“Campione…… Godslayer...... Demon King ......"

The Minister's pupils contracted sharply, and he muttered to himself, as if the three nouns had a strange magic, and a piercing chill suddenly ran down his spine.

The people in the office, unaware of what was happening, looked at him strangely, and became very interested in the document.

What kind of top-secret information can make this political creature shudder?

- Isn't it confirmation of when the end of the world is coming?

"Ahem, has the authenticity of this document been verified?"

After quickly going through the documents in his hand several times, the minister took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and asked in as relaxed a tone as possible.

From the bottom of his heart, he rejects this absurd, blasphemous, and demonic heretical rumor, but the changing trend of the world forces him to face up to this problem and look at it "rationally".

Instead of adopting a pale and weak "I don't believe", "I don't accept", and "these are all fake" practices and attitudes.

"The authenticity has been confirmed, and this is indeed the letter of Cardinal Antonio Tubes to the Papal Chamber at the beginning of the twentieth century, but only a part of it is extracted."

The daredevils replied honestly.

"But we can only confirm the authenticity of the letter itself, but we can't confirm the authenticity of the contents, so I hope you can understand, minister."

"I understand......," the minister nodded, then hesitated, walked back and forth a few steps, and then asked—

"Why is there only a partial excerpt?"

"Because the original letter has a lot of content, and some parts are damaged, and the management system of the Vatican Library is also very strict......"

The daredevil's face was embarrassed, and he said cautiously.

"In order not to arouse suspicion, our people were only able to find an opportunity to pass on a small fraction of what he considered to be the most valuable transcriptional information."

“……”

“……”

The minister pondered for a moment, then said to himself, "Maybe next, we will focus on the Vatican." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then tacitly lowered their heads, deeply agreeing with this.

The Vatican's collection of books is world-renowned, and its library is one of the most famous in the Western world, and the early Papal Library, which doubled as an archive, unfortunately lost its collection in the thirteenth century.

The main collection is theological books, while non-religious books include art, architecture, languages, literature, history and philosophy, mathematics and science...... In terms of depth, the coverage of its social science books is slightly insufficient.

But the collection is extremely distinctive-

Early prints of the writings of Aristotle, Dante and Virgil......

and a large number of manuscripts from before the 2nd century......

Sketches and letters of Michelangelo's works......

It can be said that over the centuries, the collection has become richer and richer. The interior of the library has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, and many pre-Christian documents are housed in it.

In 1994, the entire Vatican Library had 2 million printed books and serials, including 8,000 printed books from 1,500 years ago, and 65 were still printed on parchment.

There are also 75,000 manuscripts from the pre-second century Latin, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Thiopic and Syriac scripts......

65,000 volumes of historical files divided into 23 special collections......

More than 100,000 pictures, engravings, maps and engravings, 330,000 Greek, Roman and papal coins and medals......

This is an absolutely unimaginably large wealth, not to mention that the publicly available data is already so staggering that there is no deeper secret...... It's really only a fool who would believe what they say.

But because of this, managing the amount of work that goes into managing those precious collections is an amazing task...... Even if Italy does it itself, it will feel that one head and two are big.

After all, it is not saved on the hard disk, saved on the computer, saved on the server, there are many data backups, no matter how you get the files that are not afraid of damage.

It is a paper-based, physical precious collection, many of which are still unique books, coupled with the age, the material problem is a hard injury, even if it is carefully preserved, it will inevitably decay, and the action of turning the page a little bit may tear the pages apart.

The Vatican, a strange country on the world map, even with a little bigger nose, is naturally even more impossible to cover everything.

I'm afraid that they themselves can't figure out what kind of secrets are hidden in their vast and sweaty collections, right? After all, they can't even be busy with restoration, so how can they have time to slowly flip through those precious paper documents?

"It's a waste of what they put there, and it's only here here in Italy that it works better......"

After thinking for a moment, the minister looked at the young man from before and asked.

"How many people have we planted in it...... Well, I mean the jobs that have access to the collections. ”

"This ...... The library is divided into five departments: Manuscripts and Archives, Printed Books and Paintings, Cataloguing and Using, Coin and Art, and Restoration and Reproduction. There are 80 staff members in total, and we have at least two people in each department. ”

The daredevils didn't need to think at all, and answered quickly as if they knew it by heart.

And although it is said that in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, during the period of the Counter-Reformation, the library suffered from the forbidden catalogue, and it was only in the middle of the seventeenth century that liberal scholarship was once again welcomed...... But in reality, the catalogue of banned books still exists, and this is a secret that our people have access to. ”

The cardinal's epistle was included in the list of banned books, so they had no way to bring it out.

As for the development of eyeliner in the Vatican, Italy's conditions are really unique, after all, the Vatican is a "country China"-

Located in the northwestern corner of Rome, the capital of Italy, it is bordered by Italy on all sides, that is, ...... was surrounded.

No matter how bad an intelligence agency is, it can easily nail several nails where it needs in this situation......

"Very good, then the next central work will be carried out with the Vatican as the core!"

The minister made a swift decision.

For a while, everyone has been operating in Milan, trying to get a breakthrough from there, but there has been no progress.

Although those people haven't given up yet, the minister has long felt that it is definitely just useless work...... Even if there was anything special in Milan before, it is definitely not there now.

After that amazing storm that raged in the dark, even if there was a hidden extraordinary, it would definitely be more restrained and disappear now...... After all, everyone knows the truth of scaring snakes.

It's just that no one else is willing to give up, but he has seen it through and is ready to shift his focus decisively.

Anyway, if you continue, you won't see any hope for the time being, so it's better to first grasp the clues you have seen, concentrate on following the vine, and get results from another aspect.

……

……

The night in Milan is very charming...... What a ghost!

It may have been a very charming and charming city in the past, but after the ravages of the dark storm that had been, it has now become a little more polar.

Although it is not enough to say that there are people in mourning in every household, it is obvious that this time is definitely not suitable for any celebrations, carnivals and night banquets, and not many people go out on the street as they used to.

In addition, it is already winter, the temperature is unusually cold, and the night in Milan is also quite cold.

Many shops are also closed for a period of time to express their condolences, and although it is not impossible to find a place to eat, drink, and shop, etc., the atmosphere of the whole street is really wrong.

So Miss Chai Ying and Qianyan's little beauty assistant, after going out, returned in disappointment in less than half an hour.

Compared to the daytime, there are too few people on the streets at night, and they feel like they are visiting a ghost town, which is very uncomfortable......

And the teams that could easily hide in the crowd to protect them will become very conspicuous on the deserted streets, making it easier to attract attention and arouse suspicion.

In desperation, they could only sigh and return disappointed.

At the same time, there was a more empathetic feeling, which had only been a bird's-eye view of the devastated area of Milan just as the plane was about to land, and there was not much thought about it other than to feel the destructive power of the disaster.

After all, at the time of the incident, they had not experienced it in person at the scene, nor had they lost anything, and they lacked a sense of reality.

It was only now that they realized how much loss, pain and trauma the terrible plague had caused to the people of the city.

"Sister Chai...... This can't happen in our country, right? I always feel so uncomfortable......"

When she walked into the elevator, Qian Yan suddenly spoke, her little face was no longer that cold expression, but full of troubles and entanglements.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries...... As a member of the Special Division, she knew very well that the world was changing in a way that was different from what it had ever been.

Ancient powers are being revived, and extraordinary mysteries are creeping in...... It is as if there is a big invisible hand playing with this planet, mortals are like ants, and the world has always been firmly controlled by the true master.

After all, ignorance is the greatest happiness, and she has lost such happiness.

"This ......"

Miss Chai Ying paused slightly, and then sighed, she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but found that it was impossible for her to give a definitive conclusion.

It's not like you won't say you won't, how it depends entirely on luck, and those terrifying beings who don't look like human beings, and where they go, it's the end of the world......

Mood.

This feeling of being controlled by others is indeed very unsettling, Miss Chai Ying forced down the emotions in her heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "Who can say this kind of thing clearly, what we can do is ...... It's ......"

Qian Yan was still waiting to listen to her Chicken Soup for the Soul, only to find that Miss Chai Ying's tone was slowly lower, and her eyes had been staring at a certain place.

She subconsciously looked over and suddenly felt a strong feeling that her scalp was about to explode.

On the elevator control panel, in addition to the twelve floors seen before, new buttons appeared.

There are five extra buttons in the blank area, ranging from "-1" to "-5......
