The chapel of the seminary was silent.

The news that Archbishop Bernard is retreating here has brought him a long-lost tranquility. No one will take the initiative to disturb the retreat of this pious monk. Also impressed by his wisdom.

Disqualification is definitely a disaster for a cultivator who intends to make achievements in the Holy See.Especially Shen Qiong, a student who got the chance to retreat only because Tony Stark smashed down a building.

That's why the old monk's words were more because he was so angry that he was overwhelmed by the two people's disrespect for the scriptures, so he said such words.In fact, he began to regret it after he finished speaking, worrying whether this move would annoy Tony Stark too much.

But neither Shen Qiong nor Dick will give him a chance to regret.

Bernard had disappeared for seven days, and during these seven days, they knew nothing about the enemy.The black cross knight who died before has been completely concluded. If no action is taken, they will completely lose the clues related to Bernard.

So Shen Qiong offered to "repent".

In Bernard's usual image, he would not refuse anyone's confession.The most famous case of this archbishop is that he met a repentant murderer during his retreat. He put the gun-wielding villain into the church and gave him guidance to the light.In the end, the notorious serial killer turned himself in and reportedly kept repeating words like "may the father of the prophets guide you and me, I am sin, thank you" when he was arrested.

Although the prisoner will end up in prison for the rest of his life, his soul has been saved and the future seems to be bright.

The old monk understood this, so when Shen Qiong proposed this compromise punishment and insisted on it, he hesitated for a moment and agreed to her request.

In his understanding of Bernard, this great protagonist will be happy to lead these two people back to the right path, to re-recognize the greatness of the Lord and to worship him piously.

So he knocked on the church door.

"Strange, isn't Sir Bernard here?" No one answered the knock on the door, and the old monk frowned, "Impossible."

Shen Qiong gave Dick a look, Dick nodded, stepped forward and said, "Maybe Mr. Bernard didn't hear, or maybe he was sick?"

As Richard Grayson, Dick seems extremely gentlemanly and convincing.

"Have you got the key? Perhaps we should go and see."

The old monk thought it was reasonable, took out the key from his sleeve robe, and opened the door of the chapel.

As soon as the door of the chapel was opened, countless fine lights shot out through the floating fine dust.Under the ceiling made of stained glass, dark benches were lined up neatly, and the wooden door of the confession room on the right was ajar.

The monk stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully, "Master Bishop, are you there?"

Of course there was no response from the church.

"...Strange, I haven't seen Mr. Bernard leave?"

The monk walked into the church full of doubts. He walked towards the large cross at the front of the church. There was already a thin layer of dirt on the desk in front of the cross. He raised his sleeves and wiped the dust on the Bible on the desk. He frowned as if he couldn't understand how the scriptures would gather dust where there was Bernard.

When he briefly cleaned the desk and the cross, Shen Qiong and Dick disappeared as soon as he turned his head.

The old monk suddenly became angry, and looked around: "Mr. Grayson, Miss Frye, where are you!? The church is not a place for you to wander around!"

Although the chapel was small, it was well-equipped. The old monk scanned around and fixed his eyes on the wide-open church door. His first reaction was that the two of them fled. They were so angry that they didn't even have time to lock the door, so they chased them out!

In fact, Shen Qiong and Dick did not leave.

The assassin led Dick into the confessional.

Due to the limited area, the confession room is only about three square meters, which looks cramped and depressing.Dick followed Shen Qiong in, and there was almost no room for the two of them to turn around in this small confessional room.

Dick tried to keep a distance from Shen Qiong in embarrassment, and asked softly, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Qiong's eyes were fixed on all the simple decorations in the confession room, she concentrated, and said casually: "I couldn't come in here last time."

Dick: "What?"

Shen Qiong finally took her eyes away from the only desk lamp in the confession room, she looked at Dick and said, "Last time I came in, I touched all the places in the church, only here I couldn't get in, it went up Locks, the oldest locks. Once I break them, there will be traces."

Dick frowned: "But this is just a confession room." The young man pointed to the only set of tables and chairs in the room, "Could it be possible that Bernard can still hide here?"

However, Shen Qiong watched him peacefully without saying a word, but facing those emerald eyes, Dick doubted his own judgment.He couldn't help but said: "...is there a mechanism?"

"……do not move."

The black-haired girl suddenly spoke, and Dick subconsciously stopped all his movements.There are tables and chairs in the three-square-meter area, and there is only a small area where you can stand.When Dick stopped still, there was no way for him to dodge Shen Qiong's pressed body.

The girl's body is clean and there is no trace of smell. When you close your eyes, you will feel that there is nothing in front of you except air.

"do not move."

Shen Qiong emphasized it again, and then she stood on tiptoe, her chin brushed against Dick's shoulder, her long black hair hung down on his chest - such a close distance obviously made her companion a little uncomfortable.

But Shen Qiong couldn't care about that, she only had the slightly distorted wall in her eyes.

She put her on Dick's shoulders, and almost pressed her whole body against his body, before reaching the piece of wood grain.

In the assassin's emerald pupils, the world is divided into black and white, only this slightly twisted wooden board is bright red.She pressed the piece of wood with callused fingertips, carefully and carefully looking for the wrong place-then pressed hard.

Gada.

The three-square-meter floor cracked!

Shen Qiong withdrew her hand, looked at the dark passage pushing down the wall, and couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly.

She conveniently pulled out the revolver|pist|gun hidden in her boots and handed it to Dick, only this corridor remained in her eyes.

"You're really right." The assassin curled his lips slightly, "This three-square-meter space can indeed hide a Bernard."

The sunlight from the ceiling is warm and holy, while the corridor under the floor is dark and cold.

Dick frowned: "How can there be such a place in the church."

"You shouldn't ask me, I've only been here for a few days?" Shen Qiong took off her gloves, revealing the steel arm she was wearing on her right hand, and her palm emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the steps going down.The assassin estimated the length of the tunnel in his heart, and handed his left hand to Dick.

She didn't turn her head, and said in a normal way: "Let's go, let's go down."

Dick looked at her outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and took it.The corridor was dark, and only by holding hands tightly could the two of them not be separated, but Dick hadn't cooperated with anyone for a long time.

Since leaving Batman and choosing the identity of "Nightwing", Dick Grayson has slowly begun to implement his own justice. It has been a long time since he has cooperated with others like this for a long time.

The moment Ye Yi held Shen Qiong's hand, Ye Yi seemed to return to the old days.The Young Justice League acted together to defend the earth-again, Jason Todt was not dead at this time.

【"——Dick, have you ever tasted death?"】"Did you hear any voices?"

After going down about 200 steps, Shen Qiong suddenly spoke.

Dick was pulled back to reality by her voice, only then did he realize that he had lost his mind in such a dangerous situation.He immediately regained his composure, and listened attentively to Shen Qiong's words——

The young man frowned: "Someone's gasping."

Shen Qiong nodded, with a rare serious expression on her face: "There is more than one."

The dark corridor still seemed to have no end in sight, but at this time they could be sure that what awaited them at the end of the steps was definitely not an empty secret treasure house, but at least a gathering meeting with more than a dozen people.

Shen Qiong's palm moved slightly, and Dick's hand also held the pistol that Shen Qiong handed him.He nodded at Shen Qiong: "Let's go, it looks like it's almost over."

Shen Qiong gave him a meaningful look, didn't say any more, just turned off the lamp in the palm of her hand.

On the last road, they walked down in the dark.

Going down about a dozen steps, a light appeared faintly in the darkness. Both Shen Qiong and Dick were in high spirits and had been covered by any possible eventuality.

It seems to be the world before the industrial revolution. After stepping down the last staircase, an oil lamp is lit every one meter on both sides of the straight corridor.The panting sounds of humans became clearer, and at this distance, the two could still hear the faint breathing mixed with the panting.

Shen Qiong moved her thumb silently, the black Hidden Sword was hidden in the darkness, under her palm.

Dick loaded the gun.

In the next second, the two flashed into the corner at the same time!

Dick grabbed the hook lock that was used to lock mortals above the corridor, and aimed at the corridor from above!Shen Qiong was below him, with emerald eyes like eagles!The Hidden Blade in his hand is ready to be stained with blood immediately!

—But they were all stunned.

Because what they met was not a gathering of enemies, let alone a trial hall of enemies.

It is a prison.

Dozens of prisons were lingering in the dim light of oil lamps.

The sound of human breathing, sound body, and the caressing sound that they thought was crawling at first, are all clearly expressed in this devil painting hidden deep under the church.

There are many young men with disheveled hair and empty eyes in the prison.

They were male and female, a little older, some younger.

There seemed to be nothing in common - except that they were both crazy-looking and emaciated.

Shen Qiong hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward.

Suddenly, a bloody hand stretched out from the prison closest to her!

The nails on this hand seemed to have been pulled out by the owner herself. The bloody fingers were unconsciously grabbing the ground, leaving many suspicious and ancient words on the ground, and a painful hissing sound came from her throat. , like a dehydrated fish struggling desperately on the press.

——And her unrecognizable hand is the tail of the fish desperately swinging!
