Star Marriage

Chapter 25

Duer's slender wrist was covered with bloodstains, and the stench was constantly emitting from his body, which made the three of them, including Yoshiaki, frown.

Akira couldn't understand how the grandparents and grandson, who seemed impossible to own transportation, appeared outside the city of Burroughs.

There must be fate to meet, if something happened to the old woman who had chatted with him, he must take care of it.

Duer drank a pot of water and quickly wiped out the adult's usual dry food for two meals, and only a little light appeared on his gloomy little face.

"You little guy lives like a camel in the desert. How many days does one meal last?"

Ignoring Jiade's joke, Dole looked at Yuhuang very intently, "Brother, good man, will you save grandma?"

Duer's scorched yellow hair was covered with lumps of dirt, and his big black eyes had never been so bright. This kind of brightness showed that he had pinned all his hopes on the body in front of him.

Liaohuang is very strange, what made this child who is less than ten years old show such trust in his eyes?

"Why do you think that as long as I want to save people, I can do it? Maybe I can't do anything with good intentions?"

The swaying question is equally absurd in the eyes of Jia De and Xiao Ding.The two looked at each other and said nothing, but at the same time, they both read the trust in their leader in each other's eyes, and said in their hearts, "If what you want to do can't be done, we will really hit the wall to die It's over." In their eyes, there is nothing they can't do.

Different from the trust that Xiao Ding and Jia De have honed through years of being together with Liu Huang, Duer replied very confidently: "Because grandma said so."

"Grandma also said, this piece of sheepskin is for you." Duer pulled out a small piece of camel sheepskin that was still warm from the body part of the clothes.

Akira wouldn't naively think that this was a treasure map or something, but he frowned because of it.He subconsciously reached out to pick up the piece of sheepskin, but Duer suddenly pulled the thing away and said with a very serious expression: "Help me rescue grandma, this is for you."

Because the child's seriousness and treasured things looked so absurd together, Akira laughed at himself.He can save people, but it has nothing to do with the unknown sheepskin.

It was already evening when he entered the city of Buchar, and from Duer, Akira knew the story of his departure from the small hut.It sounds like the unknown grandma and Duer suffered a catastrophe in the middle of the night, which is inseparable from the visit of the three of them last night.That being the case, he will not stay out of it.

Last night, after Lianhuang and the others left, the old grandma and Dole were covered with a black cloth over their heads, their hands were tied with chains, and they were pushed into a small box indiscriminately.

Dole, who was wandering all the way and had never traveled long distances in a flying box, naturally vomited in a mess.The frail granny was also in bad shape.

Moreover, the flying box carrying them was obviously the worst cage, surrounded by cold iron bars, and the damaged planks trembled in the night wind, unable to block the cold at all, even the small shed where they usually huddled up house is not as good as.

They were taken to a dark room overnight, surrounded by cold and damp, the sound of rats grinding their teeth accompanied by howling cold wind filled the entire room.

When Duer, who was fainted from vomiting, opened his eyes, he saw grandma's smiling face. Although they were imprisoned and everything looked so hopeless, Duer's grandma was still smiling.

Grandma, who seemed to be extremely weak, had already gotten rid of the chains when Duer woke up.

Duer couldn't explain how he was able to break free from the cold and heavy chains. He only remembered that grandma gently twisted the shackles on his hands with the piece of sheepskin, and the shackles snapped open.

Later, what Doer's grandma explained was what Liaohuang knew before listening to the story.Then, Dole cried bitterly, and under the serious education of his grandma, he decided to take on the responsibility of being a "man", and only then managed to escape from the sewer and through the foul-smelling cesspool.

"Are you arrested because of our visit?" This is Akira's guess.

Apparently, Duer's grandma didn't say this question, and Duer didn't know how to answer it, so he shook his head in a daze.

"Do you know where your grandma is?"

This time Dole nodded very firmly.

I wanted to arrange for the local Public Security Bureau to come forward and use the fake identity given to him by Xiang Jingtao, the commander-in-chief of the National Security Bureau.But Doerr's next words made him change his mind.

"Before I escaped, I overheard them talking, saying that a secret ceremony would be held in the underground of the Advent Tower at night, and grandma was the living sacrifice for that ceremony."

The Jiangshen Tower is Qi's religious holy place, who would choose to host the ceremony there?Although it is underground, there is no guarantee that it will be separated from the local government.

"Human sacrifice?" Lie Huang was asking Xiao Ding, who had been tinkering with Qi Xing's religious books along the way.

"This is illegal. After the magicians rebelled hundreds of years ago, the prohibition of using living people as sacrifices was listed in the law code." Xiao Ding said very firmly.

That being the case, Yoko put on a black cloak and decided to check it out for himself.

The three of them sent Dole back to the hotel and asked Shirley to accompany him, but Shirley's noble lady wrinkled her nose as soon as she arrived at Dole's side, and fled away extremely quickly and disgustedly. It became a mask to cover the mouth and nose, and all expressions were complaining: "This kid is too smelly, how can I let Miss Ben stay with him!"

Helpless, they could only put Shirley in the backpack and let Duer wait in the hotel alone.

…………

It is impossible for all the thieves in the world to sneak into the Advent Tower, which is brightly lit all the time. All-round electronic monitoring and a guard of up to a hundred people densely surround this straight high platform that is unoccupied all year round. Not even the tiniest bluefly can get in.

But this kind of all-round monitoring is useless in the eyes of Yuhuang and Xiaoding.The palm-sized and square miniature signal jamming device in Xiaoding's hand is enough to turn all the electronic eyes into "dead fish eyes", and the monitoring screen at the security office will never change again.

Knocking over a few guards in dark corners without disturbing anyone is a skill Gard has already mastered.

Jumping from the Taoist door on the second floor to this mysterious God Advent Building, Liao Huang looked up at the dozens of floors of the tall building like a tourist.

As expected, the top twelve floors are the twelve floors with astronomical meaning.Tourists can judge the time according to the position of the silver moon when facing the position of the blood moon.Now the center of the silver moon is between the last two squares on the twelfth floor, and the current time is exactly 11:30 in the middle of the night.

The ancients with such high wisdom in Qixing why is the technology so backward now?It is said that the Advent Tower got its name from the coming of God Poseidon.

Except for the top twelve floors, each floor of the base of the Advent Tower is very high and is made of very large irregular white stones.Because of years of wind and rain, no matter how well people take care of it, the white building still cannot bear a close look, and it is full of potholes.Fortunately, people can take a closer look at the lower two floors of the outer wall, which are covered with vines.

The building is very dark, and the Xuanmen is a small, pitiful hole without a door.This term is still found in the tourist brochure.

After Xiao Ding and Jia De crept in, they turned on the cold light flashlight in their hands. The yellow-green light was just enough to illuminate a step in front of them. Although the light was weak, it was enough.

Behind an iron fence is a spiral staircase with no bottom to the bottom. The top is full of dust, and no one has obviously walked through it for many years.

Stairs snaked along the walls into the darkness, with a hollow in the middle that looked like the mouth of an all-consuming demon.Lie Huang only paused for a while, without seeking anyone's opinion, he pushed aside the iron fence and began to descend along the stairs.

This building is wonderful, Luan Huang evaluated in his heart.The outside looks like a square straight tube, but the inside is a spiral circular staircase. It is believed that many people who walked through this narrow staircase fell down because they couldn't stand the dizziness.

I don't know how long I've been walking, and I don't know if I'm going deep into the ground now, but the feeling of endlessness really makes people feel endlessly dizzy.He could fly, of course he didn't care, he was a little worried about Xiao Ding and Jiade, so he looked back.

This kind of climbing stairs is indeed a bit strenuous for the two of them. The two slowly touched the wall and moved step by step. Jiade was the most exaggerated. He was obviously a little dizzy, sitting on the ground, bit by bit. The point is climbing stairs with legs and buttocks.

Lie Yao shook his head helplessly, it was really a small staircase that stumped a hero.

"Take your time." Lie Huang left alone, if Xiao Ding and the others followed, they might not be able to save them.

He jumped directly towards the black hole, and the black cloak was erected by the strong wind from bottom to top.When he landed, it was as light as a feather, and the dusty ground only stirred up smoke and dust like ripples.

Turn the cold light flashlight again and it will be switched to high beam mode. With the yellow-green light of the flashlight sweeping away, he can see the surrounding environment clearly.

Still a dead end.There was nothing around except the walls, and occasionally a few large rats fled in a hurry under the light.An iron cage in the dark corner is empty, it seems that Duer's grandma has been transferred.

There are some dark brown traces on the wall, which are splashed on the wall and the ground ferociously.If his estimate is correct, many people must have died here. The massacre many years ago still lingers in the air now with a faint smell of blood.

When he felt that he might have found the wrong place and planned to fly up again, there were other subtle sounds in the wind, the crisp sound of iron chains and the sound of human voices.

A lot of people were talking, even if they were all whispers, they made a very loud voice, even if the voice was very far away from him, it couldn't hide from his sensitive ears.

Follow the direction of the sound, the sound is behind the wall.Is the stone wall in front of him a secret door?Liao Huang took a closer look, and there was no trace of a door on the tightly stitched walls.

There were very painful hisses and wailings through the wall, which made Yoo Huang suddenly freeze there stiffly.Because that voice is very familiar, it is the old lady who is slowly telling stories.

not good!Could it be that the killing ritual has begun?
