After entering the underground floor, the space immediately becomes narrow and tortuous, as if stepping into a maze buried deep underground.
The lights became dim, there were many strange statues standing on both sides of the road, and the walls were also carved with strange patterns and words.
Fang Cheng learned from the guards' memories that the underground floor was newly built after Heaven's Gate colluded with capital, so it was deliberately made to have a strong religious atmosphere.
He hid in the shadows, observing these statues and patterns, trying to determine what God the Gate of Heaven believed in.
Judging from the content, there are generally two elements of Christianity and aliens.
For example, crosses can be seen everywhere, and aliens with octopus heads are nailed to crosses.
In the eyes of Heaven's Gate, God probably has this kind of honor.
After entering the gate of heaven, we can finally see a large number of believers dressed in black.
But these believers all look exactly the same, they are all clones seen in the villa before.
Moreover, these clones have collectively been injected with superhuman drugs, and each person has the superpower of steel skin. Together, they form an army of superpowers.
Fang Cheng had a vague feeling that the purpose of Heaven's Gate and the financial backers behind it might not be as simple as setting up a cult.
After all, they have the Ark, arms dealers providing a large number of weapons and equipment, and an army of super-powered clones that can be mass-produced at any time.
Are you preparing for a world war?
With such a huge force, it would be no problem to sneak overseas and establish an independent country.
But even if they want to cause trouble, the North American government will have a headache, and it has nothing to do with Fang Cheng.
The bald man quickly found a senior cultist with patterned clothes and explained his purpose.
"Please come with me, the leader happens to have time."
His tone was stiff and cold, and his face was expressionless. He seemed to be a clone.
Fang Cheng noticed that there was a faint tattoo of "2" on the other person's back and neck.
This is injected with Superman Drug No. 2, which is stronger than the ordinary clone No. 3.
The other party took his bald head to the leader's residence and met many walking believers along the way, all of whom were clones of the same appearance.
Compared with the base on the upper level, this place is more like a religious prison, imprisoning these clones without thoughts and emotions.
Clone No. 2 came to a door and gave the bald head a gesture of intimacy.
"Go in, the leader is inside."
The bald head had already been covered in goosebumps by the cold and weird atmosphere here, and he quickly opened the door and entered.
It was also the first time for him to come to the underground floor, and he thought there was a luxurious residence behind the door.
As a result, I opened the door and saw that there was actually a church inside.
This is a typical Christian church, with a crisscross circular dome on top, supported by four thick pillars, and eight thinner pillars around it supporting 24 vault brackets.
The ceiling at the top is painted with various murals reflecting the religious life of the Virgin Mary and Jesus, and the walls on both sides are decorated with a large number of stained glass and exquisite ornaments.
However, the Jesus and Virgin Mary in these murals are all aliens with octopus heads.
The ground is paved with gray and white marble, and there are two rows of benches in the rectangular space, filled with people who are bowing their heads in prayer.
"Excuse me...Is Master Walker here?"
Baldhead asked the nearest person in a low voice, but the other person ignored him at all.
When I got closer, I realized that the man had no breath and was actually a corpse.
The bald man looked up and felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
These dense crowds sitting on the benches may all be corpses.
However, Fang Cheng noticed that every corpse with its head bowed in prayer had a tattoo of the word "1" on the back of its neck.
These are all clones injected with Superman Drug No. 1, and they are also the most powerful clones.
But they all died anyway.
Fang Cheng didn't feel their heartbeat or body temperature, so he must be dead.
The bald man swallowed his saliva and wanted to leave this weird place, but he heard that Leader Walker had been very busy and he didn't know when he would be free next time.
The bald head had no choice but to walk in. The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the empty and silent church.
In the middle of the end of the church is a four-tiered altar.
According to custom, the altar should be occupied by Christ and the Virgin, plus statues of Saints Peter and Saint Paul.
But what stands here is a man crucified.
This man was naked, his skin was as gray as a corpse, his head was lowered so that his face could not be seen clearly.
At first glance, I thought it was a statue, but upon closer inspection, I realized that it was a real person, but it had no breath, and it was impossible to tell whether it was dead or alive.
The bald man came to the altar with a puzzled look on his face. Didn't he say that Leader Walker was here?
"What's your business?"
A cold voice suddenly sounded.
The bald man stiffened slightly and slowly looked up.
He saw the man's corpse nailed to the cross on the altar, looking up at him.
This is the face of a middle-aged man who is close to forty years old. He is almost carved from the same mold as the clones outside. The only difference is his age.
He suddenly came back to life from the state of a dead body, and his body temperature and heartbeat were returning.
Fang Cheng tried his best to shrink his aura in the shadow, and even recovered all the blood that filled the surrounding area.
Because Benjamin Walker is also the agent of the evil god, he may be discovered by him if he is not careful.
Benjamin Walker's face was beyond Fang Cheng's expectation. It seemed that he was the prototype of those clones outside.
"Master Walker, why do you..."
The bald man had met Benjamin Walker before. At that time, he was still a polite and high-level intellectual, not like a cult leader at all.
Why, after not seeing him for more than half a year, was he nailed to a cross and turned into a male corpse?
Walker continued to repeat the previous question: "What on earth is wrong with you?"
The bald man hurriedly explained his purpose of coming.
Hearing that he was sent by Tony Kent to help, Walker's lips curled up slightly, as if he was making a silent mockery.
"You mortals are really going too far, and you dare to send people to spy on me."
The scalp of the bald head was numb, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
Of course he knew that Tony had a deep intention in sending him here, but he didn't expect that Walker would expose it directly.
If he gets angry and kills himself, Tony will definitely call Walker to apologize and express condolences.
Fortunately, Walker did not do this. Instead, he ordered: "The gifts dedicated to the gods have been sent to the base. I have been a little restless recently. You go and comfort me. I will hold a sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow."
The bald man agreed quickly.
Walker then lowered his head and returned to the state of a dead body, his body temperature and heartbeat disappearing rapidly.
The bald man turned around and left this strange place, walked outside the church, and the door closed automatically.
He looked back and wiped the cold sweat from his bald head with his hands.
The relationship between Heaven’s Gate and the financial backers behind it is not a close one.
Because what Benjamin Walker did completely followed the instructions of the evil god, and the financial backers behind him only cared about their own interests.
There have been conflicts between the two sides not once or twice. For example, under the instructions of the evil god, Walker likes to engage in mass suicides and sacrificial rituals.
This kind of behavior will lead to investigation and crackdown by the North American government. The funders headed by Tony have repeatedly asked Walker not to do this, but he still goes his own way.
If the investment hadn't been too great to replace people, the two parties might have parted ways long ago.
Tony sent Baldhead to work under Walker, probably to convey a message to him - I'm watching you, don't mess around again.
Judging from Walker's reaction, he probably didn't care at all.
After leaving the conversation, Baldhead found the No. 2 clone who had just led him the way.
This time the other party took him to a building complex, with more than a dozen three-story buildings gathered together. There were 1,000 people living inside, no more, no less.
Among these 1,000 people, 700 are ordinary believers and 300 are capable strangers from all over North America who have passed the invitation letter from the Gate of Heaven and are ready to join this cult.
These people were secretly sent to the base and have been living here for almost half a month.
Ordinary believers are fine, but the 300 talented strangers who are ready to join the cult and do something great are recently very dissatisfied and think they have been deceived.
If it weren't for being in this unfamiliar place, many people would have left long ago.
Although he reluctantly stayed, dissatisfaction was already brewing.
The bald head's mission is to appease them and hold them until the sacrifice ceremony the day after tomorrow.
This job is very simple for the bald man. He has to manage the unruly non-staff personnel in the security bureau and train them to be as obedient as dogs.
Just when the bald man was confident and ready to start his new job, Fang Cheng had already escaped from his shadow and began to explore the entire underground level.
The mother's body was in Benjamin Walker's hands, but he looked like he was being nailed to a cross and pretending to be dead, so he might not have brought anything with him.
So Fang Cheng wanted to explore the terrain here to see if he could find a place to store his mother's body.
With his current strength, those clones couldn't find him at all, so he quickly visited the entire underground level.
The space on the underground floor is much smaller than the base above, only about one-fifth.
In the middle there is a huge hollow like a Roman Colosseum, with nothing in it but an altar.
Other buildings are surrounding this hollow, so the space seems cramped and small.
Except for the church where the leader is located, Fang Cheng has explored every place but found nothing.
Then the mother's body is most likely in that church.
Fang Cheng wanted to enter the church to investigate, but he was afraid of disturbing Benjamin Walker.
However, if you want to take away your mother's body, you have to fight with the other party sooner or later. Now that the other sponsors are not in the base, it seems to be an opportunity.
Just when Fang Cheng was undecided, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"If you take action now, he might escape."
Hearing Yi Xie'ai's voice, Fang Cheng was slightly startled and asked, "When will we do it?"
"The sacrifice ceremony the day after tomorrow."
Yi Xie Ai gave a rare answer: "When the time comes, if there is a chance to severely injure the opponent, he will not run away during the sacrifice ceremony."
