The nun who had been praying quietly in front of the statue of the goddess disappeared.
There was only an empty ground left in front of the pulpit. Bright gas lamps illuminated the empty main hall and rows of seats. Vanna and the guardian warriors searched the main hall, which was not too big. The weird "nun" was not found.
Of course Fanna knew that the nun probably "didn't exist" from the beginning - the other person's body had obviously died in the underground church many years ago, and now the person who maintains the prayers in the main hall is just a phantom of the other person. , but even the sudden disappearance of this phantom still made everyone feel uneasy in confusion.
"There aren't any in the corridors or small rooms here either!"
The last two defenders who went to search also returned to the main hall, and their reports confirmed one thing: the nun's "phantom" had really completely disappeared from the church.
Fanna frowned slightly, thinking quickly in her mind -
The phantom disappeared, but when did she disappear?
Was it when Bai Ji entered the underground church for the second time? Was it when Bai Ji saw the string of numbers written by the real nun before she died? Or...
When the strange green flames ignited out of thin air and wiped away the traces on the ground?
If it is the former, then the disappearance of the phantom is probably because he, the "observer from the real world", has seen through the truth, thus destroying part of the illusion here, and if it is the latter... it means that the ghost captain Take action.
While the ghost captain erased the traces in the underground temple, he also erased the phantom of the nun in the main hall - for reasons that no one knows.
There will be no more discoveries if you continue to stay here. The top priority is to tell Bishop Valentine the current information, and then go to the archives to confirm the warning signs he just noticed.
Vanna quickly led the team members out of the church. They stepped through the church door, and when they looked back again, what they saw was that the church was completely deserted and dilapidated.
Vanna breathed out. At least Bai had led her subordinates safely away from this strange place. Then she suddenly felt something in her heart and subconsciously raised her head to look above the church.
A chubby white pigeon is standing on a high spire, tilting its head and looking here, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Why is this pigeon still there?
Fanna couldn't help but feel a little curious, but she quickly ignored these doubts. After arranging the personnel to stay around the chapel, she turned around and got in the car, embarking on the road back to the Central Cathedral.
The white dove flapped its wings and flew away from the church quickly.
But the pigeon didn't fly too far - after it escaped the sight of the guards staying around the church, it went directly into a nearby alley.
The green spiritual fire rose rapidly in the deserted alley, turning into doors and whirlpools. Duncan stepped out of the flames, then frowned slightly and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the church.
It was right to expose this matter. Attracting Fanna and the "official force" behind Fanna really yielded unexpected results - the investigation moved forward. Professionals are professionals, and their knowledge is far beyond expectations. Very wild like Shirley and Agou.
When the distance is close enough, Duncan can directly monitor the movement around the target through the "mark" he left on the target. Since the mark on Fan Nuo has been strengthened when she last visited the antique shop, this kind of monitoring It can even allow Duncan to sense the emotional fluctuations of the young inquisitor to a certain extent - he and Ai have been staying above the church just now, and through this kind of monitoring, he "watched" the whole process of the guardian team's exploration in the church. process.
Duncan was thinking quietly in the shadow of the alley, sorting out the information he had just received.
The nun was most likely fighting against her own "Arconic Projection" - there were no other intruders at all. The intruders ran out of the "crack" in her own soul?
The priests of this world... once they are completely overwhelmed by pollution, will they directly become a "channel" connecting subspace and the real world?
Is it only the clergy who are like this, or do all humans have this hidden danger, and the clergy are even more dangerous after being contaminated?
Of all the information, this was the one that concerned Duncan the most, and also made him most surprised and confused (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 174 The Eve of the Storm
A confused one.
Duncan doesn't know much about the several righteous gods in this world and the churches under their names, but at least through his observations during this period, he can confirm that the positions of these churches are on the side of order and protection. The clergymen ensure the security of the city-state in the extraordinary realm, and they are also the strongest line of defense against the "deep" pollution of the world.
However, now he knows that this firm line of defense, under certain conditions, will itself become a "pipeline" between the real world and subspace... Why is this?
If this transformation will not only happen to the priests, but all human beings will be transformed into karma space channels under certain conditions, then what does this mean?
The connection between the subspace, which is extremely feared by the world, and the real world and mortals seems to be more complicated than he initially imagined...
In addition to this piece of information, there is also the string of numbers "1885" left by the nun.
This is indeed a detail that Duncan and Shirley never discovered when they came here to explore before, and it is also a detail that surprises Duncan now.
If Vanna's judgment is correct, the nun did not die in the sun debris incident in 1889, but died in 1885 - and in the years after that, this small church should have been distorted in time and space. Shrouded!
What does this mean?
Duncan's thoughts were ups and downs, and he slowly raised his hand. He gently rubbed his fingertips, and a green flame burned quietly in his sight.
He could clearly feel that the spiritual fire was spreading in the tomb - in the invisible dimension, spreading on the "other side" of the Puland city-state, and at the same time, weak feedback continued to be sent to him.
This is his third confusion.
Shortly after Fan Li discovered the string of numbers in the underground temple, the string of numbers disappeared out of thin air. At that time, spiritual fire briefly appeared. The young judge must have thought that this was the handwriting of "Captain Duncan". But in fact……
Duncan was even more confused than she was.
That string of numbers was not erased by Duncan. He had no idea why the flames he released suddenly appeared in the underground temple and burned the string of numbers "1885" in a targeted manner - this gave him a feeling , as if the flame did not extend to the church in space, but extended to 1885 in time!
Duncan was suddenly stunned.
Maybe...this is not an illusion...
For some reason, he suddenly recalled the time when he was studying Alice's wooden box, and recalled the instructions he heard when he spied on the scene of the Frost Queen's execution half a century ago -
"...Please don't pollute history..."
Duncan's face was as dark as water, and his brows were wrinkled little by little. He thought of a sentence he heard not long ago:
Except for subspace, everything in this world can be contaminated.
…
Vanna returned to the cathedral in a hurry. She wanted to go to the archives as soon as possible to confirm what the serious sense of disobedience in her memory was, but she still went to see Bishop Valentin first to explain the situation. He told the old man the results of his investigation at the Sixth Street chapel.
After listening to Vanna's story, Valentin remained silent for a long time. He frowned and thought for a long time, and then muttered with a toothache-like expression: "Subspace... this is really one of all the troublesome situations." The most troublesome kind..."
"When we were preparing to leave, the string of numbers pointing to 1885 in the chapel and the nuns praying in the main hall were missing, which seemed to be related to the power of Captain Duncan," Fanner added, " But we did not stay in the church for repeated testing because of concerns about the risk of contamination spreading."
"...Correct caution," Bishop Valentine nodded slightly, "We are still not sure what the attitude of the ghost captain is. Now it seems that although he did provide us with an important piece of information, he is also Finally wiped out some clues... Anyway, he is not our 'friend,'"
Fanna pondered for a moment and looked at the old man in front of her: "Is there any response from the church headquarters? Have you reported the situation here to His Majesty the Pope?"
Valentin glanced at Vanna, nodded and said: "I have exhausted the situation here (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 174 The Eve of the Storm
Several reports were reported to the Storm Cathedral, and His Majesty the Pope said that he would send support as soon as possible - but the church is still far away from Purand, and even the fastest speedboat would be difficult to arrive within a few days, so... it is better to do a good job Just rely on your own preparation. "
As he spoke, the old bishop sighed softly, turned around and stared at the icon of the Storm Goddess.
"Disaster is brewing, and we don't know when it will break out. Whether Puland, the pearl on the sea, can wipe away the haze depends on our own ability."
