Chapter 941: Chapter 525: Taste the Flavor of Blazing Fire!_3

Although it wasn’t as incessant as in movies and TV shows, the trees in front of Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings were densely covered with dozens of flying daggers, dart, steel needles, swallowtail darts, and the like!

These items were smeared with poison; being hit by them would be no small trouble!

What was even more worrying was that, taking advantage of the projectile attack, those people advanced again, almost reaching them!

Sometimes, the human wave attack really does work!

"You don’t really think that within seven steps, a knife is faster, do you?"

Suddenly, Sean Knight reached out and fired a shot, knocking a man in black who had rushed to the tree and was about to stab at his ribs to the ground!

These people had truly underestimated the killing intent of Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings, as well as their resolve to cleanse this place.

Even as a group had already charged in front of them, the two still used the trees as cover for each other, shooting down these villains one by one!

"Boss, you were right, sumo wrestlers are no match for a gun!"

More than twenty people were knocked down in a heap, and when no others approached, Sean Knight and his companion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elijah Hastings changed his clip and, holding his gun, took a look outside, while Sean Knight had already discovered with the help of Sky Eye that there was no one nearby.

He walked out, heading toward the main hall.

Elijah Hastings didn’t wait for Sean Knight’s instructions and had already found a favourable position to provide cover.

Pushing open the main hall, Sean Knight saw inside more than 1000 large and small memorial tablets.

All were tablets of war criminals below second-class!

These creatures not even equal to beasts actually had tablets set up in this place!

Sean Knight took a gasoline barrel out of the spatial realm, poured it all around inside, and then lit it on fire!

When Sean Knight came out, flames were already spitting fire from behind him.

"Boss, what’s inside?"

"Beasts’ tablets!" Sean Knight dropped a sentence, holding his gun as he continued to walk forward.

Indeed, these people didn’t give up easily—previously they worshipped openly, in these two years presumably afraid of public opinion, they moved their site, but the items were still there, still being venerated!

The thievery is unending!

Further ahead was now the main hall itself.

There was no one here now—the guards here had been called away by the fire to assist, and then they were buried.

Sean Knight entered the main hall and saw the box that was wrapped in yellow cloth before.

The box was placed on the altar, behind it were eight tablets.

Sean Knight couldn’t understand the katakana on it, and didn’t know who the eighth was. However, one could assume it was either from pilfering ashes or the ones running Avalokitesvara Temple—just accessories at the end of the day.

The main hall ostensibly venerated these items, and Sean Knight originally planned to burn it all and be done with it, but then he thought better of it, that would be letting them off too easily.

He collected the ashes to bring back home, planning to go to a selected public restroom in Nanjing City, preferably the one at the Memorial Hall, and pour these ashes in to let the refuse there "assimilate" the remains properly.

As for those tablets, burn them.

There were also various Buddhist implements arranged inside the main hall, but Sean Knight didn’t bother looking, burning everything in a fire!

The building being made of wood, it burned very quickly, and by the time Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings continued to the back, the main hall was already ablaze with flames reaching for the sky.

Behind it were no longer grand halls, but single-story houses.

"Boss, some people are trying to escape!" Elijah Hastings pointed toward the back, shouted, and then charged over.

"Be careful!" Sean Knight said, "Watch out for sneak attacks!"

He believed in Elijah Hastings’ ability and saw the few people trying to escape—they were the same ones who had come in the black car.

So he wasn’t worried.

Sean Knight picked the lock of the single-story house and walked in—this was a warehouse.

And then, he discovered that the original investigation report was true!

The single-story house did indeed have a secret chamber, which was somewhat hastily constructed, as Sean Knight noticed it at a mere glance.

On the surface, it was stacked with various supplies, food, clothing, and assorted items.

Sean Knight pulled aside a shelf of clothes, revealing the not completely covered secret door.

Pushing open the secret door, there were stairs leading downwards, and at the bottom was a large basement.

In the basement, crates were stacked chaotically.

The crates near the secret door were already open, inside containing items such as Bronze ware, porcelain, and ancient books.

Further inside, there were dozens of unopened crates of all sizes.

With Sky Eye, Sean Knight saw that some crates contained rolls of silver dollars, some were embellished with aged blood-stained gold and silver jewelry, some held standardized golden bars and silver ingots, and others were filled with various types of jade....

At a glance, it was evident that most of these goods had been looted or plundered, and some had never even been unboxed!

Believing that these people intended to bide their time and not return the items to China was something Sean Knight absolutely refused to accept.

This must be the unjust gains secretly kept by Matsui Iwane from his pillage of Nanjing City of China, as mentioned in the investigation report!

Sean Knight stepped forward, collecting all these items into his spatial realm.

Exiting the secret chamber, Sean Knight once again set the place ablaze before leaving the single-story house.

By this time, Elijah Hastings had returned from afar, holding a sword dripping with blood, his face marked with a fierce intent.

"Did you chop off their heads?" Seeing the blood dripping from the sword, Sean Knight asked.

"Mm." Elijah Hastings had previously seen those tablets and naturally knew what was happening here; it was impossible not to feel enraged.

There had to be a way to vent.

"Boss, I think the danger is mostly passed. These people’s heads, I have taken care of them. I plan to create a high tomb!"

"Alright, as you wish." Sean Knight nodded. There were still two buildings he hadn’t examined, and he felt there might be more discoveries.

Elijah Hastings found a wheelbarrow and got to work!

Sean Knight went to another single-story house at the back, the living quarters of those people.

With Sky Eye’s scan, he skipped the first and second room, opening the middle, third door.

Then, he saw a relatively opulent room.

And on the bed in the bedroom, something was still moving....

Sean Knight walked over with a sneer.

"Come out!" he demanded, kicking the bedpost!
