Chapter 114 Search Target

St. Samuel's Church, behind Chanis Gate.

Archbishop St. Anthony of Backlund stood at the entrance of the stairs connecting the first and second floors, watching several "Nighthawks" deacons busily going back and forth, many of them wearing red gloves.

As the spokesperson of the Church of the Evernight in the kingdom's capital, Saint Anthony's clean, beardless face showed no obvious emotions at this time, and his deep and dark eyes were also not hiding waves, but everyone who passed by him could Feeling the trembling of the soul, there is an indescribable and uncontrollable fear in my heart.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, after an inventory, all mystic materials are not lost, including the main ingredients of various potions and Extraordinary characteristics..."

"Your Excellency, the formulas of all the potions are in their original positions, and it is preliminarily confirmed that no one has touched them in the past eight hours..."

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, all the prisoners on the first floor are here, no one escaped, no one died..."

"Your Excellency, the various materials and classics have not been damaged or moved at all..."

"Your Excellency, the '3' and '2' sealed items are all here, and none of them have been taken away..."

"Your Excellency, the three '1' level sealed items are still in a sealed state, and there is no trace of leaving their respective areas..."

"Your Excellency, the core of the seal is still intact and has not been damaged at all..."

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, it has been confirmed that there is nothing extra here, and there are no dangerous arrangements left..."

"Your Excellency, the archbishop, I didn't find the enemy who sneaked in disguised as an internal watchman. He seems to have evaporated directly..."

As the deacons reported back one after another, things gradually became a little weird.

They couldn't imagine that a cunning and powerful Extraordinary took extremely high risks, after careful planning, and exhausted various methods, finally entered the Chanis Gate, walked around without taking anything, and left!

This makes the other party seem to be purely trying to prove their abilities, or to help the church find loopholes in the process of guarding the Chanis Gate.

Deacon Soest, who led a red-gloved team, looked around and said a guess of his own after deliberation:

"Your Excellency the archbishop, will it be a requirement for the promotion ceremony of which sequence?"

Having done the task of catching "demons", he habitually guessed in this direction, and starting from Sequence 5, the promotion ceremonies of different paths and sequences are different, and there are many people who have not been understood by the Church of Evernight.

If this is the case, Soest seems to have seen the mocking smile of the infiltrator, and said, "Even the Chanis Gate of the Church of Evernight, I can come and go freely, no different from going to a department store. Those 'Nighthawks' only Can go berserk because of incompetence after it's over."

Be sure to catch him! Soest quietly shook the palm of the red glove.

Just as Saint Anthony was about to speak, another "Nighthawk" deacon Daly Simone proposed a second possibility:

"Maybe the infiltrator was affected by a negative effect when trying to take a certain sealed item, died on the spot, and was swallowed up?"

Saint Anthony nodded thoughtfully and said:

"I'll go to the third floor to take a look first."

After finishing speaking, he steadily went deep into the second floor underground, and opened a path leading to the third floor in a hidden location.

The other deacons have no authority because of insufficient levels, so they can only wait where they are.

St. Anthony quickly came to the small third floor. With a glance, he preliminarily confirmed that there were no abnormal changes in the sealed items "1-29" and "1-80".

Following the strict procedure, he observed the situation inside "1-80" through "1-29", and found that "0-17" was lying there,

Eyes half open, as usual.

During this process, St. Anthony approached three times and opened the distance three times, sometimes changing positions, and sometimes covering himself with a layer of night, not daring to neglect in the slightest.

——Even if he is a saint, he does not dare to underestimate every item here, not to mention the "0-17" whose strength occasionally breaks through the "container", causing the seal to temporarily expire, even if "1-29" and "1- 80", are also quite dangerous things, Anthony does not want to degenerate into an "amnesiac" who has to relearn how to eat and drink water, let alone become part of the dream between reality and illusion.

No problem... Anthony breathed a sigh of relief silently, and began to restore the two outer sealed items to their previous state.

After a few minutes, the deacons of the "Nighthawks" saw His Excellency the archbishop return to the upper floor.

"The infiltrator may indeed have died due to contact with the sealed item." St. Anthony was a little vague when he said the word "death".

Without any explanation, he ordered instead:

"No matter what, this matter must be investigated clearly, the infiltrator probably has accomplices!

"Being able to infiltrate in St. Samuel's Church without causing any movement shows that the target is familiar with this place, is familiar with the recent rotation rules of the internal guards, is familiar with the handover process of the 'Nighthawks', and has the ability to change appearance. In addition, he also got the help of the Extraordinary who holds the holy object of the pathway to the night, or, it belongs to him.

"Combining these conditions, check whether the servants and priests have encountered unobvious psychics or inductions, check whether the bishops have betrayed the goddess, check the believers who have come to the church frequently recently... and check the neighborhoods where those believers are located. Maybe they didn't mean it. Leaked, but stolen, as for you, I will investigate.

"Also, find the missing servant and see if there are any clues."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop." Sost and other "Nighthawks" deacons responded at the same time.

In the rather tense office, Leonard Mitchell did not put his feet on the table as usual, but sat very solemnly with a serious expression.

This was the second time he encountered something about the objects behind Chanis's door, and he was reminded of the hidden memories in his heart.

And more importantly, he had met that fake internal watchman before, but he couldn't find the problem!

If, if I were stronger and had better observation skills, maybe I wouldn't... Leonard Mitchell pursed his lips tightly, staring at the document in front of him, but couldn't read a single word until a teammate came in .

"The internal watchman has woken up. He didn't see the infiltrator. He only knew that he was possessed by a resentful soul." The "Red Gloves" who came in said to everyone in the room.

"How could there be resentful spirits able to act inside the church?" Many "red gloves" raised questions, but no one could answer them.

Maybe that resentful soul believes in the goddess... Leonard muttered something in his heart, and while no one noticed himself in the corner, he lowered his voice, as if muttering to himself:

"Old man, didn't you notice anything unusual at that time?"

A slightly old voice echoed in his mind:

"I won't observe the outside world at any time, especially if it's near Chanis Gate."

Leonard didn't dare to ask more, and joined the discussion with his teammates.

Not long after, Soest, the captain of the "Red Gloves", entered the room and threw a stack of documents on the table:

"This is the target we need to investigate. The bishops provided a list of believers who have come to church frequently recently."

Leonard glanced over and saw a familiar name in the middle and back of the front page:

Dwayne Dantès!

This... This old guy who survived the Fourth Epoch just came to the nearby block for two months, and Chanis Gate was infiltrated. Could it be too coincidental? Moreover, he has been coming to Saint-Samuel Church often, and he is likely to observe the situation and find out the rules... The old man's excuse just now is not very convincing, but if the infiltrator is Dwayne Dantès, then everything can be justified Explained, he was afraid of exposing himself, so he pretended not to notice anything abnormal... Many thoughts flashed through Leonard Mitchell's mind, and he said after deliberation:

"Captain Soest, what did that infiltrator take? What clues did he leave behind?"

Soest looked around and said:

"Nothing was taken away, nothing was left, as if he had never been in there before. His Excellency the archbishop initially suspected that he had died and evaporated because of contact with certain sealed items. We are mainly looking for his accomplices."

No, Dwayne Dantès couldn't die so easily! He is a monster who has lived from the Fourth Epoch to the present... However, why did he sneak in? Leonard frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and then took the initiative to include Dawn Dantès in the investigation range of himself and his two teammates.

When the "Red Gloves" and the local "Nighthawks" started to move, Leonard found an excuse, went to the bathroom first, and said in a low voice:

"What do you want to say about Dwayne Dantès?"

He didn't try to expose the internal parasite's lie just now.

That somewhat aged voice said with a chuckle:

"Didn't I already tell you? I don't know much about him, I only know that he has something special about him, and his breath has an ancient taste.

"However, a case you investigated before gave me some inspiration. I suspect that Dawn Dantès may have some connection with that matter, and he is an agent of existence."

"What's the matter? Who exists?" Leonard whispered in amazement.

The old voice in his mind replied in a rather strange tone:

"A fool who does not belong to this era."

160 Berklund Street.

After Klein finished his breakfast, he returned to the semi-open room with a large balcony, sat on the easy chair, and rubbed his forehead with his hands.

When the tense state gradually receded, Klein found himself in a trance. The corpses hanging in mid-air in the ancient church would always appear in front of him, and the transparent worm that was vague in the depths of his memory would always appear. , there seems to be an illusory voice echoing in my ears:

"Honakis...Freguera..."

Although I quickly cut off the connection with Secret Puppet at that time, I was still affected to a certain extent, and my spirit was slightly polluted... It is indeed a real mythical creature... After the initial investigation, I have to start to solve the residue of this aspect There's a problem... Klein let out a breath slowly, using meditation to calm himself down.
