Chapter 472: Interrogation
The picture on the public screen was transferred to Los Angeles, where the riot took place, and through the camera in the hands of the reporter, Shangjo saw that the road that was enough to pass several cars was already full of people at the moment, and at the front of the crowd, there were indignant people holding billboards with the words "School Park City" lit and waving overhead, and they were moving slowly along the road according to the route that had already been decided, and the traffic of the entire city was already blocked in their eyes, and large pieces of garbage were left on the ground where people passed, dirty and chaotic.
"It seems that foreign countries are not necessarily safe!"
Mikoto Misaka also looked up at the display screen on the airship's belly, although she had expected it, but the situation displayed on the screen still surprised her.
The white man with his head covered in gauze had been carried onto the ambulance on a stretcher, but he still drew a cross on his chest despite the dark red of the gauze on his head: on a bench by the side of the road, a mother with a face covered in black and ash was holding her child with her bruised arms, desperately trying to get out of the ambulance, and the nuns in tattered clothes and the priest with a bruised nose and swollen face were desperately trying to get out of the chaotic street.
Whether it is the perpetrator or the victim, they are just ordinary people, ordinary people who have nothing to do with superpowers and magic.
Although the participants in the procession were Roman Orthodox believers, with silver crosses hanging from their necks and reciting the teachings of the Bible, it was easy to imagine that they had nothing to do with Fang Hong and the Commander-in-Chief of their hostile Roman Orthodox Church, the 'Right Seat of God', they might just be ordinary students or office workers, or ordinary people who went to church to worship and pray on weekends according to their teachings, and they would even be afraid of things like magic and superpowers, yes...... It's just such ordinary people.
"Without being instructed by anyone, they simply went on to demonstrate spontaneously out of anger...... Faith is a terrible existence. The junior high school girl with short brown hair sighed and said with a little emotion.
But it's useless to feel emotional, after all, Shangjo and the others are children, and the world of adults is not something that children can interfere with.
"Religion!"
"By the way, Misaka-san, it seems that I haven't seen Fang Hongjun recently, and there is no one in his dormitory when I go to him, do you know where he went?"
When she said Fang Hong, Mei Qin's heart suddenly lifted, and the worry in her eyes became more and more obvious.
"That guy, he's going home, and it doesn't take until about the tenth to come back. ”
……
About a little further away from the center of London, there is an artisan street selling shoes, hats, clothing, accessories, etc., and a black-clad magician with long dyed red hair came out of one of the shops.
As the people in the shop did not like the smell of cigarettes, the young magician took a cigarette from his wide black priest's robe, hid his fingers slightly, and lit a fire with his back to the passers-by on his back. The red glow of the cigarette butt was evident in the dim air of London, and the red glow on the tip of the cigarette became brighter as Steele Magnus took a hard puff......
"It's really unflattering here. ”
Steele let out a puff of gray smoke and muttered.
For the Roman Orthodox Church's invasion of the school city,The British Puritans are not just heard of,Of course,As the cross faction that nominally has the best relationship with the school city,The Puritans naturally can't just watch the two sides really go to war.。
Although the Supreme Bishop had the intention of reaping the benefits of the fisherman, after carefully comparing the interests, Bishop Lola still gave up the idea of watching from the sidelines.
Of course, if you want the Puritans to really exert much effort, it is impossible to say that after all, there are still knights and royalty factions in London who are eyeing each other, and at most they will send the newly joined 'Amakusa' or 'Janis troops' to assist the school city.
You must know that although the British Puritan Church is nominally the state religion of the United Kingdom and is governed by Queen Elizabeth, there is a big gap between them and Japan, another constitutional monarchy, which is completely under the management of the emperor, but in Britain, Queen Elizabeth cannot meddle in the affairs of the Puritan sect at all, she can only use the royal faction in her hands to influence the Puritans, not so much as the leader, but more a transaction.
The power of Puritanism was entirely in the hands of Lola Stuart, the supreme bishop who lived in St. George's Cathedral.
In the suburbs of London, there is a torture tower belonging to St. George's Cathedral, this building is completely black, made entirely of solid rock, in ancient times it was used as a place for the execution of prisoners, it is said that none of the prisoners who entered this door ever came out alive, perhaps this legend aroused people's curiosity, many people are very interested in the place of the legendary beheading, so even if the ticket is now 14 pounds to visit, there will still be a steady stream of tourists during the tourist season.
However, it was not the tourist season, and apart from a few young couples from the Oriental Kingdom who were out on the occasion of the national celebration, Steele did not notice that there were other people here.
Entering the Execution Tower, the red-haired magician walked through the sunlight in the narrow space, through the specially built labyrinth at the bottom of the spiral staircase, to a dark complex full of dampness, where no light shone, no means to drain moisture, and perhaps only a few bean-like flames could bring a little warmth to the damp place.
Steele's right hand dragged slightly, and a red card spontaneously ignited in the palm of his hand, turning into a fireball the size of a bowling ball, the heat of the fireball forced back the humid air, and also replaced the few lights in the corner to illuminate the darkness.
"It's really as depressing as ever!"
Walking through the narrow, dark path, Steele even half-bowed through the walls of the crumbling stones, and the red hair on Steele's head was even a little wet in the flickering flames.
"Thank you, Janiss. ”
The red-haired girl standing beside Steele who hadn't even reached his chest shook her head, although the environment here was indeed not very good, but after all, Yanis's clothes were blessed with relevant magic magic, and the dampness and fog did not have a great impact on her, the girl looked at the tall and red-haired magician, and took the initiative to speak.
"It's okay, but about Lidovia Lorenette (Tuesday of admonition) and Piagio Pusoni (cardinal who controls the 'Queen of the Adriatic') about the two of them......"
The red-haired girl halfway through the road couldn't help but vomit.
Speaking of which, Lidovia and Piagio should both be trophies belonging to Fang Hong, but because of the agreement and transaction between the school city and the Puritans, they were sent here.
"What's the matter, can't you?"
"School City wants to know about the 'God's Right Seat', which is a situation that you don't even know about leading a combat force alone, so we can only verify it with them......"
"No, it's not. ”
Janis shook her head, her twisted hair dangling with the movement of her head, looking as cute as a flower.
"After all, they are clerical nobles, and it will be very difficult to get them to speak!"
In response to Sister Janis's concerns, Steele shrugged and said he didn't care, God knows who he learned from him.
"It doesn't matter, but it's just an opportunity to let you see the Puritan style of doing things, and it might be quicker to blend in!"
The witty red-haired magician led Sister Janis behind her to the black door, pressed her other hand against the heavy wooden door that had absorbed water, and then pushed it hard, and the door opened......
Inside the door is about three square meters of space, very small and cramped, because it is just a simple interrogation room, naturally there are no murder weapons for those terrible Inquisitions, a bed, a table and a few chairs, all the things in the interrogation room. In front of the table, a man and a woman sat there, their arms bound tightly by special iron rings, unable to move.
On the whole, it looks no different from the interrogation room in the police station now, except that it is smaller and more humid.
"Sister Lidovia, Bishop Piagio, both of them are important members of the Roman Orthodox Church, I think what we are going to talk about, you two should probably be clear!"
Steele walked to the chair on the right and sat down, his face full of impatience, and Janis, who had been following him, hugged the clipboard in her arms, and was a little afraid to look at the two who were tied up, not because of anything else, but because Piagio's eyes were so terrible.
However, Steele didn't care about the terrifying gaze of the middle-aged bishop.
That's right, even a 'detached' like Fang Hong would dare to fight against him, and an existence like the Supreme Bishop would chase after him...... What's more, the only thing that stared at him was an ordinary magician like Piagio who had not yet reached that level.
"Don't stare, your eyes are falling out. ”
However, it is understandable that the other party has such a look, after all, after three days and three nights without sleep, Piagio's face is quite poor, his golden hair and skin have lost their luster, and the whole person looks extremely decadent.
"Son, please come back on Sunday if you want to hear the story of the Bible, but now is not ......"
"God's Right Seat, I need to know their information and tell me all you know......"
Steele was not in the mood to be sloppy with him, so he immediately said it bluntly.
