Chapter 202 Hot Negotiations(1/2)
"Just suspicion?"
"Yes."
"I will report the details."
"Well, okay, Captain."
Karen turned around and returned to his suite.
On the bed, Fanny and Bijun were still sleeping soundly. Bijun kicked the quilt under the bed. She liked to sleep on her stomach, while Fanny was wearing silk pajamas, which were better when worn than not.
They must have heard the previous ringtone, but because it was Karen who was keeping vigil, so as long as Karen didn't wake them up, they would fall asleep again immediately. This was a sign of trust in their teammates.
Of course, their current sleeping position is a sign of deeper trust.
Karen stood beside the bed, frowning slightly.
Now looking back at the scene after I pushed the dining cart in, I can see the deliberateness in many details.
He was the one who wanted to drink with him when he got interested, but he only took a sip of the wine, as if he was deliberately performing it for himself so that he could prove for him that he drank;
After drinking, he immediately lost interest in chatting and said he was "tired".
However, this suspicion is actually useless.
You can understand that he is deliberately disguising himself in order to gain the trust of the upper echelons of the Cult of Kosmos.
You can also understand that he knew that his superiors still had some doubts about him, so he deliberately used this method to prove his innocence.
The only one who can really know the truth is probably the space worm.
Karen gently twisted his neck. He suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not have a particularly strong sense of belonging to the Cult of Kosmos. Therefore, he just did his job well and let the senior management have a headache to weigh things.
Give them a headache.
Complete the task with peace of mind and get the points, this is the right way.
After bending down, picking up the quilt and covering Bi Ciao and Fanny again, Karen sat back on the sofa, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case that Fanny had placed on the coffee table, and turned it around in his hand.
Unknowingly, Karen shook out most of the tobacco from the cigarette, and at this time, the morning light of dawn shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Karen picked up the microphone next to him. There was no sound in the microphone, which meant that he could not make a call. But soon, Karen heard the sound of picking up the microphone:
"Hello, hotel front desk, sir, what do you need?"
"breakfast."
"Is it for three people?"
"Yes."
"Sir, do you have any special needs?"
"Bring up some more cigarettes."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. It will be sent to you soon."
Bi Cuo taught me how to bring cigarettes. They will bring clothes, but they will never bring extra cigarettes. Anyway, the expenses incurred during the mission can be reimbursed by the church, so if they are short of cigarettes, they can ask the front desk of the Ankara Hotel to bring them up. These expenses
It is included in the room fee, and the team does not need to settle the room fee themselves.
The cigarettes provided by Ankara Hotel contain some special ingredients and cannot be bought outside. You can buy them in the store in the Academic Affairs Building, but you must use a coupon.
It’s just that in order to look good when eating, we can’t buy boxes of them, we can only take them one by one.
Not long after, Marlowe's voice came from the blue shell in Karen's ear:
"breakfast."
Karen walked out of the room and came to the elevator. After the elevator door opened, Karen saw his little cousin again.
A whole day passed. Except for a brief trip to the bathroom, Richard was mostly in the elevator. In this elevator, no one would come in except those who wanted to enter this floor.
This also meant that he was almost in a state of meditating alone in a closed space throughout the whole day.
But he didn't complain at all. Every time the elevator door opened, he looked in high spirits. This was not an act, because Karen couldn't see the slightest dissatisfaction in Richard's microexpression.
Thinking about it from his perspective, Karen felt that if he had the same family background and the team assigned him to this position in the first mission, he would definitely feel unbalanced.
Therefore, my little cousin's ideological consciousness is higher than mine.
Richard pushed the dining cart containing breakfast out, then turned around and returned to the elevator.
Karen picked up a plate and used tongs to put some bread and sausages into it. The breakfast for three people was not divided into three portions. In fact, it could feed six or seven adults.
After placing the plate full of food, Karen walked over and pressed the elevator button. The elevator did not go down and was still on the original floor. After the elevator door opened again, Karen walked in with a large glass of orange juice on the plate.
Immediately, the elevator door closed.
Richard looked at Karen with some confusion, and Karen asked: "Didn't you have breakfast?"
"No."
Karen handed him a fork and sat down. Seeing that Richard was still standing, Karen waved and said, "Sit down, let's have breakfast first."
"Oh, okay."
Richard sat down obediently and began to eat.
Karen picked up the large glass of orange juice and took a sip, then handed it to Richard, who also picked it up and took a sip.
"Is it boring?" Karen asked.
Richard shook his head and said: "This is my position and responsibility."
"Well, do your job well. The captain and others will definitely notice your attitude. You will be assigned to a better position next time there is a mission."
"But I think guarding the elevator is a very important position, because there are formations outside the hotel. Inside the hotel, there are also formations and restrictions between each floor and between each room.
Barriers, including in this elevator, also have formations.
Therefore, anyone who can enter this floor must pass through me. This place is very important."
"Yes." Karen nodded.
Richard took a bite of the sausage and continued: "When Bishop Bourne went down, he seemed to be thinking about something, and he was a little hesitant."
"Oh?" Karen was a little surprised. This little cousin was actively observing everyone. The most important thing was that he was willing to share it with him.
This means that he has always felt close to himself and completely regarded himself as his true own.
"Bishop Bourne, my grandfather once mentioned him, saying that although he is a relatively low-ranking first-level bishop in the York City Region, his real influence is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The first-level bishops in the York City Region are very
Maybe it's just a simple identity he needs right now."
There are also hierarchies between bishops and bishops, rising from 1 to 9, but in a normal sense, this is only linked to treatment.
In fact, there is a common problem in the internal structure of the Church of Kosmos or most churches, that is, there is no way to truly rank these four aspects: position, realm, authority and responsibility, and influence.
From servants of God, divine revelations, priests, to judges, adjudicators, judges, then to regional bishops, and then to higher-level regional bishops, for example, the York City region is equivalent to the country of Rui Lan.
The level of the regional and Venn regions is higher than that of the Ruilan region. The difference here is a bit like the civil service system in the city and the civil service system in the state.
The reason for confusion is that most of the realms and official titles of the Cult of Kosmos overlap. The same title can represent both the position and the realm.
In an extreme case, if the contribution is large enough or the status is high enough, even a servant of God can serve as a judge or even a higher-level position, because even the most hard-fisted Church of Kosmos is really responsible for fighting in this church.
People are not the majority.
For example, his grandfather Dis has always been a judge, but even Rasma would feel scared when he came to the city where his grandfather was.
To give another example, Richard is a divine priest, but his certificate says he is a divine servant. He has reached the realm of the judge, but he still has a divine servant certificate.
Only when we reach the level of the above-mentioned judges, the realm and position will be decoupled and different expressions will be adopted.
The reason for this chaotic system is that...the development and growth of religions are inherently uneven. It is not like ink dripping into clear water and the color gradually changing after stirring. It is a long-term process between various religious forces.
The constant tug-of-war has resulted in a relatively stable dynamic.
When he first learned about this, Karen compared this phenomenon in his mind to the warlord period. The commander-in-chief of this family and the commander-in-chief of that family could pull up a group of bandits and hold the rank of colonel or major general, calling themselves brigade commander or division commander;
Position, military rank, territory, power, and combat effectiveness are almost a mess.
But no matter what, the first-level bishop of the York City Region is already considered a very high position. If this position is only for temporary use, then how high is the true status of Bishop Burn?
After all, he was the one who allowed his son to go to Pamires to teach undercover and eventually become the Son of God. He must have helped in this.
"I think Bishop Bourne may have some doubts in his heart," Richard said, "and this doubt is much heavier than when he got on the elevator."
After seeing your own son, do you feel more worried?
Karen believed Richard's observation, because no matter how good an actor is, it is impossible for him to act all day long, and Richard's position is so ordinary that he can be ignored directly. People who get on and off the elevator probably don't bother to tense up in front of him.
"Also, there is the captain."
"team leader?"
"The captain came up in the elevator early."
"Well, I know this."
It seems that the captain has been hiding in this layer waiting for the medicine to take effect.
"When the captain went down, I could feel that the captain seemed to be smiling."
To be continued...
