1530 The Passage


    Yu Jiayuan sighed and whispered into Fang Heng’s ear about what had happened.


    Fang Heng, who was performing the ritual, had a change in his body. A red pir of light appeared. Gan Honghua immediately pulled her away when he realized that something was wrong. Then, she saw a red light shoot into the sky, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.


    After Gan Honghua left the hall, he immediately evacuated with his believers. He did not expect to be contaminated halfway.


    Gan Honghua’s body was especially polluted. In less than half a minute, he had be a corrupted creature. The followers who followed him also started to be corrupted.


    Amidst the panic, Yu Jiayuan hid in the underground passage with the rest of the followers. Not long ago, she climbed out from the other end of the passage and prepared to stay here until the crisis was over. Unexpectedly, she saw Fang Heng passing by.


    Yu Jiayuan wanted to die now.


    The pollution on her body had just been removed, and now there was new pollution.


    Didn’t they say that there would be a period of high resistance after the pollution was removed?


    Ever since she saw Fang Heng, Yu Jiayuan’s mood had been like a roller coaster. She experienced hope then despair, then hope, then despair, then hope, then despair, then the surprise ofing back from the dead, and finally, she fell into despair again…


    Yu Jiayuan felt indescribably tired.


    After all this, she was still in a contaminated state. The only difference was that she had more than a month aspared to the previous state.


    Fang Heng listened to Yu Jiayuan and frowned.


    “Did Gan Honghua say anything before he died?”


    Yu Jiayuan nced at Fang Heng and whispered, “I told you, they were muttering about some kind of demonic seed, and then they had a very scary expression on their faces. They took the church’s people and immediately retreated. I followed them, and halfway through, Gan Honghua was corrupted.”


    “Yes.”


    Fang Heng nodded.


    In general, Yu Jiayuan’s situation was simr to his. They were both affected by the corruption effect.


    “The Fallen Ones’ target is likely to be me. Their numbers are increasing. We need to think of a way to get out of here immediately.”


    “Don’t, don’t go out!”


    Yu Jiayuan quickly reached out to stop Fang Heng and said, “I just tried. Once exposed to the outside world, the pollution in the body will spread greatly. Previously, Bishop Gan was quickly contaminated because he left the church.”


    She had tried to go out just now, but the pollution in her sea of consciousness had increased greatly when she was exposed to the ck clouds outside. She could notst more than half an hour!


    Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately looked at the game notification.


    Indeed, when he was staying outside the building, the game had notified him that the pollution had increased greatly every half a minute. Now, the game notification had not appeared.


    Fang Heng tried to sense his sea of consciousness with his eyes.


    After he hid in the room, the speed at which the pollution spread in his sea of consciousness decreased significantly.


    Eh?


    He had been fleeing all the way and had not had the time to observe his sea of consciousness.


    Now that he was examining it carefully, he discovered something strange.


    It waspletely different from the beginning. In the beginning, the pollution in his sea of consciousness was gray, but now, the pollution had changed again.


    In the gray area of the sea of consciousness that was contaminated by the pollution, he could see tiny dark red tentacles.


    Fang Heng frowned.


    He observed carefully.


    The gray area of pollution was actually divided into two types?


    After Gan Honghua’s sacred ritual, the original polluted area had been greatly reduced to a small area that was less than the size of a fingernail. The fingernail-sized area was covered in gray pollution. There were fine dark red hairs in this area of pollution.


    Moreover, this part of the pollution was still spreading at an elerated rate!


    “Fang Heng, Fang Heng?”


    Fang Heng looked up and saw Yu Jiayuan standing outside the window, her face slightly pale.


    “They’reing closer to us.”


    Fang Heng walked to the window to check.


    One after another, the Fallen Ones chased after them in the t house where they were hiding.


    “Not good. They’re probably chasing after me.”


    “We can’t stop them here. Let’s go back to the underground passage first. The terrain there is narrow, so we can hold on for a while!”


    Yu Jiayuan said as she turned around to look at the believers behind her.


    “The Fallen Ones are here. Let’s go back to the passage.”


    The followers had already regarded Fang Heng as the spokesperson of the Holy Court. They immediately took action and reopened the underground passage.


    Fang Heng was stunned.


    There was an underground passage?


    “It was left behind during the war. There are many simr passages in the slums. The passages in the lower areas extend in all directions, but after the war ended, all the passages leaving the slums were cut off.”


    “After Gan Honghua took over the church, he gradually joined forces with the believers to transform the underground area. In the past, some of the church’s prayer rituals would also be held in the underground area, where they could avoid the investigation of the ult Union.”


    As they spoke, the underground passage was opened again. A young church member waved at Fang Heng and Yu Jiayuan, “Quick, hide in here.”


    “Yes.”


    Fang Heng nodded and followed behind. He controlled the zombie clones outside the door to enter the room and hide in the underground passage with Yu Jiayuan.


    It was too difficult to leave the slums from the outside.


    Run first.


    Perhaps there would be a turning point after going deep into the underground area.


    …


    Deep in the underground passage, the air was a little murky. The underground passage of the slums was originally built by refugees to escape the war, so the passage was very narrow and could only amodate two people walking side by side.


    More than ten believers of the Holy Court led the way.


    Along the way, he could asionally see scattered corrupted creatures.


    Yu Jiayuan’s astrologybined with the Holy Court believers’ prayers couldpletely destroy the corrupted creatures.


    Fang Heng followed at the back of the team. Every ten steps forward, he would release the Bones’ summoning skill on the spot.


    Dense piles of undead Bones crawled out of the spiraling magic array.


    The passage was narrow, and by taking advantage of the terrain, the undead Bones couldpletely block the entrance to the tunnel.


    In this way, the Fallen Ones and the corrupted creatures outside would have to deal with the undead Bones at the door before they could rush in.


    It could more or less dy their actions.


    The believers of the Holy Court also noticed Fang Heng’s summoned creatures and their expressions were a little strange.


    Wasn’t he an oracle from the Otherworld? Why was he using the undead’s methods?


    The situation was tense, and no one spoke. They just kept walking forward.


    Soon, after walking for more than 20 minutes in the passage, the believers brought Fang Heng and Yu Jiayuan to a rtively wide foothold.


    It could only be considered arger underground space.


    The believers gathered at the front and whispered.


    Puzzled, Fang Heng walked up and asked, “Why aren’t we leaving?”


    “There’s no road ahead,”


    A younger believer sighed and pointed to the passage on the right. He exined, “That’s the ce we escaped from before. It leads to the interior of the broken church. Now, the church is filled with monsters, and the intersection is blocked. We can’t go back.”
