Yu Cheng now has a bracelet on her wrist. As long as the Ye Ye in front of her is fake, the bracelet will alert her!
Fortunately, the bracelet didn't react at all, but Yu Cheng felt a little dizzy.
The three ghost story tellers from the Dragon Kingdom are still alive to this day, a situation that would be unimaginable in other countries. Of course, their own strength is also formidable.
"I didn't see a single fragment of that cross..." Ye Ye shook his head helplessly. "Do you have any clues here?"
“There’s one.” Yu Cheng nodded. “If I’m not mistaken, the next time we see Brother Jiang Ran, he’ll have two.”
"So, if that's the case, then there would only be one last fragment of the cross left outside?"
Ye Ye was somewhat frustrated. He had been here for an hour, almost running through the entire Holy Church and killing countless gargoyles, but he still hadn't found the last fragment of the cross. There was probably only one reason: the fragment was no longer there.
“Jiang Ran is still in the back hall.” Yu Cheng pointed to the door to the back hall. “But we can’t go in now, we can only wait for him to come out.”
"Are you alright? You look a bit exhausted."
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Yu Cheng gave a helpless wry smile. "If I'm not scared when I get to the very late stages of a dungeon, I'm actually quite unaccustomed to it."
"Alright, we've got nothing to do anyway. I found an interesting room on the fourth floor, I think we can go check it out." Ye Ye pointed upwards. "We can't just sit here and wait, can we?"
"What interesting room?"
If Ye Ye had been to that room before, he should have explored it completely by now. What's the point of asking her to go with him now?
"You'll see once you come with me." Ye Ye stepped onto the stairs. "I had no choice, but you should be fine with me here."
The two went up to the fourth floor together. After Ye Ye checked that no one was around, he turned his hand seals in front of a wall!
"open!"
The original wall blurred, revealing a large stone door.
"Phew, all done."
Seeing Yu Cheng's somewhat puzzled look, Ye Ye explained, "It's just a little trick. I found this door before but couldn't open it, so I had to use some methods to hide it."
"This is...your ability?"
You can understand it that way too.
Ye Ye walked to the door. The door had no keyhole, only an "L"-shaped groove.
“I’ve been thinking about what could open this door, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems there’s something that can meet this requirement.” Ye Ye reached out to Yu Cheng, “Yu Cheng, bring me your piece of the cross so I can take a look.”
If it is a cross pattern that is symmetrical in all directions, and you divide it into four equal parts from the center, then each part will be an "L" shape.
Ye Ye had never seen the fragments of the cross and could only make his own speculations.
And indeed, it turned out just as he had guessed.
In other words, you must find a fragment of the cross before you can open the room; otherwise, finding the room won't help.
"Then let's not waste our time."
Yu Cheng stepped forward and imprinted the fragment of the cross in his hand into the groove of the stone door.
The stone door crumbled into dust, revealing a secret chamber behind it. The two stepped into the chamber, which was very empty except for a dilapidated wooden table in the center.
"What's this?"
On the wooden table sat a dusty notebook. Yu Cheng picked it up, blew away the dust, and then opened it.
The first page of the notebook was written in large characters in fresh blood!
[I don't know who you are, but since you've opened this notebook, it means we're destined to meet. I don't know if I was even conscious when I wrote this! So please don't read any further! I can't guarantee what comes next is true! Haha, I must be crazy!]
Yu Cheng was not intimidated by these few words. She paused for a moment and then turned to the second page.
Surprisingly, from this point on, the owner of the notebook began writing with a blood-red ink. The rules of the world filled the pages, the rules crooked and disordered, and Yu Cheng quickly discovered new rules within them!
Including the two rules at the entrance of the church, there are currently 12 known rules, but there are a total of 13 rules in the notes. Yu Cheng recalled the broken notice at the entrance, so this must be the last rule!
[Rule Thirteen: Please do not go to the top of the Holy Church]
"Don't go to the top of the Holy Church?" But the voice that entered the Holy Church told them that they needed to collect four crosses and then go to the top of the Holy Church to dispel the fog. If the top of the Holy Church is a forbidden area, how can they break the deadlock?
This rule doesn't have an asterisk, so it might not be a correct rule.
Yu Cheng continued flipping through her notes.
I am a bishop of the Holy Empire of the Papacy. My name is not important. Lately, I have had a premonition that something is about to happen. The empire appears harmonious on the surface, but undercurrents are surging. Unfortunately, I can't change anything.
The emperor represents royal power, and the pope represents divine power. That's true, it has always been so since the founding of the nation. But we know, we've always known, that a king cannot tolerate a "god" above him, and that "god" always wants to become the new king. The Papal Holy Empire will either become an "empire" or a "papal state."
The conflict between the two factions is intensifying, which makes me very uneasy, but there's nothing I can do. His Holiness the Pope's order in the morning was revoked by His Majesty the Emperor at noon. The empire's decrees are constantly changing, and I've heard many dissenting voices. I hope I'm just worrying unnecessarily.
[Oh God, when the king no longer cares about his people, when the pope uses divine power to do evil, I feel like I'm in hell. No, I have to leave... I have to leave.]
[Damn it, what is this fog? Is it divine punishment? It's terrifying! Wait! What is that?! What have the people of the past become?!]
[Run! Why? Why am I back here again? Damn it, I've lost my sense of direction! I might not be able to walk anymore, I won't see anyone again, no, the people I see won't be "people" anymore.]
[Whoever you are, you shouldn't be reading this. This shows you didn't take my previous words seriously, damn it! Did I want you to read this or not? I don't even know anymore. Who am I? Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore.]
Go, if you can go, don't stop, don't believe anything.
[Never let the Holy Papal Empire be reborn in the world!!!]
That concludes my notes.
"It's two colleagues from the Dragon Kingdom! What a coincidence, isn't it?"
An untimely voice rang out from outside the door.
"May I share this information with you?"
