Chapter 457 The Gradually Approaching Truth

There are still many manuscripts on the table.

But it is a pity that most of the handwriting is illegible, and the content above is not clear at all.

Although he read the manuscript left by Wilbur Whateley, Constantine had more doubts in his mind, whether it was the mysterious golden egg that fell, or the "Ascension Project" mentioned by this lunatic.

Constantine put down the yellowed manuscript in his hand, turned to look at Nexia who was beside him, and asked curiously: "According to your request, I have read the entire manuscript, but it didn't mention it. The truth of the mystery."

According to the practice of previous times, now it should be the decryption session of the 'Prophet'.

However, this time, Nexia did not have a 'spoiler'.

"Uh......"

Constantine was stunned for a few seconds, and then prompted: "Aren't you going to say anything?"

"Not yet."

Nexia shook her head, pointed to a certain place in the room, and said, "There is a mechanism there that can open a secret passage."

Constantine suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked to the position pointed by Nexia and pressed the switch.

rumbling...  

As the room shook, the rock wall rolled to the right.

A darker narrow tunnel suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and the cold wind blowing from it was faintly mixed with a disgusting smell of blood.

"What a bloody smell!"

Constantine frowned, covered his nose and said, "Do you know where this tunnel leads to?"

"The devil's lair, the source of the Ascension Plan, the factory mentioned in Wilbur's manuscript." Nexia took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The place where the golden egg first fell, It is also the final destination of our trip.”

"and many more......"

Constantine glanced at her suspiciously, and asked, "Didn't you say before that you're here to find the key?"

Nexia said calmly: "I have already got the key."

"Why didn't I see it? When did you get the key?" Constantine was surprised. He had been observing Nexia all along, and he didn't see her taking anything from here.

"Key is just an adjective."

Nexia explained: "It's not a key in the conventional sense, I can't explain it to you."

"If you don't want to say it, forget it..."

Constantine looked speechless, and said again: "But there are only two of us now, do you want to wait for Lord's side to end, and we go to that factory together, it will be safer and safer?"

"That's too late."

Nexia shook her head and said, "Father will catch up soon, let's go to the factory to stop the Ascension Plan."

"Are you sure, just the two of us can do it?" Constantine expressed doubts. The two of them might have died in the past. The black magic books in the cabinet are no joke!

"enough."

Nexia was very sure, nodded and said: "Actually, the most important person who wants to stop the Ascension Plan is not me, but you, John Constantine!"

"I?"

Constantine was very surprised, thinking what he could do to stop Wilbur's plan to ascend to God.

"Yes, it's you."

Nexia confirmed again: "Or to be precise, only you can stop the Ascension Plan,"

"Wait a minute......"

Constantine seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became a little strange: "You said that only I can stop it, you don't plan to sacrifice me to summon Lucifer, right?"

Maybe it's because he has too many teammates to sacrifice, so at such a critical moment, he feels that others may harm him.

Especially last time in Los Angeles, when Lord tried to sacrifice him to summon Lucifer, Constantine still remembered it vividly, and now that he ran into this guy's daughter again, it was inevitable that he would not worry about it.

in a sense......

This can be regarded as a disguise, he must be suffering from persecution delusions, after all, he has done too many bad things, so he can't worry about it!

"......You think too much."

Nexia was a little speechless, shook his head and said: "I will not sacrifice you, and this place is very special, even if you die, Lucifer will not appear, so don't worry."

"Really?"

Constantine was still a little skeptical, although his intuition told him that Nexia was not lying, but he still wanted to make sure.

"real......"

Nexia felt very tired, and said helplessly: "Not everyone likes to sacrifice teammates like you."

"Okay, I believe you once!"

In the end, Constantine was defeated and was moved by the girl's sincere eyes.

The two stepped into the tunnel one by one.

This place is similar to the one leading to the room. It is a secret passage dug secretly by someone in the underground rock formation.

Because the city outside has been raining, even the ground can feel damp, water droplets are constantly dripping from the cracks in the rock wall, the feet are covered with unknown moss, and the touch is very slippery when stepped on, coupled with gravel The paved path is quite strenuous to walk on.

click...click...

Konstantin and Nexia, one deep and one shallow, stepped on the uneven gravel road, and slowly moved forward by touching the wet rock wall in the pitch-black environment.

This dark passage is very long.

They walked for more than ten minutes, but they didn't see any light. There was only endless darkness ahead, and the further they walked inside, the more foul-smelling the air became, and even the temperature became higher and higher.

Damp...creamy...stuffy...

Constantine wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the still dark environment ahead, and suddenly had a strange feeling that this secret passage was like the mouth of some kind of giant beast, and they were the ones who fell into the trap and were about to be digested. residue.

keep going......

I don't know how long it has passed, but when Constantine couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to yell, he suddenly heard the roar of the machine.

"We're almost there!"

Constantine regained his energy, and hurriedly quickened his pace, regardless of whether there were any traps, he almost rushed out at a trot.

rumbling...  

The roar of the machine became louder and louder. In the closed environment of the tunnel, it was directly amplified countless times. It shook the eardrums like a rumbling thunder. Even when you put your hand on the nearby rock wall, you can still feel the vibration clearly. came.

Finally, he saw the end!

At the end of this dark tunnel is the area directly below the factory, which is usually used to discharge waste water.

It's just that there are countless broken corpses piled up in this underground drainage system, and even the river is filled with blood. The stench they smell comes from here!

"vomit--"

Seeing this bloody scene, Constantine felt his stomach sour, couldn't help but turned around and slapped the wall and vomited it out.

"follow me."

Nexia's complexion was slightly pale, her willow eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she seemed a little uncomfortable with the environment here, and walked straight towards the depths of the sewer system.

"I'll convert to vegetarianism when I go back!"

Konstantin leaned on the wall panting, wiped the green bile from his mouth, and followed Nexia's footsteps with a bitter face. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.
