Everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, only to see Mai Ke striding over.

The fighters stopped, stopped shouting, and swarmed to meet them.

It's not that Mai Ke really has so much authority over them that he forbids it, but these people are worried about Mai Ke's life and death, and when they see him alive again, they put everything else aside.

After a period of rambling, Mai Ke told them about his current situation and thanked them for coming all the way to see him.

Then he asked them, "What just happened?"

Peter pointed at Zhang Yuan and the others, and shouted: "These people dare to call you little brother, I want to teach them a lesson for my eldest brother!"

Zhang Yuan and the others laughed helplessly when they heard him still say this.

"What was the result?" asked Mai Ke with a smile.

"It didn't work. Peter had to answer truthfully.

"It also lets you know that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. McKe said to Peter.

"Is this guy okay?" asked Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan nodded: "The foundation is good, and there is great potential." ”

"It's really a family that doesn't recognize a family. Mai Ke walked to the conference room on the top floor and said to everyone, "Come on." There are important things to tell. ”

After everyone sat down, Mai Ke told everyone about the joint construction of the special brigade that he had negotiated with General John and Old Man Hong.

"All of you here are the core members I specifically requested, how about it, is there a problem?"

"No problem!" everyone stood up.

"As long as you follow Big Brother, you can go anywhere!" Peter added.

"That's it, where does the little brother point to fight. Brother Eleven also said loudly.

Eleventh Brother is the youngest of the members of the Brotherhood Alliance, except for Mai Ke, and he is also twenty-four years old, but he was born a few days early.

His name is Chen Yucheng. He is also a strong martial artist, full of vitality, and a favorite of everyone, in addition to loving Mai Ke and being a big brother, those members of the Brotherhood League who are older than him have been tricked by him.

"It's little brother again!" muttered Peter, but his voice was deliberately lowered.

"I'm their little brother, they're all my big brother. ”

Mai Ke took the opportunity to introduce the Brotherhood Alliance to the members of the Concentric Pact, and also introduced the Concentric Deed to the Brotherhood Alliance.

"From now on, we will be a family, although we didn't know each other before, from now on, you both treat each other like me, understand?"

"I don't understand!" Peter again.

The people of the same heart laughed, and several of the brothers couldn't help laughing.

"You're stupid. Paul said. "In the future, you can just call these Chinese friends big brother. ”

Peter was still full of suspicion, looked at Mai Ke, and saw him nod in affirmation, before he said depressedly, "Big brother said, I will do it." ”

Then Mai Ke explained the purpose and task of this special brigade.

It is to gather the top elites and work closely together on behalf of the two countries to deal with the most urgent incidents, including terrorist attacks, outer space dangers, hostage rescue, and so on.

Normally, they are on standby while training, and can only be mobilized by a special directive signed by a joint party.

However, what Mai Ke did not further reveal was that such an order could only be signed by his uncle, grandfather, General John, and grandfather, Old Man Hong.

And the order can only be received by Mai Ke, because he is the only permanent captain of this special brigade.

After listening to it, everyone was a little excited to learn more about some of the new challenges.

Peter didn't bother with what had suddenly become the younger brother of many people, and he was most pleased to have something to do with adventure.

Someone asked where their base was.

"There's no rush for now. Mai Ke pressed the head of the conversation and said, "I'll finish the second thing first, I just said the first thing." The second thing is more important. ”

Is there something more serious?Everyone felt a little unexpected, and waited eagerly for Mai Ke's next step.

At that moment, Mai Ke revealed to everyone the crossing task he had gotten.

During the few days he was stuck in a puddle, Mai Ke had a few more conversations with the voice who spoke to him for the first time and gave him the crossing mission, and he learned more about the crossing mission.

He still has two days from today, and he can make some necessary preparations, including telling those he has chosen to do some relevant content so that they can also make some preparations.

Mai Ke himself needed to make up for the situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a hostile force that the regime faced.

There is a lot of flexibility in these things, and the most important thing is that he needs to be certified as a priest.

The reason is that his grandfather was also a priest, and he went to cross, and this identity cannot be filled indiscriminately.

"Thankfully, I put a lot of effort into theology, otherwise this would have killed me. ”

In this era when exams are a panacea, being a pastor also needs to be limited by the educational process, and the test results also need to be used as a stepping stone.

"I told you a long time ago that you have been preparing for this mission for a long time. The voice took this opportunity to further tell the sù mai ke that this qiē was expected.

"Can you tell us how to get there?" Mai Ke once again tried to verify this crucial link.

"Then you know that you don't have to worry about it. I'm worried that you won't be able to help. The voice replied, teasing Mai Ke by the way.

Mai Ke told his brother everything he knew.

Actually, he doesn't know much. Then he told them to be ready.

There is no need to think about material things, and it is useless to prepare, mainly in terms of knowledge and ability.

As for how to coordinate the relationship between the existence of this world and the existence of the world that will be crossed, everyone also knows nothing.

So Mai Ke ordered, start the timer now, there are still two days, and we will gather here on time the day after tomorrow.

I don't care if you sleep well, or go to gambling, or learn knowledge, just don't delay your departure when the time comes.

Except for the four classmates, everyone else was used to this kind of unexpected situation and could accept orders at any time.

And these classmates have their own jobs, but fortunately they are not married, which is probably part of the preparation.

Since there was not much time, after Mai Ke finished speaking, everyone dispersed in a hurry.

Others can move at will, but Mai Ke doesn't have this choice.

The next morning, accompanied by General John, he went to the Presbyterian church in New York where they were meeting, and negotiated with the presiding elder and senior pastor about ordaining Mai Ke as pastor.

In fact, General John is one of the lifelong elders of this church, but he has a bye this year, not a rotating elder.

As soon as the matter was said, especially when he heard about the time requirement, the senior pastor reluctantly agreed to hold a special examination for Mai Ke, but the presiding elder insisted that it must be discussed and decided by all the elders, because there was no precedent for such a thing.

After several discussions, it was finally decided to take two steps. The senior pastor is in charge of the exam, which ends before two o'clock in the four-hour exam.

In the other step, the presiding elder is responsible for convening all the members of the elder pool, that is, all the rotating elders and the rotating elders, to hold a meeting to decide on Mai Ke's eldership qualifications.

If both steps lead to guò, the ordination ceremony will be held tonight. If there is no step through, the matter is not discussed.

The questions for the exam are randomly selected from the question bank. It consists of five major sections: Biblical Interpretation, Theological System, Shepherding the Congregation, Church History, and Church Government.

The questions in each section have short-answer questions, short essay questions, and essay questions.

Mai Ke, who has four doctorates, is known as an invincible master in the exam, and within four hours, he answered a total of 100 short-answer questions, 25 short-answer questions, and 10 essay questions.

For the most difficult Bible and theological questions for ordinary people, Mai Ke did not find it too laborious, but for those governance questions and pastoral questions, he was exhausted.

For example, one of the governance questions, "how to deal with paganism", this kind of practical response question, made him rack his brains and did not find the ideal answer.

It wasn't until he was almost finished answering that he suddenly realized that one of the main tasks he had crossed over was not to face the challenge of paganism.

It was not at all possible to go back and re-answer or start another time, so he had to hastily write, "Confront it head-on with the truth, and draw hearts with love" as a concluding answer.

By the time he finished his exam, the elders over there had been discussing for more than an hour.

Under the strong appeal of General John, and listening to his briefing on all aspects of the situation of Mai Ke, especially after knowing the reasons why Mai Ke had to be ordained by the priest in this special way, the opposition was very small.

According to John, Mai Ke was about to go on a mission to a foreign country, and that was where their faith had flourished.

The Presbyterian Church has always been a strong supporter of related ministries, so these elders have a strong sense of mission.

When it came time for the final vote, even those who were most opposed at first reluctantly supported it.

In this way, this later step was ahead of the results, giving Mai Ke half the green light to erection.

Not long after, the results of Mai Ke's written test also came out. This is unprecedented.

It turned out that the senior pastor had ten pastors to judge the papers together, and each two pastors were responsible for a part.

The score was that the three sections received perfect marks, especially the theology section, and the answers were so good that the senior pastor who judged the paper couldn't help but be amazed. Even if Mai Ke thinks that the answer is not good, the score is not low.

As a result, Mai Ke passed the written examination for pastoral qualifications with an overall score of excellence.

Although the oral examination and ordination procedures were also challenging, Mai Ke coped with them with ease.

By nine o'clock in the evening, he was officially ordained Presbyterian minister. Of course it's only deputy, and that's the case for anyone at first.

Mai Ke was busy for a while, and after calculation, there were thirteen hours, during which he did not eat, drink, or rest. With his physique, he was a little overwhelmed.

The priests and elders who had been tossing with him for a day, some of them were quite old, and they worked even harder. Therefore, as soon as the results came out, everyone rushed to the Confucius Hotel in Chinatown, ready to feast.

Zhang Yuan: They had already arranged it there.

At 8 p.m. local time on November 14, 2013, a total of 23 members of the Maike Special Brigade gathered in the conference room on the top floor of the Shuangshu Hotel.

Regardless of whether I went to New York or returned to my hometown in the past two days, there was no mistake.

When everyone saw that the time had come, they all looked at Mai Ke and wondered how they could cross it. Mai Ke himself is also at a loss. At this moment, Mai Ke's familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Gone." ”

Like a meteor flashing. I didn't feel any movement, the room, the hotel, the city, the United States, the earth were gone.

In the blink of an eye, Mai Ke and the others had already arrived in another place.

After they were down-to-earth, they looked around and saw that a round of rising sun was rising. There are bursts of smoke, and chickens and dogs smell each other. The trees are shady, and the landscape is longitudinal and horizontal.

A signboard stands at the crossing, with three quaint characters of "Jintian Village" written on it.
