Chapter 128 The Mystery in the Temple

As time went on, only the footsteps of Val and the other two could be heard on the hot road. Although they were not clear, they could be heard far away in this dry and empty field.

"Hey, look! This is the mark of our people. It seems that the destination should not be far away." Val suddenly saw something on the side of the road and shouted happily.

"Shut up! Val. Do you want everyone to know our mission?" The captain scolded again, but there was a bit of joy in his tone.

Although he could endure it, walking on such an empty and hot road, the sun above his head alone could make people mentally collapse.

Now that they were very close to the destination, it proved that their boring journey was about to end.

"Rest in the shade of the tree for ten minutes, and then continue on the road. Try to get to the vicinity of the temple before the sun sets today, and then explore the road at night." The leader first glanced at the still scorching sun above his head, and then looked at the shade of the tree not far away and said.

Val and another person were relieved when they heard the order, and each chose a shaded place to rest.

At night, a temple somewhere in southern India.

In the dead of night, some people in dark clothes quietly appeared near the temple. They first wandered around the temple and headed to different areas in a tacit understanding.

After finding out the terrain and situation nearby, they gathered beside the temple and looked inside the temple.

Barty Crouch's order was to find out the news near the temple. Since it was not forbidden to enter the temple, the temple was naturally within the scope of finding out the news.

As the largest temple in the Indian princely state, this temple named Padmanabhaswamy naturally has its own garrison.

Especially when there are so many believers in India, the donations from believers are also a considerable fortune.

In order to protect these treasures from malicious prying, the temple's garrison is also strong. Even in the dark night when you can't see your hand in front of your face, there are two patrol teams holding torches to patrol.

But it is obvious that these guarding forces composed entirely of Indian civilians are definitely no match for the Royal Security Intelligence Agency.

In a corner that these monks and guards did not notice, several agile intelligence officers slipped in unnoticed.

The area of ​​the temple is very large. It is not a complete building, but a huge temple composed of several unconnected buildings.

After exploring all the buildings, the intelligence officers still found nothing.

According to their investigation, this temple is the same as other temples in India. Except for its huge area, there is basically no other difference.

But Director Barty Crouch will not make fun of them, right? Australia is so far away from India, and everyone believes that their purpose of coming here is definitely not as simple as exploring an ordinary temple.

"Hey! Here, look here!"

The people who were searching immediately heard this obvious shout and hurried to the source of the sound.

This is a building that looks a bit dilapidated, located in the heart of the temple. Unlike other magnificent buildings around, this building is a bit old and has been in disrepair for a long time. It doesn't look like it is often used.

Even the path in front of the building is overgrown with weeds. It is obvious that not many people come here.

Everyone looked at each other and felt that there must be something strange about this building. Is it normal that there is a dilapidated building in such a magnificent temple and almost no one comes?

You know, there are countless believers in this temple during the day, and most of the buildings are crowded with people.

Under such circumstances, such a dilapidated building with few people seems a bit special.

Everyone sneaked in quietly and found the difference between this place and other places.

Most of the garrison forces of this temple are on the periphery, that is, the patrols outside with torches.

There is basically no protective force in the temple, which is why everyone explored so smoothly.

But now, there are two guards on duty in such a dilapidated building. Although the guards are almost asleep, it is absolutely undeniable that there must be something important hidden in this building.

Because they didn't want to alert the enemy, everyone chose to retreat after a brief exchange.

Tonight, they had almost learned about the temple and had discovered something strange inside the temple.

The next step was to wait for Barty Crouch's next order, and then decide whether to go inside the building.

What all the intelligence personnel didn't expect was that the purpose of this operation was really the building inside the temple.

Although they missed a good opportunity to go in, they did have a clearer understanding of the situation around and inside the temple.

Barty Crouch made a prompt decision and decided to re-enter the temple that night after gathering everyone.

Barty Crouch knew what was in the temple, so he was well prepared.

In addition to a small group of people who continued to explore the temple, the rest of the people looked for opportunities to deal with the patrol guards outside the temple and keep watch for the people inside the temple.

As long as all the guards outside were dealt with, the people inside the temple could transport the specific treasure to the door for loading after finding it.

It was still the same dilapidated building, and there were still two guards who were almost falling asleep while standing.

This action was very decisive. Two intelligence officers sneaked behind the guards, took out their daggers and wiped them hard. The two guards fell down like gristle.

The intelligence officers had investigated and found that there were basically no guards inside the temple, except for these two people.

The temple used most of its guards to stand guard and patrol outside, which is why everyone dared to kill these two guards directly.

Barty Crouch gave a look, and everyone entered the building one after another.

Inside the building were statues of gods one after another. Because no one had come in for a long time, the statues were already covered with dust.

"Check separately, and gather immediately if you find anything." Barty Crouch ordered.

Everyone began to check inside the building, knocking and touching the statues left and right, trying not to miss any details.

Dong Dong Dong!

An intelligence officer found something wrong and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Director! This place is empty!"

In an instant, the busy people gathered and looked at the place where the person who spoke was pointing.

Boom boom boom!

Barty Crouch's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered: "Pry it open!"

First update, I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve!
