1074 Demon Corruptor, everyone is in action
When William went to his cabin with a cargo in his arms, it was only five o'clock in the morning on the London side, and six o'clock in the morning on the Roman side, which was too early for most Romans.
In a country where you have to delay your last shift for an hour and take it for granted that you are late, don't expect people to wake up early at this point in time, except for fitness.
Today, however, there is something special about the fact that somewhere in the city of Rome, thousands of people are gathered in a small city, waiting for the Illuminati to carry out the ceremony of electing a new leader.
As the presiding officer of the ceremony, Strauss, the leader of the ascetic order, asked Seaman, who had become his assistant, with a worried and uneasy face,
"Hasn't His Majesty replied to us?"
Ten minutes ago, they received news that the four candidates for the head of the Illumination Sect had disappeared from their residence.
This caused the Holy See of Light, which was waiting to elect a new leader, to immediately become a mess.
"No", Seaman shook his head, looked at Strauss with a worried face and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The latest report says that half an hour ago, there was a young man with Wilson who could not be identified.
Parking in the English Channel on a yacht, His Majesty may not have time to mind our business."
"Shut up, Seaman, you have been blinded by your own stupidity and ignorance", Strauss, who was also flustered in his heart, said with an affirmative expression on his face,
"John Wick's anomaly can even be detected by us, and it is unreasonable that His Majesty can't find it, perhaps, he is waiting for the demons to act, and the target is not the ordinary demon that our people are concerned about."
"Yes, please forgive me for being rude, Your Excellency", seeing Strauss say this, Seaman quickly nodded and admitted his mistake.
But what is really in the heart, then only God knows.
"Then do we need to send people to help the secular guards and police find the four kidnapped candidates?"
Strauss was silent for a long time before he said, "I always have a feeling that it is most likely that the kidnappers of those four candidates are not humans, but demons.
in order to distract our men from protecting John Wick."
"But those four bishops are all candidates for the head of the Protestant Church, so are we really going to face the dilemma of having to elect the new head again?"
"If all this cannot be avoided, it is also God's will, and it is a test for us."
"Or, or not."
Before Seaman could finish speaking, Strauss shook his head affirmatively, "We are already members of the Knights of the Light, and it is impossible for us to intervene in the secular world and be the only candidate."
"But in the current situation, only you are qualified," Seaman said anxiously.
"Have you thought about it, Seaman," Strauss asked with a calm face, "what will the other bishops think if I am the only candidate?
What's even more terrifying is what His Majesty Devon Hill will think."
After Strauss finished speaking, he silently returned to the huge cross, knelt on the ground and prayed, "For the future of the Pencetry and the future of the Knights of the Holy Light, I refuse your proposal."
"Yes, Your Excellency".
Seaman, who had been convinced, bowed to Strauss and slowly retreated away.
For Strauss, what he just said was true, but there was one more, and the most important one, he didn't say,
That is, the longevity that William once talked about.
Human life is nothing more than fame and fortune, but fame and fortune seem so pale in the face of lifespan.
He is over 70 years old, and he has been rejuvenated by the holy light released by William, and he has experienced a new life of Strauss.
The only thought now is probably to follow William and spread the light so that he can live a little longer.
And he had no choice but William.
After praying for two hours, he did not receive the slightest response from the angels or heaven, and at the same time he was disappointed and at the same time more determined to follow William.
I silently thought in my heart, fifteen centuries ago, there was no such thing as angels in the Illuminati Sect, and it was not until one day that a man with white wings appeared, and the legend of angels came out of the mouths of their believers, and the statue of angels officially entered the church.
Since angels can appear suddenly, they may also disappear, maybe it's time to change your perspective and find someone againγγγ
As soon as this idea came out, Strauss hurriedly shook his head, shook off this thought in his heart, knelt on the mat and silently repented in a hurried tone.
In a dungeon only two kilometers away from Strauss, Ilsov, who was only in his early twenties, was not only full of gray hair at this time, but also looked at least twenty years old.
Seeing Ilsov come in with a soldering iron, the four candidates who were locked up in the dungeon held their crosses and said loudly, "Devil, you repent of your sins now, and God may forgive you."
Hearing this, Ilsov threw down the soldering iron in his hand, took off his hood, and showed a pale and bloodless face, "I'm sorry, if God really exists, then he won't care about my past crimes, but what I'm going to do next."
"Hey, hey, hey", seeing the bishop of the Illumination in his cell, his face bloodless from his fright, Ilsov let out a sharp, hoarse sinister laugh.
"Do you know why I became this ghost?"
Stretching out his pale palm and looking at the nails like five sharp claws, Ilsov said proudly and frantically, "As long as you complete the task of Lord Mephisto,
I will be able to gain more power, not only to avenge John Wick, who should have gone to hell but was blessed by Gabriel, but also to take out William Devonhill, who is admired by all."
"Father, I will definitely avenge you, I will", Ilsov, who was crazy in his face, grasped the iron fence, and as the rot marks appeared on his face, the iron fence he was holding was slowly oxidized and rusted,
It eventually turned into a mass of rust that leaked through the cracks in his palms.
"See, this is the power that Master Mephisto has given me", shaking off the rust from his hand, Ilsov roared, "I am the Corruptor, John Wick, and I will rot him into a pile of pus, and then drag you to hell with my own hands."
At this time, John Wick was getting up and freshening up. Judging from the reflection in the mirror, although this guy has lost a lot of weight, his face is more ruddy, and his eyes are not as decadent and depressed as when his wife died, but rather give people a new life.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells".
A phone call came from the living room, John Wick quickly left the bathroom, picked up the phone and looked at it, and saw that the caller ID was marked with Helen, and the corners of his mouth were crooked to reveal a big smile.
Press the answer button and say in a soft tone of strength, "Hey, Helen, are you ready?"
"I'm sorry, John, I may not be able to have breakfast with you", the female voice on the other end of the line explained equally gently,
"I just received a notice from the bank that something unexpected seems to have happened to the Holy See of Light, and I have to assist the bank manager and my colleagues to retrieve a huge amount of cash together."
"That's right," John Wick sighed in disappointment, and then listened to the woman on the other end of the phone, "How about I promise to have dinner with you when this is done?"
Hearing that they were having dinner together, John Wick smiled again and said happily, "Okay, no problem, we'll be in touch in the afternoon, stay safe, Helen."
"It's all right, John, I don't have to be in the same car with the escorts, there are really robbers, and they won't beat our minds, see you in the evening, dear John Wick."
"See you in the evening, Helen".
When the other party hung up the phone, John Wick put down the phone with a smile on his face.
Just a short answer of dear, let him be happy and decide to do it himself, make himself a breakfast, and practice his hands by the way.
Looking forward to one day being able to make a loving breakfast for your beloved.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong".
Breakfast had just been made when a doorbell rang, and the plate was placed on the table, and John wiped his hands on his apron and went to open the door.
After seeing from the surveillance screen that it was a chubby, bald middle-aged man in a priest's uniform, John smiled and pressed the door button, opened the door, and stood outside the door to watch the chubby priest pass by the garden and walk over.
"Hennessy, come to me so early, are you planning to quit drinking without a hangover?"
"Hell, you bastard, I told you not to call me Hennessy, if His Excellency Strauss heard, he would definitely have all the wine I had hidden at home empty."
"It's okay, your wine is gone, you can come to me to drink, and it just so happened that I asked Sunday to help me buy a dozen cases of this year's new wine from Monsieur Devonhill's winery, as if there was a brandy made from grapes by Latour's sub-brand."
"Really?" the fat priest, who had been nicknamed Hennessy by John Wick, pushed him into the villa with bright eyes, "Hurry up and give me a bottle, and then we'll drive to Budapest."
"What to do in Hungary?"
John, who was still thinking about having dinner with his new acquaintance, Helen, of course didn't want to go to Budapest, which was eight or nine hundred kilometers away in a straight line.
If he really went, he wouldn't want to come back today.
But it's so far away, why don't you make a plane?" John was wondering, Hennessy smiled and said,
"Didn't you keep telling us that you wanted to meet the demon-possessed people in person?
"Hurry up and bring the wine, let's talk as we go", the fat man Hennessy saw the breakfast on the table, and took the plate unceremoniously and ate it with a fork.
"Phew, phew, phew".
Hennessy, who rushed to the trash can and spit out the food in his mouth, complained loudly, "God, are you using salt as sugar?"
"Is there one?" John Wick grabbed a piece of sorbet from his plate and put it in his mouth, and soon he silently pulled out a tissue and spit out the sorbet in his mouth.
Embarrassed, he said to Hennessy, "Let's go out for breakfast and talk about the rest."
"Come on, how can I have time to eat breakfast, just buy some fast food and eat it in the car."
With Seaman's instructions, John William must be taken out of Rome, away from Hennessy, who may be at risk, and who can't even drink wine, helps John Wick with his coat and pulls him out of the villa.
"Wait, wait, it's better to go by car than to fly."
Although he didn't want to give up the rare exorcism mission, John Wick, who was bent on a date at night, said to Hennessy,
"It's at least eight or nine hours by car, and by the time we get to Budapest, it's already night, do you want to perform an exorcism at night?"
Hennessy, who has long said it, said, "You don't want to think about what day it is, let alone planes, even the trains, Eurostar tickets are all sold out, we go up there to buy tickets".
"Then charter a flight", John Wick said to Sunday, covering his ears, "Sunday, can you help me rent a small private jet and fly non-stop to Budapest?"
"No problem, Mr. Wick", replied within five seconds of Sunday before replying that the plane had been leased and that the captain would be waiting for them in the VIP room.
"Let's go", patting the somewhat stunned Hennessy, John Wick laughed, "Don't forget that I have worked for Mr. Devon Hill for five years, and I don't have much savings, but it is still trivial to rent a plane."
Hennessy, who had an alternative in mind, quickly came back to his senses, "God, you don't have much savings?"
Looking at the villa John Wick bought in Rome with displeasure, he couldn't earn half of it all his life as a pastor for just two million dollars.
And the matter here was soon passed on Sunday to William, who had just fallen asleep.
William, who was listening to Sunday's report in a daze, immediately opened his eyes when he heard that the four candidates had been taken away and that the ascetic people could not contact him and planned to take John Wickla to Budapest in order to avoid the possible risks.
Letting go of the mountain that was clenched in both hands, he cast the Sleep Curse on Hazel, before saying to Sunday,
"Help me connect to that fat guy named Hennessy".
"Understood, sir".
Just as he was thinking of a backup plan to get the ascetics of Budapest ready to attack a vampire lair after John Wick's exorcism was successful, in order to hold John Wick's Hennessy back, he suddenly heard a cell phone ringing.
He was frightened by the ghost, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and as soon as he connected it, he heard a voice from the microphone that he couldn't forget.
As an ascetic who accompanied Strauss to meet Wilhelm and also wore a demon-breaking ring on his hand, Hennessy forgot the voice of his parents, and he would not forget Wilhelm's voice.
"Can you hear me? Don't get John Wick's attention."
"Yes, yes," said William before Hennessy could say more, "John Wick must stay with that bone demon named Helen, and my target is Mammon, understand?"
"Clear, understood, Your Excellency".
Hearing the word bone demon, the fat priest whose heart was beating violently also reacted, since William clearly said that Helen was a bone demon, it means that Strauss's guess was right,
And Seaman and he almost ruined William's plan.
When he was remorseful, before he could explain, William said, "Take John Wick to Budapest and return to Rome after exorcising the demons, and don't make any more trouble."
"Understood, Your Excellency", Hennessy, who had thought clearly, returned to his usual tone, secretly glanced at John Wick who was driving, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will not only be able to get to Budapest on time,
I could get five or six hours early, because I was planning a charter flight with a rich man."
