Nie Yuan really didn't expect that the other party didn't know that he would come.

According to common sense, the church should have informed this head a long time ago, otherwise how could it assign tasks to itself.

Seeing that Nie Yuan had no intention of leaving, the guards were about to make a move, but before he could catch Nie Yuan, he felt like the world was spinning.

By the time he reacted, he was lying on his back on the ground, and his shoulder was in sharp pain and swollen.

"Don't be rude~"

Nancy waved her little palm and admonished Nie Yuan condescendingly on her shoulder.

It was she who slapped the guard down just now.

In an instant, it attracted the attention of many people.

Passers-by looked at it in amazement.

The guards guarding the other place also reacted immediately, rushed here with an unkind look, and took down the musket behind their backs.

Whew!

Muskets aimed at Nie Yuan.

And someone went and helped up the guards who had been knocked over on the ground.

"Wait, wait......"

Before the other companions could do anything, the guard endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and hurriedly spoke to stop it.

And tentatively asked Nie Yuan, "Are you here to solve the problems here?" ”

Nie Yuan glanced at him and said, "Yes, didn't I tell you, but I was very puzzled, why didn't you receive the notice from the church." ”

When the words fell, the guards were silent, looking at each other, and their expressions were a little indescribably subtle.

That's not all, Nie Yuan found that they were aiming at their muzzles, but they hadn't even put them down.

With a slight movement in his heart, Nie Yuan seemed to sense something.

"Put down your gun!"

The overturned guard hurriedly asked his companions to put away their weapons and apologized: "I'm sorry, I thought you were trespassing here, after all...... Professionals don't usually bring children into this kind of thing. ”

After speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "But I didn't expect that children are better than adults like me." ”

Nie Yuan suppressed the suspicion in his heart and said with a smile: "It's okay, my sister's appearance is indeed easy for people to misunderstand, and you are just doing your duty."

But why didn't I see the people in the church? Normally, there should be church members guarding here, right? ”

"Yes."

The guard nodded and explained, "But Master Ernest is inside, let me take you over to confirm your identity, what is your name?" ”

"Nie Yuan."

"What about your sister?"

"Nancy."

"Okay, Lord Nie Yuan, Miss Nancy, please come with us."

With that, the guards took Nie Yuan and walked towards the gallery door.

But the strange thing is that the other guards did not return to their original posts.

Instead, he also walked over, apologizing verbally, while hugging Nie Yuan and walking forward.

The suspicion in his heart was even stronger, but Nie Yuan still pressed his voice and followed the guards to the door of the gallery.

The door was not locked as expected, but wide open.

Nie Yuan saw at a glance that inside the door was a large and carefully carved stone entrance, which obscured the scene inside the gallery.

There is also a counter in front of it, which is normally used to receive guests.

But sitting inside the counter at the moment was not the gallery owner, but a middle-aged man in a church uniform with a somewhat haggard face.

He sensed the situation outside and looked up as well.

After glancing at Nie Yuan, he said, "Nie Yuan, Nancy?" ”

Nie Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, you are Ernest, tell me what the situation is now?" ”

Ernest got up and walked over, saying: "The condition of the gallery is quite 'stable', but every late at night, the situation inside may change, and I 'guard' here, just to prevent the problems inside from spreading to the outside world." ”

Somehow, Nie Yuan felt that Ernest bit the words "stability" and "guarding" very hard.

But he didn't ask much, but took two steps forward, looked at each other, and continued: "So, as long as you don't step through the entrance, you won't officially enter, the scene of this incident?" ”

"Yes."

Ernest said with a serious expression: "'Normal' is like this. ”

Again, he bites the words "normal" very hard.

At this point, the suspicion in Nie Yuan's heart began to become clear.

He said, "Did the church send you alone to stay here?" ”

Ernest replied, "Now it's just me, but at first there were three of us, and the other two fell into it.

I'm only a first-class officer, and although I'm better than the average person, I'm not good enough to deal with the situation here, so I can only do my best to do my duty and wait for someone from the United Church to come. ”

"Stuck inside?"

Nie Yuan frowned and said, "How long is it." ”

He didn't see any records of church members falling into them in the archives.

If that's the case, it shouldn't have gone unrecorded, and if it's something that happened recently, then it means that the gallery is out of control.

Rather than a stable state, as documented in the archives.

This means that the United Church should have sent someone to solve the problem a long time ago, rather than simply focusing on the recent outbreak of monster incidents and ignoring the situation here.

After all, no matter where the focus of the deal is, if the abstract source incident not far from the royal city has begun to show a state of loss of control, it should be freed up and solved in advance.

That's the way to go.

This is not the case, and it seems to be contrary to what I see in front of my eyes.

Ernest's answer to this was very obscure, and he said, "Just a few days ago, if you don't believe me, you can ask them." ”

"yes, we know that too!"

Before Nie Yuan could open his mouth to ask, the guards behind him hurriedly spoke, "What Master Ernest said is right. ”

"Yes, okay."

Nie Yuan tilted his head slightly, responded to those guards lightly, and then did not continue to delve into this topic.

Then he said to Ernest: "Is there anything else you would like to add, if not, we will go in." ”

"Yes!"

Ernest stepped forward again, almost hitting Nie Yuan's nose.

Nie Yuan instinctively wanted to retreat, but found that the other party was quietly touching and handed something over from his arms, his expression seemed to be a little nervous.

It was an envelope, and I don't know what was inside.

Nie Yuan took it quietly, put it in his inner pocket, and then took a half step back slightly, and said:

"You say, I'll listen."

Ernest saw that Nie Yuan had accepted the thing and that it had not been discovered by the guards, so he breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"There are a lot of paintings in the gallery, but some, mysteriously missing, only a small part has been preserved.

Be careful with every painting, it may pose a threat to you, whether it is still hanging on the wall or it is gone.

When we were just starting to appear in the gallery, we also photographed each painting in case we needed it.

But alas, those photos are 'missing' inside!

Otherwise, there should be a backup of the files you obtain!

In addition, I see that your information is only a second-level personnel, and the last time the fourth-level incident was resolved, it was only a group action carried out with the church.

And the gallery is at least a level 3 event, are you ready? ”

"No problem."

Nie Yuan was very calm and said, "Our real strength should be stronger than that of second-level personnel. ”

"Lord Ernest, tell Lord Nie Yuan about the precautions and remind them not to take the wrong path."

At this time, the guard behind him spoke again.

Ernest paused, then his expression became more serious, and there seemed to be something different in his eyes.

He nodded to the guards, and then said to Nie Yuan word by word:

"After entering the entrance, you will see two stairs, remember, you must take the stairs on the 'right', the right is the safest, don't go to the left, there is a dead end!"

The word "right" bites harder than any other time.

Nie Yuan almost realized what he meant, and said with his chin bowed: "I know, I will definitely go to the right, don't worry...... What about other than that? ”

"It's gone."

Ernest said, "After the change in the gallery, we can only explore the location of the stairway, and as for what has become of it, you can only explore it yourself. ”

"Okay."

Nie Yuan looked at him and said, "Then we'll go in, you guys look good outside." ”

"Well, good luck Nie Yuan, and ...... Nancy. ”
