After the previous incident, they did not dare to trust anyone at this moment, including their colleagues. Only by seeing the Pope with their own eyes, confirming his safety and situation, and receiving his personal orders could they be completely at ease!
John Peston and Aylo Patje looked at each other and did not know what to do. Should they say that the Pope was not seeing anyone now? The four people in front of them obviously would not accept this. After all, they were not their superiors. They might just barge in directly.
But the Pope was already dead, and his body was in the bag behind them. If they let them go up now, they would be exposed.
If there was no other way, they could only kill them!
However, it was now two against four. Even if John Peston was the strongest among the senior clergy, it did not mean that he could fight one against three.
Just as the two of them were stuck in a dilemma, the micro communication headphones in their ears suddenly rang.
"Let them come up."
It turned out that Chen Mo had learned about the situation below through Jarvis.
Chen Mo originally wanted to slack off and fool them through Jarvis. He did not expect that these senior clergy would not be so easily fooled. Usually, it would be fine, but for such a serious matter, they had to see the Pope with their own eyes and ensure his safety.
As the savior of the Libyan people, the father of the nation, and the spiritual faith, so many years of brainwashing were not in vain. Everyone's loyalty to the Pope was unshakable. In the movie, even if the Pope died, Du Peng, who took over his position, still ruled in the name of the Pope. This showed the Pope's influence.
In fact, Chen Mo had considered directly killing the Pope and replacing him. However, the Pope lived in seclusion and was heavily guarded. It was easy to kill him, but not quietly. Once he made a move, it would definitely alert the guards and clergy. At that time, even if he killed everyone, he would not be able to smoothly control the church, and there would be no place for him to learn gunfighting.
It was better to enter the clergy step by step and learn gunfighting first. At the same time, he gradually gained control of some people who could help him smoothly take over the church.
When John Peston and Aylo Patje received Chen Mo's order, they thought that Chen Mo intended to lure the four High Priests to the front so that the three of them could work together to kill them. Judging from how Chen Mo had single-handedly killed a hundred of the Pope's personal guards and defeated the Pope, Chen Mo's strength was far greater than the two of them. With the two of them assisting from the side, killing the four High Priests shouldn't be a problem.
But don't forget, the Pope's body was still in the elevator with the bodies of the other guards. The Pope's body was of great importance, and they had to personally cremate it to ensure its safety. Otherwise, once the Pope's death was discovered, there would be a lot of unforeseen events, and the situation would not be so easy to control.
"Priest Patje, escort the corpse. Peston, bring the men up."
After receiving Chen Mo's further orders, the two of them no longer hesitated. John Peston withdrew his confrontational gaze and nodded at them.
"His Holiness the Pope happened to want to see you. Follow me."
The reason why John Peston and Aylo Patje obeyed Chen Mo's orders was not because of Chen Mo's strength, but because that night in the underground base, Chen Mo had revealed his identity as the resistance's "mysterious ally."
At first, Jurgen and the others couldn't believe that there was only one powerful "ally." It wasn't until Chen Mo called for Jarvis to do something in front of them that they accepted this fact.
This world's technology was very advanced before the Third World War, so there was naturally artificial intelligence. Although it wasn't as powerful as Jarvis, it wasn't completely unacceptable.
After learning that Chen Mo was the "mysterious ally" who had been secretly helping them develop, Jurgen and the others still had no objections to Chen Mo's plan.
Previously, Chen Mo had used facts to prove his strength. The resistance's development during this period of time was something that Jurgen didn't even dare to imagine. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. Didn't they establish the resistance to overthrow the brutal rule of the Church?
Now, this day had finally come!
Chen Mo relied on his previous great achievements to easily obtain the command of the operation. If not for Chen Mo's refusal, Jurgen would have wanted to give him the position of leader.
Chen Mo was about to leave soon. What was the use of the position of leader? Therefore, he refused without hesitation.
After receiving Chen Mo's order, John Peston motioned for the four preachers to enter the elevator with him.
While everyone was confronting each other, the Church's soldiers who had joined the resistance had already moved the corpse out of the elevator.
The four preachers glanced at the body bags piled to the side, but didn't have any intention of going forward to check. Seeing the Pope was the most important thing right now.
After watching the elevator door close, Ello Patje ordered the soldiers to move the corpse to the crematorium. His attention was all on the bag containing the Pope's corpse.
The four preachers took the elevator to the 121st floor under John Peston's lead. Although the remaining corpses had all been sealed in bags, the bloodstains on the ground hadn't been cleaned up. There was still a thick layer of fresh blood on the ground that hadn't yet solidified. The entire floor outside the elevator was a bright red.
This made the four of them even more worried about the Pope's safety.
Stepping on the pool of blood, the four of them followed John Peston to the door of the Pope's office.
John Peston stopped in front of the door and gestured for the four to enter.
In fact, according to normal procedures, meeting the Pope required a strict search, testing, and handing over all weapons. However, this was a special time. There had just been a rebellion, and the four of them weren't sure of the Pope's safety. It was impossible for them to hand over their weapons.
John Peston didn't waste his breath and just let the four of them enter. He fell behind and prepared to launch a pincer attack on the four with Chen Mo.
Seeing the four of them open the door and walk inside, John Peston's body was already tense. He was ready to eject his guns and attack together with Chen Mo if he launched an attack.
However, the gunshots he was waiting for didn't come. What the four of them did next stunned John Peston.
The four of them pushed the door open and walked into the Pope's office. However, they didn't encounter Chen Mo's attack as he expected. The four of them didn't show any strange expressions. Instead, they excitedly strode forward to the center of the circular hall and knelt on one knee at the same time.
"Greetings to the Pope!"
