Chapter 415: Chapter 206 Encounter on a Narrow Path_2 Chapter 415: Chapter 206 Encounter on a Narrow Path_2 Yan Fei struck up conversations with the tourists queuing beside him, speaking flawless Italian and showcasing his abnormally extensive knowledge, quickly earning the admiration of two cute girls next to him who repeatedly cast coquettish glances his way. Yan Fei pretended to joke around with them but covertly scanned his surroundings, checking to see if anyone else harboring ill intentions had blended into the crowd.

It was unprecedented for the Pope to reveal the true appearance of his scepter in a news video, so the spherical bead at the top of the scepter must have been seen by individuals from other forces. Yan Fei couldn't be sure whether the intelligence departments of the great powers knew that the decoration atop the Papal Scepter was actually a special item. After all, all special items before had been corroded and rusty in appearance, but this time, the spherical bead was oddly smooth and polished, even faintly emitting a white glow. Thanks to the automatic judgment of his Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei was aware that this spherical bead was an essential item for the Drone Upgrade. Without an Auxiliary Brain, this sacred artifact, others might easily overlook its true nature.

However, Yan Fei couldn't be completely certain that no one else recognized the item; he had a method to distinguish these special items, but who's to say others didn't have their own means of identification? If someone else recognized the special item, surely they would come to snatch it. A day had passed since the Pope had displayed the true face of the scepter. If everyone had set out immediately after seeing the news, they should have reached the Vatican by now.

Yan Fei was diligently observing, looking for any out-of-place individuals. If indeed such people emerged, they were certainly the enemies on this trip, necessitating extra caution and vigilance. However, after a careful sweep, Yan Fei hadn't spotted anyone suspicious for the time being.

The queue to visit St. Peter's Basilica was very long, and it took an hour and a half before Yan Fei could enter. The two cute girls, initially interested in Yan Fei, were put off by his altered and less attractive appearance, quickly shifting their attention to a handsome guy behind them and swiftly engaging with him. Yan Fei didn't mind; his interaction with the girls was merely to conceal his identity, and now he was relieved of the obligation to politely decline their company later.

Unlike Chinese Civilization, in ancient Europe, the most majestic and robust structure in a city was always the church. This was especially true for the grand cathedrals with centuries-long histories, whose construction spanned hundreds of years and multiple generations of people. The St. Peter's Basilica before him also took over a hundred years to complete. Upon completion, it became the most majestic and spectacular structure in Rome. Only with the advent of modern technology, the extensive use of reinforced concrete, and the rise of skyscrapers, did the cathedrals in cities gradually recede from the ranks of tall buildings.

Although no longer the tallest, the interior of St. Peter's Basilica was still immensely vast. The hall was 186 meters long, with a total area of 15,000 square meters, capable of accommodating 60,000 people for prayer at the same time. Inside were towering columns, arched ceilings, colorful patterns everywhere, lifelike statues, exquisitely detailed reliefs, and floors paved with brightly polished colored marble.

St. Peter's Basilica is a rectangular structure, forming the shape of a cross, a configuration traditional and sacred; it is also the largest church in the world. The opulence of the interior corresponded to its vastness, a lavishness that was overwhelming and suffocating. Even Yan Fei felt an extreme sense of oppression upon entering the basilica, as if something formidable and terrifying lay hidden within, casting doubt on the success of his mission.

Then, Yan Fei immediately snapped to his senses. After enduring such lengthy trials, his determination had become as steadfast as iron. Once he set a goal, he always found a way to achieve it, never doubting its feasibility. But why had he just considered the possibility of failure? Was it because he was in the basilica that he felt fear, or was there something inside the basilica that could influence his thoughts?

As Yan Fei followed the tourists through St. Peter's Basilica, his mind was tumultuous, but he appeared as cheerful and enthusiastic as the other visitors. After reaching a certain threshold of spiritual power, he had developed a new ability–to use his eyes as surveillance cameras for a set duration, uploading the visuals to the Intelligent Brain's database and preserving them for data collection on this mission. Thus, after Yan Fei took a walk through the church, every detail was recorded and stored by the Auxiliary Brain.

After leaving St. Peter's Basilica, Yan Fei immediately joined the crowd to visit the adjacent Vatican Museum. The Vatican Museum is also one of the Vatican's famous structures, with a vast display space, including the renowned Sistine Chapel, considered the fourth largest art temple in Europe. The museum's total area is 55,000 square meters, originally serving as the Papal Court, primarily for collecting and preserving rare cultural relics and art treasures.
