"boom!" The next moment, several executors simultaneously heard a dull loud noise coming from the back of the apartment, like the sound of something hard and thick shattering and collapsing. "Canyang, the warrior's aura has disappeared, he was killed! The magician is moving outward at high speed... He wants to run! They... Ugh!!!" Suddenly, Richard let out a heart-wrenching scream, threw away the "True Vision" glass bead, covered his right eye with both hands, knelt on the ground, curled up, and trembled in pain. "Richard! What's wrong with you!" "What happened?!" The executors and security police officers around him were immediately shocked by what happened to him and surrounded him. "It's a divine attack..." Richard quickly suppressed his trembling body and stood up weakly, still covering his right eye with one hand, "One of the parties launched a divine attack!" As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent. Some looked at each other blankly, not understanding what the word meant; some had looks of fear on their faces, as if they were thinking of something very extraordinary at this moment.
A few minutes later, seven or eight security police officers, led by Nancy and other executors, rushed into the orphanage apartment. Those mortal robbers lost their leader and immediately became panicked. By the time Nancy and her companions broke in, the place was already in chaos. Only a few of them reacted and held the children hostage, trying to put up a last-ditch effort. But how can seven or eight mortals fight against a group of well-trained and fully-equipped official extraordinary people? No hostages were harmed and no accidents occurred. This group of vicious criminals were all controlled in a very short time, and those who attempted to resist violently were killed on the spot. In less than five minutes, the executors and police officers rescued the eleven trapped children, including a little girl who was shivering and dazed in the edge room. The mess in the room and the bearded man lying on the ground with a miserable end undoubtedly attracted most of everyone's attention. Nancy came to this room, her eyes swept across the bumpy ground, the two large holes on the walls, and the man with a hole in his body on the ground... His eyes were full of confusion and solemnity. I didn't notice at all that behind a piece of cement debris in the corner, a small lizard with a completely black body was sticking out its tongue. Chapter 205: The Cardinal's Investigation Well, actually the content in brackets is a title party, and there are only two chapters today. Wait! Don't hit me yet! Even though there are only two chapters, they have 6,000 words, so I’ll shamelessly count it as three chapters. Put your hands on your hips and feel strong even though you are right. In fact, based on this number of words, if I want to break it up, I can divide it into three chapters. But I found that if this plot is split further, it will affect the rhythm and fluency of the plot in any way. For the sake of the reading experience of all my readers, I will not break the chapters randomly, but just upload them all. This is a good reason, right? (Laughs) Okay, without further ado, let’s get to the main text. =========================
Knowing that Nancy was facing a complicated situation and would not be able to return for a while, Qi Ji did not deliberately wait for her to come home. After having lunch and playing with Daisy for a while, Qi Ji left Gary's house and returned to the street. "What should I do next?" On the busy yet extremely hot street, she was walking very relaxedly, feeling a little bored for a moment. "Although I have marked that guy named Burton, his anti-reconnaissance awareness is pretty good. He has been circling around the city and has not gone directly to find his leader. If I want to get new intelligence, I have to wait for a while... "As for Nancy, she is currently busy with the investigation and follow-up work at the orphanage. It is not convenient for me to disturb her... "Well, I hope she won't blame me for adding to her workload..." When Qi Ji thought of Nancy, he felt a little guilty. When the mini puppets and the executors' cars arrived at the Stoner Orphanage, she actually had no intention of interfering with any of their actions. I just want to observe how the Executioner Team carries out their mission as a spectator. After all, this is a very new thing for her, and she wants to keep the whole process as "authentic" as possible and try to restore the executor team's usual attendance. She let the lizard puppet sneak into the apartment just to see what was going on inside, with no intention of teleporting over to save the situation. But when she saw the bearded man carrying a little girl into the room with the intention of doing something indecent, she could no longer sit still. There has to be a limit to watching a show. If someone is about to be seriously hurt, she will not be able to remain a bystander. So he used the newly learned "body swapping" technique and flew directly to the scene to save the poor little girl. Since she was already here, she might as well do the job thoroughly, killing the bearded man and driving away and marking the suit man Burton. However, because of her action, the situation suddenly became extremely complicated for the official personnel who came to deal with it, and the amount of content that needed to be investigated, analyzed, and sorted out increased significantly. I guess Nancy will have to work overtime tonight. In addition, what made Qi Ji feel a little guilty and uneasy was that he accidentally injured the male executor named Richard. She didn't expect that her casual attack would cause substantial backlash to other ordinary extraordinary people who just watched from a distance. Although Richard's injuries were not serious and he would recover after a few days of rest, Qi Ji was still a little concerned. "Should I do something to compensate Nancy? After all, I have caused her so much trouble..." She scratched her head in slight confusion and walked slowly along the edge of the sidewalk. Suddenly, she noticed something. The eyes follow the guidance of the subconscious mind and look in a certain direction. Across the street where she is now, there is an ordinary-looking concrete building sandwiched between various grocery stores and office buildings. The building is five stories high and looks plain and inconspicuous. But in Qi Ji's perception, there were four or five spiritual fluctuations of a certain intensity gathered on the second and third floors. Roughly estimated, they were all around the second level.
What kind of building would have so many righteous warriors and righteous masters gathered in it? Qi Ji's perception spread to its underground, and he discovered that beneath this very low-key building, there was actually a very large underground space. Not only does it cover a wide and deep area, its internal structure is also extremely complex. And in this maze-like underground space, there are a lot of inactive spiritual auras. This means spiritual items, spiritual equipment. Just as Qi Ji was about to deepen his perception, he found himself met with resistance. It is some kind of invisible force field that can resist outside prying and perception. She was not unfamiliar with this situation. Similar mechanisms existed in every church, and she had analyzed many of them. But this time, she did not rush to analyze it, but silently withdrew her own perception. "This... is the headquarters of the Executioner Team?" Qi Ji stood at the edge of the sidewalk, looked up at the building opposite, and suddenly realized that he had walked to the executors' hometown without realizing it. "It turns out that the Executor's Office and the Super Management Bureau are separate, and the exterior is also disguised... If I didn't have a keen enough sense, I would probably find it difficult to detect what's special about this house." She nodded imperceptibly, then retracted her gaze and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, gradually moving away from the concrete building where a large number of extraordinary items were stored underground. It was at this time that her mini reconnaissance puppets scattered across Sunset Harbor reported a situation to her. The address of the mysterious guest White has been found. …… The Holy Temple, East Woshu Territory, Stio, the former Lion Craftsman Villa Complex. On the dilapidated and collapsed ruins, two figures appeared at the edge of the huge pit. Saint Cosman, wearing a white monk's robe with gold patterns and a five-pointed priest's hat, stood solemnly and said to a very young man beside him: "Your Excellency Cardinal, this is the core of the catastrophe." After the Holy See meeting ended, Saint Cosman received a notice that the cardinal would come to Stio in person to investigate. The next day, this great man in the Holy Church of Grace, whose status and strength were second only to His Holiness the Pope, crossed thousands of kilometers of the territory of the church and came to this small border town. As the ruler and manager of this entire area, Saint Cosman personally led the cardinal. He was shown the area on the East Suburb Plain that looked like it had been bombarded by volcanic lava, and the unusual large hole on the bell tower of the Stio Church. During this process, the young cardinal did not express a single opinion, and his expression was always a faint smile, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. Finally, Saint Cosman brought him to the most important place: the huge pit in the center of the Lionsmith ruins. "Sir, we found a strange object at the bottom of the pit," the powerful Saint Cosman reported respectfully, "I didn't let anyone try to move or touch it for fear of damaging the scene." Upon hearing this, the Cardinal nodded slightly, slowly extended his right hand and pointed to the bottom of the pit.
A black object suddenly flew out from the charred pit, surrounded by a large number of golden spots of light, and stopped in front of the cardinal. It was a regular icosahedron of unknown material, the size of a head, and black in color. Its surface is dull and covered with scratches of varying depths, making it look very old and dilapidated. The cardinal controlled the golden points of light that supported the regular icosahedron and made it float to the level of his eyes. Then, his eyes were suddenly dyed with bright and beautiful gold, and countless complex and magnificent symbols and patterns swirled and flowed in his pupils. After a few seconds, the runes went out and his eyes lost their gold color, returning to normal. "This is ordinary obsidian," the cardinal blinked and said in a young and energetic voice, "It is mixed with some special luminescent dyes. Under normal circumstances, it can emit a very beautiful luster, just like this." As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and some of the light spots supporting the regular icosahedron separated and merged into it. The originally dull and scratched icosahedron suddenly looked like a restored cultural relic. The scratches on its surface were instantly smoothed out, becoming extremely smooth. And a layer of strange, gorgeous, dark colorful light also appeared on its surface, flowing slowly. "But that's all." The cardinal looked away, and the icosahedron lost its color and returned to its old and dilapidated appearance. "Neither the obsidian nor the dye is anything special." "what do you mean?" Saint Cosman, with white hair and beard, behaved as modestly as a humble student in front of the young cardinal. "This geometric shape is just an ordinary stone sculpture," the cardinal said. "It has nothing special about it." Saint Cosman was silent. He originally thought that anything that could survive at the core of all the changes must be extraordinary. Although he himself could not detect anything special about it, it was after all a major event involving divinity and even gods. Although he is a clergyman at the "saint" level, it is difficult for him to avoid mistakes. Because once it comes to divinity, "saint" is not enough. Therefore, he did not act rashly, and ordered everyone not to touch, test or move the geometric object until the temple sent more capable people to deal with it. But now, the Goddess's angel on earth, the apostle who represents the will of grace, one of the strongest people in the human world, and the cardinal who is known as the "messenger of God" came to confirm in person, but he could not find any abnormalities. That means this piece of geometric body is really just an ordinary ornament. But why would an ordinary ornament appear at the deepest part of this pit? You know, everything in this pit has been corroded and assimilated by the "connected ash" that looks like black fog! All kinds of doubts flashed through Saint Cosman's mind, and the cardinal, who looked like a young man, stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the broken icosahedron in his hand. "Let's go take a look down there," he said calmly. After he finished speaking, he took a step forward. With just one step, his body appeared at the bottom of the pit.
Saint Cosman said nothing, but took a step across the distance of several dozen meters and stood with the cardinal. "My Lord, do you want to analyze the remnants of divinity here?" He saw the cardinal close his eyes and asked in a low voice. The cardinal nodded silently, and then a large number of golden runes suddenly appeared on his body. A force as surging as the sun and as solid as gold burst out from him, covering an area of more than ten meters around him. Some extremely tiny particles suddenly appeared on the charred ground.
