Chapter 432
After actually entering this inner temple, Xiao Ran and David saw several more boxes, placed in front of the walls on both sides of the door.
Through perspective, Xiao Ran saw clearly.
In those boxes, there are a lot of weird costumes and props and so on.
Among them are demons, popes, and Don Quixote's costumes, as well as various eerie masks and knightly swords.
All these things give a lingering sense of evil that is chilling.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran had already seen these things through perspective, so his expression did not change at all, and he did not show any flaws.
David, who was standing on the side, in addition to being a little pale, was also behaving well.
After entering the door and standing, Xiao Ran quickly scanned the indoor environment, and then said to Christopher:
"The lights here are too dim, the details in some places are not clear at all, I need a strong searchlight, and I also need a ladder
" "One more thing, in the process of exploring, the white cloth covering those niches, as well as the white cloth in the center of the room, may have to be uncovered
" "But you can rest assured, Christopher, We will never divulge half a word about the situation here!
Christopher didn't respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
After a moment, this guy nodded and said:
"Okay, Sean, I can agree to these requests from you
" "I'll go get the bright light searchlight and ladder immediately, you better not make any movement until I return"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"No problem, you can rest assured"
Christopher then turned and left the inner temple to get the searchlight and ladder.
As soon as he left, David immediately whispered:
"Sean, how can I have a creepy feeling, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger!"
"One thing I never understand, why would the Skeleton Society be so evil? It doesn't seem necessary?
Xiao Ran turned to look at him, and then said with a smile:
"The Skeleton Society originated from the legendary Illuminati, and not long after the birth of the Illuminati, it became the target of severe suppression and even slaughter in European countries
" "In order to ensure the safety of the organization, such secret societies have formulated very harsh and strict conditions for joining, including various vicious oaths, etc."
The Skeleton Society obviously inherits this tradition and has a bit of evil attributes!"
"One thing must be admitted, the reason why the Skeleton Society has been prosperous for a long time is more or less due to this
" "As far as I know, the betrayal of the Society by the members of the Skeleton Society has only happened once in history, and that traitor was quickly cleared by the Skeleton Society" "The Skeleton Society
is committed to seizing national power and wealth by any means and creating the so-called new world order, how can it be bright?"
As he spoke, Christopher had already carried the ladder back to the temple.
Seeing him return, Xiao Ran and David immediately stopped talking.
After entering the inner temple, Christopher handed over the searchlight and then placed the herringbone ladder next to it.
Xiao Ran took the searchlight, lit it casually, and began to check the scene seriously.
Next, he surveyed the floor and walls of the inner temple, not sparing a single corner.
At the same time, David took a metal detector and scanned the floor and walls.
However, they did not make a surprising discovery.
Only in the fifteen niches on the walls where the coffins were placed, some metal objects were scanned.
Those metal objects were accessories in the niches, not gold and silver treasures hidden in the walls, and had little value.
After a while, they had explored all the areas below two meters, and still found nothing.
Xiao Ran immediately stopped the movement of his hand and stood in the center of the temple in deep thought.
After a moment, he said:
"Christopher, when did these fifteen niches in front of you, and the things in the niches, exist?" I need to know this information,"
Christopher paused for a moment before answering.
"According to internal information of the society, this internal temple existed when the society was founded
" "These fifteen niches were built a little later, around 1889
" "The person who presided over the construction of these niches was the president of the association, Henry. Stimson
"Stimson is one of America's most famous strategists, having served as Secretary of State and two terms Secretary of War
" "It was under him and President Taft that our community ushered in the first golden age of development!"
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran laughed softly.
"I know Henry. Stimson, who served seven U.S. presidents, is a political tumbler with hot power!
"In my opinion, Stimson's greatest achievement is to propose a nuclear assault on Japan, which eventually led to the US military dropping two atomic bombs
on Japan" "Unfortunately, the US military dropped too few atomic bombs on Japan, if I could drop twenty, it would be better, and I would admire Stimson even more!"
"Hahaha"
David and Christopher both burst out laughing.
After the laughter fell, Christopher continued:
"It seems that you have a deep hostility to Japan, but unfortunately history cannot be repeated!"
"Stimson's advocacy of a nuclear assault on Japan is to make a forced landing, not to wipe Japan off the face of the earth!"
After a few small talks, Xiao Ran returned to the topic.
"Christopher, now you can uncover these white cloths
in the niches, and this white cloth in the center of the room" "I need to check the situation in these niches, maybe I will find something
" "Combined with the time when these niches were built, in these niches, there may be some unknown secrets hidden
" "Ah!"
Christopher exclaimed, his eyes full of incredulity.
Immediately after, the guy shook his head.
"There may be some secrets hidden in these niches? Impossible, right?
"Every year when newcomers join, these niches are activated and nothing special is ever found"
That being said, the guy walked to the center of the room and lifted the white cloth that covered the coffin.
Then he went to the wall and uncovered the white cloth in the fifteen niches.
With his movements, a mouthful of black coffins appeared one by one.
Although they had long expected to see so many coffins, Xiao Ran and David were still shocked to see it.
David, in particular, his face became a little whiter, and his eyes became more contradictory.
After lifting all the white cloth, Christopher stepped aside and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"Sean, you can come forward and check it out, but it's best not to touch
these coffins" "New members who join our society must spend the night in these coffins and be in the coffins..."
At this point, Christopher suddenly stopped talking.
He suddenly realized that he had said a bit too much, as if he had said something that he shouldn't.
Fortunately, he woke up in time and did not leak too many secrets about the Skeleton Society.
Even so, Xiao Ran and David still felt a chill.
The thought of sleeping in these coffins for the night and doing something indescribable made them snort!
After adjusting his mood a little, Xiao Ran walked to the coffin in the center of the room and began to explore.
It was the largest and most lavish coffin in the room, carved out of black marble, but the rest of the coffins were made of iron.
On the panel of this coffin, the symbol of the Skeleton Society and the statue of the goddess of eloquence are engraved, as well as the Oath of Membership of the Skeleton Society.
In addition, there are many mysterious patterns and patterns engraved around the coffin, what the specific meaning is, it is unknown!
Xiao Ran stepped forward and carefully inspected the coffin, focusing on the coffin and the base, as well as the connection with the floor.
But he did not open the coffin board to check the situation inside the coffin.
After taking a closer look, he shook his head slightly and then walked towards the first niche on the right wall.
At the same time, he also carried the herringbone ladder to the alcove in case of emergency.
As soon as they approached this niche, Xiao Ran and David saw it.
The coffin erected in the alcove was densely engraved with the names of people, arranged from the top of the coffin downwards, and there were more than one hundred and thirty names.
The moment they saw these names, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, they had reacted.
The names engraved on the coffin board are all members of the Skeleton Society who once lived in this coffin.
The first night they joined the Skeleton Society, they spent in this coffin, and they had to do something indescribable inside!
After actually joining the Skeleton Society, their name will be engraved on the coffin board and they will become a member of the Skeleton Society.
It took more than one hundred and thirty years for so many names to be engraved on this coffin board.
Without thinking about it, the coffin plates in the other fourteen niches were in the same situation, also engraved with the names of the members of the Skeleton Society.
On the first coffin board alone, Xiao Ran and David saw many familiar names.
Many of these guys are famous figures in American history, but few people know that they are members of the Skeleton Society.
Among these guys is Robert Smith, who has served as Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State for 40 years in American politics. Loewit.
This guy is a member of the Skeleton Society of the Class of 1918, and it was only said that he was born in the Skeleton Society, but now he is completely solid!
In addition to the long-dead members of the Skeleton Society, on this coffin board, Xiao Ran and David also saw the names of several big people, all of whom are currently alive!
Some of these guys are senators or representatives, some are Wall Street bankers, some are senior judges, some are high-ranking local officials and so on.
However, no one in the outside world knows the identity of their Skeleton Society, let alone their connection to each other.
If people knew that they were all members of the Skeleton Society, many things that made people puzzled would suddenly be enlightened by this!
Looking at these familiar names, Xiao Ran and David were secretly shocked!
At the same time, they also feel an invisible threat!
