Chapter 1976 A Seal Ring

The long-sealed dark atmosphere flowed out from the open door, and the warning alarms carried by everyone beeped one after another, indicating that the concentration of negative energy ahead was too high.

In this situation, it is very likely that undead creatures will be born, but after experiencing the insects just now, Alyssa even feels that undead creatures are quite friendly.

Everyone turned off the alarm and the light shone in through the door.

On the ground, a layer of swirling black smoke and dust floated close to the ground, like a ghost crawling on the ground. Lieutenant Dui led his men in first, checked left and right, and the others followed.

This is a collapsed room. The right front corner has almost completely collapsed, leaving a large area missing from the room.

Looking along the rusted metal floor, you can see shackles, chains and other restraint tools. You may also see some branding irons, thumb clamps, long black needles, or pliers placed on a movable cart.

This made everyone immediately realize that the so-called rust marks on the floor were most likely bloodstains that had long since dried and turned black.

This is a torture chamber.

Alyssa looked around and saw a metal object that looked like a coffin in the collapsed corner of the room. When she focused the light on it, she could see clearly that it was actually a steel girl.

The Iron Girl could see the long and thin needles inside the slightly open lid. She could even imagine the horrible scene of putting a person in there and closing the lid, with countless needles piercing the skin but not being fatal, causing the victim to slowly bleed to death.

Alyssa felt as if her head was stabbed, as if a needle was really piercing her nerves.

Sista, who was following behind, was wagging his tail from side to side nervously, as if he was afraid.

Don’t stay here for long.

Alyssa saw that there was no other exit in this room, and apart from some torture instruments, there was nothing noteworthy.

She was about to ask everyone to go back when she heard Li Chengxi say:
“There’s a ring inside that Iron Maiden.”

“Magic items?”

“No, but it’s beautifully made.”

Alyssa hesitated for a moment, asked everyone to be on guard around, and went forward to open the Iron Girl.

Li Chengxi did not mention any traps. Although the level of negative energy was high, there were no signs of undead creatures. Alyssa was reluctant to give up the spoils.

The completely rusted lid was difficult to open. Alyssa stepped on the bottom as a fulcrum and pulled the rusted door with both hands.

With a creaking sound, the door finally opened to the point where you could see clearly inside.

The first thing that caught my eye was a skeleton.

Based on Alyssa’s experience, this should be the skeleton of a female elf, who must have suffered inhuman torture before death.

Her limbs were all damaged to varying degrees, and her bones were broken before she died. Her pelvis was almost twisted and dislocated, and her sternum was broken into several pieces.

The ring that Li Chengxi mentioned was on the twisted finger of the skeleton.

It was a gold ring, cast in the shape of two leaves. The ring was in the shape of a vine, with a shining ruby ​​in the center.

Alyssa was about to take it when Li Chengxi said:

“Take off your headphones and face this skeleton.”

Alyssa didn’t know what Li Chengxi wanted to do, but she did it anyway.

Then she heard Li Chengxi say to the skeleton in the headset:
“You may rest in peace now.”

With just such a simple sentence, the skeleton suddenly began to glow. The light quickly attracted the attention of other people who were on guard nearby, and everyone immediately pointed their guns at the Iron Girl.

Alyssa raised her hand, signaling everyone not to be impulsive, and she quickly took a half step back.

At this time, the brightness of the light began to decrease. In a trance, Alyssa seemed to see the shadow of a female elf, who was still as beautiful as ever. She looked as if she wanted to say something but finally shook her head. She reached out her hand to Alyssa, and then the image of the female elf disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Only then did Alyssa feel something extra in her hand through the gloves of her protective suit. She looked down and saw that it was the ring she wanted to take just now.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

God’s word is powerful.

When they were invaded by darkness, Li Chengxi’s voice helped Alyssa and the others stay sane.

By the same token, if a soul is unable to reincarnate, a word from God is enough to make it go to the sanctuary of the god of death.

“What is this ring?”

“A seal ring is usually used to indicate noble status.”

The nobles on Alyssa’s side no longer used seal rings as proof of identity, so she knew nothing about it.

“Don’t rush to sell it. I think it has other uses.”

Li Chengxi said:

“This castle was most likely built by outsiders brought in through a portal. These people had a high level of magical attainments. The entire castle was built using magic. I speculate that the builders were most likely related to elves, but it was eventually conquered by a group of barbarians.”

Regardless of the castle’s history, this itself is a bit strange.

Alyssa and the others came here because the Swan’s scanner discovered a high-energy reaction nearby. Li Chengxi also felt that the high-energy reaction was likely related to his priesthood that he had not yet taken back.

But you see, this is actually a castle built by outsiders brought by the portal. It was originally a mine of the Glow Ion Yin Order on the planet fortress.

It’s unlikely that the Glow Ion Yin Order would keep anything truly important here, right?

Or did an outsider find something hidden by the Glow Ion Yin Society and bring it here?

What’s more, there is a group of evil followers of the Centipede Lord.

Li Chengxi was not sure what was going on, but no matter what, Alyssa and the others were still in the castle. If they found the location of the high-energy reaction and saw what it was, everything would be solved.

Coming out of the basement, everyone walked up the spiral staircase.

As mentioned before, a corner of the basement ceiling has collapsed, which has a negative impact on the stairs. Although it is still passable, its width has been greatly reduced.

They formed a long snake formation and went up the stairs, so that they would not be able to fight back if they were attacked.

So Alyssa let Benben go in front. If there was really someone waiting up there, Benben would not be afraid of being hit as a meat shield.

After arranging the formation a bit, everyone went up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor seems to be in better condition than the first floor, and the signs of decay and collapse are not very serious.

The stairs connect to a corridor on the second floor, and the first thing you see when you come up is a slightly open metal door.

Everyone acted quickly and found shelter as soon as possible.

Lieutenant Duy leaned against the wall, looked inside through the crack in the door, and made a few gestures behind him.

Several soldiers worked together. Some kicked the door open, while others pointed guns at the door. If anything jumped out, it would be hit in the face by the laser gun first.

However, the only response to everyone was silence and a slightly colorful light reflected on the floor.
