Chapter 126: Those who play with Holy Light are heartbroken
Cathedral Quiet Room.
The dome is a huge rose window, which renders the light and shadow colorful and variegated, making people feel like they are in a dream, and their thoughts are trapped in the illusion of weightlessness.
There is a white cross as tall as a person hanging on the wall. The colorful light cannot fall on it. It is always pure white without a trace of extra color.
Mona stood in the center of the quiet room, with the complex and mysterious Holy Light Array at her feet. She was bathed in the light and felt that her soul was cleansed and the devil had left her.
Atli found Archbishop Gunther, and the two stood outside the Holy Light Array. Atli handed the Holy Grail filled with holy water to Mona, smiling and encouraging her.
Archbishop Gunther looks middle-aged, with a fair face and no beard. In fact, his real age is older than Atli.
As a Golden Mage, Atli participated in too many battles. When he was young, he didn't know how to restrain himself. He was not afraid of death and injury with the help of holy light magic. On the battlefield, when there were fewer enemies and more enemies, he was always angry and unparalleled.
As I get older, the hidden wounds left over the years are aging faster. Although Wushuang can still drive, his hands and feet are far less agile than when he was young. He is currently considering switching to a civilian job.
At the same time, Atli's violent temper has been reduced a lot. He looks majestic but is actually very talkative. He is as caring as a loving father to his subordinates, especially.
On the contrary, Archbishop Gunther has clear principles and has transformed from a good old man in his youth to a cesspool now.
Time is like a butcher's knife, killing civil servants with hard hearts and brave warriors on the battlefield with disgusting faces.
Mona held the holy water in her mouth and looked at the two leaders respectfully.
Archbishop Gunther nodded and activated the magic circle. The holy light dispersed like mist and turned into strips of white ribbons, wrapping around Mona's body, tightly wrapping her from head to toe.
The cross on the wall casts light and shadow, just behind Mona.
Mona relaxed and her thoughts were released. A white belt slowly unfolded to express her thoughts in the form of words and graphics.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy and missing important information, Gunther did not dispel the parasitic thoughts in Mona's body immediately, and asked: "Who is the attacker, and who is the devil of faith?"
A faceless portrait appeared on the belt, followed by a series of words: "He uses the magic of blood. He originally believed in the blood tyrant of hell, but during my pursuit, he encountered another powerful devil, His thoughts were tampered with by the other party, and his name was changed to Bruce, and his beliefs also changed accordingly. "
Wayne's knife was neither light nor heavy. Mona was unconscious at the time but not completely unconscious. She vaguely heard the Thousand-Eyed Demon's voice. The clearest several times were when his hands touched her butt.
Mona didn't mention the dirty tricks, thinking she was unlucky, and told how Wayne was violently twisted by the Thousand-Eyed Demon and became his pawn, forcing him to give up his original beliefs.
It's the Thousand-Eyed Demon!
Atli and Gunther looked at each other and saw their guesses in each other's eyes. They had received information from Jianhe County that the Thousand-Eyed Demon had successfully arrived and stolen many treasures from St. Dominic's Cathedral.
Such as the holy cloth.
The enemy rose from the devil's disciples to the devil himself. Gunther looked solemn and continued to ask questions.
The belt reveals all of Mona's words, and the inexpressible parts are directly illustrated: "The devil is hiding underground in Lundan, but the entrance is not in the sewers. It is one or more ancient and abandoned cities. You need to go through the portal to enter and exit."
"The city projected by hell, the devil projected his territory into the human world." Atli murmured, his expression becoming solemn.
The advent of the Thousand-Eyed Demon was very successful, and the Holy Skeleton Cloth was indispensable. The Thousand-Eyed Demon's ability was brought into full play. Although it was far less terrifying than when he was in hell, it was definitely several times stronger than the state when it normally descended.
Mona continued: "Bruce was controlled by the devil. The devil gave him a task, and he gave the task to me, asking me to find someone in Lundan..."
"I have seen the formation formation on the 'Seventh Forbidden Technique'. There are six hundred and sixty-six corpses of cultists. After stitching, the entrance to hell will be born in the corpse demon's chest..."
"Bruce asked me to put together sixty-six lists..."
"He planted two commands in my mind, not to commit suicide and not to reveal his existence to others..."
But you said it anyway! x2
Atli and Gunther looked at each other. The other didn't seem very smart. If it wasn't a problem with his IQ, he must have a misunderstanding of the Holy See's methods.
"His thinking is contaminated, and it's not surprising that he made such a low-level mistake." Atli said.
"Maybe..."
Gunther was noncommittal, agreeing with Atlee's inference, but not entirely, and then asked: "What else do you know about the devil?"
"The devil has summoned a large number of black magicians to serve and gathered in the ancient underground city. One of the leaders named Jerryv said when he recruited Bruce that the devil was brewing a big conspiracy. Once successful, it would be enough to destroy the Holy See in London. All forces."
A golden light bloomed in Atli's eyes, and Gunther frowned again. Such detailed information, so detailed that he seemed to be at the scene. He knew everything as soon as the devil gave the order.
Unreasonable and weird everywhere!
Gunther made a guess. First of all, it is certain that the cultist named Bruce is a big problem.
Mona was able to bring back the information alive, and Bruce took the greatest credit. It was very likely that he did it on purpose.
Gunther is not naive enough to believe in a cultist. Bruce can use blood magic, which shows that the blood tyrant has made a big bet on him, and he is by no means as simple as an ordinary believer.
There are only two possibilities for Mona to bring back information. One is that Bruce is not controlled by the Thousand-Eyed Demon and hopes to eradicate the Thousand-Eyed Demon with the help of the Holy See.
This operation is devilish!
The second is that Bruce has been completely controlled by the Thousand-Eyed Demon, and it was the Thousand-Eyed Demon who asked Mona to bring back the information. The devil has a more terrifying plan. He actively sent the information to confuse the Holy See to relax its vigilance.
The second operation was also very devilish, but the loophole was too big. Gunther thought that he could see through it at a glance, and there was no need for the devil to go through all the trouble.
Well, it doesn't rule out that the devil saw through him and did it on purpose.
"Archbishop, Bruce asked me to provide a list of people to show up at eleven o'clock tonight at the apartment in the West End where I live." Mona's words appeared on the belt, and after she finished speaking, she felt relaxed.
"I'll make you look good tonight!"
"If you dare to touch my butt, I will chop off your claws when the time comes!"
"..."
Atli interrupted the embarrassment: "Gunther, the information is enough. Let her go and dispel the evil thoughts. She should not continue to suffer."
"No, the information is far from enough. For example, in the portal, the Thousand-Eyed Demon still has the active advantage." Gunther shook his head.
"What's the meaning?"
A sudden thought occurred to Atli, and he had a bad feeling.
"I need Mona to stay undercover."
"How is this possible..."
Atli's voice rose an octave, and in order to take care of Mona's mood, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "As you can see, she has sacrificed a lot. If she continues to stay with the devil, she may not be able to retain her purity."
Atli: He dared to touch his butt last night, and he dared to touch his chest tonight. He will have children the day after tomorrow.
"Can you find the portal? If we free her now, the clues are gone. Where can we find Bruce, and how can we stop the Thousand-Eyed Demon?"
Gunther glared at Atli fiercely, and when he saw what the other person wanted to say, he interrupted directly: "No matter what the devil's plan is, at least it is to destroy the power of the Holy See in Lundan. What right do you have to be soft-hearted? Let’s wait until the day you become the Archbishop!”
Atli was choked so much that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He gasped and glared at Gunther: "Sending the Father's children to the devil and expelling the devil in this way, what is the difference between us and the devil?"
The difference between one person and one city!
Gunther gave the answer in his mind, but did not say it out loud after all. He glanced at Atli and told his guess.
"You suspect that Bruce is not controlled by the Thousand-Eyed Demon, and that Mona came back with the information on purpose?" Atli was greatly surprised. He calmed down and thought about it. It was indeed possible.
However, these are all speculations and assumptions, and cannot be supported without evidence.
The conversation between the two in low voices was heard by Mona. The body wrapped in white cloth was silent for a moment, and a line of text slowly appeared on the belt: "Archbishop, Captain, I am willing to continue undercover, even if I sacrifice myself, I have nothing to fear."
The devil is right, since there is always one person to sacrifice, why can't it be her; if many people are going to lose their lives, why can't she be the only one to lose everything.
Seeing the awareness shown by Mona, Atli was both pleased and angry, glaring at Gunther beside him.
This old boy must have done it on purpose. He could have been dragged outside the house to explain clearly!
Gunther did it on purpose. He sighed: "Mona, you are an excellent clergyman. Your faith is unquestionable. Don't worry, I will not let your purity be tainted with sin."
Gunther controlled the Holy Light Circle, separated the evil thoughts in Mona's body and sealed them. The seal was perfect, ensuring that Mona could hear the whispers of the devil, but would not be at the mercy of the other party.
At the same time, because it is only a seal rather than an expulsion, 'Bruce' will not notice that Mona is out of control.
Gunther narrowed his eyes slightly. In this way, not only could Mona retain her independent will during the undercover period, but she could also test whether 'Bruce' was controlled by the Thousand-Eyed Demon. This is critical!
After the seal was completed and the white band dispersed, Mona's face stood still as usual, not feeling depressed or despairing about the upcoming tragic fate.
"The spirit of sacrifice, how wonderful it would be if it were you..."
Gunther murmured, then asked: "Is there anything going on at the detective agency? How is the investigation going?"
"Wayne is very wary of me. I can hardly find time to spend alone time with him." Mona was helpless. Compared with the youthful female college students around her boss, she was already an old woman.
"It doesn't matter. When this matter is over, I will send a commission to the detective agency. If you follow him by then, you will definitely be able to find something."
After Gunther finished speaking, he took a deep look at Mona and said meaningfully: "Your spirit of sacrifice is worthy of encouragement, but the Holy See has not yet reached the time for you young people to sacrifice. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I will prepare the list. , leave it to Bruce tonight, keep an eye on it, he trusts you now, get more information."
Can we still get information?
Mona was surprised and nodded to show that she understood.
in addition……
Why is there a list?
"Why is there a list? Do you know which cultists are hidden in Lundan?" Atli said displeasedly. Gunther had an independent intelligence system without telling him.
"Know a little, not much."
Gunther mentioned that he did have an independent intelligence system, related to the Windsor royal family, or to be precise, related to the Free Mage Alliance.
The Free Mage Alliance believes in everything and refuses to accept anyone who comes, including the belief in hell.
Gunther once cooperated with the Free Mage Alliance to eradicate part of the faith, leaving some unattractive little characters for fishing.
Fighting against the coming of the devil is like defending a city. The devil can fail ten, a hundred, or a thousand times. As long as you succeed once, you will be completely successful.
On the contrary, the Holy See cannot afford to lose even once.
Gunther has been an archbishop for many years, and his character has become increasingly mature. He is not as paranoid as Atli. In order to defend the city, he does not mind using small means.
Things have priorities, and he knows what he should do when, even if it's working with 'Bruce'.
This is his principle as an archbishop!
————
It's night.
Eleven pm.
Wayne got out of the sewer and arrived at Mona's house as promised.
Before coming, he asked Abin to stay for three hours to make sure that Mona returned home alone and that there were no ambush around her.
This was good news for Wayne, but it was also bad news. No one from the Vatican accepted the wink he tried so hard to wink.
"No wonder you have fallen. Each of you has a rigid mind. You deserve to be suppressed..."
Wayne pried the door and slipped the lock, and opened the door of the villa with two paper clips. Seeing Mona sitting upright on the sofa, he smiled coldly and said, "Do you want a reward if you didn't open the door when you knew I was coming?"
Mona was sullen and unwilling to reply.
Wayne curled his lips, slightly unhappy, and tentatively said, "It's summer now, and I'm wearing long clothes and trousers. Why are you wearing so many clothes? If you take them off, it'll be an eyesore."
Mona's eyes widened in anger, sensing the voice coming from the sealed mind, she reluctantly unbuttoned her long clothes and trousers.
The underwear is so white!
Wayne raised his eyebrows and became even more disappointed. As expected, the list he wanted was gone.
He glared at Mona angrily: "Look at you dressed up beautifully, but your underwear taste is so bad. It's so ugly. Go and put on your stockings."
Mona put on her stockings wordlessly, looking at the unsuspecting Wayne, she wanted to stab him to death with a sword.
It's a pity that it can't be stabbed.
An undercover agent must have the consciousness of being an undercover agent, and she is mentally prepared to sacrifice everything.
"Did you bring what I wanted?" Wayne said smoothly.
"Brought it."
Mona took out a portfolio from the drawer in the living room and put it in Wayne's hand. The latter opened it and frowned to look at it.
No more, no less, exactly sixty-six!
"This..."
Wayne took a deep breath and stared hard at Mona in front of him: "What is your identity in the Holy See? To be honest, you are not allowed to hide it."
"Member of the tactical team, responsible for killing the devil's followers." Mona looked at Wayne and said word by word.
Look at what I'm doing, I'm not a devil, you know, undercover, I just look alike.
Wayne read the file again and could confirm that the information he handed over had been received.
To take back what I said before, the Holy See has been able to stand for thousands of years. There is indeed something in it, at least there is no shortage of smart people.
But...
While looking at the list, Wayne glanced at Mona, who was only wearing underwear and stockings.
So shabby, so shabby!
As expected, he had a dirty heart when playing with Holy Light. In order to obtain information, he actively sacrificed a kind and honest person. He felt shabby when he saw it.
"Probably not. Maybe I'm overthinking."
Wayne put down the file. If possible, he hoped that the partner he would cooperate with would be as upright as he was, instead of using the devil's manipulations to deal with the devil.
"Come here, sit here."
Wayne patted his thigh and asked Mona to sit on the whip.
He could sense that his thoughts still existed in Mona's body, and he hoped that the Vatican would give it a try and not go to any lengths just for a little bit of information.
Mona clenched her fists and sat on Wayne's lap with a straight face.
Wayne: (一`一)
No, something is weird!
He was just talking, not using his mind to give orders, so cooperative...
You can already resist my orders, right?
“Jiejiejie————”
Wayne patted his silk leg and looked at the expressionless side face. He suddenly felt like teasing a good man. Bah, he meant that the development of the situation suddenly became interesting.
We all saw it, there was no force, it was voluntary.
"Get off, you're too fat."
Wayne drove away the unloving female monk, put away the list, and slapped the alchemy book on Mona's chest: "The second task is to prepare the things in the alchemy book. I will pick it up tomorrow."
“Remember, it doesn’t matter if one person is missing, everything must be prepared!!”
"..."
Mona looked at Wayne in confusion. How could such an important thing as the alchemy book be given to her so easily?
Could it be that the great leader was right and he trusted me very much?
No, this may not be as simple as trust...
Mona narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking of some impossible possibility, and decided to get some more information to confirm her guess.
She plopped down on Wayne's lap.
"???"
