William clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Well, gentlemen, no one will disturb us now. You may continue."
The three of them were relieved that William did not kill anyone. Teabing smiled at William. "William, you are indeed Henry's grandson. You are decisive and clean. Most importantly, you are much better than Henry. Haha."
"Thank you for the compliment, Sir," William replied politely. Langdon and Sophie stared at him in bewilderment. Never in their wildest dreams would they have guessed that William, who had always acted like a gentleman in front of them, had just come so close to snapping someone's neck.
He could easily remove someone's arm. Seeing that he did not care about human life at all, the two of them could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"Don't worry, Professor, Sophie. I'll only do that to my enemies. I promise I won't hurt you," William said with a smile. "Don't worry. I'll only do that to my enemies.
"Okay." Professor Langdon twitched his mouth. Sophie looked at the white-haired man on the sofa with some contradictions. She now knew that this guy had murdered her grandfather. She wanted this guy dead, but she also wanted to hand him over to the police. After all, Sophie herself was a police officer.
Seeing that no one was interested, Teabing exclaimed, "I can't believe it. There really is such a thing. I've studied it all my life and almost lost all hope. I didn't expect to see it when I was about to die — the sacred object under the rose."
After hearing Teabing's words, Langdon and Sophie turned their attention to the cryptex in Teabing's hand. They were eager to hear what Teabing had to say.
William picked up the wooden box containing the cryptex and examined it. He had already checked the cryptex and even scanned it with his psychic power. Although he could sense the note in the cryptex, the note was rolled up and the words were stacked on top of each other. He could not sense it clearly.
Carefully scanning the wooden box with his psychic power, he found that there were words under the metal rose piece on the wooden box. He quietly walked to the other side of the table, picked up a pencil, and pressed it. After the metal rose piece was pushed down, he picked up the metal piece and saw some words written on it.
Taking a closer look, William realized that the words were written backwards. He knew that he had to look at the glass to understand such words.
He did not disturb Langdon and the other two who were discussing not far away. He found a glass mirror and looked at it. William saw the words written on the mirror: 'After the death of the Knight of London, he was buried by the Pope. His lifetime of achievements angered the Holy See. The Holy Orb should have rested on the Heroes' Veil. The impregnated Queen's Daughter will live forever with the Princess. '
William suddenly felt that this sentence was very familiar. After thinking about it, he immediately understood. He cursed in his heart, "Damn it, isn't this one of the three paragraphs in the Oxford Regulations at home?"
No wonder the Grand Elder of the Hermit Order, Jacques Saunière, had told William that the Devonshire family was the final guardian. Now, William understood everything. Looking at the other paragraph, William used his psychic power to scan the cryptex and immediately understood what was written inside.
The contents of the cryptex were also the same as the Oxford Regulations. The Holy Grail awaits beneath the ancient Rosslyn, the Blade and the Holy Grail guard the Gate of Eden. Dedicated to the Grand Master's masterpiece, accompanying her in dreams. She may rest in peace, gazing at the starry sky.
Damn it, he spent so much effort to find something that he already knew about. This made him furious. He walked to the wine table and poured himself a glass of wine, then sat down on a chair. He couldn't let Langdon and the other two continue to investigate, he was the only one who knew about these words.
Since the secret was no longer a secret to him, William had to think of a flawless way to make this secret disappear. It would forever remain in the hands of the Devonshire family, and he couldn't let the Hermit Guild know about it.
He turned to look at the white-haired man lying on the ground and had an idea. This guy had been lying on the ground for a long time, silently wriggling his hands while enduring the intense pain, all for the sake of breaking free from his grip.
Seeing this, William used his psychic power to pick up one of the glass shards that Langdon had broken earlier and stealthily placed it near the white-haired man's hand. The wriggling white-haired man didn't take long before he touched the shard.
William scanned the shard with his psychic power and sensed the shard in the white-haired man's hand. He smiled and stood up to ask the three people who were still in the middle of their discussion. "Are any of you hungry? Do you want to come to the dining hall with me for breakfast? "
"No need to thank me"
Langdon and the other two didn't have the time to pay attention to William. They were currently using a pen and paper to try out different combinations of letters on the table, crossing out any mistakes they made.
"Well, then I'll go eat by myself. Does anyone want me to bring it up?" William asked again.
The three of them didn't speak this time, only Sophie shook her hand at William.
He happily found some ham and eggs in the dining hall and spent a few minutes making a ham and eggs. He put it on a plate and ate it as he went upstairs. He stood in the hallway and looked outside the castle for breakfast.
In less than a minute, William sensed that the white-haired man had untied the tape on his hand. This guy was indeed a fanatic. His arm had been dislocated by William, but he still used his fingers to hold the shard of glass despite the intense pain. It took him almost ten minutes to cut open the tape on his hand.
This made William feel pain just by looking at it. Although his arm was dislocated, he could still move his fingers. However, every time he moved his fingers, it would be very painful, not to mention holding the shard of glass with his fingers. After the white-haired man cut open the tape, he was in so much pain that his whole body trembled, sweat dripping down his forehead.
It took him a few more minutes to loosen his foot and lie on the ground to rest for a few more minutes. Then, he gritted his teeth and used the ground to reattach his arm.
Langdon and the other two guys were so engrossed that they didn't even notice the slight cracking sound.
After reattaching his arm, the white-haired man lay on the ground like a dead fish, gasping for breath. After a long time, he looked up at Langdon and the other two sitting around the desk. He knew that he didn't have much time. He had to subdue them and take the keystone before William came back.
While the three of them were not paying attention, the white-haired man suddenly rushed to Teabing, who was holding the cryptex. He wanted to subdue Teabing, the lame old man. In his opinion, Teabing was the easiest person to subdue.
Teabing was startled by the white-haired man rushing in front of him and fell back involuntarily. William, who had been using his mental power to observe the reference room in the corridor, was overjoyed. The opportunity had come.
William used his mental power to secretly grab the white-haired man's foot. The guy immediately pounced on Teabing instead of running toward him. The two immediately collided.
With a bang, the two men pounced on each other. The cryptex in Teabing's hand flew out and hit the wall.
As the cryptex flew toward the wall, William, the bad guy, used his mental power to accelerate the cryptex.
The cryptex slammed into the wall, fell to the ground, and bounced a few times. William immediately felt the glass in the cryptex break.
Haha, that's the best. William was secretly happy, but his feet were not slow. He rushed into the reference room with his gun. When he was about to shoot, Sophie blocked his shooting angle. He could only shout, "Get out of Sophie's way."
Hearing William's shout, the white-haired man reacted and grabbed Teabing's neck with both hands. He pressed the broken glass against Teabing's neck and shouted, "Put down the gun, put down the gun, or I'll slit his throat."
Damn it, William did not shoot immediately. Worried about Teabing's safety, William could only point his gun at the white-haired man. "Let him go, or I'll shoot. I don't know this old man well."
The white-haired man quickly hid his head behind Teabing's head. "Try shooting. If I die, I'll take someone with me." The broken glass in his hand cut Teabing's neck.
"No, no, no, William, don't shoot. Be careful of Teabing," Langdon immediately shouted. "Teabing, don't be nervous. We'll save you."
Teabing, who was being held hostage, ignored Langdon. His eyes were fixed on the cryptex. He knew it was broken. He had heard the sound when the cryptex hit the wall. The glass bottle inside must have broken.
"Langdon, look at the cryptex. Don't worry about me. Look at the cryptex."
Langdon, who was also worried about the cryptex, heeded Teabing's advice and went to the cryptex. He picked it up and paled. He could feel the liquid on his hand, and when he picked it up, he could smell the vinegar.
He turned to Teabing and shook his head.
