My Italy

The scorching sun was scorching the earth, causing a layer of mist to appear on the ground that had just rained, giving people a hazy feeling. However, as the sun continued to shine, the hot and humid feeling made people very uncomfortable.

Cosentz wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky.

Before he could speak, someone started to complain. "Damn this bad weather."

"Stop complaining Ethel, we are all equally hot and patience is a virtue."

As the captain, McClun taught this teammate named Ethel a lesson.

Faced with all this, Cosenz did not speak, but looked on with cold eyes.

One more thing, a group of them disguised themselves as a scientific expedition team and are currently in a small village called Demilu near the temple.

Thinking that he was in Italy more than a month ago and now in India, Cosentz felt a little unreal.

At first, he did not expect that this mission would be to come to India, but now that he has accepted this mission, he needs to go all out.

So when he was in Italy, he tried hard to understand the situation in India and also learned some daily local terms.

However, not all of the more than 30 of them were here. Because there were too many people, they were afraid of being too conspicuous. They were divided into two groups, dressed up as a scientific expedition team and a caravan respectively, and Cosenz was in this scientific expedition team. , serving as an escort. And now they are waiting in this small village for the arrival of another team disguised as a caravan (also a transport team).

Since arriving here, Cosenz has learned about the target. Their target is the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, which was built in the 16th century on the order of the king of the Kingdom of Travancore. Since its construction, the temple has been very popular and attracted many worshipers. Although the number of worshipers in the temple has decreased over the years, it is still quite prosperous.

So if they want to enter the temple, they must choose to do so at night. Of course, this needs to wait until they are reunited, otherwise if there is too much wealth in the temple, they will not be able to move it away.

At this moment, a figure ran over.

This was the man sent to contact the other team. Cosentz remembered that his name was Pino.

Pino, who was sweating profusely, panting and running to Captain McClun, said, "Captain, the caravan will probably arrive here tomorrow evening."

Upon hearing the news brought back by Pino, captain McClun stood up immediately. "Okay boys, now we have something to do."

McClun's words immediately caused the people present to gather around.

"Ethel, you and Simon, let's explore the road tonight."

The two people he named answered immediately. "Okay, boss." "No problem, boss."

"Remember, don't let people from the temple discover you."

The two people who were warned by their words couldn't help but nodded, indicating that they were listening carefully.

"Luna, Trish, and Cole, you three are going to observe the road conditions from the temple to the outside. You need to consider passing heavy vehicles."

"Okay, got it."

The combination of two women and one man immediately answered.

McClun then continued to arrange for the other people to observe all aspects of the temple, preparing to start taking action immediately after the transport convoy disguised as a caravan arrived.

Cosentz, who was standing aside, was not anxious about these arrangements at all, because their tasks were different, or in other words, they were more protective of the team's safety.

Of course, it was impossible for them to do nothing else. After arranging everyone else's tasks, McClun spoke to Cosentz. "I have a mission and I need your help."

"Please say."

"You are guarding the perimeter for us. If, I mean, if there is any big noise, then you need to rush in as soon as possible."

"no problem."

Now that the tasks have been assigned, everyone present immediately makes preparations.

After it got dark, individual figures quietly bypassed the villagers and headed towards the temple.

The Padmanabhaswamy Temple at night is towering and mysterious, and figures in dark clothes quietly approach the temple.

A yawning monk guarding the temple patrolled the temple with a lamp. As a Brahmin temple, there will inevitably be donations from many believers, and in order to prevent malicious prying eyes, necessary protective power is also inevitable.

However, these civilian guardians were no match for professionals. Where the monks did not notice, two figures slipped in unnoticed.

The Padmanabhaswamy Temple is not small, with several disconnected buildings, but these two figures seemed to have found the right target. After passing through the two temple buildings, they came to a somewhat dilapidated building. stopped before.

"Look at the map, this is where it is."

One person held a map, flipped through it for a while and then pointed it out in a low voice.

"Then let's be careful."

The two of them carefully entered the building, which was densely carved with statues of gods, and in the center was the statue of the Hindu god Burning Heaven. After carefully observing it, the two were surprised to find that there was no one guarding it.

So the brave two people immediately began to search everywhere.

“Bang bang bang”

The two people who were carefully knocking on the wall suddenly heard a hollow sound.

"It should be right here."

After one of them pointed it out, he continued to speak. "I'll open it and take a look."

"No, we can't afford it if it alarms others and causes the plan to fail."

"What are you afraid of? Just take a look."

The other person was a little moved by what he said and stopped talking.

So with the combined efforts of the two of them, they pried open the wall tiles and found that there was a hole inside.

"You look outside, I'll go in and take a look."

Before his companion could answer, a thin man got in.

After waiting for a while, the man came out with a disappointed look on his face.

"How's it going? What's in it?"

"It's weird, there's nothing in there, it's so empty."

"How can this be?"

The other man didn't believe it, so he got in too. After a while, he came out with the same disappointed expression.

After the two pressed the wall tiles back, cleaned up the floor, and then moved to the next place.

When it was almost dawn, the members of the scientific expedition team gathered together again.

"Tell me, what did you observe?"

As the captain, McClun immediately called everyone to understand the situation.

"We observed that there were very few people inside the temple at night."

"We have tested the roads and they are capable of carrying heavy carriages."

"..."

After everyone finished speaking, McClun looked at the duo who slipped into the temple and asked. "Tell me, what did you find?"

"Based on the previous topographic map, we found two empty secret rooms. Including the four marked on the map, there are a total of six secret rooms. However, for fear of being discovered, we did not try to open these secret rooms."

"Very well, you all go down and rest."

When everyone was about to get up and go back to rest, McClun suddenly stopped Cosentz. "Vice Captain, wait a moment."

Since he was stopped, there must be something important, so he waited until everyone else had left before Cosentz asked. "what's up?"

"Do you have explosive talent in your team?"

"have."

"I wonder if you have any way to use blasting without sound."

"This is okay, but you need to prepare the raw materials."

"It doesn't matter, I'll let someone buy it."

I didn’t want to make this bad deal, but Italy’s foundation is too poor, so I’ll make it.
