Chapter 24: The Mystery of the Chapel
"It's about 500 meters further than here." Bertha opened the Livy image on her chest, and then she asked, "Alright, let's go." With that, she put away the virtual map and beckoned Luna and Alice to leave.
"How can we get to the Wildisman Detention Center as quickly as possible?" Luna asked.
"Hmm...... The ......," Bertha crossed her hands over her chest, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Theoretically, there's only one way to get there......
"Where?"
Bertha pointed behind her, she frowned, and said, "Sewer ......"
Luna didn't hesitate to hear that it was a sewer, and a look of disgust flashed across Luna's face, but for Yuri's sake, she decided to continue, "It's almost dawn, and we're going to have to speed up." With that, Luna turned and prepared to walk towards the back.
Luna, Alice, and Bertha go to the location mentioned above, and they open the sewer manhole cover, Bertha motions to back off, and she burrows into the sewer.
After a few seconds, Bertha came up and nodded to the two of them to indicate that it was safe down there, and Luna took two steps forward, and just as she was about to jump, she suddenly noticed something.
Hey? What about Alice?
Luna looked back for a moment, and then she found Alice standing on the slightly higher dirt slope next to the ruins, looking blankly at the western wall, where the square was Ke*, where Alice was captured in the last VR and where Bertha had been held and tortured for a long time.
Luna called out to her softly, "Alice? She turned her head to look at Luna, whose silver eyes were mixed with sadness, and Luna continued, "It's almost dawn......
Hearing Luna's words, Alice closes her eyes, and she walks towards the sewer, where the three of them gather, and then descends the sewer.
The sewer was short, and in a moment they were back to the surface, a small alley, and when they came out, Bertha kicked hard at the wall on the right, then jumped the opposite wall, and then kicked again, grabbing the eaves and reaching the roof, and then she dropped the rope. Luna finally reached the roof with the help of a rope, and the three of them ran on the roof.
The light of dawn crossed the alleys, light as a cat, swift as a wolf, and silently like a running leopard, toward the north of the city.
It wasn't until the high walls of the Will Disneyman Detention Center appeared in their field of vision that the three of them stopped.
The Wiltessman Detention Center, Whartont, in addition to Coldridge Mountain's other prison, is also the place where Luna and her second mission are, but it is different, it is full of foreign captives and some habitual slum stealing and murder convicts, they are caught here, enjoying a demonic life, some are used as hard labor, and some are used as human experiments by government research institutions, so this place is called "Whartont's hell on earth." ”
Of course, it's not as famous as the nearby Whitechapel crime district.
"There's a secret passage down from here that leads directly to the church inside." Bertha said, pointing to the ground.
"Where?"
"In our underground church." Bertha whispered.
"Church?" Luna takes a closer look around her, only to notice the sign of a six-pointed star and a trident blending behind her.
"Come on." Under Bertha's guidance, the trio came to a lower wall, and the trio landed in a graceful crouching position.
During this period, the vicinity of the church was deserted, and the trio walked around the side and side of the church to a side door. Bertha urged the three of them to hurry inside, and inside was the church.
Bertha then pointed to the alloy statue and said, "There's a network of sewers all over the city, and it's the only way to 20,000 feet of ground, and not many people know this secret, and at the same time understand that the road below is not lost, and I'm afraid only those who have stayed in it know about it now." ”
"How do you know?" Luna asked. Then she saw Bertha's eyelids drooping a little, and her expression was a little sad, "I used to be a slave here......
Her words were like a piece of air*, and in an instant, she suppressed the atmosphere that was still full of questions just now. In order not to embarrass everyone, Bertha immediately burst into laughter, and she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about that, it's already out anyway." ”
Luna nodded, and Bertha continued, "Fifty meters to the right, there's a chapel that is part of an abandoned basement. Be careful, there will be military dogs patrolling near us, the secret passage is a steel structure, the echo is strong, for the sake of safety, we must crawl forward, the whole secret passage environment is dim, so try to close your eyes before entering to get used to the light, but don't worry, we will not be long after entering, we can see the lights of the chapel. ”
After listening to her explanation, the three of them walked towards the back of the statue, Bertha stepped forward, and then carefully reached for a square embosse on the base of the statue, and then at her feet, a seemingly solid stone slab suddenly flipped downward, revealing a stone staircase. Then Bertha said, "It's time to go." The trio curled up down the tunnel, Luna at the front, Alice in the middle, and Bertha at the back to close the open slate.
Once underground, Luna lay down and crawled forward against the cold, damp ground. The journey was relatively smooth, because the cloister was narrow, and their hands could touch the round walls on either side, and they moved slowly so that they could move silently.
From time to time, the passage will fork, but these can be detected by the touch of both hands: when there is a fork in the road, the hand will no longer touch the wall, but the air.
It would be a nightmare to get lost here, because once you get lost, unless the three of you bring a shovel, you will never be able to go back, because this passage is so narrow that no one can turn around, and all you can do is move forward meaninglessly.
The three of them crept forward cautiously, some kind of noise that startled Luna at first, until she realized that it was nothing more than the sound of rats scurrying by, and that one would sometimes even crawl on her back as she went.
In the niche in the iron wall, you can vaguely see the corpses buried here many years ago, those heads are wrapped in cobwebs, this secret passage turned out to be a catacombs where many people were buried!
The catacombs as a whole have a primal and terrifying feel, and Luna slowly crawls forward as she tries to suppress the panic that has sprung up in her heart.
The three of them slowly moved forward, finally seeing the dim light ahead. Then, she immediately motioned for the two behind her to stop, but fortunately the ground here was soft and the space was just high enough for the three of them to stand up.
The three of them slowly got up, then curled up and slowed down towards the light. They remained hidden in the shadows, slowly moving to the source of the light.
Through the cracks in the wall, Luna was surprised to find a cramped old chapel with five people in it, apparently talking, their silhouettes illuminated by the lights on the side.
Luna immediately recognized Jack Johnson the Ripper in the crowd, and she saw his tall, lanky figure bowing to a bald priest. The older one is praying in a deep voice: "May the Great Creator bless you and give you eternal ......."
At the back of the chapel, in the deep shadows where the lights could not illuminate, a voice came, "Can you not be so old-fashioned?" ”
The speaker walked out, the light shining on their faces, and a man with a mask on his right cheek walked out of the corner with a lady in his arms.
"Adolf......" Bertha whispered, and after listening to her words, she realized that the man with the mask was none other than the regent Adolf. Babas, and the lady standing next to him is none other than Luna's mother: Jaceline!
"Mom!" Luna almost screams, but knowing that if she does, they will be discovered, the meeting with Victoria has exhausted the three of them, and thinking that if they are discovered, Yuri will be in danger, Luna resists.
"Hello, Lord Adolf, Miss Jaceline," Johnson bowed, and Adolf nodded to him, and Johnson straightened up and said to the priest standing beside him, "begin your return, Berenwell. ”
"Everything is in place. We have enough weapons and men in our hands, and the mission is accomplished. ”
Adolf looked serious, and he said, "Tell me about the mission." ”
"In order to check the quality of our new batch of products, we deliberately selected two of them to assassinate Cromwell Guevara and Charles Robert, respectively, and successfully captured Charles's adopted daughter." Berenwell said proudly.
"Which two models did you send out?"
"Wait, let me see." As he spoke, Berenwell took out a notebook from his pocket, and after a few clicks, he found the answer, "Their names were Martin and Mira. ”
Hearing this, Luna's hands clenched, and she understood Mr. Charles's words, and it turned out that Mira was still alive.
"Oh, yes!" Adolf touched his chin, "Let's talk about the progress of the second mission." ”
"After the assassination of Charles Robert, we also sent a lot of corpse troops to participate in the operation and attack other teams as scheduled, so that we could win the rest of the game." Berenwell said.
"Good!" Adolf praised Berenwell's actions, sneering, "Arrest them first, then live stream the video of their torture and then upload it to the Internet." ”
"These brutes!" Luna cursed under her breath, and their laughter stopped abruptly as she slammed her hand on the ground.
"Did you just hear any strange noises?" After Berenville finished speaking, his expression became a little wary, and his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
His actions frightened the three of them a little, and Alice on the side slowly reached for the saber at her waist, just in case she needed it.
"It's supposed to be a mouse." Jaceline on the side said, "It's old here after all, isn't it?" ”
Berenwell slackened, and he said, "Madame is right. With that, he laughed again.
"It's very old, so if we want to talk, let's go to the tea room above." With that, Berenwell stretched out his hand to invite them.
At Berenwell's invitation, Adolf walked in the front, Johnson in the middle, and Jaceline in the back, and as she approached the door, Jaceline smiled at where the three were and then she dropped something on the ground, much to Luna's surprise and curiosity.
After the door to the chapel was completely closed, with Bertha's help, the three of them found the only way to enter the chapel, the vent directly above it. Bertha carefully sliced it with a plasma dagger, then lowered the rope.
Upon re-entering the room, Alice quickly arrives at the door, where she guards it, while Bertha stays in the vent to pick up the trio as they escape, and Luna, who searches for what Jacelyn has left behind.
It was a ball of paper, and when she found it, Luna anxiously opened it, but to her surprise, there was nothing on it! What the hell is going on! Was it just an accident that Jaceline dropped the paperball?
Seeing Luna's panicked face, Alice walks over and snatches the paper from Luna's hand and looks at it intently.
Just as Luna was about to complain, Alice spoke......
