After playing a song, Li Yi put the electric guitar back into his body.
"I'll go take a look around and see if there are any demons I can kill.”
"Alright, but you have to be careful. After all, the ritual is about to begin.”
"Got it!" Li Yi bowed and said.
~~~@~@~ Special episode 22 ~~~~~@~
After Li Yi and Dante left, Nero was the only one left in the church. He wiped the steps and cleared a space for people to sit on. Then, he sat down and leaned back on the steps. He put his elbow on the ground and seriously thought about what Li Yi and Dante had just said.
Even if he had an expression of 'I don't believe it at all' at that time, in reality, it was just an inexplicable resistance that was akin to reverse psychology. At least, he knew in his heart that he was different from the rest, and the things that Li Yi said contained something. Even if he hated Li Yi, he wouldn't affect his objective judgment just because he disliked that guy.
And according to his judgment…the item that Li Yi mentioned was extremely believable! He thought about it carefully several times, but he could not find any flaws or loopholes in his words. That guy seemed to be stating a fact.
Well, at least most of the things should be true. For example, the old Pope must be doing some shady business in secret. Nero had been aware of this since a long time ago, but he didn't care. As for whether it was like what Li Yi said, he didn't know.
Nero turned around and looked at the corpses of the knights of the Church. He couldn't help but frown. After his so-called 'comrades' were killed, each of their corpses had changed inexplicably. The hideous faces and the terrifying claws and scales couldn't be the characteristics of human beings at all!
It was because of these doubts and considerations that Nero would 'helplessly' watch Li Yi and Dante leave. Otherwise, with Nero's character, even if he knew that he might not be a match for them, he would never let them go so easily.
The air was filled with a disgusting stench. The knights of the Church had died less than 10 minutes ago, and their bodies were already emitting an unbearable stench. This made Nero believe what Li Yi had told her before he left.
After sitting in the church for about 20 minutes, Credo finally came back with his 'backup'. However, the' enemy 'had left for a long time. Nero was the only one sitting on the steps of the church, listening to the song.
"Nero, where are the two thugs who assassinated the pope? Also, how's your condition? Are you injured?”Credo stepped forward and asked Nero.
Nero took off her earphones and said,""Those two guys escaped, and I couldn't stop them. But compared to this…I think you should talk to me first. What's with the corpses of those knights of the Church? The stench on their bodies was even more disgusting than the maggots (the worms that made up the scarecrows), and the inexplicable changes on their bodies...
You can't possibly tell me that those guys haven't bathed in a long time, right? So what was going on with them? Credo, you must know about them. After all, those knights of the Church are your subordinates.”
Credo didn't say a word. He just silently made a gesture to the knights behind him. Then, the knights quickly scattered to different parts of the church, wrapped the strange corpses with white cloth, and left quickly with the corpses.
Nero: Is it really strange? Credo wasn't good at telling lies. Therefore, when he was faced with difficult questions, he would always remain silent…Nero didn't ask any more questions because she knew that if Credo didn't want to tell her, this stubborn man would never say anything no matter how hard she asked.
Nero watched those knights cleaning up the corpses of their comrades expressionlessly. No one knew what she was thinking about, but her face looked pretty bad.
The strange corpses of the knights of the Church, Credo's strange behavior, and their desperate attempt to snatch back the Pope's 'corpse'.
In the beginning, Nero didn't think much about it. After all, it was a normal thing. After all, the old man was the pope. Even if it was his body, he would still try his best to get it back. But now, he suddenly suspected that those guys were afraid that the pope's body would show the same abnormal signs as those dead knights, so they wanted to get it back at all costs to avoid exposing anything!
"It seems that I have nothing to do. I'll go back first.”Nero's mind was in a mess, which made him feel irritated. Plus, the stench in the air made him unable to stand it.
However, Credo didn't let him go back." Nero, you can't rest now. You are the only one in the Church who has the power and is the most suitable to chase after the two thugs.”
" But how do you want me to chase after him?" Nero said irritably. I don't even have a sword on me now, and I don't know where those two guys are.! To be honest, Kalidor, I really don't have the confidence to complete this mission. I fought with one of those two before and was unconscious for three days! So, Kalidor, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I really can't help you this time. With my current condition, it's impossible for me to capture them.”
