"Just now he was waiting for you under the stairs over there, why did he disappear?" When Leo was using the mental network to construct a terrain map, Jason was also paying attention to Nelson's situation from time to time. This was because Leo mentioned

Passing Nelson is Martin's target, so he pays special attention to him.

"It should be that the commotion just now attracted the attention of both of us, and someone took the opportunity to kidnap the doctor." Upon discovering that Nelson was missing, Leo's mental network immediately unfolded, but under his search through the mental network, no one could be found.

There was no trace of Nelson. It was obvious that something had happened to Nelson.

Jason, who felt that he should bear some responsibility, suddenly felt guilty and said, "Damn it! If I hadn't looked over there just now..."

Leo said in a deep voice: "It's useless, no matter how you guard against them, they will always find an opportunity."

Catherine was also very worried about Nelson's situation, but she still judged the situation calmly and did not panic. She made the decision she thought was most appropriate and said: "I will go to Major first and ask the church to send someone to look for it, and then go to Martin."

, since it was him who did it, he must know Nelson’s whereabouts.”

"No need! If you go to find the High Priest Major now, I'm afraid it will take some time for the church to send people to find him, and with their ability they may not be able to find him. If it takes too long, there will be

Question." Leo stopped Catherine's approach and asked Jason: "Where was the last place you saw the doctor just now?"

"There." Jason quickly pointed to the steps not far away, then put his hand on the crossbow on his waist, and said fiercely: "If you let me know who tied up the doctor, I will definitely

…”

"You're crazy! If you do something like this now, aren't you afraid that they will misunderstand you?" Leo quickly stretched out his hand and put it on Jason's hand that was about to pick up the crossbow, and then he pulled Jason's robe back up.

He covered the weapon and pointed at several priests not far away who were staring around.

Although with Catherine by his side, according to Catherine's reputation in Cage City, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings, but after seeing the crazy side of those believers just now, Leo was a little unsure whether Catherine's reputation could suppress those believers.

It's crazy, so try not to do any actions that cause misunderstandings to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

After gesturing for the two of them to follow him, Leo walked to the place where Jason last saw Nelson.

After arriving at the place, Leo first activated the perfect control skill to control his nose to enhance his sense of smell. Soon he found Nelson's smell from a large number of mixed smells, and through data collection, restored it to his retina, forming a scent particle.

A humanoid illusion composed of.

Then he released the perfect control skill, activated the mental network skill, and began to analyze the data based on the odor particles. Through the detection ability of the mental network, he easily found the odor particles that matched the data, and also analyzed and organized them.

projected on the retina.

Next, his eyes looked at what Nelson's phantom composed of smell particles had just done here, as if seeing an image from the past.

I saw that Nelson was also attracted by the movement over there just now, but he couldn't see the situation over there from his position, so he went up the stairs, walked to a relatively high position, and looked over there.

However, after watching for less than five seconds, Nelson seemed to notice something. His eyes seemed to follow an object from the front to behind him. Then he walked down the stairs and walked quickly in the opposite direction of the building where the riot took place.

Go.

"Follow me." When Leo saw this, he followed the illusion and walked over there. At the same time, he said to Jason and Catherine, who looked confused and confused.

Jason was nothing. He just had a single mind and did whatever Leo said. He didn't ask why it was right or wrong, and he didn't think about anything else.

But Catherine hesitated for a moment, not understanding what Leo was doing. She just saw Leo standing here for a moment, then his eyes moved to the steps as if seeing something, and then turned to the other side and said

There was no explanation for following him, which made it really difficult for her to explain.

In Catherine's view, turning to the church is the most correct choice now. Even if the church is suspected in Nelson's disappearance, she can completely rely on her reputation in the church to organize a group of search and rescue personnel who are not affected by the church.

It's better than wandering around aimlessly here.

"Can you explain what you are doing?" Catherine followed quickly, walked to a position almost parallel to Leo, and asked in a deep voice.

"Everyone has a unique smell, which is like that person's unique identity." Leo already had a certain understanding of Catherine's character and knew what would happen if the other person didn't figure it out.

He would not cooperate with him honestly. So while looking at the human-shaped phantom composed of odor particles, he followed it and explained to Catherine without looking back: "The smell on a person will not disappear immediately because the person leaves.

On the contrary, it will stay in the air for a period of time. As long as you capture these smells, you can capture what that person has done before and find that person's whereabouts. Huh? How could this happen? "

Leo suddenly stopped and looked at a building that looked like a prayer room in the woods in the garden not far ahead. Catherine was still immersed in the knowledge Leo said and was completely unaware of what was happening.

.

Just as he was talking, Leo had already led the two of them outside a garden on the right side of the Sacrament Hall.

What is different from other gardens here is that there are no sick men in black robes sitting on the ground praying in this garden, but it is empty without anyone. Even the men in black robes are just sitting on the low wall outside the garden.

Side, no matter how crowded, never took a step into the garden.

The reason why Leo stopped and looked surprised was not because of the densely packed black-robed men who were groaning in pain from time to time, but because he discovered through the illusion formed by the smell particles that Nelson's disappearance was not a mystery.

It was like he had been kidnapped as he had guessed before, but more like he had left with some people voluntarily.

From the few movements that the smell particles could show, Leo could tell that Nelson obviously knew someone among those people. Nelson would suddenly leave from the steps before because he saw that person.

After that, judging from Nelson's movements in the scent illusion, he acted a little excited, as if he was persuading or blaming someone, but in the end he chose not to tell Leo and them, and left directly with a mysterious person. This was obviously related to Nelson's

Inconsistent with personality.

Not to mention whether Nelson and Leo's relationship has reached the point where they need to inform each other about leaving without authorization. If his relationship with Catherine hadn't really encountered something urgent and important, it would be absolutely impossible not to be with Catherine.

To say hello.

"What's the matter? Did you lose me?" Catherine, who had recovered from the theory of odor particles, saw Leo suddenly stop and immediately thought of Nelson, asking anxiously.

"I'm not missing you." Leo said calmly, then pointed to the garden in front and the buildings in the garden, and asked, "Where is that place?"

"Those are the small garden and the Palace of Eternal Sleep." Although Catherine was very anxious, she could still see something unusual about Leo, so she still suppressed her impatience and responded calmly: "The small garden was built by the shelter.

The first garden is also the first garden in Cage City, which has special significance. The eternal sleep hall is mainly used to bury all the ancestors who have contributed to the church."

Leo asked again: "Why doesn't anyone go in here?"

"Because of the special meaning, the canon regulations restrict the use of this place. Unless it is a sacrificial day, no one is allowed to go in and disturb the spirits." Catherine seemed to sense something from Leo's inquiry and asked: "Did Nelson go in?"

Inside? If so, he was probably caught and sent to a correctional facility..."

"Caught? You mean there should have been guards here?" Leo captured a small detail.

"Of course there are guards, but now..." Catherine looked around, as if looking for guards.

"No need to look for it, they must have been attracted by the movement there." Leo pointed to the place where the commotion had occurred before, and then without further questioning, he walked directly into the small garden under Catherine's surprised gaze.

Inside, walk towards Yongmian Hall.

Jason didn't think about it and the others followed him. Only Catherine hesitated for a moment, as if she was worried about something. In the end, her concern for Nelson took over, forcing her to risk violating the rules of the Aknaya Church and walk in.

In the small garden.

The three of them soon arrived in front of the Yongmian Hall. At this moment, the Yongmian Hall was tightly closed, and there was a lock on the door. It didn't look like someone had opened the door and entered.

"There is a lock on the door. No one should have gone in." Catherine, who followed closely, saw the condition of the door of the Eternal Sleep Palace and said casually.

Hearing Catherine's words, Leo smiled and retorted: "Can't we send someone to guard the door after entering, lock the door, and create the illusion that the door is not open?"

"Uh!" Catherine couldn't answer for a moment and just opened her mouth.

"But you're right! The door has not been opened, and the lock has not been opened." Leo changed the topic and said: "But they did enter the Palace of Eternal Sleep, and they used the secret door."

"Secret door?" Catherine was completely stunned. Although her relationship with the church was very subtle, she had no real power within the church, and had never managed church affairs, her understanding of the church still exceeded that of most people.

But even so, she had never heard of any secret door in the Palace of Eternal Sleep.

Seeing Catherine's look of disbelief, Leo did not explain, but walked around the edge of the building to the wall covered by the dense woods, then fumbled under the corner a few times, and then saw his hand like

As if it was pressed into something, a slight snapping sound was heard, and then the wall in front of them silently cracked to both sides, revealing an entrance.

"This?" Catherine was speechless for a long time after seeing this scene. Finally, she looked at Leo with deep meaning and said, "Who are you? Why do you know that there is a secret door here that I don't even know about?"

?”

"Please! Miss Catherine." Leo made a ladies-first gesture, but it was a bit unorthodox for a bearded man like him to make such a gentlemanly gesture, which made people laugh.

Catherine only hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the Palace of Eternal Sleep. Although she doubted Leo's intentions in her heart, and even suspected that Leo followed Nelson here for a purpose, her trust in Nelson allowed her to temporarily suppress her suspicions.

In the bottom of my heart.

After the three of them entered the Palace of Eternal Sleep, Leo twisted a little on a hanging lamp next to the secret door, and the secret door closed and restored silently.

From the outside, Yongmian Hall doesn't look very big, but inside, because of the architect's ingenious techniques, it gives people the illusion that the space has been enlarged two or three times in an instant.

The location they were in now should be a personal prayer room. Catherine, who was very familiar with this place, just looked at the decoration in the room and knew where it was. She opened the door and walked out, passing through a one-way corridor.

Came to a chapel.

Although this is a closed indoor space, the building cleverly uses the light refraction of glass to make the chapel very bright.

On the front of the chapel is the statue of Aknaya, but this statue is different from the statue in the square outside.

This statue is an irregular piece of obsidian, symbolizing the uncertainty of God. Eyes are carved on the front of the obsidian, which are then inlaid with gold. A heart is carved on the back against the wall, all painted with ruby ​​powder.

Full layer.

Seeing this strange statue, Leo's first thought was that this church established in a slum was very rich, from the free food provided, from the expensive buildings and gardens outside, and from the sight in front of him

This is a luxurious statue, and every detail reveals that this new church built in Cage City does not have to worry about finances.

However, Leo discovered from the information about the church provided by Martin that in order to promote the church in Cage City, this church did not collect religious taxes from its believers like other churches. Even if some devout believers were willing to donate all their property to

Church, but how much money can people living in such a harsh environment like Cage City have? Compared with the expenses of the church, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

"It seems that this church has other sources of funds." Leo thought of this and had the answer in his heart.

At this time, Catherine suddenly lowered her voice deliberately, as if she was afraid that others would hear half of it, and whispered: "Someone has entered the tomb of the ancestors."

At this moment, Catherine was standing in front of a huge wooden door, waving to Leo and Jason. This wooden door was located just behind the altar where the statue of the god was.

Leo, who turned to this side, didn't need to look more carefully to already know why Catherine said this, because the wooden door was ajar, and someone stuck a wooden wedge in the gap at the bottom of the door, making the door
Chapter completed!
