One Thousand Three Hundred and Four: Accountability, Confession
"It's not that you can't help me."
Yan Wan turned around, stared at the key in his hand, and said in a very calm tone: "Matthew, the demon warlocks have gathered together, and they are preparing to establish a new force to resist the Holy See.
I'm worried that there is a shadow of the devil in it. The current Holy See seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is in danger. If there is even the slightest carelessness, it will lead to catastrophe.
You should also know that with the key to the gate of hell, you can sense the power of the devil. It's just that there is no energy now. I hope that after the key accumulates energy, you can use the key to find the hidden devil in the warlock. "
Matthew understood and looked at him firmly: "I will go over and integrate into their group. No matter what, I will also rescue you. I will definitely..."
Mission: Subversion of theocracy (2) (Completed)
It was an idle move, but it came in handy at a critical moment.
Are demons really lurking in the Holy See?
It doesn't matter, as long as you think about it, then...absolutely.
It’s okay to not have it…to make something out of nothing.

Mission: Subversion of theocracy (3)
Demons and warlocks are of the same family, so what's the difference?
Aren’t they all monsters? A family should be neat and tidy.

the next day.
When the Holy See troops arrived, Matthew's home was already empty.
According to City of Hope guards, Matthew took Yan Wan's badge and disappeared out of the city at night.
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Yan Wan.
In response to the overwhelming questions, he only replied: "I am not God, I am just a human being. Matthew is my friend and has always been."
Afterwards, the pope and the bishops discussed and finally decided to imprison Yan Wang in a dungeon for the rest of his life in view of his many meritorious deeds.
In this regard, Yan Wan did not resist.
Facing the heavily armed members of the Knights who came to arrest him, he just smiled and said: "Everything has a price. This is the price I pay. I will not escape because this is the behavior of a coward."
…
Yan Huan glanced at the window, lit a cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke: "If I remember correctly, the dungeon should be in the city, not outside the city."
"My lord, the Pope does not want you to waste the rest of your life."
Sitting opposite him, the gentle man smiled and said gently: "So I will take you to an isolated place. Although it is considered a punishment, it is still much better than a dark dungeon."
Yan Wan smiled in agreement and asked slowly: "That's right. I'm curious as to where the place you mentioned is."
"Maybe you've heard of it too." The man pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "...Paradise Island."
Yan Wang smiled, his pupils shrank slightly, and a look of shock appeared on his face: "Paradise Island, isn't it...a sanctuary?"
Paradise Island, Sanctuary, although they have different names, the place is the same place.
As mentioned before, the place where the Sons and Saints are secretly cultivated is officially called the Sanctuary, but many people prefer to call it Paradise Island.
"You are asking me to cultivate saints and saints here?" Yan Wan asked in surprise. "I let Matthew go, so you are not worried that I am a companion of the devil?"
The man asked back: "If you were a companion of the devil, you would have run away with Matthew instead of letting him go because of old feelings."
"...Okay, but based on this, you are sure?" Yan said with a smile.
Man: "Of course not. Don't forget that you were seriously injured several times, and you only recovered after soaking in holy water and bathing in divine grace. Do you think my god can cure demons?"
Since your Excellency is a human being, has such high strength, has a high status in the Holy See, and lacks nothing. What reason is there to turn to the devil? "
Yan Wan was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No..."
"Actually, in addition to training these saints and saints, the Pope also has a task to entrust to you."
The man said seriously: "Actually, the last key to the gate of hell is in the sanctuary. The Pope wants you to stay here and protect this key. Don't let the devil succeed again."
"...The key is in the sanctuary?"
Yan Wan was stunned, then realized what he was doing and asked in surprise: "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know. How could the devil know? Let alone come here to snatch the key?"
The man looked solemn and lowered his voice as he said: "Actually, we also believe that Bishop Matthew was framed by the devil and had no choice but to be transformed into a devil.
Because for so many years, Bishop Matthew has been a devout believer and has even been baptized by divine light. So he can't be a lurking demon.
The reason why it became like this is that the lurking devil framed Bishop Matthew and asked him to serve as a scapegoat, so that the Holy See would no longer launch a search operation and his situation would become safe again.
Moreover, don’t you think that Matthew left too easily? The Holy See didn't even send knights to chase you, it just asked you a few words to show off. "
After he said this, Yan Wan couldn't help but trembled: "Did you let Matthew go on purpose?"
After a pause, the man continued: "Matthew has promised that he will pretend to be a fugitive, join the warlock's group, and provide us with information. We promised him that if the warlock is eliminated one day, we will set you free."
Yan Wan stared at him in surprise: "...Have you caught up with him? Aren't you worried that in that group, Matthew will be affected and completely turn into a devil?"
As he spoke, Yan Wan had some enlightenment in his heart. It seems that Matthew did not hand over the key to the gate of hell to the Holy See, but hid it quietly.
The man said: "We believe in Matthew, look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. Even if he has changed his bloodline, he is still a devout believer in our god. What's more, with the ties of family members such as Mengka, Matthew will not fall."
"..." Yan Wan was speechless. Without the key to the gate of hell, Matthew would have become as crazy as William.
After all, hundreds of years have passed, and this group of humans who were born after the war seem to have an inexplicable sense of self-confidence. It's like a demon invasion, but it's really only humans who can defeat them.
The power of hell and the power of demons can be resisted by human willpower alone. Why did it force the Holy See to invite angels to come to the mortal world in the first place?
Without the help of heaven, the world would probably have become a paradise for demons.
It should be noted that the Hell Legion, if it had not first started to eliminate the Dukes, Marquises, Vampires, these powerful aliens, and caused too much damage, I am afraid that the world would have been bulldozed long ago.
