Yin Jie's eyes flashed with confusion: "You know."

"Tell me, who was that man just now?" Lu Han looked very anxious. The Puyol family. Could it be that he was the powerful European family involved in the murder group.

Yin Jie hesitated. He looked outside through the crack in the door. There was fear in his eyes, and a hint of solemnity.

"That man is the new generation head of the Puyol family. Marco Puyol. The woman next to him is his goddaughter, Tang Yuan."

"Fuck...fuck my daughter..." Lu Han almost fell to the ground in shock. He was really startled. Horror, shock, and even panic. All kinds of emotions were intertwined. He didn't expect that Tang Yuan would actually be with Pu The Joel family has this connection.

How to do how to do.

Lu Han's body was a little stiff. The fight just now finally made his blood boil. Now it was cooling down rapidly. He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. The clear cold enveloped him. He didn't know what to do. Should he continue to perform the mission? .Should Tang Yuan be killed? He is very confused now.

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Although Yin Jie's voice was as cold as ever, there was a hint of concern in her eyes.

Lu Han nodded absently. There was something hollow in his eyes. He finally came back to his senses. At a glance, he saw Yin Jie's concerned look. He blurted out: "Yin Jie, thank you."

Lu Han suddenly thanked her for no reason. Yin Jie blushed and quickly put her head down. Her eyelashes were trembling and her lips seemed to be moving, but the voice was too soft and could not be heard clearly.

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward. Even weird. It seemed that they couldn't care less about the past. Of course, the most embarrassing thing was Lu Han. He was not invited after all. Now that he appeared here, he felt guilty.

"By the way. Why are you here?" Lu Han quickly changed the subject.

"I'm here for my grandpa. He's not in good health." Yin Jie changed her tone to a more solemn tone and continued: "This time Puyol held this party with some religious intention. It is probably similar to a swearing-in meeting. .But I don’t know what to do specifically. I also came with my friends.”

"That's Li Ruihao. You've seen him." Yin Jie quickly added: "His family has business dealings with our family. They are considered family friends."

Lu Han nodded but said nothing. Through the crack in the door, he saw many people gathered in the hall. It was crowded. Guests who were dancing and drinking outside also came in. In total, there were about two or three hundred people, standing densely packed in the hall. It seemed that It was crowded. Lu Han paid careful attention to everyone's facial expressions and found that they were all extremely excited. Their eyes were shining. The music had stopped long ago. They no longer talked or whispered. Instead, they stared at the front expectantly.

Of course, the person standing at the front was Marco Puyol. Tang Yuan stood beside him. Behind them, there was a statue of Jesus. Lu Han didn't notice it just now. This statue was directly inlaid on the wall. The one on it, undyed, is a scene of Jesus' crucifixion. Jesus was nailed to a huge cross. Two vultures landed on the cross and pecked at his breasts. Jesus looked painful and looked a little gloomy. a feeling of.

To be honest, although Lu Han is not a religious person, he respects religion very much. He believes that everyone has the freedom of their own beliefs. This is normal.

But he doesn't know why. He always feels that this place is eerie and filled with a feeling of terror. It's like a tomb or a crematorium. This may be an exaggeration, but this feeling is really bad. Subconsciously, he even I really want to leave here. I want to kill Tang Yuan quickly. I want to escape from here far away.

However, none of the guests outside seemed to feel this way. Everyone was very indifferent. Even excited. Their eager expressions were very eye-catching. They seemed to be looking forward to something. Everyone was waiting for a moment and looking ahead. Among these people, there are many models, successful businessmen, and even big Hollywood stars. Lu Han has seen their faces in illustrated magazines. They are very familiar, but he can't name them.

"They are waiting for the Pope to appear." Yin Jie suddenly whispered from behind.

"Pope." Lu Han was a little confused when he heard these two words.

Yin Jie is now like a tour guide. She explains bit by bit: "For this religious event, the Pope was invited from the Vatican. He is responsible for hosting the party."

Lu Han still knows something about the Pope. The Pope claims to be the living representative of Christ. He has supreme rights and is the spiritual leader of Catholics. Most of them are knowledgeable and highly prestigious people. They are lifelong. The new Pope The election is a sacred and solemn matter. The requirements for candidates are very strict. They need to go through multi-level, step-by-step formal studies and years of training. Finally, they must obtain a certificate from the Vatican Biblical Institute to become a priest. Later, they must become a priest of the diocese. Cardinals were elected in constituencies all over the world. In the end, one hundred and seventeen archbishops gathered in the Sistine Chapel to participate in the election in isolation. The competition was fierce.

However, there has been a lot of negative news about the church in recent times. I heard that they are getting more and more powerful, and then they participate in politics, and then intervene in the government. Even some underground transactions of gangs, many of which are directly participated by church insiders. What's more, There are rumors that the manufacture of nuclear weapons is inseparable from the Pope's thoughts. Anyway, those religious beliefs in Europe are very chaotic. Many people have lost their lives for this.

Therefore, political leaders in Eastern Europe now do not dare to have too much contact with religious elements. They are afraid that the pope will participate in politics or fanatical religious elements will do something extraordinary. After all, the lessons from the past are too profound.

While I was thinking, the hall suddenly became noisy. Many people in religious service suddenly came out from the small doors on both sides.

These people were wearing long white robes with a huge red shawl around their chests. A total of eight people came in, four on the left and four on the right. They were all white-haired old men. In a hall full of Americans The unique outlines of Europeans made them look a bit abrupt. But this did not have any effect. They moved quickly to fight in a row, with one hand on their chests, pious faces and meticulous expressions.

"The cardinal archbishop of their Vatican church was also invited by Puyol."

Lu Han still knows this. The pope is the supreme leader of the church, and his power even exceeds that of the secular monarch. The bishop is just his subordinate. He is divided into cardinals, archbishops and bishops. These are nobles in the church, but their rights are far greater than Not the Pope. Their relationship is almost that of a secular emperor and ministers.

At the same time, a group of people suddenly appeared on the second floor. This time they were not religious people, but all big men. They were tall and uniformly dressed in black robes. They even wore black hoods on their heads. Only their nostrils and Two eyes. They move very quickly, in unison and neatly. They stand quickly. There is one person every five meters. They have their hands behind their backs. They all have a bulging pistol on their waist. The expression on their face is very cold and their eyes are sharp. There are faint traces of military personnel.

A total of forty big men appeared on the second and third floors, making the already solemn atmosphere even weirder. But all the guests seemed not to care at all. They didn't even look up. They still maintained a high state of excitement. Stare ahead.

The eight cardinals lowered their heads slightly and closed their eyes. There was a serious look on their faces. They chanted something in a low voice. The characters did not look like English or French. They were similar to the singing of a choir. The syllables were weird and obscure. When people hear it, they may even feel a little bit angry for no reason.

A strange scene occurred. When the eight cardinals were singing, half of the people in the audience showed pious expressions, touched their chests with one hand, and lowered their heads to sing along. Although the other half did not sing, they also With a cautious expression and a serious smile, the whole place was shrouded in a religious light. But the strange thing is that Lu Han didn't feel holy or sacred at all. He only felt very eerie and terrifying...

Lu Han looked at Tang Yuan. He was already standing in the front row with Puyol. He also lowered his head piously and muttered something. Not far away, Sun Danni and Xiao Gui stood in the middle of the crowd. They had nothing to do. .I can only pretend to sing along with my head down.

The atmosphere suddenly became terrifying. Lu Han even had an illusion that those strange and ferocious portraits on the ceiling would suddenly come to life and become real living creatures.

He glanced at Yin Jie beside him. She was no longer as indifferent as before. She was staring ahead cautiously. Neither of them moved, and no one spoke. They listened to this particularly harsh hymn together.

The hymn was very short, lasting more than a minute. After singing, eight cardinals put down their hands first. Only those below dared to raise their heads. A bishop standing in the middle suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and muttered something. Then he shouted loudly in French: "#￥#%￥%"

The people in the audience immediately shouted excitedly. The dullness and gloom just now were swept away, almost igniting the atmosphere of the entire hall. They seemed to be crazy. They fell into a sea of ​​joy in an instant... You can't imagine each one of them. Gentlemen and ladies wearing Versace and Chanel brand names are shouting hysterically in front of you. You can't imagine them jumping and jumping. It's like a festival. They don't care about their image at all.

This is utter madness.

Lu Han frowned because he didn't understand French. But the cardinal's words should have invited someone to appear.

When he was wondering, suddenly, a thin figure slowly walked down from the second floor. Behind him, there were two big men in black hoods accompanying him. Step by step, he slowly walked down from the second floor. He was very slow, but very fast. There is momentum. It seems that with every step you take, the atmosphere becomes more serious.

When he actually walked down the stairs and came to the eight cardinals, Lu Han began to take a good look at him.

He should be the Pope. How should I put it... I can only say that he is very ordinary. In terms of momentum, he is not even as majestic as the cardinal behind him. He is about 60 years old. His white hair is close to his scalp. He has a round He wears gold-rimmed glasses. He wears a white robe that reaches his ankles. It has a shawl and buttons. It is very complicated clothes. He also wears a cross necklace around his neck. It has an image of the crucifixion of Jesus engraved on it. He is holding a symbol of power in his hand. The scepter is golden, with unknown patterns engraved on it. It is densely packed, like some kind of totem.

To be honest, this pope gave Lu Han a really average feeling. He had a somewhat gentle temperament. He was not like a pope, but more like a white-haired professor in a university.

He waved to the people below, which immediately attracted hysterical cheers. Their faces were full of fanatical pursuit of religion. Their eyes were full of excitement and excitement. Many people even knelt down on one knee and shed pious tears. .Hide your face and cry.

Lu Han was really shocked by this scene. He didn't understand what was wrong with these people. Religion could have such power. Although most of these people were handsome men and beautiful women, and they were wearing famous brands and dressed up in a glamorous way. But at this moment .But they are very much like primitive people. They are restless and turbulent. They yell without any scruples. They are not like normal people at all.

The Pope who was standing on the stage seemed to be very satisfied with this. He smiled. But this smile seemed a little weird now...

He lifted the scepter and pressed it down slightly. The scene immediately became quiet. Those who were crying were also helped to stand up.

The Pope then showed an enigmatic smile. Then he said: "Brothers and sisters, good night. You all know that I am here to bless you on behalf of God. My cardinal brothers seem to be approaching the end of the world. Go find this one...but we are all here...thank you for the welcome."

This time it was in English. Lu Han could generally understand it, but the difficult meaning and pronunciation still eluded him. He looked at Yin Jie. His eyes were also filled with puzzlement and confusion. It seemed that she was the same as him. There is quite a bit of distrust in this pope.

There were bursts of warm cheers from the audience, but they were much quieter than before. After the silence calmed down, the Pope spoke again: "First of all, I want to pray for us to protect this dirty world. Let us all pray for it together." May God bless the earth. May Our Lady watch over us. Let us... Bishops and the People of God begin this journey. This journey in which the Roman Church leads all churches in charity. This is what we do in fraternity, in love. .and a journey in mutual trust.”

After a pause, he slowly recited a poem. It was very short. Then he said again: "Let us pray again. Pray for the saints who have been favored by God this time. It is them...it is they who bring us peace. and peace. It is they who have rebaptized this world. We thank them. Thank God."

This time he finished speaking without any shouting or yelling. They all bowed their heads and remained silent, chanting the unknown music just now.
