The time goes back to around nine o'clock in the evening on the third day of the mission.

Fan Ren called Fatty Wang half an hour ago.

After an extremely long wait, Fan Ren finally waited until Father Peter left.

The other party actually played the organ for a whole afternoon without any rest.

As for why he waited so long, it was because after observation, Fan Ren discovered that the entrance to the corridor of the bell tower was next to the place where the pipe organ was placed.

No matter how selflessly Father Peter plays, it's hard not to be noticed if someone just walks by him.

Fan Ren didn't dare to gamble, so he could only wait quietly, like a poisonous snake eyeing its prey, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Listening to the other party's footsteps getting further and further away.

Fan Ren, who was hiding in the dark, came out.

The door of the church was also slowly closed from the outside.

Walk to the entrance of the corridor and turn on the flashlight function of your phone.

He began to enter the corridor and headed towards his destination.

Fan Ren knew that he had to hurry up, otherwise Fatty Wang would die.

I don't know if it was because it was in disrepair and no one maintained it, but the wooden stairs made a creaking sound when stepped on.

Leather shoes left footprints in the thick dust on the stairs.

Indeed, as Father Peter said, this place was abandoned a long time ago.

So where did the church bells heard earlier come from?

The possibility that the clock tower holds secrets is becoming more and more likely.

Moreover, Fan Ren actually saw some scenes when he shook hands with Sister Jessica.

The old attic, the bare feet hanging in the air, the dusty floor.

These scenes seem to be somewhat consistent with the scene shown in the bell tower corridor, and this is the only place in such a large church that is covered with dust.

With his psychic physique, only when he comes into contact with a dead person can he see some of the last memories of the other person's life.

That is to say,

Sister Jessica is long dead.

But the other party is still playing with his beautiful body, even moving in the sun, how creepy.

The most important thing is that when Sister Jessica said how long she had been here, she actually said she had only been here three months.

You know, Fan Ren specifically asked Father Peter how long it would take for him to be able to speak Mandarin normally, and the answer he gave was more than a year, and it was only barely smooth.

However, it only took Sister Peter three months to speak fluently, like a native speaker.

Is this possible?

You must know that even in the right context, it takes a lot of time and energy to learn a language other than your own mother tongue.

Even if you are busy with church activities during the day and take time to study at night, you cannot reach that point in three months without any accent at all.

A huge contradiction arises here.

There are only two possibilities to explain it.

one,

Before Sister Jessica came to Dongguan Cathedral, she had studied Mandarin specifically for a long time and had someone to practice with her.

two,

The other party lied. She has been here for a long time. It is more likely that her identity is not a nun from Dongguan Cathedral at all. That's why Fan Ren asked Kira Yoshikage to go to the police station to find information on relevant personnel.

As for why Father Peter didn't expose her, it's probably because the priest's memory was modified by a special being, or he deliberately concealed it. After all, dead people can move freely under the sun, so what does it mean to modify the memory?

What would be the starting point that prompted Sister Jessica to learn another obscure language, or lie and pretend to be a nun?

No matter what the possibility is, this walking dead Sister Jessica must have something to do with the hidden truth.

But she will definitely not be a ghost murderer who madly kills church personnel.

Because if the cursed land is really set up like this, it would be too embarrassing for the difficulty of this mission.

After all, it is hard not to make people suspicious of Jessica who dares to stay in a church where nuns are constantly committing suicide.

That's why Fan Ren was so sure that the other party could not be the real culprit behind the series of events, but there must be some connection with the real culprit.

At this moment, Fan Ren has reached the middle level of the stairs. The spiral wooden staircase is very long and leads directly to the attic of the bell tower.

As he arrived, the wind blew up ashes.

Under the illumination of the light, the dust danced randomly, as if the spirit that had been dormant for a long time had awakened and was welcoming his arrival.

"Ahem..." Fan Ren covered his mouth and nose with his hands to prevent dust from entering his body.

Then he pulled off the white spider web that was accidentally stuck on his head.

This place has been deserted for at least half a year or more.

Fan Ren, who suffered from mysophobia, had a deep zodiac sign between his eyebrows.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought a mask.

Complaining is complaining, but his footsteps have no intention of stopping.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The tooth-aching sound irritated the eardrums.

Fan Ren had relaxed his steps as much as possible, but the voice still sounded.

There are no windows for ventilation in the corridor, and in the dark environment, there is only the dim light emitted by the mobile phone.

The dust and the smell of old decay made him breathless.

If someone with claustrophobia stayed here for a minute, they would probably faint.

Fan Ren used his mobile phone to look up, trying to see how far he still had to go.

The cold darkness swallowed up the faint light, and the visibility above was basically zero.

Accompanied by the constant sound of trampling on the stairs and facing countless stairs, he continued to walk up quickly, like a jingwei who worked tirelessly to fill the sea, or like Sisyphus who had offended the gods and was punished by pushing the stone forever.

The screen of the mobile phone was lit up, and the time had reached nine seventeen.

Before I knew it, nearly twenty minutes had passed.

Fan Ren also stopped at this time because he reached the end of the stairs and saw a door.

A wooden door painted with a cross pattern.

The door was ajar and unlocked.

A sliver of light emerged from the crack in the door.

This gave Fan Ren, who had been staying in the dark corridor, the illusion that he had finally seen the light.

Fan Ren looked at the wooden door and slowly moved closer, subconsciously wanting to reach out and push the door open to see the scene hidden behind it.

When the fingertips were only one centimeter away from the wooden door,

But he suddenly stopped his hand.

Starting from the fingers close to the door, a chill spread throughout the body.

Although he didn't see anything scary at all, Fan Ren's body was trembling involuntarily, and goosebumps began to spread all over his body.

His body's instincts were constantly warning him not to move forward and approach the wooden door.

What's behind the door isn't as safe as it appears.

To push or not to push?

Fan Ren hesitated and thought for a few seconds.

The finger finally landed on the wooden door, and then pushed open the door that might hide the secret truth.

Feeling the warmth from your fingers, there is also a slight chill.

A babbling sound.

The door opened.

This is a semi-open loft.

The outermost part that can be seen hangs a bronze alarm bell that is as tall as a person. There are mottled and rust-like traces on the surface, and it looks like a pear with the bottom flattened.

The part hidden behind the alarm bell is a small attic, about ten square meters.

White cobwebs and gray dust covered the corners of the walls and the floor.

The strange and unpleasant smell of rot and mold spread throughout the attic.
