The battle of life and death, to be precise, is a war between the living and the dead, not a war between certain regions.
We signed the Vatican Convention decades ago and formed an offensive and defensive alliance. The invasion of the dead is a provocation to living people all over the world, and it is also a problem faced by living people all over the world.
Although the battle of life and death has not yet been made public to the world, it has been circulated in the Vatican Convention. Logically speaking, the major member states should send exorcism experts to assist domestic exorcists to join forces to fight against the enemy, reduce losses, and remove corpses.
The ancestor's ambition was nipped in the bud.
What is surprising is that after the Special Cases Division issued an international exorcism order, no organization responded.
And everyone’s excuses are the same: The Vatican Convention has not had a rule-setter for three years. The battle of life and death is a major event. We must elect a rule-setter as soon as possible and lead all member states to fight against the dead.
Three years ago, His Majesty the Pope in the Vatican was still the rule-maker and the leader of member states around the world. However, after the Third Vatican Council was held, Zhang Wuren, He Zhonghua, and Yu Buren personally revealed the true face of His Majesty the Pope.
It turns out that this guy's true identity is the ancestor of the overseas soul collector Sizhong Heng. He failed to compete with Emperor Shun Yao Chonghua for the throne and went overseas.
This guy didn't know what means he used to pretend to be His Majesty the Pope, but no one noticed him for three years!
That battle caused the Holy See to lose all face and even its right to make the rules. The most powerful ghost in the world, "A", and hundreds of vicious people disrupted the venue. As a result, even the latest rule maker was disrupted at that conference.
None of them have been selected. (For details, please see the previous part: Town of 1,000 Corpses)
Since then, the Vatican Convention has existed in name only. Everyone plays their own game and no one really abides by the rules. But now, when the invasion of the dead happened, everyone said in unison that the most urgent thing is to first choose and formulate the rules.
Whoever comes.
Then the rule makers will lead everyone to fight against the dead and suppress the ancestor of the corpse.
After getting this, some senior officials of the Special Cases Division almost exploded with anger.
Who doesn’t know what these bastards are thinking? The Third Vatican Council failed three years ago. Logically speaking, the Fourth Vatican Council should be convened as soon as possible to elect a new rule-maker.
But at that time, the domestic Special Case Division was the only one with unprecedented strength. Not only did Deputy Commander Di Ming nominally lead the nation's exorcists, but he was also supported by experts such as Xu Jianqin, Dr. Yu, Guan Kai, and Bu Ku.
In addition, more than half of the Seven Elders in the World are in China. The Shandong Tie Family, the Northeast Cultivation Immortal, the Yin Yang Shop, the Gu Master Alliance and other factions are firmly on the side of the Special Case Division.
If chosen, the Special Case Division will definitely become the new rule maker! No matter who holds the power is Deputy Commander Di Ming or Xu Jianqin!
As a result, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the Fourth Vatican Convention. It happened that Deputy Commander Di Ming and others were trapped in the Ten Thousand Demons Pit at that time and had no time to care, so they acquiesced in the matter.
Now, luckily, a domestic life-and-death war has broken out, and the two sides are fighting in full swing. These bastards actually want to take the opportunity to convene the Fourth Vatican Council to elect a new rule-maker!
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Special Cases Division is now entangled with dead people, and it will definitely not be able to send elites to attend the Vatican Conference at this time.
In other words, all the member states of the Vatican Convention are trying their best to compete for the position of rule-maker. Especially the Holy See and the North American Paranormal Research and Defense Agency.
Anyway, the strongest Special Case Division has been restrained by the dead. Let's get the things at hand done first. After the rule makers are selected, no matter how strong the Special Case Division is, they must abide by the rules promulgated by the rule makers.
Some rules.
After listening to what Zhang Wuren said, I stayed silent. Zhang Wuren said with a smile: "Don't worry too much. The Special Cases Division doesn't care about the position of rule maker at all. Otherwise, in the past three years, it would have pushed the rule
Four Vatican Councils.”
"No matter who makes the rules for this group of people, as long as they don't hinder the war between the living and the dead. If it doesn't work anymore, the Special Cases Division will withdraw from this so-called Vatican Agreement, and we can play our own game behind closed doors."
I nodded slightly. It is indeed a bit unethical for foreign exorcists to do this now. But then again, what Zhang Wuren said is right. The top priority is the battle of life and death. No matter who is the rule maker, as long as they don't do bad things,
Everyone can tolerate it forever.
Perhaps seeing that I was depressed, Zhang Wuren smiled and said: "Fourth brother, what are your plans now? Doctor Liao said that although your injury has healed on the surface, your brain has still not returned to its peak. You should be lost now.
It’s a lot of memories.”
I nodded slightly. In fact, I knew this situation a long time ago, because since I woke up, I have forgotten many things.
Most of these things are the inheritance of the Son of Heaven obtained from the coffin in the Mountain of Good and Evil.
For example, I slept in a coffin in the Mountain of Good and Evil, and I clearly memorized all the knowledge about the Son of Heaven, so I was able to compete with the dead in a fight, and I was able to fight in vain.
Ying Wuming ran away in embarrassment. Even the fierce snake girl was trembling after seeing me and didn't dare to move.
But after waking up, those memories seem to be lost, just like you memorized many texts when you were in elementary school, but after you graduate for a long, long time, you look back on those memorized texts, but you still can't remember them.
Maybe I will never remember it in the future.
I was silent for a long time and said, "Old Zhang, I want to go to the front line."
The front line is naturally the place where the conflict between the living and the dead is most serious. There, there are exorcism teams patrolling out every night to detect the progress of the dead and protect people's property.
That is also the most dangerous place nowadays. Almost every day, people, living or dead, lose their lives forever.
Zhang Wuren was stunned for a moment, then flatly refused: "No! Once the Corpse Ancestor finds out that you are not dead, he will continue to take action against you! Now Dr. Yu from the First Research Institute is looking for a way to deal with the Corpse Ancestor. In this method
You can’t appear in public until the research is done!”
I shook my head slightly: "Lao Zhang, I am a born son."
"I lost a lot of knowledge about Tianzi, but I didn't lose a lot of memories about Tianzi. I remember that Tianzi was born in Tiantian's tomb, but he rose between life and death. I have seen many of his inheritances, and every time
Every kind of exorcism method, every yin and yang method, actually grew up in the war."
"If I go to the front line, it may be able to stimulate my newly growing brain and maybe restore my memory. And I will be very cautious and I will never expose myself."
Zhang Wuren still shook his head firmly: "No. I would rather you follow Deputy Director Huang and attend the Fourth Vatican Council!"
I know that the Deputy Director Huang he mentioned is the civilian employee in charge of logistics work in the Special Cases Division. Generally speaking, the Special Cases Division has two deputy directors, one in charge of logistics and one in charge of finance.
They do not participate in battles on weekdays, and they will not become exorcists on the front line like Deputy Commander Di Ming.
But they are still indispensable in the Special Case Division.
Nowadays, the front line is tight, and even Zhang Wuren cannot stay here for a long time, so it is impossible to send real elites to participate in the Fourth Vatican Council.
So this task fell on Deputy Director Huang.
At that time, Deputy Director Huang will take a group of logistics staff to go through the ceremony, which can be regarded as the Special Case Division participating in this meeting.
I shook my head. There was no future in following Deputy Director Huang. There were no capable people behind me. Even if I went to attend the Vatican Council, I would be the target of ridicule.
Besides, if nothing happens over there, how can I find a way to recover the knowledge I lost and still have the ability?
Seeing my resolute face and firm eyes, Zhang Wuren said with a serious look: "The front line is very dangerous. There are six major areas in the Ten Thousand Demons Pit. Each area has its own unique dead and evil spirits. Even He Zhonghua and I, Yu Buren are not the same."
I dare say it's foolproof. If you encounter it, I'm afraid it will really be in danger."
I said softly: "Old Zhang, do you still remember the four things that a born child must do?"
Zhang Wuren was horrified, and then replied in a low voice: "The living have no evil thoughts, the dead have no resentment, yin and yang coexist, and the sun and the moon have no light?"
I nodded slightly: "Tianzi's lifelong wish is to quell the war. The prerequisite for quelling the war is to do these four things. The living have no evil thoughts, the dead have no resentment, yin and yang coexist, and the sun and the moon have no light."
"Old Zhang, how amazing was Emperor Shun back then and how high-spirited the Son of Heaven was back then? But even they couldn't stop this war. In the end, the great Yu Dynasty was wiped out, leaving not a single word behind."
"So, this road is simply impossible to complete. But since I am a born child, I still want to give it a try."
"The living have no evil thoughts, and the dead have no resentment. If we don't even dare to enter the battlefield between the living and the dead, how can these two things be perfectly resolved?"
Zhang Wuren looked at me quietly, and then asked me: "Have you made up your mind?"
I nodded firmly: "I've thought about it. I have to go to the front line of the battlefield of life and death. Only through this stimulation can I know how to do those four things, and can I possibly find the original purpose of Tianzi
inherited!"
Zhang Wuren was silent for a long time, then took out his cell phone and said, "Please inform Deputy Commander Di Ming that I want to arrange for someone to join the patrol team. That's right! It's the patrol team at the front line!"
After he hung up the phone, he stared at me carefully and said: "On the battlefield, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. If something goes wrong, you must retreat in time. Also, do you need me to arrange for someone to protect you?"
I laughed: "Old Zhang, you underestimate me too much. Although I can't remember the inheritance of Tianzi, the methods you and Lao He taught me are still there, and my evil-suppressing short stick is still there!"
