When the last ballot was sung, the audience was silent, and their eyes were all staring at a black-clad priest who was changing the numbers on the big blackboard facing everyone, Caesar had sixty-four votes!

Among the nervous crowd, many of them slumped on the backs of their chairs, gasping for breath and choking with fright. Fortunately, there are still fifteen votes left to be elected, otherwise something big will happen, and the first yellow Chinese pope in the history of the Holy See was almost born, which is thrilling enough.

Thomas's palms were also covered with sweat, and he was also frightened as he twisted the hilt of his sword with both hands, and stared at the leading vote numbers on the blackboard with his pupils constricted. His gaze slowly moved from the blackboard to the stunned Lin Zixian.

Agassi was equally dumbfounded, so many people supported Bishop Caesar, oh my God! What the hell is going on here? His heart gradually raced, if Bishop Caesar became the Pope, was it really possible for him to become the Chief Bishop of the Holy See?

Fifteen cardinals received votes in the first round, but this round shrank to only twelve. The number of votes for almost everyone has shrunk, especially for Chief Bishop Henry, who has gone from thirty-four votes in the first round to twenty-one, a loss of thirteen votes.

Only Bishop Caesar's votes went against the trend and skyrocketed, from two votes in the first round to sixty-four, a 62-vote increase. That is, how can this be the case that more than half of the cardinals support the candidacy of Bishop Caesar?

Henry also stayed there, and asked himself in his heart, how could this be?

Gradually, everyone began to whisper to each other, and everyone gradually came to a conclusion, that is, Bishop Henry's recklessness in the first round made many people sympathize with Caesar, and Bishop Henry's prestige was also ruined by Bishop Caesar in the last round, making everyone embarrassed in public, and many people may not be accustomed to Bishop Henry's behavior. voted for Bishop Caesar's sympathy, which is why there was such a violent counterattack.

After Henry heard everyone's discussion, he also felt so, and turned his head to look at Lin Zixian, his eyes were full of resentment, and he felt that he had been miserable by Lin Zixian.

Lin Zixian had a feeling of being like a dream, which was an expected result, but because of the first game, it became an unexpected result. How so? He couldn't figure it out himself.

Because that night, when he had a secret conversation with Bruce in the middle of the night at the official residence of the President of France, Bruce had told him that he had mastered the sixty-two cardinals of the Holy See. Lin Zixian asked him for the list of sixty-two people, but Bruce refused to give it to him, and Bruce wanted to control it himself.

So sixty-two plus two votes for him and Agassi. It happened to be sixty-four votes, and the result came out with not many votes, but a lot of votes, which just coincided.

However, what he couldn't figure out was why none of the 62 cardinals in the first round voted for him. Could it be that Bruce could have anticipated the election and made detailed arrangements for each cardinal in advance? Otherwise it's too risky. It's possible that someone else will be elected as the pope in the first round.

Simple things, he thought it was complicated, and Bruce couldn't control all the cardinals in the Holy See, not even two-thirds of the number. So Bruce won't take such a risk, and Bruce doesn't want to make trouble for himself, and he won't complicate simple things.

But the truth is as simple as it is complicated, the sixty-two cardinals who are in control. As soon as I arrived at the Sistine Chapel, I took a solemn oath and got the ballot. One by one, they were so worried that they couldn't do it, and it was really reluctant for them to choose a yellow man as the pope. When filling in the vote, these people don't want to be ashamed of their conscience, thinking that it is someone else's business for others to vote, I don't do anything wrong, after all, it is an anonymous vote, and the votes must be destroyed after voting, it doesn't matter if I don't have one vote, others will not know.

However, after the voting results came out, not to mention that Lin Zixian was surprised by this result, which frightened those people, and everyone had opportunistic ideas.

These sixty-two people can be said to be frightened, fortunately the first round did not elect the pope, otherwise the result can be imagined, Bishop Caesar did not become the pope, the mastermind behind the scenes was furious, their shameless behavior was made public, the whole Holy See was blackened, and they themselves would be discredited by a thousand people, life is better than death.

After being scared out of a cold sweat, for the sake of their own interests, no one dared to take chances, and as for the Lord, God, all of them were left behind. Because at their level, they all understand that the so-called God in the eyes of believers is the top of the Holy See, and the top of the Holy See makes the world believe in God is to believe in them and obey their will, because they represent the Lord in the world, and in the final analysis, it is still their interests.

So the result was that the sixty-two people were so frightened that they all voted for Bishop Caesar without hesitation.

Even if Lin Daguan is an immortal, he can't figure out that there is such an inside story. But it can be regarded as a coincidence, if it hadn't gone through some twists and turns, there were such a high number of votes at the beginning, maybe some people suspected that he was doing ghosts, and after the sixty-two people figured it out, the votes were also reassuring.

Sometimes there are things that have to make people wonder if they have their own providence!

All the ballots were poured into the furnace and destroyed, a spoonful of chemistry was poured into the furnace, and black smoke billowed from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel again, declaring the second round of the election a defeat.

The believers gathered in St. Peter's Square once again lamented their lament, and the media host held a microphone to the camera to announce to the audience in front of the television that the second round of the election was over, and the new pope had not yet been elected.

In fact, it has always been the case that the chances of electing a pope in the first few rounds are slim to none.

In the Sistine Chapel, the Papal Refresher Daniel came to the front of the stage and announced loudly: "One hundred and eighteen cardinals voted, no one has obtained a two-thirds majority, the next round of elections will resume tomorrow morning, and the meeting will be closed at this end today!" ”

In order to ensure fairness, each round has to be voted one by one, and then another ticket is required for cross-review, and it is naturally dark after two rounds.

According to the regulations, there were two rounds in the morning and two rounds in the afternoon every day until the pope was elected. Until the new pope is elected, all cardinals are not allowed to leave the Sistine Chapel or communicate with the outside world, and the cardinals are no longer allowed to canvass for votes in tandem with each other, and must return to the private rooms prepared in the Sistine Chapel to be grounded.

But then again, the votes that should be pulled have been pulled before, and the power struggle, this kind of thing cannot be avoided, but there is no way to carry it out now.

All the cardinals entered their respective chambers under the watchful eye of the servants, which was equivalent to completely cutting off all contact with the outside world and isolating them all.

The new pope was not elected, all the doors were not allowed to be opened, and on the turntable of the bronze door, dinner was brought in, and it was delivered to each single room one after another, and after the meal someone came to clean up, and a group of cardinals made it look like they were in prison.

The first day of the election was a bit thrilling, some found it incredible, others found it endless.

Thomas, a devout believer, stood silently in the election hall......

In Damingyuan, the old man Qi was in bed, half-covered with a quilt and reading glasses to read.

Secretary Su walked to the side lightly and said, "Chief, I just received the news that the second round of the election failed, and the new pope has not yet been elected, so you can rest until tomorrow." ”

Fold the page and close it, put the book aside, the old man took off his reading glasses and sighed: "That kid still has the heart to participate in the pope election, he really thinks he is a cardinal, what the hell is he doing?" This kid doesn't want to be the pope, does he? ”

Secretary Su smiled, anyone knew that this was impossible, helped the old man take off the coat on his body, hung it on the hanger on the side and said with a smile: "The special envoy sent to the funeral in China saw him and shook hands with him, saying that the President of the United States was very cautious when shaking hands with him, and the bodyguards quickly followed, as if facing a great enemy." ”

"Hey! I don't know what this kid wants to do, so if you don't want to, you can go back to sleep. The old man got into the covers.

Secretary Su helped him twist the quilt, turned off the lights and left, being a secretary is actually a chore.

Qiao's family in the mid-level villa, Qiao Yun, who was wearing pajamas, had soft hair draped over her shoulders, sitting quietly by the windowsill, looking at the night outside, listening to the harmonica music played by Lin Zi on the beach, and her eyebrows were full of worry. Although Lin Zi said that it was okay, she was still very worried and couldn't sleep.

The phone placed on the windowsill rang, picked it up casually, and someone on the phone reported that the second round of the Holy See election had failed, and Lin Zixian could not leave the Sistine Chapel for the time being.

"Got it." Qiao Yun hung up the phone casually, rubbing her slightly haggard eyebrows, she couldn't figure out why Lin Zixian would expose herself to everyone's eyes to participate in the pope election in this situation, didn't she know that it was dangerous to do so?

She was worried that Lin Zixian would not be able to leave the Vatican at all, so she had sent a large number of people to pay close attention to the movements, and if she couldn't do it, she would forcibly rescue her.

"What can you do to resolve the crisis in half a month?" Qiao Yun raised her hand to cover her forehead with a little headache, and suddenly the whole person was stunned, her eyes suddenly lit up, Huo Ran looked up at the window, her bright eyes shone brightly, and she said to herself: "Is he going to run for the Pope?" ”

Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she grasped the crux of the problem at once, which explained Lin Zixian's actions, and why she said that the crisis could be resolved within half a month, so that she could wait patiently. As long as Lin Zixian becomes the pope, who dares to say that he is a terrorist? Whether it is Japan or anyone, even the United States, who dares to do something to the Pope, who dares to say that the Pope is a terrorist? Then you have to ask the huge number of Catholics around the world if they say yes!

Qiao Yun's face flashed with a stunning look, if others had changed it, they would definitely think that it was impossible for Lin Zixian to be elected as the pope, but this woman had a stubborn and morbid trust in Lin Zixian, and she believed that since Lin Zixian had done this, she would definitely be able to do it!

Therefore, she is probably the only one among all the uninformed people who knows the truth of the matter......
