Chapter 816 Giant Object
Chapter 816 Giant Object
For the Inquisition in Lilai City, or for the Inquisition and the Church in the cities in the heartland of human power in the entire Night Vale, the dark race is actually not that easy to encounter.
but……
Because of this, most of the people imprisoned in normal black prisons are actually from the dark race.
Things are rare.
Cultists are generally executed on the spot when they are caught, but the dark race will leave more of them alive if conditions permit.
Of course, this is limited to the areas currently controlled by humans, especially in the east and central parts.
This situation is rare in the West and on the edge of the Abyss - in those places close to the Abyss, the dark races will emerge in an endless stream like flying insects in ponds and woods in summer.
Anyway...
The dark races lurking in the heart of humanity often have high research value or other value.
Needless to say, every superior dark race that can be captured alive is of great significance for studying how to counter the magic and technology of the entire race it belongs to.
And the lower-level ones... a lower-level dark race can lurk in the heart of humanity. The research value of this is enormous!
Their various values are enough to allow them to be detained for a long time.
So, when there is no dark race in a black prison, something is definitely wrong!
While Raymond was still immersed in identifying the "masters" on both sides, Lin Yu and A Yu, two players with clear goals, had already clearly noticed that something was wrong.
And when Ah Yu first raised an objection...
The director of the Inquisition, who was leading the way, did not seem panicked.
On the contrary, he turned around, glanced at the two of them, and began to explain calmly.
"Your Excellency Schreiber is worrying too much. You haven't seen the dark race yet because our Lilai City's Black Prison was built based on Lilai City's unique underground structure, so... it has two floors."
"This first floor is a prison cell that's no different from the other cities' black cells. It's built according to the unified standards designed by the Inquisition headquarters and is used to detain cultists."
"As for the dark race, we've placed them on the next level... That's where the dark race is imprisoned, and it's even safer than the ordinary black cells."
The director of the Inquisition in Lilai City explained.
Ah Yu frowned when he heard this: "There's another floor? Then take us to see it!"
Lin Yu also nodded: "That's right, these cultists don't have any clues, we still have to look for clues from the dark race."
The Director of the Inquisition kept a smile on his face.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he continued walking forward and opened the door of a cell.
The cell was empty, except for a skeleton in the middle.
The old director staggered forward, moved the dry bones aside, then bent down and gently swept away the messy layer of hay on the floor of the cell.
"Please come in, everyone."
As the director spoke, Lin Yu and A Yu took Raymond in.
Under the hay, a new magic circle was revealed. The Director of the Inquisition gently pressed his palm on it and chanted quickly and quietly.
Then...
The floor tiles throughout the room began to undulate like waves.
Although it was made of hard stone bricks, Lin Yu felt that the ground had become soft - then, the ground of the entire room seemed to turn into a whirlpool.
Lin Yu and A Yu felt the suction under their feet, and Raymond also frowned slightly.
"What a high-level magic circle! It's worthy of being a court in a big city. Even the entrance to a cell is so formal!"
The director of the Inquisition laughed. "The population of Lilai City is over a million, so it needs to pay more attention to security than those smaller cities."
Then...
As soon as the words fell, the suction force under their feet suddenly increased.
The entire ground completely turned into a water wave-like medium, completely sucking the four people in the cell into it!
Lin Yu felt as if he was in a slide, with darkness all around him, and he could only feel his body sliding down the channel.
soon……
"Shh!"
He stepped on the ground again, surrounded by a dark space.
"Tick."
The sound of dripping water rang out, and the humid air and the clear sound of water reminded Lin Yu that there was a vast and quiet open water in this space.
Even the texture of the ground beneath my feet felt like damp sand.
And with their arrival...
One by one, the floating blue lights lit up, confirming Lin Yu's guess.
They were indeed standing on the shore of a body of water—before them lay a vast underground lake.
The lake was dark and deep, extremely silent, and exuded a chill.
With the help of the blue light, Lin Yu could clearly see the silhouettes of metal pillars on the lake, like nails nailed into the lake.
"What the hell is this place?"
A Yu couldn't help but ask.
"The second floor of the black prison in Lilai City."
The director of the Inquisition spoke calmly, then added: "All the dark races captured by our Inquisition are here."
He pointed to the water in front of him.
Ah Yu frowned: "Water prison? Are they imprisoned underwater?"
"What kind of technology is this? Many dark species can't survive underwater, right?" Raymond asked, puzzled. "Is there a 'cavity' down there? Or are there sealed cells underwater, and those metal pillars are ventilation holes?"
"Neither... Anyway, you'll understand once you see it."
The Director of the Inquisition said this, raising his hands high.
Then...
"Clatter!"
The originally quiet water surface suddenly began to ripple, accompanied by a huge sound of water, and the metal pillars tilted slightly, as if a mechanism had been triggered.
After a moment, a huge platform appeared on the water surface.
And above...
There are many dark races piled up.
Werewolves, vampires, undead, lower demons...
The corpses of the dark race, which must have been soaked for a long time but had not deformed, but had lost their "color" and become lifeless for some reason, were stacked on the circular table.
"Aren't these all dead? Are you kidding me?"
Ah Yu spoke with some resentment, looked at the director of the Inquisition, and drew out his flintlock.
"Hey—old man, you'd better give me an explanation!"
The director of the Inquisition ignored A Yu and even completely ignored the gun pointed at him.
He just glanced at Lin Yu and sighed slightly.
"Mr. Schreiber...what a pity."
"You shouldn't have come to Lilai City."
The next moment, he took a step forward, magic power surged in his body, and he jumped up nimbly and dived into the water, completely changing his old and clumsy appearance.
"boom!"
Ah Yu fired his gun almost at the same time, but he was caught off guard and seemed to be pushed by something, causing the muzzle of the gun to deviate. It was almost certain that the shot would hit the target!
"Pfft!"
The figure of the Director of the Inquisition disappeared into the water.
"Damn it, what the hell is this old man doing?!"
Ah Yu cursed angrily and turned the gun towards the water.
The figure of the Inquisition's director was completely invisible in the pitch-black water, but the next moment...
"Shh!"
A bright yellow light suddenly appeared underwater.
It was like a scorching sun rising from underwater, so bright that the three people on the shore couldn't help but squint their eyes.
"WTF?"
A Yu cursed.
After Lin Yu got used to the strong light, he could see clearly what was lighting up underwater.
"Shit! Shit! Shit! We're in big trouble!"
Raymond's yelling was heard.
Lights up underwater...
It was the open eyes of some giant creature!
The snake-like vertical pupils were staring at the three people.
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"Why was there always a big guy waiting for me each time I went underground?"
