Alien Knights

Rachel and Sabrina walked down musty and cobweb-filled hallways.

The former opened hidden mechanisms one by one with ease, pushed aside hidden stone doors one after another, bypassed complicated forks, and led the latter slowly towards the depths of the mountains.

Sabrina, who was walking in the corridor, kept fanning her face with her hands, and asked in a low voice, "Is it my illusion or is it true, why do I feel more and more hot?"

Rachel carefully avoided a rock that collapsed on the ground, and said, "The mountain where the Presbyterian Church is located is called Supha. Do you know what this name means in the ancient Semitic language?"

Without waiting for Sabrina to give an answer, Rachel directly explained: "Supha is the fire god in Semitic mythology, in charge of the power of earth fire and sky fire."

"Earth fire? Sky fire?" Sabrina suddenly reacted: "You mean, our feet are...?!"

Squeezing sideways into a narrow stone crevice, Rachel put away the torch and said, "The original road is impassable due to landslides, I'm afraid we have to take some risks..."

Hearing the gurgling sound not far away, Sabrina followed Rachel into the crevice of the rock, and when she got out, seeing everything in front of her, she suddenly trembled and her face turned pale.

A narrow stone bridge stands high in the sky, above the head is a rock formation with jagged rocks, and hundreds of meters below the feet is tumbling and flowing hot lava!

Seeing the dark red high-temperature magma wrapped in black smoke, in the underground cracks under her feet, continuously flowing toward the depths of the earth's core, and smelling the pungent smell in the air, Sabrina took a few steps back , clinging to the rock behind, shouting at Rachel: "Is there no other way to go?!"

"As I said, the original shortcut can no longer be used. This bridge is the only way to the destination." Rachel stepped on the stone bridge. There were bursts of fine blue smoke.

Looking at this arched stone bridge with a total length of more than fifteen meters, because of disrepair, it is full of cracks and crumbling.

Sabrina shook her head desperately: "You are crazy! You must be crazy! I will never step on a stone bridge built thousands of years ago, and there is still boiling magma flowing underneath!"

Rachel turned around and said to Sabrina: "I have a question, you who have lived for a hundred years, maybe you can answer me."

"Which kind of life is more valuable to you? Is it a lifetime of lingering in obscurity, or a moment of bravery to find the truth?"

Sabrina froze in place, looking at Rachel silently.

Standing on the stone bridge above the flames, Rachel opened her arms and said loudly to Sabrina: "Even if you give me endless lives, but let me live in a cage the size of an inch, what is the difference between this kind of life and death?" difference?"

Sabrina's nails dug deep into her palm.

"Open your eyes and look at this dirty and unbearable world! Lies, scrambles and killings are like poison, which has polluted everything completely! You are avoiding death and dare not face the hell after death .But! Have you ever thought that the world we live in is already an out-and-out hell!"

Rachel reached out to Sabrina: "You are a bit like me. We have nothing more to lose. The body is no longer important to us. Don't you want to change? Don't you Don't you want to try and get out of hell?"

"Perhaps the world after liberation is not as wonderful as we imagined..." Rachel lowered her head, her eyes full of loneliness: "But it must be better than now."

After hesitating for a long time, Sabrina finally took a small step forward. She stretched out her trembling hand, forward, forward, and finally touched Rachel's fingertips.

Grabbing the other's hand and pulling her to the stone bridge, Rachel smiled and said to Sabrina: "My sister, welcome to the truth."

Walking across the stone bridge above the Lava River, Rachel led Sabrina into an ancient passageway.

On the wall of the passage, green gemstones are inlaid densely like stars, and these gemstones emit a gentle green light in the dark, pointing out the direction for the two to move forward.

Looking at the piles of human bones under her feet, Sabrina said in a low voice: "The dead have no wounds on their bodies. They are sitting here quietly waiting to die. This scene is just like..."

"Buried."

Rachel walked ahead quickly, reminding Sabrina: "Don't touch those green gems, they are highly poisonous, I almost died from them once."

Sabrina looked at the emerald in the wall in surprise, then followed Rachel's pace and walked forward quickly.

The two walked forward for another ten minutes, and finally came to an iron door hidden in the rock.

Sabrina looked at the faintly visible text above the iron door, and struggled to make out: "Nascentes_morimur... was born to die?"

With the pale green light around her, Rachel pointed to a rotating keyhole plate on the iron door and said to Sabrina: "I need your help."

The latter looked at the keyhole and asked, "Do you want me to open this lock?"

"This kind of mechanism lock has a compass-shaped lock cylinder inside. Even the most outstanding lockpicking master can't open it. And you, Sabrina, your blood can change into various forms. This lock is very important to you. It shouldn't be too difficult…”

Listening to Rachel's words, Sabrina's brows became tighter and tighter: "I'm really starting to doubt your original intention for inviting me, maybe you just want me to help you open this lock."

Complaining is nothing but complaints, Sabrina bit her finger, and the semi-solid blood slowly flowed out from the wound and seeped into the keyhole.

As the lock cylinder turned again and again, after a while, there was a muffled sound from the stone door.

Rachel put her hands on the slate and pushed forward hard.

Thick dust fell down, filling the entire corridor.

Sabrina covered her nose and mouth with her hands, followed Rachel through the stone door, and continued walking.

After walking forward for more than ten minutes, they reached the end of the passage. A gust of high-temperature wind was drawn in from the other end of the passage and blew on the two of them, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.

Rachel put her arms in front of her and shouted behind her, "Almost there! Right ahead!"

Sabrina, who was almost lying on the ground and moved forward to the exit, looked up at the scenery outside the cave, and couldn't help being so shocked by the scene in front of her that she forgot to breathe.

The ocean of magma was endless at a glance, and the tongue of fire was rolling like waves. Looking around, it was full of blazing red!

Rachel stretched out her finger forward: "Our destination is there!"

Sabrina looked in the direction of her finger, in the center of the "lava sea", there was a huge black metal tower hundreds of meters high, rising from the bottom of the sea of ​​fire, standing tall and shining in the light of the fire Brighten.
