Before he could figure out the answer to the question, the Jormungandr train had already arrived at the Vatican Hospital in Rome.

 What to say?

 At this moment, there are already quite a few members of the Vatican patrolling and stationed here.

 For someone who doesn't care, this is quite normal, since nuns and knights have been responsible for guarding the Pope ever since he moved in.

 However, even though Cong Yu knew in advance that the Pope was in trouble, she could see that the guards here were much denser.

 Therefore, it seems that the Pope has indeed run into trouble.

 Thinking this, Cong Yu greeted the nun at the door: "I came to see the Pope. I heard something happened. How is he doing?"

 Now, most people already know Cong Yu, so there's no need to worry about being questioned with "Who are you?!"

 In response to Cong Yu's words, the nun nodded and replied, "Please follow me... The situation is rather complicated."

 complex?

 Although she didn't quite understand, Cong Yu followed the nun into the hospital, which appeared to be heavily guarded.

 "We're here. This is the room of His Holiness the Pope."

 When the two arrived at the floor where the Pope's hospital room was located, the nun had finished leading the way and, with a complicated expression, she went downstairs.

 For some reason, the people present seemed to have rather complicated expressions and looks, and quite a few were even trying not to laugh.

 Although I don't really understand it, I always feel that the atmosphere here isn't very serious.

 Just as Cong Yu was about to see what had happened, she saw several medical staff pushing a hospital bed.

 Cong Yu: "!!!"

 Cong Yu stared in astonishment at the man on the hospital bed... because lying on it was the Pope, who died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

 Cong Yu was not mistaken. Although the corpse's face was ashen and its forehead was dark, there was no doubt that this was the Pope.

 Similar?!

 He looks like the Pope!

 Why is no one reacting? Is this some kind of prank? Or has something strange happened?

 Cong Yu didn't have paranoia, but faced with this situation, he couldn't help but wonder if Moirai was up to something.

 Has it come up with some strange new way to influence the world, like fixing the "possibility" of the "pope's death"?

 (Source Darkness Apophis: ???)

 "Hey……"

 Before Cong Yu could speak, a familiar voice came from the direction of the corridor behind the hospital bed: "Slow down, one of the casters on this hospital bed is broken, be careful it doesn't tip over... The nuns said they're going to hold a funeral."

 The doctor's voice.

 So even though the doctors arrived, the Pope couldn't save him?

 As Cong Yu was thinking this, he met the gaze of the doctor who was walking and directing at a leisurely pace... His eyes were filled with doubt and complexity.

 "Ah... Cong Yu, you've arrived."

 As the doctor spoke, she could see the turmoil in Cong Yu's mind. She smiled and pointed to the ward next to her: "Come on, let's go in and take a look."

 The doctor's smile was clearly malicious.

 It feels like they're going to prank you.

 He is the same.

 The ward she pointed to was the same ward the nun who had led the way had mentioned, the ward where the Pope was located…

 But Cong Yu did see with her own eyes the Pope's body being carefully secured to the hospital bed and pushed from one end of the corridor into the elevator.

 "what is going on?"

 Cong Yu sighed, a hint of complaint in his voice, as he pushed open the door and let in the door, pondering how long Dente could last after the Pope's death.

 Then, Cong Yu pushed open the door to enter the luxury ward, and the first thing she saw was a dense array of instruments and equipment.

 Then came Dente and Brad, who stayed by the bedside, along with several nuns and bishops surrounding them.

 And lying in the hospital bed was, naturally, the teacher...

 Hmm? It's a girl Cong Yu doesn't recognize.

 "..." Who is this?!

 Cong Yu's face twisted in pain as he sensed that something was clearly wrong with the situation today... and the sound of him opening the door also drew everyone's attention.

 "I don't actually know what my parents look like, but..."

 Dente, who seemed quite at ease chatting with Brad, heard the door open and turned to look at Cong Yu: "Hey, you're here?"

 Dente said, waving to Cong Yu, "Come here, come here. Grandpa said she's not going to be the Pope anymore, and he wants me to prepare to succeed her."

 Upon hearing this, Cong Yu immediately looked at the girl on the hospital bed, whose face was ashen, and the two stared at each other in shock.

 The girl, who was clearly petite, had a rather ashen face, as if the world had collapsed.

 Emerald green eyes, platinum blonde hair.

 It does look somewhat familiar...

 “Lei dice (she said)? Lei (she)?!”

 Cong Yu repeated Dente's Italian words... and couldn't help but realize why today's events were so difficult to bear.

 At this point, Cong Yu understood why the atmosphere outside the ward was a mix of seriousness and cheerfulness, and seriousness masking suppressed laughter.

 "Yee... hahaha... sorry, sorry."

 Cong Yu opened her mouth, intending to ask the "girl" on the hospital bed, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

 "Hahaha……"

 Cong Yu, who had been grinning, realized that it was really impolite. So, under the deadpan gaze of the "girl" on the hospital bed, she tried her best to suppress her laughter.

 "puff!"

 Failed!

 "Hahaha... Don't make that face, it's even funnier, hahaha... This is too hilarious."

 Cong Yu complained, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

 It wasn't until a cardinal chuckled that the "girl" on the hospital bed looked over seriously and stopped him.

 Cong Yucai finally recovered, coughed twice, let out a long breath, and asked, "Phew...Are you Joseph?"

 Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the girl on the hospital bed sighed, her tone sounding familiar: "Yes, but that name can't be used anymore... The eccentric doctor said that I should try my best to break away from my past characteristics."

 The tone of voice was the same as before, and the intonation was no different, but precisely because of this...

 After her voice changed to a girlish tone, it became even harder to maintain the composure.

 Cong Yu's lips twisted for a moment, but thankfully she didn't laugh out loud: "I've heard of your symptoms."

 In response, the doctor who had walked in while Cong Yu was laughing nodded: "The poison of the 'Feet Bones' is the same as that of the Rabbit Man."

 "The solution is to directly resist with powerful magic; if that fails, the only option is to change bodies."

 "If we consider a body that the poisoned individual perceives as 'not themselves'... gender is the most direct factor."

 "The same principle applies to avoiding things like old names, old positions, and old nicknames."

 "..." Cong Yu paused for a moment, then looked at the former pope on the hospital bed: "So, what new name have you given yourself?"

 With a grim expression, she sighed and said, "I'm not well yet, perhaps... Juse von Vanmillion... or something like that?"

 "..."

 "Hahaha……"

 "Can you stop laughing? If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to have been killed by you back then..."

 "Hahaha!!!"

 Chapter 748 It Turns Out to Be a Spider

 Is the poison of the tassel used for feminization...?

 Of course not. This thing is used to kill. It's hard to say what will happen in the next hundred years, but looking at the past hundred years...

 This is an incurable poison.

 It attaches itself to the soul, nourishes a person's self-perception, and rapidly erodes the body.

 As long as the soul remains in "its" body, no matter how many bodies it changes into, it will only decay and turn to ash in two or three days.

 When Cong Yu was on the run with the Saint King, he tried to use poison to kill the pursuing Papal knights.

 Unfortunately, because Cong Yu had miscalculated the amount of magic power in the opponent's body, the dosage was completely insufficient to kill the opponent.

 After realizing that they have been poisoned, they can use magic to quickly heal their body, and the speed of healing is completely offset by the "damage".

 It can even directly expel or eliminate the poison.

 But the poison of the tarsal bone is different... It grows stronger over time as it is devoured by the "bait".

 As long as the middle

 Once poisoned, even a body transplant won't help.

 Even doctors can only use unorthodox methods to "stop the attack" instead of a complete detoxification.

 This shows how powerful this thing is.

 But the problem is...

 "The Fourth Group used... I can understand that when they had a conflict with us in Japan before."

 The doctor said this, watching the surveillance video in front of him with Cong Yu: "But..."

 "I heard that after the Fourth Group arrived in the Vatican, it seems that there haven't been any conflicts with the Holy See..."

 "The poison of the tarsal bone is, in theory, a rather precious product. Why would you use something so precious to attack the Pope?"

 Dente cleverly offered his opinion: "Exactly! Grandpa doesn't deserve something so expensive... If it were sold for money, how much could this kind of poison fetch!"

 Cong Yu: "..."

 doctor:"……"

 Comedians, shut up!

 Cong Yu completely ignored Dente's statement and said, "As far as the Pope is concerned, of course he is worthy..."

 Although he himself doesn't want to be "worthy" of it.

 "Our confusion stems from the question of 'why,' not from the 'preciousness,' because, logically speaking, they have no grudge against each other."

 As Cong Yu spoke, watching the video footage of the period when the Pope was attacked, he continued, "They attacked him without any grudge or enmity... Surely they weren't some old thing living in the distant past?"

 Cong Yu was referring to the era after the "fall of the Vatican," which transformed into the "New Vatican" and the "Battle to reclaim the Holy Land"... At that time, the enmity between the eccentric and the Papacy was still very strong.

 “If someone hasn’t been able to move on from past hatred, then that’s understandable… Oh, I’ve found it.”

 As Cong Yu spoke, she pointed to a certain spot on the surveillance screen... A dark shadow flashed across the screen.

 It looks like a bird.

 Dente was curious and asked, "What is that? A small creature carrying a virus?"

 The doctor could also tell what it was, saying, "A bat flew eastward toward the hospital window, which is indeed Joseph Van Million's ward... It seems the vampire is quite a suspect."

 Yes, it's not impossible for non-vampires to transform into other creatures. However, the difficulty of such a technique is unimaginably high.

 If they are remnants of the fanatics, then it can be explained by the enmity between the other side and the Vatican.

 Why is there an open window in Jueshe's hospital room?

 Cong Yu asked this question, and then, seeing the "you changed your mind pretty quickly" expressions on the doctor's and Dente's faces, she realized something.

 It's not a matter of changing one's tune or not.

 Rather, it's perfectly reasonable for the patient's room to have a window open... after all, no one could have predicted this would happen.

 "Who knows that the Pope is hospitalized here? The news should have been kept under wraps."
