Chapter 278: Countdown (Asking for Recommendation Votes!! )
……
In the villa, the atmosphere became a little dull when they heard Hela's description of the Council of the Holy Ones.
The Council of the Holy Representatives is one of the strongest forces under the Mara Church.
They are not at all that kind of parliament in the ordinary sense of the word, but a legion ... A legion made up purely of knights, enough to pacify the city of Sage in half an hour!
Not an exaggeration at all.
There are a hundred deacons in the Holy Council, and each of them is a member of the Knights of Daybreak... And under the command of these deacons, there are also the heads of the knights of countless hunting guilds......
A knightly order, at least 5 knights.
It can be said that in the jurisdiction of the Church of Mara, 80% of the knights are members of the Holy Council.
In normal times, they are distributed on the edge of various cities to resist counter-invasions, or to eliminate aliens in the fifth-order world, or to guard dangerous areas such as the Minghuang Desert... They do their jobs and almost never act in groups, but once assembled, this force can definitely sweep across the continent, and the Sword of Power is the banner that commands them.
Hela said that the sword of power would only work if it was in the hands of Hesse, and that the Viet group could not use the sword to mobilize the Holy Council.
Sounds like good news, but it's still bad.
On the 1st of every month, a hundred deacons of the Council of the Holy Ones will gather for a meeting, and if Hesse and the Sword of Power cannot appear at the same time, then according to the rules, the president will be re-elected... And the new speaker of the parliament will most likely be someone from the Viet group.
Even the regent can win them over, and it is not difficult to bury a candidate for the speaker of the council in advance.
The Viet Group is ambitious and very meticulous.
This time the ambush of the Holy Council of the Holy Council, if it weren't for Hela's oblivion trait, so that they missed one person, I'm afraid no one knows when the Holy Council became a private army.
Zhao Guoguo became more and more sure that the plan of the Viet Group had entered the final stage, and the time left for the Dawn Society was only four days at most, and if the Viet Group gathered the Holy Congregation Council, the old headmaster would not be able to protect them.
There's no way they're going to let the old headmaster risk it for them.
Zhao Guoguo decided to wait until tomorrow night to watch it.
If the ball proves that Qin Yang has no problem, then with the help of the prison guards, maybe he can also wrestle with the Viet Group, but if Qin Yang has a problem, the Dawn Society has only one way to go - escape.
After seeing off the guests at home, Zhao Guoguo went back to the room directly.
Even if she doesn't sleep today, she still has to figure out the aether light thoroughly.
Su Mu changed into a blood-covered coat and rushed to the abandoned factory with Nanxi.
Qin Yang called before, saying that the church headquarters was attacked by a sneak attack, with heavy casualties, and the CMU had ordered the city to be closed, so that the Law Enforcement Bureau would go all out to search for criminals, and kill them immediately if they encountered it.
It is clear that the Viet Group is trying to kill Hesse.
When Zhao Guoguo brought Hesse to the villa in Hela, he had already deleted all the CMU's surveillance videos about Hesse, but Su Mu felt that it was not enough... Since they wanted a corpse, they faked one and gave it to them, creating some misinformation, and when Hesse woke up in a few days, he might be able to catch the Viedians by surprise.
After all, he is the chairman of the Holy Council of the Holy Council, Su Mu really doesn't believe that Hesse doesn't even have any cronies.
On the way, Su Mu deliberately led a group of guards to shoot at him, and Nanxi hid in the dark and put a Buddha statue in the dark, smashing them all unconscious, and then went to the abandoned factory.
Not surprisingly, James' body was still there.
In the wilderness here, it's really hard to find out if something happens.
The body's aether had completely dissipated at this point, and there were faint signs of decay, but because of the cold weather, the corruption was not too serious... Nanxi stroked the strings and several green rays of light melted into James's corpse, making it slightly more active, as if it had just died.
Su Mu took off Hesse's clothes again, put on the corpse, and then shot a flame gun in the face.
On the way home, he threw the body not far from the group of guards.
……
……
Following.
At six o'clock in the morning, after discussing with Mu Li, Su Mu had breakfast and went out to the hunting market with Zhao Guoguo.
After buying the materials needed to build the Aether Light and thirteen spatial communication mobile phones, the two went to the mall.
Su Mu got two high-end suits, sent a set to Qin Yang, and then went home to get busy.
There was a lot going on today, and they might have to fight all night at night, so they had to be prepared.
In the small building of the peach forest, Nanxi is also helping to refine medicine.
At the dance party in the evening, the people invited to participate are all ordinary people, and there should be a spiritual power test, and she needs to refine two poisons that can make people lose their spiritual power in a short period of time......
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hela came with Hesse.
Everyone got into the RV together, went to pick up the old principal, and then drove the car to the city center.
Throughout the day, the Dawn Society didn't speak much, until they saw the old man's gentle and kind smile, and the atmosphere was slightly better.
Xia Na pulled Nanxi aside and said slightly apologetically, "I'm really sorry Nanxi, I've affected you this time." ”
Nanxi smiled and shook her head, "President Xana doesn't have to say such things... Nanxi believes that if the same thing happens to the God Squad, President Xana's choice will be the same as mine. ”
Last night, Xana told her everything.
Nanxi knew what Shana meant, but she wouldn't go.
Even if she and Chu Tianhao's lives were lost, she would have to protect Su Mu thoroughly.
……
……
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
73 Huaifeng Street.
Neuer was changing clothes at home.
Looking at his handsome self in the mirror, he couldn't help but sigh.
As an entrepreneur, Neuer feels very successful.
After graduating from high school, he is now only 20 years old, and with only 500 million yuan given by his father, he has made a name for himself in the business world.
Although there is still a gap between him and the richest man, he can barely be regarded as a young and promising young talent, but his life is relatively boring.
Neuer's only pleasure now is to travel and see the customs of other worlds.
But the more he traveled, the more his heart stirred...
Especially when I saw those guards fighting with wild beasts with their bare hands, controlling wind, fire, ice and thunder, and throwing up the spear and sword, it was not too handsome... He almost bent.
Cultivators are so good!
The most important thing is that you can live longer, and it's exciting!
How can women have fun fighting monsters!
In fact, Neuer, like many ordinary people, didn't like cultivators at all, but he really wanted to become a cultivator.
People will eventually live as they ever hated the most.
"Ding-dong-"
Suddenly, a doorbell interrupted his thoughts.
"Who?" Neuer asked aloud.
"Your courier, Mr. Bethrie." The man outside the door replied.
… Express delivery?
"When will Dad shop online?"
Neuer muttered as he went downstairs to open the door.
At the doorway stood a boy with a gentle smile, holding a bottle of spray with a werewolf in his hand.
"Mr. Neuer, remember not to open the door to strangers next time."
Phew!
Neuer fell, but did not.
Su Mu gently supported him, walked into the room, and closed the door with a hook of his toes.
He followed the footsteps of Neuer as he went downstairs to open the door, and soon found Neuer's bedroom.
The golden invitation was sitting on the bedside table.
"I'm OK here." Su Mu Dao.
"Now go out to the station, the person who picks you up has arrived." Zhao Guoguo said in the headphones.
"Okay." Su Mu said and looked at his watch.
Half past six.
It seems that the richest man is quite cautious, and let people go in advance, most likely to reduce some unexpected situations.
Maybe it's a psychic test?
Su Mu took out the pill and threw it into his mouth, reminding Qin Yang by the way.
……
At 6:50, Su Mu came to the bus stop.
As soon as he walked under the stop sign, he noticed a sensation falling on him.
From the man sitting in the middle of the two stop signs as a newspaper reader.
Su Mu pretended that nothing had happened, but he was more cautious in his heart.
Because the time was too tight, Nanxi didn't have time to make the antidote, he could only wait for two hours for his spiritual power to automatically recover, otherwise he could only use his sword intent when he encountered danger... The man would definitely die, but the ball wouldn't go there.
……
On the other hand, Qin Yang, who was in Dongcheng District, was also smoothly in place.
In the RV, Zhao Guoguo sat on the sofa, staring intently at the monitoring screen of the nine-square grid on the notebook.
Su Mu and Qin Yang are just two of them, and those other pictures are key areas such as the Inquisition, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the CMU, and the church headquarters... For the next 72 hours, she will be the first to know about the movements of the Vie Group.
Seven.
Su Mu ushered in a black limousine here.
The man reading the newspaper suddenly stood up and smiled and extended an invitation.
Su Mu pretended to be surprised and talked to the man for a few words, and then couldn't wait to get into the car.
The interior of the car is very textured, and a crystal plaque hangs under the front rearview mirror, reflecting the driver's expressionless face.
There was no one else in the car, and Su Mu didn't speak anymore, only showing some nervousness and excitement.
If you talk too much, you will lose, and it will not be good if you show your stuffing.
……
Half an hour later, the car passed through the city center and came to a single-family villa in the southern part of the city.
This should be considered a manor... It's a bit like Verly's home, with a huge yard and only the richest family.
The name of the richest man is also very good, it is called Forbes.
Su Mu was slightly surprised at first that Forbes set the dance venue in his home, but after perceiving it a little bit through the darkness, he understood... It's fearless.
The matter of experimenting with ordinary people is allowed by the "church", and the officials will naturally not come to trouble him, but if other people with ulterior motives find here, the fifty or sixty bodyguards in all corners will be thrown out directly.
The inspection at the door was very simple, Su Mu just showed the invitation card and went in.
Presumably they think that ordinary people can't afford to make any waves?
Entering the courtyard, Su Mu quickly took a look at the surrounding environment.
The exact point of the dance party was on the lawn near the villa, where there were a lot of white tables and chairs, leaving a relatively large open space, and many people were dancing in the middle... Qin Yang had already arrived early, and was sitting at a table drinking alone, with many waiters walking back and forth with wine and food beside him.
There was also a very low stage at the front of the venue, and a large bottle of champagne was hung upside down with something like a hanger, and a line of small words was written on the bottle of champagne -
To the last ordinary night!
… This should be the Awakening Elixir.
Su Mu couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't expect this Forbes to be a literary old man.
"Su Mu, we are nearby, call me at any time if you need help." Zhao Guoguo said.
"Understood." Su Mu whispered.
Junnatsu Hoshino opened the skylight and released a miniature aerial shot in the shape of a bamboo dragonfly, and then operated it with a remote control to slowly fly high into the sky......
Su Mu casually picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's plate, walked towards Qin Yang, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Liu, you are also here!" ”
"Brother Eir? Haha, you're here too! Qin Yang laughed, his face full of surprise.
They were like a pair of old friends who met unexpectedly, exchanged pleasantries, and immediately sat together, drinking and chatting about family life.
The content is like this-
"Brother Su, a total of about 70 people died yesterday." Qin Yang whispered, "I compared the list and crossed out 43 of them. ”
"Is the new letter of appointment out?" Su Mu asked in a low voice.
"Probably not... In such emergencies, it is usually replaced by a deputy or a subordinate. Qin Yang said.
Su Mu nodded.
The Viedan group must have guessed that the Holy Council would go to the church headquarters to look for them recently, but they didn't guess the specific time, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered for a meeting last night, and they would have sent away the people who had already been wooed in vain.
That's good news.
Su Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Have you caught the person who attacked the church headquarters?" ”
He didn't tell Qin Yang about the fake corpse, and he didn't know why he didn't tell Qin Yang, Zhao Guoguo didn't say it, so he didn't ask... Maybe Qin Yang was monitored?
Qin Yang took a sip of his drink and said, "The person was found, but it was unrecognizable, and there was no way to distinguish the identity, so I could only make a rough judgment by the time of death, and I asked Han Rou to deal with it personally... Let's hope it's better not him, so that we can have a strong helper. ”
Su Mu listened to the instructions in the headphones, changed the topic again, and asked, "Brother Qin, Shi Ming's office and residence, have you found anything?" ”
"No, no useful clues were found, other than a few dozen listening devices... However, these listening devices have been installed for a long time, and Shi Ming's work and life should have been in the sight of the Viet Group long ago. ”
Qin Yang sighed and said, "Shi Ming used to be a very good boss, he should have been threatened by the Vie Group with his wife and daughter, and he had to choose to give in... You don't know Brother Su, when I went to his house this morning, his wife cried very badly, and asked me to avenge Shi Ming......"
Su Mu took a sip of wine and didn't speak.
If this is the case, Shi Ming will also be considered to have died a well-deserved death.
At least he saved his wife and daughter, and he no longer had to act with his conscience.
Su Mu glanced at the time.
It's half past eight, and there is still half an hour left before recovering spiritual power.
There is still half an hour left before the dance officially begins.
