Chapter 603

St. Catherine's Monastery, the Pearl of Sinai Peninsula, is said to be the place where God gave Moses the ten commandments.

In the third century A.D., monks in Sinai were burning thorns to build a small church. By the time of Justinian the great, with the development of Christianity, the monastery was officially formed. It has a history of more than 1400 years. It has successively experienced Arab invasion, Crusade, Ottoman rule, Napoleon rule and the war between Egypt and Israel. It has gone through the chaos of war, but has not been injured, It still retains the ancient tradition inherited from the sixth century.

St. Catherine's monastery is located in the hinterland of the Sinai Peninsula. It looks like a castle, surrounded by tall stone walls, and the church in the courtyard is beautifully restored. The walls, pillars, roofs and gates of the main church all have vivid sculptures of ancient emperors, sages, birds, animals, fish and insects, flowers, plants and fruits. Gold inlaid altar in the church, supine with a bronze statue of Jesus and Saint Catherine

In addition to the church, the most famous library is the library, which collects manuscripts of different times from the fourth century to the present. It is one of the oldest existing libraries in the world.

In the morning, they set out from Arish and ran all the way to St. Catherine's monastery. It was noon when they arrived. Under the scorching sun, the monastery surrounded by rocks was like a big stove. Even so, it could not stop the enthusiasm of tourists.

Barbara and Drake went to inquire about the news. Luke and Diana mingled in the crowd, toured under the guidance of the monk, and left as if nothing had happened,

"You hear me!"

Diana nodded. "There's a little scream coming from below."

Luke sneered. "It looks like they're one step ahead of us. They've already begun the interrogation."

"Do you want to stop it?"

"No!"

Luke took out a metal ball and threw it out. "I want to know what they're doing."

After the metal ball fell to the ground, it turned into a spider the size of a fingernail, bypassing the guards and crawling all the way into the library, but the scene was amazing.

The library of St. Catherine, which is famous for its antiquity, is in a mess. All kinds of books are scattered on the ground, covered with footprints. Two monks lie in the corner, next to four thugs who are drinking.

Judging from the scene, the library should have been invaded.

The mechanical spider scans the surroundings, determines the location of the basement, climbs quickly, and hears screams before approaching. Under the dim light, the abbot Adon akado, who has only one underpants, is tied to a chair. A fierce looking strong man is beating his body with a whip dipped in salt water.

There was a whirring sound in the air.

Every time the whip falls, there will be a suppressed roar.

Adorn's body was covered with blood, but the strong man didn't stop until he was beaten to death. He dug a ladle of ice water and splashed it over.

With the cold breath, adorn shivered and woke up from his coma.

The strong man came forward, grabbed him by the neck and yelled,

"Where is the seal? Say it

Adorn took a breath and slowly closed his eyes.

The strong man was so angry that he punched him in the stomach! You son of a bitch. "

After a while, Adon fainted again. The strong man checked his nose and felt the disappearing breath. His face changed slightly,

"Master, he's dying."

"Keep fighting. Don't stop."

With the sound of a poisonous snake, the candle flickered and the shadow swayed. A golden haired man with a hooked nose came out of the shadow. He was about 30 years old. He was wearing an ancient Egyptian robe and holding a cobra staff in his hand. His expression was lunar calendar and his face was fierce. His dark yellow eyes were like poisonous snakes, which made people dare not look directly at him.

The strong man did not dare to disobey his orders. He raised his whip and continued to beat him. One whip after another, ah duo'en's skin was rotten.

There was a muffled roar in the room.

The young man opened his mouth and enjoyed the process very much. The sound of the whip into the flesh reminded him of the picture in his mind. Once he was beaten like Adon, again and again, from the initial pain, to the later indifference, and then to the final pleasure. When the pain reached the depth, it would become the ultimate joy.

He saw this truth clearly, and understood the true meaning of black magic in it: only the cry of despair from the depths of the soul can bring the purest darkness.

Adorn in front of us is an example.

After ten minutes, the strong man stopped and said uneasily,

"He didn't respond."

The young man went to the chair and stroked the cobra staff. The wooden staff suddenly came to life. The cobra bit Adon's neck, and the venom poured into the blood vessels and flowed to all parts of his body.

In a coma, adorn suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils were dark, and a large black blood line appeared on his face. The silk line went downstream of his skin, like small poisonous snakes.

The strong man felt numb and couldn't help retreating.

"No one can disobey me, no!"

The young man murmured, his hoarse voice echoed in the room, the shadow began to lengthen, and then contracted inward, as if something terrible had to come out.

"Submit to me, submit to the ancient Lord of sacrifice."

The shadow grew rapidly, and he came into Adon's body with a lot of invisible black fog and sharp arrows. He trembled violently, and his mouth cackled. His expression twisted to the extreme, and he looked very painful. Suddenly

With a bang, the chain broke, and Adon staggered to his feet. Step by step, his eyes were cold and ferocious. When he came to the young man, he slowly knelt on the ground,

"Master!"

The young man reached out and stroked his head. "How do you feel?"

"Thank you for your strength."

"Good"

With a faint smile, the young man continued, "tell me where the seal is."

"Right under your feet."

"Are you sure?"

"This is a secret handed down from generation to generation in St. Catherine's monastery. Two thousand years ago, due to an earthquake, the entrance of the sealed place was exposed. In order to prevent the devil from getting rid of the seal, the monks at that time built a church at the entrance, which is the predecessor of the monastery."

"How to get in?"

"The ancient seal magic is carved under the church. Destroy it and the entrance will be exposed."

"Then do it. Now."

"I understand."

Adorn got up and left, according to the master's request to put the explosives in the key position of the church.

In the utility room, Diana, who watched all this with the help of mechanical spiders, couldn't help saying,

"We can't wait. We have to stop him."

There are more than 100 visitors to the monastery. If there is an explosion, I don't know how many people will die.

"There's no need for us. Someone's gone."

With a wave of Luke's hand, the virtual screen appears in the air. A strange man with a golden eagle helmet and golden wings appears on the screen. The man is suspended above the church and seems to be observing something.

"Who is he? Superheroes? "

Luke shook his head. "I've never seen it before. It's supposed to be a new superhero." Pausing, shrugging, "maybe not."
