From Vivian's eyes, Lin Fan saw a determination to die. He didn't understand why Vivian suddenly had the will to die, even the relationship between her and Fatty was abandoned.
Seeing what Lin Fan said, the hesitation in the Pope's heart disappeared. He suddenly became cruel and the golden scepter in his hand immediately flew towards Conrad and Vivian.
In an instant, the scepter penetrated directly into the bodies of Conrad and Wei Wei'an.
Vivian groaned, but showed a relieved smile, reluctantly glanced in a certain direction, and suddenly there was a loud bang and an explosion.
Conrad and Vivian were directly destroyed by ashes.
Everything became quiet, and everyone felt as if they had walked through the gates of hell.
At this time, there was a roar of cars in the distance, and not long after, a car stopped in front of everyone.
Immediately, two figures got out of the car, namely Alice and Du Hai.
When Du Hai saw Vivian, he immediately asked Lin Fan anxiously: "Boss, where is Vivian? Didn't she come here?"
He and Alice chased after Vivian all the way. Even though they increased their speed to the maximum, they still couldn't catch up with Wei Wei's speed.
"Fat man, Vivian..."
A trace of worry appeared on Lin Fan's face. He didn't expect that Du Hai's feelings for Wei Wei'an had fallen so deep.
"What's wrong with Vivian?" Du Hai asked nervously.
Lin Fan sighed, "Vivian and Conrad died together!"
"What?" Du Hai staggered back a step.
Seeing Fatty like this, Lin Fan quickly said comfortingly: "Fatty, don't be sad, this is Vivian's own choice!"
When Du Hai heard this, his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground.
At this time, Alice came over and looked at Lin Fan with concern and asked, "Are you injured?"
"It's okay!" Lin Fan waved his hand and said.
Three days later, at the gate of Rothschild Manor.
Lin Fan and Du Hai were about to say goodbye and leave.
Lin Fan and Fatty have been living here these days. After three days of recuperation at Rothschild Manor, Lin Fan's internal injuries have healed, and Fatty has also recovered from the sadness of Vivian's death. But
The whole person's temperament became darker.
Seeing Du Hai become like this, Lin Fan sighed in his heart. It seemed that this blow really had a great impact on him. He only hoped that Du Hai would really meet a woman who suits him from Vivian's in the future.
Completely detached from that relationship.
"Are you really ready to leave so soon?"
Alice looked at Lin Fan and said, feeling slightly complicated.
"Well, I should have left when the Illuminati was destroyed." Lin Fan nodded and said.
Thinking that he would soon be able to return to the East China Sea and see Xia Meng, Lin Fan unconsciously raised a smile on his lips.
Xia Meng called him in the past few days and asked him when he would go back. If it weren't for the fact that his internal injuries had not healed, Lin Fan would have gone back long ago.
A look of sadness appeared on Alice's face when she heard this, but she quickly raised the corner of her mouth again, thinking that Lin Fan would find it very interesting to see her surprised look soon.
"this is for you!"
Alice handed a palm-sized sandalwood box to Lin Fandao.
"What's this?"
Lin Fan took the box Alice handed him and asked with a strange expression.
"You'll know after you open it and take a look." Alice said with a smile.
Seeing how mysterious Alice was, Lin Fan immediately opened the box and immediately saw what was lying inside, and immediately showed a strange expression.
If he remembered correctly, this was the Dongzhu that Alice bought at a high price at the auction house.
"I can't take such a valuable thing, you'd better take it back." Lin Fan quickly closed the box and handed it back to Alice.
You know, this is what Alice spent 800 million US dollars to get.
Alice shook her head and said: "No matter how precious it is, it is just a bead, and it has no meaning to me anymore, but it may be of great use to you in the future."
"So just accept it!"
"What does it mean it works for me?"
Lin Fan was slightly surprised and didn't understand what Alice meant by this. He always felt that there was something in her words.
But Alice chuckled and didn't answer. She looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Do you know why I spent so much money to take a picture of it?"
Lin Fan shook his head, of course he couldn't know.
Although Dongzhu has the effect of reducing summer heat and beautifying it, it is not enough for Alice to spend so much money to buy it. No matter how rich she is, it is not worth spending that much.
Alice said: "Because this bead is used to open the two-realm teleportation array."
"What!" Lin Fan was shocked.
Alice ignored Lin Fan's surprised expression and continued: "So, if you want to go to the spirit world in the future, this thing is indispensable. Without it, you can't go to the spirit world."
"How did you know?"
Lin Fan suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at Alice in surprise and asked.
"Of course Shen Tao told Mog to know, and Mog told all the core members of the Illuminati about this secret, telling us that once we know the whereabouts of this bead, we will get it no matter the cost, so I
That’s why I put so much effort into taking pictures.”
"No wonder Zheng Yuming also wanted to bid for this bead at that time. It must have been Conrad who instructed Zhao Mingzhu, and Zhao Mingzhu in turn instructed Zheng Yuming to do this, right?" Lin Fan said with sudden realization.
"You're right, that's exactly what it is!"
In this case, Lin Fan must accept this bead!
It's just that he doesn't understand why only Dongzhu can open the teleportation array between the two realms?
Seemingly sensing Lin Fan's doubts, Alice said with a smile: "It is said that there is a special energy stored in the Dongzhu. This energy can pass through the dimensional wall and has been slowly accumulated over the long years of the universe.
And other things can't store that energy."
"It took thousands of years for the Dongzhu to be conceived in Haiyan. Cixi also got this thing by chance. She couldn't put it down and wanted to keep it as a burial object even after she died. Of course, she didn't know about this orb.
I don’t know that there is a spiritual world in this world.”
Lin Fan understood everything after hearing this, and he was immediately very grateful to Alice. If it hadn't been for the East Pearl that Alice gave him, he probably wouldn't have been able to learn about the second one.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately said to Alice: "Thank you! I will accept the orb."
"If you really want to be grateful to me, just pledge yourself and stay here, and I can make you the head of the family." Alice looked at Lin Fandan expectantly.
Lin Fan suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this, and for a moment he remembered Alice's previous confession to him.
"Alice, I understand what you mean, but it is really impossible between you and me. If you are willing, we can be good friends."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Alice's eyes, and then she shrugged and said, "It's not bad to be a good friend. Well, good friend, can you let me, a good friend, hug you before leaving?"
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Alice immediately hugged Lin Fan, her heartbeat rising for a moment.
Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica.
Pope Paul personally placed the Holy Grail in the place where the holy relics were stored, and the pain in his heart finally disappeared.
"Congratulations to the Pope for finally recovering the holy relics." Joseph looked at Pope Paul with a smile on his face and said.
This person was none other than Cardinal Joseph, who was watching the battle at the top of Mount Huashan that day. It was from him that Pope Paul first learned about Lin Fan.
At this time, besides Joseph, the only other person beside Paul was Jacob.
Pope Paul waved his hand, looked at Jacob and said: "Jacob, I am going to step down as pope and let you be the pope. I don't know what you want!"
Jacob's expression changed when he heard this, "Absolutely not!"
Although everyone in the Holy See knew that Jacob was the next pope after Paul, he was really surprised that Pope Paul was about to abdicate in advance in favor of him now that he was in good health.
"What? Are you unwilling to assume the position of Pope?" Pope Paul frowned and looked at Jacob.
Jacob shook his head.
"Why is that?" the Pope asked with a strange look on his face.
Jacob said: "The Pope is only over sixty years old. He can definitely serve the Holy See again. There is no need to hand over the position to me so early."
After hearing this, the Pope understood what Jacob meant. He couldn't help but smile happily and said: "This has nothing to do with my age. The reason why I want to abdicate early is what I said earlier. Do you still remember that I was in the castle?"
What did you say?"
Jacob was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood the real reason why the Pope wanted to pass the throne to him.
On that day, the Pope felt that he was forcing Lin Fan to join forces with them to deal with Conrad on the condition of Vivian's whereabouts. He knew that his moral integrity was lacking, so he threatened to step down from the Pope's position once Conrad's matter was settled.
I go to church and confess to God every day.
Jacob originally thought that the Pope was just talking casually, but unexpectedly he took it seriously.
So he immediately comforted him by saying, "That was just a helpless act done in a hurry, and it cannot be taken seriously!"
The Pope said solemnly: "If you don't believe it, you won't stand. Since I have said this, I must keep my promise! Otherwise, how can I set an example for all believers in the world? So needless to say, it's settled.
Three days later, I will inform the Holy See and let all believers know the news, so that you can prepare for the succession ceremony."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Seeing that the Pope had made up his mind, Jacob could only stop persuading him.
But Joseph next to him had a gloomy look in his eyes, and his hands were clenched unconsciously.
After leaving St. Peter's Basilica and saying goodbye to the Pope, Joseph immediately turned to Jacob with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, Jacob! You will become the new Pope soon."
"This is all the Pope's trust and cultivation!"
Jacob said humbly, without any pride on his face.
It can be seen that he is indeed a man of high moral character, otherwise he would not have been chosen as the next pope, and Pope Paul would not have such high regard and trust in him.
"Yes, the Pope really trusts you. I will be your subordinate from now on. Please take good care of me!" Joseph said with an apologetic smile.
"Seriously, they are all serving the Holy See!" Jacob said hurriedly.
