Under the command of Fei Chen, the four priests finally took down the corpse and laid it flat on the ground. Burke held his handkerchief over his nose and mouth, and squatted down to examine the corpse carefully, while Beman walked up to Francie and said coldly: "Your business is over, it's time to go back. Remember, what you saw today You can't say a word about it, otherwise...you will never see the Lord again."

Francie was frightened by the corpse, and he didn't want to stay here anymore. Hearing what Beman said, he nodded in a panic, and stopped the carriage carrying the supplies. He just rode on a horse. Fleeing quickly.

After dismissing the obtrusive person, Beman turned around, 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, Fei Chen said anxiously, "Impossible, suicide is a big crime, how could such a pious nun be so vicious."

He suddenly turned his head to look at the iron cage, and said angrily: "Maybe it's the devil again?"

In the iron cage shrouded in black cloth, Amanda's sneer came out: "Fei Chen, you use your infrequent brain and think about it. I was in the United States two or three weeks ago."

Fei Chen said angrily: "You devil, insidious and cunning, you can't make it by any means."

Amanda disdainfully said: "Then tell me, what is my purpose of doing this? What benefits can I get?"

Fei Chen's expression was stagnant, and his mouth opened, unable to speak.

Burke waved his hand and said, "Calm down, Lord Feichen, don't fall into her aggressive approach. Judging from the condition of the body, she did commit suicide."

"The key suicide place is a bit weird." Xie Lun stood in front of the steps and looked up at the top. "With a rope around his neck, he jumped from the roof window and landed right above the gate."

"Not only that, if the corpse is really hung on the gate for two or three weeks, why don't the nuns in the monastery take the corpse down and bury it?" Beman said in a deep voice, "But if it was just hung up. , Then what is their purpose for doing this?"

"Go in and ask if you don't know."

With that said, Xie Lun stepped up the steps, Irene hurried to catch up, grabbed Xie Lun, and said in a low voice: "All the people practicing in the Santa Cata Monastery are women, and men are not allowed to enter. Even if the situation is urgent, you must get The dean agrees."

Xie Lun said a little impatiently: "What's the situation now, there is still free time to find the Dean of Rao Shizi."

Irene whispered: "I'll go in first, and after reporting to the dean, I will take you in again."

Xie Lun frowned and said: "Now the situation inside is unknown, you go in alone, what should you do if you are in danger?"

"But this is the duty of Sister Irene," Burke stepped up and said, "His Majesty the former Pope asked Sister Irene to come because of this."

"It's okay, as a god-given person, this worldly rule can control others, but it can't control me."

Xie Lun stretched his arm around Irene and pushed open the gate of the confined monastery. Although Irene was a little cramped, she was hugged by Xie Lun and was unable to resist, but she didn't want to resist. She just glanced at Burke apologetically, and followed Xie Lun into the monastery.

Burke just wanted to stop it, but after another thought, one thing more is better than one thing less. Anyway, even if someone is angry, it should be directed at Xie Lun. He only needs to complete the task assigned by the former Pope.

Looking at the black hole in the monastery behind the gate, Burke shuddered in his heart for some reason, and he subconsciously wrapped his collar tightly, and quickly stepped back down the steps.

This monastery was built for a long time. Although it has been expanded and repaired many times since then, the main building is still made of piles of stones. Although this kind of building built of huge stones can withstand the wind and heat for many years, it has a flaw, that is, the windows are small and the light is dim.

In the monastery hall, the light was even worse. It was still in the afternoon outside, but the hall was dark. Although it was not black, it was a little blurry.

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. After lighting, she held the candle and walked to Xie Lun's side.

Looking at the candle in Irene's hand, Xie Lun couldn't help laughing: "You are familiar with this place."

Irene chuckled softly: "The styles of this ancient monastery are all the same. For the convenience of lighting, things are prepared for lighting behind the door."

Xie Lun curled his lips: "It's really troublesome, it's so convenient to turn on the light directly."

"Shhh."

Irene made a silent gesture, holding the candle and walking forward first.

The hall is also spacious. By candlelight, you can see six stone chairs on each side, and a stone chair at the end of the hall. It's just that the seven stone chairs have no reason why they all have their backs flushed out, and the seats face the stone wall. If someone sits on a stone chair, Xie Lun will never see each other.

"This is the rule of the Santa Cata Monastery. The nuns who practice here are not allowed to meet with outsiders as long as they enter the monastery."

Irene was explaining to Xie Lun when suddenly an old and low voice came from the stone chair at the end: "Who are you, dare to break in here."

Irene was taken aback, and just about to kneel down to reply, Xie Lun grabbed her and asked unceremoniously, "Who are you again?"

Irene whispered: "In that position, only the dean of the monastery is qualified to sit."

Sure enough, the woman replied: "The old man is the current dean of Santa Cata Monastery."

Irene knelt down in accordance with the rules of the church, and said: "The dean, I am the apprentice nun Irene. I am here on the order of the Holy See to get rid of the evil spirits."

"Evil?" The dean's tone changed slightly, "After all these years, has it come back?"

Irene nodded and said, "It's on the carriage outside the door."

The dean sighed for a long time: "Since it is an order of the Holy See, then you are free. It is just that the nuns in this monastery are not allowed to see outsiders, so we can't help you."

Xie Lun suddenly said: "Master dean, there is a Deadman hanging from the gate of your monastery. It seems that the dress style should be the nun in your courtyard. Do you know this?"

"...I don't know."

"The man jumped from the top of the attic and hung at the gate. It looks like he has been dead for two or three weeks. As the dean, you don't even know?"

"There are not many women who cultivate in this monastery. They pray with great concentration on weekdays. They don't bother each other and don't call their names, so I don't know."

"So that's the case," Xie Lun smiled. "If this is the case, if the dean dies, no one should know?"

Irene was taken aback, and hurriedly raised her head to look at Xie Lun, motioning him to say a few words. But after she looked up, she saw a black shadow standing up from the stone chair and walking silently to the back of the hall, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Aunt Dean..."

Irene just wanted to chase her, Xie Lun grabbed her, shook her head and said: "You can look carefully, that person is not the dean."

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

"Sit there and talk, but it may not be true." Xie Lun took out the flashlight, turned it on, and walked towards the stone chair and walked around.

After walking around, Irene found a woman in a black nun's robe and a black veil sitting on the stone chair. Since there are people on the stone bench, who is the person who left the stone bench just now?

"Aunt Dean..."

Irene tried to yell, but the nun on the stone chair didn't respond and didn't move.

Xie Lun pulled Irene behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't shout, as I just said, she is dead... already dead."
