I made up myths in America

Chapter 70: Your Holiness, What Do You Think?

Bang! !

Almost at the moment when those English words for death appeared, all the light bulbs in the room suddenly exploded.

The surveillance video capturing the scene inside the room fell into darkness.

The FBI agents could only hear the two girls' short and intense screams, and then everything returned to calm.

Only the camera with night shooting mode turned on sent back a somewhat blurry picture.

The two girls sat on their chairs with their eyes wide open and their heads tilted back. The broken pencils were stuck in their right eyes.

"."

This terrifying and strange scene instantly made the noise in the command room become quiet.

Everyone turned their eyes to George Gently.

George Gently stood there, eyes closed, in deep thought for a moment. Then, opening his eyes and letting out a breath, he said, "Report to Washington. We can only barely maintain the situation right now. To reverse the situation, the President must personally intervene and request assistance from the Vatican, or even launch a nuclear attack."

"Yes."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Vatican!!

As the seat of the Catholic Church, although it is the smallest country in the world in terms of land area, this does not affect its status in the hearts of billions of Christians around the world.

Especially because of the recent frequent occurrence of extraordinary events, the Catholic Church, which once ruled Europe for thousands of years, has received widespread attention.

Thousands of tourists continue to pour into this city-state, bringing new vitality to the Vatican, which has gradually declined since entering the modern era. However, this also causes trouble for the Vatican's top leaders, namely Pope Francis and the cardinals.

Good news: Now the intelligence agencies of all mainstream countries believe that the Vatican is hiding a very powerful supernatural organization, the Thirteenth Department of the Holy See, and they want to establish good relations with them.

The bad news: Even they themselves don’t know about this organization, and if we tell others about it, no one will believe it.

"Your Holiness, did the President of the United States call you again just now?"

In the Pope's Palace, several white old men, whose average age was over seventy, sat there with gloomy faces.
Among them, Archbishop Antonio, who had last visited New York on behalf of the Pope, spoke up and asked Pope Francis who had just answered a phone call.

"Yes."

Francis, who is almost 90 years old this year, sighed and nodded. "A black moon has appeared in the sky over Los Angeles, suspected to be related to the power of evil gods. The President hopes that the Vatican can send its extraordinary power to help him resolve this problem. This will mark the beginning of a deeper friendship between our two countries."

"Ah this."

The cardinals fell silent.

They understand what the President means.

If they really have such an extraordinary power in their hands, this would indeed be a good opportunity for the Vatican, which has declined for hundreds of years, to return to the stage of the world's power center.

But they don’t know where this damn Thirteenth Department is.

After all, due to wars, fires and other reasons in history, they have lost too much information and classics.

After searching the entire library these days and finding nothing, the Vatican officials present felt a little insecure.

Perhaps the extraordinary organization of the Thirteenth Department of the Holy See has already disappeared from history??!

After all, if he really had such a powerful supernatural power, they didn't believe that the Pope of the past could have endured such a rage and been driven here by the kings of Europe. Just as these cardinals were uneasy, thinking about various possibilities regarding the Thirteen Departments of the Holy See.

Pope Francis's cell phone is ringing again.

But this time it was no longer the President of the United States, but a cardinal he had sent to the Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany.

After Francis pressed the answer button, the cardinal's extremely excited voice came from the phone.

"Your Holiness, I found it! I found clues about the Thirteenth Department of the Holy See!"

"What?!!"

Hearing this, some of the listless old men in the room instantly perked up, suddenly raised their heads and looked at the mobile phone in the Pope's hand.

A few minutes later, a dozen white old men dressed in cardinal robes gathered around a computer with excited faces, looking at the scanned documents that had just been sent to them.

This is a tattered notebook with a history of thousands of years, made of parchment from that time.

The owner of the notebook was a medieval priest who set out from Hanover, Germany, on a pilgrimage to Santiago, Spain.

Such devout believers were very common in the Middle Ages, when the religious atmosphere was extremely strong.

The biggest dream of many Europeans at that time was to make a pilgrimage to the Christian holy city of Jerusalem.

Alternatively, San Diego, the burial place of Saint James, is also a good choice.

Due to the extremely poor transportation conditions at the time and the possibility of encountering bandits, wild beasts, epidemics, etc. along the way, most devout pilgrims died on the road before reaching their destination.

The owner of this notebook, Father Bainward, is lucky.

He recorded in his notes that when he passed through a village in France, he was almost killed by a monster that looked like a vampire there. At this time, a mysterious man appeared and saved him.

This mysterious man wears an exquisite silver cross, but never talks about his faith and never prays.

It was not until they traveled south together to Santiago and their relationship became increasingly harmonious that Father Bainward learned his name and origins from the other party.

The man's name is Van Helsing, and he comes from an organization that has been abolished by the Vatican - the Thirteenth Department of the Vatican.

"Confused!!"

Pope Francis wanted to slap his thigh when he saw this.

He really didn't expect that there would be such a fool among his predecessors, and that his own extraordinary organization would be willing to lay him off.

What kind of brain circuit can make such a stupid decision!!!
"I was very surprised and asked Van Helsing why His Holiness the Pope did this?"

"But Van Helsing just smiled and didn't tell me the answer. He said: When facing the Lord's test, not everyone can stand firm in their faith, not even the Pope is an exception."

The notes stop here, and the content about Van Helsing and the Thirteen Departments of the Vatican comes to an abrupt end. The rest only records some of Father Bainward's observations and experiences on the pilgrimage.

Until Pope Francis and the cardinals, with nervous and uneasy mood, turned to the last page of the yellowed notes on the computer.

"Under the Lord's blessing, we arrived safely in Santiago. Van Helsing said goodbye to me there. Before leaving, he gave me his exquisite silver cross, saying he wouldn't need it anymore."

"I asked him where he was going?"

"He said he was tired and wanted to find a place to have a good sleep."
