In the face of this sudden intimidation, the young nun was obviously panicked, and almost subconsciously blurted out: "They ......"

"Ruili!" A shout rang out from the entrance of the passage to the back of the temple.

After being interrupted by this voice, the nun named Ruili seemed to know that she had said the wrong thing, so she immediately denied it: "He, they? What are you talking about? ”

At this time, Eunice, who happened to bump into this scene, did not let Ruili continue, but walked over under the gaze of the three of them, and her beautiful black eyes stared at Hand, and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you make a loud noise in the temple? A nun who rebukes the goddess of goodness? ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was a bit serious.

Of course, the Randall priest on the side was very aware of his own doctrines and rules—in fact, not only the good goddess family, but also any temple in this world of Ferron would not allow outsiders to make noise and behave indiscriminately. Not to mention the rebuke of the clergy in the temple! Some strict sects may even put to death those who offend them!

If the two sides quarrel over this, it will be difficult for him, who has been sent by the superiors to cooperate with the investigation.

So, he quickly coughed and said, "Two nuns, don't be nervous, I'm Priest Randall, this is the Inquisitor, where is the priest of this temple?" We have some questions for her. ”

Eunice was silent for a moment.

But soon, when her eyes fell on Priest Randall's bright red patrol robes, she nodded, "Hello, respected Priest Randall. Ruili, will you go to the priest? ”

Ruili nodded and quickly turned to leave.

Then Eunice said, "Please wait a while, you two, the priest will be here in a moment." ”

A moment later, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the hallway behind the temple.

……

Late at night.

A figure silently crossed the street and easily climbed into the wall more than three meters high.

Looking at the temple glowing with warm candlelight from the windows in the darkness, Hand's face was solemn.

As one of the best inquisitors in the kingdom, Hander certainly wouldn't really believe that the priests and nuns in this temple had nothing to do with the recent disappearances in the city.

Because judging by the information he has now...... In fact, what these nuns and priests thought was ingenious was actually full of loopholes in front of the truly well-informed forces!

The Shadow Hands, the Thieves' Guild, and of course their Kingdom Bureau of Investigation are almost 100% sure that the hundreds of recent disappearances in the city are linked to these priests and nuns.

Of course.

Without the most crucial evidence, it would be impossible to move this temple under the protection of the Goddess of Goodness.

Hence the line of Hande and Randall. But it was impossible for Hand, of course, to be like Randall's priest who just made a casual inquiry during the day and counted it as an investigation.

So he decided to take advantage of the cover of night to investigate the temple of the goddess of goodness.

Hand's figure is extremely swift.

He stealthily used the dead corners of the building and the shadows of the cloisters, trees, and grass in the temple courtyard to move himself.

[Stealth 75]

This is the data for Hand's stealth ability.

While this is not a high number for professional Rogues or Assassins, it is certainly a statistic that exceeds the passing mark for Rogues or Assassins.

Few people know that Hand also worked as an assassin in addition to his main profession as a swordsman.

But in fact, Hand's career as an investigator has been solved countless times, criminals arrested, or evidence collected by relying on this secret second career.

This time, the Assassin's profession comes in handy once again!

Hand quietly infiltrated the temple of the goddess of goodness that he had entered during the day.

At this time.

Much of the temple was already in darkness, and the candles on the menorahs that were only kept in key locations were only half burned.

Hand lurked in the shadows at the foot of the statue of the goddess, and quietly observed for a while before he was completely sure that there was no secret sentinel here.

In fact, a temple of this size, while certainly a night watchman, would not normally have a dark sentinel.

After all, this is neither a sect core temple, nor a place for military secrets or treasure vaults or anything like that. But Hand's move was a means prepared by the nuns and priests themselves to prevent them from being involved in vicious cases.

But at this time, it seems that he is a little too careful.

After searching the main hall, Hand, who had found nothing, sneaked into the shadows and felt towards the living quarters behind the temple.

Soon he was able to reach the door of the nuns' room.

Leaning lightly against the door, Hand held his breath and eavesdropped on the voices inside.

After about a dozen seconds, his brow furrowed.

Ponder for a moment.

He tried to push the door of the nun's bedroom gently: squeak~~~

The old doorway made a slight creeping sound.

However, to Hand's surprise, there was no one in the dormitory, where he could not hear any normal breathing outside the door, and the sound caused by small movements during sleep!

He touched the unfolded bedding on a few beds, and the cold temperature also showed that no one in these bedding had ever been lying down tonight!

'What's going on?' Hand sped up his exploration, but when he circled around the temple, he found that there was no one in every room there!

If it weren't for the fact that he had seen the nuns and priests during the day, and if it weren't for some clues of life that showed that there were still people living here in the evening, Hand would have almost wondered if this place had been abandoned.

"There was no one in the temple anywhere...... Could it be?! An idea that wasn't new suddenly crossed Hand mind.

Chamber!

By the way, it must be a secret room!

As an experienced royal investigator, the secret room is really a commonplace criminal method.

Since Hande Youth joined the company, the case about the secret room has never been broken.

Wasn't the 'Disappearance of the Earl's Court' that he personally experienced back then a murder case of using the secret passages in the Earl's Court to kill people?

And those cultists, who did not perform the sacrificial rites in extremely secret chambers or caves?

Even those smugglers hide their goods, aren't they all hidden basements or mezzanines?

"There's no reason why a temple of this size shouldn't have a basement. There must be a basement where you can store your belongings! It's just that...... What to store now is not certain! Cleared his mind, Hand quickly began to search the temple for the entrance to the basement.

Soon, he noticed a secret door under the carpet of the pulpit.
