"So you are also a believer in the eternal light?"

He Ao's gaze narrowed slightly as he pondered, "Is this some kind of infighting among cult members?"

"The Eternal Light is not an evil god,"

Upon hearing He Ao's account, the man shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He is a great god who can grant us strength and guide us into the future."

"Have those homeless people below also reached the 'future' you spoke of?"

He looked at him calmly.

"For the future guided by eternal light, some 'necessary deaths' are unavoidable,"

The man, carrying a broadsword, was now very close to He Ao. "Kid, it's very dangerous here. I'll take you to a place where it's always quiet and no one will bother you."

The black broadsword suddenly rose and slashed towards He Ao's neck.

Then the man felt a chill on his neck, and immediately saw his body flying away, watching the young boy sheathe his knight's sword and pass by his headless corpse.

A cold wind carrying snow swept across his cheek.

boom--

The burly man, carrying a broadsword, fell forward as the headless corpse collapsed.

At the same time, his head fell to the ground and rolled next to the body of the Eternal Secret Cult follower he had just killed.

He Ao calmly stepped onto the platform, stood on tiptoe, and looked towards the church.

As he expected, the building had an excellent view, offering a clear view of the surrounding area of ​​the church.

It's an excellent sniping and observation position, so both sides are vying for it.

At this moment, in He'ao's view, the person he had first seen in the corner was trying to break through the main entrance of the church.

Almost all the guards around the church had gathered to defend against the attack.

The church's guards were not as strong as the attackers, but at this moment, a layer of pale golden light enveloped the church, forming a semi-transparent 'shield'.

Envelop the entire church.

The attackers were unable to break through the shield, so the battle seemed to have reached a stalemate.

However, the attackers did not seem to be unprepared; they huddled together, surrounding a man dressed in light orange clothing.

The man held a small, golden metal object with some kind of upright 'pointer' in his hand, pointing it at the church's main entrance, as if gathering some kind of power.

The guards also noticed the man's actions and were frantically attacking his location in an attempt to stop him.

Gunfire and the clash of melee weapons were almost constant, and the battle had reached a fever pitch.

However, He Ao suddenly noticed that at the end of the street behind the church, a red-haired woman wearing a black leather jacket was carefully and quickly approaching the church from behind.

Although the area was also shrouded in a golden shield, all the soldiers guarding the surrounding area had already gathered at the main gate.

Is this a feint attack?

He Ao seemed to be deep in thought.

In fact, the guards did not completely abandon the back of the church. Every once in a while, a guard would be sent from the front to patrol the back of the church and see if there were any problems.

After watching for a while, He Ao raised his wristband and looked at it. Sure enough, there was no signal. He didn't know which side had activated the signal jamming device.

He took a few steps back, took a running start, and jumped directly onto the rooftop of a slightly shorter building next to him.

After a brief roll to dissipate the force, he quickly jumped out again, landing on the rooftop of the building on the other side.

After several such leaps, he reached the top of a low building behind the church, ahead of the red-haired woman.

Then he glanced at the back of the church.

The church does not appear to have a back door, but there are several large windows on the upper floors.

After a moment's thought, He Ao jumped directly off the side of the low building.

After landing, he quickly scanned his surroundings.

Soon, he found several tents collapsed under the weight of the snow in a corner.

He glanced up at the security camera behind the church, then walked along the blind spot of the camera, cleared some of the snow, and managed to set up a tent near the street corner.

There are many collapsed tents like this in the vicinity. It looks like it used to be a gathering place for homeless people, but it seems to have been abandoned and the people who lived inside are gone.

He quickly pulled open the tent, took the knight's sword from his back, and crawled inside.

The tent wasn't tall and was obscured by a billboard. The streetlights on top were completely broken. From this vantage point, He could see the entire back of the church, but from behind the church where there were streetlights, it was practically impossible to see this spot.

Heo pulled the curtain up most of the way, leaving only a crack, placed his knight's sword beside him, and gazed at the back of the church.

The tent he chose had a layer of soft synthetic fiber quilted cotton underneath, which was already a little damp. In the corner of the tent, there was also a large, messy cotton coat that smelled bad and was also a little damp and felt a bit cold to the touch.

Next to the thick cotton-padded coat was a somewhat old-fashioned small liquid fuel stove.

For homeless people, this kind of large cotton...

Clothing and a fuel stove are important assets; without these two things, it is difficult to get through the cold winter.

No wanderer would leave without taking these two things with him.

It seems that the former owner of this tent did not leave naturally.

While He was pondering this, the red-haired woman in the black leather jacket had already reached the back of the church.

The woman's face looked familiar; I seemed to have seen her at the Dead Tree Bar.

The church's golden shield had not yet been broken. The red-haired woman looked up and glanced ahead, seemingly to confirm the location of the cameras behind the church.

A commotion arose in the distance, as if someone was approaching quickly; these were the soldiers on regular patrol.

Upon hearing this voice, the red-haired woman frowned slightly, glanced around, and then fixed her gaze on the direction where He Ao was.

After a brief moment of thought, she quickly walked towards He Ao's direction, avoiding the blind spots of the surveillance cameras.

Soon, her figure passed over He Ao's tent. He Ao also heard a rustling sound beside him, as if the tent not far from him had also been set up.

A moment later, a guard dressed in the Eternal Secret Cult appeared at the back of the church. He looked around and, finding nothing, hurriedly ran back.

After confirming that the guard had completely left, a soft sound of a curtain being lifted echoed in the quiet street.

He Ao slightly covered the gap in the curtain used for observation.

Soon, a figure appeared in front of He'ao's tent from a distance and then stopped in front of the curtain.

The other party seems to have discovered them.

He gripped the knight's sword in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the figure took out something that looked like a piece of paper from its pocket and quickly squeezed it in through the gap in the tent flap that wasn't fully closed.

After that, she continued forward without stopping.

The piece of paper fell to the ground, and He Ao realized that it seemed to be a folded banknote.

He frowned slightly, picked up the banknote, and unfolded it.

This is a fifty-Federal Dollar banknote with a note tucked inside.

The note was written in a rather strange handwriting:

It's dangerous here. Don't listen or look. Once everything is quiet, leave immediately.

He put down the note and then looked at the fifty federal dollars bill next to him.

So, this is hush money?

He put away the banknotes, pulled back the curtain slightly, and looked outside.

The red-haired woman had now walked to the edge of the blind spot of the church's security cameras.

A loud commotion came from the other side of the church, as if the battle there had reached its final moment.

Then, a dazzling light suddenly shone, and the surrounding city was instantly illuminated as if a giant camera had snapped a picture of it, as bright as day.

Under this dazzling light, the cathedral's golden shield suddenly shattered.

The red-haired woman seized the opportunity, pulled a pistol from her waist, and smashed the security camera behind the church with a few powerful shots.

She then fired several shots at the windows on the second floor of the church. After the glass was covered with cracks, she jumped, smashed the glass, and jumped into the church.

At this moment, He Ao also came out of the tent.

He glanced at the shattered opening, then leaped...

He leaped in as well.

This appears to be a closed office. There are tiny, damp footprints on the floor, seemingly left by a red-haired woman, which lead all the way to the open office door.

He slung his knight's sword over his back and quickly followed the footprints.

The interior of the church seemed to be in complete chaos, and it appeared to be completely without power, leaving the entire church pitch black.

A large number of white-robed priests were rushing down to the first floor, trying to stop the intruders from breaking in through the door.

Soon, He Ao spotted the red-haired woman.

She was moving quickly down a path behind the church, her movements swift and agile as she skillfully dodged the nearby priests and sped forward.

The psychic vision gave He Ao an unusual 'vision' in this chaotic and gloomy world, allowing him to easily identify the figures of people with extraordinary powers around him.

He followed the red-haired woman at a distance, walking deeper into the church.

The red-haired woman seemed very familiar with the church's layout, always managing to find secluded passages to bypass the crowds and reach certain places.

Soon, He Ao followed her to the fifth floor of the church.

There are very few priests left here, but something else seems to be breathing in the darkness.

The red-haired woman seemed very wary of the darkness in the vicinity, and her speed gradually slowed down.

Her figure moved slowly forward, continuing deeper into the church.

Just as she was walking down a corridor, a spider monster as tall as a person suddenly sprang out from the dark corridor.

He Ao sensed that the red-haired woman almost screamed, but she carefully held back in the end. She grasped a disc with a pointer embedded in it, and a faint golden light emanated from the object.

As the light appeared, the spider monster circled the red-haired woman once before turning back and walking into the depths of the corridor.

The red-haired woman let out a long sigh of relief, then continued walking deeper into the corridor that intersected with this one on the other side.
