The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 45: Secret

Views:

Regarding Qin Ran's offer of help, Sister Moni and Gong Lansen had diametrically opposite attitudes.

"Thank you, Detective Qin Ran!"

"But this is our business, and if you are involved, there will be a lot of trouble!"

Sister Moni smiled and rejected Qin Ran.

"Well, if you're sorry, you have to have an apologetic attitude, it's definitely not just talking about it!"

After Gong Lansen heard Qin Ran's words, he smiled and nodded.

Then, she persuaded Sister Moni.

"Moni, I like him very much. He has good skills and good character!"

"And, didn't you say he was the best detective in town?"

"Finding those guys is exactly what he is good at!"

Gong Lansen's tone gradually became serious.

He said: "Although we have organized a manpower, those guys are hiding in the dark, and we are all in the open. Once the patience of those guys disappears and there is a conflict... I can't leave here because of my oath, and Lide and the others will definitely suffer heavy losses! What's more, no one can guarantee when those guys will break in—if it is during class... Such a result will definitely not be what we want!"

With Gong Lansen's persuasion, Sister Moni hesitated.

Not only because Gong Lansen has a considerable status in Sister Moni's heart, but also because what Gong Lansen said is the truth.

Once something like that happens...

Sister Moni shook her head quickly.

She would never allow those greedy thugs to harm her students.

"Detective Qin Ran, please!"

Sister Moni turned around and looked at Qin Ran seriously.

"Although I don't have enough money to hire you..."

"Sister Monie, as I said, this is my compensation to you—since it is compensation, of course there will be no charge!"

Qin Ran interrupted Sister Moni's words, and then said, "However, please tell me the whole story in detail! The more detailed the better!"

"This story is not short, I will move the stool!"

Gong Lansen took out three stools from the wooden house as he spoke.

After sitting down one by one, Sister Moni spoke.

"St. Paul's School, known as St. Paul's Church fifty years ago, is the church where the Goddess of Dawn first gave her miracles—about a thousand years ago, of course people regarded this as a legend! In fact, even Gon Lanson and I I don’t know if it’s true or not, but my teacher, the last Pope of Dawn Church, firmly believes that all of this is true, and looks forward to the miracle of the goddess descending again!”

"Unfortunately, until my teacher passed away, nothing happened! On the contrary, the power of the church is constantly weakening. Not only the small Church of Dawn, but even the largest Church of Light has not been spared! People believe even more The power of gunpowder, steam engine, and electricity, knowledge is not only mastered by the church, but more people also have it!"

"However, this is a good thing in my opinion, because everyone is freed from the shackles of darkness and becomes richer and more peaceful! This is exactly the teaching of the Church of Dawn! Therefore, I released the books collected by the Church of Dawn to the public at the very beginning. Some famous scholars, and combined with these scholars, turned St. Paul's Church into St. Paul's School!"

"And I have also changed from the original Saint of Dawn to Sister Moni and the principal, and Gong Lansen, my guardian knight, has also become the last knight of the Church of Dawn!"

Sister Moni's tone was calm, and she spoke lightly about the changes in St. Paul's Church and the changes in her and Gong Lansen's identities.

That peaceful tone and faint voice seemed to be talking about a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

But Qin Ran, who was sitting by the side, felt a little sadness from the two of them.

That's not just a change in the mood of the two of them.

There are also historical changes.

The wheel of history cannot be stopped, it can only drift with the tide.

If you are helpless, the rest is naturally sadness.

Because, blockers will inevitably be crushed to pieces under the wheel of history.

Gong Lansen is the last knight of the Church of Dawn, which is enough to explain everything.

Where did the rest of the knights go

Even if he died of old age, illness, or accidental death, etc., there should not be only the last knight left.

Even, from the fact that Gong Lansen's energy is comparable to that of others in his prime, he should know that these knights of the Church of Dawn live much longer than ordinary people.

The change of the times is bound to be accompanied by bloodshed!

The conservative camp was broken by the innovative camp.

It's not something that can be done simply by talking about it.

In Qin Ran's mind, those old-fashioned knights were unwilling to accept the changes of the new era, so they launched a charge.

Facing rows and rows of muskets and cannons, they rode their horses and launched the most brilliant charge in their lives.

Bright and fleeting.

And this is just a handful of the most innocent people.

This change in the new era will inevitably affect countless people.

In the end, the outcome is clear.

Qin Ran remained silent. The weight of history prevented him from opening his mouth at will.

Even... this is not the history he knows well.

Sister Moni and Gong Lansen were also silent, and they seemed to be trapped in the memories of that year.

After a long time, Sister Moni came back to her senses,

"Sorry, I think of some memories—I always think of some things from that year recently!"

"And what caused us trouble is also some things from that year!"

Sighing, Sister Moni continued to talk.

"Although the Dawn Church back then was only a small church, not even one-tenth of the Bright Church, it still had thousands of years of accumulation—whether it was knowledge or wealth!"

"My teacher, the last pope of the Church of Dawn, he hopes that the Church of Dawn can make a comeback again, so he hid this batch of wealth!"

"But the teacher hid this batch of wealth too secretly... Even Gong Lansen and I don't know!"

"Or, because Gong Lansen and I let him down, he didn't tell us, but told other people!"

"But the final result is that that batch of wealth has completely disappeared!"

"And just when Gong Lansen and I were about to forget about this matter, a group of people suddenly found me, hoping that I could tell them the whereabouts of this batch of wealth—they promised to bring the Church of Dawn back to the world!"

"I turned them down, but they persisted, and their methods became more and more excessive!"

"That's why Lid was so nervous when he saw you!"

Speaking, Sister Moni expressed her apology again.

"So it is!"

Qin Ran suddenly understood.

"What is rebuilding the Church of Dawn? It's just a group of guys who have learned about the church of Dawn's secrets and half-claws from nowhere!"

"Don't say we don't know, even if we know - it's definitely not good to tell them!"

"If it's not because of the oath that I can't leave here, I will definitely let these greedy guys understand what courting death is!"

Gong Lansen clenched his fist angrily.

looked extremely angry.

And Qin Ran would never doubt the other party's words.

The previous fights had given Kieran a deep understanding of the opponent's strength. If it was just fighting with bare hands, he would definitely not be a match for the opponent.

The opponent's strong physical fitness and special skills are all better than him.

Moreover, the opponent not only has physical and unarmed skills, but also is no stranger to weapons.

At least among the weapons Altili Hunter saw, Kieran knew that the last knight of the Dawn Church in front of him was no stranger to gunpowder firearms.

Even, it should be quite familiar.

Such a person with strong physical fitness and knowledge of fighting skills, gunpowder and firearms, if he wants to kill some people, the latter had better pray that they will not be found by the other party.

"What are the characteristics of these people?"

Qin Ran asked.

"They sneaked in quietly, all with their faces covered, and there were only two people in front of me. I don't know if there are more people!"

Sister Moni shook her head, unable to provide any more clues.

"Okay, leave the rest to me! I promise to find these guys in the shortest possible time!"

Qin Ran didn't expect to get more information from Sister Moni. Since those who wanted to find the wealth left by the Church of Dawn, they would naturally be prepared.

But this did not prevent Qin Ran from deciding to accept the side mission.

[Discover side mission: Peepers!]

[Sub-task: A group of unknown guys discovered the secret wealth left by the Church of Dawn, and they wanted to obtain this wealth through Sister Moni! You promised Sister Monie to find these guys and save the whole St. Paul's from accidents!]

Kieran glanced at the reminder of the side mission.

Compared with the first branch mission, the difficulty of the immediate branch mission has definitely more than doubled.

Not only the number of the other party cannot be determined, but also the whereabouts of the other party cannot be determined.

Apart from sitting on the sidelines and waiting for the rabbit, Qin Ran has no better way at the moment.

However, Qin Ran didn't show any embarrassment.

He said goodbye to Sister Moni and Gonransen with a smile.

Of course, in order to avoid the trouble of meeting the captain of the nursing school, Kieran entered the [Stealth] state again.

This time is different from when I came in.

It was with the consent of Sister Moni.

After leaving St. Paul's School and the street where the school is located, Qin Ran sorted out his clothes, carried the box containing [Venom-M1], and walked out of the shadows.

Qin Ran didn't call for a carriage.

Because this street is not far from his residence.

Looking at the sky that was about to get dark, Qin Ran planned to walk back and buy some food along the way.

You know, he hasn't eaten for a whole day.

However, when Kieran had advanced less than 20 meters, he suddenly realized that someone was following him.
