Chapter 350: The Outer Church
"Who does that church belong to?" Evenson asked. Don't look at Claire's usual cuteness, but she is a senior deacon of the New York Temple, and among the entire Kama Taj, she is also a middle-level cadre, and it is definitely not easy for her to memorize the place. Of course, if there is an anime or game based on that place, it is a different matter.
"A rather secretive military church, belonging to the category of Christianity, but not very large. Claire stared at the location of the church on the virtual interface and said, "Let's call him the periphery." ”
"What?" Evenson was stunned, and the church was also a periphery?
Fortunately, Claire didn't know what was going on in Evenson's head, and she went on to explain, "We call him that because this sect is inextricably linked to other sects, Roman Catholicism, English Puritanism, Orthodox Christianity, and even Amakusa Cross Sect, but none of them are deeply related to any of them. ”
"It's kind of interesting. Evenson said with a smile, a small faction can maintain neutrality between various factions, but they all have connections, this is not something that can be done just by relying on the left and right, and they must have a certain strength, as well as deeper reasons. "Why did Kama Taj notice them?"
"Because they are bent on fighting against the devil. Claire's answer surprised Evenson. It is only natural that those who are confused with God do not deal with the devil. But "on what basis are they against the devil?"
It's one thing to want to do it right, it's another thing to be able to put it into action. I still want to have the three series of oranges full, but I can't only think about it.
"This faction has always lived an extremely ascetic life, a way of life that strengthens their bodies and at the same time gives them a touch of mystical power. Claire replied.
No wonder, Evenson thought. With the blessing of mysterious power, it is naturally stronger than ordinary people. And they are bent on dealing with the devil, not only do not participate in the struggle for power and division of power within Christianity, but also can increase the prestige of Christianity, no wonder other factions can tolerate them, if there is such a treasure, I will keep it. However, the mysterious power that the church has in its possession is very concerning.
It's not that Evenson hasn't been in contact with the church, the orphanage he was in when he was a child is an institution that belongs to the church, and the staff in it are all nuns who are dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but there is no difference there, even the extremely pious dean, but the spirit is a little tougher than ordinary people.
And in the later stages of the Witchheart incident, he found that the file stated that the Witchheart had killed a priest in a church. This made Evenson feel that there was Hong Qi... Oh no, with Odin there is not necessarily Yahweh, or that of the earth, which is Gada, has been classified as the glory of the god of the north.
But now that he learned from Claire that some of the church personnel did have the power of the mysterious side, this made Evenson have to be cautious, so he asked tentatively, "Since they are all fighting against external demons, the Supreme Mage must have been in contact with these peers." ”
"Don't be funny, what kind of peers are they? Claire frowned, pouted and said, "If it weren't for the demon kings in hell and the great devils, it would be difficult for them to go to the lower realm, and those ruthless characters who could come to the world would have been eliminated by us, and they would have been finished with their strength." ”
Oh, this reassured Evenson a bit, even Kama Taj didn't look down on their strength, it seemed that they weren't much stronger. But Evenson looked at Claire strangely, as if she was unhappy with the church.
"You don't know, these guys are all insane. Claire said hatefully, "I thought that His Excellency the Supreme Mage had deigned to go and talk to them about cooperation in person, but they took swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, pointed at the nose of the Supreme Mage, and said that she was an evil witch and must be tied up and purified with flames." ”
"It's... That's really insane. Evenson said, covering his face. Tie up the ancient one and burn him to death? I'm not so crazy, okay? "Later?"
"Later... Hmph!" Claire snorted coldly, "His Excellency Supreme Mage was young and vigorous back then, and he directly stunned them, and hung on the tower for two days of cold wind. ”
You didn't strip off your clothes, did you? Alas, no, Evenson glanced at the smug Claire and said, When the ancient one was young and vigorous, he didn't have yours, what are you doing?
Evenson shook his head, shook off these nonsensical thoughts, and then said to Melinda, "Change course, let's go to that church first." ”
Although he knew that the mysterious power in the hands of this church was not powerful, Evenson decided that it was better to see it than to believe it, not to mention, whether the power was strong or not, he wanted to know what the attributes of the mysterious power used by this peripheral church were.
"Don't go to Ghost Rider. Melinda asked curiously.
"Our purpose is to find Locke, and Ghost Rider is just the means to find him. And now—" Evenson pointed to the image of the church, "Wouldn't it be a pity not to have such an obvious clue in front of me?"
Melinda nodded understandingly. At this special time, in a special place, a church belonging to a church that specializes in fighting against the devil was attacked, and who else could the attacker be except the devil's minions, or the devil himself?
About half an hour later, the plane flew to the site of the church.
Viewed from above, this church is built against a hill and is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. But this also caused this large airbus to land directly in the courtyard of the church. So it's worth landing on the road outside.
"Rumlow, send a team of men to search along the road and see if anything will be found. As soon as the plane opened the hatch, Evenson gave the order for the action to be ready to go. "The rest of the people came in with me. ”
And the action team also gave full play to the essence of miscellaneous work, and a person who looked like a small cadre immediately led ten people to search along the highway.
Rumlow himself took the remaining ten men with him to keep watch and clean the smashed door of the church, but judging from the scene, the gate should have been broken from the inside.
Upon entering the door, Evenson did feel an unusual force, but it was so weak that Evenson couldn't even tell the specific attributes.
As the crowd went deeper, they found that the church was littered with bodies that had been shot and killed, priests in monk's uniforms, soldiers in camouflage uniforms and black masks, and armed men dressed casually.
"It's the Swiss Guard, which is directly under the Pope. Rumlow rummaged through the corpses of a soldier, and from the ashes on them, and from a few things, he came up with this answer.
