In fact, from Hua Mingshu's perspective, his plan was executed very successfully.
Because after he became anonymous, the church did not send any pursuers to hunt him down or wanted him, and they did not even take back his angel halo. They just locked his permission to log in to the angel system, and then seemed to have forgotten him.
.
Before today, Russell thought it was because the old pigeon was too small.
After all, he is just a "healer", the lowest subordinate angel. Perhaps the church has a casual attitude of "just throw it away" and is too lazy to pursue this matter - but, from this
Looking at it from an extended perspective, there should be many such defecting angels in other places.
But now looking back and thinking about it... maybe Hua Mingshu is the special one. After all, Russell has been exposed to so many empty islands and so many secrets, but he has indeed never seen the second defecting angel. Hua Mingshu
He has never come into contact with his own kind.
And the fact that Paradise Bird was so easily accepted by the church and granted the title of bishop on the first day was really just because she had awakened the ability of a "saint" and was able to use the power of the angelic holy order without relying on a halo.
?The church that sells "angel products" to mages and elves, will it become so pious and humble towards saints?
There are only seven angels in total on Happy Island, and two of them are always with Paradise Bird... and they happen to be the one with the strongest fighting ability, and the one with the strongest protective ability.
That's more like protection than surveillance. If it were surveillance, there would be no reason for them to trade Paradise Bird to the Special Enforcement Department and let her run around. The church has many positions that can be arranged for her, and she can be easily kept in captivity.
Under house arrest.
When Russell thought of this, he probably understood.
The reason why the church did not pursue Hua Mingshu was not because Hua Mingshu's anonymity was really useful... but because someone took care of everything for him and paid the corresponding price for him.
That person is probably the Bishop.
He directly told Russell Hua Mingshu's name, not his code name. A hundred years have passed since Hua Mingshu left the Cyber Church. He could still blurt out the other person's name clearly;
On an empty island, the Bishop knew that it was Russell who saved the Bird of Paradise...
If the name of Paradise Bird hadn't spread throughout the seven islands... it could only mean that he was always secretly following Hua Mingshu and his descendants.
So Russell also became curious - who is the Bishop?
At this moment, Delphinium quietly touched Russell's arm and asked Russell to take a closer look at the message she sent.
"——How should I address the Bishop? Just call him the Bishop directly. Wouldn't it be too alienating?"
"…I have no idea."
Russell hesitated for a moment and gave the designated high-quality answer.
Looking at Delphinium's angry cheeks, Russell stretched out his hand to deflate it and shook his head helplessly.
"I really don't know."
He covered his mouth with his hand and whispered in Delphinium's ear: "People call him Bishop, and my mother calls him the same... Everyone respects him, and no one knows what the Bishop is called. Bishop can come."
"Speaking of statistics, he is a big shot on the same level as our godfather, Dr. Zanbai."...
Russell didn't even know what level of bishop "Lord Bishop" was. Rather, for the Lord Bishop, the title "Lord Bishop" itself had become the same code name as "Godfather", and people called him a code name.
"—Are you discussing my name?"
At this moment, the old man suddenly stopped and looked back slightly.
Russell and Delphinium were immediately frightened. Although one of them was a ninth-level psyker, the other was on the edge of the ninth level, and they were both minister-level figures in the head office... But they were still able to do it even after being glanced at by the old man. I felt a sense of majesty and terror, as if a primary school student had been glared at by his class teacher.
"...Yes, I am indeed a little curious."
Russell stretched out his hand and pushed the delphinium back, signaling for her to stay away.
say.
After all, his identity and knowledge are different now, so Russell boldly asked: "Can I know...your name and identity?" "It's okay."
The old man stepped forward again and said calmly: "There is nothing shameful about this kind of thing. There is no need to discuss it secretly in the dark. If you ask, I will answer."
He paused slightly and continued to answer: "If you ask about my position, someone has called me 'general' before; if you ask me about my relationship with Hua Mingshu, he has called me commander and mentor before.
"Although he and I are both spiritual relatives of the Dove family, we actually have no blood relationship. Just because we have the same spiritual relatives, we usually take a little care of him. If you ask me, I used to use If what the code name is... then you may be disappointed.
"That's a very simple name. There's nothing eye-catching about it, and it's not gorgeous or individual enough. They call me 'White Feather.'"
The old man said calmly: "Of course, Wendy and I are not related by blood. When I gave him the codename 'Bishop', I actually wanted to retire. But now it seems that he still wants me to do some more time. "
"General..."
Russell chewed the unfamiliar word slowly.
He realized that he might even have underestimated the Bishop's age. He was far more than one hundred and twenty years old...perhaps he was already an old man a hundred years ago.
Russell suddenly realized something: "You are not an angel?"
"I am human."
The old man replied flatly: "Purely human."
However, this answer seemed a bit ambiguous to Russell. He did not give a clear answer as to whether he was a former angel...or perhaps he and the church did not intend to treat angels as purely human beings.
Russell still wanted to ask more questions, but their destination had already been reached.
Not all churches take care of cemeteries. On Sogo Island, taking care of the cemetery is a very sacred job. Of course, it will not be built on the ground... but is as gorgeous as other buildings on Sogo Island.
Delphinium suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Surrounded by hymns, she finally saw what the "cemetery" of Sogo Island looked like.
In the center of the room is a jade sculpture of a female angel without a face.
She opened her arms widely, opening her arms like a mother. Behind her were three pairs of white wings that looked very soft - but the wings and her body were all carved from pure white jade...
She is also surrounded by three golden rings that rotate at different angles and speeds. Under the extremely bright light above her head, it will flash a bright light from time to time at a very coincidental angle.
The environment filled with rich woody incense is reminiscent of an ancient library.
Except for the direction of the door, there are seven different directions. Each direction has a large number of "bookshelfs", and each bookshelf is full of jars of different sizes, styles, and levels of splendor. The outside of all the jars
They are all covered with a glass cover, and a dynamic photo album appears on the jar, which contains constantly changing color photos.
"Looking for 'Alice,'"
The Lord Bishop spoke in front of the stone statue of the angel.
The angel stone statue emits a sacred sonorous sound of several different female voices overlapping together: "A total of 12 results found."
"The one who died last year."
"Positioned: Wing No. 3, Side A, Row 2, No. 1."
As the choir of angels sounded, the delphinium squinted its eyes and keenly saw a place not far away shining with light.
They didn't go very far.
The third "bookshelf", on the far left of the second row from top to bottom, is Alice's position.
Her "dynamic photo" was shining with light to guide the direction. When Russell came over, it scanned Russell's face and automatically opened the glass cover. The light also stopped.
"I need to leave temporarily
Want to have a meeting?"
The old man asked with concern.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Russell did not say a few words of false modesty, but simply responded.
"If you don't know how to get out, just ask the guiding angel."
The Lord Bishop nodded and said calmly: "There are still things to do later - I will wait for you outside the door."
