The Vatican, the seat of the Holy See, the legendary closest place to God, is full of sacredness and solemnity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In a room on the second floor, a kind old man with glasses looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked, "Ludwig, Louis, they should be in the United States soon." ”
"Yes, Pope, judging by the timing, they should be near." The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"What do you think of this incident?" The old man continued.
"From the information obtained by the U.S. government, what they say is basically true, and there is indeed an Overseer-level demon coming to the surface, which is a major event that has not happened since the Middle Ages. I think we have to keep an eye on what happens and hopefully it doesn't end up being the worst. ”
"Huh." The old man smiled, "Ludwig, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity, don't you think that the influence of our Catholicism has been declining year by year over the years, although I have been maintaining it through diplomatic channels, but the church is too far away for young people nowadays, and they can't experience the power of God personally." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, think about it, when an ordinary person faces a threat to his life, if someone can rescue them, how memorable it is, think about the scenes in those American hero movies, how much people worship heroes, those are real portrayals of real life, but in reality, most people don't have heroes around them, so isn't this a good opportunity for us." The old man's eyes flashed with sage.
"Oh." Ludwig suddenly realized, and said in an admiring tone: "No wonder you let the knights all wear sacred weapons, this is a god-making movement, right?" ”
The old man smiled and nodded, and spoke again: "Ludwig, don't you think that 77 knights is too little?" I still remember what Stalin said during World War II: 'Pope! How many divisions does he have? It's time for the world to see the power of the Church, and I want them to know that no amount of teachers in their eyes can compare with hundreds of knights of the Holy See. ”
Ludwig asked excitedly and in trepidation, "You mean you're going to mobilize 'them'?" ”
"Hehe, otherwise what is the use of me training them, I don't lack security guards and honor guards, Ludwig, go, I believe you know what to do."
"Yes, Pope, rest assured, I will retire first." Ludwig bent over and trembling and exited the room, having reached his position, who wouldn't want to have more power in his hands.
The old man looked at Ludwig's excited back and smiled even brighter, hehe, what a good hound, a bone hanging from a high place is enough to make him desperate, this is really the best of times, but also the worst of times, God willing.
At Washington Dulles International Airport, a passenger plane with cross-painted wings and tail landed on a dedicated runway, and after coming to a stop, a group of men in black priest uniforms walked down the gangway under the guidance of David.
Descending to the ground, several black SUVs and a bus had already stopped here, and a group of men in black suits nodded when they saw David.
David nodded at him, then turned back to the man in charge and said, "Mr. Louis, please take a car with me, your team can make a bus." “
The tall middle-aged man, who was formerly known as the Inquisition and is now known as the Secretary General of the Department of the Theory of Faith, Louis? Lataglia? Feller replied with a blank face, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'll sit with my teammates." ”
David smiled awkwardly, "Okay then, then I'll take the bus with you too." ”
The man named Louis didn't say anything more, but took the lead and got on the bus, and the thirty-three members of the team behind him also followed him into the bus in silence. David waved at his men, motioned for departure, and then turned and boarded the bus.
Seeing David like a tour guide, several of his subordinates couldn't help but show angry expressions, "Phew, what the hell, I really think of myself as a character, do you think it's still the era of divine authority of kings." ”
"Forget it, when the time comes, they should be exposed to their true form, and it's not too late to laugh at them when the time comes."
The bus drove along the highway towards the city, David did everything possible to talk to Louis, but unfortunately it was not very effective, as on the plane, Louis just had a perfunctory ride with him, and the knights of the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine behind him sat precariously and did not say a word.
As David asked if it was necessary to establish a permanent residency in Washington, Louis interrupted: "Excuse me, Mr. David, it's prayer time, please allow me to miss me for a moment." After speaking, he didn't wait for David's response, he closed his eyes, crossed his hands in front of his chest, David looked at the posture and the other party was unwilling to speak anymore, so he had to sit back in his seat provocatively.
The convoy continued to drive, and suddenly two cars parked on the side of the road not far ahead caught the attention of the detectives, the two cars themselves were fine, but the doors were wide open, the front windshield was shattered, and there was no trace of the driver in and around the car.
The detective in the co-pilot of the lead car pulled out his pistol and said in the headset: "Attention, something seems to be wrong ahead. ”
The convoy slowly stopped on the side of the road, and David got out of the car and came to the front as soon as possible, "What's going on?" ”
"I don't know sir, it's just that the car door in this wilderness is wide open, and I'm afraid there will be some emergencies."
David also pulled out his gun and gave the order: "Disperse the encirclement, pay attention to the surrounding woods." ”
All the agents raised their guns and slowly approached the two cars.
A sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and David turned his head sharply to see that Secretary General Louis, who had always been cold to him, actually walked out of the bus with six team members.
"Mr. Louis, please get back in the car, we'll take care of it here." At this moment, David is a little displeased, you ignore me when I talk to you, there will be a case, but you come to add to the chaos.
Unfortunately, the clergyman of the Holy See still ignored him, and just stared straight at the grove.
David's face darkened, and he was ready to speak a little tougher, the clay man still has three points of earthiness, what is the matter with you guy ignoring me all day long, even if I invite you, I am a director of the dignified federal government.
This time, before David could speak, Louis opened his mouth first: "Mr. David, please don't let your subordinates get any closer to that wood, let them come back quickly, it should be our job next." ”
"You mean, there's a demon here?" Seeing that Louis nodded, David's face became even more ugly, the demons have already infiltrated the suburbs of Washington, so is there any safe place in the whole United States, damn, just take the opportunity to see their strength clearly, and then let them protect the president.
