Chapter 394

Under the command of Feichen, the four priests finally took down the body and laid it flat on the ground. Burke covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and squatted down to examine the body carefully, while Behrman walked up to Franche and said coldly, "your business is finished. It's time to go back. Remember, you can't say a word about what you see today, otherwise... You'll never see the Lord again. "

Fletcher was frightened by the body and didn't want to stay here any longer. When he heard Berman's words, he nodded in panic. He didn't want the carriage carrying supplies. He rode on a horse and fled quickly.

After sending away the people who were in the way, Behrman turned back, came to Burke and asked in a low voice, "bishop, what's the situation?"

Burke stood up, shook his head and said, "suicide."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned, and Fei Chen said in a hurry, "it's impossible. Suicide is a great crime. How can such a devout nun make such a vicious mistake."

He suddenly turned his head to the cage and said angrily, "maybe it was the devil again?"

In the iron cage shrouded in black cloth, Amanda's sneer came out: "Feichen, use your uncommon brain to think about it. I was still in the United States two or three weeks ago."

Feichen angrily said, "you devil, insidious and cunning, what means can't you make it out."

Amanda disdained: "tell me, what's my purpose? What are the benefits? "

Feichen's expression stagnated, opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Burke waved his hand and said, "calm down, Lord Feichen. Don't be tempted by her. Judging from the body, she did commit suicide. "

"The key suicide place is a little strange." Sharon stood in front of the steps, looked up at the top, "put a rope around his neck, jumped down from the roof window and landed right above the gate."

"Not only that, if the body is hung on the door for two or three weeks, why don't the nuns in the monastery take the body down and bury it?" Berman murmured, "but if it's just hung up, what's their purpose?"

"Just go in and ask."

With that, Sharon stepped up the steps. Irene quickly caught up with Sharon, grabbed Sharon and whispered, "all the monks in St. cata monastery are women. Men are not allowed to enter. Even if the situation is urgent, the consent of the president must be obtained. "

Sharon was a little impatient and said, "what's the situation now? There's still time to find Dean Lao Shizi."

Irene whispered, "I'll go first, report to the Dean, and then take you in."

Sharon frowned and said, "now the situation inside is unknown. What if you go in alone and encounter danger?"

"But it's sister Irene's duty," Burke came up and said, "that's why the former Pope asked sister Irene to come."

"It doesn't matter. As a giver of God, this secular rule can control others, but it can't control me."

Sharon put her arm around Irene and pushed open the closed monastery door. Although Irene was a little cramped, she was hugged by Sharon and couldn't resist at all, but she didn't want to resist. She just looked at Burke apologetically and walked into the monastery with Sharon.

Burke just wanted to stop it, but on second thought, less is better than more. Anyway, even if someone is angry, he should aim at Sharon. He only needs to complete the task assigned by his Majesty the former Pope.

Looking at the dark monastery behind the gate, Burke shivered in his heart. Subconsciously, he wrapped his collar tightly and stepped back down the steps.

The monastery has been built for a long time. Although it has been expanded and repaired for many times, the main building is still made of stones. Although this building built of boulders can withstand the wind and heat for many years, it has one defect: narrow windows and dim light.

The light in the monastery hall is even worse. It's still afternoon outside, but the hall is dark. Although it's not black, it's a little vague.

Sharon wanted to take out a flashlight, but Irene stopped it. She took out a box of matches and a candle from the stone wall behind the gate, lit it, and walked to Sharon with the candle.

Looking at the candle in Irene's hand, Sharon couldn't help laughing: "you're familiar with here."

Irene smiled softly, "the style of this ancient monastery is similar. In order to facilitate lighting, lighting objects will be prepared behind the door."

Sharon curled his lips: "it's really troublesome. It's convenient to get on the light directly."

"Shh."

Irene made a silent gesture and took the lead in walking forward with a candle.

The hall is also spacious. By candlelight, you can see six stone chairs on both sides and a stone chair at the end of the hall. But for some reason, the back of the seven stone chairs rushed out, and the seat was facing the stone wall. If someone sat on the stone chair, Sharon would never see each other.

"This is the rule of St. cata monastery. Nuns practicing here are not allowed to meet outsiders for life as long as they enter the monastery."

Irene was explaining to Sharon when an old woman's voice came from the stone chair at the end: "who are you? Dare to break into here."

Irene was startled and just wanted to kneel down to reply. Sharon grabbed her and asked impolitely, "who are you?"

Irene whispered, "only the abbot of the monastery is qualified to sit in that position."

Sure enough, the woman replied, "I'm the current abbot of St. cata."

Irene knelt down according to the rules of the church and said, "Dean, I'm intern sister Irene. On the order of the Holy See, I came here to expel evil spirits."

"Evil?" The dean's tone changed slightly, "has it come back after so many years?"

Irene nodded, "it's on the carriage outside the door."

The Dean sighed: "since it's the order of the Holy See, you can do whatever you want. It's just that the nuns in this monastery are not allowed to see outsiders, so we can't help you. "

Sharon suddenly said, "Your Excellency, there is a dead man hanging from the gate of your monastery. According to the costume style, it should be the nun in your yard. Do you know that?"

"... I don't know."

"The man jumped from the attic on the roof and hung at the gate. It seems that he has been dead for two or three weeks. As the Dean, you don't know?"

"There are not many women in the monastery. They devote themselves to prayer on weekdays. They don't disturb each other. I don't call the roll, so I don't know."

"I see," Sharon smiled. "In that case, if the Dean dies, no one should know?"

Irene looked up at Sharon and motioned him to say less. But when she looked up, she saw a dark figure standing up from the stone chair and silently walking towards the back of the hall. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the darkness.

"Aunt Dean..."

Irene just wanted to catch up with her. Sharon grabbed her, shook her head and said, "look carefully. That man is not the dean."

"But... She was sitting there talking to us just now."

"Those who sit there and talk may not be true." Sharon took out the flashlight, turned it on and walked around behind the stone chair.

After walking around, Irene found a woman wearing a black nun robe and a black veil sitting on the stone chair. Since there is someone on the stone chair, who is the person who left the stone chair just now?

"Aunt Dean..."

Irene tried to shout. The nun on the stone chair didn't respond and didn't move.

Sharon pulled Irene behind her and said in a deep voice, "stop shouting. As I just said, she's dead... She's dead long ago."
