In the corner of the church hall, which was in a mess due to the bombing, an inconspicuous small steel door leading to the morgue was opened by the clergyman called by Durk.
"Da da da"
The sound of several people's leather heels clicking on the steps echoed in this cramped space.
The two regional leaders from one diocese and one from the military kept looking at each other in confusion because of Fan Ning's question just now.
Of course, it was Colonel Alpha who had the sweat on his forehead.
Why was Admiral Lannut also put on the list?
If your boss is questioned by name by a larger boss, and it seems that there is "some problem", but he is not present, and he is not directly subordinate, then you who are present know better, but not so clearly, then what should you say?
What? What does it mean?
There are too many factors, and it may be a problem in any workplace situation.
Colonel Alpha coughed twice in embarrassment, and replied respectfully and correctly in principle: "Your Excellency Bishop Lavoisier, we are all the lambs of the Lord. Everyone is guilty and has different commandments. Lannut, sir.
The general must have admitted it, but once the war started on the front line, he didn't talk about his schedule, nor his itinerary. I guess he was too busy, so he didn't come to you for confession for the time being."
"Don't doubt, always believe."
Fan Ning's tone is always gentle and thoughtful.
"Why are you worried and why do you have doubts in your hearts? If a person has no doubts in his heart and only believes that what the Lord has said will come to pass, it will be done for Him. You came over quietly to report the news, saying, "Peace, peace."
In fact, there is no peace. Because Nalannuot neither came to confess nor pray sincerely. This is what He knew while sitting in the house. It is what the saints can see clearly when standing on the giant wheel. It is also what I carry and keep vigil with.
What can be seen by the light of man’s lamp.”
His last sentence was not "deceptive". After a series of explorations, he discovered that among the many mysterious properties of this ritual vessel, there was indeed one that could be used to create something similar to "the secret of lighting" while dreaming.
Using the "fuzzy search" method, we can observe the images of believers praying or praying with a specific content.
In the dream, the images of Admiral Lannut's revelations were blurry and flickering, and the prayers sounded unclear and intermittent, indicating that this man's faith had been shaken. This was consistent with what Fan Ning had learned in the early investigation.
The clues of human smuggling and collusion with covert organizations are consistent.
Did Bishop Lavoisier even know that Lannut didn't pray properly? As the steps gradually went down, the air became colder inch by inch, but the sweat on the back of Colonel Alpha's vest became more and more.
He himself has never done anything untoward, but he has been in the army for so many years, and his temper has been smoothed out. He has heard and seen many things, and pretending not to know is normal.
But this time, facing Bishop Lavoisier's questioning, he suddenly realized that he was concealing an unjust thing in front of God, and found an explanation for the guilty person, and he suddenly became frightened and regretful in his heart.
.
Even a person like Brigadier General Boles, who has committed crimes, is alert. He has never participated in those things, so what should he worry about?
"I have vaguely heard that Admiral Lannut and his friends have a 'party circle'." Alpha spat out, "Including the smuggling chaos you are investigating, in addition to having fun, part of their purpose is also for this 'party circle'
To provide funds for operation, they regularly plan trips to the abnormal area, which requires vehicles, food and drink, and various supplies."
"That's what the Divine Advent Society is doing." Durk said, "What happened to these people who went there?"
"Of course, he will basically never come back, or he will be a miserable lunatic when he comes back." Alpha shook his head and said, "The last place I served was the border guard guarding the abnormal area. This time I was transferred from there to the frontal battlefield.
Those heretical generals who prefer to infiltrate our military may have taken a fancy to our 'position advantage' so that they can easily bring people in."
"I don't know any more details. The masters arrested a lot of people this time and should be able to find out some more things. But I heard something before -"
"They call the aberration area 'the Kingdom of Heaven'."
Heaven? Among the winding and deep steps, Fan Ning frowned and thought about this name.
It's a bit unexpected and weird, but if you think about it carefully, it may be normal.
Based on the logic of secret organizations, if they need to instigate people to do something, then it is reasonable to beautify it with an attractive term.
"You hold an important position in the ranks of soldiers, and you must have a lot of communication rosters," he said.
"Yes, yes, this is natural." Alpha said repeatedly.
"Now you shall say to them, and make it known widely, 'Thus says the Lord: When a man falls, he never rises again; when he turns, he never comes back again. Why do you, the people of Janus, always keep their backs?
As for the Tao. Some people repent of their evil deeds, while others persist in being deceitful and refuse to look back. You see, the masters are taking careful notes."
Fan Ning pointed to a few other people. The clergy who were called to open the door were writing down the maxims he said in their books. The one-armed old priest Duerke was also listening attentively to the teachings.
"But if someone like Lannut turns a deaf ear to you, you should speak calmly. If it is your marshal and your king considers it as being negligent, you should also speak calmly."
"How long shall these Lambs despise me? How long shall they not believe me, when I have sanctified the Lord among them? If they listen to my voice today, let them not harden their hearts as those who provoke him to anger.
The days are the same. When I go to Apail to punish them, they will surely fall. There is a way for them to be saved, but they will gradually destroy themselves. Isn't this wisdom?"
Widely advertising?
To what extent is it widely advertised?
Colonel Alpha's whole body tensed up after hearing this. After gritting his teeth and expressing his stance, his stiff body finally began to relax slowly:
"Yes, the bishop's teachings are true. When I get back, I will send out military telegrams, in groups, to all superiors and subordinates, and across levels. Those below the general level are asked to go to the parish churches to repent as soon as possible. The senior generals feel that they have
If there is a problem, I will come to you for confession as soon as possible.”
If you really do this, you may become "famous overnight" in the military system.
But behind Bishop Lavoisier is the Pope and the Saint! It is the Inquisition of the entire church!
Yes, don't doubt, always believe.
Janus's soldiers are the blades of the sun.
If you abandon the rhetoric of "unfallen fire", you will not be saved even if you die in battle!
Fan Ning made a pleased expression, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed forward like a prophet prophesying:
"Behold, some are already coming hastily to their own destruction; all this must be fulfilled."
As the steps descended to a zigzag low point, the cast iron door of the morgue appeared on the wall, and the candles on both sides illuminated its heavy and thick texture.
The cleric behind him stepped forward, intending to unlock the door with a key larger than a palm, but the door twisted open on its own.
The space inside uses electric lights. Although it is dim and cold light, the lighting angle is still wider than outside.
A man with a pistol on his waist and a briefcase, also wearing an officer's uniform, subconsciously took a step back, and the two soldiers behind him also took a step.
Fan Ning was not very familiar with the military rank on his shoulders, but he seemed to be lower than Alpha, and judging from the man's expression, he was afraid that his brain had "shut down" because he suddenly bumped into more than five or six people on the other side of the door.
.
"Lieutenant Andrew." Colonel Alpha broke the silence ten seconds later, "Why are you here? I don't know what your plans are for today."
"Daily equipment inspection, sir." After someone asked, the officer named Andrew answered calmly, "There has been a big flow this week. A batch of coffins were sent to the counties in the interior. The ones cremated on the battlefield were
A new batch has also been sorted out.”
"I have red-headed procedures from the higher-level military region." As he continued to explain, his words became more relaxed and confident, "Maybe there is not enough time, maybe the matter is not very important, so you may not know yet.
But, hey, it’s also necessary work. Disinfection work logs, equipment maintenance records, ventilation facility records, body counts, and many other things require continuous attention.”
Lieutenant Andrew signaled the person next to him to turn on his flashlight and illuminated the procedures in his briefcase, including a pair of gold tokens engraved with seal marks.
The eyes of Priest Durk and Colonel Alpha became strange.
Because this seal happens to belong to Admiral Lannut.
