Doug, who sneaked into the dungeon, didn't know what was happening outside. For him, finding Sophia's body quickly was much more important than other things.
The underground of the Inquisition is not as spooky and terrifying as described in the folk forbidden books. On the contrary, the decoration here is exactly the same as that of Poseidon Church. The first thing you see is gorgeous decoration and clean environment, but it is a little damper because it is underground.
The exit of the tunnel was an empty cell. Doug stuck his head out and observed it before carefully climbing out of the hole.
The cell is small and the furnishings are very simple. There is a single bed placed against the left wall, and a statue of Poseidon is embedded in the opposite wall. Because there are no prisoners, the iron door of the corridor is open.
Doug crouched half-crouched at the door, waiting for the patrolling guard to pass by.
Although the kidnapping operation was outside the Inquisition, just in case, Lysa told Doug the map here and the guard patrol and shift changing times before the operation started. There were no guards on the ground floor, so he initially planned to knock out a patrolling guard and change into someone else's clothes before starting the operation.
Before long, footsteps sounded at the end of the corridor, and soon a soldier wearing dark blue light armor walked to the empty cell.
The place was empty, so he let his guard down. Doug seized the opportunity and reached out at lightning speed to grab him into the cell. He wrapped his legs around the guard's arms and punched him in the jaw to knock him unconscious.
A minute later, the guard walked out of the cell and continued patrolling, but it seemed that the light armor was a little loose and did not fit well.
"We have to go down one more floor. Turn right at the end of this corridor." Sophia's voice appeared in her ears, directing Doug to move in the right direction.
The place outside the Inquisition has become a mess because of Revery's "arrogant" speech. The guards inside did not know where they got the news, and they were discussing in twos and threes. As for patrolling and guarding, most of them had long abandoned their duties. The back of my mind - anyway, there has never been any escape incident in the more than 200 years since the Inquisition of Dortmund was built, and there will be no difference today.
Doug "sneaked in" in this relaxed environment, and everything went incredibly smoothly.
"What's going on? Even if the guards are lax, they won't be so lax, right?"
Everything went well, and Mariano also joked: "You have to ask your old friend. She has always been scheming. Maybe she is responsible for this."
[Could it be a trap? ]
"You are too cautious. Sometimes being too cautious is not a good thing." Doug said this, and slowly put his right hand on the holster on his waist.
After going down to the second floor, the entire environment has undergone a fundamental change, closer to the stereotype of being dark and damp, but the living environment of the prisoners is not much different from the one on the previous floor.
The second underground floor was incarcerated with ruthless people who had their lives on their backs. As Doug walked in the corridor, he always felt like dagger-like eyes were shooting out of the cell doors on both sides.
"Go to the end and turn left, then turn right at the first intersection, which is the second to last one."
Doug faced the guard's suspicious eyes all the way forward, with a serious and serious expression, as firm as a defender who was ready to sacrifice his life for Poseidon at any time. Some guards would look away immediately if they accidentally met his eyes, as if Doug's eyes could kill.
[Didn’t I say that the bishop would come to preach to heretics? Why haven't I seen him? ] Austin was a little confused.
"Indeed, not really, maybe right in front." Doug replied, but did not slow down his progress.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Go back to your area of responsibility."
The sudden voice behind him startled Doug, but he didn't show it.
"Hey, did you hear me?" the man asked again, and the guards on both sides also cast their eyes over.
Austin slowly turned around and saluted the visitor with a standard Dofrera military salute - due to the decline of the Poseidon Church, most of the guards here were transferred from the army.
The man was not wearing light armor. He was only wearing a uniform of the Army of the Kingdom of Dofrera without a rank. He had a revolver holster on his belt and a pamphlet in his hand. He looked like he was a squad leader who came to count people. .
"Sir, I was ordered to find Bishop Trump. The administrator has important matters to discuss with him." Austin said the prepared words with a serious face.
The squad leader's face changed. He obviously knew what was happening outside, and he froze on the spot and started making a bunch of strange associations.
This reaction left Austin confused. He couldn't move or fight, so he could only stand.
After a while, the team leader came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, the bishop is at the back."
Austin saluted again, then turned and continued on, but at a slightly faster pace.
"Inside?" Austin's mouth twitched, with an ominous premonition, "He's not in your body, is he?"
"Most likely." Sophia's spirit body shook its head helplessly, "I don't know what he is doing there."
Turning right at the fork in the road, I saw Trung kneeling at the end of the corridor.
There were no other guards here, only Trang was sitting there kneeling, but he put a mountain of pressure on Austin.
Doug exhaled softly, and quietly stretched his right hand behind him to hold the black sea anemone's touch - if that didn't work, then turning into a sea anemone would be considered alive.
As if he heard the footsteps, Trung turned his head slightly to look at Doug, then stood up and said calmly: "You are finally here."
Doug frowned and did not answer his words. Instead, he pretended to be surprised, stopped, stood there and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Bishop? I am here to invite you to discuss the requirements on the orders of the administrator." Yes."
Tran wrapped his hands in the large priest's robe and said in a voice with no emotion: "I have known for a long time that you will come back to find your physical body. What is your situation now? A confusing spirit body? Or do you directly occupy it? Got this body?"
Doug knew in his heart that this guy was the bishop who asked Biers to steal Sophia's soul. At this moment, he thought that Sophia controlled others to steal his body.
"Although the sacrifice on Bahar Island failed, as long as I get your soul, I also know the locations of other altars." Trung muttered, while approaching Doug step by step, "As long as I get your soul Soul, our great Lord will walk the earth again!”
Doug narrowed his eyes, took a step back, took out the revolver from his waist with his left hand and pointed it at Trung: "I want to see if the magic crystal can kill you, a confused man who believes in religion and demons."
"As soon as you shoot, all the guards will rush over. How will you take this body away then?"
Lysa has also thought about this problem, so the gun in Doug's hand is a pseudo-artifact made of magical crystal, a "silent pistol" that can only fire six bullets.
"Guess whether I'm stupid or not? If there is a voice, will I take it out? It was you who did it. Aren't you afraid that the guards will come and I will expose your background?"
"I guess you won't kill me, because you want to know more from me." Trang suddenly said something arrogant, then laughed contemptuously, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Help Ah! Murder! Someone is trying to rob the prison! Help! Someone, please come!"
While shouting, he took out a small and exquisite flintlock gun from his cuff, and shot himself in the shoulder under Doug's disbelieving eyes. He rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Holy shit, are you just trying to get into trouble here?" Doug really didn't expect this to happen, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
There were dense footsteps and shouts of guards in the corridor - Doug's infiltration failed in a very abstract situation.
