It seems that Akagi doesn't want to see Yamato.
"Alright then." Xiaobai didn't force Deepsea Akagi. She gently lifted Deepsea Akagi on her back, as if carrying a super large travel bag, and quickened her pace, skipping and hopping towards the hidden door exit.
quickly.
Xiaobai and Shenhai Chicheng arrived at the entrance.
In Xiaobai's memory, there was no one at the other end of the hall, but this time when Xiaobai carried Shenhai Chicheng and approached the entrance to the hidden door, she found that for some reason, the hidden door had been closed, and outside the hidden door, Xiaobai also heard a commotion of voices.
Near the main gate, Xiaobai leaned against the hidden door, opened it a crack, and cautiously peeked outside.
The hall was filled with believers dressed in black. The former high priest knelt in a corner of the hall, embracing the pope who was covered in filth and wailing.
"Pope—my Pope—my God, my light—who, who did this to you?!" the high priest wailed.
Xiao Bai, hiding behind the door, looked exasperated.
What's this high priest doing here...?
And who are these people in the hall...?
Did they close the hidden door?
No... if they had closed the door, they should have rushed in looking for me long ago. They wouldn't have the leisure to hold someone and wail in the lobby...
Who closed it?
With questions in mind, Xiaobai curiously observed the hall.
Then Xiaobai discovered something.
The believers in the hall seemed to be mainly standing on the side closest to the Pope, while the other side was empty except for a single figure.
The cold-faced nun that the newbie had seen before was standing there quietly.
"It was you! You betrayed our Pope!!!"
The high priest seemed to have exhausted himself from crying and shouting. He put down the pope's body, stood up, and glared angrily at the cold-faced nun.
The cold-faced nun looked at the high priest quietly, her face showing no emotion whatsoever.
Chapter 2388 Battle Nun
A soft, throbbing sensation came from Xiaobai's back.
Deep Sea Akagi slowly leaned her head closer and peered through the crack in the door.
Deep Sea Akagi first stared at the Pope lying in the filth, his life hanging in the balance, then shifted his gaze to the high priest holding a crowbar and looking like a madman. Finally, he swept his gaze over the black-clad believers in the hall and looked at the cold-faced nun who was all alone.
"Is that person your companion?" Akagi asked Shiro.
“Well… strictly speaking, she’s not exactly a companion.” Xiaobai shook her head. “But she helped me before.”
"She seems to be in trouble."
"yes……"
"Are you going to help?"
"Let me think..." Xiaobai looked at the scene outside the door and fell into deep thought.
Although it's not entirely clear what just happened in the hall, judging from the current scene and the emotions of those present, the solitary, aloof nun seems to have been mistaken for the perpetrator of the attack on the Pope. Other cult members, led by the High Priest, see her as a traitor and are gathering forces to try to put her on trial.
To some extent, this cold-faced nun is probably taking the blame for herself.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.
Xiao Bai still had a good impression of the cold-faced nun outside the gate. If her previous actions led to her being judged by the cult, Xiao Bai would feel very guilty. Therefore, both morally and logically, Xiao Bai felt that she should stand up and save the nun who had helped her.
However, looking at the cold-faced nun who remained motionless outside the hall, seemingly not intending to defend herself at all, Xiaobai was also puzzled for a moment.
That's so strange.
The one who attacked the Pope was clearly himself.
This nun took the blame for herself, isn't she willing to explain herself to the believer in front of her? Why is she standing there without saying a word...?
Just as Xiaobai was wondering, outside the door, the high priest holding a crowbar was already approaching the cold-faced nun step by step.
"Anna!!!" The high priest roared the cold-faced nun's name, his bloodshot eyes glaring as he hurled insults at her through gritted teeth, "You vile woman! You despicable sow! You wicked praying mantis! You evil spider! Our Pope trusted you so much, entrusting you with the management and protection of his important residence, and regarding you as one of the most important nuns in our Church! You betrayed the Pope's grace, turning into a demon, embracing darkness!! You actually dared to lay a hand on the Pope while we were away!!!"
The cold-faced nun named Anna merely watched the high priest approach her step by step with indifference. She didn't look at the high priest again, but simply lowered her head and looked at the bloodstains on her toes.
"Anna! Why can't you look us in the eye!" the high priest roared. "Is it guilt that prevents you from raising your head?!"
"...Guilt?" Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Anna's expression finally changed slightly. She slowly raised her head, her cold eyes filled with contempt. "If you ask me why I didn't speak just now, it's because I was just regretting why I didn't kick him a few more times."
The already emotional high priest was instantly ignited by Anna's words.
"Demon!! You are beyond redemption!!" The high priest, his face contorted with rage, swung a red crowbar and smashed it down hard on Anna's pretty face. "Go to hell! Our gods will curse you to never be reincarnated!!!"
The crowbar whistled loudly as it was swung through the air.
boom! ! !
The crowbar slammed hard into the wooden floor, creating a noticeable dent.
The nun who had been standing in front of the high priest had disappeared.
The high priest's ferocious expression froze. He raised his head in confusion, trying to find Anna.
next second.
A clenched fist rapidly enlarged in the high priest's eyes, and then, in the instant before he could dodge, slammed hard into his face.
boom!
The high priest was severely injured and fell backward in an extremely disheveled position, a trail of dark red blood from his nose mixed with his knocked-out teeth flying into the air.
The high priest collapsed to the ground, unconscious. The crowbar in his hand fell to the wooden floor beside him with a crisp sound.
A hand slowly picked up the crowbar from the ground in full view of everyone.
"Go to hell?" Anna slung the red crowbar over her shoulder with one hand, turned to the side, and stared at the black-clad believers in the hall. "Shouldn't I be the one who most deserves to go to hell?"
The black and white nun's habit, stained with the blood that had just spurted from the high priest, along with the red crowbar on her shoulder, was particularly eye-catching.
"The Pope values me highly? Isn't it because I paid a lot in membership fees?"
"He entrusted his residence to me for management? Isn't it just because he wants me to help him hide evidence of his illegal and criminal activities?"
"He sees me as the most important nun? Isn't it just because I have a presentable face that he wants me to use my looks to serve the rich people in the church and squeeze more money out of them?"
"As for God? Sorry, I'm actually an atheist."
"If your god truly exists, he can come and see just how many mistakes you have made during this time."
“Establishing a cult, amassing wealth, manufacturing drugs, using vigilante justice, instigating suicide, kidnapping and murdering victims, aiding and abetting evil, harming young girls… No matter how you look at it, you are the ones who deserve to go to hell, aren’t you?” Anna coldly stared at the black-clad believers in the hall, dusted off her hands, and gripped the red crowbar tightly. “Die, you bunch of scum.”
Anna's eyes instantly revealed extreme contempt and hatred.
That gaze acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the fury of the black-clad believers present.
"How dare you insult our gods!!"
"You must die! You must die!"
"I will hang your corpse in front of the Pope's door!!!"
The black-clad believers rushed forward like madmen.
Facing the surging crowd, Anna showed no fear whatsoever. When the first black-clad believer rushed towards her, she simply took two steps back to dodge his hands, then swung the crowbar in her hand and smashed it hard into the believer's face.
A dull thud sounded, and a believer in black covered his mouth and nose and collapsed to the ground.
Anna raised her elbow and slammed it into the second black-clad cultist who was approaching her.
A dull thud sounded again, and another believer in black collapsed to the ground with a howl.
Bang! Bang! Bang bang! Thump! Thump thump thump thump! !
Inside the hall, Anna's figure danced like a blossoming flower amidst the frenzied crowd.
One by one, the black-clad believers roared and rushed forward, only to be taken down by Anna in a single move.
"She can fight!!! Don't attack her one by one!" a believer in black screamed. "She's alone, let's all charge at her together!"
The black-clad followers instantly rallied into a line, spread out horizontally, and pounced on Anna.
Anna turned around quickly, leaped onto the table behind her in a few steps, and lightly jumped away from the black-clad believers' capture. Then, she nimbly grabbed a candlestick from the table and threw it at the crowd in front of her.
The flame from the candlestick instantly ignited the black robe of a believer dressed in black.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" The black-clad believer, who had been set ablaze, instantly collapsed to the ground, screaming and writhing in agony.
A bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out, so pitiful that everyone present paused in their tracks.
Then, a red crowbar appeared out of thin air.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Anna grabbed a crowbar and slammed each of the three followers who were about to catch her to the ground with it.
Anna is not a woman with great strength or any superpowers, but unlike her quiet appearance, she possesses extremely high fighting skills and experience. Even when facing a huge disparity in numbers, she can always find the posture and place on the battlefield to avoid the most attacks, and then use the most ruthless counterattack to knock down the enemy who gets close to her in one blow.
There were at least forty or fifty black-clad believers entrenched in the hall, but even with so many strong men, they couldn't touch Anna even once.
Hidden behind the door.
Xiao Bai stared wide-eyed in surprise at the fight scene in the hall.
What a strong-willed nun!
Chapter 2389 Is it good? If it's good, it's a good steel plate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
Inside the hall, the brawl continued.
The screams of men, the dull thuds of blunt force striking flesh, the sounds of furniture shattering, and the tearing of curtains mingled together, rising and falling in waves.
Ten minutes later, the sound finally stopped.
Anna raised the crowbar and knocked the last black-clad follower who was trying to escape unconscious. Then she threw the crowbar aside, wiped the bruise from the corner of her mouth, and took a few breaths.
Even for such a formidable woman, dealing with a number of men dozens of times her size would not be an easy task. For instance, during the recent battle, there was still a moment when she was caught off guard and bumped into by an enemy's weapon.
At this moment, there was no one else standing in the hall besides Anna.
Anna took a deep breath, then walked to a perfectly good chair and plopped down on it.
Anna rested for about two minutes, and after feeling less tired, she straightened up and looked intently at the statue in the center of the hall.
"Have you seen enough? Come out," Anna said to the statue.
After a few seconds of silence, the enormous statue moved with a rumbling sound, slowly sliding aside under Anna's gaze to reveal an iron door.
The iron door opens.
With an embarrassed smile on his face, Shiro walked out from inside carrying Akagi from the Deep Sea.
"Sister Xiu...we meet again..." Xiao Bai awkwardly greeted the nun on the chair, then glanced at the bodies of the black-clad believers lying haphazardly on the hall floor, swallowed hard, "I really, I never expected...sister, you're such a good fighter..."
"It really is you..." Anna sighed softly the moment she saw Xiaobai.
Anna was about to say something when she suddenly twitched her nose and smelled a delightful fragrance of osmanthus.
This wonderful fragrance seemed to possess a magical power; even just a few sniffs could quickly revive Anna, who was exhausted from a great battle.
Anna followed the scent to the source and looked at Akagi Akagi behind Shiro.
"Who is this person?" Anna asked, pointing at Akagi.
“She…is my friend.” Xiaobai carried Deep Sea Akagi to Anna and explained, “I came here to rescue her.”
"Was she also kidnapped by a cult?" Anna stood up, walked behind Xiaobai, and looked at Shenhai Chicheng's face. "Since she was secretly imprisoned in this special room, she must be a wealthy young lady with a special status. And judging from the smell, it seems that she has quite a few pieces of the Holy Relic Shroud on her?"
"Well... it's probably because it's been around so many shrouds for so long that it's picked up the smell..." Xiaobai said, turning her head to the side. "At the end of this passage, there's a cell, and the bed inside is covered in shrouds..."
Xiao Bai dared not tell the nun in front of her the truth.
Anna lowered her head and stared thoughtfully at Akagi Akagi for a while.
Akagi kept her eyes closed, ignoring Anna's gaze.
"Big sister," Xiaobai called out to Anna, drawing Anna's attention.
"What's wrong?" Anna asked, looking at Xiaobai.
