I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 298 The Grand Inquisitor (4.1k)

In view of not knowing much about the situation, Wu Shuang chose to consult the almighty Shikodi.

"Is there anything unusual in the Papal City?"

"Uh? Why do you think I can know?"

Shikodi's voice sounded in the earphones, filled with confusion and astonishment.

Apparently feeling at a loss for such unquestioning trust in him.

Wu Shuang also gave his reasons.

"Do you need to talk about it? What place can't you enter? What does the Holy See mean? Can't you just hack in? If that doesn't work, you can get a satellite to take a look."

Facing this innocent misunderstanding caused by not knowing much about transcendence, Shikodi only felt that this guy who made her feel scheming was another seemingly unintentional temptation.

It's already this time, I've been busy for so long, and you're still trying to plot against me, right? !

Just thinking about it made her feel annoyed.

But due to the current cooperative relationship between the two, and Wu Shuang's tone of voice that was so naive that she couldn't analyze the malice, she could only hold back the breath and explained gloomily:

"As an organization that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Holy See has its own unique system and tradition. Their own extraordinary beings are also completely different from other organizations. The various rituals and alchemy derived from them are also very different from the common ones. , and because they rarely communicate with outsiders, other people don’t have much information about them, and I can’t find much here.

In addition, as the core area of ​​the Holy See, the Papal City naturally has various methods to protect its secrets. Many of them are rules and even conceptual protections. Even if you look at it with a satellite, it is a blur. "

"So outrageous? More powerful than the academy?" Wu Shuang was secretly stunned. It seemed that he had sneaked into an incredible place this time.

"When was the college built? How long ago was this Papal City built? There are several rounds of city walls alone. Besides, the college is a place for teaching, and there is only a small area in the back hill that is strictly controlled. Where? What's the comparison?" Shikodi complained.

"Not even able to monitor communications?" Wu Shuang tried to make one last attempt.

Even if we can't provide the service of opening the whole picture, it's better to monitor the communication. It's much better than him being blind and not even knowing what's going on in the Papal City.

But Shikodi's angry voice made him give up this idea.

"Communications? How do you let me access the internal circuit? There must be a port, right?"

Although she was complaining like this, Shikodi changed the topic again and her tone began to become a little weird.

"It is indeed difficult to check the Papal City. However, through the camera on the road outside the city, I found a plume of black smoke rising from the Papal City."

"Um? Why didn't you tell me earlier when you discovered this?"

"Didn't you tell me earlier that you wouldn't ask me if I could monitor the Papal City? Besides, if I didn't explain so much to you, how could you know how hard it was for me?"

"."

Hearing this very reasonable rhetorical question, Wu Shuang was speechless and could only think about the nonsensical information given by Shikoti.

"Smoke? Are they having a bonfire party?"

"In the papal city? Are you kidding? That's a bunch of monks."

After the two complained, they suddenly realized a terrible possibility.

"Damn it, something happened, right?"

Smoke means flame, flame means ashes, ashes. Could it be that the cultists have already begun to act?

This is not impossible. When it is discovered that external forces have intervened, and a traitor has been found within the Holy See, the cultists are likely to come to a death trap, not to mention that at this moment, some of the Holy See The attention has been diverted by him, which can be said to be a rare opportunity.

"Oops." Wu Shuang's face couldn't help but look ugly.

If things were really what he suspected, then among the factors that led to this happening, he would have to bear the blame.

Even if this pot was just caused by him accidentally knocking it down.

"Can you contact Edmund?" he tried to ask.

Although it was best to minimize contact between him and Edmund at any time, in this situation, he still had to take risks to make sure.

Shikoti gave him a quick reply.

"No, I can't get through."

"hiss"

Wu Shuang twitched the corner of his mouth because this sentence didn't make sense. It seemed to be enough to explain the current situation.

But now, he couldn't just turn around and leave. He had already come in, so he had to confirm the situation. Furthermore, he also had to complete the hotel deal, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live up to his reputation, which wouldn't be good.

In this city, he had already offended the Holy See and did not want to embarrass another force that could compete with the Holy See.

Otherwise, if the situation becomes a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back, then he will have to flee.

"Let's go up." Shikodi urged in a low voice, "I've seen the map. Your location is probably underground in the southeast corner of the trial. It's not far from the archives of the trial. You only need to cross the two dungeon areas. , a weapons depot, as well as an interrogation area and three office areas will be enough, oh, there is also a training ground between the weapons depot and the interrogation area, and there may be many new members of the trial office training."

"Is this okay? You say it so lightly."

Every time Wu Shuang heard about an area, his expression couldn't help but feel a little painful. After listening to it, his whole face became twisted.

He could already imagine the scene where he was being chased by a group of people from the trial court.

But you still have to go.

I saw that his body slowly turned into a light mist, floating upwards along the stairs.

Along the dark and damp corridors of the dungeon, passing by cells that exuded rancid smell and blood, and occasionally saw a few dying people, Wu Shuang finally saw a ray of sunshine at the end of the upward stairs. .

Following this light, he floated out of the dungeon.

This is an inconspicuous small building located under a three or four-meter-high city wall. From the outside, it looks like a warehouse. There is a guard room at the door, but the guard inside is also missing.

Wu Shuang floated out from the dungeon disguised as a warehouse and came to the guard room. After looking around, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, this is really retro."

With his investigative ability of more than 90 years, he was surprised not to find a single modern electronic device in this four-seater guard room. The only one that looked a bit technological was a rather retro hand-cranked telephone.

Since he was wearing gloves, he didn't care whether he would leave fingerprints at all. He just picked up the phone and listened, but unfortunately there was only a beeping sound.

After putting the microphone back, Wu Shuang looked at other places in the guard room.

It was outrageous that there were no guards or patrols in the dungeon. As a result, no one was seen outside the dungeon. There was no one in the guard room. Outside the guard room, there was a large open space between the main buildings in the distance. There was not a single person in sight, which was really outrageous.     “Looks like they were nervous to leave.”

Wu Shuang raised his eyebrows when he saw the spilled coffee on the table and the water stains left behind.

The wet newspaper on the table has vividly told a meaningful story.

A guard who was passing the boring time was drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. This was probably one of the few ways in the Holy See to know information about the outside world. Suddenly, a phone call came in. The shocking news inside shocked the guard. The guard who left in a hurry accidentally spilled the coffee, but didn't even think about cleaning it up, so he rushed out in a panic.

"Look at the wall."

"Yes, I see you."

In fact, without Shikodi's reminder, he had already noticed that most of the bunch of keys hanging on the wall were cell keys in the dungeon, but some were keys from other places.

There are so many keys in this guard room, obviously for emergencies.

But among so many keys, only one is missing.

"Armory?"

Wu Shuang read out the only missing key in surprise: "Who are they trying to deal with?"

The keys to the weapons depot must be carried by a dedicated person on weekdays, and the weapons depot itself should even be guarded. If the guards here need to rush there with spare keys, it can only be said that something happened to the weapons depot.

Could it be the previous explosion?

That's not right. He hesitantly looked at the main building not far away. As the base of the trial, this Gothic-style building was quite gloomy, but it could also be called magnificent, and it didn't appear to be damaged at all. The thick smoke does not rise from here, but from far away.

Wu Shuang scratched his head. Unable to figure out the situation, he could only choose to remove all the keys in the guard room in case of emergency.

Then he turned around and continued moving towards the distance.

After confirming that there was really no one, he walked into the trial court with doubts.

"Isn't that right? That simple?"

He even began to wonder if this might be some kind of trap. For example, Edmond was caught and tortured to find out that he was cooperating with him, and he was planning to sneak into the trial court, so the trial court set up an ambush or something like that. matter.

Just as he was wondering, Wu Shuang, who was walking in the trial court, turned around and saw several corpses.

"I go."

While he was stunned, he noticed that the corpses were all wearing the clothes of the trial court. They all seemed to have been killed from behind. The corpses were dragged back from outside and deliberately placed. They were probably from other trial courts. made by members.

"Is this situation a civil unrest?"

Wu Shuang's eyes moved from the corpses placed in the corridor to the room nearby. Judging from the rows of shelves in the room, as well as the heavy iron doors and iron-barred windows, it should be a weapons warehouse. That's right, the members of the trial who were sitting behind the bars were leaning back on their chairs, with blood trailing down their foreheads. There was only a blood hole on them, and they didn't even resist.

This is something that can only happen if you are under control or are unprepared.

OK? Um?

He felt that he might have thought wrong before. Could it be that the Grand Inquisitor was a traitor and led some members to rebel, only to have a conflict break out with another group of members who had no intention of rebelling?

Looking at the messy weapons arsenal, he doubted his own speculation.

If that's the case, then the main battlefield should be here. Why didn't he even see a few people?

"Don't worry about so much. Go to the archives quickly and get enough information before you can analyze it." Shikoti urged.

"I think we might go to the Grand Inquisitor's office to take a look. Although we don't know what happened, but there is such a big movement, the Grand Inquisitor, as the leader, should come out and take charge of the overall situation, right? In this way , then wouldn’t his office be empty? With such a good opportunity, why not go in and take a look? "

Wu Shuang expressed his different opinions.

Compared with the archives, the Grand Inquisitor who controls the entire trial may have more critical information.

"What if he's here?"

".Then just run."

There was nothing more to say. If he bumped into the Grand Inquisitor, he thought it would be better to run faster. Even if he didn't know his strength, the Grand Inquisitor was not something he could touch.

It's okay to tease the soldiers, but the Grand Inquisitor is old, and if something goes wrong, he will fight to the death.

Just as he was thinking about it, a lot of people suddenly ran in from outside the corridor ahead, accompanied by chaotic footsteps and nervous shouts.

"Quick, quick, quick!!! Bring the wounded in! Leave a few people to take care of them, and the rest will follow me and charge again!"

Several members of the Tribunal, armed with assault rifles, wands, daggers and other extraordinary items, rushed into the corridor, quickly guarded various positions in the corridor, and then called for people outside to enter.

Looking at the pile of wounded people being carried in on stretchers in the distance, Wu Shuang was secretly surprised and quietly hid in a nearby room to prevent these people from discovering him. At the same time, he whispered to Shi Coty ordered: "Contact Edmund again, this situation is too complicated."

Shikodi, who originally urged him to go to the archives quickly, quickly started dialing the number after seeing this situation.

Finally, when the members of the trial center in front of them put away the wounded and prepared to rush out again, Edmund's communication was dialed.

From the other end of the earphone, what came was Edmund's heavy breathing and the sound of gasping for air due to pain. When he picked up the phone, he didn't even have time to pay attention to the number and asked loudly:

"Who?!"

"What happened to me?"

Wu Shuang briefly asked about the current situation, and received a very depressed reply from Edmund.

"He made a coup! Damn it!"

"Who?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's that guy Alessandro. I just managed to escape from him. Damn it, that damn old guy almost killed me!" Edmund scolded there. As he spoke, he still did not forget to continue to explain the situation: "They obviously couldn't hold it any longer. Just when I came over with the investigation order, there was a conflict with the Knights. The news couldn't have spread so fast. It was obviously It was planned long ago, where are you now?"

"On the trial side, I'm determining the situation on the Grand Inquisitor's side."

As Wu Shuang spoke, he turned into mist again and floated upstairs. Following Shikudi's guidance, he quickly approached the office of the great inquisitor.

After hearing his words, Edmund said angrily: "The Grand Inquisitor? The news I got here is that he is besieging the Pope!"

"Really? But why do I feel that it shouldn't be him."

"why?"

"Because he's dead and I'm looking at his body right now."

"what???"
