Chapter 42 The Bishop Invites You to Tea
When the church people came, Benjamin was sleeping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, he also wanted to take out the "Introduction to Magic" and the water element crystals and study them carefully. But because he thought that the people in the church might appear at any time, he decided to hide them and not take them out yet.
Thankfully, he didn't really take it out.
At about one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, the church people came. It was a middle-aged man dressed as a priest, who looked very polite, and knocked on the door first, and waited for Benjamin to wake up in a daze, and then entered the room after saying "please come in".
In addition to disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night, he is indeed a quite "polite" person.
When it comes to their sworn enemy, the mage, the people of the church are so domineering and polite.
"Your Excellency Reese, Your Excellency Bishop was deeply moved when he heard of your deeds against the Fallen in the outer city. We would like to ask you to come to the cathedral and talk to you about the fight against the Fallen, I wonder if it is inconvenient for you?"
The pastor walked over to Benjamin's bedside and spoke in a kind and calm voice.
When he first heard this voice, Benjamin couldn't help but think that he was really a good man to be a pastor. Even if this person says something like "I'm going to kill you", it can make people feel that he is saying it for your good.
Benjamin suddenly felt a little nauseous, like he was tired of eating too much inferior saccharin.
"Okay, you wait, I'll get up. I'm also trying to talk to the bishop about it. He wiped his sleepy eyes, sat up from the bed, and said.
What else could he say, the other party's words were a soft knife, and there was no room for refusal.
Moreover, he also expected this scene.
"Are you ready for the fake memories that the church will extract?" Benjamin asked mentally as he got out of bed.
"The memory file has been created, all memory input has been completed, magic-related memory replacement has been completed, it is being updated in real time, the memory input of the previous second is complete, and the memory of this second is being entered. ”
The sound of the system sounded more reliable than ever, and Benjamin was a little moved for some reason.
“...... Thank you. He said in his heart.
If it weren't for such a thing in his head, he would be able to speak with him, get nervous, and stand up and play a role at critical moments. Benjamin may have collapsed now.
The system didn't answer him, still repeating things like "The memory of the previous second is complete, and the memory of this second is being typed".
It dawned on Benjamin that it was the amnestic work that took up most of the system's CPU. The system doesn't have free memory to get sick, which is why it's so reliable.
Well, white moved.
So Benjamin got up, followed the priest, and walked through the hallway of the Reeser family in the middle of the night. Everyone in the family is asleep. In the absence of anyone else to find out, they went out of the house.
Outside the gate of Reese's house, a knight waited quietly.
Benjamin glanced at it, a little disappointed, it wasn't one of the two knights he had just met.
Don't know what happened to them?
Escorted by strange knights and led by priests, Benjamin once again arrives at St. Peter's Basilica. It was not the first time he had come to the cathedral in the middle of the night, but every time he came here, he felt an involuntary palpitation.
I wonder if these priests, knights, or bishops and popes here, will feel this way?
"This is it, Lord Reese, the Bishop is waiting for you inside. ”
Finally, they stopped in front of a door.
Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little nervous. His previous meetings with the bishop had been in the confessional, and they had never spoken face-to-face. This time, however, the meeting place was chosen in an ashram dedicated to priests – and the church was going to play for real.
It seems that the strength of the elder mage has attracted considerable attention from the church.
Benjamin looked the same, smiled at the knight and priest behind him, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Compared to the magnificence of the cathedral, the decoration in the ashram is much simpler. In addition to the statue of the god and the fresco of Abel, there was only a table and a few books on the table. Other than that, there wasn't even a chair.
The bishop has his back to the door and appears to be looking at the fresco. It was only after Benjamin walked in that he finally turned around and looked at Benjamin with a smile.
"Lord Reese, you're finally here. ”
Before the door opened, Benjamin's heart was pounding and pounding. However, as he walked into the room and approached the bishop, his mood somehow calmed down.
Maybe it's the constant repetition of the system's voice that makes Benjamin want to laugh a little bit, and he loses all the tension.
He had nothing to fear.
"Your Excellency, the outer city is terrifying. The degenerate waved his hand, and it was a great wave, and if it weren't for the cross you gave me, my lordship, I would have died there!" he said, with a somewhat frightened expression.
After many times of practice, he has become more and more familiar with his performance.
"Your Excellency, time is running out, so I'll tell you straight. The bishop smiled and felt no emotion, "You have met a new depraved in the outer city, and you are a very powerful degenerate. In order to carry out God's mission, we want to be able to read your memories and look for some usable clues. Lord Reese, I wonder if you are willing to make such a sacrifice for God?"
Really.
Benjamin only felt glad in his heart, fortunately he had been prepared, otherwise it would have been over.
However, although he had expected it in his heart, there was still a panicked look on his face, and he said, "Read, read memory, will this affect me?"
The bishop smiled expressionlessly and reassured, "Don't worry, reading the memory won't cause you any harm, you just need to close your eyes and be fine for a while." You won't even feel anything. ”
Benjamin looked confused, as if he didn't quite understand the bishop's words, but nodded anyway and said, "Just close your eyes, then...... That's good. ”
As he spoke, he obediently closed his eyes.
But I thought in my heart that the critical moment had come.
Two seconds after he closed his eyes, suddenly, he felt his head ache, but not so violently, and the system sound that had been repeating stopped for a moment.
After a short dead silence.
"It worked! When the power of detection came in, I submitted the forged memories to it, and now the power of detection is gone. The system said in his head.
Hearing this, Benjamin's hanging heart finally let go.
He simply opened his eyes. I saw that the bishop standing opposite him closed his eyes at this moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was flipping through the memories forged by the system.
Seeing this, Benjamin felt a little bottomless, and asked in his heart: "Your memory, no problem, does he feel wrong?"
The system replied very confidently: "Just a mortal, you still want to find out the bugs in my plot? What are you worried about, the person who can see through me has not yet been born!"
“......”
Benjamin suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
System...... What kind of memories did he make up?
