Chapter 108: Waiting for Night

Seeing the remaining two investigators leave the church with the prisoners, Ronald stood in the doorway for a long time before coming to his senses.

The first thing he did at the moment was to look at the pistol in his arms.

And then.

- A few drops of uncontrollable cold sweat slipped from behind.

There are people in the Devil May Cry generation who can't double jump;

There were people in Assassin's Creed who couldn't swim;

A mythical beast in Pokemon can't fly.

Before he Ronald crossed over, he had a gifted 'superpower' - disaster-level marksmanship.

Influenced by his profession, he naturally came into contact with and learned the use of firearms when he traveled around the world.

And so the problem arises naturally.

Keep in mind how to grip a firearm, there is no problem with the vision of both eyes, and a normal adult is physically strong enough to handle an ordinary firearm.

I don't know if it's the shadow left by which childhood movie he watched, but he subconsciously doesn't like guns very much.

As long as the target is more than five meters away, the probability of Ronald hitting the target will be low.

- unless it's a shotgun.

This incident was confirmed by various organizations such as shooting clubs and shooting ranges.

He just can't control the shooting of guns!

So when he was on Montenegro, Ronald didn't actually deceive Arida.

He was born at odds with guns.

Rather than fighting with this thing, Ronald might as well go to a farmer's house and borrow a dung fork, at least the thing is long enough......

Just as Ronald was sighing with his pistol, the priest's voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Ronald?"

"When are you going to leave?"

Probably because the momentum on Willard's body was too compelling before, even if the person had left at this moment, the priest's voice was still cautious when facing Ronald, who was also an investigator.

Hearing the priest's voice, Ronald turned his head to look in the direction of the sea.

Just a little further away in the sky due west, the sun was setting towards sea level, and the day's dazzling light had begun to fade.

In another hour or two, it will be dark.

After a moment's thought, Ronald replied:

"I'll deal with it after the sun goes down, it's more convenient when it's dark."

"But can you tell me more about what's going on here?"

"Of course, of course."

The priest nodded immediately, then pointed to the courtyard behind the church:

"I have recorded everything in the file about what happened in Celephas, according to the regulations, and there are no omissions from beginning to end."

Immediately, the priest stepped forward and closed the door of the church.

After picking up the book he had been reading from his chair, he led Ronald to the courtyard in the back.

Passing through the corridor that connected to the chapel hall, the two men came to the room on the left side of the courtyard at the back.

The door was unlocked, and it was left wide open.

Walk in the door and you'll have an unobstructed view of what's going on inside.

This is a library.

Although the size of the church does not allow for too many books, due to the small distance from Brunwich, with the support and influence of the headquarters, the shelves here are basically filled with books.

After a few casual glances, Ronald confirmed the collection of books here.

In addition to books on the church itself, as well as miscellaneous books on geography and plants, even the Brunwich Almanac, which was released last year, can be found here.

For a church in a small place, this is already an excellent book collection.

Of course, there is nothing to be seen about the mystery side or anything like that.

As the oldest religious institution in the world, the Church not only attaches importance to the collection and dissemination of knowledge, but also does a good job in protecting it.

Just as Ronald looked around.

The priest picked up the oil lamp on the table to the right of the entrance to the room and lit it expertly, then walked further into the room.

Rounding two or three bookshelves, he finally stopped in front of a wall where there were no books.

Seeing this scene, Ronald carefully understood.

Sure enough, it's the one that's coming!

In the next second, the priest's movements confirmed his conjecture.

In a spot on the wall that didn't show anything special, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it down.

Click-

There was a soft thud, and a crack popped open in the wall.

On top of this wall, there is actually a movable door hidden.

The priest stretched out his hand, and the passage to the underground appeared in front of the two of them.

The people on the mysterious side prefer to drill underground......

While sighing in his heart, Ronald also followed the priest into the underground.

The downward staircase was not complicated, and after descending about three meters, the two of them reached the bottom of the basement.

With the flickering lights of the priest's lantern illuminating the surroundings, Ronald could see that it was a room that resembled an archive room. Various dossiers were piled up in various parts of the room, and the smell of old paper filled almost the entire basement.

Of course, in addition to the most conspicuous dossier, there are also a small number of books.

On the right side of the room, a bookshelf against the wall was filled with scattered books.

"Records of the Current Mainstream School", "The Rite of Devotion of the Believers", "Code of Worship", ......

Books like this, just by looking at the name, you can see that this is a real mystery side book.

After ordinary people read it, they will become the kind of [seed].

Unlike Ronald, who stood at the entrance and looked around, the priest, who had lived here for many years, looked the same, walked aside as usual, put the lamp on the desk, and then picked out a relatively new document from the file in front of him.

"Mr. Ronald, this is the record of Selephas's recent problems, you can see it right here, right?"

"I'm going to make a note of what happened today."

Ronald took the file, then nodded his head:

"Please, I'll see for myself."

As he spoke, the priest turned his head and sat down at the table with the lantern, then took a dipping pen and wrote down the day's experience on the new page.

This is the church personnel......

Or rather, in the territory of Grad, this is the main job of the church personnel.

Due to the witch hunt that took place in ancient times, the people of the Church have a systematic ability to monitor the occult side, and are naturally the best monitors to prevent the number of [seeds] from exceeding the threshold.

So in addition to proselytizing and using faith to appease the people.

It is also their task to record the activities of mysterious people in a region on a daily basis, and at the same time hand them over to the authorities, at least in terms of guarding against the alienation of the world, the people of the church are definitely the mainstay of Grad.

Watch as the priest concentrates on his work, the tip of the pen making a nice rustling sound on the page.

Ronald nodded slightly, then pressed his finger to the document in his hand.

According to the investigators who have left Selephas, tonight's finishing work is quite simple, and any novice investigator can handle it alone.

But even so.

Just to be on the safe side, Ronald still wanted to take a good look at the record.
