City's Appreciation Eye

Chapter 267 Unexpected Calls
Inside the Sin City Fortress.

The entire garrison of Sin City is independent and affiliated to the Church of Rome, but it has a strong independence, especially in recent years, almost without control and an independent branch.

This is definitely not what the Church of Rome wants to see. If the army guarding the city of sin is independent, a series of problems will inevitably arise.

For example, whether criminals will be released privately, whether the garrison will accept bribes to allow criminals to escape, and whether they will intervene in the internal affairs of Sin City...
The worst result is that this city built on hell without a moral bottom line collapsed, and more than 5 criminals in it disappeared on the European continent since then.

This is definitely not something anyone wants to see, so the Roman Church is trying to control this or it will happen easily.

But with the disappearance of the Pope, everything has become so unpredictable.

Inside the Roman Cathedral.

This vicissitudes-ridden cathedral once bore the scorching eyes of countless believers, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties and regime changes across the European continent, but it is still safe and sound.

The church can only be described as magnificent, great, and unique. The original Roman emperor spent countless money to build this sacred place to communicate with God and the Creator. It was built after four generations of emperors.

The interior of the Holy See is resplendent and magnificent, thanks to the protection of the church today, even though this place has been around for a long time, it is still extremely well preserved.

An old man with a white beard wearing a red robe was sitting on the pew in front of the church. He had a light look on his face. There were three old men with the same dress as him, and behind them stood most of the senior officials of the church. .

The four old people are the four archbishops in red. They are responsible for the spread and promotion of the faith, and they are also antique figures in the church. They are usually scattered all over the world, and they have no chance to get together.

And something must have happened to make them appear here at the same time, and today's purpose is obvious, the pope is missing.

"It's hard to imagine that under the strictest protection in the world, the Pope could actually disappear. I doubt the role of the Pope's Guards, and the loyalty and ability of the angels. Can anyone give me an explanation?"

The oldest and most staid Archbishop Aston spoke slowly, his voice was like a piece of wood soaked in sewage for 100 years, rotten and hoarse enough to irritate the eardrums.

He is 92 years old, but his eyes are still full of majesty and indifference, and no high-ranking church will look at him after scanning the past.

Gabriel stood aside, accepting the accusation calmly, but it was not he who was in charge of the pope's protection, but Lemuel.

On the other side, Lemuel's face was ugly. If something unexpected happened to the Pope, the believers all over the world would drown themselves alive with just one mouthful of saliva!
"Archbishop Aston, I know this is hard to believe, but right here, in front of the statue of Jesus, the Pope was stolen."

Lemuel began to recall the whole incident with an ugly face.

It was a thunderstorm night, and the pope came here alone to meditate, which was a habit he had maintained for decades, and Lemiel, as his personal guardian angel, naturally followed, but the pope didn't like to be around when he meditated.

He said that doing so would interrupt his communication with God. Out of respect for this, Lemuel could only wait at the door, and there was no surveillance in the church.

It's just that Lemuel has maintained an extremely cautious attitude for many years, and he will check it several times before giving up. It has been ten years.

But that day there was a fatal accident.

Lemuel's hearing was extremely sensitive, and when he heard a sound inside, he immediately rolled over and entered. As a result, the pope had disappeared, and a big hole appeared under the place where the pope was originally sitting!
The tunnel extends in all directions and is directly connected to the local city sewer, but there has been very little rainfall recently, and there is no water inside the pipe.

All of this is like a dream, a peerless thief stole his most devout people in front of God.

"Do we have any clues now? The first thing to ensure is the Pope's safety. Do we understand the attitude of the other party?"

Archbishop Goodalls said in a low voice, he is a more rational bishop, he is over seventy years old but still young at heart, he is very concerned and loved by young believers, and he also has a good personal relationship with the Pope.

"It's a pity that we haven't found any clues so far. We don't even know who the robbers are. It's also unclear what their demands are. Oh God..."

Archbishop Mill Lake sighed, he is the least talkative archbishop, but he has made amazing achievements in academic research, and is known as the wisdom God bestowed on the world. Not everyone can receive such praise.

Gabriel was silent, and he glanced at Lemuel sympathetically. Facing such four old antiques, if he had no patience, it would be a painful torture.

"Four archbishops, it is useless to sigh here now. The church must not be without a pope for a long time. We must choose a person to temporarily perform the authority and duties of the pope, and this person is elected from among the four of you."

Gabriel had to remind them that if the Pope's death was confirmed, the Vatican Church would re-elect the people until the new Pope appeared.

This is not an ordinary and trivial matter, but a major matter related to the beliefs of billions of people. If there is a little carelessness, it will be used by the Holy See to create terrorist incidents.

The power and authority of the angel is actually no worse than that of the archbishop in red to some extent. Even if Michael appears, the four archbishops will salute him.

"Gabriel, this is obviously not in line with the regulations. According to the canon, when the pope is unable to perform his duties due to physical reasons, the cardinal can only be allowed to act temporarily."

"But the current situation is not like this. Once the believers know that the Pope is missing, there will definitely be a series of terrorist demonstrations. By then, it will be too late."

Mill Lake often sighed.

This won't work, and that won't work either. Even with Gabriel's super strength and endurance, he is about to get angry at these old guys. It's hard for him to imagine how Remiel has been here in the past few years. It's too difficult.

Just as Lemuel was about to speak, his cell phone rang. After he connected, the other party's first words made his face change drastically.

"Turn on the speakerphone, I know you are in the church and the Pope is in my hand."

Lemuel motioned for everyone to be quiet and turned on the speakerphone.

"He said the Pope was in his hands."

Everyone's face changed suddenly, and they all looked at his mobile phone.
