MMB Chapter 198 It was a plane that took me, not me.
Chapter 198 It was a plane that took me, not me.
"This debt will be repaid with interest sooner or later!"
As the words fell silent, a brief silence descended upon the secret room.
Time passed slowly, until nearly twenty minutes had gone by, and then there was absolutely no sound outside.
Domingo then pushed open the stone door of the secret passage and poked half of his body out.
A cool breeze blew in, carrying with it the smell of burnt food and blood.
"Walk."
He hesitated for a moment, then took the lead and walked out of the secret room.
The five people filed out and followed the secret passage to the side door of the cathedral.
The moment the group pushed open the door and entered, everyone stopped in their tracks.
Everywhere you look, there is a scene of utter devastation.
The bench was mostly broken, the holy water pool was smashed to pieces, the murals were blackened by the flames, and there was a large hole in the dome. Moonlight shone through the hole and fell directly on the cross on the altar.
"What a pity."
Looking at the dilapidated scene before him, Andreas couldn't help but feel regret.
"People and buildings can be rebuilt, but it's meaningless."
Domingo didn't waste any time on the wreckage and headed straight for the entrance to the secret passage behind the altar.
"Let's go down underground and check the situation first, that's the right thing to do..."
"So, what are you trying to confirm?"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
The sound was not loud, and even a little lazy.
But in this empty hall, it was so clear it sounded like it was being whispered in someone's ear.
The five people who were about to head to the secret passage froze simultaneously, as if they had been frozen in place.
Then, they all instinctively turned their heads in unison.
The next moment, they saw a young man leaning against the door frame at the main entrance of the church, arms crossed and head tilted as he looked at them.
The moonlight shone on that face, allowing them to see clearly the somewhat nonchalant expression on it.
Lin Fan.
It was actually Lin Fan...
"you……"
Domingo immediately realized what was happening, his pupils shrinking sharply. "Didn't you already leave?!"
"Yes, I did leave." Lin Fan nodded, his attitude very sincere.
"Then why are you still here?!"
"Because it's an airplane that's leaving, not me."
"..."
Is this even human language?
The five cardinals looked at each other in bewilderment.
"you……"
Andreas suppressed his shock, his voice hoarse, "You stayed behind alone?"
"right."
Why?
Lin Fan did not answer immediately. Instead, he straightened up from the door frame, slowly walked into the hall, and headed towards the group.
His footsteps echoed through the empty church.
Each step he took landed on gravel and broken armor, making a crunching sound.
"I did intend to leave at first."
Lin Fan spoke as he walked.
"But I have a problem: if I don't understand something, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."
He said this in a very casual tone, as if he were chatting with a friend.
But the five people on the other side were all incredibly nervous.
Domingo's brain was working at lightning speed.
A person.
There was only one person on the other side.
Without Lin Jianguo, there would be no Dark Night people.
Although they are equally troublesome, they are not without ways to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Domingo spoke:
"young people."
"Don't you think it's too risky for you to stay here alone?"
Lin Fan stopped, about ten meters away from the five people.
He tilted his head and gave a genuine smile.
"adventure?"
"Why don't I feel like anyone here could threaten me?"
"Arrogant..."
The young bishop among the five couldn't help but make a move first upon hearing Lin Fan's words.
He suddenly raised his hand towards Lin Fan, and a beam of holy light condensed from his palm.
however……
As soon as the light appeared, an eyeball materialized out of thin air in front of him, and the charred corpses around him instantly merged into a monster resembling a mountain of flesh.
In just a moment, countless bloodshot eyes opened and stared at him silently.
This sudden turn of events froze the young bishop's attack in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, his mouth opened, and he let out a suppressed scream, then he covered his head with his hands and squatted on the ground.
"I still advise you all not to make any rash moves."
Lin Fan kindly reminded him,
"After all, my little brother doesn't have a very good temper!"
The remaining four cardinals, though they did not see what the young bishop had witnessed, also felt a deep sense of malice, and their expressions changed instantly.
Domingo gave Lin Fan a deep look.
He thought of the black vortex that blotted out the sky that he had seen when he was escaping, and of the indescribable black phantom that had suddenly descended.
That thing... is on this young man.
Thinking of all this, he dared not act rashly, his face darkening.
"What exactly do you want?"
Lin Fan smiled.
"Didn't I just say... there are some things I don't understand that keep me awake at night?"
He looked toward the hidden entrance to the secret passage behind the altar.
"I wonder if you could show me what's down there?"
……
at the same time.
Inside the cargo hold of the Night Organization's transport plane, the low hum of the engine continued incessantly.
Lin Jianguo walked from the rear cabin to the front cabin and scanned the area.
Levi sat in the corner tending to his wound.
Night Owl crouched opposite him, wiping his knife.
Paul VI was bound hand and foot and thrown into a pile of goods.
The rest of the night crew were either resting or working.
He didn't see Lin Fan at all.
"Huh? Where's Lin Fan?" Lin Jianguo asked, puzzled.
Levi's hand paused for a moment.
Night Owl paused for a beat while wiping his knife.
The two looked up almost simultaneously, then looked away at the same time.
Noticing their reactions, Lin Jianguo had a bad feeling.
"I'm asking you a question. Where is Lin Fan?"
Seeing his reaction, Levi knew he couldn't avoid it, so he could only grit his teeth and carefully choose his words.
"Um... Mr. Lin..."
"explain."
"Young Master Lin... didn't board the plane."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire cabin fell silent for two seconds.
However, this was immediately followed by Lin Jianguo's angry voice.
"What?"
"Lin, Young Master Lin didn't board the plane. He told me this before he boarded."
Levi continued, forcing himself to speak.
He said he had something to do and told us to go ahead, and specifically instructed us... not to tell you.
"Don't tell me?" Lin Jianguo took a deep breath. "Fine, you've grown wings, huh?"
He turned and walked toward the cockpit.
"Turn around! Go back!"
"Mr. Lin!" Levi quickly stepped in to stop him. "Young Master Lin said something else..."
"What did you say?"
He said... having too many people would affect his performance.
Will it affect performance?
What kind of nonsense is this?
Lin Jianguo stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head, his expression shifting between anger and some indescribable emotion.
"This little brat...does he think I'm a burden?"
Seeing Lin Jianguo's furious expression, Levi and Night Owl exchanged a glance, neither daring to say anything, and both looked away...
After a while,
Lin Jianguo glanced at the two of them, but didn't say anything. He plopped down on the supply box and remained silent.
Although Lin Fan's actions were somewhat reckless, he also knew that if Lin Fan really wanted to cause trouble, their group would just be a burden if they stayed there...
only……
His concern wasn't Lin Fan's safety, but rather how he would explain things to his wife when he got back...
