Chapter 1911 The Pope Visits in Person
Soon, more than half an hour has passed.
After a loud bang, the secret passage finally fell silent, and there was no more sound.
Jason and the others who were staying in the confession cell all let out a sigh of relief, and everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little bit.
However, they soon became tense again, looking worriedly at the entrance of the secret passage at the bottom of the pit.
When all kinds of abnormal noises were constantly coming from the depths of the secret passage, they were very nervous. Now that the abnormal noises have all disappeared and the secret passage has completely quieted down, they are even more nervous.
In just a moment, someone couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to pick up the walkie-talkie to ask about the situation deep in the secret passage, to see if Ye Tian was still alive.
At this moment, Ye Tian's voice suddenly came out from the walkie-talkie, and he sounded a little excited.
"Guys, I have successfully passed through the secret passage and entered the secret room behind the stone door. I have not suffered any harm, so you can rest assured.
I have triggered all the traps in the secret passage, and the crossbow arrows and javelins that the Knights Templar placed in those traps are almost exhausted.
However, there are many insidious flap traps in this secret passage, which are very deadly, so everyone cannot enter the secret passage for the time being, please wait patiently for a while! "
"call"
Everyone in the confession cell breathed a sigh of relief, and they were finally relieved, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces.
"Wow! Steven, what happened to that rumbling sound just now? It sounded like thunder. After the sound disappeared, you didn't make a sound. We were all so scared."
David picked up the walkie-talkie and said, both emotional and curious.
Everyone else in the confession cell was the same, full of curiosity, and wanted to know what happened in the depths of the secret passage, what Ye Tian found, and whether the treasure of the Knights Templar was hidden here?
"That rumbling sound just now? It was the sound of rolling stones. It was a vicious trap behind that stone gate. Each rolling stone was big and heavy enough to crush an adult into a meat paste.
Fortunately, I found it in time, avoided the rolling stone trap, and was safe and sound. When you enter this secret passage later, you will definitely be frightened when you see those huge rolling stones.
After dodging those giant rolling stones,
The reason why I didn't make a sound was because I was so stunned by everything in this underground palace that I lost the ability to speak! "
Ye Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie again, his tone full of surprise.
Before the words fell, the Bishop of Kent couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, hurry up and tell everyone, what exactly did you find? Is the treasure hidden in that underground palace the Knights Templar's treasure? Are there any long-lost Christian relics in it?"
Following the bishop of Kent's words, everyone in the confessional cell suddenly became tense, looking expectantly at the entrance to the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, and at the walkie-talkie at hand.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie and reached everyone's ears.
"Don't be impatient, Bishop of Kent, when I return to the confession cell, you will know what I found in this underground palace, and now I still need to keep it secret, and that will be good for you and me.
However, I think you can call the Vatican and have the security personnel responsible for the support go immediately, come to London, and even let His Majesty the Pope come to London to sit in person, I don’t think it is too much.
Everyone had better be mentally prepared, the next day, or even a few days, will be very long, and none of us can leave until this treasure is cleaned up."
Although Ye Tian kept his mouth shut and did not say clearly what was hidden in the palace deep underground, his words still detonated the entire confession cell.
"Wow! What kind of treasure is it? Not only did the Vatican security personnel in charge of support have to be dispatched, but His Majesty the Pope had to come to London to sit in charge in person. It's simply too exaggerated!"
"Needless to say, what is hidden in that palace deep underground must be the treasure of the Knights Templar, which must include some legendary Christian holy objects"
Everyone was discussing excitedly, and everyone had bright smiles and ecstatic joy on their faces.
The Bishop of Kent was stunned for a moment, and then said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Okay, Steven, I'll contact the Vatican immediately and ask the diplomats and security personnel in charge of support to leave immediately and rush to London. As for whether the Pope can come, he needs to make his own decision."
"This is the best way. The sooner the Vatican's troops arrive, the better. In addition, what I said just now must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked, let alone those British people outside.
The Brits are no better than the Cypriots. If the Brits get the news and insist on breaking in here, with our current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop those guys. In that case, we will be in big trouble."
"No problem, we will never divulge the information, even when contacting the Vatican, I will keep it confidential and will not divulge the information easily.
steven, when are you coming up? I can't wait to know what you found, I believe everyone here is the same"
"When will I come up? It's hard to say now. Next, I will thoroughly investigate this underground palace to eliminate hidden dangers, and find a secret passage leading to the Thames River. It will probably take a lot of time."
"Alright then, be careful, we'll wait for your triumphant return"
After speaking, the Bishop of Kent took out his mobile phone, walked out of the confessional cell, and went to the basement next to him to call the Vatican and the Pope himself.
As soon as he left, Ye Tian's voice came from the wireless invisible earphones to Jason's ears, and he was the only one who heard it.
"Jason, it's time to start those backhands we prepared, let those guys who sneaked into London set off, find a way to get closer here, and be ready to support us at any time.
The ships parked on the Thames can also be dispatched. If necessary, I will sneak away from the Thames with the most important treasure, and get rid of those British guys.
Another point, you immediately contact the old guy Wilson from Raytheon Security Company and ask all the armed security personnel of the Raytheon UK branch to gather and stand by.
If possible, let those guys start to gather around the temple church now, ready to support us at any time, or cover us to evacuate from here as soon as possible"
Hearing his words, Jason's face immediately flashed with ecstasy.
But he didn't respond aloud. Instead, he tapped the wireless invisible earphones in his ears with his fingers, which was regarded as a response.
Immediately afterwards, the kid also took out his mobile phone, quickly walked out of the confession cell, and started to communicate with the outside world.
As he and the Bishop of Kent continued to make phone calls, a huge storm that shook the British Isles and even the entire Western world was rapidly brewing and would soon sweep the entire Western world.
The intercom fell silent, as did the confessional cell, but the world outside was already turbulent.
Thousands of kilometers away in the Vatican, the Pope, who had just finished talking to the Bishop of Kent, hung up the phone and immediately called several of his confidantes into the office to discuss countermeasures.
Ten minutes later, a huge convoy left the Vatican and sped towards the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport on the outskirts of Rome.
In the rear seat of a bulletproof car in the center of the convoy, sat the Pope himself, with a flushed face, an excited look, and anticipation in his eyes.
In the rest of the vehicles, there were many senior priests and diplomats from the Vatican, as well as fifty or sixty heavily armed Swiss Guard members.
In downtown London, more than a dozen armed security personnel who sneaked into London before are gathering around the Temple Church in various ways, on foot or by different means of transportation.
On the Thames, two ordinary cruise ships were slowly approaching from different directions upstream and downstream, aiming at the section of the river closest to the Temple Church.
Without exception, all these people and ships are under Ye Tian's orders, and they are all backups he prepared in advance, just in case.
At the same time, all the security personnel of Raytheon's British branch moved into action, all armed, and set off in cars one after another, heading straight for central London.
Meanwhile, Prince William, the other Britons, and several high-ranking officers of Scotland Yard who were in the Temple Church were at a loss, still watching eagerly at the entrance to the basement.
"What did that magical guy Steven discover? Why hasn't it come out yet, and no news has come out?"
"Who knows! But no matter what he finds, the treasure of the Knights Templar or other treasures, don't try to hide it from our eyes. There are two exits from the basement, and they are all within our field of vision."
While these Brits were talking, Jason and David, who were in the confession cell, were all staring at the entrance of the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, waiting for Ye Tian's figure to appear again.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty minutes passed.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, suddenly, the sound of puffing puffing footsteps came from the depths of the secret passage again, which sounded extremely pleasant.
The moment he heard the footsteps, cheers erupted in the confession cell.
"Great, Steven is coming out!"
"Wow! Finally, I don't have to suffer any more. It's such a bad feeling."
Before the cheers fell, Ye Tian's figure had appeared at the bottom of the secret passage, and the light from the headlamp he was wearing also projected from the bottom of the secret passage, shining on the ceiling of the confession cell.
