Chapter 10 The Other Side of the City

The reason why Miss Detective was not asked was because Ella originally knew the approximate location of the Danphire Rocherau quarry, which was said to be the remains of underground limestone mining for the construction of Notre Dame de Paris.

More than 70 years ago, it was transformed into a ossuary hall, where a large number of bones were buried as a cemetery, and it was not deactivated until about 30 years ago.

Facing Ella's question, Melanie, as a local executor, explained:

"Because of the large number of dead caused by the last disaster, and the expansion of the cemetery and the Pantheon area has not yet been completed, His Excellency the baron temporarily enabled it."

She looked at a string of slogans embedded on the wall at the entrance: "Old friends' tomb area, idlers stop", and spoke hesitantly.

"But even we generally don't go deep inside the quarry."

"why?"

Ella asked, but her foot had already stepped into the passage.Through a downward passage, the road in front of me became a little narrow.

Melanie wrapped her old overcoat tightly and followed quickly.

"Because there are so many corpses buried here, their number has even exceeded the total population of Paris several times. Even if there are only some weak spiritual imprints, after gathering in such a number, living people will easily get sick here. "

Ling slowed down unconsciously and her expression became unbelievable.

"Exceed the total population of Paris? The population of such a large city must at least exceed 50?"

"In fact, after the surrounding suburbs are included in the scope of reconstruction, the population of the city has exceeded one million, Miss Mephistopheles."

Melanie corrected.

"You mean that there are millions of bones in this quarry? It's unbelievable that you French built the city on the cemetery?!"

Ling couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

After passing through the narrow tunnel, the dim yellow light of several kerosene lamps illuminated the surroundings.

What appeared in front of my eyes was a wall made of neatly stacked skeletons, a spiritual tower and stone pillars, large and small pottery pots containing remains and ashes, and holy crosses that can be seen everywhere.

They extend infinitely inward, mixed with old limestone and bricks, and it is impossible to distinguish them specifically.

If you want to use a word to describe the scene in front of you, if millions of bones are stacked neatly,

——It is undoubtedly the "place of death"

There is no more appropriate expression than that.

Even Ella stayed in place for a few seconds because of the sight in front of her.

"The part of the catacombs that is open to the public ends here, and further on is the area that only wizards can enter... But even the latter does not reach one-fifth of the total length of the mine, and it is very likely that there will be Landslides and even places with insufficient air, after all, the quarry has been abandoned for a long time, but fortunately, the part that was destroyed by the invasion is not far from here."

Melanie looked around, pulling the coat tighter and tighter.

"Don't you feel it's getting colder?"

Ayla snapped her fingers to make a few off-white sparks float around, and the darkness that lingered in the tomb suddenly receded a lot.

Although the sparks themselves radiated a chill, Melanie somehow felt her discomfort dissipate.

"You should be able to get something from the psychic in the catacombs. There are too many spiritual imprints left by the dead here. It is impossible for the corpse robbers to disperse them all."

Ella just stretched out her right hand, but felt that her inspiration fluctuated.

Two almost overlapping world influences appeared in her vision, and the walls on both sides were covered with a layer of sticky shadow like substance.

She saw a few indistinct figures walking in the passage of the catacomb holding candles, continuing to go deeper.The footprints of their actions slowly emerged in Ella's eyes, and they were confused with each other.

The stinging pain made the girl close her eyes, and she was surprised to find that she did not see the trace of the other party's departure in the historical fragments, neither the footsteps reversing the exit nor the space fluctuations existed.

"Those people are still inside?"

This sentence startled Melanie again, and she couldn't help becoming nervous, worried that the dark wizard who existed in the dark would suddenly appear from behind, cast a vicious spell on herself or simply stabbed to death with a poisoned short knife she.

The detective girl subconsciously touched her hand to her waist, where a small-caliber revolver equipped with exterminator bullets was hidden.

But Melanie noticed that neither Ella nor Ling showed any nervousness, which made her feel more at ease.The other party definitely didn't bring them to this place with the intention of killing someone. If that was the case, they could have taken action after entering the catacombs.

She still clearly remembered that Ella brought down nearly a hundred thugs in Warehouse No. [-], and the encirclement and suppression by senior executors to lure the opponent into a trap was obviously unsuccessful.

Even if she was thinking with her hair, she knew that a guy who could spend several years on the enforcer's wanted list was definitely awesome!

As for how strong she is... Melanie guessed that Ella would at least not be weaker than Mr. Mads Crest who came to Paris last time. He was already the most powerful wizard she had ever seen. .

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the dim kerosene lights stopped behind them, and the only things that could illuminate the surroundings were a few gray and white sparks flying around Ella.

This made it difficult for Melanie, whose eyesight was not well maintained, to see the scene in front of her clearly. She could only follow Ella quickly so as not to be thrown away, while Ling followed her silently, not even able to Make the sound of footsteps.

Melanie once thought that the other party had lost track of her, and almost subconsciously opened her mouth to shout.

"Miss Mephisto, you still—"

"Quiet."

The calm voice came from less than one meter behind her, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

Although she is also a wizard or executor, this method can be regarded as protecting her in the safest position.

A small sense of shame subconsciously rose in Miss Detective's heart, but they were quickly washed away by fear.

This reminded her of the time when she first acted with the teacher or the veterans in the team, and she even couldn't help feeling nostalgic and grateful.

I don't know how long they have walked. In fact, in this environment, people's sense of time will become blurred. Maybe it has only been a few minutes, or they have penetrated into an area that no one has stepped on for decades.

Melanie suddenly bumped her head into Ella's back, and the silver-haired girl stopped walking at some point.

Ella stood firmly on the spot and let a few sparks fall, lighting up an area on the ground.

"Found them."

Ella's tone was calm, as if she had already thought of this outcome.

Ling didn't seem surprised, but just sniffled, feeling uncomfortable with the smell of blood in the air.

Melanie bravely looked forward, but was so frightened that she gasped and almost sat on the ground.

With the help of off-white light spots, she could clearly see the corpses scattered on the ground, they were almost completely destroyed, blood and internal organs were smeared everywhere.

It is roughly estimated that at least five people died in this place.

Those body thieves actually died like that?

The narrow mine shook for a while, dust trickled down, and there was a rustling sound coming from the mine not far away.

What appeared in the dark passage were two groups of burning blue fire.

Something is approaching.

The catacombs are now a real tourist attraction. It is said that there are more than 600 million bones buried in it. If you are interested, you can check the information... The author has never been there (laughs)

Chapter 11 Creating Families

"Miss Williams, Miss Mephistopheles! There...is something there!"

A cold breath spread in the dark catacombs, without Melanie's reminder, Ella and Ling had already turned their attention to that direction.

More gray-white light spots emerge from the cracks in the bricks, the eye sockets of the wall skeletons, or simply emerge from the substantial darkness.They light up this cramped and dull area, presenting it as it is.

A pale white skull was the first to break away from the darkness, with blue flames burning in its eye sockets.

The skeleton looked a little weird, it didn't use its hands to support the edge of the mine, it just floated up without any effort—no, that weird posture was not floating, but more like being pushed up by something.

The sound of rustling became more and more clear, as if some multi-legged reptile was touching the ground and scratching the rock with its sharp claws.

Ella's eyes narrowed slightly, and this sound reminded her of her experience in the Snow Country, which made her almost instinctively disgusted with things with many legs.

It is worth mentioning that the girl now refuses to eat crabs. When she lived in Paris, she even used ritual magic to remove every multi-legged creature from the house.

The skeleton dragged something far larger than itself in an almost comical way, which was composed of countless white bones, like some kind of arthropod-like alien.

Hundreds of white leg bones and soles were distributed on both sides of its bloated body, sliding neatly in the stagnant water of the mine, scraping against the stone wall and making that disgusting sound.

The tattered shroud covered most of its body, but more bones were still exposed through the gaps that could not be covered.

The skull at the top is just its head, and its arms are two pale bone blades like huge sickles. Although it looks pitifully small in terms of overall proportions, its blade width is already more than two foot.

Ayla determined the final fate of those ghouls through spiritual vision, and only this weapon could cut their corpses like this.

The polymer at the top of the undead polymer opened and closed its jaw, making a silent sneer, it instinctively swung its sickle at the three poor creatures that hated the living.

Melanie's face was pale beyond recognition, her legs were limp, almost frozen in place and unable to move.

In her opinion, such a thing is already regarded as the most dangerous supernatural creature. From the fate of those dark wizards, it can be seen that even if all the executors in Paris are mobilized, they may not be able to deal with this kind of thing.She now only hopes that she will have the opportunity to pass this news to the outside before she dies, so that the people at the contact point can prepare early and request support from the headquarters.

But the sickle hit the extremely strong barrier before it touched her body, and the paper-thin off-white crystal hovered under the huge blade, without even a crack appearing.

"This thing doesn't seem to be born naturally. If such a monster has been living underground in Paris, it should have climbed up the tunnel long ago."

"These are the bones that have been processed, leaving only harmless mental imprints. The enforcers in Paris are not idiots, they can't just stuff millions of corpses in there."

Ling looked up at the monster whose size was completely disproportionate to her, with a relaxed expression, and even put her hands in the pockets of the thin windbreaker without taking them out.

Ella shook her head.

"It's hard to say, the world is now different from before. Its birth is far simpler than in the past. Perhaps these people were really unlucky and encountered a awakened monster while stealing the corpse."

Ella let a dozen sparks penetrate into the monster's body along the gaps between the bones. Although it had no pain nerves at all, it still trembled violently as if it was suffering great pain. The blue fire light flickered in the skull cavity of the skull. and begins to transform into an eerie off-white color.

Long silver hair fluttered behind the girl, and gray flames flashed in her pupils.

Ella declared:

"I will be your master."

In just a moment of staring at each other, the pain the skeleton endured climbed to the limit.The oppressive feeling of absolute superiority made him want to kneel down involuntarily.

At this moment, it completely stopped trembling, the flames in its eyes completely turned gray, and it prostrated itself on the ground and surrendered to the great existence in front of it.

The battle in the Kingdom of God gave Ella new ideas about the use of divine power. In fact, this is what she should have thought of earlier.A few years ago in Tangerang Town on the isolated island, Ulysses Philip parasitized and controlled the heretics on the island through the spirit of fire.And the latter method is too evil, and it is impossible for Ayla to use the spirit of fire to send living people and absorb their lives.

But when faced with a gathering of undead that had already died and only had instincts left, threatening the ground, she had no such psychological burden at all.

Melanie Raffaele's mouth was so wide that an egg could have been stuffed inside.
