Chapter 21: Superiority in IQ
Blonde nun, early 20s.
As soon as he saw her, Sheriff Webb, who had been trembling these days, chuckled directly in his heart.
It feels like a stranger to the future.
It's pretty easy to explain this fear.
In the matter of studying and controlling occult phenomena, the Holy See and the Council are opposed.
One represents theocracy and one represents the world.
Neither side is something that Sheriff Webb can offend.
Especially the nun in front of her, there was obvious anger in her eyes...... The sheriff was very worried.
Yu Lian glanced at her.
looks pretty good, with long chests and thighs, very sharp eyes, and eyebrows revealing a sense of arrogance and coldness.
β¦β¦ It felt like she was coming with malice.
Judging this, Yu Lian shrank behind Rosaria's back.
The little princess was still expressionless, her fingertips tapping lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair, as if she didn't know that someone had come in.
The nun looked at her with a hint of hostility.
But the little princess just ignores you.
- Angry with you!
"Kay, Miss Karina, you ......"
As a high-ranking police officer, Sergeant Webb was humbled at this time.
"You're finally here, sit, please sit ......down," the sheriff bowed slightly, and tried his best to show a flattering smile.
But because he is usually an upright and self-loving person, his cheeks twitched unnaturally when he tried his best to please him at this time.
Karina moved her gaze and looked at him: "The seal was stolen, why didn't you notify the Holy See as soon as possible!" β
Sergeant Webb's reluctant smile suddenly froze, and his expression was almost about to cry: "Miss Karina, I can swear to God." Of course, I would like to contact you as soon as possible, but I am a public official, and according to the procedure, I need to contact the committee first......"
"Do you think that the process of government is more important than the sanctity of the Holy See?" Sister Karina asked with a gloomy face.
Fuck you, the government pays me a salary, and your Holy See won't pay me...... Sergeant Webb was furious in his heart, but his expression did not dare to be unusual, and he struggled to squeeze out a flattering smile on his face:
"The Holy See is sacred, inviolableβ"
This statement is actually true.
It's just before 1688.
Since ancient times, the royal power and divine power in Europe have almost always been bound and symbiotic.
But in 1688, the English bourgeoisie and the new aristocracy united to launch the "Glorious Revolution" that overthrew the monarchy and resisted religion. In 1689, the Supreme Council passed the Bill of Rights, which established the political system of a constitutional monarchy.
Since then, the kingship has fallen and the theocracy has declined.
In the past, everyone was a Christian.
Now, the old ones are more religious, and the younger ones are less and less believed.
The Protestant leadership was also aware of the serious problem of extinction, so in the field of "occultism", which could most expand its influence, it has always competed openly and secretly with the "committees" formed by the new aristocracy and capital.
For these two parties, Yu Lian has no good feelings.
After all, although their camps are different, they have one thing in common: they don't treat ordinary people as human beings.
"I'll leave you alone for the time being!" Karina snorted coldly and announced from above: "From now on, this case will be taken over by the Holy See, and you will be responsible for assisting me!" Do you understand? β
"Huh?"
Sergeant Webb was sweating profusely.
β¦β¦ Cold sweat.
"Kay, Miss Karina, but, but, ......," Sergeant Webb mustered up his courage to say, "at least act with the committee," but suddenly he noticed that Rosalia was nodding at him, and he quickly swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.
It doesn't matter what you two are going to do, as long as you don't let me get caught in the middle and get angry...... This is the simple wish of the sheriff's heart.
Karina learned the general facts of the case with him, and then, her eyes fell on Yu Lian.
There was naturally a kind of contempt in her eyes for the superior to the inferior.
Very reasonable contempt!
In her worldview, it's a bird's-eye view.
It's not about money or character.
Rather, it is the occultist's superiority over ordinary people, higher beings over lower beings.
Isn't it just a handsome Muggle!
"Yu Lian, right?" Karina clasped her arms to her chest and locked her eyes on him, "From now on, you are my thing." β
Yu Lian's first reaction was to look down at the little princess: "Your Highness, can you bear it if she blatantly ignores your ownership of me and plunders me in front of you?" β
"My ownership of you?" Rosaria's eyes were very meaningful.
"I'm your suspect, naturally your person."
"You're not my suspect anymore."
"No, I am!"
"It's better to die than to be free, that's what you said." Rosalia raised her eyebrows quite nicely, and the corners of her mouth leaked a slight smile, "Mr. Yu Lian, what do you mean, do you want me to kill you first?" β
The smile on Yu Lian's face disappeared.
I knew that this woman wasn't a good person either!
"Okay, I'll save for later." Karina scolded Yu Lian coldly, turned to face the door, "Sergeant Webb, please detain him and Eric. No one is allowed to meet me but me! β
"Yes......"
Sergeant Webb did not dare to have any objections.
Julien and Eric, who was unconscious, were escorted out of the interrogation room.
In this game, the committee chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and the Holy See won a big victory, and the two weak students could only be slaughtered.
"Ha~"
Rosaria rubbed her face and couldn't help but yawn.
I haven't slept until last night, and now that I'm quiet, the little princess feels so sleepy.
"Captain......" Gerard asked in a loud voice, "why throw people to the Holy See?" Doesn't that make us afraid of them......"
With her elbows on her elbows and her jaw propped up on the back of her hand, Rosaria said tiredly, "The cases involving seals are almost always the most difficult cases, and God knows what unexpected episodes will happen in the middle. If I am the only one who handles it, if there is a mistake, I will not be the only one to take the blame? β
"You have a point......
"Besides, the legendary-level seal has already touched the bottom line of the Holy See. If I don't retreat, the Holy See will 100% come to the top and put pressure on me. Instead of waiting for the order, I might as well just give it to her. A self-proclaimed clever nun, oh, couldn't be better than a disgrace to the Holy See. β
ββ¦β¦β
Gerald's eyes twitched.
"What if she solves the case?" He asked his boss curiously.
"Huh, just her brain?" Rosaria sneered, her tone as dark as a villain, "It's not that I look down on her, but if she can come up with a second method other than using two students as bait, I can give her a little respect." β
ββ¦β¦β
Gerard thought to himself that his own captain was the one with the greatest sense of superiority.
This is called "intellectual superiority".
But if you really use those two students as bait......
"Captain, this is not good!" Gerald's face was stunned, "They are just ordinary people, if there is a fight, even if they are just affected, they may die......"
"When has the Holy See ever cared about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?" Rosalia scoffed.
Looking at her subordinates who wanted to stop talking, she put the back of her hand against her chin, and her expression seemed to be smiling: "When the Holy See acts, I will secretly make some trouble for them, and then appear as a savior after they are defeated." It must have been a great scene! β
"Oh, heh, hehe......" Gerald had a chill down his spine and laughed dryly, "It's good that I'm your subordinate, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be killed by you." By the way, what should I do? β
Rosalia yawned slightly, and waved her hand lightly: "Go to India to shovel cow dung or go to Australia to mine, you choose one yourself." β
Gan!
Gerald wanted to slap himself.
Why do you have to ask this sentence more, isn't it good to let her forget it slowly!
"Team, Captain......"
Gerald smiled cautiously, his expression more flattering and flattering: "Whether it is shoveling cow dung or mining, I have no complaints. But the thought of never seeing you again after leaving England breaks my heart......"
"Really?"
Rosalia looked at him.
Although the little princess was asking, her eyes were full of mocking smiles.
"Really!" Gerald patted his chest and said, "Just let me stay in England and let me do anything!" β
"Okay then." The little princess said kindly, "The safety of the two little baits will be left to you." β
ββ¦β¦β
Gerard suddenly felt that his life was bleak.
β¦β¦ This boss is really terrible!
