N-M Chapter 210 Investigation Team?
Chapter 210 Investigation Team?
Vatican City, at the bottom of a deep pit of ruins.
Lin Fan squatted in the corner, watching the scene of various natural disasters gathering outside, and was also deeply shocked.
However, these natural disasters come and go quickly.
In just over ten minutes, all the disasters began to come to an end.
He slowly stood up, barefoot on the ground mixed with gravel and snow, looking around, trying to find something to wear.
In the end, all they could do was pull out a tattered altar tablecloth from the ruins and wrap it around their waist to cover their vital parts.
Upon seeing his appearance, Da Wu couldn't help but send a wave of disgust through his mind.
"Shut up, it's not you who's going to be the one embarrassed."
Lin Fan wrapped himself tightly in the tablecloth and looked around.
At this moment, the entire cathedral has been completely transformed.
The once-closed underground space is now directly connected to the ground, with a hazy sky overhead and collapsed stone walls and piles of rubble all around.
The remaining snowflakes are still falling sporadically.
He glanced down at the primordial crystal; its surface was dull and cracked, looking as if it might shatter at any moment.
I then carefully observed the changes in my body.
Golden threads spread throughout the meridians; although the quantity was small, they had already achieved a certain balance with the power of calamity.
And it's clear that the improvement in physical fitness is real and tangible.
He picked up a piece of pebbles from the ground and squeezed it hard.
The gravel was crushed into powder directly in the palm of his hand.
"Can."
He used to need the help of Black Scales to achieve this level, but now he can do it with his bare hands.
But what caught his attention even more was the dark gold symbol on the back of his right hand.
This symbol hasn't disappeared yet; in fact, it's become slightly clearer than when it first appeared.
Through it, Lin Fan was able to continuously sense the group of tombstones in that dark space.
Especially that cracked tombstone.
The crack is bigger than before.
A dark golden light spilled out from the crack, growing brighter and brighter.
What will come out after this tombstone cracks open?
Lin Fan frowned, unable to help but start thinking, but he didn't have an answer to this question for the time being.
However, just as he was about to withdraw his mental energy, his mental power detected a surprising situation through the mark.
Although he couldn't directly touch that mysterious space through the mark, he had just vaguely sensed that more than one of the tombstones in that group of tombstones had developed cracks.
At least two of them have cracks.
One of them was engraved with swirling symbols, and the cracks were so fine that they could not be detected unless one looked closely.
The other one is engraved with lightning-shaped sawtooth patterns, and the cracks are slightly more obvious.
"How come all three of them are cracked..."
Upon realizing this situation, Lin Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought once again.
What do these tombstones represent?
Is it an ability? Or some kind of seal? Or perhaps...?
"Master Lin!!"
Just as Lin Fan was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a loud shout interrupted his thoughts.
He looked up toward the source of the sound and saw a dusty head poking out from the edge of the pit.
It's Domingo.
The old man was covered in mud and snow, with several bloodstains on his face, but when he saw Lin Fan still alive and standing below, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Lord Lin... Lord Lin, you're still alive?!"
"nonsense."
"Thanks be to God!"
Domingo instinctively made the sign of the cross on his chest, but quickly realized that this might be disrespectful to the unspeakable God, so he changed it to clasping his hands together and then crawling into the pit on his hands and feet.
Seeing this, Lin Fan didn't bother arguing and subconsciously asked, "Where are the others?"
Domingo shouted as he climbed:
"The other four bishops are all up there, and there were no casualties! But the church... is completely gone."
"understood."
Domingo slid to the bottom of the pit, tumbled and crawled to Lin Fan, and didn't forget to take out a folded priest's robe from his coat and hand it to him.
This move surprised Lin Fan somewhat.
Of course, what's even more surprising is... why are you carrying around a missionary robe?
Seeing that he hadn't moved, Domingo immediately spoke:
"I think you should need this..."
Ok!
At this moment, Lin Fan was too lazy to care why the other party was wearing a robe, so he took it and put it on without saying a word.
The priest's robe was a bit big, but at least it was better than a tablecloth.
"What's the situation outside?"
"Reporting to Lord Lin..." Domingo's expression became very subtle, "I have good news and bad news."
"Let's start with the bad stuff."
"The bad news is that the barrier shattered, and people outside saw the disaster at the Vatican. The video has spread across the global internet, and the whole world is talking about it now."
"We probably can't hide it anymore!"
Lin Fan stopped moving.
"……worldwide?"
"Yes. The blizzard, hail, tornado, and torrential rain were all captured on camera. Major media outlets are broadcasting it live, and a large number of reporters and members of the public have gathered outside the Vatican."
Lin Fan remained silent for two seconds.
Well, it's definitely not good news.
"And what's the good news?"
Domingo thought for a moment and answered very seriously.
"The good news is... now officials from various countries are paying attention to this, and according to reports from our insiders in various countries, they may already know of your existence."
"..."
"Wait... what kind of good news is this?"
Lin Fan stared at the other person with his big, bright eyes, somewhat puzzled.
It should be noted that although his identity has been exposed to some people, not many people actually know the truth.
And now, according to Domingo, he has become a celebrity.
What kind of good news is this? I prefer to keep a low profile, okay?
Well, although fame wasn't what he wanted, it's already happened, so he has nothing to complain about.
All I could do was sigh and express my helplessness.
"Oh, right..."
At this point, Domingo added another sentence,
"There's one more thing. Our people also intercepted an encrypted communication..."
"What communication?"
"Several European countries and the United States are jointly discussing and preparing to send an investigation team to the Vatican."
Domingo's expression was serious. "I'm going to the Holy Land under the pretext of 'investigating the causes of supernatural disasters'."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
Investigation team?
The US should know exactly what's going on here.
What does it mean that this is ostensibly a disaster investigation?
Could it be for something here?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the crystal that he had already absorbed a lot of energy from, and he felt more and more that this was possible.
Otherwise, he really couldn't think of anything the Vatican could have that would attract the Americans to come from so far away.
When will the investigation team arrive?
"As early as... tomorrow."
Lin Fan turned his gaze away from the crystal and looked at the dark gold symbol on the back of his hand.
Domingo.
"exist!"
"Do you have a way to detect how much energy the crystal has left?"
"This...no." Domingo shook his head.
"Oh well."
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then continued,
"Now you need to find a way to get everyone to move all the valuable things out of here, leave nothing behind that has any value."
Domingo nodded.
"in addition--"
Lin Fan thought for a moment,
"Have someone keep a close eye on that investigation team, and notify me immediately when they enter the country."
