Chapter 385 The Weird "Dawn Star" Church
Deep in the sea, several figures cling to sharks, observing from below...
"There seemed to be some unusual movements before..."
"You must have seen it wrong. It was the movement of seabirds. I didn't feel anything..."
"... Maybe... continue patrolling..."
Faint whispers could be heard from underwater, and Colin was standing in the water above their heads, less than thirty meters away. Under the influence of the "Badge of the Humble Knight", even though their eyes actually swept over the two people above their heads several times, they seemed not to see them and kept missing them.
As for their conversation, Colin could only hear it roughly because of his extraordinary senses.
As for the level 5 official he caught, he didn't hear anything. He just saw Colin suddenly become alert and put his index finger to his lips, so he realized that there might be something.
After a while, the cultists who were patrolling underwater like they were riding sharks left...
Colin also withdrew his hand.
Seeing that the situation seemed stable, the Level 5 personnel made a sign language. Colin didn't quite understand it, but he could roughly understand the meaning: Are you leaving?
"I'm gone for now ."
Colin nodded, and without waiting for the other party to say more, he asked: "Is there any place to stay nearby?"
Now, the closer we get to our destination, the more vague the directions become, and it feels like we are in the mountains and don’t know what’s going on…
"Why do I feel like this mission guide is not as clear and specific as it was in the other world when I was on Earth..."
A thought flashed through his mind.
At the same time, the Level 5 personnel who wanted to ask something heard his words, thought for a moment, looked around, especially after pausing several times at several sea buoys, and quickly pointed in several directions:
"A dozen miles to this side, you'll soon see a beach island. A few miles away, there's a group of reefs. This side..."
After pointing out six or seven places in succession, he said, "If this group of cultists is in this sea area, then there is a high probability that they will be in several places around here. Of course, there is also a certain probability that they are in some other secret place..."
"Well... let's go to the reef first."
Colin spoke. This side was quite different from the direction of the patrolling figures, but his intuition told him that there should be something over there.
Then, without waiting for the other party to refuse, Colin asked the little maid to move again.
This time the speed slowed down again, and the process became more secretive...
A few minutes later, Colin saw the reefs that the other party had mentioned . Under the hard reefs that were inhabited by a large number of shell creatures, there was a faint smell of some strange things.
"If they are here, they should have used some method to open a cave somewhere underwater. These cultists of the 'Dawn Star' are indeed good at this kind of thing..." The Level 5 official said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he looked at Colin, thinking that at this time, the suggestion was to go back and apply to invite some specialized extraordinary personnel over.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to find the entrance to the reef...
Moreover, they are not specialized personnel, so I'm afraid that as soon as they find the location, the cultists will have already slipped away.
But before he could open his mouth, Colin took him to a place on the sea, and the surfboard turned into a silver haze and fell into the water.
"This group of people is quite cunning. There is no surveillance at the target location. If the patrol officers follow them, they will probably be led to another place..."
As Colin thought about it, he could feel some cultists underwater from time to time.
None of these figures would approach this place, instead they all ran to other areas...
The search was not quick. In order to avoid accidents, the maid did not move much. It was more than an hour later that Colin, who was sitting on the reef under the scorching sun, got new feedback from the maid.
"Found it. 1.7 kilometers away, 200 meters underwater, there is indeed an underwater cave that meets the requirements. There are signs of life activity inside, and it is not weak."
Colin looked up at the setting sun and slowly stood up from the reef.
“Has the location been determined?” The Level 5 personnel was delighted when he heard this and stood up as well.
Once the direction is determined, they can officially start the layout and request more senior personnel to come...
"It should be almost certain..."
Colin followed the direction given by the maid and was basically certain that the location was accurate.
Next, it's time to dive in...
Seeing Colin's actions, the Level 5 personnel realized that the other party seemed to be planning to take further action personally, and their faces were stunned: "If that is really the enemy's nest, then I suggest that we return now and deploy secretly to avoid alerting the enemy...
"Besides, this will also be safer for us...
"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens..."
At this point, he paused and glanced at Colin. With such an "equal" status, if something happened here, who could bear the responsibility?
However, he did not finish his words, and then changed his tone: "I have already applied for a level 7 expert. As long as he can come, everything will be solved..."
"Level 7? I'm afraid it's not easy to solve the problems here at Level 7..."
Colin accepted the information feedback from the little maid and was basically certain that this task was far beyond the F level.
It is safer to have D-level personnel carry out the operation...
Colin was not surprised by this situation. After all, from what he knew so far, when Bonfire Company assigned tasks, it not only considered the employee's level, but also their actual combat effectiveness.
In other words, as long as employees can endure hardships, there will be endless hardships to endure...
But what it controls well is that employees don't suffer all at once, but instead can endure hardships sustainably.
At the same time, the Level 5 personnel were shocked when they heard Colin's words.
"Level 7 members can't solve the problem here?"
He instinctively didn't quite believe it, because level seven was a mid-to-high level domestic figure, capable enough to solve most problems. If even they couldn't solve it, then the things here were a bit beyond his imagination.
But thinking about this person's peculiarity, I realized that what he said might be true...
For a moment, his breathing stagnated: "Then..."
He wanted to request an eighth-level staff member to intervene in the incident, but the problem was that ever since Li Ping from this district disappeared for unknown reasons, there was no way they could spare any more eighth-level staff members to take up the post. They had always been jointly managed by three seventh-level staff members!
Of course, it is not correct to say that there is no level 8 personnel, because there is one in Base No. 5.
But the one from Base No. 5 can’t possibly leave the base…
The local official forces have no right to mobilize much power from Base No. 5. The forces there only obey orders from the central authority...
As for transferring people from other areas, it is not impossible, but after going through this set of procedures, I don’t know how long it will take for people to arrive.
wrong!
The Level 5 personnel looked at Colin and thought of the document in his hand.
This person, who had a top-level pass in his hand, was almost like the person who traveled with a corresponding companion in ancient times. In a sense, he could also represent the will of the Central Government. If he showed up, he might be able to invite the top fighter from Base No. 5...
However, as his thoughts flashed through his mind, he just had an idea when he heard the other party say, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
"Ah?" The Level 5 officer was stunned. He saw Colin walking forward.
"Wait, you mean, we should go solve it?"
"What else?" Colin said as a matter of course, and was spreading out the nano-intelligent machine to turn it into a small diving device.
It is impossible to dive tens of thousands of miles into the deep sea, but diving a few hundred meters is not a big problem.
Even if it exploded a few hundred meters away, with his physical fitness, he wouldn't have to worry about being torn apart by the sea water...
"Didn't you say that the Level 7 personnel can't handle the situation here at all?" The Level 5 personnel looked confused.
He still couldn't tell how strong Colin was. He could only guess that he might be carrying some special items. But no matter what, given his strength, he could only be level six or seven at best...
"So I'm here now, right?"
"You're here?" The Level 5 personnel didn't react for a moment.
Ke Lin didn't know that so many thoughts had flashed through the other person's mind just now.
Seeing that the other party had not moved yet, he stretched out his left hand to grab the other party's shoulder, and then jumped into the diving device that the little maid had transformed into.
Then he took a deep breath and held it.
In an instant, a mysterious force was added, and the presence of all things related to him was rapidly reduced.
And during this period, any noise he makes will also have a very low sense of presence.
In his current state, as long as he didn't do any strenuous exercise, he could easily hold his breath until the maximum time limit for this item to be used each time, which was thirty minutes...
However, just five minutes later, the two saw a crack under the reef.
Entering along the crack, going down all the way, it was very narrow at first, but after a dozen meters, as if hitting bottom and rebounding, after a turn, an upward tunnel appeared...
Although it was extremely dark up there, Colin could already sense some human presence.
"It's rare for this group of cultists to find such a remote area in a place like this to hide and hold cult rituals."
Colin grumbled inwardly, then asked the little maid to continue upwards.
About ten seconds later, they emerged from the water and saw a cave entrance.
At this moment, the Level 5 personnel's scalp suddenly went numb, because he saw three brown-haired foreign-looking cultists at the entrance of the cave, standing in different places...
They appeared directly in front of the enemy!
However, the next second, he was surprised that the item in the hands of the staff member carrying the "Tongtian" document was still working. They were clearly standing in front of these people, but they seemed not to see them...
They were discussing some very novel things with each other.
"Ah, the ceremony is about to begin... I'm so looking forward to it, looking forward to the mercy of the 'Star of the Dawn', looking forward to her tentacles whipping my body hard..."
"Too light, too light. Only a new member like you would like something without stimulation. Unlike me, I hope she can use her thing to tear my mouth and pour it into me..."
"I'm going to stick out my tongue and lick her portrait..."
"...I have washed every corner of my body thoroughly..."
…
"Ah, strong taste, it has to be European and American..."
Although he had known from intelligence that the "Dawn Star" cultists were a little bit strange compared to other cults, Colin almost vomited when he heard these words...
He felt that he had come to a cult gathering place rather than a religious gathering place.
"And what's the situation with the so-called most beautiful girl, 'Star of the Dawn'... Her name sounds quite normal, much better than the followers of 'Red Moon', but her behavior is even more outrageous than that of the followers of 'Red Moon'..."
Colin glanced at a cultist and could smell a strong smell of blood on him.
And you can see the wounds caused by self-torture under his clothes...
However, he only paused for a short while before continuing to grab the Level 5 personnel, walked past several guards, walked to the entrance of a branching tunnel, sniffed the air, and stepped deeper.
And whatever traces he left behind were all cleaned up by some nano-intelligent machines here...
Even the foam left in the water when it floated up was eliminated.
Although these footprints will not be discovered while he holds his breath, once he lifts the effect, everything will return to normal.
"If I don't actively attack, I guess it would take a Level 7 official to notice it. Well, that's not accurate either..."
"If it's a particularly sensitive Beyonder like 'Fortune Teller', I'm afraid a Level 6 or even Level 5 person would be able to detect it."
"You still have to be careful..."
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Colin grabbed the Level 5 personnel's shoulder with his left hand, and the ring on his right hand changed into a revolver, with the muzzle inserted into his pocket so that he could trigger the "American Iai" at any time.
At this moment, walking in the complex tunnel, Colin couldn't help but think: "If it weren't for the possibility of involving some high-level beings, wouldn't it be great to use a 'Book of Numerology·Fragments' at this time?"
Unfortunately, if I use one now, it would almost be telling the higher being behind the scenes—
I'm going to raid your house.
"It is estimated that only high-level beings in the 'prediction of fate' path can observe without harm. Others can only borrow this power in a crude way, and using it may be almost like seeking death..."
Sighing secretly, Colin suddenly smelled a bloody smell that was different from that of the cultists.
After thinking about it, he adjusted his pace and walked towards that direction.
After a while, screams of exhaustion were heard coming from the front of the tunnel...
At this moment, the Level 5 personnel were startled and seemed to realize something.
"Shhh."
Colin put his finger to his lips.
From the other party's reaction, he could probably guess that the person who screamed should be the undercover agent sent into the church.
Not long after, the two met the undercover agent in a man-made cave.
At this moment, it was obvious that he was caught because he ventured deep into this place. Now he was tied to a stone pillar with wire covered with a lot of thorns, and he looked miserable.
The top of the head starts from the scalp and is divided into three parts like a banana...
Above the hideous mess of flesh and blood, sea water filled with concentrated salt would drip from his head from time to time.
It fell on the head that was no longer protected by skin tissue...
"ah!!!"
The tied-up undercover agent screamed.
Seeing this, the Level 5 personnel were so angry that their eyes were bloodshot and they couldn't help but wanted to save people, but were held down by Colin.
"In order to prevent him from dying, those people did some bleeding treatment. He is now in a semi-comatose state, which is a good thing. Although this injury looks scary, it can actually be saved in the future..."
Colin narrowed his eyes slightly, withdrew his gaze from this man, and looked at other places in the cave.
It was discovered that in addition to this undercover agent, there were more than a dozen other prisoners...
Surprisingly, there are followers of "Red Moon" here!
"Ahhhh! You dirty masochists! Kill me if you can! Otherwise, you will regret it sooner or later! My Lord will purify this land and expel all of you heretics, leaving no one behind!"
At this moment, the "Red Moon" follower, who had almost no skin on his body, screamed and roared.
Just when Colin was lamenting that the Red Moon followers were as tenacious as cockroaches...
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the cave.
Someone is coming...
