Chapter 43: The Scarab

"Brother Chen, what should I do now?

"Although everything we saw before was Andrea's illusion, it also means that she must have been in the house at the time, and it was even her who was talking to us, so she must have left behind us. Chen Xuesong said.

"If she leaves the community, she will definitely be monitored and photographed, and it is already late at night, and there are too few people entering the community, and if she goes out, it will be too conspicuous, so she must still be in the community. Song Jingxing guessed.

"You have a point, but if she can turn Paramas into a dog, why can't she herself? or turn into some other critter and get out of other places, and we can't monitor it. Chen Xuesong said.

"If she can turn into other small animals, why not turn Paramas into other smaller animals, after all, a dog, is still a bit conspicuous, unless she does it on purpose. ”

"Huh?" Chen Xuesong was also a little puzzled when he heard this.

Because Song Jingxing's speculation seems to make some sense.

At this moment, Chen Xuesong's phone rang.

Palamas's whereabouts have been found.

That Sherraray was none other than Parmas, and with the target, Shuangyang City's Sky Eye System quickly locked on to its location.

After about ten minutes, Sherari hid in a corner and became human again, and then he kept heading in the direction of Susong Road Pedestrian Street.

"Susong Road Pedestrian Street?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Xuesong asked curiously when he heard Song Jingxing's doubts.

"Tonight's mutton shop is also on Susong Road Pedestrian Street, and that's where we met him, and now what is he running back to? Is there anything there?"

Chen Xuesong was also a little puzzled when he heard this, or was everything just a coincidence?

"Let's go along and have a look. ”

Song Jingxing beckoned Braque, who had been standing next to him, to prepare to leave.

When his eyes swept over his priest's uniform, a flash of inspiration suddenly dawned.

"I remember?"

"Remember?"

Chen Xuesong and Braque looked at him together.

"Emmanuel, Christ Church, isn't the largest Christian church in Shuangyang City located on Susong Road Pedestrian Street?" Song Jingxing said excitedly.

"But what is he doing in church? Don't tell me that he is a devout Christian?" Chen Xuesong was still a little puzzled when he heard this.

"I don't know. ”

Song Jingxing shrugged, and then asked Brak, "Can you take the liberty of asking, what holy relics did Paramas steal from your sect?"

Braque was silent.

"If I can't say it, forget it, I'll just ask. ”

But at that moment, Brak spoke, "Scarab, Palamas stole the Scarab. ”

Song Jingxing and Chen Xuesong's first reaction when they heard this was surprise.

It is said that when Jesus was crucified, he held a beetle in his hand, and the beetle was stained with the Holy Blood of Jesus, saying that he had been blessed by God, which was later called the scarab.

Is the second reaction a loss?

Although the "Bodhisattva of Wishes" is also a sacred object for Buddhism, it still feels like it is not as famous as the scarab beetle.

"The ability of the scarab beetle is not strong, and its biggest role is to emit holy light, and its symbolic meaning is much greater than its actual effect. Braque seemed to read their thoughts, and explained in his strange tone.

After speaking, he added: "Otherwise, the bishop would not have sent me alone to Daxia to recover the stolen goods. ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Xuesong and Song Jingxing believed it a little, if it was something really important, I am afraid that Brak would not come alone.

Of course, there must be religious attributes in it, except for Catholicism and Christianity, it is estimated that no other religion wants this thing.

So the group rushed to the Christian church on Susong Road.

Although it was late at night, the church was still brightly lit.

The tall door was hidden, and Braque pushed the door directly in, and Chen Xuesong and Song Jingxing followed behind.

Christ Church has been in Shuangyang City for many years.

But this is the first time Song Jingxing has entered.

The interior of the church is tall and magnificent, with beautiful frescoes painted on the top, wide windows, rows of seats, and a huge cross in the center, solemn and solemn.

And under the cross, one knelt and the other lay down.

The crowd took a few steps.

I saw an old foreigner lying on the ground.

And it was Paramas who knelt on the ground.

At that moment, the gap in Palamas's coat glowed golden.

Song Jingxing and Chen Xuesong subconsciously stepped back.

Only Braque did not move.

Then I saw a golden beetle crawling out of Palamas's neck.

Its body kept emitting circles of golden light.

Braque knelt down and began to pray.

The golden beetle suddenly spread its wings and flew into the air, landing on the church's huge cross.

Then the light was stronger.

The entire church was dyed gold.

I could hear the angel's song in my ears.

The singing is very good.

It is as if the eye can see the beauty of heaven.

Song Jingxing had an urge to kneel.

At this moment, Chen Xuesong grabbed him and rushed to the door.

"It's so dangerous, I was almost affected by a scarab. ”

When he arrived outside the door, the light of the scarab beetle was separated by the gate, and Chen Xuesong breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's awesome, I almost fell to my knees. Song Jingxing also had palpitations and couldn't help but feel it.

"Thanks to my power itself, it has to do with will, otherwise we might be here today and become devout Christians, fanatics of God. Chen Xuesong said.

"But what happened to those two just now, are they dead, who is that old man?" Song Jingxing asked with some confusion.

"He must be dead, and the one lying on the ground, looking at his clothes, should be the bishop of the church. Chen Xuesong replied.

"Palamas came to Bactria to kill the bishop, and then to commit suicide, and why did he steal the scarab beetle?"

There are so many doubts in this.

The two of them didn't have a clue for a while.

However, the light in the church quickly faded, and Chen Xuesong glanced inside through the crack in the door.

Make sure the scarab no longer glows with light.

Then he pushed open the door and walked in again.

Song Jingxing hesitated for a moment and followed.

I saw that Braque had already stood up, his face full of solemnity.

He was holding a very small bottle in his hand, and he thought it contained a scarab.

"Did you get the things?" asked Chen Xuesong.

As for the two people who died, he didn't care at all, let alone two foreigners.

Braque nodded, and said with a sad face: "Bishop Lawrence is a very good clergyman, he dedicated his life to Jesus, but he did not expect to die at the hands of evil people. ”

"Condolences change. Chen Xuesong hurriedly comforted.

His face immediately changed to a look of grief and regret.

So that's the end of it?

Song Jingxing always felt a little anticlimactic.
