Chapter 560 Dungeon Interrogation
The blond nun continued to describe the situation.
"After this incident, Lord Odis has voluntarily given up the idea of running for the Pope, and if Lord Charente does not come out, Lord Benes is very likely to be the next Pope." The nun said so .
"That's why Mrs. Benes has been very busy recently. The archbishops of various branches visit her almost every day to ask her opinions and views."
"Is that so..." Roland Hill nodded, and this time he had achieved his goal as expected.
"And what about Sibes?" she asked instead.
"Sir Sibes is still being held in the Judgment Division, awaiting a ruling after the new Pope ascends the throne."
——————
Adjudication Division resident, underground.
Pass through the dense and densely guarded, long and layered tunnels, open the solid and thick doors, and enter the dark and cold cell.
Two torches were inserted on the wall, burning quietly. In the shadow of the flickering firelight, a fat and tall figure faintly appeared in the shadow.
There was a crisp sliding sound of iron bolts from the corridor on the side, and you could hear the sound of armor and leather touching, and a steady footstep walked in slowly.
He stayed in front of the cell door, standing still.
Afterwards, a black-robed guard came and helped him open the cell door and let the man walk in.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the fat man in the shadow raised his head, glanced at it, and then lowered his head absentmindedly.
An iron chair was brought in, and the man sat in front of the prisoner.
"We have one more thing to ask you." His voice was like a cold rock on a cliff.
"Do you know those who practice strange secrets, pray for chaos to come into the world, and turn their backs on this world."
"Heh—" the prisoner spit out a voice disdainfully.
"Don't put all charges on me, you rats in the gutter."
"I just want to live a comfortable life, and I won't do this kind of shit."
"But many of the 'backlighters' who were arrested are connected to your faction, including the top leaders of the church."
"What does that mean? Can I say they all drink water, and other people who drink water have problems."
"I'm just helping each other with everyone, and I'm not a worm in their stomach. How can I know everyone's true thoughts. As long as you are good and I am good in the end."
"Too much entanglement and inquiring into other people's privacy will only bring misfortune, and many things are not as clear as possible."
"Really." The man was not surprised, as if he knew the person in front of him very well.
There was a brief silence in the cell, and the only sound that could be heard around was the whirring of the torches on the wall.
"I didn't expect that after many years, we would be in the same room in this way." The man ended his previous inquiry and seemed to lament the change of time.
After hearing this sigh, the prisoner did not raise his head, but took a heavy breath, not feeling a little cold.
"Please let me call you that again—Sebes-senpai."
After this brief statement, the cell fell into a rare silence.
"You used to be my role model. I still remember that when I first came to the headquarters of the church, I was afraid of life and had low self-esteem because of my poverty. At that time, you took me up the long stairs on the mountain, and I was exhausted and walked a long way. long way."
"Tell me which palace restaurant is cheap enough to eat. Teach me where to fetch water, do laundry, and how to fold a quilt."
"In my eyes at that time, you were so tall and trustworthy. The notebook you gave me was the first gift I received in my life."
"I wrote a lot of what you told me back then, and I can still remember a few words today."
"Birth doesn't mean anything, what matters is a positive attitude."
"If you work hard and persevere, you can enjoy the sunset without any guilt when the sun goes down."
The man sitting on the iron chair took a trembling breath, and then turned into a long, silent sigh.
"If Xia has already fallen tonight, can you still feel no guilt?"
After hearing this question, the figure tied with the iron rope let out a penetrating laugh.
"Hahaha--, Keus, you understand very well, and you still use this to stimulate me."
"Ask me if I'm ashamed, then let me tell you, I'm not guilty at all."
"Everything I have gained today, power, wealth, and strength, I have earned it by myself."
"Yes, I used some means. But so what? There are never rules and restrictions in this world. What can't be done?"
"All the rules and dogmas are just imposed by later generations, just to make excuses for your cowardice and incompetence. You are the same as me if you have the ability, and no one stops you."
"The reason why you can stand here and ridicule me in all kinds of ways is just because we won, and I failed. Stop talking about these hypocritical truths. I was stupid back then, and I believed in some dedication and hard work."
"The world will never reward you for dedication and diligence. Everything has to be fought, robbed, and sought. What does the life and death of others have to do with me!"
"I just want to live comfortably and enjoy myself. People are dying every day in this world. Do I have to care about them one by one? Is there any benefit for me to care about them?"
Cruz looked at the hysterical
The man roaring inside, waiting for him to vent the nonsense in his heart.
clap clap-
With two palms clapping unhappily, Keus slowly stood up and walked to Sibis.
"Have you finished, is this what you really think now?"
"It's as humble as an ant."
"It seems that I have lost sight of it. I didn't expect Senior Sibis's eyes to be so narrow."
"If you have never been in power, no one will accuse you of thinking like this. But I'm afraid you can't stand a life of poverty and hardship."
"I want to be respected by everyone, receive various benefits, and occupy various interests, but I don't want to make corresponding contributions myself."
"Relying on the big tree of the church to absorb its sap and become a fat moth, is this your wish? That's really worthy of admiration. I admire how you dare to admit it so confidently."
"I'm so disappointed, Senior Sibis."
"Even those heretics who turn their backs on the gods and angels look a little more lovable than you. At least they are willing to devote themselves to their ideals."
"Now I also believe that you really have nothing to do with those 'backlighters'. After all, a person like you who is greedy for life and fear of death would not have the courage to do such a thing."
Keus' words were like a hard and sharp sword, piercing into Sibes' heart, tearing down his broken dignity.
"No, it's not like that. I just want to live better..." There was a sob in his voice.
"Don't contaminate this simple sentence, Sir Sibis." Keus picked up the iron chair and turned away.
"People who really want to live better will use their own hands to grow full fruits. Instead of grabbing food from other people's baskets like you do."
