Chapter 1935: A Thousand Shots
The atmosphere at the residence where the Pope and his entourage were staying was extremely tense.
Whether it's the hordes of London police officers on duty on the streets outside, or the heavily armed Swiss Guards inside the building, everyone is on high alert and ready to respond.
And in the suite where the Pope lived, a senior monk from the Vatican was reporting on the latest situation, his face very ugly.
"Your Majesty, the frightened crowd outside the Temple Church has stormed the inside of the church, and according to our people, it was Steven who ordered the church door to be opened and people were put in."
Hearing this, the Pope immediately exclaimed.
"Ahh
Not only the Pope, but also the Queen of England, Prince Charles and Prince William, who received the news at about the same time, and everyone else, all exclaimed, as if they could not believe their ears.
A discerning person can see at a glance that this is a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, and that guy Steven is notoriously cunning, so there's no reason not to see this!
Unless he has something else in mind, or is playing some tricks!
But for a while, no one could guess what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd!
At this time, the temple church had been opened, and the frightened people poured into the temple church like a flood.
As soon as the Swiss Guards who opened the doors of the temple church and rushed in were the first to enter, they found that the situation had changed a lot.
The rows of benches near the church gate have been moved to either side, freeing up a fairly spacious open space that could be used as a buffer zone.
After passing through the outer hall and entering the middle temple, the furniture that was originally standing against the wall has all been put to the ground, and the rows of benches have also been completely disrupted.
Of course, this must be accompanied by no small amount of damage, but this loss is not worth mentioning at all.
All these pieces of furniture and benches formed a series of obstacles on the ground, and anyone who wanted to rush into the Middle Temple had to slow down and patiently navigate around them.
As long as the speed is reduced, the powerful impact of the surging crowd behind it will no longer exist.
Next, you can calm people's emotions and stop them from panicking, and then you can start to find out those bastards hiding in the crowd!
Seeing the situation in the temple church, those heavily armed Swiss Guards immediately understood that this was obviously the work of Steven's guy, and it was the wisest strategy to deal with it at the moment.
It's only been a little longer since the explosion, and that guy Steven actually came up with such a coping strategy and quickly put it into practice, which is not admirable!
While secretly sighing and praising them, the footsteps of these Swiss Guards members did not pause in the slightest.
They strode through the outer temple and rushed straight into the middle temple.
Next, relying on the collapsed furniture on the ground and the benches, they quickly built a solid line of defense, together with several security personnel who had been guarding the area before.
The people who rushed into the temple church immediately after him naturally saw the changes in the church, and people felt that the place was safe, so the speed of the impact naturally slowed down.
When the fear gradually subsided, people regained a little bit of rationality.
The fellows who were in the crowd and inciting the people to storm, and the other scheming ones, couldn't help but stomp their feet and curse secretly when they saw the changes in the church.
Of course, they were not willing to let the onslaught stop, and the crowd rushed into the inner temple where the Knights Templar's treasures were kept, which was what they wanted to see.
Just as these guys were about to speak out again, trying to trick the crowd into continuing to rush in, someone took the lead and ruthlessly exposed their plot!
As soon as the surging crowd rushed into the temple church, Ye Tian's high-pitched and clear voice came through the hand-held megaphone, which reached everyone's ears and resounded throughout the temple church.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Steven, and I inform you of an incident, the violent explosion that occurred on Fleet Street was by no means a terrorist attack, but a deliberate explosion.
The people who deliberately caused the explosion were not terrorists, and the purpose of those scum to make the explosion was very simple, that is, to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the temple church, and everyone must not be deceived.
Remind everyone, pay attention to the people around you, if there is still someone who tricks everyone to continue to attack at this time, then he is likely to be the scum who caused the explosion, everyone find him out"
With Ye Tian's words, the speed of the crowd's forward impact immediately slowed down, and the momentum of the impact was rapidly subsiding.
At the same time, many people quickly came back to their senses, and they were indeed deceived just now, and without thinking, they followed the crowd and rushed towards the temple church, without thinking much about it.
Steven's right, he was being used by others, used as a gun, and the guys who bewitched and used him might be standing by his side.
Thinking of this, many people's footsteps suddenly became slower, and they looked at the others around them in annoyance, trying to find the guy who had bewitched them.
The London policemen who were dragged into the temple church by the crowd rolled their eyes in anger and kept scanning the crowd around them, ready to find out those who deliberately caused chaos and teach them a good lesson!
Seeing this situation, the guys who were originally ready to make a noise and induce people to continue to attack deeper into the temple church dared to make a noise, and they were all silent.
And these guys reacted quickly, and they all quickly changed their positions, so as not to be recognized and found out directly, and the scene was not very good.
Without the slightest pause, Ye Tianqing's voice still kept coming, continuing to soothe people's emotions.
"One more piece of news, Prince Charles and Prince William will be rushing to the Temple Church soon, you can think about it, if there is a terrorist attack on Fleet Street, Prince Charles will still come here?"
Before the words fell, a London policeman who passively rushed into the church immediately said in a loud voice:
"Steven is right, we have just received a notification that Prince Charles and Prince William are about to arrive at the Temple Church, so let's be on alert, so it can be seen that there is no terrorist attack on Fleet Street!"
The speed of the people's feet became slower and slower, and the people who poured into the temple church had to slow down and follow the flow of people into the temple church.
At the same time, many people were annoyed and discussed.
"Fake! That bastard was just bewitching Lao Tzu, scare Lao Tzu enough, don't let me see that bastard, otherwise he must be good-looking!"
"The person who shouted about the terrorist attack just now seems to be a guy dressed as a monk, and where did that guy run away, there is a kind of standing up and shouting twice"
In the midst of the discussion, many people looked at everyone around them in annoyance, except for their friends and policemen, everyone else seemed to be bastards with evil intentions!
After a pause, Ye Tian's voice came again, continuing to soothe people's hearts.
"Now that you have entered the temple church, for the sake of safety, let's stay in the church for the time being, and when the situation outside is stable, we will leave here and go back to our homes.
I hope that everyone will abide by the order, obey the management of the police on the scene, and never be bewitched and used by anyone again, which will definitely outweigh the losses, and may even take your life.
Again, don't trust any stranger around you, don't listen to their demagoguery, do something stupid, and if someone bewitches you, point them out immediately.
We have set up many obstacles in the Middle Shrine and the Inner Shrine, and it is impossible for anyone to rush through these obstacles, but it may cause a stampede, so please be calm.
In case someone shoots, don't run into the depths of the church, you can see those obstacles, you can't rush at all, the best option is to turn around and rush out of the church!"
With Ye Tian's words, the people who poured into the temple church finally stopped, and everyone's mood gradually stabilized, and they were not so frightened.
The people who stopped all stood in the open space on the outer nave of the temple church, under the colonnades on both sides of the church, and in other vacant places, looking at each other!
Some clever fellows have already begun to retreat, trying to get out of the temple church as quickly as possible.
At this moment, this is a veritable powder keg, and it only takes a little spark for a violent explosion!
This situation is obviously not what those ill-intentioned guys in the crowd want to see.
Only when the situation is chaotic will they be able to fish in troubled waters and get close to the treasures of the Knights Templar stored in the inner temple, as well as the Christian relics.
Just as they were about to make trouble again and sneak into the inner temple while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos, a burst of cheers suddenly came from outside the temple church, reaching everyone's ears.
"Guys, Prince Charles' motorcade is here, and the police have issued an emergency bulletin, the violent explosion that just happened on Fleet Street is not a terrorist attack, everyone don't worry!"
Before the cheers had fallen, a large number of heavily armed London policemen and soldiers had forced their way in from both sides of the temple church door.
As soon as they entered the church, the guys quickly dispersed, surrounded the crowd that had poured into the church, and stared at the crowd with fierce eyes.
At the same time, Ye Tian also received the news that Prince Charles had arrived at the Temple Church.
After hanging up Prince William's phone, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Guys, be vigilant, Prince Charles and Prince William are here, and when they enter the Temple Chapel, those guys hiding in the crowd may be making trouble again.
Outside the church, as well as in the outer hall, Prince Charles, their safety is the responsibility of the British, and when they enter the middle temple and the inner temple, the safety is our responsibility, everyone must be careful.
Leonardo, Prince Charles, when they entered the Middle Temple, except for Prince William and those experts and scholars, the rest of them were all stopped, and they could only bring a maximum of two royal security personnel.
Not only should you be careful of the guys in the crowd in the outer temple, but you should also be careful of the windows in the middle temple and the inner temple, each of which may be a breakthrough.
I can't trust the London policemen and soldiers guarding outside the Templar Church, we can only rely on ourselves to protect the treasures of the Knights Templar and protect those holy relics!"
"Okay, Steven"
There was a sound of response over the intercom, each voice full of confidence.
