Gate of the Cross

Chapter 34 Reason

In order to help the snowy dragon soul find out the haunted truth of the hotel, Xinjie and his party formed a team one night and came to the hotel to investigate. Unexpectedly, they found that there was a secret passage at the bottom of the hotel's heater. What they did not expect was that the bottom of the hotel would be a maze.

In the maze, they met monsters such as ghosts, slimes and zombies, and later met a private detective who called himself Apollo. After talking, everyone knew that he was also entrusted by the hotel owner to investigate the haunting incident.

"Bear, how much do you know about this hotel?"

After Apollo introduced himself, he heard that the purpose of the adventurers from the alien world was also to investigate the haunted incident in the hotel, so he took the initiative to ask.

"To be honest, I don't know much. Maybe the Dragon Soul still knows some." When Gene heard Apollo's question, he turned to the snowy dragon soul and said, "Dragon soul, do you know?"

In fact, this person is just to say a few more words with the dragon soul in the snow.

"Actually, I'm not sure. The hotel owner went directly to the master of the spell solver, and I don't know the specifics."

"Well..." Apollo said solemnly, "If you know it very well, you should not be willing to come. Sure enough, you don't know anything, do you?"

Xinjie noticed that Apollo's expression was a little strange, which seemed to stop talking. Thinking of the words of the grandparents heard at the gate of the hotel today, he asked directly, "I heard that this hotel used to be a cemetery?"

As soon as Xinjie said this, others couldn't help looking at him, and Gene muttered, "How do you know this?"

However, before Xinjie could answer, Apollo said first, "Well, it seems that you still know something. Forget it, I'll tell you. Anyway, I'm going to give up this commission. Because I don't want to die yet... You probably want to leave after listening to my words!"

Apollo's accent has a strong local accent. It seems that he is undoubtedly a native of the Kingdom of France, but he continued to say:

"As this teenager (Xinjie) said, I heard that this was originally a cemetery a long time ago. Although it is a cemetery, it is actually a small temple to worship the souls of soldiers who died in battle for the country. Originally, the small temple was managed by the Great Church and the Royal Palace, but they gave up their management rights three years ago. Maybe they don't want to care about this kind of cemetery that they don't know when to be built!"

Several people listened quietly and understood that Apollo was about to get to the point soon.

Sure enough, he said, "At this time, the person in charge here bought this land by bribery! At that time, many people opposed the demolition of temples and hotels, but it was still over. I think this is probably the demolished temple! The ghosts in the hotel should be those homeless ghosts.

After listening to him, everyone was silent. After a long time, Blake Jill asked, "Will this... be true?" Is it really the cause of those undead?

The world is always full of fear about the unknown, so when asked this, Blake Gill's voice trembled slightly.

"Who knows, it's better to believe this kind of thing than to believe it... I'm afraid that some undead who go crazy because their home was demolished will curse the people related to the hotel... Anyway, as soon as I enter here, I feel creepy. If you don't want to die, go back quickly! I'm going to run away first. Goodbye!"

"Run away?"

Before they could react, they saw Apollo turn around and run away.

"Hight." Gene is going to stop him.

"Forget it."

Xinjie stopped him. "He doesn't seem to have any combat effectiveness, and it doesn't help to let him stay. Besides, he has made up his mind to go, so there is no need to force it."

"Xinjie is right. After all, he is just a detective. This kind of thing is still a little difficult for him." The dragon soul of the snow domain also said.

Because Xinjie and the snowy dragon soul stopped, Apollo has left this maze and ran up.

Seeing that it was too late to catch up again, Gene said hatefully, "But this guy was entrusted to investigate, so he ran away without any sense of responsibility!"

To Jean's surprise, Xinjie shook his head and said, "No."

"Isn't it right? What's wrong?" Gene was still angry and said angrily.

Xinjie said calmly, "You just said something wrong."

"Ah?" Gene looked at Xinjie in surprise, "Xinjie, what are you talking about?"

"He was only entrusted to be investigated. Now that he has investigated the cause of the ghost, his task has been completed, and the next step is not to investigate the incident, but to solve the incident."

Hearing Xinjie say these words calmly, Gene couldn't help touching his head and said, "Xinjie, you know, sometimes I really don't want you to be so calm."

In fact, Xinjie is not wrong, because Apollo is indeed just a detective. It's okay for him to investigate, and it's really difficult for him to fight.

"Xinjie, do you think what he said is true?" The Snow Dragon Soul noticed another meaning in Xinjie's words.

"From the current situation, the reason for what he said is the highest credibility," Xinjie pondered, "There is another question."

"What's the question?"

This time it was Blake Gill. This magician now admires Captain Xinjie more and more. He is careful and can think of places that others can't think of, and he is also good and easy to get along with.

The only thing that makes him helpless is that the captain doesn't seem to like to talk. He usually doesn't talk much, and he always looks calm. Although this will give people a sense of honor and disgrace, sometimes it is also very helpless and overly calm.

"If you can venture alone in the maze and walk to this level, if it is any of us, we don't have the ability."

Xinjie used a positive tone, and what he said was also true. None of them had the strength of these demons could come here alone.

"Yes, I also think it's strange for you to say that. It took the three of us a long time to walk down, but it looks like he has no pressure at all."

Gene couldn't help touching his head again, "Well, I said I should have stopped that guy just now. It's not clear if you ask him directly about these things?"

The snow dragon soul frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there are drugs such as 'exorcism'. I seem to have heard of this kind of thing before. After using it, it can reduce or improve the probability of encountering demons."

"If so, it does make out."

Xinjie also nodded, and the possibility of this situation is relatively high.

The four of them were discussing seriously, but none of them found a black shadow slowly emerging in a corner behind them and slowly approaching them.
