If the four men in the way weren't members of the Key Society, and the Eye of Knowledge hadn't gotten their message, Downey probably wouldn't have made that choice.

"How do you know the key will?" Thorne continued to feign confusion, unwilling to admit that he knew of the Key's existence.

At this point, Donnie wouldn't have believed Thorne's words at all, and now that he had found out, everyone couldn't trust it easily, otherwise they would probably fall into the pit.

But what's the solution? I have already fallen into the pit, and now I can only find a way to solve the problem.

Thorne first looked at Donnie with confidence, and then his expression gradually softened.

"I don't know where you found out about the Key, but if you're just curious—" Thorne was about to continue, but was interrupted by Donnie.

"The key will have something to do with me, I don't want to tell you the specifics, but if you want me to help you, just tell me about you."

Downey didn't back down on the matter, because he was sure that Thorne had no better choice.

Since the Lotholon family tacitly agreed that he lived in the bunker, and the people of the Key Society were also not excluded from entering the bunker to spy on Thorne, no one dared to help Thorne.

"Since that's the case..."Thorne sat back, pinched the bridge of his nose and thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "You sit down first, those people won't come in, they still have to take care of the face of the Luo Solon family, and they don't dare to go too far." ”

Donnie moved a chair and sat down at the counter, looking across from Thorne, and soon the old wizard spoke, "Don't be surprised what I'm going to say next, once, I mean once, when I wasn't that old, was a member of the Key Society. ”

"It was a transcendent organization that pursued mystery, believing that there was a door in the world that could open all passages."

Donnie nodded, he already knew this from Lawrence, but he didn't say it directly at the moment.

"When I joined the Key Society, this transcendent organization that implements secrecy proclaimed that it was beautiful, that if we open that door, we will get everything, whether it is money, love, wealth, or time in the world, and even if we open that door, we can get everything in the world and know everything."

"But until then, the key will have to find the key to open that door."

Thorne paused at this point, and Downey immediately seized the opportunity to say, "I've heard of these too, but I'm only curious about one question, do those people know where that door is?" What's the use of just finding the key? ”

Thorne smiled and continued, "For people like me, mystery must be a lifelong pursuit, and an organization like the Key Society is just a channel or springboard for gaining knowledge. But the key will be different, and I used to think that it was just a common method used by transcendent organizations, to draw a big pie, which can neither be seen nor eaten. ”

At this point, Thorne's eyes flickered, "The silver key allows me to see the door, which exists in the human body, and through that key ritual, we can pour our consciousness into the body of others, and see the door through the eyes of others. ”

"I can't put into words what that door looks like, and believe me, any words to describe His presence would pale in comparison. Even if you can't push the door open, just standing far away from the door can feel incomparable pleasure, and no sensory stimulation can reach that level. ”

Donnie didn't want to interrupt Thorne's words, but Thorne's expression was already a little wrong, he seemed to be too obsessed with recalling the feeling at the beginning, and he was a little sinking at the moment.

In the mystery, there are many existences or phenomena that must not be delved into and cannot be looked at directly, otherwise extremely bad things will happen.

In the Esoteric Games, the construction of the transcendent world of the Free Federal Region has some shadows of famous books, such as the Harry Potter series and the Cthulhu series, so there are some situations that can have extremely bad consequences once they are pursued.

Just like the original 'Emerald Mountain God', it is said that he is based on a deity in the Cthulhu Mythos.

With Donnie's strength, it was impossible to look at him directly, otherwise there was likely to be an abnormal situation, and the vampire demigod couldn't be more miserable, so there was no problem.

Now, the door that Thorne described as existing in the human body is likely to be the key to actively contact a great being through some means.

It's like an ant dangling at your feet, you may choose to ignore it, or you may step on it to death, and few people will bend down, squat on the ground and hold the ant in the palm of their hand and talk to each other.

Even those children who play with their hearts are very serious, and when they lift the ants up, when they are bored, or unintentionally, it is likely to cause the little ants to die.

In the secret realm, those beings generally refer to evil gods, or some beings whose strength is no less than that of gods, in short, the probability of getting a good result is very low.

Seeing that Thorne's narrative was about to turn into a babble in a state of confusion, Downey had to pat the table to bring Thorne back to his senses, "It's never a good thing to overly reminisce about the past and dwell on it!" ”

After being 'woken' up by Donnie, Thorne's face changed for a moment, apparently realizing what had just happened.

"Thank you, I've been avoiding meditation for the past two years, just because I'm afraid of what happened just now."

Thorne waved his hand to fetch a bottle of spirits from the other side of the room, and without asking Donnie if he wanted it, he poured it all down himself.

"Can you believe it, only this kind of thing can calm me down, believe me, what I just said was not intentional, I don't know why, I just said it."

The wine was spilled a lot, and the wizard who had been calm before was now like a drunk.

"I must never mention that thing again, and I will ignore or refer to it in the future narrative. I can't talk about that ritual either, and what I'm going to say next is why I left them. ”

"I can see that you will be very unhappy with the key, and there will even be a grudge between the two sides. But you don't seem to know enough about the key society, first of all, the key will use the key to prove identity, as far as I know, the highest level person holds a golden key, and the others are divided by silver and brass. ”

"I've already told you the purpose of the Key Society, and in order to find the key, they... To be precise, we've done a lot of research. This research gradually changed into an endless quest for power, splicing strange parts onto humans through spells, making them more endurable and more twisted..."

"In short, in the end, I really couldn't accept it, plus I missed my family every day, and I had already planned to quit, so I burned down a stronghold of the Key Society, wanting to fake my death to escape."
