New Gods of North America

According to Tom Hagen's blind guess, Reverend Pycelle is currently more likely to be a remnant of the "Church of Light".

Judging from the fact that the cathedral personally assigned the task, Bishop Corleone seemed to care about the Church of Light.

Of course, things that leaders assign to you individually cannot be leaked or transferred at will.

But other jobs are fine.

Wayne just wanted to shrink the front line a bit recently, and try to clarify the situation of the manor first, so as not to cure the problem and cause people to "misunderstanding" him all the time.

So he outsourced the tail of Cohen Pharmaceuticals:

“You also know that Malcolm Baker, he had a long-time attorney in Richmond who many people called Mr. Weissman.

"Although we don't have any definite evidence yet, there are signs that he may have an unknown relationship with the Church of Light."

Wayne felt that what he said could not be considered a lie.

Reverend Pycelle is currently suspected to be associated with the Church of Light, and Mr. Weissman is the custodian of Reverend Pycelle's will.

To round it off, it is indeed "possible" that he has a connection with the Church of Light.

In fact, it was mainly because according to the confession of the prisoners and Mr. Weissman's "self-explosion\

,"He was able to help Mr. Baker find so many bounty hunters to attack the detective agency, and he also had a potion that could make Beyonders lose control. Now, at the very least, he was a dishonest "gangster lawyer".

Wayne currently doesn't have the time to go to Richmond to take care of him all day, and if he leaves him alone he might cause trouble again, so he might as well sell him to Reverend Tyrell.

Anyway, the clue of the manor was provided to Wayne by Mr. Weissman. Now he provided his information to Reverend Tyrell whom Wayne had seen in the manor.

It can be said that it is the law of karma, the original soup turns into the original food.

Reverend Tyrell got an interesting clue and promised to give Wayne what he deserved.

Then the walk soon lost its meaning and he would go home.

On the way, Reverend Tyrell mentioned Luke Matthew again, expressing his interest in the young man.

Wayne did not comment on this, only saying that he was helping Ian Fisk take care of the fraternity members for his sake.

…

After seeing off Reverend Tyrell, Wayne called a few people and followed him out the door.

The "large army" seen in the manor before should mainly be the guards of Priest Tyrell. Now, as long as he doesn't go towards the manor, there should not be many people in the manor.

Considering that the manor is related to the church after all, the detective agency still tried its best to arrange the main force.

Being discovered is not a good thing, but the more important thing is to avoid being "recognized" and "left behind".

Lina has taken people to figure out the rules of the manor in the past two days.

Coming back to the detective agency for dinner tonight means we can take action at any time.

There weren't many servants in the manor, but they were generally very vigilant. These servants basically lived in the "servants' quarters" of the manor. It seemed that apart from buying daily necessities, they rarely went out.

The maids looked more like ordinary people, while the butler and the butlers looked even more capable. If someone told Wayne now that they were members of the Exorcist Association, Wayne would probably be willing to believe it.

But no matter what, no matter how small the manor is, it is still a "manor", and the luxurious main house is even more spacious.

With the servants still having to take turns, there were only three or four kittens patrolling the main house at night. A simple walk took at least minutes, and it was as quiet as a haunted house.

For professionals, it is not very difficult to sneak in.

Inissa did not advocate such sneaking behavior, but the two attackers were found in the manor.

The hunter was more reasonable in this regard, "If the pirates can go there, I can go there too", so she was dragged onto the pirate ship.

Places related to the church are different from "dens of thieves". At least it is not recommended to shoot or use force once discovered.

Doug stood sentry outside, and Liam went in from the other end and found a suitable position to wait, making noises to attract the other party's attention if necessary.

Then Wayne and Inissa followed Teacher Lina to take a stealth practice class.

The approximate floor plan of the main house has been shared in advance, and the most suspicious place at present is probably the "basement".

With the practical experience of Teacher Lina and some modern knowledge supplemented by Wayne, the detective agency's business potential in this area is now estimated to be "industry-leading".

After the servant with the lantern walked a little further away, he quietly opened the window from the outside, and Peter the spider crawled in first to explore the way.

After Lina climbed in and felt safe, she called Wayne and Inissa to follow.

Wayne was wearing a mask on his face and gloves on his hands. After entering the house, he put on leather shoe covers and had a small promotional card of Cohen Pharmaceuticals on him.

Although he carried a revolver, it was mainly for emergency purposes and he would not use it unless it was an emergency.

With the constraints of the Exorcist Association on her, Inissa's current state is not suitable for such a "close combat infiltration" operation.

However, tonight's operation may involve things from the Exorcist Association. Inessa is more experienced in this area and may be able to help resolve special alarms as soon as possible.

"Bright, smokeless and odorless lighting" was still a relatively expensive thing in this era, and there were also hidden dangers such as fire. At night, only some of the corridor walls of the manor house were lit, and it did not look as magnificent as during the day.

Wayne actually prefers this place to be completely dark, so that he can rely on the simple lines to move around, which makes him feel safer.

Sneaking along the way, avoiding the intermittent light, the three of them quickly found their way to the entrance of the basement according to the floor plan of the manor house in their memory.

If you take the "right path", this place is actually not far from the main gate of the manor, it is located in the hall after entering the main gate.

After entering many mansions, you can see a Y-shaped staircase at the other end of the hall. The staircase in this main house has a slight design, with an extra horizontal line on the Y-shape. Wayne felt it was a bit like the "Ankh" symbol he had seen in card games, representing the resurrection of the dead.

But the basement is quite deep. The area right below the stairs looks like a "bridge hole". Large decorative paintings are hung on the dark walls.

The "double door with extraordinary power" that Liam mentioned before is hidden behind the decorative painting.

If you come here during the day, there are always servants guarding the hall, and the action of "lifting up the decorative painting" can be easily noticed.

The situation is slightly better at night, but if there is someone in the corridors on both sides, they can still see at a glance whether there is anyone in the "bridge arch" under the stairs.

After waiting for a while, a servant was making his rounds.

Lifting up the decorative painting, there is a door behind it. After opening the door, one is greeted by an illusory "burning feeling", followed by a second door that is obviously locked and reinforced.

Wayne and Lina both shrank their necks reflexively, and Inesa quickly came to the conclusion.

"This is the breath of 'sacred'..."

The place where the priests gather for dinner has the aura of a "holy" realm. This is not strange. Liam thinks there is something wrong here, but it is something that sounds problematic.

But since they were already here, they would have to wait until they got back to criticize that guy for "lying about military intelligence". Inissa and Lina roughly checked the reinforced door engraved with the holy emblem and felt that there was no big problem, so they started to pick the lock.

The door was opened, and the spider went in, confirmed that there was no anti-lock mechanism, and nailed a thin rope behind the decorative painting.

After all three of them entered the reinforced door, they gently pulled the thin rope inwards, and finally the decorative painting was restored to its original position just before a servant was about to walk back into the corridor.
