439 Secret (2)

Everyone present immediately perked up and turned their eyes to old Grimm. The fallen angel incident was like a headless case of injustice, leaving their small team with no way to start. They didn’t know where to go and where to go.

Quinn Adams appeared in time and pointed out a way. They followed the way and rescued old green. What old Grimm said next was perhaps the core of the whole incident.

Only by figuring out the whole thing would they know what to do.

Old green turned a deaf ear and continued to eat barbecued meat and drink beer. The group was not in a hurry and just wasted their time.

After a few minutes, old Glyn burped comfortably and sat on the ground, looking at the cement on the ceiling. Speaking of which, this happened 48 years ago …

……

On a stormy night, in the archives of the Royal Court.

It was half-past three in the morning, and some places in the church were still brightly lit throughout the night.

The archive was one of them, with people on duty 24 hours a day. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, people would come over to look for information.

The Dragon Knight wore the ascetic Knights ‘silver armor and walked through the quiet corridor expressionlessly. The dim yellow light illuminated his cold face, making him look even more unreasonable.

In the eyes of the members of the church, the ascetic Knights were unreasonable. They would stare at you with cold eyes and then secretly investigate your personal relationships, financial affairs, and other secrets.

Once they found out that you neglected your duty and abused your power for personal gain, the Blade of Justice would fall.

As the leader of the ascetic Knights, the Dragon Knight was hated by everyone. Everyone was afraid of him, and there were not many people who were disloyal these days.

But at the same time, everyone trusted him, because this guy’s brain was one-track minded, he did not know what private affairs were, and he always handled things fairly.

The archives Department of the church was as big as the library of an ordinary University. There were no miscellaneous books in it, but the biographies of the past popes, Knight commanders, red-robed archbishops, and other figures. The Chronicles of the Supreme Court, the major events that had happened in the past, and so on.

“Dragon Knight!” The administrator who was in charge of guarding the door stood up and bowed.

The Dragon Knight nodded and went straight in.

His boots stepped on the smooth marble floor, and the crisp sound echoed in the quiet archive room.

The Dragon Knight had a goal in mind as he buried himself in The Chronicles. He looked at the timetable and searched year after year.

As one strolled through the time scale, it was as if one had opened the door to history and experienced the glory and decline of the church, making one feel a heartfelt reverence for time.

The history books were the greatest creations of mankind, there was no other.

1972 …

He found it.

The year 1972 was written on the top of the bookshelf. On the corresponding shelf, other than the Imperial court Chronicles, there were also some of the corresponding events. The Chronicles recorded the general Affairs of the Imperial court, such as personnel appointments.

In an entire year, the biggest personnel change in the church was the fall of the head of the Templar Knights. The Dragon Knight remembered that about ten years later, in 1982, pace officially became the leader of the temple Knights and took off the title of acting leader.

That year, he was still very young and went to the ceremony as a Knight apprentice. The Pope personally held the coronation ceremony for pais.

The Dragon Knight was a mental power Awakener, so he flipped through the pages very quickly. He quickly finished the personnel appointments and other contents of the year 72.

Quinn probably didn’t want me to see this. Hmm, let’s look at the mission records. The Dragon Knight stuffed the book back in and pulled out another book. This was a book that recorded the external missions and events of the church.

For example, in 1972, the president of the Association of superpowered beings visited and was received by the Pope. They had an in-depth exchange of opinions on the relationship between the church and the Association of superpowered beings, as well as major international and regional issues of common concern.

The Pope pointed out …

The Guild leader expressed …

Things like this would not be recorded in The Chronicles, but would be recorded elsewhere.

The Dragon Knight carefully read through it. In the year of 1972, other than the death of Grimm Adolf, nothing much had happened.

As he flipped through, the Dragon Knight suddenly froze.

He opened the book to its maximum and saw a shallow, saw-like tear.

This meant that one or a few pages had been torn. The technique was very meticulous. If the Dragon Knight hadn’t been careful and opened the book to the maximum, he wouldn’t have noticed the missing pages.

If he was not mistaken, the thing Quinn Adams asked him to find was recorded on the papers that had disappeared.

Obviously, something must have happened in 1972, and the person behind the scenes wanted to hide it, so he tore off the papers that recorded the contents.

“The lead is cut off.” The Dragon Knight frowned.

Quinn Adams probably didn’t expect this either.

he told me to look for information about 1972, which means I should have been able to find the answer here, but now the clue has been cut off. It can only mean that the person behind this has noticed this.

The paper had been torn recently.

The Dragon Knight turned around and walked to the reception desk. The young administrator was dozing off on the table, making light snores.

The Dragon Knight knocked on the table, waking him up. The administrator stood up in panic, his back straight, and his eyes still drowsy.”What are your orders?”

“Take a look at the surveillance footage from the past two days.” The Dragon Knight said.

There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the archive room, and the content of the surveillance footage was saved for 72 hours. If someone secretly tore the information, the surveillance would expose him.

However, the Dragon Knight was disappointed. The surveillance camera that was facing the 1972 bookshelf had been deleted.

“Eh, why is it gone?” The young administrator was also confused and scratched his head.

“Who was on duty that day?” The Dragon Knight’s expression did not change.

It was normal for the surveillance cameras to be removed. As the leader of commandment, the cases he had investigated could be linked together to form a circle around the Earth. He was used to big waves and had seen even more astute people than this.

Anything that was done would leave behind traces that could not be cleaned.

If you feel that you have no clue about something, that’s because you haven’t found any clues.

It was not a big problem.

“Joseph Charlotte,” The administrator replied.

The Dragon Knight nodded. help me find a backup copy of the year 1972.

Behind the manager was a cabinet that reached the ceiling. It was similar to the medicine cabinet in ancient China medicine shops. Each small cabinet had a year written on it, and inside it was a USB drive, which contained a backup of the relevant year.

the backup data can’t be taken away, ” the administrator said after finding the USB. would you like to read it now? ”

Eragon hummed in acknowledgment and walked in. He sat in front of the computer and browsed through the backup data.

As he had expected, the backup data was the same as the book, which meant that a small part was missing.

“How long have you been managing the archives?” the Dragon Knight asked casually.

“It’s been six years,”

“Have you seen the information from 1972?”

A smart detective had to learn to take the initiative to look for clues. Instead of staring at the clues in front of him. A detective like that would have no soul.

“No, I didn’t,” The administrator shook his head.

A smart detective had to be aware that it was useless.

The young administrator carefully looked at the Dragon Knight’s handsome side profile. He frowned, his eyes filled with disappointment. This Big Shot’s behavior today was strange and confusing. He gathered his courage and asked, ” “If you want to find more copies, there should be more copies of this year’s copies.”

The Dragon Knight suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning.”What did you just say?”

from 1970 to 2008, my teacher was involved in the compilation of all the information. My teacher has a habit of preserving the failed products or flawed information during the printing process. The administrator said.

“Where is it?” The Dragon Knight suddenly perked up.

“They should still be in the basement.”

“Bring me there!”

The administrator was frightened by the Dragon Knight’s burning sharp gaze and nodded repeatedly.

There was a door at the end of the archive, and behind the door was a spiral staircase. Following the stairs, they arrived at the basement.

No one had visited this place for many years. The books stored here had been fermented for many years, and there was a strong moldy smell in the air.

The young administrator found the light switch, and the White incandescent light made a sizzling sound, flickering. These light bulbs had not been replaced for too long, and the voltage was unstable.

There were many books stored in the basement, stacked together on rusty steel bookshelves. The books were covered in dust.

The librarian covered his nose and frowned. there are too many books. I can’t tell which one is which. Maybe there are, maybe there aren’t.

yes. the Dragon Knight nodded. you can go back to your post. I’ll stay here alone.

The administrator left and closed the iron door with a moderate force. In the dark, there was a clear, not-so-loud clang.

The Dragon Knight slowly rummaged through the books. He was not in a hurry. He had a lot of time. The books in the basement were all defective products left from the printing years ago. Some of them were not properly arranged, and some of them had problems with the paper during the printing. They should have all been destroyed, but because of the habits of a certain administrator, they were accidentally kept here.

Half an hour later, he found it.

The book in the Dragon Knight’s hand was exactly the same as the one above, but there was a problem with the ink during the printing, so it was classified as a defective product.

Holding the book in his hand, he didn’t read it immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment.

What Quinn Adams wanted to tell him was in this book. He thought of the recent fallen angel incident and the betrayal of the blood Knights, which might be related to them.

He took a deep breath and flipped it open.

Based on his feelings, he directly flipped to a similar position. As expected, the content on it was something he had never seen before.

11th of February, 1972. There’s information on the cultist’s activities in the outskirts of Carus. They’ve used human blood to draw magic circles, and it’s suspected that they’re offering it to an evil god. They’ve also imprisoned the souls of the innocent and turned them into vengeful spirits …

The heretic cult believers were crazy, inhumane demon descendants forces. They were superstitious, bloodthirsty, and did not conform to the three views of normal demon descendants. On the other hand, terrorists were pure bad people. They were either anti-human or took pleasure in killing and destroying. There was a difference in the definition of the two.

There had been a large number of evil cultists in Europe since ancient times. In fact, it was more or less related to the church. Some small countries with strong materialism usually did not have evil cultists. Even if they did, they were foreigners. That was because there was no soil for cults to grow there.

the court sent three teams of Knights to handle the matter, but all of them died at the hands of the cultists, including the elite team led by the Deputy commander, Kara Thomas.

more and more Knights were killed by the evil cultists ‘assassinations. On the 20th of February, the Pope personally led the head of the Holy Knights, Clint Adolf, to fight against the cultists …”
