Chapter 3237 The Shadow of Faraines (34)

Chapter 3237 The Shadow of Faraines (Thirty-four)

Bruce and the Pale Knight were driving fast on the road, rushing back to Faraines as fast as they could.

This time it was the Pale Knight who was driving. Bruce was checking something on a newly bought cell phone. The Pale Knight glanced at him and saw that he seemed to be chatting with someone.

"What are you doing?" asked the Pale Knight.

"Ask someone for clues." Bruce said, "I just got in touch with a guy and asked him about the situation of Siltec."

The Pale Knight became more and more curious about him, but he did not ask directly about things outside of the game. Instead, he said, "You said before that you are an agent, so the identity of a psychiatrist is your disguise?"

"I guess so," Bruce said.

"Who do you work for?"

"Is it important?" Bruce said without looking up. "You're a lawyer, and I didn't ask who you work for."

"I don't have a very clear employer. In my own setting, I just need to investigate strange events and collect more favorable evidence. Of course, according to previous inferences, I may also be involved in an insurance compensation case."

"Me too," Bruce said.

Since he was unwilling to say, the Pale Knight did not ask any more questions. At this moment, the Pale Knight slammed on the brakes, and Bruce was shaken and hit his forehead, but the Pale Knight stared straight ahead.

Two black cars were coming from the opposite direction, and when they approached their car, they turned sideways and blocked the intersection.

The Pale Knight saw the road sign of Faraines. They were almost approaching the village entrance, but they were blocked by someone. The other party must have bad intentions.

Sure enough, before the Pale Knight could react, several people rushed out of the black vehicle in front. They were all fully armed, not only holding guns, but also wearing bulletproof vests and explosion-proof shields. They immediately surrounded their car.

The Pale Knight instinctively picked up his gun, but the enemy was so aggressive, had so many people and was well-equipped that a head-on confrontation was not a good idea.

Bruce gave the Pale Knight a look, and the two had no choice but to get out of the car. The group of people surrounding the car was led by a woman. She shook the gun in her hand, signaling the Pale Knight to drop the gun.

The Pale Knight hesitated for a moment, but finally threw the gun to the ground. Someone came over immediately, handcuffed their hands behind their backs, put hoods on their heads, and stuffed them into the car.

The Pale Knight used his sense of direction to determine that the car was heading towards the village, which meant that this group of people were most likely from the church, and the church was more heavily guarded than they thought.

The car drove for more than ten minutes, starting and stopping from time to time. The Pale Knight had no way of fully sensing the route they were taking, but he only knew that they should not have left the village yet.

Soon the car stopped completely and the Pale Knight was taken down. He felt himself being pushed into a room. His handcuffs were probably handcuffed to the railing of the extinguished fireplace, so he could only sit on the ground.

He didn't hear any movement from Bruce, and he suspected that the two of them were imprisoned separately and someone was trying to extract information from them.

Sure enough, after a while, footsteps were heard at the door, and the Pale Knight's hood was taken off. He saw the woman who had surrounded them before sitting opposite him.

There was also movement coming from next door, and the Pale Knight thought it might be Bruce, and someone else went over there.

The woman took off her bulletproof vest and coat, revealing the robe underneath. It looked a bit like a nun's uniform, but it was obviously a simplified version. It was just longer than a priest's robe and did not have as many patterns.

The woman wore a cross necklace around her neck. After she sat down, she held the cross and muttered a few words, then looked at the Pale Knight and asked, "What did you do in Xigeltek?"

It was getting dark, and Schiller and Batman had successfully sneaked to the vicinity of the lighthouse. The two of them went around the woods, and Batman found the door of the distribution room not far from the lighthouse.

The lighthouse's distribution room is not inside the lighthouse, but underground on the east side of the lighthouse. The Joker and Batman both improved the electric shock facilities here, and the people of the church did not seem to know about this place and did not send anyone to guard it, so the two of them went in easily.

Batman waited here until it was completely dark, then cut off the power in the lighthouse, and it became pitch black in an instant.

Schiller heard the noise of the commotion. Apparently, the people from the church stationed here did not expect the sudden power outage, so they took this opportunity to get to the side of the lighthouse.

The agent left a rope when he came down from the lighthouse. As mentioned before, the lighthouse is very large and it takes a long time to go around it. A thin rope is not conspicuous and the people in the church did not notice it.

With the help of the rope, the two of them successfully reached the window on the second floor and jumped in through the window without alarming anyone.

Schiller observed the situation in the lighthouse. Just as he expected, the lighthouse was shrouded in thick fog and there was almost no light. There was a little light within a range of about one meter near the window, and everywhere else was pitch black.

It is simply the natural hunting ground of the Night Demon.

But Schiller did not rush to take out the trapezoid. Instead, he and Batman went up two floors and came to the middle of the lighthouse, which was the fourth floor next to the patio, and placed the trapezoid under the patio railing.

During this time, Schiller kept shining the flashlight on the box to prevent the night demon from appearing. After putting the box down, he continued to shine the flashlight in that direction until the two of them retreated to the window together, and footsteps were heard on the stairs next to them.

"…Why did the power go out suddenly? Didn't the guys check the switch? I didn't bring a flashlight."

"Just hold onto the wall first, be careful not to trip..."

As the voices became clearer, Schiller and Batman had already climbed out of the window and were both hung on the rope again. The moment Schiller turned off the flashlight, a dark shadow flashed across the patio.

Then a shrill scream was heard from the lighthouse.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

The two people hanging outside the lighthouse did not go down, but went up instead, because from their previous observations, the people of the church seemed to use the lighthouse as their base. Now this is their command center, and many people come and go to report. The person who commands them should be at the top of the lighthouse. Even if he is not a great prophet, he should be an important figure in the church.

Schiller and Batman did not enter the top floor immediately, because if the Great Prophet was really a pretender as he speculated, then he would most likely stay on the top floor, where the security must be the tightest, and rushing in directly would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

So they went to the eighth floor. As long as they moved quickly, they should be able to break in faster while the other party was still trapped in the chaos of the sudden loss of light and hadn't reacted.

Sure enough, when the two men climbed in through the window, the church garrison personnel had not yet adapted to the sudden darkness and were frightened by the screams downstairs. Their defensive formation was completely messed up. Schiller and Batman seized the opportunity and knocked down two or three people in an instant.

He went around the huge patio to the other side and originally wanted to rush up the stairs, but Schiller, who was wearing night vision goggles, found that there were many people gathered in front of another intersection. He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

So he immediately grabbed Batman, and the two of them quietly walked over along the passage on the other side.

The group of people gathered at the intersection seemed very confused. The sudden power outage caused the area around the patio to be pitch black without a trace of light. Human vision was completely useless in such an environment, and everyone was walking by feeling the wall.

As soon as Schiller walked over, he saw someone holding an explosion-proof shield. The weapons in their hands were better than those of the people downstairs, and the personnel configuration was also more reasonable. This was obviously a well-trained defense team.

But why are they guarding this intersection?

Schiller was a little curious. He glanced at the stairs. Batman understood his concern and said, "The lighthouse's power system has been completely destroyed. No matter how many people they send to repair it, it will be useless."

Schiller couldn't help but give Batman a thumbs up. It was really worry-free to have Batman as a teammate. Since the power system could not be restored, they would have plenty of time.

So Schiller took advantage of the chaos in the defense team and sneaked through the gap in the wall, with Batman following behind him.

Schiller had night vision goggles and Batman even had his X-ray vision turned on. When the two of them slipped past, the group of people whose vision was completely dark didn't notice them at all and thought the noise around them was made by their companions.

The two walked along the corridor and saw a door at the back that was slightly open. As soon as Schiller opened the door, he saw a man's terrified face.

The other party didn't seem to expect someone to come. Just as he was about to scream, Schiller rushed over quickly, covered his mouth, and pulled him into the room.

After a brief encounter, he recognized who the other person was - the great prophet Gad, one of the three wise men.

Schiller covered his mouth, dragged him all the way to the farthest part of the room, and whispered in his ear: "Shut up, or you're done."

This brief threat was obviously the most effective. When the other party recovered from his initial surprise, he nodded slowly.

When Schiller retreated into the room, he discovered that the chairs in the living room were overturned and ropes were scattered around. It seemed that someone was tied up here.

Batman locked the door, and Schiller released his hand and turned on the flashlight.

The great prophet Gad's expression, which had just improved a little, tore again when he saw the pattern on Father Schiller's robe.

"It doesn't matter," Schiller said. "I guarantee you haven't seen me in the Pope's guard."

Gad was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at Schiller's face. After studying it for a long time, he found that what he said was actually true. He lowered his voice and said, "So you are pretending? You are not the Pope's man?"

"Should I be?"

"You do look different from the guards." Gad took a deep breath and said, "Are you here to save me?"

"First, tell me why you are here." Schiller looked at him and said, "I hope you can tell the truth. I think you can also see that we are probably the only ones who can solve your problem here."

Gad looked at him for a while and said, "I don't know where your confidence comes from. Everyone here is the Pope's people..."

"So you didn't come here voluntarily?"

"Of course not." Gad gritted his teeth and said, "Why would I volunteer to be sacrificed? I'm not crazy!"

Schiller frowned deeply and said, "The Pope wants to sacrifice you? But I met a man who claimed to be your subordinate on the ghost ship, and he wanted to go to the captain's room..."

“Whoever claims to be my man is lying to you. The great prophet Gad who appears in public is just a puppet. They are all the Pope’s men.”

"But I heard that the Pope is dying."

"That's true. If the old guy wasn't dying, he wouldn't be so crazy." Gad sighed and said, "He has been planning this for many years. If his life span hadn't really come to an end, he wouldn't choose to do it now."

"So what's going on?"
