The group organized their equipment and hurried to the vicinity of the Church mentioned by the Puppet Master in the communication screen.
As night fell, the abandoned Church stood alone on the boundless snowy plain, like a lost island.
From their location, they could just catch sight of the entire dilapidated outline of the Church. Under the crumbling dome, countless black puppet figures wandered. There were puppet sentinels responsible for vigilance, all armed, leading Ghouls walking in the dark; those sensitive creatures would raise the alarm the moment enemies approached.
Xu Xiaoyou also noticed a subtle figure on the second floor. It was a girl turned puppet, her eyes dull, wearing combat attire similar to theirs, leaning behind a half-broken wall, holding a heavy sniper rifle; the 0.5-inch caliber bullets it fired could shatter the skulls of most Fourth Tier Cleaners.
