Chapter 64: The Church Meeting
Chen Xi's divine thoughts scanned the inside of the church, and he felt that it was even more solemn inside, and there was a pressure pressing over, and he could only stick to the wall and slowly spread in.
In the many rooms that he entered, Chen Xi glanced at it and found no trace of Feller. Soon, he saw that there was a room in the innermost room that was brightly lit, and there seemed to be a lot of people gathered, and he hurried over.
Penetrating into the room, I saw that it was really full of people, and it seemed that the Bishop Joton was calling all the coadjutors and senior priests to a meeting. Chen Xi knew that this was a bit risky, but Shen Nian still carefully closed it in the corner of the ceiling, quietly paying attention to what they were saying.
"The cardinal of Los Angeles has sent his most competent assistant bishop to New York, but Los Angeles is far from here, and he will not be able to make it for a while, but they will fly over as soon as possible. The Orders in several nearby cities, Boston, Philadelphia, Jersey City, and New Haven, have also sent reinforcements. An adjutor bishop said to Joton.
"Everyone should be very vigilant these days and pray with all their hearts and minds." Ruoton stretched out his hand and gestured at the cross on his chest, and slowly looked at everyone, "The power of vampires cannot be ignored, no matter who encounters them, you must immediately use your greatest strength to kill him, otherwise there may be no chance to resist!" They are evil and too great a threat to God's people. Kill them, and the Lord will forgive us. ”
Everyone echoed and uttered a burst of praise to God.
"My lord, I wonder if we encounter vampires, we can lead them to the Fayuan Temple in Brooklyn." A priest said.
"Fayuan Temple in Brooklyn?" Joton didn't seem to understand, and looked at him suspiciously.
"Yes, it's the Buddhist monasteries opened by monks from China. When the New York City government approved them to build a temple, we protested, but the government allowed them in the name of religious freedom, and we didn't protest publicly to show our Lord's tolerance. These infidels have come to New York to preach Buddhism publicly, and we have just in time for the vampires to clean them up and make them disappear from New York along with the infidels. The priest explained.
"Fars, this doesn't seem to be good, Buddhism is a big religion with influence." Ruoton pondered for a moment and said.
"But they were originally mainly believers in Chinatown, but now there are more and more believers, and there are other ethnic groups, including Americans, who are also converting to faith, which is really not a good phenomenon." Fars replied respectfully.
"May the Lord forgive us. Fars, do as you say. But it should be noted that you have to be more powerful and resourceful to do that, otherwise you will be sucked dry by the vampires before you arrive, and ordinary clergy should resist as soon as possible. After Bishop Joton finished instructing, he muttered again: "I hope these Eastern monks have the strength to deal with vampires, if they can't deal with vampires, we will have to deal with them in the end." ”
"Now that this is the case, what about the guy in the basement? If his accomplices come to his rescue, then we have one more enemy. Why don't you let him go first? "A priest proposed.
"No way!" Ruoton said sternly, "He's a very important clue, we'll deal with him when we're done dealing with the vampire." ”
The others didn't say anything more. Joton clasped his hands together, remembered one more thing, and instructed, "When will Archbishop Clawson's man plane arrive?" You must greet me on my behalf, and you must not neglect it...... Who! ”
Chen Xi was listening carefully to their words, all the vampires they had to deal with were obviously Taichen who had humiliated Ruoton last week, and now that he knew their plan, he simply knew about it in detail, and at the same time, he was ready to inform Taichen so that he could be prepared. Ruo Dun's prominent question surprised Chen Xi, and his divine thoughts quickly retracted to his body.
Chen Xi stood up and saw that there was no one in the entire cathedral, and it was obvious that Shellis and they had rushed to the back, and it was also them who had been discovered by Ruoton just now.
When the St. Ann people came in, their blood began to boil, and when they heard the warning from Shellis rushing over, they chose the latter, and quickly knocked the deacons unconscious. In fact, it was just a few ordinary low-level deacons, there was no holy power at all, and there was no fighting spirit at all, but after beating these people, a few of the Sheng'an clan immediately became confident and quickly rushed to the back.
Shiris had no choice but to go with her, and because Chen Xi was not from their clan, she didn't come with her now, so she didn't go over to call him.
Chen Xi briefly analyzed it and immediately followed, but his body was still hiding in the shadows and did not rush over blindly. His mind swept inside, and saw that the bishop priests had come out of Jodon's room, and they were not very fast, as if they were not afraid of the enemies outside. Several members of the St. Ann's came to the rear and searched for a few rooms, and now they immediately blocked the corridor.
"Praise be to the Lord Almost! It turned out to be a member of the St. Ann's tribe. Ruoton drew a cross on his chest and muttered.
Without Ruoton's instructions, someone was already approaching Shellis.
Chen Xi didn't know what the mana of the Sheng'an people was, but from fighting with Xuelisi, he found that they would have some ancient spells similar to magic, and they were not dark at all, so they should not be restrained by the holy light. The people of the church will pass by themselves, only the bishop is more powerful, and the others are nothing. If a few other St. Ann's people were at the same level as Shirlis, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with these church people.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi was relieved, Shen Nian quickly turned to find the entrance to the basement, and asked them to fight, but he still hurried to save people, and it seemed that the credit for saving people was a little greater.
Chen Xi's mind scanned all the rooms in the back of the church, but he didn't find any entrance to the basement. Did they make a hidden mechanism? This is the habit of the ancient Chinese, as if these foreigners don't understand this. He concentrated his mental strength and began to search, and searched again, but to no avail.
Where will it be? Chen Xi frowned. After a while, his heart lit up, why must the basement be in the back? The divine thought shot out again, towards the cathedral in front of it. That's right! Finally found it this time!
Chen Xi found the entrance, he really didn't expect that the entrance to the basement was actually in the front cathedral, and it was also under the huge icon. He walked to that entrance, lifted the big red carpet, lifted the floor, and quickly went underneath.
It's not very big underneath, it doesn't look like a special private cell, and there are no precious things in it, not much different from the underground storage rooms of many homes in New York.
Chen Xi walked into the ground and immediately heard the scolding: "You biao raised by you!" I regret not using the bomb for not killing you! Someday, I'm going to blow you up! ”
When he heard it, he knew it was the voice of the gunman that day, "Hey! Dude, be quiet, I'm here to get you out. You don't need to welcome me with such words, do you? Then he found the switch and turned on the light.
The gunman of the Sheng'an clan, that is, Sheller's brother Ferrer, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Chen Xi, and he also stopped scolding. After a while, he recognized Chen Xi, the same Oriental who had beaten the clergy with him before he was arrested.
"You...... How could you come to save me? Feller was really incredulous, and said in surprise, "Didn't you want to arrest me that day?" I'm not friends with you? ”
Chen Xi came to his side with a smile and saw that he was chained to a pillar by a thick iron chain, "I'm indeed here to help you, but this thing is too thick, how can I get it open?" ”
Feller looked at Chen Xi suspiciously, but he still thanked him, "I don't know why you want to save me, but you better go, you have alarmed those biaozi raised, you are not their opponent, didn't you try it last time?" ”
Chen Xi squatted down to inspect the chain, and said: "We have an old Chinese saying, called 'Shibei three days, impressive', we haven't seen each other for a week, I couldn't beat them last time, and I may not be able to beat them now." Moreover...... Hey, you're here every day, haven't you studied how to escape? How do you break this chain? ”
Feller calmed down and said a little frustratedly: "How to escape?" This chain is thicker than a bullwhip, and it is really a crime to tie it to the body, and these biao people have two big locks! Of course, he didn't know how to speak bullwhip, in fact, he was even more rude, and Chen Xi translated it as bullwhip instead.
Chen Xi stretched out his hand to pull the chain, and really saw that there were two big locks. He laughed, if there was no lock, it would be trouble.
"Hey, Brother Ferrer, can you lend me the gold ring from your hand? Isn't it golden? Don't be a fake! Chen Xi saw Feller wearing a gold ring on his hand tied to him.
Feller thought for a moment and said, "Of course. Since you've come to save me, you shouldn't want anything from me. He muttered in a low voice, "I'm tied up now, and there's no way you can force it, but it's better than being taken by those church people." ”
Chen Xi took off his ring, it was really pure gold, he slowly pulled the ring open, and then stabbed it towards the big lock.
"By the way, how do you know my name is Ferrer?" Ferrer then remembered and asked in surprise. Then he heard a snap, and it seemed that the lock had been opened! I couldn't help but be even more surprised. "How did you pick the lock? Is it just gold to give? ”
"Of course, it's not just gold, in fact, the big lock looks strong, but in fact, except for some more sophisticated ones, most of them are easier to open." Chen Xi then opened another lock, "I don't want to ask me how I opened it, of course I won't tell you." Of course, he wouldn't say that he had learned the art of lockpicking from a thief in prison.
