Plague Doctor

The vertical iron stairs that go down continuously go deep into the ground.

Relying on the flickering light from a head-mounted flashlight in Gu Jun's backpack, he could vaguely see the dark and narrow surroundings.

There are only two hours left in the countdown.

Gu Jun, Yu Chi, Kezia Mason, and the calico cat have been going down the stairs for nearly two hours. They have been calculating the depth, which is already more than a thousand meters underground. My body was already exhausted, but the iron staircase I was holding on to seemed endless.

The oxygen should become thinner as you go underground, but they didn't notice this change. I don't know if it's because of the dimension or the abnormal power here.

Another situation is that the previous step on the ground that could shorten a long distance did not happen here.

In this environment, people are prone to the Ganzfeld effect.

For a few moments, Gu Jun seemed to see a hallucination flashing through, or maybe it was not a hallucination, but the phantom of another world, and the locust team flew towards the city...

Yu Chi has long been interested in something. The faint light reflects the carvings on the concrete wall, and the many fine lines look like they form strange locusts. Ceremonies often require environmental arrangements, of which these may be part.

"Meow?" At this time, the calico cat suddenly meowed suspiciously, sounding a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jun asked. It became more difficult to communicate with the cat down here.

But the meow caused the three of them to stop temporarily.

The next moment, the entire iron staircase began to shake, and the shaking quickly became violent. Yu Chi exclaimed: "Hold on!" The three of them grasped the iron ladder with both hands and leaned on it, while the variegated cat While holding Gu Jun's neck with both paws, he hooked the iron ladder with his tail.

There seems to be an endless abyss below. If you fall into it, you may be shattered into pieces.

"Well..." Kezia Mason gritted her teeth with difficulty.

Gu Jun understood that if she really didn't have that kind of witch power now, the current situation would be very difficult for her.

Unlike them, she had the strength of an adult man and had no military training. Instead, she was a rich girl from the 17th century. Perhaps the most tiring thing she ever did was dance at a social dinner, and she also spent time in jail.

But he still didn't relax his vigilance against her, and the witch's power was still missing.

Is it possessed by Kezia Mason? Even she doesn't know it, but she will be controlled by her future self at any time.

After a minute, the shaking showed no signs of stopping, and became more and more intense. Even the walls and the ground were shaking, as if something was about to rush up from below.

"Meow, meow!" the colorful cat cried out hurriedly again, and things took a new turn.

Although there are still two hours left in the countdown, this is just a deadline of unknown origin, and no one can guarantee that nothing will happen before the deadline.

"Keep going!" Gu Jun shouted, "We must continue, this shaking will not stop."

Because Kezia Mason was the first to go down, they could not move unless she went down. However, she climbed down several steps with difficulty, almost losing her grip and falling down almost every step. At this time, Gu Jun missed Xue Ba. With Captain Xue's size, it would be no problem to carry Mason down, but he could only carry one cat.

"My arms are shaking..." Kezia Mason's voice is also shaking, "I can't hold on anymore..."

"Miss Mason, use your courage and hold on for a while." Gu Jun said immediately, "I can already see the ground, it's not far away!"

This is just his lie, just like a doctor telling a patient to hold on a little longer, it will be over soon, it will be over soon.

When he looked down, he could only see a darkness that could not penetrate the light.

He didn't know how much strength these words gave Kezia Mason to persevere, but the girl was still able to walk steadily without falling. This made him wonder whether this weakness and weakness was her disguise. You know, even he himself is about to suffer a lot.

"Gu Captain, we still have to take a break..." Yu Chi gasped, "the stairs from last time."

Yu Chi didn't tell the whole story, but Gu Jun understood that it was he who told Yu Chi about the stairs in the library of Nacht City.

Is this a trap? Let them be exhausted first. There is something guarding down there...

Is this their creation, or is it the way things are...

"But we are hanging here and there is no way to rest." Gu Jun said helplessly, "If you stop for a long time, you will lose strength, so let's go all out."

"That's right." Yu Chi agreed, but became even more anxious.

As expected, the shaking did not stop, and they could only continue like this. Each level was more difficult than the previous one.

More than half an hour later, this time Gu Jun did see the hazy underground. It was a flat passage and no one could be seen.

"Hold on a little longer and we'll be there!"

This time, Kezia Mason responded hoarsely: "Sir... you have said this for the tenth time..."

But when she, Yu Chi and the variegated cat looked down, they could see the difference, so they mustered up new energy and continued going down.

Bang, bang, not long after, the three of them fell to the ground at the entrance of the passage one after another. They all collapsed on the ground for a while, and it was difficult to move their fingers.

"Meow..." The variegated cat also landed firmly, stood firm, and raised its tail, but she looked at the three people on the ground with envy. That was the state she should have been in.

There may not be many followers of the Locust God left, so all the people are concentrated

Over at the altar, they didn't expect anyone to come in. There was no defense here. There are eight identical intersections on all sides of this intersection, all illuminated by weird-shaped electric lights on the wall. The three-meter-wide road is flat and extends in, like a maze.

The shaking continued, and the three of them waited for a while before they could stand up again.

The two grown men didn't know how the girl was actually doing. They only knew that she was about to fall apart.

"Which way should we go?" Yu Chi scratched his head and looked around, "Which intersection leads to the altar? Or is this the altar?"

"Are we really powerful enough to destroy this place?" Gu Jun frowned and said, no one could answer him.

This is not a small place, it seems to be an underground city.

Moreover, the evil believers in Angel City not only have abnormal powers, they also have thermal weapons, including all kinds of guns and cannons.

However, they are unarmed and exhausted. The journey they have made all the way to this point is more like leading to their own destiny than changing anything.

"Meow." The variegated cat raised its paw and pointed to an intersection, then pointed to the alphabet, and said: "I feel it is over there, and I seem to hear some sounds. Let me open the way. I am small and light-footed. , not easy to be found, and still has nine lives.”
