The Shadow of The Beginning

Chapter 84: Goshawk and the Courtyard

Views:

Tristana saw the interaction between Jobtran and Pippi, which reminded him of his time in Arkham Orphanage.

Before Tristana could recall the past, a hawk flew down from the sky.

This is a messenger trained by the Investigation Bureau. The secret sentry and the Investigation Bureau personnel rarely have direct contact in the city of Umr. Instead, information is transmitted through goshawks in most cases, so that the identity of the secret sentry can be hidden under the surface.

Tristana took off the note tied to the goshawk's foot, which contained some information about Eisen's whereabouts.

"The subject was observed leaving Lady Freya's castle in a carriage and arriving at Ulmerminster Cathedral, but in a wheelchair. It is unknown what happened to the subject. The subject is still in the cathedral."

Tristene read the note quickly, then handed it to Jobtran with a serious expression.

"The news from the secret sentry, about Eisen. Take a look."

Jobtran first put the water bag on the ground and wiped his wet hands casually on his body before taking the note.

When Jobtran saw Minster Abbey, he stood up suddenly.

He looked back in the direction of Ummr, and then at the route he had been following, which was obviously pointing to Minster Cathedral.

According to the information, Eisen was also in Minster Cathedral at this time.

If Yudekao and Eisen meet, something terrible will happen.

Jobtran felt a little helpless. The secret sentry did not have the ability to fight the mysterious enemy head-on and usually only served as eyes.

Now Eisen is afraid that he has already encountered Yudekao, and he only hopes that it is not too late to go back.

Jobtran shouted,

"Boys, we are about to set off. Run at full speed. The target is Umminster Cathedral!"

"receive!"

Everyone in Team Six shouted in unison.

They advanced towards the cathedral in an orderly formation with great momentum, while Pippi followed Jobtran and ran happily.

When they saw the spire of the cathedral not far away, they quickened their speed even more.

They arrived, but the environment here made Jobtran feel confused.

According to the normal schedule, this should be the time for the choir to sing praises to the holy light, but there was deathly silence all around.

Apart from the occasional chirping of insects and birds in the jungle, there was no obvious sound in the church.

This made Jobtran feel a little uneasy.

The most sensitive Pippi bared his mouth as if facing a powerful enemy and barked continuously in the direction of Minster Cathedral.

Pippi could already smell the strong fishy smell in the air, the smell of danger and malice, the smell coming from the human-faced rat.

Although Pipi didn't know what kind of creature it was, the evil smell was enough to trigger its instinct to fight, so it was currently in a state of alert.

Dogs have a hearing ability 16 times stronger than humans. They can distinguish extremely small or high-frequency sounds, such as ultrasound.

Dogs have a strong ability to judge the source of sound and can tell the direction of the sound source after hearing it.

As for Pippi now, he even heard more than a hundred rustling sounds, distributed in every corner of the church.

This made Pippi feel uneasy, and its alert and uneasy posture was noticed by the observant Jobtran.

Based on the silence around him and Pippi's alertness, Jobtran made a preliminary analysis and concluded that there must be danger in the church, and it was not an ordinary danger.

Jobtran made a warning gesture to his team members. If they communicated with words at this time, it might alert the enemy.

But in fact, this behavior had little effect. When Pippi barked loudly, he had already alarmed the human-faced rat in the church.

They are waiting for the uninvited guests outside the door to enter their territory.

Jobtran first patted Pippi's back a few times to comfort it, and then led the team to the locked main gate.

He pushed hard several times, but the main door didn't move at all.

Seeing this situation, Jobtran led the team to the entrance of the side hall.

The door there was half open. With a gentle push, it creaked open.

The entrance to the side hall does not lead directly to the interior of the church, but requires passing through a small courtyard.

In Jobtran's impression, the trees and flowers in this courtyard were growing extremely lushly, but the current scene was completely different from what he had imagined.

The oak tree, about three meters high, broke in the middle and fell to the ground, crushing many flowers and plants.

All the flowers in the courtyard appeared to be wilted, as if they had lost their nutrition and were struggling on the verge of death.

The fallen tree was hollow, with a hole as big as a baby in its center, as if it had been bitten by some creature.

The apocalyptic scene in the courtyard formed a sharp contrast with the lush green trees outside.

It's just a door away, but it feels like stepping from heaven into hell.

After observing for four weeks, Jobtran realized that the clergy in the church must be dead, otherwise they would not allow such a thing to happen.

What's more, the flowers and plants here are regularly maintained by dedicated personnel. Under normal circumstances, this situation would never occur.

When the entire team entered the courtyard, a dark shadow began to crawl quickly along the wall. Pippi noticed the abnormality, but was too late to rush forward because the leash around its neck was not loosened.

The dark shadow passed by the door and hit it.

With a bang, the door was slammed shut by a dark shadow.

After doing this, the black shadow left along the wall.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the bang, and they turned back to see what happened.

The door of this side hall had been smashed by the black shadow, the entire door bolt was dented, and the iron structures were tightly entangled together.

Jobtran winked at Tristana, who nodded and walked to the door.

No matter whether you push or pull, you can't open the door.

The people in Security Team 6 were now in a stalemate, and they became trapped beasts in a cage.

The walls on all sides are about eight meters high, and it is not easy to climb up with a ladder.

The way out now is to find another door that is not damaged.

At the same time, the tasks required for this visit to Minster Abbey have not been completed yet, so I can only bite the bullet and continue the investigation.

In this case, Jobtran first loosened the collar around Pippi's neck, and then put the leash and collar in his waist bag.

Then Jobtran signaled everyone to draw their weapons and form a square formation.

Such a formation can take into account sudden situations from all directions and will not be dispersed.

It is still unknown what kind of monster is lurking in Minster Abbey, but it is definitely not a good thing.

The players in the front row drew out the standard long swords on their waists, while those in the back row took off the flintlock rifles on their backs, held them in their hands, and loaded them with mithril bullets.

When everything was ready, we continued to move into the church.

They were confident because they were an experienced security team 6;

They were fearless because they trusted their leader, Joe Butran;

But they didn't know that there were countless pairs of bright red eyes staring at them in the shadows.
