Chapter 25: Adolf's Conspiracy

"Bertha, drop the bottle of water." Alice looked up at Bertha who was still in the ventilation pipe and said, "Hurry up! ”

"What do you want water for?" Luna was confused, but she didn't answer Luna's words, she hurriedly took the water that Bertha had dropped and set it aside, and then she spread the paper ball on the ground with all her might, then opened the bottle cap and put the water on it.

Luna lowered her body and looked at Alice suspiciously, and after a moment, Alice picked up the soaked piece of paper, "The secret you want came out on its own." ”

Luna gently took the water-soaked and fragile piece of paper, and what was different from what was just now was that a string of words appeared on it: "My dear friend, I don't know who you are, but you are here, I guess it is related to me, so I can only say two things to you, one, I and most of the captives here will be secretly escorted to Cagalli after this meeting, and two, Berenwell will assassinate Franklin at this morning's meeting, please be careful." ”

"It's ......"

"This is a message from your mother." Alice looked at Luna solemnly, "You come with me first." With that, she pulled Luna to the door.

"What?" Luna asked in a whisper, Alice made a stop-puff gesture and pointed to the door, Luna understood what she meant, she put her ear to the door, and Johnson's voice came over, "My lord, I have something to report." ”

"Say it quickly."

"According to intelligence organizations, we have found traces of black wolves and silver foxes." Johnson said.

"Isn't it just a pack of wolves that have lost their leader?" Adolf said impatiently, "It would be nice to have a few more dogs." ”

"But......" Johnson paused, "I haven't finished yet......"

"Then you speak first."

"My lord, we found out that your old adversary, Mark, is still alive......"

"What!" Adolf yelled, and through the crack in the old wooden door, Luna could clearly see that Adolf's face was panicking, and he was anxiously pacing back and forth in the corridor above.

After a moment, Adolf smiled bitterly, "It's the Pinkerton of the 22nd century...... He thought for a moment, stopped pacing, turned around and said, "Berenwell, how many dead troops do we have left?" ”

"So far......," Berenwell flipped through the file in his hand, "and two Othello Amadeus Zach and Mary Robert." ”

Adolf's face changed from anxiety to anger as he threw his head at Johnson, "Send them to me!" ”

"But ......"

"But what!" Adolf roared like a mad dog.

"My lord, these two of us have not completely brainwashed and tampered with their memories, and there is a fifty percent chance that they will break away from the control of the mind chip." Berenwell hurriedly explained.

"Then give me the remaining 50 percent to fight!" Adolf yelled, "Fail, I'll let you be buried in this world with your research!" Did you hear me! ”

These words frightened Berenwell so much that he immediately fell to his knees on the ground, and kept saying "yes" in his mouth.

In the silence that followed, Adolf beckoned Johnson to sign that they could go, and then said to Berenwell, "Franklin needs a priest to attend his military salute this morning." ”

"My lord, I'll go myself." Berenwell said tremblingly.

"And the question about the game, I didn't ask just now." Adolf said, "How's it going?" ”

"Michelle has already accepted the declaration of war from the teams participating in the competition," Johnson said, "and now send troops." ”

"Very well," Adolphus praised, "all that's left is to deal with the splinter groups in our country, anyway, first deal with all the Crusader Blades, Sword of Judgment, Shadow Warriors, and of course Mark first." ”

"Yes, Master Adolf," Johnson bowed, "I'll order it at once." ”

"May the Great Creator guide us!" Adolf crossed his hands over his chest and scanned his surroundings, "That's it, I have to leave now, the new organization still needs to go back and deal with the war." ”

Luna and Alice waited with their backs against the wall until Adolf and the others left, leaving only Berenwell lying on the ground.

Seeing Luna's solemn expression, Bertha asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I have to go back!" With that, Luna paused, "I'm going to have to stop their plans, mine go find Mr. Franklin and Mr. Mark." ”

"How do you stop their plans? How did you find Mr. Mark? Alice's question causes Luna to ponder.

"Bertha, tell me the nearest route to the church in the center of the detention center in this tunnel."

"Right above your head, just get out and it's OK."

"Good." Luna continued, "Bertha and Alice are back to Cavlin, I'm going to the south side of the Lower Cathedral to have a look, and tell Cafrin what happened, maybe they're the only ones who can get the word out now!" ”

"You're going to go alone?" Bertha was surprised and asked, "Are you crazy?" ”

"There's no time for us to think about it now," Luna said solemnly, "Anyway, go back and inform Cavlyn of them, I'll ......go down first," and before Bertha could speak, she quickly climbed up to the hole above her head.

Luna made her way to the tunnel above, and quickly found her way through the sonar-sensing Livy map, albeit in the darkness with panic.

Luna slowly moved forward with her back against the wall until the light appeared in front of her. That day, Tuesday, December 26th, Luna gently pushed open the manhole cover above her head and peered through the gap. Well, there was no one guarding the church door, and then she quickly climbed up, put the manhole cover, and headed into the church.

The church was very close, and there were only a few monks and nuns who had gone to pray for the morning. In order to avoid the attention of others, Luna, therefore, she sneaked into the dressing room on the side, changed into a set of nun's robes, and then pretended to pray, and slowly walked towards the stairs on the right side of the church, entering the stairs, Luna immediately turned right and went upstairs, then opened a colorful glass bay window, climbed towards the church, relying on the invisible ability of the coordinator, Luna easily climbed up to the hut on the roof.

Through the crack in the window, Luna saw that there was more square at the foot of the church than before, and it was crowded with citizens of all shapes, including men with their wives, men with their families, merchants, and nobles of the box court.

As they said earlier, Franklin and his ally Ronald Dan are here today.

Luna surveyed the men, and as she scanned the steps in front of the church, she spotted a familiar figure in the back of Jaceline, and then Luna climbed up the bay window, grabbing her hand just as she was about to jump.

Luna subconsciously looked back, it was Alice, and just as Luna was about to ask her, Alice covered my mouth, "Don't talk yet." Seeing Luna's nod, Alice let go.

Following Alice, the two hurried downstairs to the most unobtrusive position on the other side of the eaves, and climbed down, Alice's movements were as nimble as a cat.

Alice blends into the crowd with Luna, leaning on her nun's robes, keeping her head down as much as possible and using the crowd as cover as she can.

Then Luna came up behind Jaceline, and Alice tapped my mother on the shoulder. Jacelyn didn't look back, she said calmly, "Very good, you're here?" ”

"Mom......" Luna whispered.

"Don't talk yet." Jaceline continued, "I know you want to ask me why I wasn't captured and my story over time, but now is not the time for us to catch up......"

"But ......"

"Shhh......h ”

"Them?" Luna couldn't believe it, and just as Jacelyn finished speaking, the people in the square made a way, and the herald on the side raised the trumpet to his mouth, and then blew the salute music, "Luna, let's not talk about this for now, Franklin is coming, anyway, you get out of here first, Berenwell is going to kill today." ”

"Berenville? Is that the pastor? He's not ......" Before Luna could finish speaking, Jaceline pointed down the third row of the aisle, "That silver-haired little sister, can you take Luna there?" Alice nodded, and then dragged Luna to the place.

Franklin and his wife, Clarice, were the first to appear, coming from the bell tower opposite. She held their eldest daughter, Louise, and five-year-old Bruce proudly walked to his father's right.

Behind him, the nanny walks up with three-year-old Maria, while Franklin holds baby Leon, wrapped in red satin.

Behind them is Samuel Child. As they passed, the people in the square bowed down respectfully, and Berenwell and two other ministers in charge of the reception greeted them at the door of the church, faintly visible of the blades they had hidden under their sleeves.

The Franklins arrived at the door of the church, followed by the priests, and the citizens of Wharton entered, in order of status. Just then, the man behind him gently touched Luna with his elbow, and then pointed at the crowd opposite.

In the crowd, Luna spotted the Berenville Assassins, who eagerly whispered to her, "Get there!" Before I could look behind me, the man who had heard the voice was gone.

More and more people walked into the cathedral until there was no room for anyone, and the later ones had to stand outside the Whitechapel. Luna and Alice slowly pushed through the crowd and walked into the church.

The dawn slowly dissipated, and the sun brightened......
