Chapter 895: Resurrection
After seeing the Holy See bigwigs leave, Lin Zixian, who was meditating cross-legged, quickly entered a state of closing his eyes and recuperating to minimize the consumption of physical energy. For him, it is nothing to skip three meals, even if he does not eat or drink for three days, he can hold on...... Continue the wake for the Pope.
On the contrary, Angelo seemed to be a little uneasy, and he didn't know if he was worried about Bishop Caesar's body.
The sun goes down and night falls quickly.
Bishop Rava took advantage of the darkness to reach outside the temple, and the guard at the door reached out to stop him. Bishop Rava took out from his robe an edict, the Decree of the Provisional Regency of the Holy See, which exercised papal authority during the transition of the Holy See's powers.
After verifying the authenticity of the oracle, the guards moved out of the way, and Bishop Rava walked into the temple without haste. Looking around the dome and the surrounding reliefs, the figures in the painting seem to come to life, staring at him, giving him a creepy feeling.
Bishop Rava went straight into the basement of the back hall, and in the light of the burning fire, he saw the pool of smoke billowing from the water, the papal scepter like the dead branches of an old tree half-exposed above the smoke wave, and the pool below the smoke wave was still boiling and boiling.
Looking at the old furnishings around him, Bishop Rava did not hesitate, walked quickly to the statue of the Virgin Mary, crouched on the edge of the smoky pool, reached out and took the scepter, and pulled it out of the slot.
The rumbling pool quickly returned to calm, only the smoke flowed slowly back and forth, and Bishop Lava fanned the smoke with a wave of his sleeve, but the smoke was strange, gathering but not dispersing, and it was impossible to see what was going on below.
After seeing the authenticity of the papal scepter and quickly tucking it into a loose robe, Bishop Rava did not dare to linger too long and quickly left.
No sooner had he stepped out of the temple than Thomas, dressed in black, stepped out of some dark corner. Look in the direction where Bishop Rava disappeared.
Thomas strode towards the temple, and the guard at the door saluted, and no one stopped him, allowing him to enter.
When he reached the basement, the smoke covering the pool had thinned and fainted, and seeing that the Pope's scepter was gone, Thomas turned away with a blank face, unable to see his joy or anger.
As soon as he walked out of the temple, Angelo came out of the darkness again. He walked up to him and saluted, "Sir, Bishop Caesar is very loyal to His Majesty the Pope, and has always been by His Majesty's side, and cannot be persuaded to leave. β
Thomas couldn't help but sneer, others didn't know who Caesar was. How could I not know that that guy is a non-believer at all, and there has been a showdown between the two of them for a long time, and everyone can be loyal to His Majesty the Pope, but that guy can't be, unless he's going to see it.
Of course, there are some things that you can know. There is no need to sue sΓΉ Angelo, maybe one day it will be possible to sue sΓΉ Angelo, but certainly not now.
Thomas whispered a bite on Angelo's ear, and Angelo quickly took the order. Thomas went straight to the funeral hall where Paul's body was laid.
As soon as he walked into the church and saw the old god meditating cross-legged in Lin Zixian, Thomas twitched and did not greet Lin Zixian. Instead, he walked to the bedside.
Lin Zixian, who closed his eyes and kept his body, opened one eye and turned his head to look. Thomas leaned over and whispered a few words in Paul's ear.
Lying on the mourning bed, Paul sighed softly, slowly opened his eyes and was about to sit up. Thomas immediately took the golden cross on his chest and quickly helped Paul up, and the four black-clad priests who were on guard were also quick to serve.
Paul got out of bed and stumbled, lying numb all over his body, Thomas and others quickly helped him rub his body and help him live his blood.
"Ah......" Lin Zixian jumped up like a ghost, jumped over and pointed at Paul, looking like his jaw dropped in shock.
Thomas glanced at him, too lazy to take care of it, and felt that Lin Zixian had overdone it this time.
Paul rolled his eyes, a little hateful, this time for pretending to be dead. Originally, it was not a big problem, but he ran out of a thousand knives to guard his own spirit, and he was so hard that he lay still and didn't dare to move, he couldn't eat secretly, he couldn't drink secretly, he was a lot older, he couldn't stand this toss, and he almost really hung up.
At the beginning, Lin Zi stayed up all night vigil, and with some touching words, Paul himself was moved, but he didn't expect Caesar to be so affectionate and righteous to him. He didn't think about loyalty, he never thought that Caesar would be loyal to him, but he just thought that Lin Zixian was affectionate, because he heard Thomas say that Caesar is very affectionate.
Later, when he was thirsty and hungry, Paul gradually realized that something was wrong, and wondered if Caesar had seen some flaw and was deliberately cheating himself.
He is a lot of old age to be able to hold on for a day without eating or drinking, and he is ready, if Caesar is still hungry to accompany him before twelve o'clock tonight, he will come back to life, otherwise he will really hang up.
Just now, Thomas added a sentence in his ear, saying that Lin Zixian should have seen that you were playing dead.
Paul, who had suffered a great sin, almost regretted his bowels, and knew that he should find a way not to let Lin Zixian come in, but he didn't expect Lin Zixian to be idle halfway in advance
The Shanghui came out to do this, and didn't make any arrangements in this regard at all.
In order to see the internal reaction after his death, he hid all the high-ranking members of the Holy See, and he did not disclose the news to any high-ranking members of the Holy See.
Lin Zixian was still there like a ghost, pointing at Paul and chattering with a frightened face: "Aren't you dead?" How did you come back to life? β
While several people were still helping Paul move his muscles, Paul turned back and asked, "Caesar, how do you know I'm playing dead?" β
"Playing dead?" Lin Zixian was stunned, and said with a stunned face: "Your Majesty, are you pretending to be dead?" β
Feign! You keep loading it for me! Paul didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and if he continued to ask, he was afraid that he would not starve to death, but would also be angry to death.
After a while, the three cars stopped in front of the church, and Angelo walked in with a tray with sandwiches, bread, and milk, and brought it to Paul.
Hungry and thirsty, Paul grabbed a glass of milk and took a few sips, then picked up a sandwich and nibbled on it.
Lin Zixian looked surprised on the surface, but in fact he looked funny, and thought, I thought you were an immortal who could not eat or drink, but it turned out that you were also a mortal.
In fact, when he saw Paul lying here for the first time, Lin Zixian saw that something was wrong, to be exact, he was shocked, paralyzed, wasn't he dead? Why do you still breathe? It's too tricky, isn't it?
If the distance of looking at the remains is a little farther, Lin Zixian may not be able to detect it lightly, but the warning distance of two or three meters, with his current profound internal strength, Paul is like breathing in his ear. For Lin Zixian, this is also a little too fake.
The man was silent, but wanted to see what Paul was doing, so he made a vigil.
Guarding the back, even Lin Zixian had to admire this old guy, he could really pretend, worthy of His Majesty the Pope, his endurance alone was not comparable to ordinary people, and he could be motionless for such a long time. Okay, you continue to pretend, I'll see how long you can carry it without eating or drinking, it's good if you really hang up, and Lao Tzu will come to run for the Pope when you turn around.
As soon as Paul wiped his mouth after eating, he immediately led Thomas and the others to the outside of the church.
Before getting into the car, Lin Zi ran around and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" How do I explain that someone sees you're gone? β
Paul looked back, he was convinced of this scoundrel, there were some internal things that he didn't want outsiders to know, but this guy spent so much effort grinding himself, didn't he just want to find out? The implication in the other party's words is already very clear, if he doesn't bring him, he will immediately let everyone know that His Majesty the Pope is playing dead.
In order not to leak the news for the time being, he had to take this guy with him, and Paul replied, "Follow me!" β
Thomas reached out above the door, escorted Paul into the car, and immediately got into the passenger seat. Lin Zixian got into another car, and the three cars left quickly.
The door to the church closed quickly, and a group of guards stood guard at the door. This time, if Paul had not spoken in person, he would not have been able to enter the church with anyone's hand.
A car left the Vatican, out of the city of Rome, and Bishop Lava drove alone.
He knew that he would never be able to return to the Holy See, so he took advantage of the transition period of the Holy See's power, and took advantage of his position to get an edict and steal the papal scepter, and the consequences were very severe, and he had to flee, otherwise the Inquisition would execute him.
But he had to do this, because he was not a member of the Holy See, but an undercover agent planted by the Blood Clan in the Holy See.
He was adopted by the Blood Clan since he was a child, and was carefully arranged by the Blood Clan to be sent to the seminary, and then with the strong support of the Blood Clan, he grew step by step from a small clergyman to a deacon cardinal of the Holy See. In the process of growing up, it was also the blood clan that helped him eliminate competitors step by step, and he couldn't see the light.
The blood clan gave him money and gave him women, so he had a wife and children, but the wife and children were in the control of the blood clan. He fell too deep, too many handles in the hands of the blood clan, no matter how high his status is now, he can only obey the blood clan, and there is no way out, so there is today's scene.
After escaping the Vatican, he knew that he was going to live incognito, but he would no longer have to abide by the rules on the surface, and he would live a nourishing life. He is not afraid that the blood clan will cross the river and tear down the bridge, because he still has use value, and he knows that many things in the Holy See are still useful to the blood clan, so the blood clan will continue to provide him with good treatment.
That's true, but there is one thing he doesn't know, he is not the only one who was sent to the church by the blood clan back then, but he is the only one who has a chance.
The car stopped in the wilderness outside the city of Rome, surrounded by ruined monuments.
After getting out of the car, Rava kept looking around, anxiously waiting.
"Rava." A voice sounded behind him, and Rava was startled, and when he looked back, Blaise didn't know when he appeared behind him like a ghost.
Rava quickly bowed and saluted, "Sir." β
Blaise was the one who adopted him in the first place, and he didn't know Blaze's true identity at first, but later learned that Blaise was the butler of Prince Clark of the Blood Clan after his status was raised to gain access to some secrets.
