Chapter 42 Confirmation
"Prophet?"
The old man was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Her name is Juno, and according to the internal records of the Knights and our research, she should be an intelligent creature from other civilizations. We call them the forerunners. ”
Really!
Su Bai had a premonition before, and now the words of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar confirmed his suspicion.
The so-called prophet who supported the Holy Trinity was none other than Juno among the precursors. It is clear that she has great power in her hands, and even Sanmantha, who has inherited some of the power of Queen Himiko, is no match for her.
The old man said, "Unlike the other Precursors, Juno is hostile to us humans, even hateful. According to the information we know, the Holy Trinity, under her orders, is carrying out a project called 'Sacred Fire'. ”
"Sacred fire?" Su Bai's spirits perked up, "Can you elaborate on it?" ”
The old man said, "We know very little, but what is certain is that this is a purification plan. Their purpose is to cleanse humanity from the earth and build a new world. As for the specific plan, we have no way of knowing. ”
"The Great Flood!" Su Bai immediately thought of the myth in the Bible, and thoughtfully, "First the Great Flood, and now there is another sacred fire?" ”
The old man looked at Su Bai and said, "The Apple of Eden is in your hands, and we will not take it." However, I hope you can protect it and not let it fall into the hands of the Holy Trinity and Juno. The Apple of Eden is most likely a key item in the Holy Fire Project. ”
"All I can say is that I'll do my best." Su Bai shrugged, "But in fact, even if I wanted to, I didn't know how to give this thing to someone else." ”
The old man nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Also, if possible, please stop their plans." ”
"I don't think it's my turn to worry about this." Su Bai said, "If they want to cleanse all mankind, there are only a few ways. Since it's called Sacred Fire, I think I can understand what they're trying to do. Do you think the world will sit idly by and watch them do this? ”
The old man shook his head slightly: "Don't underestimate Juno's strength. The technology of the forerunners is not something we can imagine. The Apple of Eden was just one of the weapons they had made. ”
"When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top." Su Bai said indifferently, and then said, "Besides, if nothing else, I will face that Juno this time." If I have the chance, I will deal with her, and then the so-called Sacred Fire plan will naturally not be carried out. ”
"Hopefully." The old man sighed.
"Now, I want you to be able to provide more information about the Holy Trinity, such as their stronghold or something." Su Bai said, "Since they were once part of you, you should know these things." ”
"We do know something." The old man nodded and said, "I'll tell you everything we know." ”
A smile suddenly appeared on Su Bai's face: "Thank you very much." ”
……
Coming out of the Knights Templar's residence, Su Bai had a thick pile of information in his hand.
"What are we going to do next?" Laura asked.
Su Bai said, "I'll go to a stronghold of the Holy Trinity tonight. ”
"I'll go with you!" Laura said immediately.
"Nope." Su Bai shook his head, "You stay." I'm enough on my own, and Muna needs help too. ”
"You're too dangerous to be alone!" Laura said urgently, "That Juno also has superpowers, plus so many people from the Holy Trinity, and you have to save Sam, it will be difficult for you to cope alone." I can help! ”
"Nope." Su Bai still refused, "I'll go alone, it's more flexible." I wanted to leave, and they couldn't stop me. ”
He looked into Laura's eyes with a serious expression: "Laura, this time you are not facing an ordinary enemy, I don't want you to be injured." Trust me, I'll bring Sam back. You stay at home and take care of Muna, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
In the end, Laura was persuaded by Su Bai.
At night, under the gaze of a pair of worried eyes, Su Bai left Crawford Manor alone.
drove to the outside of a manor, and after turning off the car, Su Bai walked towards the manor with a bow.
For him now, the power of modern firearms is really not as good as cold weapons.
Although it is just an ordinary bow and arrow, after infusing his strength, the power is definitely no less than that of a high-powered anti-materiel sniper rifle. Just like before, Su Bai shot down a drone several thousand meters in the air with one arrow.
Besides, it was night, and the movement of using the bow and arrow was smaller, which was more conducive to Su Bai's silent infiltration.
Of course, if Juno is there, it's useless to do anything. As long as Su Bai is close to a certain range, the other party will sense it. But in the face of Juno, the firearm is no different from a burning stick. If you really want to deal with her, you have to rely on supernatural powers.
Su Bai quietly infiltrated the manor of one of the Holy Trinity strongholds, and did not pay attention to the secret sentry that he had discovered.
After quietly walking around the manor, as expected, nothing was found. Juno wasn't here, and Sanmantha wasn't locked up here.
So, Su Bai left the manor silently, drove away, and went to the next place.
Over the course of one night, he explored the three Trinity strongholds on the list given by the Grand Master of the Templar Order, but found nothing.
The next night, he continued to explore other strongholds, but again found nothing.
On the third day, Su Bai was unexpectedly discovered as he was leaving, and had to have a skirmish with the people of the Holy Trinity in the stronghold. After shooting more than ten people, he was able to escape.
……
in the villa.
The graceful and luxurious woman stood in the living room, looking at the arrow brought by a subordinate, and closed her eyes slightly.
After a moment, she opened her eyes, and there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes: "This is the power of the Apple of Eden, and the Apple is on him." ”
"The subordinates immediately transferred people to attack the Crawford Manor." The man behind her said immediately.
"No need." The woman said lightly, "The sacred fire has reached a critical moment, and we can't attract too much attention from the government." Bring the woman over, and send a message to the man. Let him come here tomorrow night at eight o'clock and exchange the Apple of Eden for his woman. ”
"Yes." The man respectfully agreed, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If he did come with the Apple of Eden, are we really going to release the woman?" ”
The woman glanced at him and said lightly, "As long as you can retrieve the Apple of Eden, everything else is not important." The Divine Fire will consume everything in this world. ”
"Subordinates understood!" The man hurriedly said.
"Then go ahead and arrange it." The woman gave a fluttering command, walked outside, and disappeared in an instant.
