Chapter 416: Chapter 206 Narrow Path Encounter_3 Chapter 416: Chapter 206 Narrow Path Encounter_3 Under the effect of Yan Fei's camerequipped eyes, every nook and cranny of the Vatican Museum had been recorded by the Auxiliary Brain. By the time Yan Fei left the Vatican Museum, it was already two in the afternoon. However, with this one reconnaissance, he had already thoroughly explored the situation of both St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museum. One could say that he knew the important buildings of the Vatican inside and out, except for those located underground.
Beyond that, through the collection of internet intelligence and the addition of Google satellite maps, the Auxiliary Brain had already scouted the terrain distribution of the entire Vatican, leaving nothing unclear. Since Yan Fei wanted to snatch the Papal Scepter, he naturally needed to understand the terrain thoroughly, as any oversight could lead to major problems.
After leaving the Vatican, Yan Fei didn't linger around the area; instead, he rode his motorcycle toward the Rome city area. After enjoying a big Italian meal at a restaurant in the city, he visited other tourist attractions in Rome, looking every bit the out-of-town sightseer.
As night fell, Yan Fei had almost finished touring Rome's attractions. He then entered a very busy toilet near the Colosseum. When he emerged from the inside, he had undergone a complete transformation, now appearing as a muscular Caucasian man standing 1.9 meters tall. Yan Fei ditched his motorcycle and hailed a taxi on the street to the vicinity of the Tiber River near the Vatican. He sat on a bench by the river, took out a bag of food, and began feeding the birds that came out in search of their evening meal.
As the night slowly darkened, Yan Fei pretended to feed the birds while sizing up his surroundings. He wasn't far from the Vatican, and the location was excellent. With his extraordinary vision, he could clearly see the situation around St. Peter's Basilica. Then he noticed that the basilica had already closed its doors to visitors, and all tourists had left, leaving the outside empty and deserted.
Doubts arose in Yan Fei's mind. If others could recognize the significance of that spherical bead, they would surely come here to snatch it. A day had already passed, so why hadn't anyone come to seize it? Not even a single person could be seen among the crowd. Could it be that they feared the Holy See's influence and dared not to act rashly here? Or did the Holy See hide such formidable strength that no one dared to provoke them, allowing this special item to remain unclaimed?
Yan Fei pondered without any conclusion, but this didn't hinder his operation tonight. Even if the Holy See was indeed formidable, or if this were a trap set against him, he would still take the risk tonight. He had to obtain the third Upgrade Essential Item for the Drone. At this point, all strategies became futile, and what remained was a clash of strengths. It truly was a case of “when paths cross, the brave one wins,” and Yan Fei would not back down.
The Vatican was not limited to St. Peter's Basilica; behind the basilica, there was a large garden where the Pope resided and worked. In this garden, there were many other buildings, including the Vatican Museum. Yan Fei had visited the museum that very day and knew that it housed many precious artifacts. According to the data the Drone had collected from the internet, some of the Pope's valuable items were stored there.
The Vatican Museum was open to tourists only in its ordinary rooms. The rooms that housed the Pope's valuable items were not open to the public. However, Yan Fei had already used the Auxiliary Brain to analyze the structure of the museum's rooms, identifying a hidden room. That hidden room was very likely the storage place of the Papal Scepter.
At eleven o'clock at night, most of the lights in the Vatican were extinguished. Yan Fei stood up and strode towards the Vatican.
Just as Yan Fei was heading towards the Vatican, a flicker in the darkness not far behind him revealed a slender Caucasian man in a Chinese monastic robe with a shaven head. With a swift move, he dropped several unconscious people to the ground. Watching Yan Fei advance towards the Vatican, he said, “Destroyer, you truly have guts to actually dare to break into the Vatican.”
The bald Caucasian man sighed, took out a communicator from his bosom, and was about to make an external call when an eerie current of air brushed by. Suddenly, the communicator in his hand shattered into powder, slipping through his fingers. Then, an Asian man with a large, formidable stature appeared beside him like a ghost, and, with a move of his hand, he also dropped several unconscious people to the ground.
