I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Chapter 282 Mysterious Disappearance

The underwater world is extremely beautiful, but it is also full of dangers.

Phil Gray swam carefully and finally arrived at the gate of the underwater city with Night.

"That pirate queen is truly amazing, as she was able to build such a large underwater city on the seabed to store her treasures," exclaimed Phil Gray.

"Let's go in. The door is already open. I feel like a lot of people have already come in." Heiye jumped off his back, paddled in the water, and swam towards the gate first.

Just as Phil Gray was about to catch up with the black cat, he heard a few exclamations behind him.

"Oh my god, am I dazzled? Why do I see a black cat swimming at the bottom of the sea?"

"I think I saw it too. Wait, there's another person in front of us. Why doesn't he need to wear this equipment?"

"They should be the followers of the Ocean Goddess, right? They have this ability."

Phil Gray turned his head and saw several people in transparent protective suits swimming towards him holding hands.

They should all be passengers who purchased commercial church equipment.

He was too lazy to pay attention to anyone, so he sped up and entered the underwater city at full speed.

The layout of the underwater city is similar to that of cities on land, with many roads extending in all directions and various houses and buildings on both sides of the roads.

But the houses here are very flat and low, less than half a person's height, and are decorated with corals and shells. They are definitely not built for human habitation, as thick silt and dust have accumulated over the years of erosion.

"Where could the treasure be?" The night was full of vitality at this moment, checking the surrounding traces like a detective. Even as a god, it could not resist the temptation of treasure hunting.

Phil Gray was wondering where his cousin would be. Since he was going to the South China Sea to find Edith, he would definitely know about this underwater city. He wouldn't be so stupid as to search aimlessly in the vast ocean, right?

"Someone else is coming." Phil Gray pulled the night and hid behind a cluster of tall corals.

Five women in tight blue skirts swam past them, their brows furrowed and their faces filled with fear, as if they had encountered something unexpected.

Are these all the followers of the Ocean Goddess?

Before Phil Gray had time to think about it, he saw one of the women shouting in the direction of him and the night: "Who's there!"

The followers of the sea goddess were indeed very perceptive in the sea water. He could only hold Heiye and show up, and greeted politely: "Hello!"

"Are you really teasing us?" One of the women wearing pearl earrings looked at him in surprise and suspicion.

Phil Gray shook his head and denied: "No, I just entered the underwater city and just saw you. If you encountered anything, it must not be me."

"Why waste your time talking to him! Do you think you can hide your identity by wearing a human skin mask and changing your appearance? The sea has already told me your appearance, it's obviously you!" The woman who first discovered Phil Gray was furious. A trident appeared in her hand and she stabbed at him.

The other women also believed her words and attacked Phil Gray together.

Uh, what's going on? I don't even know them, why are they fighting?

And it’s true that I was wearing a mask, so how could they mistake my face?

Phil Gray was puzzled, but he still fought first. Countless flying blades of destiny condensed in his hands and flew towards the women like a torrential rain.

Among them, only one is at the Divine Revelation level, and the others are only at the Attention Level, which is totally inadequate in front of him.

Hei Ye was too lazy to intervene in this battle. He dug shells from the seabed and strung the pearls inside into a necklace that was just right for a cat to wear.

Soon, the five women were knocked to the ground. They looked at Phil Gray tremblingly and begged, "We know we were wrong. We can return the map to you, but we only ask you to let us go!"

"Yes, and our other three sisters, please let them come back, please!"

Phil Gray looked at their frightened eyes and was speechless for a moment: "I said I don't know you, why do you want to be beaten?"

"Please stop joking. Here is the map. We are returning it to you. We were blinded by greed and stole your map. We accept your punishment. We hope you can return our other three sisters to us." The woman who had been so arrogant before took out a yellowed cowhide map from the space and pleaded.

This woman is the divine revelation-level follower inside, and she was also the first person to discover him. She should be their eldest sister.

Phil Gray looked at her strangely and took the map. The map was not affected at all by the sea. The pattern was clear and complete. It was the map of the underwater city where they were.

According to what these women said, they stole someone else's map, and the person looked very similar to them? Did they recognize the wrong person?

But now that the map was in his hands, he certainly couldn't return it to these thieves. Phil Gray said coldly: "Leave the map with me first, but I am definitely not the person you said I was. Tell me everything that happened."

"It's really not you?"

"Don't make me say it a second time."

"Okay," the leading woman gritted her teeth and told the whole story, "We arrived at this underwater city two days ago, intending to look for the treasure of the Pirate Queen, but this underwater city is too big, and we don't have any clues about the treasure. At this time, we happened to see a person who looks exactly like you holding this map. He seems to know the location of the treasure very well, so we used some means to steal the map from him. But unexpectedly, our nightmare also began from here..."

"Yes, we eight sisters did everything together, but suddenly one of our sisters disappeared, and we were completely unaware of it. I can't even remember the sister's ranking, and I have forgotten what she looks like and her name..." said the girl with pearl earrings crying.

The eldest sister pursed her lips and continued, "Then, another sister also disappeared mysteriously. We forgot everything about her, but we remember that we have eight sisters in total, and this morning, another sister disappeared!"

"Woo, woo, woo, we're so scared!"

"It's terrible. Besides, a travel companion I met in the Undersea City said that we only had five sisters, but he clearly said yesterday that we had six. But in fact, we remember clearly that we had eight!"

They talked at once, their fear evident in their words.

Phil Gray lowered his head and thought for a moment, but he couldn't think of anything. When he looked up again, he saw only four women hugging each other.

He said expressionlessly: "Haven't you always only had four sisters?"

"what!"

"what!"

The screams seemed to penetrate the sea water and reach the sky. Phil Gray covered his ears and said, "Okay, I was just kidding you. I know there were five of you just now. It seems that one of you disappeared again."

The eldest sister looked panicked, "But we forgot which sister disappeared."

"Is it Xiao Si? Or Xiao Ba?"

"But I remember I am Xiao Si."

"..."

Phil Gray frowned and said, "Isn't it the guy wearing... wearing something?"

He suddenly forgot what the disappeared woman looked like, but it is not ruled out that he himself is a little face-blind, so it is really difficult for him to remember these women who look similar.

"You said that person looks similar to me? Is it similar to the face under my mask?" Phil Gray asked, pointing at his own face.

"Yes." They nodded repeatedly.

He deliberately tore off the human skin mask, revealing his handsome face, and looked at them with his ice-blue eyes as pure as the sea, "Are you sure your face looks exactly like mine?"

"Yeah." They nodded firmly again.

Phil Gray's eyes were blank, and he thought of Victor who once pretended to be him. Could it be him?

In the past, he used his identity to defraud people, and now he is directly using his face?

Apart from Victor, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would walk around with the face of the Pope of Fate. After all, his face is now very recognizable.

He pondered and said, "Where is the travel companion you just mentioned that you met in the underwater city?"

"We'll take you there!" the eldest sister said hurriedly.
