Arriving at the familiar second door, Su Li, under the guidance of Bishop Dalton, changed into protective clothing and a beak mask.
This is a crucial step that must be taken in the polluted world behind the door.
As he put on the pollution-proof suit, the second door slowly opened under the control of Bishop Dalton.
The space inside was much larger than the door of Chenix in Sadrith. Originally, Su Li thought that this would be a dark kingdom, full of cold and silence, with only one person on duty.
However, when he entered, the magnificent scene in front of him shocked him.
Inside the Chenix door at the bottom of the Black Night Church, it was as bright as the ocean in the sunlight.
There were no dim gas lights here, and there were no candles with silver patterns commonly seen in the church.
In the sky, there were large protective arrays engraved, and in the space above the huge glass interlayer, sky whales emitted a faint blue light as they roamed in the blue-tinted space.
In front of Su Li, instead of shelves storing sealed items, there were huge and heavy black iron cells.
These rooms, large or small, had a team of night watchmen in protective suits holding mechanical rifles standing in the corridors.
Through the iron bars of the cells, Su Li saw a large number of imprisoned cultists, wild transcendent beings, and various contaminated sub-humans, and even night watchmen who might go out of control.
Bishop Dalton introduced to Su Li, "They are all experimental subjects used to test the negative effects of sealed items. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of our internal night watchmen voluntarily choosing to participate in the experiment when they are on the verge of losing control."
"They choose to use their own lives to contribute the final light and heat to the church. Therefore, behind the detailed negative effects of each sealed item, there are hidden the heavy prices paid by a large number of experimenters and their precious lives."
Hearing Bishop Dalton's words, Su Li couldn't help but sigh. The footsteps of human progress have never stopped, and it is these contributors who silently pay behind the scenes.
Passing through the cells with powerful seals, Su Li, carrying a box, followed Dalton down to the second level of the Chenix door.
For any transcendent being, the second level was quite attractive.
Because it stored various transcendent materials, magic medicine formulas, and secret knowledge.

Here, Su Li saw huge forbidden bookshelves, giant skulls over three meters high, various organ tissues soaked in containers, transcendent beings, and a huge botanical garden like a sunlit greenhouse.
Inside, many night watchmen were pruning these flowers and trees, some of them coexisting and breeding, and some being cultivated alone in a special environment.
Among them, Su Li saw a huge flower planted in a pool of blood, with a face on each petal, male or female, very eerie.
After passing through the second level, they entered the third level.
Su Li saw more stone chambers here, which also had a large number of duty personnel.
Some of them observed the situation inside through the strong seals of the stone chambers.
Some were communicating with the experimenters inside the stone chambers.
Some even talked to the sealed items, constantly writing and drawing on their records.
When they arrived, Su Li caught several duty personnel dragging out several bodies.
Their deaths were miserable, and some duty personnel were crying softly.
Facing the experimenters covered in black cloth, Bishop Dalton gestured for Su Li to temporarily stop and stand by the road.
The people who were driven away were the night watchmen who voluntarily tested the negative effects of the sealed items for the Black Night Church.
A female researcher tightly held a notebook with very messy handwriting, obviously the record of this deceased researcher before her death.
Su Li silently watched the bodies being pushed away, feeling heavier in his heart.
Silently following Bishop Dalton through the experimental area, they finally arrived at an iron gate.
This was still an iron gate engraved with a large number of Black Night emblems.
There were several large stone chambers in front of the gate, with stone-like sculptures standing inside.
Su Li's gaze fell on these sculptures, and he clearly felt that these sculptures were alive, but they did not move at all, just coldly "staring" at Su Li and Bishop Dalton.
The bishop, with wet hair, raised a gas lamp, and the light inside slowly lit up.
He raised the lamp, illuminating the steps down layer by layer in front of the iron gate, and reminded Su Li, "Here, do not run. Do not panic, otherwise you may be attacked and controlled by the core of the seal."
Su Li shuddered, unlike the other three areas.
There were no living people here anymore.
The darkness in the distance became thicker and thicker, and even Su Li, as a night traveler, could not see too far.
The gas lamp in his hand could not illuminate the farther area in front of him, and could only dispel a little darkness through the light of the candle.
Fear, chill, and coldness.
Su Li's sixth sense clearly told him that if the oil lamp suddenly went out at this time, the pure darkness would definitely bring unimaginable terrifying changes, and he and Bishop Dalton would be completely engulfed by the monsters of the darkness, becoming sacrifices for the death of the fourth level.
Under the leadership of Bishop Dalton, they came to a wall built of different materials such as mithril, soil, bones, steel, gold, wood, and stone.
These walls separated many spaces of different sizes.
Some emitted a foul smell, some continued to burn flames, some used corpses as containers, and some were soaked in liquid.
Carrying the lamp, they turned right. Under the guidance of Bishop Dalton, Su Li opened the skull of a dead person.
"This is the container used to hold the nightmare pipe.""After numerous experiments, we discovered that this second-level sealed object must be stored in an active pituitary gland to settle down."
Su Li looked at the corpse in front of him, whose skull had been lifted, and whose brain was emitting light, and inexplicably felt a sense of sanctity.
Cardinal Dalton said:
"This is the body of a saint borrowed from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom. Even in death, his brain remains active, making it suitable for sealing the Nightmare Pipe."
Carefully placing the pipe into the saint's brain, Dalton meticulously covered the skull and paid his respects to the wise-looking deceased, who appeared venerable with age.
Then, he said:
"Let's go. Containing the Plague Box is quite simple; all it takes is a sealed box to temporarily lock it away."
Following Dalton, they sealed the Plague Box in a house made of mud. The two used mud shovels to smooth over the seal with soil. After a spiritual check confirmed it was completely sealed, the cardinal said:
"Very good, you have completed your task well. Should there be an opportunity to take a turn at the Chenix Gate, I will introduce you to more methods of containing sealed objects."
"Let's go and disinfect, and after that, you are free to move about."
