Looking at the suddenly serious face of Yang Yi, Petra whispered, "I’ll try contacting soone else."
Yang Yi imdiately said, "No need, if your bodyguards are professionals, they wouldn’t ignore your calls, so your bodyguards are likely dead."
Petra had already considered this possibility, because her father had hired the best bodyguards for her, no chance of being unreachable.
Call for help?
Get assistance from the Grey-cloaked People to combat the Cleaners who are trying to assassinate Petra?
No matter how you think about it, this doesn’t seem right. And the biggest problem is there’s probably no ti to wait for reinforcents, although it’s only half an hour, this half-hour won’t be easy.
Sothing feels off, because if this isn’t the work of the Grey-cloaked People, then it must be the Cleaners. But if it’s the Cleaners, this response seems overly intense.
Why would the Cleaners risk exposing themselves so much to assassinate the daughter of a Wall Street mogul?
This completely goes against the usual low-key style of both the Cleaners and the Grey-cloaked People.
Yang Yi looked at Petra, and Petra whispered, "What’s wrong?"
"Is there sothing I don’t know?"
Yang Yi knew now wasn’t the ti to ask this, but he truly sensed an unusual sense of danger.
When things are abnormal, there must be sothing fishy; the Cleaners shouldn’t act this way, but since they did, there must be a reason. What that reason is, he doesn’t know, but since it’s abnormal, it isn’t a common reason.
Petra was stumped by Yang Yi’s question, then she thought for a mont and said, "No, there isn’t."
"There must be, like did that amateur historian discover sothing and kept it hidden from everyone? Even you didn’t know, and this ti sothing else was discovered by the recently deceased teacher, so you were targeted for assassination?"
Petra contemplated for a mont, then shook her head and suddenly said, "Still nothing..."
Yang Yi very much wanted to check the contents of the USB drive because he felt the key was on the USB drive, but he also felt this wasn’t the right ti.
After a brief contemplation, Yang Yi suddenly said, "It’s wrong!"
"What’s wrong? What’s not right?"
Sweat started to appear on Yang Yi’s forehead as he whispered, "There was an incorrect illustration in the PPT just now; the picture obviously wasn’t taken from a bound book, but from a separate page."
Petra was taken aback and said, "Is there?"
"Yes, open the computer."
Despite the urgency, Yang Yi had to get to the bottom of this.
Pulling up the picture, Yang Yi quickly found the one he rembered and imdiately took out his phone to call Bruno.
"You acquired a diary from Petra here, written by a knight who participated in the Crusades; you killed an amateur historian and swapped out the diary he had hidden, is that right?"
Bruno was silent for a brief mont, then said, "Yes."
"Have you read it?"
"I’ve read it."
"Then did the diary contain an insert page, not bound with the diary, just inserted inside, because the insert page was relatively large, so it was folded and inserted into the diary?"
Bruno responded without hesitation: "No, tell the content."
Yang Yi took a deep breath and said, "There’s an illustration of soone disassembling a box from a very smooth cabinet, and this box originally projected a star map pattern."
"No, tell the whereabouts of the insert."
Yang Yi whispered, "Below the illustration were written words, Latin, classical Latin, not ecclesiastical Latin."
"Tell the content!"
"I can’t understand it!"
The evolution of Latin is complex; simply put, classical Latin used during the Roman Empire under Emperor Augustus is classical Latin, whereas the Latin used mainly in the Church today is called ecclesiastical Latin.
Yang Yi truly couldn’t understand, but he knew Petra could.
Pointing at the computer, Yang Yi whispered, "Read it to ."
Petra whispered, "I’ve read it; it’s entirely aningless rambling, like tedious prophecies. Also, the handwriting is different from the diary writer’s, not written by the diary owner. Moreover, this is classical Latin, and the diary owner wouldn’t have used classical Latin, so this probably wasn’t originally part of the diary."
Yang Yi took a deep breath and said, "Read!"
Petra cleared her throat and said, "The doomsday trumpet will sound in the second millennium, the demon king will descend with his servants, only... God can save humanity. You should pray for God’s salvation, leading you into... heaven."
After finishing, Petra shook her head and said, "It sounds like a Judgnt Day prophecy, but not identical. Um, the second millennium can also be seen as the millennium or the blessed millennium, but it’s not written as millennium here because the grammar and wording are classical Latin, which didn’t have this term at the ti."
Yang Yi took a deep breath and then said to Bruno, "Did you hear that?"
"I heard."
Yang Yi said in a grave tone, "Can you explain it to ?"
Bruno was silent for a mont and then finally whispered, "I didn’t see that illustration, but if I’m right, it’s the Holy Ark, and the Energy Block used on it."
"No, it’s not the Energy Block. I know what the Energy Block looks like; this box looks much larger. I said before, the sa box appeared in the diary with star maps on it."
Bruno was silent again for a mont before saying quietly, "Then the box should be the Revelation, which is in the hands of the Cleaners. Whether they want to communicate with aliens or find the Ark, we need the Revelation!"
Yang Yi exhaled deeply, then whispered, "So, the Cleaners don’t want anyone to know this, but this diary is not the kind of evidence that’s easily convincing. Why are the Cleaners so anxious, and you too? Can you tell why?"
Bruno whispered, "It’s not convenient now; when you co, I can tell you why. But I must warn you, if Petra gets that illustration, you’d better hide her well because the Cleaners will definitely kill her. Actually, if it weren’t for you, we should have dispatched a hitman by now; everyone who cos into contact with this secret has to die, must die!"
Yang Yi whispered, "I think you’d better tell now, seriously. My situation is very troubleso, and I need to know how serious things are to decide what to do next."
Bruno sighed lightly and said, "The Holy Ark is very important, the Revelation is also important, but another crucial thing is the operation thod. If I’m not mistaken, that illustration is the very thing we’ve been searching for for a very long ti. And the reason the Cleaners tried to kill Petra is to prevent us from knowing the whereabouts of that illustration."
"Now you know it."
"Yes."
Yang Yi exhaled and whispered, "Sothing still doesn’t feel right..."
