Qin Chao left the airport, hailed a taxi, and said to the driver.
"Sir, are you Asian?"
The taxi driver was a black man, very talkative, and spoke fluent American English. If Liu Chang hadn't given Qin Chao an emergency training before leaving, Qin Chao probably wouldn't have been able to understand most of it.
"Yeah." Qin Chao nodded. Since he was here for a mission, he didn't have the time to chat with this black guy.
"Hey, it seems you came to Forbes Church specifically to worship! You must be a devout Catholic!"
The guy was quite talkative and kept talking along the way, "It's a good time for you to go to Forbes Church. If you catch up with the service, you won't be able to get in."
"Why, is Forbes Church famous locally?"
"Well! Although it's just a small church, there are many Catholics who often gather there. These pious guys, tut tut."
When the black man smiled, the teeth in his mouth were extremely white.
Qin Chao also smiled along with him, then leaned on the backrest and stopped talking.
In his mind, he was thinking about what Liu Chang told him.
The first thing to do in this "Christmas Snow Plan" is to go to the Forbes Church, the branch of the Church of Rome in the United States, to find the local Templar Cross Knights or priests for help.
Because the organization has been operating here for many years, it has not found where the legendary Dark Holy See and the Skeleton are.
The Pope once said that the Dark Holy See is very cunning. Their churches are hidden behind the Catholic Church. Therefore, if you want to find them, you must rely on true Catholics.
Therefore, Liu Chang gave Qin Chao this address.
Only those who find the Roman Church first can find the Dark Holy See.
"Sir, we're here."
I guess this black taxi driver was quite honest. He didn't take Qin Chao around Los Angeles and arrived at his destination in a short time.
Qin Chao looked outside the car and saw a small church that was not very big but very solemn. He nodded, took out the US dollars Liu Chang gave him, and handed it to the driver.
“The rest is tip.”
"Thank you, sir!"
The black driver was very happy and handed Qin Chao a business card, "Sir, this is my business card. If you need a car, you can call me. In this generation, it is difficult to find a car."
After saying that, he drove away happily.
Qin Chao glanced at the business card, which had the black driver's name printed on it, called Scala. He picked up the business card and walked toward the church.
The church is small, and there are not many people at this time when the sunset is shining with golden afterglow.
Qin Chao pushed the door open and walked in. There were empty seats inside, not even the priest was seen.
He couldn't help but feel a little strange. In a place like this, would there really be Templar Cross Knights of the Roman Church? However, the guess was just a guess. Since Liu Chang had given an explanation, he still believed in the female agents in this organization.
Therefore, Qin Chao found a front-row seat and did it.
In my ears, I could faintly hear the singing of a choir.
The sound was very beautiful and moving, as if even the soul had been sublimated. Qin Chao leaned here, and unknowingly, listening to this music again, he felt very sleepy.
"Sir, this is not the time for mass."
At some point, a priest wearing a black robe stood in front of Qin Chao and spoke to him gently.
"ah?"
Qin Chao was in a daze just now and really fell asleep. Suddenly he heard someone talking and was startled. He raised his head and looked at the old priest in front of him.
Have you really been a little tired recently? Why do you always feel so insensitive?
"I'm not here for mass." Qin Chao rubbed his eyes and shook his head.
"Oh?" The old priest looked at Qin Chao carefully, "Are you here to open your soul to our Lord and tell your sins?"
"Tell me about my sins?" Qin Chao raised his eyebrows, "I have too many sins. I'm afraid I can't fit them in this church."
"If you don't tell me, how can you know?" The priest thrust the Bible into Qin Chao's hand, "Our Lord's mind is infinitely broad, and he can accommodate countless confused souls like you."
"Okay, then I will tell you my sins."
Qin Chao touched his nose and then said.
"First of all, I'm very carefree."
"Every man has trouble, kid, and it's not your fault alone."
"But I have more than ten women, and I have slept with five or six of them."
"...Children, if you love them, you must be responsible for them."
"I want to be responsible for each of them."
"But your energy is limited. Find the one you love most, child. These are not such big sins. Our Lord will accept you."
"No, I'm not just lazy." Qin Chao sighed and said, "I've also killed people."
The priest's body trembled, and then he asked cautiously.
"Child, everyone will inadvertently commit some unforgivable sins. But if you pray sincerely, I think our Lord will help you wash away your sins. By the way, are you a policeman? A soldier? Or
doctor?"
"neither."
"The one or two souls you took away may be in heaven or hell now. No matter where they are, child, please pray for them, and please pray for yourself. Because our Lord will watch you."
"Not one or two." Qin Chao sighed again, "I have one or two thousand..."
Qin Chao shivered when he saw the priest's calf.
"My child, you are right...this small church cannot tolerate your sins...it seems that there is only one place suitable for you."
"where?"
"prison……"
"Hey, Father, does that mean the Lord has abandoned me?" Qin Chao touched his nose and smiled.
"You have forsaken my lord."
"You are right, I am indeed not a Catholic."
Qin Chao admitted that he was not a religious person.
"My child, why are you here?"
"I'm here to seek help from the Roman Church." Qin Chao said straight to the point, "I want to find the Dark Holy See."
"My Lord bless you." The priest made the sign of the cross in front of him, "Child, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Father, let's not hide anything." Qin Chao stood up and said, "I am from the Mainland Organization. The Dark Holy See has captured an agent of our organization. I must rescue her. The Lord is not responsible for saving the world.
Well, so I asked him to help me."
The priest looked at him twice, and then said, "The Dark Holy See is a dirty, but terrifying place. For so many years, our Roman Church has been at war with them, but has never been able to completely crush them. They are also on the surface.
Promoting doctrines that benefit the world, but doing disgusting things behind the scenes."
"Disgusting thing?"
"Child, do you know about skeletons?" The priest suddenly asked a question.
"Of course I know that there are more than one werewolf and vampire who died in my hands."
After hearing this, the priest was silent for a moment.
"Okay, kid, please come with me."
The priest said, taking back his Bible from Qin Chao's arms.
"Maybe I shouldn't help you, but I don't know how to refuse you." The priest led Qin Chao to a small door next to him, "My name is Malog, and everyone calls me Malog.
Fr.”
"Okay, Father Malog, my name is Qin Chao. By the way, can I ask you a question?"
Qin Chao followed, looking at the old priest who was walking a little staggeringly and with silver threads in his hair, and asked.
"Of course, my boy."
"Are you a Templar Cross?"
Father Malog looked back at Qin Chao and smiled.
"Son, I'm just an ordinary old man."
After saying that, he led Qin Chao to a small room.
This room should be a penance room, with a cross in the center and a soft cushion on the floor.
The old priest made the sign of the cross on his chest, and then held the cross in the middle of the house.
"Kid, don't be too surprised."
As he spoke, he dragged the cross a few times according to a certain trajectory.
Then, the sound of gears came from the room.
With a click, the wall in front of them slowly opened.
A beautiful oil painting of a cathedral, almost as big as the entire wall, appeared in front of Qin Chao.
"What a beautiful oil painting..."
Qin Chao looked at the oil painting. The church on it was so lifelike that he was very amazed.
"Of course, it is a priceless treasure."
The old priest smiled and said, "What is painted on this is the Vatican Cathedral. My child, come here and hold my hand."
As the old priest spoke, he stretched out his skinny palm towards Qin Chao.
Qin Chao hesitated for a moment, then handed over his hand and grabbed the old priest.
"My Lord bless..."
The old priest muttered something and suddenly took steps towards the painting.
Suddenly, Qin Chao felt a force blessing him, and then pulled him to move quickly. The two people suddenly disappeared into the scroll.
There was a dizzy feeling of flying. When this feeling disappeared, Qin Chao's eyes lit up and he fell from the air.
There is an altitude of more than 100 meters below! Qin Chao was suddenly startled, his body steadied, and he plunged down like a missile, and then landed steadily on the ground.
And in the sky, the old priest also fell down and exclaimed.
"Lord, what's going on! Help, help..."
"Father Marlog!"
Qin Chao immediately rushed over and took the old priest's body into his arms as soon as his arms sank.
The old man's body was quite clear. Even if it accelerated, it would weigh almost nothing when it fell into Qin Chao's hands.
"I was scared to death..." The old priest patted his chest, shocked, "Fortunately, I have you, my child."
"Father...where are we?"
Qin Chao put the old priest down and looked around at the sunny surroundings.
In front of him was a majestic cathedral with magnificent momentum. The music of the choir floated out from the church and reached Qin Chao's ears.
"You know, kid."
The old priest smiled at Qin Chao, "This is St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the holy place of our Roman Church."
Damn it! Qin Chao was suddenly shocked. Teleport! It was also an instant teleport! But it seemed that it was different from his Nine Nether Poison Spider's teleport.
The Nine Nether Poisonous Spider leaves behind a formation formed by vitality and spider webs in the place where it appeared.
But the feeling of the picture scroll he just walked into was obviously different.
Seeing Qin Chao's shocked expression, the old priest smiled again.
"Child, if you have really come into contact with werewolves and vampires, you should know what black magic is."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican opposite.
"But black magic is just a branch of magic. The paradise of real magic is right here."
He faced the Vatican Cathedral with a pious look on his face, "It's in the Vatican."
