The Modern Age of the Mysterious

The speed of the car was maintained at about 80 yards, but it couldn't get rid of the hunched figure walking in the thick fog behind.

Not only that, the old gentleman is slowly approaching...

The co-pilot, Catherine, stared at the thick fog ahead, thinking about ways to get the team out of danger.

As time passed, this outstanding Queen-level explorer never found a way to escape the danger.

After all, there is still a long way to go before the spiritual fog barrier, and the pursuers are troublesome to compete with the Ace class.

Catherine sighed indistinctly, and said in a deep voice, "This way we can't run out, we can only stop me by getting out of the car..."

Sean next to him kept driving at full speed, staring at the road with a loud voice: "Don't be kidding! How could you stop him?"

Catherine's eyes were calm: "Sean, maybe you will come into contact with a concept called 'specializing in ancient books'.

"In some rare mysterious books, there may be a complete set of legendary gods.

"Explorers can choose to invest a lot of time, energy and resources to study this book. Although it will affect the accumulation of knowledge, the rewards are also huge..."

Sean quickly turned his head and glanced at Catherine: "What do you specialize in studying ancient books? Why are you telling me this?"

"..." Catherine was silent for a while and continued, "I'm very lucky, I found a rare ancient book called The Book of Red Clothes.

"Although it has a strong evil attribute, occultists believe that this ancient book is the original belief of the **** of drama [Dionys]...

"So I spent a lot of time, to a certain extent, comprehend the knowledge in "The Book of Red Clothes"... That's why my acting skills and personal abilities have made a big leap in my class...

"In addition. Specializing in ancient books will give you some special knowledge. For example, the "Book of Red Clothes" records a method of playing the gods themselves.

"So, the next plan is like this..."

Behind the car, Finks' figure was getting closer and closer, and several people in the car could already feel the tremor when his stick touched the ground.

Inside the carriage, Captain Catherine quietly described her plans and requirements.

After hearing what Catherine said, Sean's expression was grim: "Playing a god...it sounds very dangerous, so is there a high possibility that you will be out of the role?

"After all, the role you want to play is a much stronger being than you, will you lose yourself?"

Catherine nodded: "There is indeed such a danger, but after all, it is only a short-term performance, and the possibility of leaving the role is still very high.

"However, just in case, if there are any unplanned variables, you must cooperate with the emergency team to solve the crisis. After all, it is not long before the arrival of the Lord in Red can't fully obtain his power... "

Sean and Moonlight were silent. It takes teammates to take huge risks to escape, and this kind of thing...cannot make it easy for both of them.

While the two were still thinking about whether there were other ways, Catherine said sternly, "I'm not discussing with you. This is the captain's plan and order, just follow it!"

Boom! The vibration of the cane had already made the Ford jump.

"Slow down." The captain has already ordered.

Sean seemed to force his body to make a move, he stepped on the brakes and slowed down the car...

The car didn't come to a complete stop, Catherine opened the door, jumped out of the car, and rolled over to cushion the inertia.

The car sped away for a while, but didn't quite leave - as Sean and Moonlight needed to make sure Katherine didn't turn into another threat after playing...

Catherine was half-kneeling, holding the Pendant of the God of Drama on her chest, and began to whisper the most dangerous prayer in The Book of Red Clothes...

"Along the shore, the clouds and waves are broken... The twin suns sink behind the lake.

"The shadows stretched, and in the city of two suns, dark stars rose from the strange day.

"The stars circled the sky in strange trajectories, and over the lost city of two suns, the ragged red clothes were floating like the sky was stained with blood..." (Note 1)

Countless red ribbons suddenly appeared in the thick fog. Catherine's figure was wrapped in a floating red robe. She suddenly became incomparably tall, like a red figure standing on a strange peak, her face in the thick fog. It is difficult to identify, except that this being can be seen wearing an ancient bronze crown on his head.

"The Lord in Red..." Sean looked at the thin, towering, blood-red back in the car, and felt an unprecedented sense of oppression...

One of the ancient evil gods, the master of the red mark, the cruel side of the belief in the **** of drama, the [Diony] who was later beautified by people, the real image after penetrating the fog of history...

However, the red-clothed lord in front of him at this time is only played by Catherine. Although she has some divine nature, she is not a complete evil god.

Finks, who had been chasing, stopped. In front of him, there appeared a lake dyed with blood-red sunset.

Above the lake are two twin suns. Two daylight shone on the exotic realm in the fantasy, and a desolate and desolate feeling arose in his heart.

Finks raised his head, he saw a mysterious city with spires piercing the sky under the twin suns.

On the other side of the Lake of Two Suns and in front of the City of Spires, stands their master, the Lord in Red...

The Lord in Red is a cruel deity hidden in ancient dramas. Mysterious scholars have extremely limited knowledge of him. They only know that he is in charge of the City of Two Suns, and uses seven terrifying scripts as the gateway to the material world. Door…

Behind Finks, countless wax figures rushed out of the thick fog in strange postures, and they also stayed beside the lake in confusion.

Finks could feel what kind of threat he was facing. If he wasn't curious and greedy for the value of Sean's soul, he might have retreated, but now...

Finks took a few steps back, and the wax on the surrounding flesh wax figures began to melt. They leaned their bodies together, as if they wanted to use the wax to fuse each other together...

A giant flesh and wax construct is taking shape, and Finks seems to be using flesh and wax to make some kind of sickening art...

He seems to want that large wax figure that is gradually taking shape to cross the Lake of Two Suns...

Facing this rude behavior, the advocate in red opened his long and broad hands.

Under the double sun above his head, seven more red suns appeared behind him, and there seemed to be scenes of cruel stories in the red sun.

After a while, the master in red chose a script for the fallen person who had acted arrogantly in front of him.

A red sun was projected, instantly bringing Finks and his ridiculous works into a certain world.

In that world, a prince summoned the princes and nobles to perform a masked song and dance for three days and three nights, and people were drinking and revelling.

The ingenious prince designed a unique decoration for this banquet, and the seven halls were filled with seven rich colors.

The last hall was decorated completely red, with hundreds of candles shrouded in red gauze, the floor and walls were painted with red paint, and even the glass of the windows was as red as blood flowing...

The play, titled "The Ball of the Red Death", tells the absurd life of the princes and nobles in the context of the Red Death ravaging the world. (Note 2)

After this horror script was created by a talented playwright in the middle of the last century, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com only experienced one performance, and was permanently banned because it caused a horror event that interfered with reality.

Is the story of the talented playwright chosen by the master in red, or did the master in red write the story with the help of the playwright? No one knows the answer.

In the blood-red hall, all the wax figures of Finks disappeared.

The slave owners of the Undercurrent Street are now standing in the midst of the crowd wearing masks. Along with the guests, I saw an uninvited guest wearing a red mask and covered in blood slowly taking off the mask... There was nothing under the mask.

The extremely powerful Red Death broke out in the hall, and Finks, who was substituted into the story, also seemed to have a body at this time, and red chickenpox appeared all over his body. turned blood red...

In the eyes of Sean and Moonlight, Finks suddenly half-knelt on the ground, shivering, and seemed to be experiencing great fear and pain.

The Lord in Red, played by Catherine, can only cause fear and sensory pain to Finks, but this is enough to stop him from chasing.

"It's done!" Sean patted the steering wheel, looking expectantly at the red figure that was so towering that he could barely see the top of his head, gradually dissipating...

However, the head of the Lord in Red was slowly turned around in the high and dense fog, the bronze crown was firmly worn on the head, and a pair of deep eyes penetrated the fog, staring at the car behind him, as if the same No plans to leave the role.

Shawn's heart trembled: "Damn!"
