Chapter 214: List of Believers
"Someone should come here often." The poet looked at the temple which was completely different from the dusty dark passage and realized something was wrong.
If someone didn't come to clean this place regularly, it wouldn't be so spotless.
And it's not just one person.
It is impossible for one person to keep such a large temple so clean, even the folds of the statue's skirt are spotless.
This place is by no means simple.
Everyone was not idle either. They were shocked and quickly started searching.
"There's a box here!" Butler Zhang was the first to find a wooden box under the altar in the temple.
Unfortunately, the box was locked with a large lock that was obviously not something that could be broken or opened by human power.
The poet tried to pull the padlock but gave up immediately, and shouted to the others who were about to come over to find the key first.
Ning Meigui launched a carpet search, wishing to carefully check even every leaf in the potted plants.
However, her efforts were not in vain, as she found a key among a pile of abandoned cushions in the corner of the temple.
Ning Meigui stood up in surprise, but after squatting and searching for a long time and then standing up suddenly, she felt a little dizzy and couldn't help staggering.
Fortunately, Detective He was not far away from her and quickly supported her, preventing Ning Meigui from falling.
Although she was still a little dizzy, Ning Meigui's eyes were still sparkling, and she excitedly showed the key in her hand to Detective He.
Detective He also praised him very politely: "You found the key, great! Are you still dizzy? If you are dizzy, sit down and rest for a while. If you are not dizzy anymore, I will help you open the box."
Ning Meigui could no longer sit still. She had a feeling that the secret of this temple was probably in that box.
She couldn't wait to solve this mystery.
She wanted to know what had happened in the home where she grew up.
What does this temple have to do with the death of her father, Duke T?
The others searched around the temple, but found basically nothing more.
Seeing Detective He helping Ning Meigui to the altar and preparing to open the box, they hurried over, fearing that they would miss out on important clues.
Ning Meigui sat directly on the ground and opened the box.
When it was opened, there was a box full of sacrificial utensils and several booklets.
Those sacrificial utensils were very exquisite, made of gold or silver, and sparkling with light.
However, even without wearing glasses, one could tell that there was something wrong with these sacrificial instruments.
These sacrificial utensils are carved with strange patterns, like creatures from another world. They are twisted and hideous, making people shudder.
But what concerned everyone more were the several booklets inside, and they flipped through them hurriedly.
The more carefully you read the contents of these booklets, the more shocking they become.
Their previous guess was absolutely correct; this was a cult's gathering place for mass sacrifice.
Moreover, this cult has a long history and has existed for more than 300 years, and the Duke T family is the human spokesperson for this cult's evil god.
Ning Meigui's grandfather and great-grandfather used this cult to control people's minds and gradually expanded the entire family. By the time of Duke T, it had reached its peak.
Therefore, for Duke T, the existence of this cult is no longer of much help to him. Instead, it has become a hidden threat to him.
Once the existence of this cult is discovered, his current status and wealth will be in jeopardy.
For the royal family, the scandal of a powerful Duke like Duke T raising a cult is definitely a handle that is delivered right to their doorstep.
So Duke T decided to bury this evil cult forever.
Even Duke T had made a plan. When the congregants gathered next time, he would poison the sacrificial items and prepare traps and explosives. He would never let anyone except himself have the chance to leave the church.
The doctor couldn't help but complain: "This Duke T is really interesting. He wrote down this plan so openly on paper and locked it in a box in the cult church. The key is placed in the church. He is afraid that others don't know his plan."
Butler Zhang said at this time: "This key should not be here, this key should be with the Duke."
Everyone's eyes turned to Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang continued, "I have seen this key. It has always been hanging around the Duke's neck. He never takes it off even when taking a bath. How could it be thrown on the futon in this temple?"
Ning Meigui seemed to have remembered something at this time and echoed: "It seems that my father really has a key hanging around his neck all year round, but I haven't looked at it carefully, so I'm not sure if it is this key."
These booklets also record the development history of this cult and some of its rules and doctrines, all of which are incomprehensible to normal people.
The doctor continued to complain: "No wonder the Duke is so afraid of death. He is so young and healthy, but he takes the initiative to take nutritional supplements. It turns out that he is afraid of retribution for all the bad things he has done."
"Hey, here's a list of believers." Detective He found something interesting and quickly called everyone to come and have a look.
There were no names in the list of believers, but rather a series of incomprehensible symbols.
Detective He, who thought he had found something good, now felt a little heart-attacked.
Clearly, everything else was written in common language, and even something as important as the cult destruction plan didn't use any code. So how come a list of cult members was so mysterious?
A group of people looked at the book with words on it, frowning tightly, and had no idea where the breakthrough to solve the puzzle lay.
Poet Sa: "Look again, there must be other clues here."
Since it is the code used in the cult's list of members, the method to decrypt it must be in a place related to the cult. It is unlikely to be placed outside. There are many people in the castle, and people coming and going outside can easily be discovered.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they could find no clues related to the mysterious symbol on the roster of believers.
Ning Meigui sat next to the box and looked around. She saw the blue light flashlight and glasses placed on the altar by Detective He, and put them on for some reason.
She forced herself to keep her eyes open and observe this strange temple through her glasses, not missing any details.
However, apart from the strange environment, there doesn't seem to be much difference from what you see with the naked eye.
Just when Ning Meigui was about to take off her glasses and think of other solutions, she suddenly saw something and screamed in surprise.
Hearing the scream, everyone thought something had happened and quickly gathered around Ning Meigui.
Ning Meigui's face was full of joy, and she pointed her finger in a direction.
They looked in the direction of her finger, but saw nothing and were completely confused.
