Chapter 281 My Life Is in the Hands of God
As the morning sun sets on the rooftop of the Star Technology Building, the golden module of the Watcher Lighthouse has been built. When it is suspended in the air, it reflects the dazzling sunlight. Looking from the bottom up, it looks like a concert or the dome of a stadium.
The huge rooftop that can accommodate 2,000 people is already crowded. Officials of the federal system, representatives of famous evolutionary families and some well-known entrepreneurs are sitting on the seats. There are more reporters from major media, and the cameras are constantly flashing lights.
Of course, there are more plainclothes military members.
Today, the then Pope of the Akasha Holy Church visited Linhai and officially held a press conference at the Star Technology Building to open the new Watcher Lighthouse system to the world, fundamentally solving the problem of the continuous unrest of heretics in the past six months.
The news spread throughout the world three days ago, causing an uproar in various countries. The world's top media and representatives of evolutionary families flocked to it. Local flights are basically overbooked. The airport is basically in a state of suspension due to overflowing passenger flow. Hotels are also full. The popularity of the tourist season is not so exaggerated.
After all, the last time the Akasha Holy Church held a press conference, it announced to the world that it would establish a peace strategy based on the five sacred high priests. This move completely balanced the boundaries between the evolvers and ordinary people and ensured the basic order in the new era.
Especially this time, the then Pope Qi Xian of the Akasha Holy Church will personally attend the press conference. You must know that this is one of the few old world sages in the world today. He has already embarked on the road of evolution in the new era and is a well-deserved pioneer of mankind.
At the same time, this pope is also a senior executive of the early Aurora Technology. He must have many unknown secrets. Any secret he digs out is a big news that shocks the world.
However, because the Akasha Holy Church attaches great importance to its own closedness and confidentiality, it has rarely communicated and contacted with the outside world in recent years, and those secrets have never been explored.
Such a good opportunity must not be missed.
At 8:59 in the morning, the pope in a black suit walked to the seat of the press conference accompanied by six cardinals. Since Aurora Technology transformed into the Akasha Holy Church, they rarely appeared in public, except when there was a disaster.
The church rarely preached and expanded, and when it appeared in public, it was in the posture of a savior, so their reputation has been very good for five hundred years. In addition to the selfless dedication of the holy high priest, even if some people don’t like religion, they have to acknowledge their contributions.
The pope in the universal impression will dress himself very decently, often creating an extraordinary temperament. They like to wear a crown and a scepter, wear exquisite necklaces and exaggerated rings, and are always shining with gold no matter when and where.
But Qi Xian is different.
He looks like an inhuman forensic doctor. People who face him always have a very strange illusion, as if they will be dissected as a corpse by him in the next second.
And according to gossip.
The pope five hundred years ago was really a forensic doctor.
"Let's begin."
The Pope sat in the center of the seats, holding his glasses and looking at the crowd in the seats below. His cold eyes did not stay on anyone, as cold and hard as always.
Six cardinals sat down.
The two holy high priests, Suye and Tiansi, also appeared on the scene, sitting on the left and right ends of the seats, and their perfect faces like heavenly beings amazed everyone present.
Finally, two senior members of the Supreme Council, Secretary Zhou and Mr. Peng sat at the front of the audience, with a group of high-ranking officials behind them.
Drones hovered in the air, and reporters held cameras to shoot. The entire press conference will be broadcast live to news media around the world.
The next step is the question-asking session.
"Excuse me, what is the working principle of the Watcher Lighthouse system? What kind of turmoil will this cause to the world? Will the lives of ordinary people be affected?"
"In response to the turmoil of heretics and the revival of the Celestial Civilization, does the Federation have the confidence to solve this catastrophe? After five hundred years of precipitation, humans seem to have the ability to coexist with the White Walkers. The current qualification assessment for practicing the Holy Rhythm is still very strict. In the face of such huge pressure, will the Federation consider relaxing the qualification for practicing the Holy Rhythm?"
"Where did the heretics of the Tower of Babel flee to? There are rumors that the turmoil at the fifth site originated from the Akashic Church. Do you admit this statement? Will the Akashic Church be held responsible for this in the end?"
The reporters' questions were very tricky, like a group of sharks that smelled blood, and they wanted to make a big news, but unfortunately they found the wrong opponent.
The spokesperson of the Akasha Holy Church was very cunning and could easily avoid all the key points, but it left people speechless: "The Watcher Lighthouse System launched by the Akasha Holy Church is a positioning and control program for heretics..."
Just as the cardinal from the Noah Agency was talking, an extremely cold and hard voice suddenly sounded, overwhelming the whole audience.
It was a young reporter, but the voice he made was like that of a white-haired old man: "According to reliable information, the Watcher Lighthouse does not exist to suppress heretics, but is a weapon that the Akasha Holy Church wants to threaten the whole world in order to cover up its own mistakes!"
His voice was cold and resounding: "The Holy Cult of Akasha concealed the facts. You studied the reincarnation of the gods without permission, which led to the internal invasion of the church and indirectly led to the dark matter pollution and human experiments in Linhai City for a hundred years."
Another middle-aged female reporter also stood up, her voice equally cold and vicissitudes of life: "This is also the birth of the creation race, and the tragedies of the seven holy mountain survey operations all originated from this. After the disaster, you didn't think about it. Instead of trying to make up for it, I chose to hide it.”
Someone else stood up: "In order to erase the evidence of the crime, you did not hesitate to use insidious means to eliminate dissidents, erase those who knew the truth, and then let the soldiers on the front line pay for your mistakes with their lives... As for you, you are still here today. Fighting for power! Is the Watcher's Beacon System prepared to target heretics? That's wrong! It can only be used to lock in divine power. What you want to protect is not peace, but your own status."
More and more reporters stood up and said the same thing in unison. The fellow travelers around them were shocked, as if their companions had changed.
There was a commotion at the press conference.
The cameras were pointed at these people.
The shutter clicks wildly.
The flashlight flashed wildly.
The red archbishops took action one after another.
Only the Pope was calm.
The reporters had different looks, but in his eyes they seemed to have the same face. That was his old colleague from five hundred years ago, the person who should have died in the Beginning.
"Yin Hao."
He said softly: "It is indeed you."
The spokesperson of the Akashic Holy Cult was furious. He immediately slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "There is no evidence. Everything is nonsense. These people are obviously controlled by heretics and are deliberately trying to discredit the church. I will catch you." The people behind the scenes, you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd was separated.
Yuan Qing walked out in a suit and skirt, her high heels making a clicking sound on the floor. She raised her charming yet wild face and said in a loud voice: "Is it true that the Akasha Holy Cult does not exclude dissidents? So, may I ask? , where did the Vice-Pope go for such an important meeting? We have documents about the Watcher's Lighthouse in our hands."
Ai Yue was also wearing a black suit. She raised her cold eyes and the document in her hand and said: "After investigation, the deputy pope of Akasha Holy Cult, Yan Minghan, was assassinated and disappeared two days ago. At the same time, he disappeared. There is also an important witness in Aoshan Island Prison, Carl Maria Willigert. Why did the Akashic Church conceal the information? "
The cardinals were stunned.
Secretary Zhou and Mr. Peng sat in the audience silently. Even though most people at the scene were watching the actions of the two old men, they remained silent as if they were watching a show.
The scene was in an uproar, especially the audience in front of the TV. They seemed to smell the coming storm. This was super sensational news that had been rare in hundreds of years.
Faced with the question, the Pope finally spoke: "The Vice-Pope is ill and is recuperating at the moment. As for Karl and others in Aoshan Island Prison, they have been secretly transferred."
He raised his eyes, stared at the two girls in front of him, and said in a very calm tone: "It turns out that you were the ones who invaded the Stellar Technology Building yesterday. This is a serious violation of discipline and defection. You are going to be sent away." Court martial."
The plainclothes soldiers in the audience immediately stood up and surrounded the girls. If they were not afraid of their strength, they might have taken action on the spot.
"Sure enough, the church has seriously eroded the military."
Secretary Zhou said calmly: "Do they still know that they are soldiers? Or do they think of themselves as church clergy in their hearts?"
Peng Xianzhi snorted coldly and said nothing.
The door to the rooftop suddenly opened, and Admiral Su Shi walked in with the special night sequence, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, everyone here. I received an investigation order from the headquarters of the Supreme Federation Supreme Council, and now I want to conduct an investigation on everyone at the scene. Control. We suspect that the Akasha Holy Cult has been eroded by the Celestial Civilization and must conduct a comprehensive investigation immediately."
Accompanied by the whistling wind, the night special forces had passed through the crowd and arrived in all directions of the venue, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.
Next comes the swarming Dawn Special sequence.
The roar of helicopters and Quinjet fighters rang out in the sky.
The military has obviously begun to take control of the scene.
Su Shi took out the confidential document in his hand and said to the audience: "The order issued by the President of the Federation requires the immediate suspension of the Akashic Holy Cult's Watcher Lighthouse Project!"
At this moment, things went wrong.
Such a thing happened in front of the public media all over the world.
This is a joke to others!
The six red archbishops of the Akashic Holy Cult looked at each other. They obviously realized that the development of the matter was beyond their control, and the Human Watch Army had obviously reacted.
Only the Pope was unmoved and said calmly: "Okay, since the president has given the order, just stop it. The Akashic Holy Church accepts all investigations. The original intention of our transformation is to protect the sacred tree and use divine power to maintain it. We have a clear conscience for world peace.”
Too magnanimous.
Such a frank answer seemed to make them seem to have no problem, but in fact, a majestic pressure swept over and permeated the hearts of everyone present.
Su Shi frowned slightly, the wind and snow whistling in his eyes.
But at this moment, Ai Yue and Yuan Qing looked at each other. At this moment, they both felt the vague pressure, but they still mustered up the courage to say: "In this case, please Mr. Pope hand over the Ruins of Time." key and allow Mr. Elder to be investigated together.”
There was a boom.
The girl seemed to feel the power of the earth shattering.
In an instant, their orifices were bleeding.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
The Pope looked at them coldly: "But if this is the case, shouldn't you two first pay the due price for yesterday's invasion?"
At that moment, just when the girls' world was collapsing, a generous figure stood in front of them, and in an instant, the overwhelming pressure disappeared.
Su Shi protected the children behind his back and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Pope, this is a bit too much. If senior officers of the military violate discipline, it will be resolved by the military."
The Pope smoked a cigarette, stood up from his chair, and looked at him condescendingly: "Really? But I remember that according to the extraordinary laws of the Supreme Federation revised sixty-seven years ago, the Akashic Holy Church also has independent autonomy. Watcher The lighthouse is a system used to maintain peace and should not be stopped due to any political factors, especially when life disasters strike.”
Su Shi raised his head and faced him tit for tat, and saw the black card on his chest at a glance. He also knew that the body of the Watcher's Lighthouse was not here, but in the Ruins of Time on the outskirts.
But if you want to enter the Ruins of Time, you must have that black card.
But here comes the problem.
Sushi is only the eighth wisdom realm.
His rank is very high.
But not high enough.
Secretary Zhou and Mr. Peng have high enough ranks, but they are already old and it is difficult for them to show their due strength. But this time their opponents are different.
The Pope of the Akashic Church.
The strength of the Ninth Crown Realm has basically been determined to have the prototype of the kingdom. As long as it takes that step, it can reach the top and be remembered by history.
Without Yuan Rong, no one is his opponent.
"I am the Pope of the Holy Cult of Akasha, and I exist for the order of the world. I hereby guarantee that the Watcher Lighthouse System will bring peace and hope to the world again. If this system leads to disaster and turmoil, then all results are up to me. I will bear it myself.”
The pope's voice echoed throughout the entire venue, like a liger roaring. After five hundred years of dormancy, he finally showed his domineering and toughness that matched his status today.
Even Su Shi was shocked by the pressure, but he still raised his head and said coldly: "I'm sorry, team leader, I still want to give it a try."
The title he used was not Pope.
But the team leader.
Because they were colleagues five hundred years ago.
In a sense, Su Shi was excluded from the church system by the pope in front of him, otherwise he would not have joined the military and became a special general.
I saw Su Shi raising his hand, feeling cold.
It was as if the wind and snow were roaring in, freezing the air.
The moment the frost and snow dispersed, they were suddenly shattered.
Because the six archbishops stood up together and let out a cold snort in unison, a huge sound wave swept across like a tide, shattering the howling frost and snow.
But at this time.
The door on the rooftop was suddenly blasted open.
I saw a shimmering afterimage roaring towards me, passing through the crowd in the auditorium, passing by the military personnel who were unable to react in time, passing through the tense crowd, and escaping from the camera with a speed that subverted cognition. , came to the seat belonging to the Holy Cult of Akasha.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
There was a click.
The necks of the five red archbishops were twisted, and the shocked expressions were still frozen on their faces. The huge sound waves were stuck in their throats, and the strange sounds like dying of breath gradually disappeared.
With a thud, he fell to the ground.
Only the last red archbishop stood there in horror. He was held high in the air, kicking his legs randomly like a rabbit and struggling wildly.
"What you just said is indeed watertight."
Medanzo grabbed this guy's throat, raised his shining fingers, and touched his forehead: "But now, I want you to say it again. Is that really the truth?"
A devilish face.
A devilish voice.
Like a demonic fear.
The cardinal was so frightened that he peed his pants.
Of course, it's not shameful to wet your pants in front of Metanzo.
At the press conference, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. Only the Pope remained calm and even lit a cigarette for himself: "I knew you would come. Your style of doing things is still the same as before. Like a rebellious child.”
"Hey, long time no see."
Medanzo still grabbed the red archbishop's neck, turned his head slowly, and showed a weird and crazy smile: "Teacher."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang!
The two holy high priests Suye and Tiansi stood up, and saw their hands suddenly clasped together, and a huge beam of light fell from the sky, drowning the body of the white-haired young man.
The endless holy light falls like a waterfall.
The sound washed over Metanzo's body.
It seemed as if he was going to be burned up in the holy light.
Metanzo's body could no longer be seen in the endless light, but his mysterious and deep eyes were still bright, with a hint of sarcastic smile.
"Didn't you notice that there is one less person today?"
Yes.
The Akasha Holy Church is missing one person today.
Originally, there should be three holy high priests.
But from beginning to end, there were only two holy high priests, Suye and Tiansi.
Where did High Priest Lianhua go?
Along with this question, a cold female voice sounded in the terrifying roar, echoing in everyone's ears: "My life is in the hands of God..."
