103 The world behind this world
The taxi creaked and stopped in front of the Lockhard Hospital on Alvarado Street, and Lei Rui sat in the passenger seat, and through the window, he saw the huge cross on the outer wall of the Lockhard Hospital.
The scene here Lei Rui frowned slightly, it was not at all the same as the scene he remembered. When he first came to this space-time world, he was familiar with the lead-gray sky, the rolling waves, the bumpy landing craft, and the helmet and the MI Garand semi-automatic rifle, but here, except for the cross, he could not find any familiar place.
This is the symbol of the Rockhard Hospital, which, according to rumors, was protected from the bombing of Nazi Germany during the Great British Air Raid, and it was the great cross and the glory of the Lord that protected the Rockhard Hospital from the bombing of Nazi Germany.
The taxi creaked again, threw down Konstantin, and sprang forward.
After Constantine and Father Hannasee got off the bus one after another, Chase? Kramer took Lei Rui alone, all the way to introduce him to the landmarks of London, leaving Constantine, Chase became extraordinarily eloquent, as soon as Lei Rui asked what was going on with the demon, Chase was like opening another even bigger talking basket, and he couldn't stop at all.
"Hah! Demon! As he drove his cab down the streets of London, he said, "Ray, you're asking the right question, and no one knows more than I do!" Of course, I mean, no one knows more than I do but John! ”
"You know, at the beginning of the creation of the world, Satan went to hell after the fall and fought against heaven, and in order to fight for the belonging of all souls in this world, our world, God and Satan made a bet that neither heaven nor hell could directly intervene in this world, only influence! You know what impact means, right? Chase asked, turning his head.
Lei Rui nodded.
Chass held the steering wheel with his left hand, waved his right hand emphatically, glanced at Lei Rui, and continued to gush, "From now on, demons and angels cannot directly cross the barrier and descend into this world!" But all agreements are flawed, right? Those mongrel demons, that is, those who trade with Satan with their souls, become Satan's spokesmen in this world, we call them demagogues, mongrels, and their only goal in this world is to bewitch more people into Satan's arms! Make a deal with Satan with your soul, instigate people to commit crimes, and when you die, you can only go to hell, and so on! ”
"What about heaven? Just let Satan cheat like this? Lei Rui asked.
"Of course not!" Chase turned his head again and replied affirmatively, "Heaven can also have half-angels!" The task of these half-angels is to protect humanity so that when the final judgment day comes, the world will return to heaven! ”
Lei Rui always felt that something was wrong when he heard it, God's bet with Satan was not so much a bet as an agreement! The problem is that God is making a deal with Satan, and the bargaining chip is the human soul! In other words, no matter who wins in heaven or hell, nothing happens to humanity! The human soul is nothing more than the spoils of their carve.
This is a contest between heaven and hell, and strangely, what about the gods on Mount Olympus? And what about the Norse gods to which Thor, the god of thunder, belongs? and other gods, where are they in this world's gamble?
Lei Rui had more and more questions in his heart, not realizing that since activating the special skill Transcendent Perception, his way of looking at things has been a little different, and it is precisely because he is an atheist, not a believer, and does not have an innate affinity and preference for God and heaven, so he can derive so many questions that feel wrong when he hears these secrets of heaven and hell from Chase.
Just as he was pondering, Chase suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the arched building not far in front of him, and reminded, "Look, this is the building of the Admiralty!" You're looking for Naval Intelligence, right? It's definitely here! Hey Ray, let me remind you, you pay enough fare to use the car for the next few days, do you need me to wait for you here? ”
"Of course!" Lei Rui replied.
He gave Chase a $10 bill, and although he didn't know much about the price level of the era, he knew that as a member of the Rangers, he, and others, Meli, Rapin, Capazzo, Wade, and Jason, had a monthly salary of $40! Sergeant Howard was taller, $50, and no one knew how much Captain Miller was.
He agreed with Chase to wait around the corner in front of him, and walked into the Admiralty building alone.
Before he entered the gate, he was stopped by the heavily armed guards, the entire round arched office building, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, heavily guarded, and some military police wearing MP helmets were patrolling, and the personnel who could enter the building had to go through at least three checkpoints, and they could only be released after a detailed search and inspection.
Lei Rui is a little strange, why does this place feel like a great enemy? Could it be that something is wrong? Or is it that the Red Skull from the last bloodbath at that secret military base has not left London? It's been a long time since that happened!
"I'm looking for Captain Heshu from Naval Intelligence!" Lei Rui explained his intentions, not annoyed at all.
The guards who stopped him didn't listen to what he was saying, and told him directly: "This is a military powerhouse!" Get out of here! Immediately! Right now! Right away! ”
Lei Rui was a little helpless, the identity card that could prove his identity, when he participated in the super soldier transformation program in that secret military base, he was taken back by Major Erit, and later he asked to return to the battlefield, but was arranged by Major Erit to participate in the secret mission of hunting U-571, and the identity card was not returned to him, so that now he has nothing to prove his identity at all!
"I'm looking for Captain Heshu from Naval Intelligence! Private! Lei Rui said with a calm face, "I have something important to find him, and I have delayed it, can you afford this responsibility?" ”
With such a straight face, the momentum immediately changed, the two guards were stunned for a moment, and one of them said to Lei Rui, "Just wait here!" He turned around and entered the hall, and after a while, he walked out quickly, his face full of anger, and he whispered to Lei Rui very unceremoniously: "Leave immediately!" Right now! ”
"I'm looking for a ...... from Naval Intelligence"
"There is no such person!" The guard pulled the bolt of his gun and replied impatiently, "No such damned Captain Heshu!" Get out of here! ”
Lei Rui was really stunned, what do you mean! That damn Captain Heshu, that's exactly what he said, it's in the Department of Naval Intelligence! How could there be no such person?
But there is no way, stay here any longer, these guards may be able to do it, Lei Rui originally wanted to find Captain He Shu and continue the relationship with this organization, but now he can only put this matter aside. As for Captain Taylor and the others, he didn't know where they were at all! The remaining two people, Rogers and Major Erit, might have to go find the secret military base.
Only in the army, on the battlefield, can he establish meritorious service, get meritorious points, and achieve upgrades, and now his meritorious points are still a long way from being upgraded, and to the next level, the merit points will be even more!
"Hey, Ray, where are we going now?" Chase leaned back in the taxi and asked aloud.
Lei Rui looked up and replied, "To the northwestern suburbs of London, I'm going to find a place!" ”
