Chapter 315: The Vatican of the Closed Country
The Pope's room was built relatively old, and although the walls were thicker, the soundproofing was mediocre, and the roar of the bed shattering was transmitted, and the Swiss Guards, who were responsible for guarding the Pope's safety, heard the sudden loud noise.
The members of the guard who were on duty that night hurriedly packed their outfits and rushed towards the Pope's room under the leadership of their commander.
"Hurry up, check your weapons!"
The person in charge that night was a lieutenant, and the loud noise in the Pope's room made him break out in a cold sweat.
It has been a long time since the Guard has responded to an emergency, especially the Pope's security, and although there have been exercises, most of them are coping, and the frequency is also calculated in years.
The nearest member of the night watch was not far from the Pope's room, and was a short walk to the door.
"There's a bright light!"
A corporal of the Guard pointed to the light peeking through the crack in the door, which had a sense of flux, and obviously not the soft light of the Pope's room.
The lieutenant made a gesture of preparation, and the guards under his command opened the safety of their firearms.
They only use ancient cold weapons when performing honor guards, and they still use modern firearms when they are responsible for normal safety.
Seeing that everything was ready, the lieutenant loosened his collar and knocked on the door "Knock Knock~".
"Your Excellency, are you there? Your Excellency, answer me if you hear it!!"
Pope Peter was now very nervous, forced by the instantaneous increase in oppression, and involuntarily took several steps back.
However, he could also see that the angel was simply angry and did not plan to do anything to him.
"Your Excellency, if you don't answer, we're going to bang on the door. ”
The lieutenant shouted into the room, but received no response, and gestured to the two members of the team who were already ready.
The latter two comprehended, regardless of the nervous and sweaty foreheads, one accelerated, and directly slammed into the door together.
Everyone present understood that if something really happened to the Pope, the members of the Guard, especially the members of the Guard who were on duty that night, would never be able to come out again, if they were not torn apart by the faithful.
At this time, Peter had just reacted from the lieutenant's sentence "I want to hit the door", and hurriedly shouted to the door: "Don't... ”
"Bang~"
Before he could finish speaking, the door had been slammed open, and a group of guards rushed in.
Seeing the strong light source in the room, he subconsciously raised his gun, but then he felt a strong attack, and he felt that he was hit by a locomotive.
"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~""Bang~"...
The guards in the line all flew upside down and crashed into the walls of the room, and the two near the doorway flew backwards from the doorframe and crashed into the other side of the hallway.
The only person present who was okay was Pope Peter, who took two steps forward with all his might.
"Your Excellency, please calm your anger, I apologize for my inappropriate remarks, uh, for my inappropriate thoughts, I had no intention of offending you, these children of the guards are innocent, if you want to punish me, please punish me!"
Gabriel looked at him with a blank face, and finally retracted his wild momentum when Peter was almost under pressure.
"Pap~", "Pap~", "Pap~", "Pap~"...
The guards who had been pressed against the wall and could not move fell one by one, gasping for breath with pale faces.
I couldn't breathe at all just now, but in just a dozen seconds, it seemed like I was about to suffocate.
But the strange thing is that when a dozen or so guards were pressed against the wall, except for the shattered bed, everything else in the room, such as desks and vases, was not affected in the slightest.
The lieutenant rubbed the sweat from his face with his hand, and looked up at the light source, which had weakened a lot, and could see the outline.
It was a humanoid with three pairs of wings, and as you focused, it gradually revealed its true form.
Angel!
All the guards involuntarily jumped out of their hearts with such an answer.
"Your Excellency, the Pope ... This... This is?"
"This is the Seraph, Gabriel!"
Hear the Pope's answer.
The words 'Archangel' and 'God's Messenger' flashed through everyone's minds in an instant.
But why do angels do it to us? Shouldn't we be the most faithful believers in God on earth?
Similar doubts are not only lingering in the minds of the guards, but even Pope Peter is actually confused, no, Peter actually has a "terrible" guess, but he just doesn't want to admit it, and the angel's anger is just a chain reaction caused by the idea of escapism in his own heart.
"Pope Peter Berger, do not run away from the answer in your heart. ”
"I ask in my capacity as a representative of the contractor, do you want to maintain this status quo?"
"Do you want to deceive yourself all the time?"
"Give me an answer, no matter what, in the name of the Seraph Gabriel, and we will keep the oath and help you through the barren period before the resurgence. ”
Peter Berger's character is still very noble, and Gabriel has to admit that how he will choose is actually predictable.
。。。
On the second day, the Vatican's contemporary pope issued the Supreme Decree of the Catholic Church.
The Vatican temporarily closed all tourism programs, the city temporarily closed its access to the outside world, and recalled the cardinals, commonly known as cardinals, to the world.
This move not only caught tourists who were originally planning to visit the Vatican by surprise, but also had a huge international impact.
Governments and national media have speculated about the purpose of the Vatican's move, and given the current influence of the Catholic Church in the world, the issuance and confirmation of this news is undoubtedly a bombshell.
It has aroused the discussion of believers around the world.
But the happiest thing is the journalists, such a big gimmick and big news, enough to hype up the heat for a long time.
All of a sudden, on news radio and online news in various countries, all kinds of "inside information" about the Vatican came one after another.
Those with professional ethics mostly start with guessing and analysis, and some unscrupulous media simply end with affirmative sentences, but in fact, all reporters are blocked from the Vatican, and there is no special news, and they can only "break the news" by taking photos of bishops who return in a hurry and the Vatican's frequent patrols of the gendarmes and guards.
Internationally, the most acute sense of smell is undoubtedly the three founding members of the World Tree Alliance, and the other three new member states.
The news that the Vatican actually met privately with different races has spread among the high-level leaders of the six countries.
Speculation about whether angels are earth fantasy species has long appeared, but due to the existence of the "Secret Regulations for Non-Psionic Individuals", it is impossible to directly understand the races that do not want to come into contact, and similarly, this regulation also restricts the infringement and contact of special races to human non-psionic individuals.
But now that the Angel Clan itself has taken the initiative to contact the human race, and the supernatural forces that are the guardians of the Terran have acquiesced to the Angel Clan's actions, it shows that there must be a hidden secret.
The regulations were also unlocked, allowing countries to obtain first-hand public information from the angel clan, and there was also a problem at hand.
What should the World Tree Alliance do with the Vatican?
