Verse 9: Landing, the Other Side of Happiness (Part II)
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The Basilica of St. Semyelli is located on the outskirts of the city, some distance from the centre of Cologne, but the environmental changes are not as significant as might have been imagined, except for the denser vegetation on both sides of the road and the increasing number of duplex dwellings in the surrounding area, which barely fits the definition of a "suburb".
The buildings are no longer crowded and dense between buildings, and there are no busy figures of foreign tourists shuttling back and forth on the street, and the refreshing air continues to blow in through the half-open car windows, which suddenly makes Chen Feng, who put away the phone, feel comfortable. If it weren't for the black Chevrolet in the back, I would really like to take advantage of this half-hour drive, rest the leather seats on my head, look at the peaceful scenery outside, and relax......
On a straight road after entering the "SeverinstraΓe", the elderly man who picks up the newspaper in the mailbox in front of his house, the naughty child who plays crazy in the courtyard, the mason who sets up a ladder to repair the roof, and the white-clothed nun standing high on the roadside tree, all make Chen Feng, who has been quiet for a long time, sigh - in the end, it is still a beautiful life on earth that is dominated by human beings.
Hey, wait a minute, what's standing in the tree?!
By the time someone reacted wrong, the car had already driven far away, and for the strange scene he had just seen, Chen Feng, who had withdrawn his head from the window, could only explain it with his own dazzled mistake at the moment: how could a nun climb a tree and stand, it was just a hell of a life......
A few minutes later, the taxi was close to its destination, and the driver wanted to take the two directly to the entrance of the church along the "Severinskloster", but Rolfes weighed it a little and let him stop on the main street where he was currently located, if he was asked by the tracker behind him to say that he didn't know anything else about the normal pick-up and drop-off passengers.
Chen Feng got out of the car and observed the surrounding environment and terrain for a while, and said to himself that he walked with Rolfes to an open field blocked by stone piers on the side of the "Severinskloster" road, and the Basilica of St. Sevili was located in front of him. Unlike the Sanctuaries of Santa Ursula and St. Grian, the exterior walls of this church are not immediately visible masonry, but the upper and lower floors are covered with a small minaret, and except for the "hat" at the top and the blue-gray roof, the rest are painted white, which is spotless from a distance, and is more polished than the snow covered by tiles.
It looks clean, but it's also very basic. Could this be the difference between the treatment of suburban churches and similar buildings in the city center? Chen Feng paced a few steps closer, looking up at the tall cross standing on the side of the outer wall of the church, nearly four meters by sight, all wooden, and the surface was engraved with several rows of German text that were not clear. In contrast, the closed iron gate at the front of the Basilica of St. Semeli is not so literary, and it is better to make some decorations on it, and the two large pieces of black metal are not beautiful at all......
Hey, wait a minute, the door is closed? What about other imports and exports?!
Chen Feng realized this key problem and hurriedly went around to both sides to check, but the only secondary door on the right side of the church was not opened. It's fifteen fifty o'clock, and I can't say it's time to close!
Seeing this, Rolfes quickly understood what was going on: the churches in the city of Cologne, as an annex to the world-famous Cologne Cathedral, were naturally open to visitors every day. The Basilica of St. Semyri, on the outskirts of the city, is only open at certain times for religious services, and is usually not in the afternoon when there are worshippers for Mass. If I remember correctly, the last time St. Ursug led Ning Xue and himself to come, it was Sunday morning.
Is there any mistake, isn't it a waste of all your efforts today? After listening to Rolfez's explanation with hindsight, Chen Feng knocked on the door for a long time, but still did not get any response. The two big iron doors are so strong, and he doesn't have the ability to pick the lock like Xiaozhou, how can he get the third proof of meeting the "Goddess of Fate......
"Do you have anything else with you besides a pistol, such as a door-breaking explosive?"
Rolfes listened to Chen Feng's questioning and rushed to the doctor, if he didn't know that he was joking, he really wanted to call the police on the spot and arrest this guy who was about to blow up the door of someone's church on his first visit: "As a St. GSG officer, the gun is for personal safety reasons!" I'm full, I'm okay, why bring the destruction device? You think I'm you and MooN, doing something shady?! β
Get it, don't pull it down, and don't take the opportunity to make personal attacks on yourself and your brothers. Chen Feng didn't have time to talk to Rolfes, so he hurried around the building to see how he could get inside. Rolfes persuaded him to think of another way, saying that even if he slipped in, he might not find the bronze medal, and what if the priest put it away or took it away?
βFuck!!!β
From the grass with the statues of the characters on one side of the church to the courtyard surrounded by brick walls on the other side, Chen Feng, who had nothing to do, angrily slammed his fist on the iron bar door in front of him. Through the gaps between the shaking railings, you can vaguely see several stone tombstones standing in the courtyard, which vary in height but are generally no more than one meter...... Could it be that this trip is destined not to see the "goddess of fate", nor to save his brother, and the hope and belief that have persisted all the way to this day are just the futility and vain of indulging in illusory?
Rolfes didn't know why Chen Feng, who had always been calm, was suddenly so excited, that he couldn't see that there was someone in the courtyard: "Hey, look, there seems to be a nun inside......"
Well, that's right, I saw one on the tree when I came.
The depressed Chen Feng wanted to respond with this absurd words, but when he raised his head, he was surprised to find that Rolfes was not talking nonsense, and he was not mistaken, there was really a nun in the courtyard! The other party's elegant appearance and outfit are exactly the same as what he saw in the car before, and he is dressed in white, maybe it is the same person......
And the other party's silent gaze seemed to have been paying attention to this side for a long time, until Chen Feng finally discovered its existence at this moment, he raised his hand and pointed at it, and the iron barrage door blocking each other slammed open: "The white-level maid of the 'Boylun Deacon' under the command of the 'Goddess of Fate', I respectfully ask Your Excellency to move to the courtyard for a while." β
Call...... It turned out that it was not that she had seen the ghost before, but that the goddess had already known that she wanted to see her.
Chen Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, stepped into the courtyard between the green grass, although he was surprised by the behavior of the white-clothed nun in controlling the state of objects in the air, but he did not have the heart to delve into the scientific truth: "I am Xu Chenfeng of the Bailing Reconnaissance Battalion of the E Lianhua Brigade, about my brother Zhang Xiaozhou, I have an urgent matter to see the 'Goddess of Destiny'. If the 'Goddess of Fate' is unwilling to see him, please tell Sigdelifa about this situation, Zhang Xiaozhou's life is in danger, and I hope that he will be in the 'past and future bonds' with him, and go to Gillis 581C to save him! β
What the?! MooN He ...... Rolfes now finally understands the reason why Chen Feng came back this time unusually, and he has to hide it from Snow, everything is due to the big thing that happened to his brother.
"Since the goddess has sent me to present the third proof, she naturally does not shy away from seeing me. When you return to Cologne Cathedral, give the priest the insignia of the Three Temples, who will lead you to the headquarters of the Holy Land where the Goddess is located. In addition, the Higdalifa you are talking about is the supreme Valkyrie of our 'Deacons of Boylon', and you should meet her at that time. After speaking, the white-clothed nun took off the last bronze plaque hanging around her neck and was embossed with the buildings of Cologne Cathedral and the surrounding city, and handed it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took it with both hands, stared at the pattern on it, and probably understood something in his heart: it turned out that this third proof belonged not only to the Basilica of St. Semyri, but also to the Cathedral of Cologne. The so-called proof of stepping foot in the Three Temples is actually just a process of investigation by the "Goddess of Fate" to judge the true intentions of the purchaser and whether to allow him to obtain the final key through the information provided by the bronze medal keeper.
The old lady of the reliquary of the Santa Ursula Temple deliberately raised the price of the bronze medal to a very high price, in order to make it unacceptable to ordinary tourists and give up, if she arrived at the Sanctuary of St. Gerian first, I believe the same result would be the same; After receiving the first certificate, the bronze medal keeper of the second church will ask if he wants to buy something similar, and will not sell any other souvenirs, so as to confirm that the other party is not just a mistake; After two temptations, the "Goddess of Fate" knew that someone had indeed asked to see her, so she would send the "Deacons of Boylon" to the white order maids to secretly observe, and if they were willing to give it, they would order it to give a third bronze medal.
But why did the maid choose to appear in such a secluded cemetery, when she had received a clear order, and was she not afraid that she would be blind and unable to see her? Chen Feng's doubts in silence, the words left by the white-clothed nun before leaving were equivalent to answering: "You have been followed for a long time, and we can't come forward or interfere in this." I hope that Your Excellency will be able to return to Cologne Cathedral smoothly and meet the Goddess as soon as possible. β
So that's the case, so what are you waiting for?
Chen Feng said goodbye to the white-clothed nun, and before the stalker could make any move, he hurriedly left the cemetery and prepared to return the same way. However, when he walked to the open area in front of the Sanctuary of San Seweili, he found that the black Chevrolet SUV was parked not far from the side of the road, with reflective film on the windows, and it was impossible to know its interior from the outside. It seems that the other party finally can't bear it anymore. Chen Feng motioned to Rolfes to respond to all changes with no change, pretending not to know, and continued to move forward. At this moment, the four doors of the SUV opened almost at the same time......
βGet down!β
βYou two!β
βGet down!!!β
With a few words of harsh English that followed, a "M16Amax" variant carbine had been put down by the passenger seat on the front hood of the car, while the other three heavily armed soldiers rushed over immediately, aiming the gun at the head with one hand, and kneeling Chen Feng and Rolfes on the ground with the other.
Chen Feng understood the other party's warning, raised his hands high and then turned his face to the ground, but the other party couldn't understand the few words he said to himself in the process of bowing his head Chinese: "Delta Special Forces of the U.S. Army, four people, ordinary protective equipment ......" And Rolfes, as a lieutenant colonel, was so humiliated by several foreign soldiers on his own land, and his heart was full of anger, and he naturally refused to cooperate with all the subsequent requests.
The target of the Delta soldiers this mission is only Chen Feng and his party, as the officer of the E United German Brigade, Rolfes, whose appearance is outside the plan, although I don't know what it has to do with the Chinese, but how to say that this is also her territory, strong guests do not suppress the lord, there is no need to do too much. Seeing this, the Delta soldiers led by him asked one of his subordinates to pull up the German female officer in front of him and take it to the side, while the other soldier under him pointed at Chen Feng's gun and never moved away.
"The results of the facial scan show that it was indeed the target designated by the E-United Artists Division." The leading soldier didn't mind Chen Feng hearing him talking to his superiors, because with the team's traditional style, he couldn't have had a chance to say it, "What to do now?" The German woman who was with him was a lieutenant colonel of the German Brigade of the United E. β
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, his superior's voice was deep but without any hesitation: "Bring back the German lieutenant colonel." As for the Chinese who sneaked back to Earth, other troops are still on the way, I think your car shouldn't be able to sit down, right? β
"Understood."
The leading soldier glanced at his subordinates, who nodded, and immediately put the "M16Amax" in his hand directly against the target's head. I didn't expect the U.S. military to dare to kill people under their noses! Rolfes saw that something was wrong and was about to resist, but Chen Feng, who was threatened by the gloomy muzzle not far away, arrived at this time...... He's still laughing?
"Do it."
Before Rolfes could react to what was going on, there was a sudden gunshot in the air, and only the "pop" sound of the broken cervical vertebrae was heard, and the Delta soldier in charge of the execution of the target fell in response. Between the lightning and flint, Chen Feng rolled violently for half a circle and bounced, and the "Phoenix Immortal Bird" in his hand was accurately thrown into the throat of the Delta soldier led by a few meters away, and used his dying body to block the bullets that might be fired from Chevrolet......
Ronfes came back to his senses, turned around and removed the weapon that the soldier next to him had almost aimed at Chen Feng, and after several elbow blows knocked him down, he kicked the "M16Amax" on the ground and pulled out the pistol on his waist and aimed it at his eyebrows. The Delta Soldier, who was using the hull as a cover, was instantly blown off the head by a second sniper bullet coming from a distance before Rolfes could do it, leaving only the gun that had lost its owner, alone on the hood.
It turned out that Chen Feng had arranged snipers in the surrounding area in advance, so it was no wonder that the situation was so calm.
Since the Delta soldiers came up and wanted their own lives, there was no reason for them to be merciful. Inevitably Rolfes got into trouble, Chen Feng picked up the weapon belonging to the U.S. military, and without saying a word, he walked over and fired three shots at the U.S. soldier lying on his back......
"Let's go."
Chen Feng pressed Rolfice's arm, which still maintained the movement of raising the gun, her expression was a little strange, as if she felt unacceptable that an American soldier was killed alive in front of her. However, Rolfes also knew in his heart that Chen Feng was completely forced to do this, and the matter had come to this point, no matter what the considerations were, he couldn't leave a living.
The ownerless black Chevrolet is in front of them, but Chenfeng and Rolfes agree that it is better to take the taxi when they come, first, they can hide their whereabouts in a low-key manner, and second, the old man who drives makes people feel inexplicably safe. However, when they reached the "SeverinstraΓe", they did not see the familiar yellow car on either side of the street......
"Isn't it?"
Rolfes thought to himself that the gunfire must have alarmed the people around him just now, and the driver was no exception, thinking that something had happened and then running away with his tail between his legs, thanks to the fact that his righteous words were so nice before! Chen Feng asked him not to make judgments, in his own opinion, the driver is not such a person, it is better to calm down and wait.
It didn't take long for a yellow taxi to appear at the end of the street in the field of vision, and it was speeding all the way to this side, the car had not yet stopped in front of the two, and the driver's explanation had already opened the window and arrived first: "A few American soldiers with guns just came down to inquire about your situation, and I said I didn't know, so they didn't allow me to continue to park here, no way, I had to go out and go around." How's it going, are you all right? β
"Good thing you arrived just in time." Chen Feng opened the passenger door for Rolfes, and he sat back in the familiar back seat. The taxi immediately set off and headed straight for the final and initial starting point of the trip, Cologne Cathedral. Chen Feng transmitted the current situation and positioning to his subordinate women in real time through the ear drum system, but was told that his whereabouts were suspected to be locked by satellites, and at this moment the rapid reaction force sent by the US military was encircling this side from all directions, and over the city of Cologne, there were even a few bird helicopters.
In order to take their own lives, the U.S. military really paid a bloody capital this time.
Just when Chen Feng looked out the window and sighed that today was destined to be eventful, a beige "JLTV" military vehicle suddenly appeared in front of him, the speed was neither fast nor slow, and it happened to keep pace with the vehicle he was riding, this joint light tactical vehicle known as the "successor to the Humvee" appeared in the city, obviously not for a ride. The driver's uncle also noticed that the visitor was not good, and was about to slow down and let him pass, but the other party threw the steering wheel and hit the side of his body directly at close range, and the huge impact not only dented and shattered the doors and windows of the main driver's seat, but also almost knocked the fragile taxi into the tram track next to it!
Finally stabilized the trajectory of the car, Rolfis wanted to let the driver go in the wrong direction to avoid the other party's desperate pursuit, but from the rearview mirror, there were two "JLTV" military vehicles following him, if he slowed down or turned around at this moment, the result was bound to be easily intercepted by the other party.
Rolfes didn't have a countermeasure for a while, but that didn't mean that the people in the car could only sit back and wait. Chen Feng briefly explained two sentences in the ear drum system, and asked the driver to speed up and drive forward. Soon, there was a loud explosion from the rear, and one of the "JLTVs" instantly rolled into a ball of fire, while another military vehicle, which was close by, was frightened by the sudden attack and crashed headlong into a large tree on the side of the road......
The taxi driver took this opportunity to quickly turn left and plug into the stone path between several buildings, and at this time, Rolfes saw a black pickup truck behind him, and from a distance, he saw that the tall figure standing in the back compartment in the wind was his former violent student - Zheng Zhejun! And what he is carrying on his shoulders is actually a single bazooka specializing in armored vehicles?!
βHoly γs h i tγ...β
It seems that Cologne, a historical and cultural city on the Rhine and a modern industrial city, will inevitably become a war-torn Jurassic Park today.
In the next few dozen minutes, the taxi driver deliberately picked a small road to detour, and the twists and turns of the route were so varied that not only were they able to avoid all the obstructions of the US military along the way, but even the pickup truck driven by Chen Lun was thrown away without a trace. Finally arrived at the site in front of Cologne Cathedral safely, Rolfes got off the car and felt a whirlwind of the sky, and following the sudden exclamation of the crowd around him, a small bird helicopter above his head was also burning and spinning, until it crashed into the Rhine, and experienced first-hand what is called "deep water"......
Well, at least it shows that the Tyrannosaurus is fine, those who run on the ground after fighting, and those who are idle to scourge the US military to fly in the sky. Chen Feng left 500 euros in his seat, and after thanking the driver's uncle who could drive the car so vigorously at such an age, he pulled up a certain lieutenant colonel who was stunned by the black smoke billowing in the direction of the Hohenzollern Bridge in the distance, and went straight to Cologne Cathedral. For the first time in his life, Rolfes was worried about his future: how would he explain what he had done today when he returned to St. GSG, so that his superiors could convince him that the riots that were taking place in Cologne had nothing to do with him......
Why does it turn out like this every time I am with these Chinese?!
Chen Feng didn't know what kind of madness Rolfes was suddenly hysterical as she ran, but she let out a roar from the heart, but after letting herself stop, she clearly felt the trembling under her feet...... The nearby buildings are shaking, the white doves in front of the Cologne Cathedral are flapping their wings and fleeing, the love locks hanging on the Hohenzollern Bridge in the distance are tinkling, the originally calm river surface under the bridge is gradually rippling, and the rising beads of water bubbles make the whole Rhine look like it is boiling!
The tremor was felt from far and near, and the surrounding people fled to the open field. The impending disaster in her subconscious made Rolfes come to her senses in an instant, but Chen Feng beside her still stood in place, not avoiding it, nor moving towards the church...... If this is not a natural disaster, it can only be a movement that belongs to "it".
The movement was so loud, stronger than every previous one. This feeling reminds me of the first time I saw "it" in the Chernobyl birch forest, and it was also so shocking. It seems that "it" finally no longer shy away from appearing in this time and space, nor does it shy away from appearing in front of everyone in this world......
Above the twin towers of Cologne Cathedral, a disc-shaped space emerges, parallel to the ground and the diameter of the church below the same width. Above the disk, the space continues to extend like a chain, as if a road leads to the sky, but on this road, there is no color. At the beginning of the different dimension, a mecha gradually rose, a giant mecha with a female body as the design curve. And at the same time, there was also a "Zug" class carrier starship belonging to the E United German Brigade.
In the field of vision, the long-lost mecha broke out of the chrysalis, and the surrounding anomalies immediately stopped. The "Zug" star boat landed directly in front of the Cologne Cathedral, the hatch was lowered, and what appeared in front of Chen Feng was the same long-lost Sigdlifa: "Your Excellency Xu Chenfeng, long time no see." By order of the Goddess of Fate, we are here to greet you and go with the Goddess to Gillis 581C. β
It seems that after the white-level maid conveyed what she said to the "Goddess of Fate", she could no longer wait to meet her.
Chen Feng informed the subordinate woman in the ear drum system, asking her to bring the tyrannosaurus and the ghost to Cologne Cathedral as soon as possible, and prepare to board the ship to "go home". Now, I don't know what to do next, Rolfes is the only one left. However, Sigdlifa's subsequent words made her mentality change from lost to flattered: "The goddess also invites Lieutenant Colonel Rolfes to accompany her." Plus, the next time you return to Germany, you'll be the supreme moderation of St. GSG Cologne, taking over everything under the command of the Goddess of Fate. β
"Why is this happening, why is it ...... Choose me? β
Faced with Rolfes's incredulous doubts, Sigdriffa could only explain in words that no one could understand at this stage: "This is the second time that the goddess has set off from Earth to a distant alien planet dozens of light-years away. And these two journeys, for her, are landing on the other side of happiness. For the first time, after arriving on the other side, she found that the other end of the departure was happiness; And this time, she could clearly feel that the other side of the shore carried the only desire she had left in the world, and now that she had arrived, there was no need to come back......"
"What Germany needs in the future is its own 'Lady of Liberty'."
