The clergy's duty was to eliminate emotional crimes. They were the Church's most loyal and sharp sword. If they found out that their companions had betrayed the Church and became emotional criminals, they would definitely arrest the traitor without hesitation.
If it had been in the past, he would have definitely arrested Chen Mo and handed him over to the Church. If Chen Mo resisted, he would have killed him directly.
But now, after Chen Mo found out that he had lost control of his emotions, he only left a sentence and asked him to follow him to a place at night. This made John Peston very puzzled. After he slowly calmed down, a possibility flashed through his mind.
Could it be that he also …?!
Immediately, John Peston became tangled again. If it was really as he thought, then Chen Mo, who had indirectly killed his wife and sent her to the incinerator with his own hands, could not be considered his enemy. He should even be considered a comrade. This made it difficult for him to accept.
But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, even if he was in that situation, there seemed to be no other way except to arrest and cremate according to the Church's request. The one who had really killed his wife was the Church. Chen Mo was just an executor who could not disobey the Church's orders. Even he himself was the same. Other than watching his wife being taken away and being devoured by the flames, there was nothing he could do!
Under the suppression of "Bossian," he could not even feel pain. It was not until today that he had completely broken free from "Bossian's" control and completely awakened!
Thinking of this, while John Peston blamed himself, his resistance to Chen Mo lessened a lot. At the same time, he also felt some sympathy for him. Chen Mo was just like himself, powerless to resist the Church's cruel rule. His wife was just one of the millions of victims of the Church's dark rule. To completely end all of this, the Church's dictatorship must be overthrown!
But as a senior clergy, John Peston knew the Church's strength better than anyone else. Overthrowing the Church was easier said than done.
Perhaps Chen Mo would be able to give him an answer tonight.
…
After the mission that day, Chen Mo and John Peston acted as if nothing had happened. They returned to Libya City without saying a word.
That night, Chen Mo personally drove to pick up John Peston. Together, they rushed to the 48th district's freedom room.
At this time, there was no one reading inside. The entire corridor and the rooms on both sides were all dark. All the lights had been extinguished, and only a room at the end of the corridor was still lit. The dim light dragged the two people's shadows long, and the entire corridor seemed deep and quiet.
John Peston wasn't afraid because of this, but he still secretly raised his spirits. After all, his previous thoughts were only guesses. He had to see it with his own eyes to be sure.
Following Chen Mo, the two of them walked all the way to the door of the room with the lights on. Chen Mo pushed the door open and walked in.
John Peston braced himself and followed closely behind. He walked into the room, but found that it was no different from the other rooms. There was a podium in front, tables below, and a huge bookshelf that took up the entire wall.
There was only one middle-aged man in the room at this moment. He sat behind the podium with his head lowered, reading a book. When he saw the two of them enter, he first glanced at their clergy robes. His eyes paused on John Peston, and then looked at Chen Mo. Seeing him nod slightly, he reached into his pocket and took out a remote control. He pointed it at the bookshelf on the side and pressed it.
The middle part of the bookshelf slowly parted to both sides, revealing a secret room inside.
Chen Mo didn't greet John Peston and walked in between the bookshelves. When John Peston saw this, he had basically confirmed his speculation. Chen Mo really was a member of the resistance organization!
Other than the resistance organization, he couldn't think of any other organization that could build a secret room in this place. As for the Church, they didn't need to do anything superfluous.
Without hesitation, John Peston followed Chen Mo's footsteps and walked into the secret room. However, he found that a new secret passage was slowly opening on the ground in front of the secret room, leading underground.
Seeing Chen Mo stride down the secret passage and about to disappear in front of him, John Peston hurriedly followed.
Following the staircase down to the underground and turning a corner, a lively underground space appeared in front of John Peston. Although there weren't as many people as there were during the day, there were still quite a few people gathered in groups of three or five, discussing something. The atmosphere was free and lively.
John Peston turned his head to look at Chen Mo, who was standing beside him. Ever since they met during the day in the secret room in the Nethers District, Chen Mo, who hadn't spoken to him, finally spoke.
"Welcome to the underground world!"
As Chen Mo spoke, a smile hung on his cold face.
John Peston, who had never seen Chen Mo smile before, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
However, this also proved his conjecture that Chen Mo was also a sentimental person!
"Where is this?"
John Peston asked as he sized up the environment and the people here.
"This is the underground base of the resistance organization."
The one who answered him wasn't Chen Mo, but Jurgen, who walked over from the side.
"Pastor Kevin James! We finally meet! "
Jurgen walked forward, but didn't continue talking to John Peston. Instead, he greeted Chen Mo.
This was actually Chen Mo's first time in the underground base, but the upper echelons of the resistance organization had been looking forward to his arrival for a long time.
Chen Mo was the only one of their "mysterious allies" that they knew the identity of. Previously, it was Jurgen who had personally arranged for Ello Patje to recommend Chen Mo to join the Jehovah's Priestly Reserves. It was only now that they met for the first time.
Chen Mo nodded at Jurgen and went straight to the point without any unnecessary pleasantries.
"Have you arranged it?"
Jurgen was not displeased by Chenzo's attitude. During this period of time, their 'mysterious ally' had already proven his terrifying strength and stance. As the only member of their 'ally' who had shown his face, Chenzo, who had relied on his top-notch talent, powerful strength, and the secret operations of the organization behind him, to rise from an ordinary soldier to a gray-robed priest in a short period of time, was definitely a core member of the upper echelons of their 'ally'.
