"Aiya, my real identity was accidentally exposed." Li Xianyu stuck out his tongue. He didn't panic, but he looked playful and embarrassed.
He had long understood Li Peiyun's temperament. This guy was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. He was a clean freak and liked friends who were frank and straightforward.
Women were privileged. This couldn't be refuted because it was a fact.
If Li Xianyu pretended to be embarrassed or guilty, it would bring Li Peiyun into the pit and make him angry. On the other hand, if he pretended to be indifferent, the discomfort in Li Peiyun's heart would be reduced.
"Otherwise, why do you think I approached Jason Kashub? I came with a mission, "Li Xianyu said," I'm a non-staff member of Bosch. Non-staff, do you understand? "
Li Peiyun nodded. He knew that Bosch was divided into regular employees, non-staff employees, and temporary workers. Temporary workers were bounty hunters. They took on some missions that Bosch couldn't handle to earn points. They used points to exchange for what they wanted from Bosch.
As long as they weren't cultists, any blood descendant could be a temporary worker in Bosch. They didn't enjoy any benefits or insurance. If anything happened, they had to take responsibility. This was what it meant to be a temporary worker, with no human rights.
The original purpose of the non-staff was to examine the children of some blood descendant families. They were given the treatment of regular employees, but their identity wasn't recognized. It was like the mistresses of the old masters. They ate well, but they didn't have a title.
Xia Xiaoxue and Youmou Yu were non-staff. Non-staff members needed three years of observation to confirm that they weren't a traitor before they could officially join Bosch. Usually, when a non-staff member was promoted to a regular employee, they directly skipped trainee and low-level employees to become a mainstay mid-level employee.
"But don't worry, I won't arrest you." Li Xianyu patted Li Peiyun's shoulder. "Bosch doesn't really care about you. If he can arrest you, then he will. If not, then so be it. We're friends now, and I'll definitely stand on your side. "
Li Peiyun: "…"
Although he was unhappy that his identity had been concealed, after hearing this, he suddenly felt that it was nothing.
He actually enjoyed it very much.
"Can you speak in English? I can't understand your gibberish," Leon muttered.
Li Xianyu and Li Peiyun ignored him. The latter thought for a moment and frowned. "So, are you going to get involved in this matter?"
"Yes." Li Xianyu nodded and stretched. His action of puffing out his chest made the 36D silicone gel look slender and graceful. Leon and Kaluri's eyes almost wanted to fall into it. The Blood Esquire was also peeking, but Pace knocked him on the head.
"It's like a reporter who smells exclusive news. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up? If this business is successful, I can rest for an entire year." As he spoke, he pretended to be very righteous. "But don't get involved. If something happens, I can escape back to China, where Bosch will protect me. But you're planning to live in Europe for a long time now. You can't completely offend the Holy See. "
Does she think I'm afraid?
Li Peiyun frowned inwardly and said carelessly, "It's too late even if I withdraw now. If everything goes as expected, you and I are both on the Holy See's wanted list. If that's the case, I might as well play with them. I've been idle in Europe for so long anyway, it's boring. "
Yes, I just want to have fun, not worry about her.
Li Xianyu's lips curled up imperceptibly. His face was full of gratitude. "Thank you."
Li Peiyun waved her hands.
The Blood Esquire glanced at him from the side, thinking that this demon dao successor was too easy to provoke. It was very easy to be controlled by this woman.
But if Li Peiyun could join the team, it would be like sweet dew after a long drought for his group who lacked high-end combat power. Therefore, there was no need for him to remind Li Peiyun.
Li Peiyun had been in Europe for almost two months. During these two months, he felt as if he had lost his purpose in life.
In the past, there was a Li Xianyu chasing closely behind him. He had no choice but to cultivate with all his might, afraid that he would be overtaken. In the end, he was overtaken.
Then, the sense of urgency turned into one that he couldn't fall too far behind. He began to chase after Li Xianyu's back.
Although he hated, hated, and felt great pressure, his days were actually very fulfilling.
Therefore, when she learned that Li Xianyu had fallen, Li Peiyun almost lost control of her anger, not because she felt sympathy for him, but because her goal had disappeared. She felt empty all of a sudden.
It was like playing a game and being tortured by a boss made you want to smash the computer. But if someone really did smash the computer for you, you would be so angry that you would choke him to death.
Life wasn't good after he came to Europe. After all, he had been away from home for too long. Moreover, he was a quiet person and didn't get along well with others. He didn't have that warm feeling when he was with his family.
In Europe, he didn't have to worry about Bosch's men barging in to capture him. His lifelong enemy was also dead. Li Peiyun felt that his life was empty, lonely, and cold. There was no direction or purpose other than numbly cultivating.
Participating in the league tournament was just a pastime for him to be active.
Now, although it was dangerous to get involved in the matter between the Blood Esquire and the Vatican, it was also a kind of psychological comfort for him.
The Vatican's headquarters was located in a small country on the border of Europe. It was famous for being rich.
The most developed industry was tourism, receiving tens of millions of tourists from all over the world every year. At the same time, it was also a holy land for believers all over the world. Half of the tourism industry was driven by pilgrims.
The political system was the same as England, a constitutional monarchy. The Vatican was in control of the country. The king's family were loyal believers of the Vatican.
Dragon Knight rushed back to the Vatican's headquarters on a gulfstream and submitted his mission report. He waited for the Pope to summon him before the sun rose.
He stood on a tall building outside the cathedral, silently watching the believers who had woken up early enter the second cathedral for worship.
The second cathedral was what the Vatican called it. The Vatican had another cathedral that wasn't open to ordinary people. It was the place where the higher-ups of the Vatican held their meetings and mass: the first cathedral.
The first cathedral opened later than the second because the bishops of the Vatican had to finish their work in the second cathedral before they could take time to attend the meeting.
The Dragon Knight had finished interrogating Kurt and released him home.
Donder was right. Back then, Peisi was indeed betrayed by someone from within the Vatican, and the person who betrayed her was a powerful person.
It was the cardinal (red-robed archbishop) who had been executed. There was no doubt about that.
The one who killed the cardinal was Dragon Knight himself, and he was charged with colluding with the cult.
"The creation of the Fallen Angel is probably one of the conspiracies between the cardinal and the cult."
This speculation was the most consistent with the truth. Although the cardinal had been executed, his henchmen must still be around. Then, it made sense that someone had taken in the Fallen Angel Peisi.
"If Donder really had a clear conscience, why would he offend the Pope? This is obviously understandable. "
Dragon Knight pinched his eyebrows and felt a headache. There must be a key point that he hadn't thought of. He felt that he must have missed some important clues.
As for why the cardinal would have the secret information on the creation of the Fallen Angel, he wasn't surprised. Greed was the nature of humans. Even the Lord couldn't eliminate the darkness in people's hearts.
Whether it was the Vatican or the "warriors" who had destroyed the Vatican, Dragon Knight didn't believe that either party would really destroy the secret method of creating the Fallen Angel.
Ding ~
The bell rang, indicating that the meeting in the first cathedral had begun. Unknowingly, he had been standing here for nearly an hour.
Dragon Knight entered the first cathedral with the bell ringing. The first thing he saw was a huge golden cross. It was six meters tall and made of pure gold. In the background was a relief sculpture of the Lord and Mother.
The mural on the dome depicted the scene of heaven. In the sunlight refracted through the skylight, it was shrouded in a dreamy hazy halo.
Pope Gregory Benedict sat on his magnificent throne, wearing a golden crown and a luxurious robe. His expression was peaceful and serene, and he looked at the higher-ups with a kind and gentle gaze.
This old man had been sitting on the throne and looking down on the Vatican for a century.
He was the rare long-lived Pope in the history of the Vatican. When Dragon Knight was very young, he had sat like this when he first met him. More than forty years had passed, but his vitality was still strong.
This was the God in the hearts of the believers, and even more so in the hearts of the Vatican's descendants.
She had grown up listening to his legends and teachings. She had grown up under his gaze that was as majestic as the sea and as kind as a father.
Anyone could be a Fallen Angel, but not the Pope. Just like the ancient kings, anyone could be a traitor, but not the king, because the entire country was his.
The content of the meeting was similar to that of the ancient monarchs and ministers. The bishops would report on their work, raise questions, and then the Pope would decide. Or if the various departments had already made corresponding countermeasures, the Pope only needed to nod and say, "Okay."
Dragon Knight sat quietly in the corner. Although he was a warrior at the peak of his combat power and a knife hanging over the heads of the members of the Vatican, he had no right or authority to give orders in daily affairs.
There were many departments in the Vatican, such as the State Council, the College of Cardinals, the Church's Public Affairs Council, the Nine Great Holy Divisions, the Conference, and various major affairs offices.
These departments were like mechanical parts, maintaining the operation of the huge organization that was the Vatican.
The two-hour meeting gradually came to an end. Pope Gregory Benedict's gaze swept across the crowd and fell on Dragon Knight sitting in the corner.
His voice was loud and dignified. "Kyle, I have read your mission report."
Kyle got up, put his right hand against his heart, and bowed ninety degrees. "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I failed to complete the mission."
The surrounding bishops and department heads whispered to each other.
The Pope said lightly, "You have done your best."
"Regarding the mission report, I have something to add." Dragon Knight finished, and after getting the Pope's permission, he continued, "After the mission failed, I immediately had someone investigate Li Qianyu's identity. This person's background is mysterious, and all we could find was that she was a member of the" new human "rogue cultivator organization. However, we couldn't find any past records. "
The Pope listened quietly with an expressionless face.
Most people weren't worthy of his attention. He only listened because his identity as the Pope required it.
Dragon Knight continued, "I suspect that she is a well-hidden evil cultist. This is the only way to explain her identity."
The bishops looked at each other. Dragon Knight meant that the Blood Knight was in cahoots with the evil cultists. They hadn't seen the mission report, and they had never heard of Li Qianyu, but they knew that Dragon Knight was in charge of the Blood Knight's case.
Just over a month ago, the Blood Knight had betrayed the Vatican. The leader of the Holy Knights, a knight who was supposed to fight for the Vatican against foreign enemies, had unexpectedly defected to the evil cult, betrayed the Lord, and betrayed the Vatican.
Thinking back to how the cardinal had also been executed a few years ago, they couldn't help but sigh. The recent years had been eventful.
But someone didn't agree with Dragon Knight's opinion. "Maybe she's in disguise."
Dragon Knight shook his head. "Impossible. It's easy to change one's appearance, but not one's ability."
If it was some expert in disguise, they could change their appearance, but not their ability. Li Qianyu's charm ability meant that she was no ordinary person. But there was no information about such a person before this. The only explanation was that she was a hidden evil cultist.
This was in line with the evil cult's style of doing things. They would train secret killers in secret, hide well, and only use them at critical moments. People like this usually had a blank resume.
Dragon Knight felt that everything was shrouded in mystery. According to his previous thoughts, there might be a misunderstanding between the Blood Knight and the Vatican. Although he had worked with the Fallen Angel to offend the Pope, the culprit should be the Cardinal who had already been executed. The Blood Knight shouldn't be related to the evil cult.
Now, Li Qianyu's appearance had changed his mind.
"Such a clear ability?" The bishop looked at Dragon Knight.
The bishops all looked over.
"That's the most powerful charm ability I've ever seen," Dragon Knight replied.
"It's a woman?"
"Yes."
The bishops looked at each other in dismay. Even the Dragon Knight had said so. Just how devastatingly beautiful was that woman?
Dragon Knight continued, "But I think that there are still suspicious points in the case of the Blood Knight's betrayal. I sincerely ask the Pope to rescind the order and investigate the case in a different way. "
A small commotion broke out in all directions.
Not only was the order personally issued by the Pope, it was also unanimously approved by the council. It couldn't be rescinded. There had never been such a precedent.
"Rescind? The Commandment Knights have never requested to rescind the order. "An old voice came from outside the church.
