"Just now he was waiting for you to come out under the stairs over there, why didn't it disappear?" While Leo constructed the topographic map with a spiritual net, Jason also paid attention to Nelson's situation from time to time, because Leo mentioned Passing Nelson is Martin's goal, so he will pay special attention to him.
"It should have been the commotion that just drew the attention of the two of us. Someone took the opportunity to take the doctor away." It was found that Nielsen was gone, Leo's spiritual network immediately opened, and under his spiritual network search, he could not find it. Nelson's traces, it is clear that Nelson has something wrong.
felt that he should have some responsibility, Jason felt guilty, and said: "Damn! If I didn't go there..."
Leo Shen said: "It's useless, no matter how you guard against them, they can find opportunities."
Catherine was also very anxious about Nielsen's situation, but still calmly judged the situation, did not panic, and made the most appropriate decision, saying: "I first go to Major, let the church send someone to find, then Martin , Since it was his ghost, he must know Nelson’s whereabouts."
"No! If you go to that Major Priest now, I’m afraid it will take a while for the church’s talents to send someone to find someone, and because of their ability, they may not be able to find it. If the time is too long, there will be Question." Leo stopped Catherine's approach and asked Jason: "Where was the last place you saw the doctor?"
"There." Jason quickly pointed to the steps not far away, followed by placing his hand on the crossbow in his waist, and said fiercely: "If I know who tied the doctor, I must ..."
"You're crazy! Now that you're doing this kind of action, aren't you afraid of their misunderstanding?" Leo quickly reached out and pressed Jason's hand to pick up the crossbow, and then saw the robes on Jason's body. The weapon was covered and pointed at several priests who were staring around.
Although there is Catherine around, according to Catherine's reputation in Cage City, there should be no misunderstandings or the like, but after seeing the crazy side of the church members just now, Leo is also not sure whether Catherine's reputation can suppress those church members. Is crazy, so try not to do some actions that cause misunderstandings to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Indicated that the two were following, Leo walked to the place where Jason finally saw Nelson.
After arriving at the place, Leo first started the perfect control skills to control the nose to enhance the sense of smell. Soon he found the odor of Nielsen from a large number of mixed odors, and through data compilation, it was restored on his retina, forming a odor particle. Composed of humanoid illusions.
Then he released the perfect control skills, and opened the spirit network skills, and began to use the odor particle analysis data as the basis. Through the detection ability of the spirit network, it was easy to find the odor particles matching the data, and also analyze and organize, Projected on the retina.
Next, his eyes looked at what Nielsen's phantom composed of odor particles did just like what he saw in the past.
I saw that Nielsen was also attracted by the movement there, but he couldn't see the situation there, so he went up the stairs, walked to a relatively high position, and looked over there.
However, after less than five seconds, Nielsen seemed to find something. His eyes seemed to follow an object from the front and behind him, and then he walked down the stairs and walked in the opposite direction of the turbulent building. Go.
"Come with me." Leo saw here and followed the illusion to the other side, and said to Jason and Catherine who were puzzled.
Jason is nothing. There is a rib in his head. Leo does whatever he says, without asking the right or wrong reasons, and he doesn’t want anything else.
But Catherine hesitated for a moment and didn’t understand what Leo was doing. She just saw Leo standing at this place, and then her eyes moved to the steps as if she saw something, and then turned to the other side and said There was no explanation for following him, which made her really difficult to explain.
In Catherine's view, the church is now the most correct choice. Even if the church is suspected of Nelson's disappearance, she can rely on her reputation in the church to organize a group of search and rescue personnel who are not affected by the church. It's better than wandering aimlessly here.
"Can you explain what you are doing?" Catherine hurried up and walked to a position almost parallel to Leo, Shen Sheng asked.
"Everyone has a unique smell, this smell is like this person's unique logo." Leo already has a certain understanding of Catherine's character, knowing if the other party does not understand what is going on is Will not be honest with him. So he looked at the humanoid phantom made up of odor particles and followed, explaining to Catherine without looking back: "The smell on the person will not disappear immediately because the person leaves, but will stay in the air for a while. Time, as long as these odors are captured, you can capture what the person has done before and find the whereabouts of that person. Huh? How could this be?"
Leo suddenly stopped, looking at a building that looked like a prayer room in the grove in the garden not far ahead, and Catherine was still immersed in Leo's knowledge, completely unaware of what happened. .
Just before speaking, Leo had led the two out of a garden on the right side of the hall.
What is different from the gardens in other places here is that there are no sick black robe people sitting on the ground to pray, but no one is empty, even the black robe people are just sitting on the low wall outside the garden Side, no matter how crowded, there is no step into the garden.
The reason why Leo would stop and show surprise was not because of the black robe sitting here densely and groaning painfully from time to time, but because he discovered through the illusion of odor particles that Nelson’s disappearance was not He was kidnapped as he had guessed before, but it was more like voluntarily leaving with some people.
From the small amount of action that the odor particles can show, Leo can see that Nelson is obviously knowing one of those people. Before Nelson would suddenly leave from the steps, it was also because he saw that person.
Later, judging from the movement of Nielsen's scent illusion, he showed some excitement, like persuading or blaming someone, but in the end he chose not to tell Leo and they left directly with a mysterious person. Personality does not match.
Not to mention whether the relationship between Nelson and Leo has reached such a level that they need to inform each other without permission. If his relationship with Catherine is not really an urgent and important thing, it is absolutely impossible to avoid Catherine. Say hello.
"What's the matter? Did you lose it?" Catherine, who had recovered from the smell particle theory, saw Leo suddenly stopped and immediately thought of Nielsen, asking anxiously.
"No follow up." Leo said quietly, then pointed to the garden in front and the buildings in the garden and asked, "Where is there?"
"That's the small garden and the Hall of Eternal Sleep." Although Catherine was very anxious, she was able to see unusual places in Leo, so she still tolerated her impatience and calmly responded: "The small garden was built by the shelter The first garden, also the first in the cage city, has a special meaning. The Yongmian Hall is mainly buried with all the ancestors who have contributed to the church."
Leo asked again: "Why is there no one here?"
"Because of its special meaning, the canon restricts the use of this place. No one is allowed to disturb the Schering unless it is the day of sacrifice." Catherine seemed to feel something from Leo's inquiry, asking: "Will Nelson go in?" Inside? If so, it is likely that he was caught and sent to the correctional center..."
"Caught? You mean there should have been a guard here?" Leo captured a small detail.
"Of course there are guards, but now..." Catherine looked around, as if looking for a guard.
"Don't look for it, they should have been attracted by the movement there." Leo pointed to the place where the turmoil occurred before, and then did not continue to ask, directly stepping into the small garden under Catherine's surprised eyes. Inside, walk towards Yongmian Hall.
Jason didn’t even think about the others, but Catherine hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be scrupulous. Eventually, her concern for Nielsen prevailed, driving her to run into the danger of breaking the canon of the Aknaya Church. In the small garden.
The three quickly came to the Yongmian Hall. At this moment, the Yongmian Hall was tightly closed. A lock was hung on the door, unlike someone who had opened the door and entered.
"There is a lock on the door, and no one should have been in." Catherine, who followed her, saw the situation of the gate of Yongmian Hall and said casually.
Hearing Catherine's words, Leo smiled and retorted: "Can't you go in and send someone to stay at the door and lock the door to create the illusion that the door is not open?"
"Uh!" Catherine couldn't answer for a moment, she just opened her mouth.
"But you're right! The door hasn't been opened, and the lock hasn't been opened." Lei Ou then turned around and said, "But they did go into the Hall of Eternal Sleep, and they walked through the secret door."
"The secret door?" Catherine was completely stunned. Although her relationship with the church was very delicate, she had no real power within the church, and she had never managed the affairs of the church, but her understanding of the church still exceeded most people. But even so, she had never heard of any secret door to Yongmian Hall.
Seeing Catherine's unbelievable look, Leo didn't explain, but walked around the edge of the building to the wall covered by the dense forest, then fumbled under the corner for a few times, and then saw his hand like It was as if it was inside something, and a slight click was heard, and then the wall in front of them cracked silently to both sides, revealing an entrance.
"This?" Catherine was speechless for a long time when she saw this scene, and finally looked at Leo with a deep meaning, and said, "Who the are you? Why do you know there is a secret door that I don't know about?" ?"
"Please! Miss Catherine." Leo made a lady-first gesture, but it was a little nonsensical for him to be such a gentleman-like gesture, and it made people want to laugh.
Catherine only hesitated a little, and then stepped into the Hall of Eternal Sleep. Although she suspected that Leo was intentional in her heart, and even that Leo was purposeful to come here with Nelson, her trust in Nelson made her temporarily suppress the suspicion. At the bottom of my heart.
After all three entered the Hall of Eternal Sleep, Leo twisted a little on a hanging lamp next to the secret door, and the secret door closed again silently.
The Yongmian Hall is not very big from the outside, but inside, because of the architect's clever technique, it gives people an illusion that the space is instantly magnified two or three times.
Now they should be in a personal prayer room. Catherine, who is very familiar with it, just looked at the decoration in the room and knew that it was there. She pushed the door and went out, passing a one-way corridor. Came to a chapel.
Although it is a closed indoor space, the interior of the chapel is very bright because of the clever use of the light refraction of the glass.
On the front of the chapel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is the statue of Aknaya, but this statue is different from the statue on the outside square.
This idol is an irregular obsidian, symbolizing the uncertainty of the gods. Eyes are carved on the obsidian front, then inlaid with gold, and the heart is carved against the back of the wall, all coated with ruby crushed gem powder Full layer.
Seeing this peculiar idol, Leo’s first thought was to think that the church built in this near slum was rich, from free food, from the expensive buildings and gardens outside, and then from the eyes. This is a luxurious statue, and all the details reveal that this new church built in Cage is not used for financial worries.
However, Leo found from the information about the church provided by Martin that the church did not collect religious taxes from the believers like other churches in order to promote it in cage cities. Even if some devout believers are willing to donate all their property to the church, how much money can people who live in a harsh environment like Cage City have? Comparing the expenditure of the church, it is simply a salary.
"It seems that this church has other sources of funding." Leo thought of this, and he had an answer in his heart.
At this time, Catherine suddenly lowered her voice deliberately, as if she was afraid that someone would hear half of it, and whispered, "Someone has entered the tomb of the Xianling."
I saw that Catherine was standing in front of a huge wooden door at the moment, waving to Leo and Jason, the position of this wooden door was just behind the altar where the idol was.
Leo, who turned to this side, hardly needs to look at it carefully, and already knows why Catherine would say so, because this wooden door is false, and at the bottom of the door, some people are stuck in the gap with wooden wedges, let the door Don't shut down because of other accidents.
