The dark underground chamber has always been open to popes throughout the ages.
The Seven Sins stepped in here with familiarity, passed through the defensive measures, and reached the deepest room.
The room was not spacious and could only accommodate ten people. Qi Zui, who was wearing casual clothes, slowly looked around at the walls. There were portraits of people hanging on them. The first one was wearing armor and had been in the room.
Myself on the battlefield.
Founding the Holy See by myself, when I think about it carefully, it is really unrealistic. Hundreds of years have passed, and several popes have changed, but I am still the same as before.
Immortal and immortal.
Even the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes didn't show any signs of appearing.
As if he were forgotten by time and death.
The day you choose power, you lose the right to live, grow old, sick and die like ordinary people.
"But I won't regret it." Looking at his portrait, I couldn't remember what I was thinking at that time. Qi Zui stood quietly in this room, and a few hours passed by, immersed in his own thoughts.
In my memory, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me, accompanied by the sound of the scepter hitting the ground.
The Pope came behind Qisui. He was not surprised when the silver-haired girl appeared here. Instead, he respectfully whispered: "Your Majesty..." "You are your Majesty here now." Qisui didn't show any surprise at all.
He answered without hesitation. In his heart, neither his status as the leader of a country nor his title as pope were anything worthy of nostalgia. "When I come back this time, I hope to reach an agreement with you. The enemy we have to face is not
What a simple guy." "I know that if Ye Wudao is the mastermind behind the scenes, then it will probably be a hard battle beyond imagination." The pope approached and stopped less than half a meter away from the Seven Sins, and then kept a slight bow.
"Even..." "It may even lead to the destruction of the Holy See. Maybe this realization is too heavy for you, but I want to remind you that you must be mentally prepared for this war.
." Qisui turned around, maintaining his usual indifference, "After that, Bai Yu and I will try to find out Ye Wudao's purpose. That man is not the kind of man who wants to destroy everything because of boring ambition.
Guy." "Yes, we will go all out here." After meeting the clear eyes of Qi Sin, the Pope subconsciously lowered his head further, and then, the sound of Qi Sin's retreating footsteps sounded in his ears. In the secret room,
Only the Pope was left.
The wrinkled face flickered in the dim light of the room, and the cloudy eyes stayed on the portrait of the Seven Sins, lost in thought.
Thirty years ago, as a young man, he followed the previous pope to the place where the Seven Sins slept, where he saw the silver-haired girl lying in the crystal coffin. The previous pope had already chosen his successor at that time, so he had to let the successor
Know the existence of the seven sins.
Just one glance made me, who was still young at the time, unable to take my eyes away. I had never seen such a beautiful woman, like an angel descending from the sky, pure and flawless.
At that moment, I understood something.
I fell in love with Caitlin.
Falling in love with this legendary queen who established the Holy See.
From now on, no woman can come into my heart.
When the memory was interrupted and he returned to the present, the pope opened his palms with a wry smile. The tarnished skin was already full of wrinkles, but Qi Sin was still young and beautiful. Just thinking of her protecting Bai Yu in this way made him unable to control his heart.
There was a twinge of jealousy in his heart. Of course, such an ugly behavior could not be exposed in front of his subordinates.
"Your Majesty the Queen..." Taking a deep breath, I could still smell the fragrance of the Seven Sins lingering in the air. I closed my eyes intoxicated and thought about it for a long time.
Early the next morning, Comilla's body was found, and the Holy See immediately held an emergency meeting.
Kermilla was lying on the floor in the center with a distorted expression, her body had already lost its temperature. Gathered here were the Star Exorcist, the Pope, and Bai Yu's group.
The scars on Caesar's face had not disappeared, and his conflict with Comilla was also known to everyone. For a while, everyone looked at him with suspicion.
Acousse also participated in this meeting. He did not think that Caesar would be so bored as to vent his anger and kill Comilla. When he wanted to explain a few words, Renault dismissed his idea rudely.
: "Yakuser, you don't need to speak now. I just want to know, Caesar, where did you go after the conflict with Kermilla last night?" "Hey, hey, this is a clear-cut question.
"Caesar puffed up his chest without any fear, and showed a disdainful smile at Renault's sharp, knife-like gaze, "I was beaten in vain by Camilla for a long time, of course I went to apply medicine." "Can anyone testify?
"Reno asked without giving him a chance.
"Testify? Huh..." Caesar hesitated and did not say that he was with Gao Yan. That unfortunate woman had encountered too many things. If his words caused her to endure more gossip, he would always feel guilty.
Lan and Bai Ling, who were standing next to Renault, were both a little surprised by Renault's hostile behavior. In the past, he didn't seem to be this kind of person.
"Since I can't answer..." "So what if there is no witness?" Bai Yu was upset by Renault's aggressiveness. He didn't like the suspicious tone of others, because he could see that Renault was questioning Caesar over and over again. It was clear that
It was directed at him, "If there are no witnesses, you will be imprisoned." Renault's words full of gunpowder made Qi Sin and Jiu raise their eyebrows. This fragile alliance seemed to be falling apart at any time.
The Pope did not speak, but turned his attention to the white-haired old lady Dong Granny standing in the corner, and asked: "Is there anything abnormal last night?" "No, everything in the barrier is normal." He answered simply,
Grandma Dong does not consider herself an enemy from outside.
Bai Ling, who was responsible for inspecting the scene, took a step forward and said: "According to the remaining spirits at the scene, there seems to be traces of disaster, and... at least it is LV3 or above." "How can there be a disaster without an owner within the Holy See? If
Yes, then there is only one possibility, to be brought in by others, but everyone entering the Holy See will undergo strict inspection, except... some people who have recently arrived in the Holy See." Renault's justified suspicion made Bai Yu curl his lips, and the man beside him
Seven Sins took a step forward, approached Kermilla's body, squatted down, and inspected the wound.
The Pope naturally knew that this attack was not an act of Caesar, and this guy was not a fool. Since he could endure Comilla's rude beating, how could he commit murder to vent his anger afterwards?
"Wu Zhe, Deiya, what do you think?" The pope asked the other two exorcists.
Wu Zhe was responsible for the surveillance of the entire Holy See, and his ability matched the surveillance. After hearing the Pope's question, he lowered his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I looked at the surveillance camera, where Comilla was killed."
Blocked by the pillars in the hallway, it’s a perfect blind spot.”
The implication is that the other party is well aware of the surveillance arrangements of the Holy See.
Caesar, who used to be an exorcist for the Vatican, naturally added invisible suspicions.
"I have explored the entire Holy See, and there have been traces of disasters, but I can't catch any traces of them. It's like they appeared before and suddenly disappeared." The woman named Deya is another security measure of the Holy See.
, she can capture enemies through her breath and spirit. Compared to Granny Dong, who has a rigid look on her face, Dia is the opposite, with a kind smile. If she were put on the road, she would probably just be regarded as a friendly middle-aged person.
Woman, "But one thing is certain, it was a calamity that killed Kermilla."
"His tongue was bitten off." He opened Kermilla's mouth with his fingers. Qizui observed carefully for a while, "How much of the surveillance footage could capture at that time?" "Only half of Kermilla could be captured.
Body." Wu Zhe's hand projected an influence. Under the eyes of everyone, they saw the scene before Kemila was killed. It seemed that a pair of arms hugged him, "That way, it looked like they were kissing."
Wen Qianqian thought of some scenes in TV dramas and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then she realized awkwardly that the scene in front of her was not suitable for laughter.
"Kissing?" Jiu struck the palm of his hand with a folding fan as if he was awakened. "You said it, it is indeed very similar." "Kissing a calamity? It's really a big news." Caesar seemed to be refuting Wen Qianqian.
The statement is actually mocking Comilla's moral integrity.
"I'm afraid he was confused, and then his tongue was bitten off by the other party, and he was hit on the chest again, killing him completely." Speaking of his speculation, Qi Sin actually had a doubt in his heart, how did the disaster enter the knot?
The inner court of boundary protection.
"The disaster that likes to eat human tongues, the LV4 disaster - Yilan, if I remember correctly, that guy has a similar quirk." Zhong Buzhou shook the bangs in front of his forehead and let them float in the air.
Search the memory for the name of a certain disaster.
Bai Yu was stunned, and then said with a strange expression: "This sounds like a woman's name."
"That disaster has the appearance of a human being. She is a beautiful woman. She likes to bite off her tongue before killing humans." Zhong Buzhou's master had participated in the battle against Yilan and had heard about it.
"Yilan has disappeared for almost twenty years." Renault obviously had some impression of this name, but, I don't know when, the disaster completely disappeared from the sight of the Holy See.
"Twenty years of disappearance does not mean that it has been eliminated or hidden, such as the Hundred Ghosts at Night." Bai Ling thought of the organization established by the count himself, "Could it be sent by the count?" He came to this conclusion.
It seems abrupt, but in fact it is so natural, "Then the question still exists, how did Yilan enter the Holy See." Renault still did not give up his point of view. In his opinion, this was a very legitimate suspicion. Bai Yu and others were completely
Yilan can be brought into the Holy See. After all, they also have an unclear relationship with the count.
"It is impossible to enter the Holy See simply by relying on disaster." He reiterated many times. In Renault's view, Bai Yu and his party were the most suspicious.
"That's enough, Renault." The Pope stopped him for the first time, and he could be regarded as seeing the abnormality of his subordinate. "From now on, we will strengthen patrols everywhere. As long as it is still in the Holy See, it cannot escape. After all, this is
The enchanted world controlled by us." Granny Dong nodded in approval. The place everyone is in is a world created by Granny Dong and a group of outstanding exorcists, just like the enchanted world created by Li Ruiqi before.
generally.
"In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings, after you have used the spiritual points, please go back to your respective rooms and do not walk around casually." This was a request for Bai Yu and his party. The Pope made a final decision. Although he was suspected of letting
Bai Yu was very unhappy, but he knew that the Pope's approach was also to protect them. When there was suspicion on both sides, this was the only way to ensure the continuation of the alliance.
The other party chose to kill Kermilla at this time, probably just to destroy the alliance this time. Was it the Count who did it? Bai Yu was not sure, he only felt that the enemy in the dark had been coveting his side.
Disturbing.
The Holy See was also very efficient. It immediately mobilized all the exorcists on standby in the Holy See and began patrols and inspections to find out the possible disaster.
But, is this really effective?
After finishing today's training, Bai Yu returned from the spiritual cave and went to his room, which had complete supporting facilities. Bai Yu pulled the T-shirt that was stuck to his body with sweat, feeling an indescribable irritation in his heart.
I quickly took off my clothes, walked into the bathroom, turned on the nozzle, and let the gushing water hit my body. I adjusted the water temperature slightly, and then let the water hit my body and face, and started to communicate in my heart.
Another consciousness.
"Taotie, did Ye Wudao instruct you about the attack on Linhai City?" In fact, he had wanted to ask this question before. Ever since the Pope revealed the truth, Bai Yu's mind was filled with similar thoughts, "Ye Wudao
Is he the culprit that caused that earthquake?" Unexpectedly, Tao Xi, who could fight simultaneously with him when he activated the Black Knight, was silent this time. He didn't even say a word of ridicule in the past. "
Answer me." There was still no response, no matter how hard Bai Yu tried to call.
It looks like a crazy person talking to himself.
In the bathroom, apart from the sound of water, there was only Bai Yu talking to himself.
"Damn it!" "Bang" punched the wall in front of him hard, and then, the water that hit the ground was mixed with a trace of bright red, "Answer me, is my enemy Ye Wudao?" He suppressed it with all his strength.
He is about to reach his limit. These days, his seemingly normal self is actually becoming abnormal. Bai Yu has not told anyone, including Luo Minmin and Qixi. He has been forcing himself to change, facing Mr. Wu's attack.
Sometimes, you calmly think about what to do and engage in physical and mental battles. Others marvel at your changes, but who knows the price paid for these changes.
"Damn it..." He muttered to himself and stood under the shower. He didn't notice that the sliding door of the bathroom behind him was opened, and a figure that shouldn't be there appeared.
Just a moment of incongruity.
