Chapter 209 Paradise Plan
It is different from what many people imagine.
The Central Diocese of the Twilight Church is not solemn and dignified, nor does it have a luxurious cathedral. Instead, it is just a dilapidated monastery located in a wild suburb in the center.
The Cross Starlight Cathedral of the Church, which is adjacent to the Royal Weiyang Pavilion in the center, is a secondary central diocese. Only bishops are stationed there, and the church was built with joint funding from the cabinet and the royal family.
At this time, next to the small pond in the backyard of this dilapidated monastery, an old man wearing a rusty crown was sitting on a small bench fishing.
Next to him sat a luxuriously dressed man, who was wearing a well-tailored brown suit and sitting on a soft recliner. Compared with the Twilight Pope who looked like a poor man in the countryside, he was like a king and a farmer.
"Your Majesty, many people in the cabinet have objections to your granddaughter's current arrangement. There are rumors in the academy that she has a close relationship with the thug named Vic Forrest, and she should also be an insider of what happened in the cellar in the domain. The first place she should go to when she returns to the center is the Science Discipline Management Office to report, but you took her back to the church privately after she got off the car, which made the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor very distressed."
The well-dressed man lay on the soft recliner, his tone seemed respectful, but in fact he was questioning such words.
The Twilight Pope's green eyes were always staring at the pond, and he did not divert his attention because of his words.
The man didn't seem to care, just closed his eyes and swayed on the recliner waiting. This silence lasted for a long time, and then the Pope spoke in a calm voice.
"My granddaughter is home, can't I pick her up in person? Why did you exile her to the academy? Do you think I don't know the reason? But what results can you get from your research on her? Some questions are the same even if I answer them ten thousand times. Le Yue has no secrets. She is just an ordinary child and has nothing to do with anyone. You have taken away many of my friends and family. Do you want to send my last granddaughter to the laboratory?"
"You have always misunderstood us, Your Majesty. We never wanted to do anything to Miss Le Yue. It's just that as the future successor of Twilight, she must prove that she is qualified. What happened nineteen years ago was really too scary. No one understood why she suddenly became like that, and after that, for a full 19 years, she seemed to never age at all and remained in that state. These are the concerns of the cabinet and the royal family. If she wants to take over your position in the future, these issues must be finally figured out."
The Pope turned his head and glanced at this humble man, with some inexplicable emotions hidden in his drooping eyes.
"Are you the prince of the royal family or the saint of my Twilight?"
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Of course I am the prince of the royal family."
"Since you are just a prince, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at Twilight's affairs?"
The Pope's light words made the man's expression a little stiff, but he still maintained the royal restraint and said lightly.
"Of course, the royal family and the cabinet only have the right to make suggestions on Twilight's internal affairs, but Miss Le Yue was diagnosed with "mental illness" at the time, which is not only related to Twilight. This involves the core issues of the central government, so of course we have the right to ask."
"Then you go find your own problems. Le Yue's positions in the Institute of Biology and the Academy have all been dismissed by you. Now she only has the power of a nun in the church, which is not under my jurisdiction. Does the Twilight Church also belong to the royal family?"
"You are joking again."
"Do you think I am joking with you? I don't know whether you are here today on behalf of the royal family or the cabinet, but whether it is the royal family or the cabinet, if you want to interfere in Twilight's affairs, you can. This crown itself is forced on my head by you. If you want to take it away, you can take it away at any time."
The man didn't dare to say anything after hearing this.
Although he didn't understand the secrets of the past, he also knew some things because of his obscure identity. The current identity of the Pope is not a noble position for him, but a shackle that binds him!
Once he is no longer the Majesty of Twilight and takes off the old and rotten iron crown on his head, no one, whether it is the cabinet or the royal family, will sleep uneasy.
The man of noble status can only take the initiative to lower his posture and compromise.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that neither the cabinet nor the royal family will be unkind. Miss Le Yue has been exiled from the academy for nearly 20 years, which is enough to make up for the mistakes she has made. It's just that there are still some questions about her that we need an answer. But there is no rush to find answers. I guarantee here in the name of the royal family that no one will talk about Miss Le Yue's mistakes in the biology department in the future, and she can live safely in the center."
"Does the royal family have credibility?" The Pope just said lightly.
The atmosphere became silent for a while, and it was not until a long time later that the man took a deep breath and said with his head down.
"You are teaching me a lesson."
But soon, he raised his head again.
"In addition to some questions about Miss Le Yue, the cabinet also has some doubts about the church's recent organization of the Twilight Project test. According to the church's rules, this kind of test will be postponed for another ten years after the last one ended? Why is it still following the convention of once a hundred years?"
The Pope lifted the fishing rod with the bait removed from the hook, rehung the earthworm on the hook, and threw the hook into the pond again.
"This is the result of the vote of the bishops of various regions. Since the Twilight container had problems, it has never been confirmed whether it has had an impact on the internal thinking. Since the traditional deadline has expired this year, we chose to test it this year. Why is there a problem with the cabinet? Or did the previous pope crawl out of the grave and go to that confused prime minister to complain, saying that I broke some law?"
"Of course not, it's just that the church's planned test started ahead of time, and the bishops of the various dioceses below must return to the central government to participate. They will definitely stay for more than seven days, which will conflict with the cabinet's recent management policy."
"The Twilight bishops have no household registration in any city. Their own identity certificates are in the Twilight Church. Management and governance will naturally be restricted by the church. If the cabinet wants to intervene, let the confused prime minister come and talk to me himself."
The pope's words were very straightforward, and he was just short of pointing at his nose and scolding him. You don't work in the cabinet, and you are not the emperor. What qualifications do you have to come to Twilight to talk to me about this matter?
This made the man, who had always been pampered and treated politely by the prime minister with a bad temper, feel a little embarrassed and even regretted taking this job.
He had never dealt with the Pope before, but he had heard that he had a strange temper, but he didn't expect it to be so strange. He really didn't give face to anyone!
The man smiled bitterly and was about to stop making trouble here and wanted to find an excuse to leave directly. At this time, the Pope, who had never looked at him straight before, suddenly turned his head and looked at him.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with people. Whether it is in the royal family or in the ministers in the cabinet, you can get along with them."
He was used to the weird old man in front of him, and he suddenly asked a serious question related to himself, which made the man a little uncomfortable for a while.
"You are too kind. I am just helping my father maintain some interpersonal relationships. This time, my father was worried about something, so I volunteered to come here."
"Since you have many friends, you can help me promote it in your circle." The Pope said calmly, "Because the planned test requires a lot of manpower and material resources, the church's financial situation is a bit tight, so in addition to the Twilight test, a paradise plan has been specially launched."
"That is an illusory world built based on Twilight. That world is completely modeled after the earthly world in the past, and in it, not only are you not afraid of life and death, you can do anything and satisfy any wishes. As long as the princes and nobles are willing to donate money to Twilight, they can experience it."
"If you are willing to do me this favor, I can let the bishops who enter the central government also cooperate with the cabinet's policy, register special information in the central government, agree on the stay time, and expel them directly once they exceed the time limit, and never cover up."
Hearing these words, the man couldn't help but show joy on his face!
He originally thought that he would not be able to accomplish both of the two things he had come here for, but he did not expect that the stubborn pope would compromise and be willing to cooperate with one of the things, which made him feel quite surprised and unexpected.
As for the help mentioned by the pope, he not only did not feel troubled, but was secretly happy.
What is upright and simple and self-disciplined?
This Twilight Pope, who is almost a living saint in the legend, is not as selfless as he said. Now in order to ask for some donations from the upper class, he even specially built a paradise. Such behavior does not show any meaning of transcending the world, but is full of money.
But the more this happens, the more satisfied and happy the man is in his heart.
That's right.
Where are the so-called saints in the world today?
Aren't everyone doing dirty and shameful things for their own selfish desires, wearing bright and beautiful clothes?
Why can your Twilight Church be an exception?
The man himself was not the only one who had such thoughts. There were also many people in the upper echelons of the central government. The more these bishops and priests of Twilight showed indifference to fame and fortune, the more they wanted to pollute them and attract them to fall into this dark and inky world of fame and fortune.
However, only a very small number of people knew what the Twilight Pope was in the past. Others only knew that his body was very special and that he was forced to take the position of Pope.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely keep your matter in mind. I will do my best to organize and publicize the church's fundraising plan outside."
The man agreed and then left the diocese without staying in this desolate place.
By the pond, only the Pope was left sitting quietly after the man left.
It was not until a long time later that the float suddenly twitched twice, and he suddenly pulled up the fishing rod!
However, when the fishing rod was pulled out of the water with the hook, there was no big fish on it, but an unlucky water snake entangled in the silk thread, twisting and struggling in mid-air.
Seeing the water snake, the Pope's face was not disappointed, but laughed.
He reached out and pinched the snake's head accurately, carefully observing its fangs and tongue, muttering to himself.
"A poisonous insect, still deceiving itself and dreaming of sitting on everyone's head? It's all damned."
After Levi got the household registration card he needed most from Chen Guangsheng, he was completely established in the central government.
"I'm very curious, how can you do what no one else can do, and directly enter the false household registration information into the central shadow prime minister database?"
After getting what he wanted, Levi was not in a hurry to leave directly. Chen Guangsheng had lived in this city for nearly ten years and was quite familiar with many things, and could completely answer his doubts.
As for this question, Levi did not force it. After asking it, he continued.
"I'm just curious. If this involves any privacy, you don't want to talk about it, then you can just not answer it."
Chen Guangsheng just shook his head.
"There is no privacy or no privacy. In fact, this matter is not as complicated as imagined. It was just eight years ago, when I had just joined the Institute of Geology. During that time, I was responsible for the collection and storage of geological information. I had direct contact with the Shadow Prime Minister database almost every day."
"But that year, a big event happened. A group of terrorists broke into the Central Database and wanted to plunder the Shadow Prime Minister's data model. They only succeeded in a small part, causing some loopholes in the Shadow Prime Minister itself. I found one of the loopholes at that time, which led directly to the household registration database. Through some special methods, data can be compiled into it, so I can have such a skill now."
Levi couldn't help but feel a little confused about this.
"Eight years ago? That loophole lasted for so long, and no one has fixed it?"
Chen Guangsheng shook his head.
"I don't know, but this loophole has indeed existed and has not been discovered. Even the Shadow Prime Minister himself seems to have not noticed it and has never checked it himself."
After Li Wei learned some things from the academy, he certainly knew that the terrorists who made a big fuss in the central database were Chi Qing and his people.
He didn't think that the shadow chancellor, who was valued and fought for by so many people, was an artificial idiot or a useless AI, but was it really reasonable that such a loophole had not been discovered for eight years?
This was obviously problematic, but Levi didn't want to get involved for the time being.
What he was thinking about now was how to participate in Twilight's planned test this year.
Today is one chapter of 4,000, a short break, and tomorrow is normal
