Alexander left the church thinking about Joubert's words

If someone asked him who is the person he hates the most

He will immediately think of two specific names

Joubert, and Fournier

These are the officers in charge of this bunker

Clément was just an ordinary young man who was forced to serve in the army during the World War

Most young people at that time had some romantic and dramatic fantasies when it came to war

Who among them does not want to become a hero and save his country from aggressor invaders?

But what awaited them was hell

The war stripped away what remained of their innocence, like a butcher skinning his victim without paying attention to her screams and pain.

The only thing that kept him sane was the friend he made there

Augustin Lambert

Lambert was three years older, but his body was lean, and he wore round glasses that gave him a scholarly appearance.

Lambert was a religious type. He was able to convince his officers to convert one of the rooms of the bunker into a church

The officers accepted this proposal. They thought that the presence of a church inside this desolate bunker would provide some moral support to the soldiers.

Lambert built this chapel himself

He performed prayers before every impending attack

If someone wanted to find Lambert, all they had to do was go to church

He will be there, no doubt

Alexander greatly respected his dear friend

Lambert was always talking about his little daughter waiting for him at home

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

He was able to find a rabbit doll in one of the rooms of the fort, and since then he has carried this doll with him wherever he goes.

I'm sure Tassie will love this doll...that's what Lambert was saying, with a simple father's smile on his face

Everything was going well, they were suffering because of the war, but they were living their normal, simple lives

But everything changed suddenly

Alexander felt his heart clench as he walked through these familiar corridors

He stood in front of a tightly closed room

This is Officer Joubert's room

One of the officers who abandoned them and escaped

Not only did they abandon them, they blew up the exit and closed it

This led to them being trapped inside the underground bunker with that terrifying monster

Alexander continued walking until he reached a wide tunnel

The bunker's tunnels were made of cement and supported by metal columns

But this tunnel that Alexander was standing in front of was different, as if it had been carved out of stone, with mystical patterns and incantations on its walls and ceiling.

Anyone can realize that this tunnel belonged to an ancient civilization

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Alexander heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside the dark tunnel

A soldier appeared in front of him carrying a gun

This soldier was in a miserable condition, his beard was unkempt, his clothes were torn, his skin had become rough and cracked, and he was covering his eyes with a white cloth.

The man pointed the gun at Alexander, and spoke in a hoarse voice. "I didn't expect to see you here..."

"I'm not happy to see you either, Salem..." Alexander sat on one of the boxes set aside

He looked deeply at Salem

This soldier was one of the few survivors of the massacre that took place inside the bunker

But he went crazy

At that time, Alexander had to escape from the monster, and at the same time he had to fight Salem, who had gone mad

Alexander remembered how he was afraid of Salem when he was fighting him inside the tunnels and rooms of the bunker

They were playing a game of cat and mouse, the problem was that Alexander would die if he was caught

Even after he was able to kill him and get rid of him once and for all, Salem began to come to him in his dreams

At first he tries to escape and fight Salem, but in the end he gets tired

He had fought Salem thousands of times, he couldn't continue this

"Looks like you're still having a good time." Alexander looked at the bottle hanging on Salem's waist

"You had the opportunity to share this pleasure with me..."

"Do you want me to continue living these crazy fantasies?.." Alexander's voice became sarcastic. "No thanks, I have no interest in the orgies that these crazy people perform."

"At least, you won't have to go through all that suffering and pain."

"I don't want to live with a numb body and a mind that only thinks about pleasures... Besides, you have a lot of companions accompanying you, so I don't want to disturb you while you perform your satanic rituals.."

"Hmm?.." Salem tilted his head to the side slightly

"I am talking about the Mithraites..." Alexander explained

"Oh.." Salem nods

Alexander got up and stood several meters away from Salem, spreading his arms. "Okay, get me out of this nightmare."

Salem grunted in annoyance, but did not speak

Alexander closed his eyes, even after being shot thousands of times, he couldn't get used to it

Alexander heard the sound of gunfire

He opened his eyes to find Alfred in front of him, trying to put something on the table

"Young Master, I brought you some cake and tea so you can rest for a while after you finish your studies..."

There was a small table in front of Alexander, on which was a plate containing some cakes, and next to the plate was a cup emitting steam

"I sincerely apologize if I disturbed your naps." Alfred bowed

Alexander smiled gently as he picked up the cup of tea. "Thank you, Alfred."

"No need to thank me, young master, you are doing your best these days..." Alfred smiled like a grandfather proud of his grandson

"Don't you think that these efforts came too late?..." Alexander took a sip of hot tea

"Not at all, the young master went through many difficulties and faced setbacks in his way, but you stood on your feet and tried again. Even if others rejected you and did not care about your attempts, this old man will encourage you every time you fall and applaud you every time You stand on your feet...

Alexander looked at the old servant in amazement. He did not expect such words

Alexander suddenly remembered memories related to Alfred

His parents were busy all the time due to their responsibilities, so Alfred took on the role of educator

This old man looked at Alexander like his grandson

"Alfred.."

"Yes, young master?.."

"Thank you.."
