Chapter 5

"Two out of ten of the security posts we have placed in various locations have been devastated at the same time, and another forty percent have been damaged in larger attacks that followed. Each of the guards was breached within an hour, and the attackers initially concluded that the non-Terrans had done it, but it was not clear what they were doing, and no direct clues had been found..."

A few days later, in a meeting room in an old palace in the Vatican, a clergyman was reporting to Pope Constantine IV about attacks that had taken place across Europe a few days earlier.

His report immediately caused a buzz of applause, and Constantine IV sat in his chair without saying a word, his expression surprisingly calm, and he could not figure out what he was thinking at the moment.

Cardinal Ross frowned, "Inhumans? Do they still have the ability to organize a large-scale counterattack? ”

The priest shook his head: "I don't know, Your Excellency. ”

"Hand of the Devil," Archbishop Ralph asked, "Are there any witnesses?" ”

The clergyman still shook his head: "I'm sorry, there were no witnesses, all the papal guards were killed." ”

The archbishops, who were seated around the round table, immediately let out an exclamation of disbelief. You must know that the destruction of nearly sixty percent of the guard houses means that the network of division against non-human races carefully laid by the Holy See in Europe has been almost completely destroyed, coupled with the devastating blow of the Harpy Island last time, everyone present realizes that unconsciously, the favorable situation after the battle of the Vatican is quietly changing.

"What's going on? Why do non-humans still have such strength? Didn't they use all their strength last time? One of the bishops asked angrily.

The other immediately retorted: "Impossible, according to our estimate of the strength of the non-human race, more than seventy percent of their strength has been completely lost here, and it is impossible to carry out such a large-scale attack again." ”

"So how do you explain what is happening now? Did the devil do it? The bishop said sarcastically.

"Bishop Gray, be careful about your words and deeds, and do not mention words that blaspheme God!"

"So can anyone explain it to me!"

Soon the discussion turned into a pointless argument, and the entire room was immediately drowned in a boisterous soundwave. The priest in charge of the report watched at a loss as the normally respected bishops argued and blamed each other like children, completely at a loss for what to do.

At this moment, two soft gurgling sounds were heard, but it was Constantine IV who knocked on the table with his fingers. The sound was small, but it was as if a signal had been received, and everyone fell silent at the same time.

But he still did not speak, bishops, you look at me, I look at you, and there was an uncomfortable silence in the room.

Finally, Constantine IV said to the clergyman: "There are no eyewitnesses, so is there any video material?" ”

Hurriedly looking at the folder in his hand, the priest said, "Yes, a security post has not been completely destroyed, and our investigators have extracted a photo from the surveillance footage. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a slide and hit it on the wall across the conference room. Seeing the image displayed by the slide show, everyone present gasped.

The photograph is blurry, except for the half-length of a large humanoid object, with its back to the crowd, raising a hand as if to grasp something. Since the surveillance footage is black and white, it can only be vaguely seen from the contrast of light that it is daytime, and the humanoid object is being exposed to sunlight.

"What's that?" After a while, a bishop asked suspiciously.

Ralph said in a deep voice, "Zombies. ”

"What!?" The bishop looked back in amazement: "But I thought it was daytime in the picture." ”

Rose also nodded, "That's right, it's indeed daytime inside." That is, this zombie carried out the attack during the day. ”

"How is it possible, no zombies can move during the day!" The crowd exclaimed.

The priest reported, "That... The first round of attacks was carried out during the day, and this video was extracted at that time, and it seems that the other side did it on purpose. ”

"But it's unbelievable," said one of the bishops.

"Alright." Constantine IV interrupted him: "There is nothing strange about this, the history of the non-human race is longer than that of us humans, and even if this blow is heavy, it is not surprising that they still have some hidden strength. What makes people curious is that these zombies, it seems that the non-humans seem to have done something interesting. ”

Rose nodded as well, "yes, we'll have to find out what they are." ”

After a moment's silence, Constantine IV said to a bishop: "Bishop Frank, this matter will be left to you, please immediately start to let the Knights Templar investigate." ”

With a sound of agreement, Bishop Frank and the rest of the group withdrew, leaving only Ross and Ralph in a large room. Both looked at Konstantin IV and knew he must have something to say.

After a moment, Konstantin IV rubbed his hands together and whispered, "Ross, how are they prepared?" ”

Surprised to look at Ralph, Rose said, "Yes, it's all hatched." ”

"Get that side ready and ready to go."

"This...!?" Ross was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "It will take some time for the transformation and commissioning work to be completed, and if you rush out, you can't predict what will happen." ”

Ralph also said: "Our suppression of the dragon clan is still ongoing, although it is going well, but it is not yet possible to convince the other party to move to the Sahara Desert. If they are dispatched at this time, I am afraid that these reptiles will be irritated... Once the dragons and non-humans unite, it will be a great disaster. ”

Konstantin IV shook his head and said: "There is no time to hesitate, this incident is obviously a premeditated plan of the Inhuman Alliance, after destroying our warning network, their next target must be the Vatican!" ”

Ralph was shocked: "Why, isn't the lesson of the last time enough?" ”

Rose nodded: "The Pope is right. The last time we were victorious, the Vatican's defensive barrier had been completely destroyed, and we could not resist the attack. For the Inhuman Alliance, conquering the Vatican again, both in practical significance and symbolism, although the vitality of the major non-human races is greatly damaged, once the scattered non-human beings are gathered, it will still be a terrible force. ”

Konstantin IV said: "So we must completely crush the remaining strength of the other side before they can act." ”

Ralph hesitated, "But what do we do?" If you can't catch them all, the other party will be alert, and it will be difficult to deal with them in the future. ”

Konstantin IV smiled coldly: "It's very simple, if you want to catch mice, cheese is the best bait." ”

Rose hesitated, "You mean, use that thing?" ”

Constantine IV nodded: "The last time they attacked the Vatican, it was for this thing, but we hid one in advance and didn't let them get their wish." A few days ago, another piece was also discovered by us, so we released the news that both of them were in our hands, not afraid that the other party would not be moved. ”

"But the other party obviously has a very important purpose in collecting these things, and if they are in their hands, maybe they will—" Ralph still hesitated.

"Ralph, I've decided." Konstantin IV said lightly.

Fine beads of sweat immediately oozed from Ralph's forehead, and he hurriedly bowed his head: "Yes, I understand." ”

"So, go ahead and get ready. Break off the last paw of the rat and you'll soon be able to catch them all. Konstantin IV said, slowly leaning back in the back of his chair.

The following is a small gift in the accompanying text.

This year's April Fool's Day is boring to write a spoof, everyone should just watch a joke~~

(Hot water)

Zhang Lie asked Jing Yiyao: "Xiao Yao, do you have a man in the Snow Girl Clan?" ”

Jing Yiyao: "Yes." ”

"Where?" Zhang Lie looked around.

"That's them." Jing Yiyao pointed to the group of snow men who were more than 2 meters tall, covered in white hair, and full of fangs.

"He, they?" Zhang Lie was taken aback: "You mean, you Snow Girl will follow them?" ”

Jing Yiyao nodded: "Of course, otherwise how can I have a child?" ”

"But, but there are so many differences in your body size, will you break through..."Zhang Lie wanted to speak and stopped.

Jing Yiyao suddenly said: "Oh, you said this." In fact, just drench them with hot water. ”

As she spoke, she took a thermos and poured hot water on the Snow Man's head.

"That's going to be the way it will be."

A super handsome man with a slender body, a handsome face, and a head full of silky snow-white hair got up from the ground.

"Wow, ahhhhh Zhang Lie covered his eyes frantically.

(Kiss)

"Brother, kiss me so that you will become a true Blood." Jude said.

"No, I can't do that." Blatter shook his head in pain.

"Don't hesitate, for the sake of the dignity of the blood clan, do it!"

"Brother!" Blatter's eyes turned red and he pounced.

Two people, mouth to mouth...

In an instant, the picture was hazy as if it was covered with a cloud of water vapor, and countless white orchids slowly bloomed around it...

In Blatter's arms, Jude's eyes gradually became dazed, and his breathing gradually became thicker.

"No, that's not right!" He slammed Blatter away.

"What are you doing?" Touching the circle of teeth marks around his lips, he asked angrily.

Bright: "Didn't you tell me to kiss you?" So I hugged + kissed..."

Jude: ......., I—I don't know you...

(Bundle)

In a dark, damp cavern, thousands of thumb-thick iron chains are intertwined in the air. The surface of these chains is intricately carved with runes, and although they have been placed in this humid environment for many years, they are still as if they had just been cast.

The intertwined chains filled the entire space like spider webs, but what was really terrifying was that in the middle of this huge web, there were three people hanging impressively!

Their bodies were staggered through by thousands of iron chains, and they were suspended motionless in the air, unable to see their real faces in the dark, and could only vaguely see that they were three unclothed men.

"Ahh Yes... Ahh

"Boss, the third one, he's X tide again." Thorn said enviously: "I didn't expect that after so long, he is still happy." ”

The bearded scum nodded: "It's been four hundred years..."

"At the beginning, the old man of Jian Xian said that he could satisfy our SM's wishes, so we stayed here. It's very comfortable, but... He hasn't untied us for 400 years, could it be that he is playing us? ”

Zhan Meng still looked confused: "I have a hunch, we will be able to go out soon." ”

In the dark cave, there was silence again, and only the three people hanging in the air slowly swayed...

Thousands of miles away in the secluded mountains.

Zhang Lie: What? You hung them for 400 years with a Japanese fancy tie?

Jian Xian: Shh, I was at their request, but I forgot about it in a blink of an eye. You go get those four guys out there.
