Chapter 707: The Bloodstained Bride (1)

There are only two possibilities for finding clues and starting the plot near the stage.

The first is that they don't look for it carefully enough.

But in fact, as soon as Ann pointed at them, they almost ploughed the grass near the stage, and almost kicked the stones away to see if there was a symbol hidden underneath or a note pressed or something, so it was impossible to miss anything with such a meticulous search.

Then the answer is already obvious, the time has not yet come.

Considering the system mechanism, it is impossible to set up a useless scene that is marked on the map, and since it is useful, no clues have been found, and only the time has not yet come to an explanation.

Since the players entered this dungeon, it has only been more than three hours in total, and the sleep mode has been turned on, in other words, this dungeon is likely to be 8~16 hours long or more, so the inference that the time has not come is still very reliable.

That being said, since the quest is in its infancy, players get very few clues.

Compared to this kind of copy that runs around like a headless fly to collect clues and unearth the truth, An Yizhi still prefers straightforward homicide, or the kind that is scared when he meets, anyway, with his combat power, he can basically walk sideways in ordinary copies.

Nothing more, and a search was fruitless, so the group decided to walk towards the last location on the map, which was the church.

It's almost 1 p.m., and the town is so big and small that it takes a bit of time to walk before the wedding.

They also want to ask the guests to knock on the side, and they can't pinch the two o'clock when the wedding starts, then there is no time to ask.

So they arrived at the church at 1:20 a.m., led by Apple Tea.

The church adopts a typical Gothic building, with a towering spire and stained glass, which is easy to match the sense of space of the whole building, and the religious atmosphere is very strong.

And judging from the traces left by the rain on the decoration of the church, this church is very old, at least one or two hundred years old, maybe it was a building that existed when the town was first established.

The church was located in the middle of the town, and they had passed by the tavern once on their way from the villa in Bilbom, only to take a back seat considering that the tavern was the last place where Padrich had lost his trace.

At this time, there were tables and chairs on the grass next to the church that had not been seen before, some people were busy preparing for the wedding scene, and many guests gathered in groups to chat, waiting for the wedding to begin.

Director House stood not far from the front of the church, and every time a guest came to talk, he immediately left the others behind and greeted him warmly when he saw the four players approaching, Breeze Bazooka and Rhett to be exact.

"Welcome, young master, miss, welcome to the wedding."

He didn't know the names of Breeze Bazooka and Red, in fact, it didn't matter, for Director House, all he had to do was know that these two people were related to Bilbohm, and everything else was secondary.

As soon as Red saw the stance, he knew he was going to do it, and as expected, Director House began a long and lethargic flattery, like what I admire Mr. Bilbohm like a river......

That's pretty much what it meant, completely ignoring the breeze, Bazooka and Red's faces changed from calm to constipated.

As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, it's not good for them to just throw their sleeves and leave, so they can only try to interject and divert the topic when the other party is crazy about slapping their ass.

But with little success.

In and out of the words, Director House just wanted to convey a meaning.

- Local tyrant, let's be friends.

Fortunately, An Yizhi and Apple Tea were treated as followers, otherwise they would have to accept Director House's tricky sycophancy.

Quietly patted Apple Tea on the shoulder, the latter understood, taking advantage of his short stature, and walked towards the guests while people were not paying attention.

Ann pointed out that Appletea wanted to find out where some of Padridge's friends were, but the job was not as difficult as expected.

Although the guests were men and women, most of them were middle-aged, the youngest was over thirty years old, usually the staff of the town government and the subordinates of Director House, who came in police uniforms and were conspicuous.

And Padrick's friends are about the same age as him, so they should be easy to find in this group.

But it wasn't until it was almost ten minutes later that Appletea quietly returned, just as Director House had finished his tirade, and if it had been longer, it was estimated that Red and Breeze Bazooka would have pulled out their guns and killed people.

"How did it take so long?"

"It's hard to find."

Apple Tea Says:

"I walked around the wedding scene several times and didn't see anyone who met the criteria, until I went around to the back of the church and didn't notice them."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Red rubbed his face and said, feeling his smile freeze.

There is a small grove behind the church of Apple Tea, which is not very lush, but it is very quiet and elegant in the environment surrounded by stone buildings.

After An pointed out that they had passed, he saw three young people around 18~20 years old chatting against the big tree, and one of them was wearing a very decent suit specially made for today, and it was estimated that he might be the groom.

Next to him, there was a beautiful blonde woman, of similar age and intimate manners, who should be the bride, but she was not wearing a wedding dress yet, if not......

The bride's head is already green.

As an aside, the custom of wearing wedding dresses for marriage only began in this era, because Queen Victoria wore a white wedding dress when she got married, and the common people began to do this in order to learn from the queen, and it has been handed down, and there was no specific color and style of wedding dress before that.

The third young man was also a woman, with red hair, like the bride's best friend, but a trace of worry could be clearly seen between her eyebrows, and her two friends who were about to marry could also see that they deliberately said something funny to make her happy, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

Ann pointed out that this was what they saw.

But if it's just a question, it's a bit wasteful for the four of them to go together.

In addition to a few of Padridge's friends, the church itself is also a place that Ann Yizhi wants to explore, and if he loses too much time with a few of Padridge's friends, I'm afraid there will be no time to explore the church.

Therefore, he proposes to divide the army into two routes, with Red and Breeze Bazooka, disguised as relatives of Bilbom, going to talk to Padric's three friends, and Ann Ichiji and Appletea wandering around the church.

This division of troops is the most efficient, but Qingfeng Bazooka was a little eager to speak, An Yizhi thought that she was worried that she would not be able to handle it with herself and Apple Tea alone in case of any danger, and opened her mouth to explain:

"Don't worry, the dungeon has only started for such a short time, and the danger is not as high as in the later stages of the dungeon, and there are so many guests outside the church, I will definitely call for help if something really happens, basically only if you don't die, you won't die."

That's what he said, but Ann pointed to this person......

- I really can't rest assured.

"Well, be careful, try not to go into the depths of the church, I see from the outside that there are very few windows in the depths of the church, and there is no place to run in case of any danger."

Breeze Bazooka admonished, and then walked with Red towards the three young men who were chatting.

Seeing that they had successfully talked, An snapped his fingers:

"Hobbit Watson, let's go~"

Apple Tea: "......"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the two of their attendants, the two quietly slipped into the interior of the church from the front.

At this time, the interior of the church was darker than Ann had imagined, but the candle chandelier hanging overhead had been lit, presumably in preparation for the wedding in the near future.

Rows of wooden benches are neatly arranged on the front of the pulpit, and the whole church is visible in the ample candlelight.

Nothing seems to be worth noting?

It looks like an ordinary church, but the only thing that makes Ann point out is that there is no Christ statue in this church, and there is no meaning of the cross or anything like that. The only thing that can be considered a 'religious symbol' is the huge stained glass window with its back to the podium.

Ann Yizhi didn't know much about Puritanism in England, maybe it was the habit of Puritanism not to hang these things?

Other than that, he didn't find anything strange for the time being.

That's right, if people can see something strange at a glance, then it's called strange.

The brightly lit church and the crowd separated by only one wall gave Ann a sense of security, so he decided to explore separately from Appletea, and let Appletea go to see if there were any signs or clues carved on the nearby walls and benches, and Ann walked to the podium.

He had encountered a similar scene in the fifteenth level growth dungeon, but the church was located underground, and the background of the dungeon itself was very magical, so he died a big death.

Probably not this time...... Right?

This is really a bit uncertain, so An Yizhi approached the podium very carefully, and glanced at the space under the podium at a very fast speed.

Maybe he was too careful, and the underside of the podium was very ordinary, just varnished wood, and there was nothing worth caring about at all.

After experiencing this kind of copy many times, An Yizhi was already about to become a frightened bird, and if he was a little suspicious, he felt that the system had set up a big hole, and when he saw that there was nothing under the podium, he secretly scolded himself for being nervous.

But we all know that the big hole set by the system is usually not noticed until you fall into it......

There was nothing under the most suspicious podium, and An Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief and took a large number of glances at the surface of the podium.

There is a wooden, inclined stand on which the priest can rest when he reads the Bible for easy viewing.

Ann reached out and touched it, and found that a thin layer of dust had fallen on it, and it stands to reason that there should not be so much dust when the Bible is often placed on it.

"Huh? What is it? ”

Touching off the dust, An Yizhi saw that there seemed to be a very light color on the wooden support, so shallow that if you were not careful, you could ignore the marks of the past, like a dent formed by a heavy metal object pressing on it for a long time.

He wiped it with his hand, sweeping away all the dust, revealing the true face of the trace.

It was an asymmetrical shape, with a swirling circle in the middle, but it was rudimentary, just a few hasty strokes, and around the 'circle' were two things that looked like question marks and something that looked like a long tail, which circled the middle circle in a triangle-like way, as if revolving around him.

Staring at the symbol, An Yizhi felt as if his forehead had been stung, and his biological instinct told him.

This thing is very dangerous!
