14.1
Dibola's underground has a complete city system with fully equipped facilities, including shops, medical rooms, and guards at important checkpoints.
Entrants must undergo comprehensive testing on several giant instruments before they can enter. Sun Yanyan said this is to prevent the appearance of infected individuals.
I was initially very worried that Su Yuan, Adam, and I would not pass the screening. Thankfully, we followed behind Sun Yanyan and smoothly entered the underground city with the help of He Yang's reputation.
Sun Yanyan said that this is the last surviving camp in Dobola.
He pointed at the person wearing a white robe on the road and told us they are the Knight faction in charge of guarding the underground dungeon. On the other hand, the person wearing a black robe is from the Bishop faction, responsible for the operation of the underground dungeon.
I asked him, "Since you're already underground, how did you appear on the surface?"
Upon hearing my question, Sun Yanyan gave a bitter smile and continued to explain, "Because the Knight Order goes to the surface daily to search for clues. Today, I coincidentally went out with that bald guy. We heard about some unusual residents, so we came specifically and didn't expect it would be you guys."
Upon hearing this, I asked again, "Are there no other people besides us? There were six of us when we entered the city."
Sun Yanyan scratched his neck and said, "I don't know. There are over a dozen teams going out daily, so maybe they were rescued by people from other teams."
After thinking for a moment, I thought that they might have already left this place.
Sun Yanyan listened to my speculation and shook her head, saying, "That is absolutely impossible. Let me tell you, Su Fang, this place called Shengzong is very eerie. Those who have stepped through the Gate of Original Sin and have seen the Blood Moon of Dipora will ultimately return to Dipora. They told me that this is the curse of Dipora."
I said, "This is Debora's superstition."
Seeing my skeptical expression, Sun Yanyan continued, "You don't believe it, do you? Let me tell you, there is a person in the underground city who tries to leave Debora every day, but every time he steps out, the original sins unconsciously walk back to the town."
I shook my head to indicate that Sun Yanyan was talking nonsense; it's not that bizarre.
Su Yuan, upon hearing the words, said, "It must be related to the insects from the Original Sin Sect. He was probably forced back to the inner sect by those insects from the Original Sin Sect." Translated:
Sun Yanyan nodded immediately and praised Su Yuan for her intelligence.
I rolled my eyes and continued to ask, "So, what is the main purpose of this reconnaissance team?"
Sun Yanyan introduced to me: "Currently, there are four types. The first type is to scout for supplies and bring back the empty ones underground; the second type is to investigate suspicious objects and bring them back immediately; the third type is to investigate the movements of the Outsiders of the Original Sin Gate, and some teams also have to deal with some insectoids on the edge of the Original Sin Gate and bring back some blood samples to be sent to the Archbishop's laboratory; and the last type, which is the most dangerous team, is responsible for investigating the safety of the Pope."
The safety of the Pope?
After listening to Sun Yanyan's words, Adam has already recorded all the words in his thin notebook. He also asked some professional questions.
He asked Sun Yanyan why he couldn't connect to the network service here.
Sun Yanyan sighed and said, "That's because there is only an intranet here, and there is a strong encrypted firewall."
Adam responded with a hint of regret, holding onto my clothes and murmuring softly, "This place is so bad, so bad."
Without internet, Adam's role is now reduced to simply recording and timing.
I patted Adam's head and saw Archbishop He Yang and Saint Zong in a square-like place.
He Yang greeted us and then hugged Sun Yanyan, teasing her affectionately. I wonder what kind of magic spell Sun Yanyan has fallen under, as she blushes and allows He Yang to dote on her.
Have they become so close?
Last time I remembered that Sun Sunyanyan didn't like He Yang, but in just a few days, they have become so intimate. Translated:
I stepped forward and said, "Hey, long time no see."
He replied, "Long time no see."
He was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and didn't look like a knight, but more like a rich second generation.
Standing behind He Yang is the Archbishop of Saint Zong. This Archbishop has white hair, furrowed brows, and is staring at us intently.
He Yang immediately introduced the Archbishop to us and informed us that he is currently the representative of the Pope, overseeing the affairs of the underground city.
He waited for me to come forward before putting on his reading glasses. He glanced at our team and was so scared that he fell to his knees, muttering, "The demon is coming, the demon is coming."
He clasped his hands together, trembling all over.
When He Yang saw this, he asked him who the demon was?
To my astonishment, he pointed a finger at me.
I was taken aback and immediately dodged to the side.
The palm, with its skin and bones, still points in the original direction, as if frightened to the extreme.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but as I turned my head, I realized that I was only accompanied by the heavy-hearted Su Yuan behind me.
I looked toward the direction his finger was pointing and indeed, it was Su Yuan. He wore a smirk on his face, mocking as he slowly approached the archbishop and whispered a few words in his ear. Translated content:
I didn't hear the content of those words, but at that moment, I felt like my courage was about to jump out of my throat.
