Before Xia Pingan arrived at the cemetery near the catacombs in the 14th arrondissement in the south of Paris, the agile Boy of Blessings had already arrived at the Chateau de Boulogne in the west of Paris in a flash.
The Chateau de Boulogne was surrounded by the lush Boulogne Forest. Right next to the Chateau de Boulogne was the Seine River, and several docks and docks could be seen nearby.
The Boulogne Forest had beautiful scenery, with shaded paths and lakes everywhere. It was quiet and serene. Waterfowls could be seen resting in the forest, and hares and fawns could be seen coming out of the forest parks from time to time.
However, this large area was extremely quiet even in the daytime, with almost no one disturbing it. In Paris, where food was scarce, it seemed that no one would think of coming here to hunt animals or look for wild vegetables.
At the entrance of the forest, there was a warning sign. On the sign, there was a scary warning written in several languages. There was a skull symbol on the sign, and below the symbol was a line of words — You are about to enter the sphere of influence of the French Summoners Alliance. If you rush in, you may be shot!
In addition to these frightening warning signs, there were also groups of armed men patrolling the perimeter of the Bois de Boulogne forest. Such a situation was enough to make normal people retreat and not dare to rashly enter.
The boy of fortune was very naughty and happy. After circling around several armed patrols, he didn't find anything unusual. He then rode on a fawn in the forest. The fawn ran across half of the Bois de Boulogne. After that, the boy of fortune grabbed the foot of an egret. The egret took him to fly around the forest for a short circle.
When the Boy of Blessings let go of the egret's foot and descended from the sky, he was already standing in the Chateau de Boulogne.
Mr. Curie said that Castle Boulogne was the headquarters of the French Summoners' Union. It was reasonable to say that this place should be very lively with a lot of summoners. However, when Boy of Bliss arrived here, he found that Castle Boulogne was particularly deserted. Except for a few armed personnel patrolling the gates and walls of Castle Boulogne, the whole castle seemed empty. There was almost no one in sight.
Not only was the castle empty, even the basement and dungeon of the castle were as clean as if they had been licked by a dog. Not a single strand of hair could be seen.
As for that Bourget Monoury, the boy of fortune didn't find him even after searching the entire castle. However, in an obviously luxurious office, the boy of fortune saw some photos and some trophies of Bourget Monoury.
Some of the luxurious bedrooms in the castle were cold and cheerless. The doors were locked, and it didn't look like anyone lived here.
There were also some secret cultivation rooms, attics, secret passages, and so on in the castle. Under the search of the Child of Fortune God, there was nothing of value to be found.
Fort Boulogne had a very secret underground passage. After Child Fortune God entered the underground passage for several hundred meters, the passage was connected to an old underground tunnel. The tunnel was covered in dust and cobwebs. On both sides of the tunnel were skeletons wearing armor. They looked very old, at least several hundred kilometers old.
The boy of fortune went further into the tunnel and saw many coffins. The skeletons in the coffins and the clothes on the skeletons had already decayed.
The deeper he went into the tunnel, the more decayed skeletons there were. On both sides of the tunnel were bone walls made of human skulls. This was like a world of undead and skeletons. If an ordinary person came here, they would probably suffocate in a few seconds.
Further ahead, there were more and more forks in the tunnel filled with skeletons. Some places had even collapsed. Even with the ability of the Boy of Blessings God, he couldn't make it through the maze-like tunnel in a short time.
Very strange!
Except for some guards, there were no summoners in Fort Boulogne!
This situation was a bit abnormal!
The entire Fort Boulogne was filled with an indescribable strangeness.
The tunnel under the Chateau de Boulogne was connected to the tunnel full of skeletons. It should be part of the catacombs of ancient Paris.
If Bourget Maunoury was a member of Demon's Eye, and those nuclear materials were indeed transported to Fort Boulogne, and there was a tunnel in Fort Boulogne that led to the catacombs of Paris, what did Demon's Eye want to do?
Xia Pingan felt that he had vaguely grasped something. The answer seemed to be about to come out. Xia Pingan's heart pounded violently.
… …
In the car, Xia Pingan slightly frowned as he looked at Mr. Curie.
"Mr. Curie, when was the last time you met Bourget Maunoury?"
"Ah, since the government evacuated from Paris, Bourget Maunoury hasn't shown up much. But the last time we met was last week. On the second morning after we met in the restaurant, I visited him in Fort Boulogne and asked him to help us find nuclear materials!" Mr. Curie looked at Xia Pingan curiously. "What, is there a problem?"
Xia Pingan faintly smiled. "Nothing, I'm just asking!"
… …
More than half an hour later, Xia Pingan and Mr. Curie had arrived at the cemetery near the catacombs of the 14th arrondissement in the south of Paris.
This cemetery was on a small slope in the suburb of the city. Pine trees were planted on the slope. Standing on the slope, Zhang Tie could see an entrance to the catacombs of Paris not far away.
Two years ago, the catacombs of Paris were still open to tourists as a tourist attraction. But now, although the entrance to the catacombs of Paris was still open, it was a bit deserted. The gate had been closed. No Parisians would want to take a look inside.
In places like cemeteries, even in broad daylight, one could feel a lingering Yin energy lingering around. However, compared to the catacombs not far away, the public cemetery on the hillside was considered bright and beautiful, and the scenery was particularly good.
Not many people knew that Paris, the so-called City of Romance, was built on a huge cemetery. The catacombs of Paris were a huge underground project. The catacombs of Paris were more than 320 km in length. In the catacombs, there were more than 6 million skeletons of Frenchmen.
The plague hundreds of years ago turned the city of Paris into a huge cemetery. The whole city was covered with buried corpses. Finally, the government had no choice but to excavate the catacombs to place the skeletons of the dead. As the skeletons accumulated, the catacombs became longer and longer. Gradually, the catacombs became a forbidden area. The skeletons inside were piled up like mountains, which made people shudder. Even though it was later opened as a tourist attraction, the open area was actually less than 1% of the total catacombs.
The People's Front ordered people to guard outside the cemetery.
Following Mr. Curie's arrival, the guards here soon brought the two of them to several graves with traces of excavation. Wearing masks, they opened the coffins in the pits.
As soon as the coffins were opened, the pungent smell of corpse rushed straight towards them.
The smell made Mr. Curie cover his mouth and nose with his handkerchief, take two steps back, and quickly avoid it.
Only Xia Pingan remained calm. He stood beside the coffin, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the situation in the pit. Any summoner who had seen the sacrifice of the Demon Eye and any summoner who had the Soul Pacifying Banner would no longer feel that there were terrifying corpses in the world.
The corpse in the coffin was highly rotten, but from the rotten corpse, there were still some signs of death from radiation. The hair of the corpse had completely fallen off, and some of the skin had also fallen off. This situation happened before the corpse died, and there was no way to fake it.
Under Mr. Curie's signal, a person in a disease-proof suit from the People's Front jumped into the pit with a radiation detector in his hand. In front of Xia Pingan, he used the radiation detector to monitor the corpse.
Beep beep beep beep … The reading on the detector instantly soared, and the detector began to sound the alarm.
Therefore, there was no doubt that the people in the pit had died from severe radiation. Even the corpses had excessive radiation remaining.
"The corpses in the pits are all the same. They have the characteristics of death from radiation. Do you need to test them again?" Mr. Curie asked.
