Chapter 1982

That night, the cathedral reopened. Goddess believers who had heard rumors of the "theft of the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue" from gossip rushed over. Only after witnessing with their own eyes that the goddess statue was still there did they breathe a sigh of relief, discussing in groups of three or five how abominable the rumors were.

As for the spreader of the "rumors," Moon Apostles had already gone to have tea with him. Such people who fear the world won't be in chaos need "verbal criticism."

After today, no one would discuss the theft of the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue again. Those who knew about this were limited to a very small number of people, and what recorded it was a highly confidential document, which had now been sealed in the Lulunfei Palace.

The theft of the goddess statue let the Moon Goddess know that uninvited guests might have come to her home, so she strengthened the defenses of all secret storage rooms. This matter was handled by Tree Wolf, and places that originally had 15 Moon Apostles guarding them were changed to a complement of at least 50 people.

The Moon Goddess Monastery at night returned to its usual tranquility. In the central courtyard, a group of young believers chased and played with each other.

The Moon Apostles guarding around the courtyard selectively ignored these little guys, because most of them had grown up like this.

At this time, the Moon Goddess was not in the monastery. Since the Ninth Unit helped find the goddess statue, she naturally had to show some appreciation. At 8:00 PM, she held a banquet at the "Pontlock Grand Hotel" in the imperial capital.

Su Xiao, Baja, and the little adjutant were all invited and were currently at the Pontlock Grand Hotel.

This was the opportunity Su Xiao had been waiting for. According to his speculation, the Will Rune Stone should have no practical use for the Moon Goddess, but it was also a very important item.

While searching for clues to the Will Rune Stone, Su Xiao had received hints more than once that the Will Rune Stone was an item for blaspheming gods.

And the Moon Goddess keeping the Will Rune Stone was clearly not to blaspheme gods, but to prevent others from doing so.

During the banquet was the best opportunity for Su Xiao to obtain the Will Rune Stone. He, Baja, and the little adjutant were all attending the banquet, so even if the Will Rune Stone was stolen, no one would suspect him.

On a low building in the Moon Goddess Monastery, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatted on the roof. The night wind blew through its fur. This cool summer night significantly improved its IQ. The "smart cells" had already occupied the high ground, and the "stupid cells" were temporarily dormant.

"Woo~"

Just as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wanted to howl at the sky, it held it back.

According to Xiang Bubu's observation, there were nine storage rooms in the monastery. Six of them stored supplies, weapons, etc., and were heavily guarded, but their security level was not high.

The remaining four were heavily guarded and had high security levels. Storage Room No. 1 was guarded by 56 Moon Apostles, No. 2 by 73, No. 3 by 280, and No. 4 by at least 300.

Under normal circumstances, Storage Rooms No. 3 and No. 4 were more likely to store the Will Rune Stone, but Su Xiao had Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang prioritize Storage Room No. 2.

With the Moon Goddess's IQ, this woman might not necessarily put too many guards in important places. Storage Room No. 2 was the top priority, followed by No. 1, then No. 3, and finally No. 4.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang soon arrived at the location of Storage Room No. 2. From the outside, it was just a somewhat dilapidated warehouse, and there were no guards in front of the door at all.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang activated the incidental ability of 【Holy Traveler】. After penetrating the wall, it discovered that a dozen Moon Apostles were guarding inside the warehouse, and they were all in the shadows.

Storage Room No. 2 was located diagonally below this warehouse. After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang passed through an underground passage guarded by more than twenty Moon Apostles, it finally arrived in front of the door to Storage Room No. 2.

A steam door five meters high and three meters wide stood tall. Standing in front of the door were two believers wearing linen robes and hoods. They were barefoot, and the edges of their soles and palms were covered in thick calluses.

Just seeing these two, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang felt a bit intimidated. Their aura no longer resembled humans, but rather humanoid wild beasts contaminated by mental pollution.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang chose to bypass these two and penetrate through the wall at the edge of the steam door.

Just after entering Storage Room No. 2, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stopped. Countless silk threads were crisscrossed horizontally and vertically. Touching any one of them would have serious consequences, and these threads were extremely thin, so thin they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

There were a dozen rows of metal racks in Storage Room No. 2, on which various items were placed, and everything was connected to those silk threads.

Seeing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang knew that it only had one chance to act. When it picked up any item, it would immediately trigger the mechanism.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took a remote control from its storage space. Following its manipulation, 6 metal bees flew up and flew between the silk threads. Their compound eyes began to snap photos of various items on the metal racks.

The faint light like fireflies flashed from time to time. When the 6 metal bees flew a circle in Storage Room No. 2, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang retrieved them and began to organize the photos obtained.

Although neither Su Xiao nor Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang knew what the Will Rune Stone looked like, they had some concept of it. Based on this concept, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang began to compare the photos.

176 photos were compared, among which 3 items were suspected to be the Will Rune Stone. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang confirmed again through the mechanical bees and concluded that the Will Rune Stone was not here.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang retreated along the path it came from and headed straight for Storage Room No. 1...

An hour and a half later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lay on the crossbeam of Storage Room No. 3. The terrain here was very dangerous.

Storage Room No. 3 was built above a sinkhole. In the bottomless sinkhole, metal supports were built, extending deep into the sinkhole.

And Storage Room No. 3 was built above the metal supports. Once an intruder entered, the metal supports below would collapse in an instant, and the storage cabinets containing items would also lock and fall freely downward. The steam cushioning device below the storage cabinets could ensure that the items inside were not damaged.

It could be said that once a thief entered here, the entire Storage Room No. 3 would collapse into the sinkhole. The craftsman who built this place could be called a genius.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already locked onto the location of the Will Rune Stone, which was in the storage cabinet of Storage Room No. 3. However, there was another problem: when it was checking inside Storage Room No. 1, it actually ran into a peer.

Discovering this situation, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang notified Su Xiao, and Su Xiao had it follow that peer, preferably to find out the other party's goal.

At this time, this peer had also sneaked into Storage Room No. 3. This was a woman who was no taller than 1.5 meters and had a slender figure.

Seeing this woman's figure, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang couldn't help but think that if Benny had a human form, it would probably look like this. That's right, this was a woman as agile as a cat.

The cat-woman walked on a metal support only 5 centimeters wide. She didn't trigger the mechanism. That feeling was as if her body had no weight at all, not enough to trigger the mechanism and cause the metal support to collapse into the sinkhole.

The cat-woman wore no clothing, but had coated her entire body in a black dye that could absorb light. Her hair was very long, reaching down to her heels. This supple black long hair was braided into dozens of thin braids, and at the tip of each thin braid, metal items such as barbs, thin blades, and lock-picking needles were tied.

The cat-woman could manipulate these dozens of hair braids. At this time, she was already standing in front of the storage cabinet, and her goal was also the Will Rune Stone.
