Along with this chill, the copper pendant on his chest became hot again. This discovery made him immediately feel vigilant.

Did something happen again?

Father Simon looked around and found nothing unusual, so he carefully opened the door. He first pushed it open a crack and looked inside. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He thought for a moment, I turned on the flashlight function on my phone, and a ray of light shone inward...

There seemed to be nothing unusual. Father Simon carefully opened the door wide and walked in step by step. When he opened the door, he suddenly heard what seemed to be a sound...

"...Hurry...the manuscript...destroy it..."

"...Heresy... spread..."

Due to the distance and the low volume of the other party's voice, Father Simon could not hear clearly at this time. He could only guess something from the few words he could hear...

Could it be related to the death of Viscount Delvaux?

In this case, he originally planned to light the lights in the living room as soon as he entered the door, but gave up the action of turning on the light switch. He subconsciously bowed his body and touched lightly in the direction of the sound. He remembered that It seemed to be the direction of the study, and he wanted to hear it more clearly...

“…disguise it as a fire…don’t leave fingerprints…”

"Don't worry, the police here are very slow... they can't find anything..."

"I'm not worried about the police...if those heretics realize...they will definitely take revenge..."

"...the apostle...is not easy to deal with..."

Father Simon tried his best to lower his steps at this time. He was both curious and fearful in his heart. He didn't know why he, who was not usually reckless, actually walked in like this and tried to get closer...

Although he could hear it more clearly now, it was precisely because he could hear it clearly that he felt that there was a huge danger here...

Can't go any further...

Father Simon thought to himself and decided to exit first. After all, he did not have any weapons in his hands at this time. It seemed that this kind of matter should be left to more professional people to handle...

He began to retreat slowly...

However, at this moment, in the dark living room, his feet accidentally touched something, and then, the sound of something falling could be clearly heard... accompanied by the sound of rolling.

"... someone!"

Father Simon's heart sank, knowing that he must have been exposed, so he turned around and rushed towards the door...

But at the next moment, red flames flickered in the study, obviously it was on fire...

"... Ordinary people... Let's go..."

At this time, Father Simon, who had already rushed to the door of the room, felt a little hesitant in his heart. Should he go back to put out the fire?

Chapter 636: Did I kill that monster?

He guessed that there should be some valuable information in the study...

However, the next moment, he stopped thinking about this problem!

"quack!!!"

A strong chill rose behind him, not only because of the sound, but also because he saw a strange monster shrouded in black mist, jumping out of the study room where the flames were swaying.

The monster looked somewhat like a twisted ape with a rickety body shape, but it was much larger than an ordinary ape. Its head was as long as a skull, without a face, and its long arms hung down to the ground, with a pair of strange hands with sharp nails at one end.

This monster was exuding thick black mist. If it hadn't been for the flickering flames that illuminated it, Father Simon might not have been able to see it clearly.

Facing such a monster, Father Simon's breathing gradually became faster and his body trembled slightly. He was very panicked and wanted to turn around and rush out, but he was worried that if he really turned around, he would be attacked from behind.

At this moment, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly backed away, hoping to get out the door first and then try to escape.

However, the monster seemed to have noticed his actions, but the monster squatted down slightly, and then shot out like a huge slingshot, rushing towards Father Simon. Father Simon subconsciously stepped aside. , and then was hit by a huge force and flew up, rolling to the side...

At the same time, there was a violent roar next to his ears, which was the harsh sound of cracking wood!

He rolled several times on the ground and stopped when he was blocked by a sofa. Father Simon ignored the severe pain in his arms and ribs and pushed himself up. He looked up at the door, only to see that the door was as thin as a sheet. The paper had generally been torn off in half, and now only the lower half was still wobbly in place.

However, Father Simon was able to determine that in his memory, this wooden door should be made of thick oak. In modern times, the same material was used to make the decks of sailing battleships...

His heart became colder and colder, and Father Simon endured the pain in his body to support himself. When he was in college, he had participated in some simple boxing training, just for fitness.However, this level of training is simply too unrealistic to face the type of monster in front of you...

No matter what Father Simon thought, the monster had already passed through the broken wooden door and appeared in front of him again. The monster lay on the ground and climbed directly along the wall, just like a spider, as if gravity was completely indifferent to it. kick in.

The monster climbed directly along the wall to the ceiling. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Father Simon again. Then his whole head rotated almost 180 degrees. It was obviously hanging upside down, but its head looked straight at him strangely. In the dark mist, this posture is extremely terrifying!

After that, I saw it crawling towards Father Simon quickly.

Father Simon only felt that his legs were weak at this time, and he kept retreating subconsciously. After stumbling over two chairs, he quickly retreated to the corner, with no way to retreat!

The next moment, the monster's body hanging upside down from the ceiling was seen in a slightly crouching posture, and then it bounced towards Father Simon!

Caught off guard, Father Simon instinctively made a move to block his face with both hands...

And at this moment, a light suddenly rose in this dark place,

I saw a ray of light rising from Father Simon's chest... This was a pure white light that looked extremely eye-catching in this dimly lit house!

The monster that had just taken off let out a sharp scream in mid-air, as if it had been scalded by boiling water. In mid-air, the monster that had originally raised its arms as if about to wave forcefully changed its movements in the air, covering itself with both arms. His face seems to be trying to block this kind of light!

However, the body that had jumped out could not change its direction in mid-air, and it hit Father Simon directly. Even though the fatal claw strike did not appear in the end, it still knocked Father Simon down. On the ground, there was a dull sound!For a moment, he and the monster rolled into a ball.

At the same time, the radiance became more and more eye-catching. It could be clearly seen that the radiance came from Father Simon's chest, and it became dazzling!

This is not the first time such a situation has occurred. This is obviously the light emitting from that pendant!

Miraculously, although he fell to the ground again after being hit, this time, Father Simon did not feel the severe pain after suffering trauma, and further, an inexplicable courage began to rise in his heart.

He turned over and sat up on the ground, then quickly propped himself up. Father Simon glanced at the monster who was also standing up next to him, but he obviously looked a little in a hurry.

As if driven by some kind of force, Father Simon made a fist with his right hand and struck out with a right hook!

"boom!"

In the entire dark living room, it seemed as if a bolt of thunder and lightning flashed, followed by a muffled sound!

Father Simon only felt that his punch seemed to hit a puppet made of sand. With a harsh and shrill scream, the monster in front of him was directly blasted into ashes all over the sky by his punch!

Dots of gray particles were scattered in the air, like dust. Father Simon stretched out his hand in a daze, trying to catch some dust, wanting to see what kind of existence this was?

Later, it was discovered that these dusts were actually some kind of light particles. They had no actual physical form. They penetrated directly into the palms and did not leave anything tangible in the hands.

Soon, these dust-like light particles gradually dissipated into the void.

Was that... really what I typed just now?

Did I kill that monster?

Thousands of thoughts swirled in Father Simon's mind, including excitement, fear, disbelief...many emotions and thoughts swirled back and forth in his thoughts.He hurriedly pulled out the pendant from his chest. The light of the pendant was slowly dimming, but he still immediately confirmed that the light just now was indeed coming from the pendant!

Seeing the light getting darker and darker until it subsided, Father Simon stuffed the pendant back again.After getting rid of the monster, he began to realize another problem!

That is, the flames coming from the study have become more intense at this time, and the firelight has even spread to the living room, accompanied by thick smoke!

Chapter 637 Fire and Investigation

With his heart tightening, Father Simon thought of the words he just heard. He could almost guess that the real purpose of those people was to destroy something!

There may be some important secret hidden in Mr. Delvaux's study...

Father Simon thought of this and couldn't help but go to put out the fire.However, he had just taken two steps when he felt a strong sense of weakness coming from inside his body...

It was as if he had just finished a marathon and then had a wonderful emotional exchange with a young lady. The intense muscle soreness and fatigue made him unable to even support his body, and he fell down as soon as his legs became weak. On the ground.

How is this going?Is it because of the punch I just gave?

Father Simon thought in his mind and struggled hard to get up. However, his tired muscles became inoperable for a while, so he had no choice but to lie on the ground helplessly and anxiously.

Thick smoke spread from the study. At this time, a certain period of time had passed since the study was on fire. The fire began to spread. Not only the interior of the study, but also the door frame of the study was on fire, and the explosive sparks began to follow. The air flow was flying everywhere, and soon, a fire point appeared in the living room!

Thick smoke dispersed in the living room. Fortunately, Father Simon was lying on the ground. If he stood up at this time, he would probably be smoked to tears.

In this way, the situation faced by Father Simon now is not a problem of putting out the fire, but a problem of escaping for his life. If he is not killed by the monster, but choked to death by the smoke of the fire, that would be the real tragedy...

Father Simon began to crawl out with all his strength. Fortunately, the fatigue in his body had already adapted to some, and he had regained some strength. He could barely crawl forward...

Even more fortunately, he heard the distinctive siren of a fire truck coming from a distance. The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was obviously coming in his direction.

Soon, when Father Simon struggled to crawl to the door, a group of uniformed firefighters rushed in from the door. Seeing Father Simon calling for help, they hurriedly carried him out... …

At this time, there were already many fires in the living room, and the fire was getting stronger and stronger!

"Sir, are you okay? What happened here just now?" After carrying Father Simon out, a firefighter couldn't wait to ask him about his situation.

Father Simon swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer what he had just experienced.However, his reason told him that this matter was too weird. If he told the truth, and I don’t know if anyone would believe it, there might be a series of troubles afterwards...

And his primary goal at the moment is to return to Bergopéry as soon as possible... It's a pity... that with Viscount Delvaux's books burned like this, I'm afraid...

He glanced at the burning house, thought for a moment, and quickly introduced the incident to the firefighters.

According to Father Simon, he came to get the books left for him by Mr. Delvaux, but accidentally discovered two thieves in the house. He was knocked down by the thieves, and then the thieves set a fire and fled.

While the firefighter was recording Father Simon's dictation, the fire truck nearby had taken over the high-pressure water cannon and started spraying it into the house.

At this time, the fire and the arrival of the fire truck also attracted the attention of surrounding residents. Some surrounding residents came out to take a look. Many of them were faculty and staff of the college, and several of them even knew Father Simon.

After seeing that Father Simon was not in good condition, an acquaintance wanted to take Father Simon to a clinic not far away for a check-up. Father Simon couldn't resist, so he was helped to the clinic half-heartedly...

The fire has been extinguished, the firefighters have left, and the neighbors who were watching the excitement have also gone back to their homes. The area around House No. 11 has been cordoned off and no one else is allowed to get close. It is claimed that the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Two people in police uniforms were carefully checking the door of the house at this time. If anyone familiar with the local police system was present, they would definitely find that these two people were not police officers from the local police station. Especially, they had nothing to do with the local police. Compared with those slightly lazy police officers, these two men were muscular, sharp-eyed, and obviously much more capable. In particular, the crossed swords logo on their collar badges showed their identities: Grande External Security Bureau agent.

"Father Simon said that the fire was caused by two thieves..." A detective with short gray hair frowned and muttered while reaching out to touch the huge door panel that was half lifted. He exaggerated the gap and shook his head slightly: "This is not something ordinary thieves can do..."

Another brown-haired detective on the side checked for a long time with a flashlight, then turned to the living room to check carefully.

"There were no signs of firearms being used at the scene..."

"But... there are signs of a struggle."

The brown-haired detective stood next to a smashed wooden seat. After carefully checking a broken leg of the seat, he carefully shined a flashlight on the surrounding ground, and then shined it along the ground. On the wall next to it, there were large traces blackened by smoke, but among these traces, he keenly found some neatly distributed traces.

"Leo, come here and take a look at this." He suddenly said.

The gray-haired detective squatting in front of the wooden door stood up after hearing this and walked to his side. His eyes followed the flashlight and fell directly on the semicircular chisels on the wall.

He took a few steps closer and came to a gouge mark. He looked at it for a while, then stretched out his right hand and made a gesture in front of the gouge mark. These gouge marks were very deep, and each group had five points in a semicircle. Distribution, even more than half of the thumb can be inserted.

"Look...does this look like some kind of claw marks?" He suddenly said.

"Even a lion can't leave such deep claw marks on a wall like this, right?" The brown-haired detective did not answer directly, but asked a question.

"Maybe it's something we don't know yet." The gray-haired agent named Leo shrugged and smiled twice.

However, these words were obviously not funny. Instead, they both subconsciously glanced at the surrounding walls and roofs, as if they were worried that a monster would suddenly pounce out of some unnoticed corner...

Chapter 638: The people of the Holy See are really well hidden...

"You are right, maybe it really is something unknown to us..." The brown-haired detective took a deep breath: "After all, this Father Simon is not an ordinary person..."

"Chatham, do you suspect that Father Simon is fighting something?"

"Isn't it like this in movies? The priests of the Holy See fight against the monsters in the dark..." The brown-haired detective named Chatham said while subconsciously looking up at the surrounding ceiling.

"Anyway... Father Simon is obviously not telling the truth. I suspect that he did not come here just to get a few books..."

"Do you suspect that he has some purpose? But we asked Mrs. Louise before, and she did give the key to Father Simon. At least it seems that he only came to pick up some books."

"It's a pity that they were all burned down. Maybe someone really wanted to destroy something..."

"Anyway, let's report it according to the facts. This matter seems to be in deep water. Father Simon may not have any special abilities like the previous intelligence..."

"Do you think he is hiding some of his abilities?"

"The possibility is very high. At least, looking at some of the traces here, it is obvious that he may really have some abilities that exceed ordinary people..."

"These people from the Holy See are really well hidden... No matter what, we will investigate the scene again and report the information quickly..."
