Compared to the previous floors, the seventh floor, where Calvin and Messer were, was quiet...... It's even a little too quiet.

Calvin pushed open the nearest wards, which were empty, with the traces of the bed's footsteps left over the years, but probably because they were in a semi-abandoned state, all the furniture and instruments in them had been emptied.

The dim light came in through the window, creating dappled light and shadow on the ground.

Calvin glanced into the distance, and the black smoke in the center of the city in the distance not only did not dissipate, but became more serious, which made Calvin's mood even heavier.

He could probably already guess what was happening in the center of the city: what was happening in the Santa Maria Maggiore Hospital was probably playing out in the densely populated city.

God knows how many people are dying there right now, the only thing Calvin can pray for now is that the city is populous, and Joshua's special abilities have a limit to how they don't turn the entire city into madness.

Calvin's wings flapped behind him, and a few feathers fell, and Moser tentatively reached out and grasped one of them.

"Huh?"

Moser squealed softly.

"I think it's safe here, at least for the time being. ”

Calvin came back to his senses, looked sideways at the humanoid dog beside him, and reluctantly squeezed out a soothing smile, and then he led Messer out of the empty hospital room and towards the other side of the building.

Calvin studied everything here carefully along the way, and judging from the surrounding environment, Calvin vaguely judged that this should be a centralized inpatient ward for the critically ill. With the exception of the first wards, which were vacant, the remaining wards were usually equipped with artificial life-sustaining equipment, although most of those instruments were malfunctioning and were obsolete many generations ago.

Calvin and Messer soon arrived at a T-junction, where Calvin glanced at the floor plan on the wall and set up an outdoor fire escape on the east side of the inpatient unit, and two elevators in each of the other places that led directly to the underground parking lot. Calvin hadn't thought about taking the elevator, but it was too risky to trap himself in a tiny metal box with no way out......

Calvin kept thinking about how to get out of his mind, and at this moment, Moser suddenly let out a low voice vigilantly.

"Whew......"

He tilted his head sideways, tilting his head slightly like a real police dog, sniffing at certain scents in the air that normal humans couldn't perceive.

"Moser?"

Calvin's nerves tensed.

He was pretty sure that Moser must have found something. In his spare light, he caught a glimpse of the faded, yellowed plastic sign on the wall, on which was drawn an arrow pointing to the right side of the hallway, and behind the arrow was the words "Ward 14 to Ward 24".

["Hee...... I know who you're looking for...... That old bitch's ward is in ward 22 on the 7th floor, you'll find her, and you'll find the entrance to hell—"]

The creepy feeling crept up Calvin's back again, and his instincts were telling him that something was wrong.

Until then, Calvin had tried to mistake the dean's near-death screams as Joshua's mentally tainted gibberish, but as he was concerned, it looked like something was leading him to a particular location.

Ward 22?

Old bitch?

……

Wait, Calvin's pupils constricted.

He wouldn't forget that they had come here in the first place to find the nun named Triss, the woman who knew where the Rosary was really located.

Could it be that Sister Tris, who had been declared vegetative due to a car accident, was in Ward 22?

Calvin's sanity told him that he should get out of here at once, out of the damn Ward Twenty-Two, and there was an indescribable mystery to the story in every way.

Maybe it's Joshua's trap...... But Calvin quickly denied this possibility. Joshua is wicked and insane, more of a complete lunatic than a conspirator (though this madman has shockingly terrifying powers). Calvin didn't think his cosmetic freak brother had the IQ to set a trap.

So it's someone behind the scenes.

Calvin knew he shouldn't let that "man" get his way, but a voice in his back kept muttering: he wanted to figure out what was going on, and his instincts were telling him that he probably didn't have a choice at all.

Calvin eventually walked in that direction involuntarily.

"I wish I had made the right decision. ”

Rarely, Calvin revealed a trace of his weakness in front of Mercer.

"Whew. ”

Moser leaned over and rubbed Calvin.

"Good boy. ”

Calvin couldn't help but stroke Mercer's hair - although the other party and "Red Deer" used the same male human **, Calvin always felt that Mercer's hair seemed to be softer to the touch.

In a sense, Calvin's choice may not have been wrong.

There were indeed "people" waiting for Calvin in Ward 22.

Before he could get close to the room, Calvin was aware of the movement coming from the room.

The sound was very subtle, and with the constant screams and commotion coming from the window, as well as the distant roar and explosions, it was impossible for ordinary people to notice the small movements coming from the hospital room.

But Calvin wasn't any ordinary man—neither was Moses.

The closer he got to the room, the quieter and colder Messer became, his lips grinning back uncontrollably, revealing his teeth. Faintly, Calvin seemed to be able to see the shadow of a huge black dog in the green-eyed man next to him—it would have been laughed at as a conjecture, but Calvin knew it wasn't.

He made a silencing gesture to Moser. Then Calvin hunched down and, using the methods taught to him by a master of physical arts, silently moved with Messer to the door of Ward 22 like a cheetah foraging in the jungle.

There were people in the ward, and they were normal, people who had not been controlled by Joshua.

“……… You know where the Rosary is, Mother Triss. ”

A deep man's voice came from the crack in the hidden door.

"You should know that you can't keep running away. ”

Then came another, more youthful voice, also male.

Calvin couldn't help but squint his eyes after hearing the voices of those two, things were a little unexpected for him, he was originally here because the people in the ward were here for him, but now it seems that those people are more concerned about the location of the Advent Rose Sanctuary?

After a brief moment of silence, a weak, old female voice came from within the room.

There is no doubt that the voice came from Mother Triss, the "vegetative person" who is said to have lost consciousness to a car accident.

"The Rosary changes its location every once in a while, and over the years, it's been changing. ”

Mother Triss said.

"I'm tired, let me go...... the nun continued, "I've been away from that sect for a long time, and I mean, there's no way I'm going to openly break with the Adventists, and if that's the case they'll kill me." But it's been a long time since I've been in contact with anyone within the sect, oh boys, look at me, I'm just an old and helpless old man, please, let me go. ”

Calvin slowly pressed his entire body against the door, carefully peering through the crack in the door towards the inside of the room

The layout of the room was generally the same as the one Calvin had seen before, with the old bed and the equipment that had been in use almost twenty years ago, the only difference was that a small, emaciated old man was curled up in the bed.

Three tall men surrounded her, one of them holding a gun, the muzzle of which was very coldly pointed at Sister Triss's head. Calvin could only see their backs, but for some reason, the backs of the three men felt a little familiar to him.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Rosary Chapel changes places every year, I don't think we would have bothered to let us know where it is, Sister Triss. ”

The man next to the man with the gun said, it was the younger voice.

The speaker's tone was inexplicably lazy, with a kind air, and if he hadn't seen the confrontation with guns raised inside the ward, Calvin would have thought that everything was peaceful and peaceful.

Calvin frowned, and that familiar feeling came again, as if he ...... As if I had heard this voice somewhere.

"You raised Joshua, the current Son of Adventism, as a nanny and governess more than a decade ago. Judging from the information we have obtained from our investigation, the Holy Son even regarded you as his mother for a long time, which is why he gave you such high authority, even ...... Let you bring your lover to the Rosary Chapel for a real baptism. I suppose it weren't for the trouble that your lover got into later, I'm afraid you'd still be serving that Son there?"

Immediately afterward, the tall man with the firearm also spoke.

"It's useless to lie and stall, Sister Triss, you may not know what's going on out there, but the Advent guys probably don't have the room to save you right now—"

"Of course I know what's going on out there. ”

The old woman, or rather, Mother Trissy, interrupted the young man.

Her voice trembled violently.

"That monster can do everything, and you're stupid people who don't know anything, because you've never really come into contact with that monster!" Sister Trissy's voice became bitter and hoarse with fear, "No, I won't say, you want to shoot? Come on, shoot! I'm fed up with this scared hell life! Shoot, softass! You won't find that hell place, you won't!" 166 Reading.com
