"I'm sure you've all heard of that man's name, Hecker. As for the special tasks they perform...... It is to take advantage of the fire in St. Canaan to smuggle the 'Seraphim' back to the hunter's headquarters without telling everyone. ”

The deputy bureau directly scolded her for what nonsense, while some of the staff members of St. Canaan's knowledge stood up, and together with Kiara, they angrily asked how the Hunter Bureau knew about this and how they wanted to interfere.

The people of the Hunter Bureau bite to death, and the two sides seem to be in a partial stalemate again, and the slightest disturbance can cause a wave.

The people who blow the wind are the hunter squads that suddenly appear.

The leader, Heckel, was followed by several hunters who had seen him in the city hospital before, and the group walked in the central church as if they were walking in their own territory.

Several people were escorted behind them with their hands tied, Qiu Xuan glanced at it, and frowned in the next second.

It was a group of crazy people wearing St. Canaan's one-piece hospital gowns, and a few of them seemed to be Ryuzo's gang. Everyone who hung their heads and mixed in with the mentally ill didn't know what they were doing.

"On the way here, I happened to pass through St. Canaan, and helped you catch a few patients who tried to escape while they were in chaos."

Heckel, who was the leader, smiled at the crowd, "Is the list of personnel sorted out now?" Ah, Chiara, you're in church too, so it's more convenient, and we can check it together. ”

"We're already doing the checking, so don't bother with you." I don't know if it's Qiu Xuan's delusion, she always felt that there was a little imperceptible disgust and alienation in Chiara's words when facing Heckel, this kind of attitude is almost rare in this holy woman, so it is especially rare now.

"I've heard that the mission at the border is extremely dangerous, and you and the team have finally come back, and now it's time to go back and repair it, so you don't have to trouble the affairs of the Central Church."

"No trouble, no trouble," Heckel, as if completely unaware of the eviction order hidden in his tone. "Since ancient times, the Church Hunter Bureau is a family, and if one party is in trouble, many parties will support it, and it should be done."

Qiu Xuan saw that on the holster clamp on Heckel's waist, there was a pistol that she couldn't recognize.

Generally speaking, the standard firearms of the Church and Hunter Bureau are based on the USP base pistol, and high-armor-piercing close-point firearms such as the truncated single-shot shotgun are frequently used as charges during extraordinary times. A TEC-9 like Chiara's is a hobby, and it's rare for anyone to use a firearm like that.

But Qiu Xuan had deducted a bullet case on Ya's corpse's face and looked at it, although she didn't know much about guns, but based on repeated comparisons, she could always see that the model of the bullet was not one of the standard guns for churches or hunters.

Nor is it Chiara's usual gun.

Qiu Xuan raised her eyes to look at Heckel, who was walking towards this side with a smile.

"Do you know that man's usual gun?" She tilted her head slightly and whispered a question to Kiara beside her, who looked back in confusion, but said, "Did you say Heckel?" He used the NOVA Supernova shotgun. ”

Qiu Xuan's eyebrows twitched for a moment.

"Heckel's guns have always been famous, you know, they started as civilian shotguns, and they were only later refined into military weapons. But compared to other types of firearms, to be honest, the Nova shotgun does not have any advantage in real combat drills in terms of rate of fire, accuracy, and size. ”

"Its only advantage is that it has a lot of firepower, but only if it can be aimed. Otherwise, by the time you slowly reload and refine, the enemy's gunpowder will be enough to kill you countless times. Whether Hecker is in the Hunter Bureau or in medical school, with his infinitely close to the status of a first-level leader, the latest weapons on the market are logically at his disposal, but after so many years, the only thing he has been with for a long time is this NOVA supernova shotgun. ”

"Thank you for lifting me up, Miss Kiara." Suddenly, a voice interjected in front of them. They both looked up with a frown almost at the same time, and saw Heckel's smiling face. "Yes, this old friend has been with me for a long time, and I really don't want to leave it behind...... I believe that this mood should be the most understandable, right? ”

Chiara was not happy to squeeze out a smirk at him.

Qiu Xuan pursed her lips, she originally suspected that it was Heckel, but now that she heard what Qiara said, she was suffering from no evidence. Just because the power of the shotgun is huge, an ordinary shot on the human body, not to mention directly flying out, at least the part of the shot must not be as light as the corpse of Ya.

That shot in the face could directly smash her face, not just a few cuts of flesh.

However, it is also possible that Hecker knew that the use of shotguns was too targeting, so he deliberately did not use his usual gun, but replaced it with a small ordinary pistol.

"We meet again, Seraphim."

He smiled and talked to himself, and Ya, who turned his head away and didn't want to continue to talk to him, finished talking, and then shifted his gaze to Qiu Xuan's face. "I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon, I said why can't I find you in the city hospital, it turns out that you have already followed Asafel to the Central Church."

Qiu Xuan does not have the burden of a saint in Chiara, and she doesn't want to deal with Hekel for the time being. So he didn't even smile, but turned his face to the few patients who were being escorted by hunters behind him.

"If they are guilty, it should be St. Canaan himself who intervenes to punish them, not the Hunters' Bureau."

"As I said earlier, the church and the hunter have been one family since ancient times, and now these are all separate matters, and they are just a matter of hands, and they are ......" Hecker suddenly stopped laughing - saying this, Qiu Xuan recalled the only impression he had seen this person a few times before. It's as if there is something wrong with his facial muscles, whether it's walking around, changing his expression, especially when talking to someone, the person's laughing muscles seem to have something wrong, and he doesn't know what he's laughing at all the time.

"You have reminded me, dear seraph. You were one of the people who escaped from the hospital during the fire of St. Canaan, just ......like the sick people," he groaned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and gestured to the hunter behind him. "Catch that witch."

"Heckel!"

Kiara, who was closest to her, was the first to step forward, and she naturally stood in front of Qiu Xuan, as smooth as if she didn't think about it at all. "I sent the seraphs to come to the church to find me. She didn't run away from the hospital, but was injured and sent to a city hospital for treatment. ”

Hecker shook his head and smiled, "Can a saint lie in front of the Father?" ”

"In the presence of God the Father, the Holy Maiden can do what she thinks is right." Chiara ignored the sarcasm in Heckel's words, her eyes staring straight at the other party, without the slightest hint of weakness.

"But what you're holding on to isn't right anymore, Chiara." Hecker sighed as if he was in disarray, "The handover documents have come down, don't you know about it?" ”

He spread his hands in an exaggerated manner, and his gaze swept around the crowd with different expressions.

"You don't even know? Okay, okay, then I'll repeat the results of the collective decision of the elders of the Central Cabinet. Hecker withdrew his hand, smiling and bending his eyes to spot a precise position in the crowd. Cardinal Asaphil, who betrayed his faith and failed his people, unanimously agreed that he was unfit to remain in this position. ”

However, the glory that Asafel had won for the church during his tenure was worth the credit. All the Cabinet Elders unanimously decided to exempt Asafel from accountability for the death penalty and to remove him only as Cardinal, the top executive of the Stormtrooper, the Elder of the Central Cabinet, the Speaker of the Central Arsenal, and the administrator of St. Canaan. ”

He bent the corners of his mouth and shook the document in his hand against the seal. Pope Yemoth was the first to rush out, snatching the paperwork from Heckel's hand with a slash and glancing at it several times in disbelief before turning his head sharply to look at a white-bearded elder in the crowd.

"What's going on? Is this really your stamp?! ”

The Central Cabinet is a very special existence in the Church of this world, and if you have to use an analogy, they are equivalent to "monarchy" in another sense. There are currently thirteen cabinet elders who currently hold power in their hands, including the original Qin Jiuyuan, they have the right to veto all matters in the church, as well as the right to vote.

When deciding on major events, such as the succession of each pope, such as the removal of important officials, the cabinet elders vote on the event. If more than half of the people voted in favor, the outcome of the event is almost certain, and even the Pope will not be able to change the event at this time.

When they arrived, Chiara had been arguing with those people in the large conference room, probably because of this.

Unexpectedly, the number of voters is still more than half.

"Why didn't anyone inform me about this?" Yemo's eyes glared at an elder with half-closed eyes, "I should have the right to vote and discuss, so why didn't I know you had this meeting?" And the results came out in such a quick time?! ”

"It's useless for you to come, Jemo."

As if he was overwhelmed by his quarrel, the red-nosed old man finally raised his eyelids a little like charity, and said lightly: "A total of eight elders voted in favor of this meeting, and the dismissal of Asafel is already a certainty, whether you come or not, it is useless." ”

"Was it instigated by someone from the Hunters' Bureau?"

"Watch your words!" Behind Heckel, a hunter suddenly shouted. "What do you call our instigation? I've put up with you for a long time since the beginning! It has always been the people of your church who smear and look down on us hunters, as if they are anxious to draw a line with us. But don't you forget, we have been dealing with those dirty things for you all along, why have we been able to live in the darkness while you can stand in front of you and enjoy the light and support?! Provoke us, and when the time comes, you will find out all the pickled things behind your scenes, and it's a big deal that everyone won't live! ”

Hecker glanced back at the indignant hunter and said lightly, "Pay attention to the words. ”

Although he said that, looking at his words and deeds, it seemed that the hunters in front of and behind him were completely acquiescing in questioning loudly.

The deputy director of the Hunter Bureau touched his chin and gave a thumbs up in Heckel's direction. "Or is your trick high, killing people invisibly, isn't this much more clever than when we wanted to come over collectively to make trouble before? Now the grandchildren of the Central Church must be so angry that their eyes are red. ”

Heckel smiled at him anyway, "Watch your words. ”

Deputy Director: "......"

"Anyway, guys, the situation is clear now. But it's just the removal of a virtuous and unworthy bishop, we shouldn't hurt the peace for this kind of thing, everything is still going according to the original trajectory, and we won't stagnate for one person. ”

Qiu Xuan scolded Heckel.

Her voice was not much suppressed, and although it was not loud, it was still heard by some people.

Hecker himself didn't say anything, and his crowds were the first to open their mouths and curse.
