Chapter 226 226 The white-bearded old man of the church is the villain, this is the custom
At the same time as Lin Youde's family's insidious plan to instigate the Ottoman **** to sinister the Russians, a young man was brought into the interrogation room of the Vatican Inquisition.
A number of cardinals sat around the long circular table in the interrogation room, looking at the young men who were brought in with serious expressions, and the dim candlelight in the interrogation room outlined the faces of the bishops, leaving an eerie shaking shadow, adding a bit of solemnity to their faces.
Perhaps in this era of widespread use of electric and gas lamps, candlelight is still chosen in the interrogation room to create this solemnity.
The young man seemed to be shocked by this slaughter, and he looked tremblingly at the old man in the gold-trimmed white robe sitting in the center, then at the two priests in the uniform of the Inquisition who led him through the door, and finally his gaze fell on the soldiers who were guarding the door of the hall.
The two soldiers were armed with American-made Thompson submachine guns, but their clothes were thick in a medieval style, their bodies were wrapped in all-black cloaks, their faces were covered in strange-looking bird's beak masks, and their uniforms were embroidered with snakes and scepters, the hallmarks of the Inquisition.
At this time, the priest to the left of the young man raised his hand and gently patted the young man's shoulder: "Don't be nervous, the adults here are the kindest and most righteous people in the world. Tell me what you are and what you see. ”
"Yes, sir." The young man's gaze turned back to the old man sitting in the center of the room, who seemed to be grinning at the young man in order to show his kindness. But his smile, set off by the strange atmosphere that permeated the whole room, not only did not show the slightest kindness, but made people feel terrifying.
The young man had no choice but to look away from the old man and turn to the cross behind him. But the face of the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross was also distorted and hideous under the influence of the atmosphere of this room.
The young man tried his best to suppress his trembling and said tremblingly, "My name is Crowley, and I am a gardening apprentice in Sanssouci Palace. I...... When Sanssouci was attacked earlier this year, I was pruning flowers and plants in the garden with my master. Then I saw ...... I saw someone being knocked out of Sanssouci and flying over all the terraced flower beds in Sanssouci Garden, and finally crashed into the fence of the fountain at the lowest end of the stairs. At that time, I thought that the man must have died, his head must have been shattered into several pieces, and his body must have been shattered, after all, he had flown so far! But oh my God! ”
The young man's face distorted: "Oh my God, he immediately got up and ran in the direction of Sanssouci Palace, nothing happened at all!" When he passed not far away, I saw his face clearly, he was the owner of Sanssouci Palace, my employer Lin Youde! ”
The archbishops looked at each other and talked about it, but the old man sitting in the center raised his hand to stop them.
The old man opened his mouth and asked the young man, "Are you sure you see Lin Youde?" ”
"It's true!" The young man affirmed without hesitation, "It must be him, I see his face on the promotional materials all day long." I immediately said to my master, 'I saw Mr. Lin fly down,' but my master didn't believe it, and I should have been able to see Mr. Lin's face from his position. Later, I told a lot of people about it, but they didn't believe it, thinking that it was actually Miss Viola who flew down, and told me that it was not unusual for the goddess to fly such a long distance without incident. ”
The young man didn't know where he got the guts, he stepped forward and emphasized to the old man who seemed to have the highest position: "That's Lin Youde, please believe me!" Then someone from the Intelligence Bureau approached me and warned me not to talk nonsense, otherwise I would be locked up on charges of defamation of Mr. Lim, and my family would be threatened...... I...... I don't think I can submit to them, because the masters they serve are not human at all! Humanity cannot remain unscathed in that situation. ”
As the young man spoke, he seemed to have lost the strength to stand on his feet, and he knelt on the ground and prayed in a weak voice, "It must be the legendary demon, only a demon can have such an immortal body." That's why that organization preaches panhumanism, which is the doctrine of the devil, which opposes us to the supreme God......"
As the young man spoke, he kept drawing a cross in front of him.
The gold-encrusted old man glanced at the priest behind him, and the priest stepped forward and pressed the young man's shoulder, and said in a calm, magnetic voice, "Be at ease, this is the Lord's place, and no one can hurt you here." ”
"But I've been serving the devil for more than half a year, and I've ......"
"The Lord will forgive your sins."
The young man took the priest's hand and wept bitterly.
The gold-studded white man looked a little bored, and he waved his hand at the priest, signaling that the priest could take the man away. Then another priest stepped forward and grabbed the young man by the other shoulder.
The two priests pulled him up from the ground, and the old man in the white robe with gold and white robe said at this very good time, "Take this devout believer down to rest." ”
The two priests then walked towards the door with the young man in their arms, but then the young man suddenly stopped and looked back at the gold-inlaid white robed old man and the other cardinals: "My family will be protected by the Holy See, right?" ”
The bishops looked at each other, and finally it was the old man who spoke: "It's a pity that when our priests went to look for them, they had already been taken away by the intelligence agency of NERV, I'm afraid ......"
The old man shook his head.
The young man immediately began to weep bitterly in a voice even more poignant than before, and he was carried away by the two priests.
The beaked masked soldiers who were guarding both sides of the door also left the room with the priest, and when the heavy door closed, silence temporarily enveloped the room.
Finally, the bishop, who was sitting at the very edge of the table, stood up and wrestled the candlestick on the wall, and the light of the electric lamp illuminated the room.
"There is no doubt about it," said the cardinal next to the white-robed old man, "the sporadic information we have obtained before is correct, Lin Youde has a special physique, and he can not be harmed by the divine concubine. ”
"It is terrible," said the cardinal who turned on the light, "that the goddess is the guide and watchman sent by God to the world, and the apostle who conveys to us the will of the Lord. He must have been a messenger sent by the devil, or a demon himself. ”
"But one of his two daughters is a goddess." Another younger bishop said, "Perhaps he was only a man who was especially favored by the Lord, so the Lord did not allow his apostles to harm him." ”
"Nonsense!" The cardinal, who spoke first, angrily rebuked, "How can a man who is trusted by the Lord here, and who is trusted and favored by the Lord, concoct such a thing as panhumanism!" I don't think his child is a goddess at all, but a witch! ”
When the words fell, all the bishops fell silent.
At this time, the white-robed old man spoke: "Lin Youde, he must be the servant of the devil." The problem is that now that the power of the Holy See is weak, it is impossible to do anything with him as a servant. We can no longer organize crusades as easily as we did in the past. Although the Holy See now has a god, with the weak national strength of the Vatican, it is impossible to help Germany. Even if we can say that Mussolini of the Italian government acted against Germany, hum. ”
The white-robed old man shook his head slowly.
"I think it's better to report this matter to the Pope and the Holy Maiden, and let them decide, right?" It was suggested that way.
As a result, the white-robed old man shook his head again.
"The Pope is old, he has not been in good health since his last trip to Vienna, and he is clearly not willing to take care of these things anymore. And the Holy Maiden, hum ......," the old man paused, "If the Holy Maiden is allowed to participate in this matter, we will be sanctioned before the sanctions are imposed on Lin Youde, right?" The mere killing of the devout informant's family for the sake of disguise would have been enough for the mad saint to crucify us all. ”
The old man did not hesitate to use the word "crazy" to describe the holy woman, but no one in the room accused the old man of being rude.
The old man was silent for a moment before continuing: "Moreover, even if the Holy Maiden spares us from death, her decision will only push us in the Vatican to the fire pit and bury her herself as well. In the current world, fanatics cannot survive, and only those who are smart and flexible can live for a long time. So don't let the saint interfere in this matter, not for the time being. ”
"Then we will let Lin Youde grow bigger, and finally deprive our church of the last bit of power and prestige? If there were no believers, we would lose even the financial support! ”
The current church is similar to another time and space, basically living on prestige and the faith of the people, and after there is no prestige and no faith of the people, most of the big donors who provide them with funds will give up on them.
Therefore, for the Pope Chamber, Lin Youde's panhumanism is not just a matter of faith, it is also a big issue of their survival.
At this point, they had long been in collusion with the anti-Lin Youde forces in Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Zionists in exile in Russia, so they had long been in collusion.
"Of course we won't sit idly by," the white-robed old man raised his hand to his cheeks and pondered for a moment before continuing slowly, "First of all, we need to rely on the strength of those like-minded friends. Especially the strength of Russia. Now that the Ottoman Empire is in turmoil, we can take advantage of it. For example, to give the Tsar an excuse to shelter the believers of our Lord in the Ottoman Empire in exchange for their promise to join the new crusaders in the future. ”
