Slowly, the black shadow peeled off from the wall, standing strangely in the air.

During the whole process, Bi Qigu watched helplessly, the black shadow moved at a uniform speed neither slow nor fast.

But then, the black figure suddenly rushed towards Biqigu, and the pitch-black face suddenly solidified and took shape, turning into the face of a ferocious monster. At some point, a black nun's robe was put on his body.

The monster threw the flustered Hikigu on the ground, and the smell of stench, rot and sulfur came to his face. It howled madly and painfully at Hikigu:

"Do not--"

……

"what!"

Hikigu sat up abruptly, his face full of panic.

He immediately opened the drawer and took out the pistol, opened the safety and loaded it, curled up his legs, and raised the gun hastily to look around.

Nothing, business as usual.

"Is...is it a dream?"

Biqigu's M1911 was gradually put down.

"It's just a nightmare..."

However, such a clear dream, Bi Qigu can even recall every detail in it.

Bi Qigu heaved a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat off his forehead indiscriminately, only to realize that the back of his pajamas was soaked.

Putting the pistol back in the drawer, closing the drawer again, Bi Qigu propped his hands on the bed, took a rest for a while, and continued to sleep.

Go to sleep, it's okay...

As soon as he lay down on the pillow, Hikigu seemed to be lying on a red-hot iron, sitting up and jumping up on fire, looking at his pillow in amazement, his face turned blue and pale for a while.

The exquisite silver cross lay quietly on the pillow, shrouded in a faint silvery white brilliance, the relief on the surface vaguely resembles a vague angel pattern, imprisoned on the cross, there is a groove on the top of the cross, but what is in the groove? nor.

It's the one from before!But I didn't pick it up at all!

Hikigu got goosebumps all over his body, he got out of bed in a panic, and didn't find slippers to put on his bare feet, his eyes flickered, he took out his gun and looked around suspiciously.

Why are you sleeping here? I'm afraid that "something" has come in at home.

Suspicious for a long time, Bi Qigu didn't find any "things" appearing, only the silver cross, staying motionless on the pillow.

Hikigaya picked up the watch from the table, but there was no light on it, which meant that there was nothing weird around here.

Seeing that it was dawn outside the window, he gritted his teeth and made a bold decision.

Hikigu put on the silver-gray windbreaker, picked up the cross and put it in the inner pocket, put the watch on his left hand, and stuffed his right hand, which was holding on to the M911, into the big right pocket, and walked out of the house like this.

I didn't dare to take a car, but just walked all the way in a low-key manner, turning to the main road with a lot of people.

Along the way, did Hikigu pull out his wrist to look at Patek Philippe to see if it responded. The other hand in his pocket was already soaked in sweat, and he was ready to shoot at any time.

Finally, he came to a familiar place. Next to the vermilion gate was the signboard of the Jiying Team.

Hikigu never thought that one day seeing the lair of the Yakuza organization would make him feel so kind and at ease.

Ah, I finally, finally got to the place.

Thinking of the trembling and anxiety along the way, he almost cried.

It was him who touched his inner pocket, and Hikigu raised his left hand to ring the doorbell.

"I'm coming."

It was an unknown fat man who opened the door.

Bi Qigu's gloomy eyes narrowed, and his heart sank.

Chapter No.16 This is common sense, Mr. Bi Qigu (Gageng)

If it wasn't for the relevant professionals, Bi Qigu didn't know how to speak about this matter.

"You are Hikigaya Hachiman, right?"

"It's really young, this is, youth!"

The fat man narrowed his eyes and smiled, his wrinkled flesh turned into dimples, and the aura on his body made Hikigu Hachiman wonder where he had seen it before.

"I'm Qiu Mingwen, the branch of the association in Chiba County, an official agent."

Qiu Mingwen's words dispelled Hikigu's doubts that had just arisen.

"Hello Senior Qiu Ming, I'm here to report something."

"Don't worry, we know you have something to say."

Qiu Mingwen seemed to be expecting it, and stepped aside, "Come in and talk about it."

"you know?"

Hikigu followed Qiu Mingwen into the yard in confusion, came to the bridge, and went through the previous process again, and came to the underground association.

After the fingerprint authentication, Hikigu and Qiu Mingwen walked in, walked through the huge playground, and they came to a white building.

"This is where we work." Qiu Mingwen pushed open the door and came in. There were many people sitting inside looking up information on the computer.

Yang Nao and Ai Li, who had already met, were sitting in the innermost part, with their own separate offices with translucent glass.

It seemed that he saw Hikigu's eyes, Qiu Mingwen said.

"The detectives have their own separate offices, and the civilian staff work together to facilitate the exchange of information and intelligence."

"No, your office has been vacated, over there."

Where Qiu Mingwen pointed his finger at, there was also a small room with translucent glass, and the desk inside could be seen.

Yang Nai raised his head and saw Hikigu coming, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, walked out from inside, and waved to Hikigu.

"The captain asked us to go to her office."

Qiu Mingwen patted Hikigu on the shoulder, and the two walked to Yang Nai's office.

Only when Hikigu came in did he notice that Kasumigaoka was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Why are you here?"

"Today is Sunday, no school." Kasumigaoka rolled his eyes, "That's why I came to work."

"Ah, are you still going to work?"

Xia Zhiqiu glanced at Hikigu, too lazy to speak.

"In order not to make people suspicious, if the employees of the association are still in school, they usually still go to school, but they must come to work when they are not in school. During this period, you will receive a few days' salary for the few days you work. studies, and then fully enter the workforce.”

Yang Nai spread his hands, "But it seems that Xia Zhiqiu's awareness of going to work is much higher than yours."

"It's a coincidence that today is Sunday, and the association stipulates that you have a Sunday off every two weeks. It just so happens that you go to work this Sunday and rest next Sunday. Otherwise, you two will be in vain when you come here."

Yang Nai turned the seat and leaned against the leather, looking like a domineering president, "Tell me, did something happen to you?"

Under Yang Nao's gesture, Hikigu sat down on the chair directly opposite Yang Nao, and took a deep breath.

"Yes, I do have something to report, but you seem to know."

"Yeah, we don't know what's going to happen to you, but we know what's going to happen to you."

"You are a person who has experienced things first-hand. You have witnessed the weirdness with your own eyes, and you have also experienced enlightenment. You will involuntarily attract some weird things, or have some related dreams."

"Ellie's ability is a fortune-teller, and her fortune-telling results tell us that the key to solving this matter is you, Hikigu Hachiman."

Yang Nai unconsciously tapped on the table with his index finger, with a serious expression on his face.

"So, I know you will come, and you won't keep us waiting too long."

"Yes, I did come." Only then did Hikigu realize something, "I met this."

Hikigaya took out the exquisite silver cross from his pocket and put it on the table.

"This is……"

Yang Nai's face suddenly changed.

"You speak first."

"Well... well, the thing is like this..."

Hikigu explained that weird dream and the incident of the cross in as much detail as possible, slowly pondering over his own words, for fear that he would make a mistake or omit any detail, which would cause him to encounter unnecessary danger.

Yang Nai fell into silence, and Qiu Mingwen also fell into silence. In the whole office, there was only the sound of Yang Nai's fingers tapping on the desk unconsciously, bang, bang, bang, every hit hit the heart.

"There is too little information, and I don't know what it means." Yang Nai shook his head, "I can only say that having this dream doesn't mean that something unclean is entangled with you."

"In the weird world, there is such a thing as dream interpretation. Some dreams do have meaning, and some strange things can also be explained."

"This is because when you see the nun, you have a certain connection with her, and from then on you have a certain mutual attraction force, even if it is small, but as you become enlightened and powerful. , and this attraction will only increase.”

"For example, if you are strong enough now, you may bump into the ghost nun if you go out casually—if she is still in this city."

"But now, it is a surprise to be able to have some revelatory dreams. The specific reasons for dreaming will be taught to you later. You just need to know that this dream is very important to the current situation."

Yang Nai picked up the cross and observed it carefully.

"And this cross, if I'm not mistaken, there used to be a strong spiritual reaction on it, but now the reaction has been very weak."

Yang refers to the groove at the top of the cross.

"I suspect that something was embedded in this groove."

"So, anyway, this cross is telling me something, right?"

Hikigu picked up the cross and thought about it.

"good."

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of."

"real?"

"Well, since it's something you can't avoid, you have to face it."

"Face it, and then, get rid of it, so that it can be done once and for all."

Yang Nai raised his head and looked at Bi Qigu in surprise.

This is not the cowardly Biqigu in her first impression.

Qiu Mingwen slammed his fist into the palm of his hand and suggested, "Maybe we should ask the church, the nuns and the cross. The point is already obvious. We should ask the Roman Orthodox Church. Maybe they can know something."

"I think so too. In fact, since I knew that thing was a ghost nun, I have already called the church in Chiba City to inquire about it. They said to check, but they haven't replied to me yet."

"The captain is wise." Qiu Mingwen flattered Yang Nai.

Yang Nai rolled his eyes, with a charming look, "The biggest contributor to this matter is Bi Qigu, what's the use of you flattering me."

Qiu Mingwen rubbed his hands and laughed.

Hikigu finally knew where the sense of familiarity came from, this Qiu Mingwen looked like an otaku type.

"Captain." Just as he was speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit came over and knocked on the door, his face was as serious as a hard stone.

"Please come in."

The middle-aged man got permission, and then walked in, "Captain, there are people outside, sent by the church headquarters, the Thirteenth Knights of the Roman Orthodox Church."

"The Thirteen Knights!" Yang Nai frowned, "The famous Knights came all the way from the Vatican. Could it be because of that ghost nun?"

Qiu Mingwen was worried, "If this is the case, it will be in big trouble."

"Let's go see you first."

Yang Nai pursed his lips and left without saying a word.

Akina Fumi and the man in the suit followed closely behind, leaving Hikigu and Kasumigaoka alone in the office.

"The Roman Orthodox Church..." Hikigu blinked, "Didn't it mean that the association is the only official organization?"

"Roman Orthodox Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Puritanism...the combined Christian power of these churches is just a little bit worse than the world's official association since ancient times."

Kasumigaoka, who was sitting on the sofa, closed the book and explained:

"In fact, for a long period of time in history, in some places in Europe, churches and associations existed as officials at the same time."

"Thus, although the church nominally recognizes the association's official status and leading position, the association cannot define the church as an illegal organization, and even often actively seeks cooperation."
