Chapter 1911: The Pope Comes to the Town
Soon, more than half an hour had passed.
After a loud rumble, the passage finally fell silent, and no more sound came out.
Jason, who stayed in the confession cell, all breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little.
However, they soon became nervous again, and one by one they looked worriedly at the entrance to the secret passage at the bottom of the pit.
Before, when there were all kinds of strange noises coming from the depths of the secret passage, they were nervous, but now that those strange noises were all gone, and the secret passage was completely quiet, they were even more nervous.
After only a moment of effort, some people couldn't bear it anymore, and they were ready to pick up the walkie-talkie and ask about the situation in the depths of the secret passage to see if Ye Tian was still alive.
At this moment, Ye Tian's voice suddenly came out of the walkie-talkie, and it sounded a little excited.
"Guys, I have successfully passed through the secret passage and entered the secret room behind the stone door, and I have not been harmed in the slightest, so you can rest assured.
I triggered all the traps in the secret passages, and the crossbow arrows and javelins that the Templars had placed in those traps were almost gone.
However, there are still many vicious flap traps in this secret passage, which are very deadly, so you can't enter the secret passage for the time being, so wait patiently for a while!"
"Whew"
Everyone in the confessional cell breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved, and a big smile bloomed on everyone's face.
"Wow, Steven, what's the deal with that rumbling sound just now? It sounds like thunder, and when that sound fades away, you don't make a sound, and we're all scared."
David picked up the walkie-talkie and said, full of emotion and curiosity.
The others in the confessional cell were the same, they were all full of curiosity, they all wanted to know what was going on in the depths of the secret passage, what Ye Tian had discovered, and whether the Knights Templar treasure was hidden here?
"That rumbling sound? it was the sound of rolling stones, a vicious trap behind the stone door, each of which was big and heavy enough to crush an adult into meat sauce.
Luckily, I found it in time, avoided the rolling stone trap, and was safe, and when you enter this secret passage, you will be frightened to see those huge rolling stones.
After dodging those huge rolling stones, the reason why I didn't make a sound was because I was so stunned by everything in this underground palace that I lost the ability to speak!"
Ye Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie again, and his tone was full of surprise.
Before the words fell, the Bishop of Kent could not wait to say:
"Steven, tell us what you found, is it the Knights Templar treasure hidden in that underground palace, are there any long-lost Christian relics in it?"
With the words of the Bishop of Kent, everyone in the confessional cell suddenly became nervous, and one by one they looked expectantly at the entrance of the secret passage at the bottom of the pit and at the walkie-talkie in their hands.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie and reached everyone's ears.
"Rest easy, Bishop of Kent, when I return to the confessional cell, you will know what I have found in this underground palace, and it will be for your benefit and me to keep it a secret.
But I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you can call the Vatican and ask the security personnel in charge of the support to leave and come to London immediately, or even have His Holiness the Pope come to London in person.
You'd better be prepared for the next day, if not a few days, to be very long, and none of us can leave until this treasure is cleared."
Although Ye Tian was silent and did not say what was hidden in the palace deep underground, his words still detonated the entire confessional cell.
"Wow! What kind of treasure is it? It is an exaggeration to have to send not only the Vatican security personnel who are responsible for the support, but also His Majesty the Pope himself to come to London to take charge!"
"Needless to say, hidden in that palace deep underground must be the treasures of the Knights Templar, which must include some legendary Christian relics"
Everyone was excitedly discussing, and everyone had a bright smile and ecstasy on their faces.
The Bishop of Kent was stunned for a moment, and then said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Okay, Steven, I'll contact the Vatican right away, and ask the diplomats and the security personnel in charge of support to leave immediately and come to London, as for whether His Holiness the Pope can come, it is up to him to decide"
"This is the best, the sooner the Vatican arrives, the better, in addition, what I just said must be kept strictly confidential, and it must not be leaked, let alone let those British outsiders know.
The British are no better than the Cypriots, and if the British get the news and insist on breaking into here, with our current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop those guys, in that case, it will be a big problem."
"No problem, we will never leak information, even when contacting the Vatican, I will pay attention to confidentiality and will not leak information easily.
Steven, when are you coming up? I can't wait to see what you've discovered, and I'm sure everyone here is the same."
"When will I come up? I can't say yet, but it will take me a lot of time to thoroughly explore this underground palace, eliminate hidden dangers, and find a secret passage to the Thames."
"Alright then, you stay safe, we're waiting for you to return triumphantly"
After that, Bishop Kent took out his mobile phone, walked quickly out of the confessional cell, and went to the nearby basement to call the Vatican and the Pope himself.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, Ye Tian's voice came from the wireless invisible earphones and entered Jason's ears, and he was the only one who heard it.
"Jason, it's time for the backhand we've prepared to unfold, let those guys who have infiltrated London go, find a way to get closer to here, and be ready to support us at any time.
The ships parked on the Thames can also be dispatched, and if necessary, I will sneak away from the Thames with the most important treasures and get rid of the British.
One more thing, you immediately contact the old Wilson guy from Raytheon Security and ask all the armed security personnel of Raytheon's UK branch to assemble and stand by.
If possible, let those guys start rallying near the temple church now, ready to support us, or cover our evacuation from here as soon as possible."
Hearing his words, Jason's face immediately flashed with ecstasy.
But he didn't respond loudly, but lightly tapped the wireless invisible earphones in his ear with his finger, which was considered a response.
Immediately afterwards, the kid also took out his mobile phone, walked out of the confessional cell quickly, and began to contact the outside world.
As he and the Bishop of Kent exchanged phone calls, a storm that shook the British Isles and the entire Western world was rapidly brewing and would soon engulf the entire Western world.
The intercom was silent, so was the confessional cell, but the outside world was already turbulent.
Thousands of kilometers away in the Vatican, the Pope, who had finished talking to the Bishop of Kent, just hung up the phone and immediately summoned several henchmen into the office to discuss the response strategy.
Ten minutes later, a huge motorcade left the Vatican and sped towards Leonardo da Vinci International Airport on the outskirts of Rome.
In the back seat of a bulletproof sedan in the center of the convoy sat the Pope himself, with a red face, a look of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
In the rest of the vehicles sat a number of high-ranking Vatican clergy and diplomats, as well as fifty or sixty heavily armed Swiss Guards.
In the city of London, more than a dozen armed security guards who had sneaked into London were gathering around the Temple Church by various means, on foot or by different means of transport.
On the River Thames, two ordinary pleasure boats are slowly approaching from different directions upstream and downstream, aiming for the closest stretch of the river to the temple church.
Without exception, all these people and ships were all under Ye Tian's orders, and they were all his backhands prepared in advance, just in case.
At the same time, all the security personnel of the British branch of Raytheon were all moving, one by one, fully armed, and set off in cars, heading straight for the center of London.
Prince William, who was in the Temple Church, and the other Brits, as well as several high-ranking officials of Scotland Yard, were at a loss at this time, still eagerly watching the basement entrance.
"What did that amazing guy Steven find, and why hasn't it come out yet, and there's no news coming out?"
"Who knows, but whatever he finds, Knights Templar treasures or other treasures, don't try to hide it from our eyes, there are two basement exits, both within our field of vision."
Just when these British Yankees were talking, Jason and David, who were in the confession cell, were all staring at the entrance of the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, waiting for Ye Tian's figure to appear again.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty minutes passed.
Just when everyone was waiting anxiously, suddenly, there was a sound of snorting footsteps from the depths of the secret passage again, which sounded extremely pleasant.
The moment the footsteps were heard, there was a cheer in the confessional cell.
"Great, Steven is coming out!"
"Wow! I don't have to suffer anymore, it tastes so bad."
Before the cheers fell, Ye Tian's figure had already appeared at the bottom of the secret passage, and the light of the headlamp he was wearing also projected from the bottom of the secret passage and shone on the ceiling of the confessional cell.
