakened and he fell to his knees.

"His Majesty……"

The officer immediately realized what he saw and the identity of the person in front of him. His body was trembling. He didn't know whether it was because he was trembling in the face of the gods, or because he was trembling with excitement due to the piety in his heart, or something else. reason.

After he knelt down, the dark shadow in front of him seemed to notice his presence. A grand and indifferent sight fell from a distant height and landed on his bent back.The sight of the god seemed to have real weight, which made him dare not stand up. He did not dare to look directly at the god anymore. He could only lower his head deeper under the pressure from top to bottom and extreme obedience, letting his forehead and the cold The ground touches each other.

"Honorable, great Emperor, His Majesty the Great Emperor George III!"

He lowered his head and did not realize that after he shouted out this honorific title with all the courage in his spine, the tall black figure opposite him twisted.

Unaware of it, he pressed his forehead against the cold stone slab and continued shouting:

"Our country has been controlled by the church. The church has all the right to interpret and speak. They bypassed the country, parliament, and your wishes and directly introduced the Church of the Mother Earth, which caused Loen to suffer a lot of losses in the previous war. , and spend a lot of time and money maintaining relations with the Lomborg countries, maintaining the absolute authority of the church, and doing everything possible to reduce the existence of you and the royal power!"

"Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, our country has become the property of the church, and your subjects have become believers in the God of Thunder and Truth; people no longer fear the law, but regard the church's holy scriptures and precepts as the only norms!"

"It all started when you were restricted by the God of Thunder and Truth - you are not dead, you are the orthodox emperor, but you are imprisoned in the mausoleum. The Church of Thunder has purged a large number of nobles and royal members, and now..."

Before he could finish what was in his heart, he heard the god's cold and heavy snort, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.

This may be anger, or impatience. He has no way of judging the thoughts of the gods. An ordinary mid-level Extraordinary who has never entered the palace and has never received an order from George III does not dare to guess the emperor's thoughts.

"I will leave here and take back the country."

"I need you as the key to get out of here."

The officer was silent for a long time, and finally kowtowed heavily:

"Follow His Majesty's orders."
