Chapter 5 The Escaped Person (for further reading)
Although Gu Xi didn't know what was going on behind him, he quickly lowered his head, and then there was a bang from behind, and a huge stone slammed heavily into the black-robed cultists like a pendulum.

The boulder was estimated to weigh several tons in the past, and I don't know how it was thrown up. The black-robed cultist who rushed to the front was knocked out on the spot, and a dozen people were smashed to death on the spot.

At this time, another voice came from behind Gu Xi.

"This way, this way!"

Gu Xi looked up and found a young man who was too skinny sticking his head out from nearby, waving at Gu Xi non-stop.

Gu Xi was a little curious. Just as he was hesitating, the sound of a black-robed cultist moving a boulder came from behind him.

Gu Xi didn't think much, and immediately ran towards the young man.

After only two steps, Gu Xi discovered that the young man was hiding in a passage behind the wall.

If he hadn't personally waved, Gu Xi would not have discovered the existence of this passage.

Without thinking much, Gu Xi quickly leaned over, and the young man grabbed Gu Xi's hand and dragged Gu Xi into the aisle.

When being dragged away, Gu Xi noticed that the young man's arms were already skinny, and there were even a few teeth marks on his arms.

The young man didn't react too much. He led the way ahead while pressing the mechanism on the wall.

Although he didn't look back, Gu Xi could hear that the wall behind him seemed to move.

Gu Xi, who was not quite sure what was going on, could only raise his mind and secretly communicated with Luna, if the young man behaved recklessly, he would give the young man a slap in the face.

They ran forward for more than [-] meters, and after turning a few turns, they came to a small room of seven or eight square meters.

As soon as he entered the small room, Gu Xi found that there were four or five men and women in the room. They all looked thinner, and when Gu Xi and the others entered, they were all sitting weakly.

But Gu Xi could see the anger and killing intent in their eyes.

Taking a closer look at how they were sitting, Gu Xi couldn't help but let out a gasp.

"You are not..."

"Yes, we are next to your cell. My name is Jack, little flea Jack. When you escaped, you threw the key to us."

Seeing that Gu Xi discovered the situation here, the young man who brought Gu Xi explained to Gu Xi.

"So it's you guys, it's good to escape, but why didn't you escape?"

Gu Xi was also half relieved to see that he was also a friend in trouble who was also inexplicably arrested, but he still looked at these people with some surprise.

Judging from the way they came in just now, they didn't dig out the small room in front of them.

If they really had such mechanism technology, they would have escaped hundreds of years ago without waiting for Gu Xi to make a move.

"Oh, those who wanted to leave have already fled. The few of us stayed because we knew some secrets. I said, my lord, you are a professional."

Jack looked at Gu Xi mysteriously.

"Yes, Necromancer."

When Gu Xi said this, Luna poked her face out from behind Gu Xi.

The empty eyes startled so many people present.

Fortunately, Jack reacted quickly, and he quickly said: "My lord, my lord, please don't, we didn't mean to target you, these are all kept by me, we know a secret here.

That's why those people arrested us. "

Hearing this, Gu Xi's eyes froze. He was imprisoned here for such a long time, and he almost couldn't complete his inauguration. He always remembered this matter.

After he succeeded in taking office, he did not leave immediately, just to find an opportunity for revenge.

Gu Xi was excited to hear such news now.

"what reason?"

"Those guys discovered the mirrored underground palace, and we are the sacrifices used to open the mirrored gate."

While talking, Jack looked at Gu Xi triumphantly, trying to see the shocked expression in Gu Xi's eyes.

But Gu Xi really didn't know anything about mirrored underground palaces.

He came to this world only to become a Necromancer.

According to his past experience, he only needs to find a suitable undead in the cemetery to be his contracted undead, and he will be successful in taking office.

At that time, he can leave this world directly.

How can I read all kinds of background information in this world carefully.

Everything Jack said was just winking to the blind, Gu Xi didn't even know the importance of the information in Jack's words.

Seeing that Gu Xi didn't respond, Jack thought that Gu Xi didn't like the news, so he had to explain more.

"My lord, it's like this. When I was first imprisoned, the one next to me was an architect.

When he was locked here, he still didn't give up and wanted to escape.

He also planned to dig a tunnel, and I helped him at that time, but his movements were too big, and he was seriously injured by those people soon.

If I hadn't given him some water every now and then, he might have died faster.

Later, he told me that when he was digging the tunnel, he found some different bricks. According to his judgment, this place should be the legendary mirrored underground palace. "

When talking about the mirrored underground palace, Jack deliberately emphasized his words.

But Gu Xi really didn't understand these things, so he said directly: "Is there anything wrong with the mirrored underground palace?"

When Jack heard it, yes, there are some things that really can't be explained.

Gu Xi really doesn't know.

So Jack and the others explained to Gu Xi about the mirrored underground palace.

It turns out that this mirrored underground palace is a legend in Victoria City.

About 300 years ago, the city of Victoria still belonged to the Stuart dynasty. In order to obtain the throne, James I sacrificed the entire city of Victoria to an unknown existence as a sacrifice.

But after he ascended the throne, he was unwilling to give up the city of Victoria, so he thought of a way.

He took the Victoria Tower, the core of Victoria City, as the origin, and replicated an identical Victoria City in a one-to-one size.

After that, he dedicated the fake city to an unknown existence, and used the method of mirroring to exile that existence and the fake city to a different space.

Since then, the false city has become the backdrop for Victorian ghost stories and legends.

Among the various legends, true and false, the only certainty is that the only way to enter the exiled false city is a building that is completely opposite to the Victoria Tower.

The mirrored underground palace that has never been discovered.

And those black-robed cultists are followers of the unknown boss. They have only one target to capture Gu Xi and others, to open the mirrored underground palace to the fake city, and release the boss they believe in.
