Chapter 108 Waiting for nightfall to watch
the remaining two investigators take the prisoners out of the church, Ronald stood at the door in a daze for a long time before coming back to his senses.
The first thing he did at this moment was to look at the pistol in his arms.
Then.
——A few drops of uncontrollable cold sweat slid down his back.
There are people in Devil May Cry Generation who can't double jump;
there are people in Assassin's Creed who can't swim; there's
a certain mythical beast in Pokemon that can't fly.
Before he traveled through time, Ronald had a gifted 'superpower' - disaster-level marksmanship.
Affected by his profession, he naturally came into contact with and learned how to use firearms while traveling around the world.
The problem arises naturally.
He knew how to grasp the firearm by heart, and there was no problem with his eyesight. The physique of a normal adult was enough to control ordinary firearms.
I don’t know if it was the shadow left by watching a movie in his childhood. He subconsciously dislikes guns.
As long as the target of the shot is more than five meters away, Ronald's probability of hitting the target will be very low.
--unless it's a shotgun.
This matter is a fact obtained after confirmation by multiple organizations such as shooting clubs and shooting ranges.
He just can't control the shooting of the gun!
Therefore, Ronald did not deceive Alida back in the Black Mountains.
He has a natural affinity for guns.
Rather than fighting with this thing, Ronald might as well go to a farmer's house and borrow a dung fork. At least that thing is long enough. Just as
Ronald was sighing while holding the pistol, the priest's voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Ronald?"
"When do you plan to leave?"
Probably because Willard's aura was too overwhelming before, even though he had left at this moment, when the priest faced Ronald, who was also an investigator, His voice still sounded cautious.
Hearing the priest's voice, Ronald turned his head and looked in the direction of the sea.
Just slightly in the western sky, the sun is sinking toward the sea level, and the dazzling light during the day has begun to dim.
In another hour or two it will be dark.
After thinking for a moment, Ronald replied:
"I'll take care of it after the sun goes down. It's more convenient when it's dark." "
But can you tell me in detail what happened here?"
"Of course, of course it's no problem. ."
The priest immediately nodded, then pointed to the courtyard behind the church and said:
"As for what happened in Celephasis, I recorded everything in the file in accordance with the regulations, and there was no omission from beginning to end."
Then the priest stepped forward and closed the door. Church door.
After picking up the book he was reading from the chair, he took Ronald to the courtyard behind.
Passing through the corridor connected to the chapel, the two came to the room on the left side of the courtyard behind.
The door here is not locked, it is just open.
Walking into the door, you can see everything inside.
This is a library.
Although the church cannot store too many books due to its size, since it is not far from Burrenwich, with the support and influence of the headquarters, the bookshelves here are basically filled with books.
After a few casual glances, Ronald confirmed the collection of books here.
In addition to books about the church itself, as well as miscellaneous books recording geography, plants, etc., even the Burrenwich Almanac released last year can be found here.
For a small church, this is an extremely good collection of books.
Of course, there is absolutely nothing to see about the mysterious side or anything like that.
As the oldest religious institution in the world, the church not only attaches great importance to the collection and dissemination of knowledge, but also does a good job in protection.
As Ronald looked around.
The priest picked up the oil lamp on the table on the right side of the room entrance and lit it skillfully, and then walked further into the room.
After walking around two or three bookshelves, he finally stopped in front of a wall with no books on it.
Seeing this scene, Ronald carefully understood.
Sure enough, that one is coming!
The next second, the priest's actions confirmed his suspicion.
He reached out his right hand and pressed down on a spot on the wall where there was nothing special about it.
Click—
a soft sound, and a crack opened in the wall.
There is actually a trap door hidden on this wall.
The priest reached out and pulled, and the passage leading to the underground appeared in front of them.
People on the mysterious side all prefer to go underground.
While sighing in his heart, Ronald also followed the priest into the underground.
The downward steps were not too complicated. They only dropped about three meters, and the two of them arrived at the bottom of the basement.
With the flickering light from the priest's lantern illuminating the surroundings, Ronald could tell that this was a room similar to an archive room. Various files were piled up in various places in the room, and the smell of old papers almost permeated the entire basement.
Of course, in addition to the most conspicuous archival documents, there are also a small number of collections of books.
On the right side of the room after coming down, there is a bookshelf against the wall with scattered books.
"Records of the Current Mainstream Schools", "The Devotional Ceremony of Believers", "Liturgical Scriptures",
and other such books, you can understand by just looking at the names that they are real mystical books.
After ordinary people read it, they will become [seeds].
Unlike Ronald who was standing at the entrance and looking around, the priest who had lived here for many years had the same look on his face. He walked aside and put the lantern on the desk. He then picked out a relatively new document from the file in front of him.
"Mr. Ronald, this is the record about Celephais' recent problems. Is it okay for you to read it here?" "
I also want to record what happened today."
Ronald took the file and then Nodding and nodding:
"You're welcome, I'll just take a look for myself."
After saying that, the priest turned back to the table with the lantern and sat down. Then he picked up a dip pen and carefully recorded what he saw today on a new page.
This is the main job of church personnel
, or in the territory of Grid, this is the main job of church personnel.
Due to the witch-hunting movement that took place in ancient times, people in the church have a systematic ability to monitor mysterious people, and are naturally the best monitors to prevent the number of [seeds] from exceeding the threshold.
So in addition to preaching and using faith to appease the people.
It is their task to record the activities of mysterious people in a region on a daily basis and submit them to the authorities. At least in terms of guarding against alienation in the world, the people of the church are definitely the mainstay of Greed.
Watching the priest concentrate on his work, the pen tip made a pleasant rustling sound on the page.
Ronald nodded slightly, then pressed his finger on the document in his hand.
According to the investigators who have left Celephasis, the cleanup work tonight is quite simple, and any novice investigator can handle it alone.
But even so.
To be on the safe side, Ronald still wanted to take a good look at this record.
[Thanks to Jing Qing and Fengdu Youming for their rewards at the end of the year! ]
[Update tonight.]
[I have a migraine attack and I really can't write anything. . . 】
