On the fourth day, God said: "Let there be lights in the sky, which can divide the day and night, serve as signs, and determine festivals, days, and years, and let them shine to illuminate the whole earth." Therefore, the world has the sun, the moon, and the stars.

On the fifth day, God said: "Let there be many fish in the water, and countless birds in the sky." Therefore, numerous creatures were born in the world, filling the sea, sky and land.

On the sixth day, God said: "I will create man in my likeness, and let him rule over all the creatures and beasts on the earth", so the clay turned into the original mortals, and took over the power in the world instead of God.

On the seventh day, God saw that the world was full of vitality and orderly, so he chose to rest. Therefore, Sunday also became the day of rest for mortals.

This is the legend of the creation of the world in seven days, and this legend praises the god of war and protector of the ancient Jews, as well as the Supreme God believed by the Holy Cross Church, the Crescent Church and the major sects of the sects—— Yawei, Yahvey, or Yahweh in the Eastern population.

Of course, as the Lord of God, Yawei is well aware that the above content is all nonsense and is purely fabricated. Long before the birth of something she can’t recall, there were sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, plants and trees in the world, and human beings have already stepped on their feet. After crossing the wide river and the vast desert, as for the real creations made by her hands, the silver-haired beauty who was at the top of all the angels and was even the closest to her at one time was undoubtedly one of them.

Lucifer, formerly known as Lucifer, whose name means "the morning star that brings the dawn", is the most beautiful and powerful seraphim in the legend, because he refuses to bow his head to the Holy Spirit, and arrogantly thinks that he is the closest to God. He can also become a god himself, so he led one-third of the angels to rebel against God. Even if the rebellion failed and he was knocked down to hell, the fallen morning star still arrogantly uttered the phrase "I would rather be in hell than in heaven." Slave" cry.

Of course, the above is also nonsense, there is no so-called rebellion at all, and Lucifer is not capable of persuading one-third of the angels to follow him in an uprising. Yawei had a long talk all night, and finally chose to run away from home because she could not reach an agreement. Seeing that all the angels tried to persuade her to stay but failed, Yawei lost her morning star and lost her temper. Not only did she change Lucifer's name to Became Lucifer, and put an arrogant hat on the other party.

Today, Yawei is a visiting professor at Shonan University, and her income is indeed not low, but there is still an insurmountable distance between her and real wealth, while Lucifer is the real leader of the Lucifer family, a famous conglomerate in country A. Oil, munitions, biotechnology...everything is included, and she is involved in everything. As long as it is a profitable business, she will do almost anything.

Yawei is still Yawei, but Lucifer is no longer Lucifer. Unknowingly, there is a sad and thick barrier between the two.

"My lord, what is your reaction? Why do you refuse to sit down? Seeing me again after decades, don't you feel the joy of reuniting family members after a long absence?" Wei looked at each other for a while, Lucifer slowly raised the corners of his lips, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Oh, that's right, who in this world can still feel happy after meeting his creditor? Even though I have magnanimously canceled all your debts from 500 years ago, you still owe me a lot of money in francs, pounds, Reichsmarks, Bundesmarks, dollars and rubles, and even gold, Really, you can borrow wherever you go, and if you calculate carefully according to the inflation rate, you already owe me now..."

"Stop, stop! I didn't say I won't pay you back! I will pay you back!" Sitting down opposite Lucifer, she looked like a poor girl who was threatened and lured by the domineering president, facing the mocking gaze of the old creation, Yawei waved her hands, and said with a melancholy face: "As long as the new book can be published smoothly, you should be able to get a considerable amount of manuscript fees or royalties. If the paper can be published in an authoritative journal, Xiangnan University should also Give me a very generous reward, and when I have money, I will definitely return it to you bit by bit..."

Speaking of this, Yawei suddenly raised her hand and thumped the wooden table in front of her, startling Lucifer who was sitting across from her. There was unconcealable resentment in her eyes. She frowned and kept breaking Sui Nian said: "Really, why is the acceptance rate of my paper so low? Are the guys in those historical journals out of their minds? What is whimsical? What is too much fallacy? What is subjective assumption? What is insufficient evidence? ? Are you hairless guys trying to say that you know more about history than I do?! Thinking back to when I escaped from a Nazi concentration camp by digging a tunnel..."

"What's wrong with Yawei?" After closing the door casually, he walked into the room, hung the unseasonable clothes on his body one by one behind the chair, and Yuanshi Tianzun, who showed silver hair, asked with a chuckle .

"Don't worry, Lord Tianwangzun..." Picking up the cigar that was half-slung beside the ashtray, Lucifer took a sip, and said in fluent Chinese while breathing out the blue mist: "It's like this when you get old. Yes, I always like to remember."

"Let's order first, Morning Star..." Ignoring Yawei who was still thinking about it, Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the seat, pushed the menu in front of Lucifer, and said with a smile: "Because things It came out suddenly, and the preparations were hasty, so I can only entertain you here, and I hope you don't mind... And as far as the taste of this deity is concerned, this authentic Hunan cuisine in southern Hunan is still worth a try."

"Thank you, but it's up to you to order, after all, you are the host..." Pushing the menu back in front of Yuanshi Tianzun, Lucifer said with a humble attitude and a respectful tone: "Besides, I took the liberty of going before this trip. Come, I'm afraid I've caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"Yeah, just after you called me, the Shanghai Headquarters came to the door..." There was a bit of resentment in the eyes, as if he was looking at the children of relatives and friends, and greeted Lucifer. Looking at Yuanshi Tianzun, he said with a light smile: "The Lucifer family only said that someone would come to negotiate with the relevant departments, but they didn't say that it would be you. When your flight landed, the group of juniors from the Shonan Provincial Bureau The portable magic strength measuring instrument prepared in advance exploded on the spot."

"This is indeed my negligence, because according to my plan, before going to Shangjing to meet Mr. Liu, I want to visit my lord first..." I glanced at it from escaping from the concentration camp all the way to talking about the guerrillas with the Soviet Union Fighting side by side with Yawei, Lucifer said helplessly: "After all, this should be considered a private meeting. I don't want the relevant departments and the Department of Magic to stir up crowds... It's a pity that it seems to have the opposite effect. , The attitude shown by the Celestial Dynasty when dealing with this kind of issue is a little too sensitive, it is completely different from that in country A, I am not used to it, and I feel that it is meaningless..."

After a slight pause, the corners of Lucifer's lips twitched slightly and said: "After all, at this moment, there are four eyes watching me within a kilometer, and I can easily crush them without taking a step. Smash."

"It's like the deity can crush you without taking a single step." Looking at Lucifer, Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile.

In the next second, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lucifer raised the corners of their mouths at the same time, and let out hearty laughs. Only Yawei, who had successfully counterattacked Berlin and watched the fighting nation climb to the top of the Capitol, raised the victory flag in a daze. He turned his head, his eyes showed a bit of bewilderment, seemingly at a loss, but it was difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

Chapter-80. Ultimate Spiral

In a big room and a big dining table, Yuanshi Tianzun ordered only a few dishes, and Yue Tiansheng, who was guarding outside the door, told them on his behalf.

"Okay, the dishes, the deity has finished ordering, man, the deity has also brought it for you, next, let's be honest..." Sitting at the spotless dining table, leaning on the small white trench coat on the back of the chair After Yue Tiansheng left the room and closed the door, Yuanshi Tianzun crossed his legs and asked Lucifer with a light smile: "I'm sure there is something inconvenient for you to mention to the juniors in Shangjing when you come here. Do you want to chat with the deity and Yawei face to face?"

"Why does Lord Tianwangzun think so?" There was a bit of curiosity in the bright yellow eyes, and the corners of Lucifer's lips curled up slightly: "I just hope that I can meet with my lord before the official work starts, and reminisce about the past. Is there any problem with collecting the arrears at the same time?"

"I beg you, don't talk about it anymore..." Raising her hands in a gesture of surrender, Yawei said helplessly, "I've said it all, I will definitely pay it back, let's talk , since you left me, you guy has never been short of money, right? Why do you insist on staring at the little money I owe you? "

"Of course it's because I'm not right. After all, you owe this money. As your creator and messenger, I will certainly take this opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of demanding debt from you..." towards Yawei With a playful smile, Lucifer curled his lips slightly and said, "Besides, even with such a small amount of money, you can be so pushy when facing creditors. Does this violate your original teachings? Or is it that thousands of years of travel have corroded your creditors? Has your lofty morality led you to degenerate?"

"Ahem..." He cleared his throat in a timely manner, interrupting the communication between Lucifer and Yawei, and after refocusing the two of them on himself, Yuanshi Tianzun said with a stern face : "Morning Star, get down to business."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't seen my lord for so long, it's really hard for me..." A bit of apology first appeared on the pretty face, and then it became serious. Facing Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze, Lucifer said in a deep voice : "Actually, you made a good judgment just now. When I come to China this time, apart from meeting with relevant personnel from related departments of China, I do have some things that I would like to discuss with you and my lord face to face."

"So, what you said to me just now, such as 'unaccustomed', 'feel meaningless', are all your temptations, right?" Looking into Lucifer's eyes, Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled and said: " You are the hook, Yawei is the bait, and the deity is the fish you want to pull out of the water together with Yawei. It is precisely because of this that after landing in Shonan, you did not have the opportunity to communicate with the Shonan Provincial Bureau immediately. The juniors got in touch, but directly dialed the phone number of this seat."

"There is no other way, I can only do this..." Nodding lightly, Lucifer said with a sly smile: "It's not that I haven't considered applying to the relevant departments of the Celestial Dynasty before, but no matter what I think , these guys who are easily sensitive are unlikely to provide my lord and you and me with a conversation environment that is not monitored by them."

"What you can think of, do you think the juniors in Shangjing can't think of it?" Hearing Lucifer's explanation, Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head slightly and said: "After all, the one who came here is not the young man from the Shuicheng base. , but the biggest benefactor of the Shuicheng base, the real head of the Lucifer family, and also the angel closest to Yawei at her peak, and one of the most powerful nine-day demons known to the world."

"Please don't praise me like that anymore, Lord Tianwangzun. If someone else praised me like this, I would probably accept it happily, but if the person who praised me like this is you, I will only feel ashamed..." Tianzun waved his hands in a panic, and Lucifer chuckled and said: "As for the attitude of the relevant departments... In fact, it doesn't matter what they think. The important thing is that I need a sufficiently official and reasonable excuse to prevaricate them. , even if the reason is just an obvious lie."

"You bastard..." I was taken aback for a moment, then shifted my gaze to Yawei who was fiddling with her mobile phone with her head down, looking at the former God, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his brows lightly, with an undisguised look in his eyes She was surprised and said: "Yawei, the logic of your morning star thinking is too mortal, isn't it?"

"It's normal..." Nodding her head expressionlessly, Yawei said casually, "After all, after leaving me, Lucifer has been rolling around among mortals..."

Just as she was talking, Yawei, who was staring down at the phone screen, suddenly widened her eyes, and said excitedly: "Oh! Is it true?! The funds I bought actually went up!"

"Are you still buying this kind of thing? I seem to understand why you always pay back the debt. After all, the high and mighty Lord seems to be born without money..." Yawei's mood suddenly improved , Lucifer turned his head, smiled lightly and said to Yuanshi Tianzun: "It seems that Lord Tianwangzun, let alone me, even my lord is becoming more and more like a mortal, isn't it?"

"Oh, it just looks like..." An inexplicable emotion flashed in the ruby-like eyes, and Yuanshi Tianzun changed the subject, and said with a bit of seriousness: "If you guessed right, Lucifer, are you Did you come here for the Tokyo incident?"

"Not exactly, Lord Tianwangzun. If it's just the follow-up of the Tokyo incident, I can discuss it with the relevant departments. I don't need to shy away from them. To be precise, I don't even need to come forward in person..." Shaking his head lightly, Lucifer suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "What I want to discuss with you and my lord is the issue behind the Tokyo incident."

"The question behind it?" Instantly understanding Lucifer's intention, Yuanshi Tianzun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You may also have heard that since the end of the 19th century, I have invested a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out the research on the so-called modern mysticism. It was first in Europe, and later in country A, step by step. Today's Area 51 was supported by an NGO organization, although there are some suspicions of boasting, but when it comes to modern occultism, I can be regarded as one of the leaders..." Subconsciously leaning forward, Lucifer frowned slightly Said: "Since the end of the Age of Gods, the birth of witches has become less and less common, and the overall strength has become weaker and weaker. Until the technological development of mortals promoted the industrial revolution, no S-level witches were born in this world..."

"However, during World War I and World War II, new heavenly demons appeared in country A." Taking up Lucifer's topic, Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice.

"Strictly speaking, I can only be sure that they are very similar to us, but I can't think that they are exactly the same as us..." Shaking his head lightly, Lucifer said with a serious face: "I even said, I doubt very much, they are based on the same principles as us, born completely different things, they are the new us..."

After a slight pause, Lucifer said in a deep voice: "Marx believes that the history of mortals is spiral upward, and I don't deny Marx's concept, but Marx is only a mortal after all, and he can only look at the world with the standards of mortals. I may not be able to figure out the real spiral, Lord Tianwangzun, since the Tokyo incident, I have had an inference in my heart. In fact, the spiral of history has never really completed a week. The real spiral is not from slavery to feudalism Institutions, from the feudal system to the modern system, and in these systems continue to complete the overlap with the historical reflection, the real week should be..."

"From the coming of the gods to the departure of the gods, from the departure of the gods to the return of the gods, right?" Yuanshi Tianzun, who was sitting cross-legged on the seat, said indifferently with his ruby ​​eyes out of focus, infinitely deep .

"You..." This time, Lucifer was really stunned.

"The way of heaven goes round and round, but it's just like this..." On the other side, looking at Lucifer with a startled face, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his chin slightly, and said in a voice that was not loud, but seemed to penetrate everything: "Three The arrival of a suspected fairy is just an outpost for the return of the nine-day fairy, and the Tokyo incident is the beginning of a closed spiral..."

Speaking of this, a handsome but extremely gloomy young man suddenly flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's mind.

"No, maybe, the closed loop has already started quietly in a place that we have ignored."

....chaotic chapter.End......

Chapter-1. Middle Eastern summer night

The summer in the Middle East is long, dry, and hot. Even though it has come to the end of September, the highest temperature during the day can still approach or even reach [-] degrees Celsius. The only choice.

Thinking of this, Romano suddenly felt a little rejoiced that he had just touched the tail of summer in the Middle East. After all, in Italy, even in summer, the highest temperature rarely exceeded [-] degrees Celsius, while summer in the Middle East, or Iraq The highest temperature is said to reach a terrifying [-] degrees Celsius. In this human steamer, even monks from the Purging Force of the Holy Cross Church and known for their austerity will find it difficult to move an inch.

"Alessandro..."

Suddenly, a soft call sounded from Romano's ear. The voice was soft and clear. Romano, whose thoughts were interrupted, was startled for a moment, then turned his head following the sound, and looked at the man standing beside him. next to the girl.

It was a very beautiful girl with slightly curly long golden-brown hair, a pretty face with fair skin, fluffy skin, and a bit of cute baby fat. At first glance, she looked quite immature, as if she was underage , the height of just over 1.6 meters is even more exquisite and petite among Caucasians. Only the plumpness that supports the white T-shirt and the slenderness under the plumpness bring this girlish innocence At this moment, standing at the corner of the alley, she was staring at the street scene in front of her in a daze under the cover of night, and the simple yet prosperous lights were reflected in her amber eyes.

"What's the matter? Master Escher?" Looking at the pure girl without any evil thoughts in his eyes, Romano slightly bowed his body and asked respectfully.

"Don't... don't call me 'Master', just call me Aisher, after all, I am neither the Seventh Emperor, nor as powerful as the other sisters..." He waved his hands in a panic, with a frown Slightly hasty, the girl called Escher shook her head, and said in a serious tone: "What's more, our Lord created our angels to act on behalf of our Lord's will and serve the children of the soil. Am I putting the cart before the horse?"

After a slight pause, Escher turned his head back, and while looking at the night scene of the bustling city with lights, he sighed softly: "Besides, it's nothing serious, it's just... a little surprised. Before I came to Baghdad, I was I thought it would be very... dilapidated, and there were ruins everywhere after the war. The men all wore headscarves and big beards, and put on expressions like they wanted to eat people. The women were all wrapped up tightly. You have to wear a veil, and you will be stoned to death if you don't listen to the men..."

"Well, not bad..." Nodding slightly, Romano commented with a smile: "It does sound like the stereotype of pagans that most of us have."

"Please don't laugh at me, Alessandro..." Facing Brother Romano's ridicule, Escher said a little displeased: "You should also know that an apostle of the Lord who is not good at force like me is very Those who seldom step out of the holy land, most of their cognition of the outside world comes from newspapers and hearsay, and this situation is not a little better until there are TVs and the Internet.”

"Now that you have deeply realized your ignorance of the outside world, you should have followed my advice back then and just brought some ordinary change of clothes, instead of insisting on stuffing those sets of veils and burqas in your suitcase... With a soft smile on the corner of his lips, Romano explained softly: "Before the people of country A set foot on this land, the people here took off their turbans and burqas, not to mention that the current Iraqi regime is still controlled by A Under the influence of the secular regime single-handedly supported by the state, the citizens of Baghdad have already lived a more secular life under the guidance of intentional or unintentional guidance and the impact of secular values. They have modern TV stations, modern entertainment programs, and modern Movie theaters, and even modern bars, where young Iraqi men and women can wear not-so-Crescent attire, huddle together and tell crude, not-so-Crescent jokes..."

"Since this is the case, why did you deliberately emphasize that you can't wear a cross when you go out before you leave?" Perhaps a little unconvinced, Escher asked angrily.

"The reason is very simple, because this is Baghdad, the capital of Iraq..." The smile gradually subsided, and Romano said solemnly: "Here, all you can see is the ancient city of the Crescent Church with a long history, Those bustling lights and naive Iraqis believe that life can get better and better, but if you go out of here and look at other parts of Iraq, you will see wars, killings, and endless Extremist zealots, pointless ethnic strife and never-ending border clashes..."

Speaking of this, Romano frowned and paused word by word: "Don't forget, Lord Escher, although the situation is not as critical as it was a few years ago, Iraq is still a country rife with war, and On the land of this country, there are still countless pagan fanatics, once they are targeted, we are likely to suffer some unreasonable disasters that could have been avoided."

Hearing Romano's explanation, Escher's eyes dimmed for a moment. The novelty and excitement brought to her by this ancient city of the crescent moon were completely washed away by the monk in front of her in just a few words. net.

"Alessandro..." After a long silence, Escher asked softly, looking at the still glorious but inexplicably bleak night view of the ancient city, "Tell me, why is there a difference between mortals and mortals?" There are so many wars? Why can't everyone sit down and talk about it?"

"Because of the conflict of beliefs, because of political demands, because of the transfer of contradictions, because of the competition for resources..." As a member of the Holy Cross Church's purge force, with a deep understanding of the past history of the Holy Cross Church, Romano does not think that he He is qualified to answer this question, but in the face of the angel's doubts, he patiently explained: "In the final analysis, it's all for profit."

"If it's just for profit, let go of your prejudices, the benefits you can gain from cooperation will obviously be greater?" Dissatisfied with Brother Romano's answer, Escher asked reluctantly.

"Lord Escher, now, I will put a piece of fruit candy in front of you. If you can resist eating it, I will give you another five pieces of fruit candy at this time tomorrow..." Greeting love Looking at Scheer, Romano asked softly: "If it were you, would you choose to eat the piece of candy in front of you right away? Or would you choose to wait until tomorrow and get the other five pieces of candy from me?"

"Of course it will be tomorrow." Escher replied without thinking.

"Look, it's such a simple truth, but not everyone understands it. The direction of a regime is basically controlled by those in power, but political choices are not objective truths like one plus one equals two. There are a lot of truths in it. subjective impulse..." Citing an example that is not completely appropriate but is enough to explain in simple terms, Romano explained with a solemn expression: "Like a driver holding the steering wheel, he may be calm and calm, even if he is about to face A driver who is still able to calculate the gains and losses and even insurance compensation in the event of a traffic accident may also be a hysterical road rage..."

"Now, going back to the sugar cube analogy just now, not every decision maker has a long-term vision and is willing to cooperate with others to seek higher returns after a long wait, and when it comes to real real-world decisions , this situation will become more complicated. If the person making the choice is a person from country A, not only will he not wait, but he will immediately lift up a small bench and try to knock you down, so that all the five candies in your hand will be taken down. snatch."

"Alessandro, the mortals you speak of are a bit too unbearable..." A tangle appeared on the pretty face, and Escher frowned slightly: "If mortals are really as unbearable as you said, Why does my lord still love mortals?"

"It is precisely because I love mortals that I accept the unbearableness of mortals..." The corners of his lips curved slightly again. Facing the doubts from the angel, Brother Romano smiled softly and said: "Moreover, it is precisely because of the unbearableness of mortals that we must continue to move forward with the will of our Lord, isn't it?"

Chapter-2. Church Plan

Near midnight, in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, in Rusafah, a city on the east side of the Tigris River, a man and a woman were guarding a slightly narrow alley corner. The man looked about 30 years old, tall and slender, with black hair and black pupils, and handsome. , and the girl seems to have just passed twenty-eight years old, with a petite figure, and her pretty face still has the romance and beauty unique to this age. In the dark, they stood one after the other, keeping a distance from the lights on the street, using Gossiping to pass the time, like a white couple from Europe.

Of course, the two are not lovers, or even tourists. The man’s name is Alessandro Romano, an Italian monk of the Church of the Holy Cross, and a member of the Purging Force of the Church of the Holy Cross. The girl’s name is Her name is Escher, and she is a powerful angel from the Church of the Holy Cross. If assessed by the standards of modern mysticism, she possesses the strength of a B-rank witch.

The reason why the two people belonging to the Church of the Holy Cross came to Baghdad, where the Crescent religion is the main belief, was because of the secret mission of the Holy Land.

As early as nearly a month ago, an extremely vile and extraordinary terrorist attack took place in the Far East on the other side of the ocean. The incident was so serious that it shook the entire world. Powerful countries started close consultations, and finally decided on a preliminary cooperation plan in late September. The secret agencies of various countries will send talents, form teams, share intelligence, coordinate arrests, and launch an unprecedented joint operation. There is only one core goal - to arrest and bring to justice the Swollen Daughter who fled from Tokyo and disappeared.

It's a pity that this is the case, but things may not be like this. Not every force involved in the joint operation hopes to arrest the swollen daughter. For example, the Church of the Holy Cross, as early as the parties involved in the joint operation And before the cooperation plan was initially confirmed, Pope Fang Jie of the Church of the Holy Cross released harsh words, claiming that regardless of whether the joint task force is willing to accept the Church of the Holy Cross, the Church of the Holy Cross will take active actions, and the light of God will The devil will have nowhere to hide, and the power of God will surely send the devil back to hell!

Burn in hell!

Undoubtedly, the side of religious forces that is far away from the secular world will lead them into madness that ordinary people cannot understand, but it is also this kind of spiritual alienation from the secular world that makes them have more pure attributes. In America, the iron-blooded Pope, holding a sickle, hammer and cross, had cordial exchanges with various capital predators and comprador lackeys. The white-haired old man who has lived in St. Peter's Cathedral for a long time has deeper fears and considerations. He is very worried that some members of the task force will be bewitched by the devil, abandon their positions for the sake of profit, and turn to the devil who should have been sent to hell to be burned into dregs, begging for taboo power that should not be controlled by mortals.

Brother Romano and the angel Escher traveled to Iraq this time to carry out God’s will and crusade against the devil of blasphemy, because just two days ago, a priest who had lived in Baghdad for a long time sent a secret message, claiming that a believer In his confession, he mentioned that a female devil wearing a red cheongsam, holding a black folding fan, and using magic to confuse locals appeared in a village in northwestern Iraq recently.

It has to be said that at such a delicate time, such news suddenly appeared, no matter how you look at it, it is extremely suspicious. Regarding the authenticity of this news, the cardinals held a discussion meeting, and finally, in Antonio Under the strong request of the bishop, the pope approved the action of purging the troops based on the principle of preferring to believe what is there, not to believe what is not.

First send monk Romano and the angel Escher to enter Baghdad secretly, and confirm the authenticity of the information to the local priests and believers who sent back the news. Once the information is confirmed to be true, inform the international joint investigation team of the location of the swollen daughter At the same time, the Church of the Holy Cross will directly dispatch the seven imperial courts to Iraq to inflict merciless divine punishment on the devil who blasphemes God, and try to let the international investigation team eat directly after arriving in Iraq!It was too late to even see the swollen daughter for the last time!

Of course, the premise of all this is that the information must be true.

"What time is it?" Escher suddenly asked after watching the night scene for some time.

"It's approaching twelve o'clock, Lord Escher..." Looking down at his watch, Romano said softly, "Wait a little longer, and we can set off."

"Don't wait, let's go directly..." Turning around and looking at Romano, Escher said with a playful smile on the corner of his lips: "It is also a kind of etiquette to go to the appointment in advance, not to mention, I think That Father Rich should be within a few minutes..."

After a slight pause, Escher suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Wait! Is it called Father Rich?! I can't remember the name wrong, right?!"

"Don't worry, you remember correctly..." Romano nodded helplessly, and said with a light smile, "Let's go, let's meet the pious priest who sticks to the pagan land, if we can drive away Arrive before the believer who provided information, Father Rich may even buy us a cup of hot tea."

Different from the bustling city in my impression, the closer to the surrounding urban areas, the lower and denser the buildings in Baghdad, the more orderly and chaotic the urban layout, and the orderly in the chaotic, occasionally you can see the nearby Burned car shells and a few scattered ruins are still piled up next to the brand-new small buildings built over the years, and no one has cleaned them up. put together.

After traveling through the city for several times, Romano and Escher arrived at the destination of the trip together, an ancient but quite large Holy Cross Church, which stands on the side of the street away from the center of Baghdad, majestic and revealing. It is religiously mysterious, perhaps because of the dim light, and it is also mixed with a bit of unspeakable weirdness.

"Don't go in through the gate, follow me..." Instead of going straight to the gate of the church, but bypassing the mottled walls, Romano walked into the back alley of the church with Escher, and waited with the help of the darkness. The faint light within found the small wooden door embedded in the stone wall. He stood still, raised his hand, and knocked on the door repeatedly.

After a while, a sound of extremely weird footsteps sounded from the other side of the wooden door, and a voice from a middle-aged man said in Arabic: "Sorry, it's too late today, if you want to pray and confess , please come back tomorrow.”

"Excuse me, is this Father Rich?" Romano asked with a slight smile in English with a slight Italian accent, without moving his footsteps due to the eviction order.

In the next second, the lock cylinder turned, and the wooden door was half-opened. A round bald head emerged from the gap. Regardless of the slight shaking of the cross hanging on his neck due to this abrupt bending down, the fat middle-aged man frowned slightly. Frowning, he asked, "Are you brothers and sisters from the Holy Land?"

"That's right, you can call me Brother Romano..." Romano bowed slightly to the vigilant middle-aged man, and said respectfully, "The one standing next to me is also from the Holy Land Sister Escher."

"Hello, Father Rich..." Restraining the immaturity in his expression, showing due stability, Escher folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, nodded slightly and said: "I am Escher from the Holy Land nun."

"Oh! You are finally here!" With a relieved smile on his face, the middle-aged man opened the wooden door, revealing his chubby body supporting the black robe. While pulling Romano's hand, he said enthusiastically: "Come in, my brothers and sisters, I will prepare hot tea for you later."

.......................

Second watch, call it a day.

The Chapter of God has finally started. After re-making the outline based on the materials, I painfully found that the content of this volume may not be short. Although it is not like the Chapter of Fox, it must be the pain of death. The current results of this book, if it were a high-quality author, it would have been cut or unfinished long ago, so I have to bite my teeth and forcefully write it, so it is really a bit immovable.

"Welcome to you, Brother Romano, and Sister Escher. I am truly delighted to see brothers and sisters from the Holy Land on this land..."

"By the way, Brother Romano, your surname...and your English accent...you must be a native Italian, right? To tell you the truth, I have been to Italy for almost 20 years Before, and also a summer, the summer in Naples is beautiful, of course, also includes Rome and the Holy Land..."

Following Father Rich, listening to Father Rich's enthusiastic chatter, Romano, who was walking side by side with Escher, nodded slightly, silently watching Father Rich's back, and had not met Father Rich before. At that time, he always felt that the sound of Father Rich's footsteps sounded a bit strange. It was not until he saw the whole picture of Father Rich that he suddenly realized that Father Rich was a little lame and had to drag one leg when he moved.

"Father Rich, please forgive me..." Perhaps unable to suppress his inner curiosity, when Father Rich talked about Naples 20 years ago, Romano finally couldn't help but speak.

"You want to ask about my left leg?" His footsteps were slightly stagnant, and Father Rich stood still, with a somewhat inexplicable inexplicable tone in his tone.

"If it's an unspeakable secret, then it's fine if you don't say it..." Romano shook his head slightly, and said with a sincere expression: "I'm sorry to offend you."

"No, there's nothing unpleasant, and it's not something hard to hide."

"This..." Romano was at a loss for words as he looked at the alloy bracket that was half exposed and was somewhat incompatible with Father Rich's figure.

"Don't forget, this is Baghdad, my brother..." Standing up straight again, hiding the artificial leg in the black robe, Father Rich said with a light smile: "I have spent almost 20 years here Now, for nearly 20 years, I watched these cathedrals in Baghdad explode one after another..."

As he said that, Father Rich turned around and said with emotion while taking uncoordinated steps: "Although most Iraqis believe in the Crescent Church, there are also many believers who believe in our Lord. For them, I chose this place, and I have to say that when I first came here, I was surprised because the people here were completely different from what I imagined, most of them didn't like me, but they respected me enough to at least not break in , clamoring to stone me to death..."
