The Modern Age of the Mysterious

The pig corpse stopped beside Sean, and the long blue-purple tongue was raised again.

Sean didn't want to be licked, and was already considering whether to attack the opponent with vicious piercing.

At this moment, Catherine turned her head and roared furiously like a dealer protecting livestock. Resentment swept away as if it were substantial, and the gatekeeper took a step back.

It just stopped.

Catherine continued to shake the soul-chasing bell in her hand, and walked forward with the three of them.

It seems that evil spirits often use this method to transport their prey, so the wandering spirits or the terrifying evil spirits do not pay much attention to them.

This gave Sean a chance to observe his surroundings a little bit.

He saw many gray-white spirits standing in the streets, some sluggish, some holding their faces and crying.

He saw a burning apartment, there seemed to be ghosts flickering inside, and there was laughter or cries coming from the apartment.

A huge collection of resentful spirits stopped at the corner, like a mountain of flesh crowded with faces, some faces were moaning helplessly, while others were begging for death.

The blood-red neon lights flickered, piecing together weird, bloody, terrifying patterns and words.

"Sulfur Tavern... Blood Pond and Meat Pit..." Sean muttered while looking at the neon sign, "The spirits here are sinking deeply, so they have a certain ability to think and feel... So there is also a need for entertainment. …”

He never knew that evil spirits would also have the instinct to entertain him.

Suddenly, Henry, who was walking in front of Sean, stumbled obviously and was about to fall.

If he fell in the middle of this undercurrent street, he would definitely attract too much attention.

Catherine turned her head and cursed. Sean looked at the mask of the blood-stained maid, and felt that it was not Catherine at all, but the "Bloody Lisa" deity.

This kind of acting makes Sean both amazed and terrified.

After "Bloody Lisa" noticed that one of the prey was abnormal, he accelerated his walking speed and led the three people into the alley of the two abandoned buildings next to him.

Walking deep into the alley, Sean saw a few scrawny figures lying on the ground and chewing on bones. Hearing a group of people approaching, they turned their heads alertly, their eyes glowing yellow, and these climbed up from a deeper layer. The ghouls fled like frightened cats.

After confirming that there was no line of sight around, Henry finally fell to the ground. Catherine said: "He was overly frightened, and his mental strength dropped to a dangerous state."

Henry's face was pale, his eyes were empty, and he kept trembling. He was muttering something in his mouth. He was already showing symptoms of delirium.

Sean was not embarrassed by Henry. Entering the deep spiritual realm was something that people could endure, and he was even licked by the gatekeeper. He didn't go crazy on the spot, but he continued to have a panic attack until now. He was already considered a tough guy.

Catherine squatted by the side and supported Henry to keep sitting up, with one hand covering his forehead, her hand glowing with warm light, and her mouth was reciting the chapters of the Holy Book. Her voice was particularly low, as if she was worried that the existence of Undercurrent Street heard someone call the name of the Holy Father.

Moonlight also squatted on the side, playing the piano softly, with a gleam of light between her fingers, playing a sleep song that could restore her senses.

Sean turned to face the alley, making sure nothing came over.

About ten minutes later, Henry finally began to take a deep breath. He took out a box of smelling salts from his pocket and took a deep breath: "Fuck, I just had a dream..."

"Don't recall." Catherine warned, "That will only affect your mental state.

"Take a five-minute break, then move on.

"Go directly to the site of the sinker, the slave master Finks."

————

After the rest, Catherine continued to lead the three of them through the Undercurrent Street.

After a torturous trek, they arrived at a wasteland that seemed to be a solid ground with bones. Catherine stepped on the ground while no one was around, and said in a low voice: "The peaks in the depths of the world extend to this spiritual realm— It's enough to prove the depth of Undercurrent Street..."

In the dark fog, there are huge shadows like large fish swimming through, and their eyes are like bull's-eye lamps held in the hands of night walkers. Whenever there was such an object cruising nearby, Catherine would stop and gently shake the cowbell in her hand.

Then, not long after, they came to a huge building.

That red brick building, like the first factory building in northern New Zealand in the last century, is huge, ugly, has a strong sense of oppression, and has an evil feeling of lack of humanity.

After years of devastation and spiritual pollution, this building looks even more profound and terrifying.

At the pre-mission meeting, Catherine had already explained the destination of the trip - Wannu Cave, the site of the fallen slave master Finks.

They walked into the building, which was no longer open and would not be targeted by other evil spirits. Catherine took a lantern from the wall and lit it. The four of them took out their weapons and entered a state of waiting for battle.

While walking slowly in the corridor of the building, Sean recalled Katherine's introduction before the mission...

"...There are five known Sinners in Undercurrent Street.

"Big Wine Merchant Pinkman, Slave Master Finks, Gambler Jock, Boss Jesse of the Evil Circus, and...

"And Erx the Long Lost." At that time, when she said the last name, Catherine's eyes blinked.

"The existence I mentioned last is actually not recognized by the exploratory academic circle as a sinker, I just followed the classification habit of explorers.

"Because its existence is too ancient, the exploratory academia believes that it is something even more evil than the sinkers of the Undercurrent Street, and cannot be clearly identified as the evil god, but it is close to the category of evil gods...

"It should have gone through the Age of Glory and the Age of Voyage of the Gods, maybe it already existed when humans were still painting on the rock wall... The seed of the Undercurrent Street I mentioned earlier is it.

"However, since it was recorded, it has been in a state of wandering and contemplation, and has not shown any malicious or aggressive tendencies towards life and spirits - it seems to have been immersed in thinking.

"The reason for this mission was that multiple gang members had their organs removed on Thirteenth Avenue.

"As far as I know, among the subordinates of the five fallen ones, the ones most likely to do such things are the evil spirits of the slave master Finks - Finks is involved in the sale of souls and bodies, and his His subordinates had collected human hearts for a certain ritual. Although not all victims lost their hearts in this organ disappearance incident, the methods and purposes were very similar.

"Although the Quest Association doesn't have the ability to disperse the Undercurrent Street now, the Sinners are still afraid of the Quest Association.

"Doing wrongdoing directly in the New Testament city may lead to a violent conflict between the two sides, resulting in damage to their own strength, so the cunning sinkers will not do too outrageous things in the New Testament city.

"So now the most likely situation is that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ some subordinate of the slave owner Finks, for the sake of profit, lured gang members into the outer layer of Undercurrent Street, and then stole their organs...

"So the destination of our trip is Wannu Cave of Finks, to find the evil spirit that perpetrated it, and after dispelling it, bring back the corresponding evidence, even if the mission is completed.

"The Sinners are not keen, so we can sneak in to solve the target. The cleaner and quicker the assassination and evacuation, the less dangerous it is!"

Sean's thoughts returned to the present, and he followed Catherine through Wannu Cave.

Although the fallen have the ability to think, their subordinates are all evil spirits who act by malicious instincts, which are very difficult to manage, so their precautions are not so strict.

Catherine seemed to have some kind of sensing ability. When walking through the corridor, she would stop the team from time to time, wait for it, and avoid passing guards.

In the depths of the labyrinth-like factory building, Catherine stretched out her hand again to stop the team, and the spiritual substance instantly extinguished the flames in the lantern.

Then, in the horizontal corridor ahead, walked out a flesh and blood thing with dark leather belts all over its body. Those leather belts grew into the flesh, and its huge body was blurred with blood. Since it is over the top, it can only walk in the corridor with its head tilted.

If it was an ordinary person, when he saw the things in front of him, he would definitely not be able to help his breathing disorder.

The four masked explorers abandoned their concentration at the moment, lurking in the darkness, as if they did not exist.

The tall guard turned his head to look, and didn't seem to notice anything unusual in the darkness, so he continued to walk forward.

"It's very dangerous..." Catherine half-knelt in the darkness, beckoning the three to gather, "This is almost the center of Wannu Cave...

"The current plan is this..."
