Chapter 32: The Signal of the Convocation
The bell of the bell tower of the Cathedral of Sorbis has been struck, and the bronze bell, which has not been struck for more than ten years, rings again today. The melodious and silent bells rang throughout the city, as well as the bell towers of the cathedrals of several other cities, as if they had been agreed.
And this is indeed what was agreed.
Half an hour after the bell rang, many people in the eight major cities of Canglan Star left their jobs and went to Canglan City, the capital of Canglan Star.
The Finance and Trade Building in Otfield City, which is one of the top five largest companies in the entire financial industry of Canglan Star, controls part of the financial lifeblood of the entire planet. If you want to work here, it's no longer enough to have a mere academic degree, what you need here is a powerful person. As long as you have the strength, even those who do not even have an accountant qualification certificate or an education diploma can come to work here.
Here, I only know that people who work rigidly will not even survive the internship period.
Today, the director of the human resources department, who had not taken leave even on statutory holidays, suddenly drew up a leave note, and then walked into the general manager's office and handed the leave note to the general manager who was still hungover.
The general manager in a state of hangover was dizzy, but when he saw this fake note, he immediately became drunk and drowsy, and after approving the fake note, the general manager asked the CEO above for leave, regardless of whether he approved it or not, picked up the coat on the hanger at the door and walked out, and the director followed behind him.
At this moment, no one dared to come forward to talk, and the general manager, who always smiled kindly and always gave newcomers a strange strong confidence, turned out to be serious like a warrior at this moment. The eyes that were usually full of encouragement have now turned into a knife-sharp murderous aura, sharp and amazing.
The head of the building's security department also left his position at this moment, he opened his special garage, which had not been opened for more than ten years, and pushed out three black heavy locomotives from it.
This is a two-wheeled all-mountain barrier-free locomotive for the military, which was once the special equipment of the Holy See Crusader Forbidden Army, although it is now an old obsolete product, but it has not yet reached the point where it can be used by ordinary people.
The Minister of Security dismantled all three locomotives, carefully maintained each part, and carefully wiped the rusty parts with engine oil, looking affectionately as if he were looking at his lover.
The VIP elevator leading to the garage on the ground floor opened, and the director and general manager stepped out one after another. The Minister of Security stood just outside the elevator, next to three rejuvenated black locomotives.
"It's been more than ten years, and I don't know if this old guy can still move." The general manager patted the locomotive and said with emotion.
"Don't worry, they're reborn." The Minister of Security grinned.
"Let's go, we can't make people wait." The superintendent also said.
The three of them stepped onto the heavy locomotive, drove out of the garage, and headed towards Canglan City.
……
A batch of fresh pigs and lambs came to the meat factory in the lower district of Haierluo City, as well as ten truckloads of beef cattle.
At this critical moment, the director of the meat factory, who was supposed to command the unloading, suddenly asked for leave and handed over all the work to the deputy, while he trotted home from the meat factory, and then drove a black heavy motorcycle with extreme wind and left Haierluo City.
……
The sales director and human resources director of a large company in Shangcheng District, Haierluo City, suddenly walked out of an important meeting that was underway, this meeting was related to a large contract with tens of billions of funds, and once it was negotiated, the company's status ranking in Canglan City would also be a few steps higher.
But after asking the CEO for instructions, the two directors walked out of the conference room side by side without caring whether they agreed or not.
……
At the same time, all institutions and units on Canglan Star have people asking for leave, regardless of punishment and deduction of wages or important contracts, they must ask for leave. For this, they prefer to resign.
……
The next day, the Cathedral of Sobis.
The century-old church is closed today, rejecting all believers who come to pray. Even the church's staff were given leave and were not allowed to come near the church.
In the prayer hall of the church, rows of wooden pews have been made of many people, but they all seem to sit according to a special class rule. The back row was already crowded, but no one dared to sit in the seats in the front rows.
The people seated were all wearing dark masks, and a pair of Alishan divine butterflies were resting on their shoulders, they were silent and solemn, like a group of cold statues.
The side door of the church's prayer hall opened, and a woman in a nun's dress and a black mask walked in, she looked at the people seated and nodded silently. When they saw this, they all stood up and saluted.
The woman sat in the front row, and there was no one next to her. A pair of Alishan butterflies danced around her and finally landed on a man.
The man was dressed in a black suit, with a black mask on his face and an umbrella in his hand.
"You're here?" Woman greetings.
"yes." The man sits down right next to the woman.
"I heard you're hurt?" The woman asked.
The man put the umbrella aside and smiled, "Where?" It's not that the subordinates exaggerate the facts, it's just a little bruised. Didn't hurt the bones. ”
"What about Lu Chenglong? You didn't catch him? The woman said.
"Let him run." The man laughed to himself, "His words are to be able to create a vacuum within a certain range, and freely control the increase or decrease of air pressure. With this, he escaped after the collapse of the church, and he really didn't want to be a good swordsman. ”
"He was never a good swordsman." The woman laughed stupidly at the man, "That Lu Chenglong has always been known as the rogue sword saint, his victory in every battle is disgraceful, and he has never had an upright sword move competition." ”
"Wouldn't it? I didn't want to be like that before. "Men are rarely so surprised.
The woman naturally knew what he was talking about, "What he says and does doesn't mean that he is also above board in kendo." ”
"Then I was cheated by him...... I'll be looking for him next time. The man said.
He looked around, "Haven't the people come yet?" ”
"Some people have to turn high-speed trains, so it's been a long time and some are late, but it's time for them to come." The woman said.
It wasn't until about eight o'clock that the rest of the people arrived in a hurry, and although there was a tiredness that could not be concealed, there was also excitement at the same time.
They have been immersed in this planet for too long, how many years, a sharp knife will rust after being idle for so long, and the sharp blade that can break through armor has become blunt garbage that can't even cut through raw meat.
But they will return to the battlefield today, in the name of burning heresy!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you're excited, and you're thinking about this long-lost mission." The woman stood up and turned to face the crowd, "I declare in the name of the Director of the First Bureau of the Inquisition that we will make those fanatics pay!" The blood debts and blood feuds they have committed can only be repaid with their blood! ”
Suddenly, in a reverent tone, the Director said, "God will be with us, and He will witness it with his own eyes...... The destruction of the church in Sartan! Let's rejoice! ”
"Yes!" All the presiding judges stood up in unison and responded loudly.
