The Secret Room

"Where is the secret room?", Hubert asked.

"Here...", Richard rolled his eyes as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"What? You still want to lie to me?", Hubert pushed the long sword in his hand forward again.

More blood stains appeared on Richard's neck.

"No, no, I'll say it. I'll say it, okay? It's behind the bookshelf!", Richard shouted.

"Which button is the switch?", Hubert asked.

"The deer head on the wall to your right can be turned. Turn 90 degrees to the right and 45 degrees back again to open the secret door on the bookshelf to enter the secret room."

Richard shouted.

"You didn't lie to me?", Hubert asked.

"I didn't.", Richard said loudly.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time.", Hubert put away his sword and walked to the deer's head by the wall. He first rotated 90 degrees to the right, then 45 degrees back again.

As soon as he finished rotating, he heard a soft crack, followed by the sound of a shotgun being fired.

Bang!

Countless small steel balls came at Hubert from two directions.

The small steel balls rained down on Hubert like raindrops.

However, these small steel balls could not penetrate Hubert's God Forsaken Armor at all. Other than making some noise, they could not even leave a dent.

After the small steel balls exhausted their kinetic energy, they fell onto the expensive carpet and rolled into a pool of blood.

Hubert slowly turned his head and looked at Richard. His eyes were full of killing intent.

"Please, don't kill me. I was just obsessed. The real way to open the door is...", Richard said hurriedly.

However, before he could finish his words, Hubert's Holy Light Sword stabbed into his heart.

Puff, the Holy Light Sword pierced through Richard and shattered his heart.

"I. . .", Richard looked at Hubert in a daze. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask why.

However, the gurgling blood had taken away all of his strength. Even if he tried his best to open his mouth, he could not make a sound.

"You want to ask why?", Hubert asked with a smile.

"No one can survive after deceiving me."

"Not even gods and demons."

Hubert waved the long sword in his hand, and Richard's head fell.

Richard's head rolled to Howard's body. The father and son looked at each other in silence.

After killing Richard, Hubert held the Holy Light Sword and looked at the bookcase for a while. Then, he hacked at the bookcase.

Soon, the solid wooden bookcase was cut into pieces, revealing the alloy metal door inside.

There was a ten-digit code lock on the metal door. There were at least ten billion combinations of codes. If one tried them one by one, they would probably be able to test until the end of the world.

However, this was not a problem for Hubert.

Hubert took out his Holy Light Sword and inserted it into the password lock.

The Holy Light Sword pierced into the lock.

Hubert used his Holy Light Sword  to stir the lock twice. The password lock was quickly turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Hubert pulled out his Holy Light Sword . He stretched out his hand and pulled. The alloy door of the secret room was slowly opened.

The moment the door was opened, a burst of dense gunshots came from inside.

Da Da Da Da...

A machine gun crazily fired at the door.

A large number of bullets rained down on Hubert.

Hubert hurriedly raised the Holy Light Shield in response.

The powerful kinetic energy of the machine gun bullets made Hubert retreat a few steps, but it stopped there.

After the machine gun bullets cracked the Holy Light Shield a few times, there was no more bullet left, so it made an empty cracking sound.

At this time, Hubert had time to observe the furnishings in the room.

It was a small room less than ten square meters, a bit like a fallout shelter. There was a sink, a bathroom, and a cabinet with many compartments. There were some things on it.

Facing the door was an old Gatling machine gun with a hook on the trigger. Obviously, if someone did not open the door according to the rules, they would be shot by the machine gun.

At the moment, everyone's strength was at level 1 or 2. No one could withstand the machine gun of this level.

It seemed that Howard had put in a lot of effort to prevent theft.

Unfortunately, he had not expected Hubert to be a reincarnated person. With his angel bloodline and God Forsaken Armor, all of his arrangements had become a joke.

Hubert looked at the old Gatling. It was in pretty good condition. If he could find a matching bullet, he could throw it into the church as a defensive weapon.

After taking down the Gatling and putting it aside, Hubert's gaze fell on the cabinet.

The top shelf was filled with canned goods, bottled water, crackers, and candy.

The quantity was enough to last a month or so.

Under the cabinet were gold, cash, jewelry, watches, and other valuables. Hubert saw two custom-made Beretta 92F and a gold-plated Winchester M1887. Next to them were boxes of bonds.

In the middle of the cabinet were three things. A metal fragment, a black notebook, and a silver card.

Hubert first picked up the metal fragment. He could feel that it was filled with powerful energy. However, looking at the patterns and the broken edges, it was obvious that it was a fragment of something.

Before he knew what this thing was, Hubert did not want to touch it too much.

Putting down the metal fragment, Hubert picked up the silver card.

The weight of the silver card was very heavy, and there was a slight feeling of pressure. It was cold to the touch, and it seemed to be made of all metal. The picture of the metal card was very simple. It was a seven-pointed star, and in the center of the seven-pointed star, there was a pattern of a long sword.

In the lower right corner of the metal card, there was a number 0431.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

"What on Earth is this thing?", Hubert looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen something like this in his previous life.

"Forget it, let's see what's in the notebook first.", Hubert put down the card, opened the notebook, and started to read.

This black notebook was actually Howard's diary. There were many scandals and crimes recorded in it. If it were to be published, he would probably spend the rest of his life in prison.

However, it was no longer necessary now.

In the diary, Howard mentioned the origin of the card. It was a keepsake of a large organization. However, he had always kept the name of the large organization a secret. He only vaguely mentioned that he had been forced to do many things for that large organization, one of them even included transporting a batch of felons to do human experiments on them.

From the contents of the diary, Howard's fear of that big organization was greater than what he was afraid.

As for the piece of metal fragment that was filled with energy, Howard also mentioned it. This piece of metal fragment was obtained by chance together with Yoda and Fox, the commander of the combined force unit of the National Guard stationed in St. Louis.

The three of them studied it for a long time but could not find any use for it, so they kept it separately.

"I didn't expect this Howard to have so many secrets.", Hubert slowly closed the diary. "It seems that if we want to find out the secrets of the metal fragments, we have to look for Yoda and Fox."
