The Vatican, the smallest country in the world, is also the only sovereign state where theocracy is integrated. It is the center and holy place of the Catholic denomination, and it can be called "the largest church in the world" in another sense.

This may be the best choice if the demon wants to corrupt humans in thought and belief.

"Do you want to meet the Pope? The family has always been one of the biggest sponsors of the Vatican, and the Vatican's special property funds are also handled by the Bank of Rome. It doesn't take long for the family to arrange a meeting with the Pope. .”

Secretary Passi drives a Pagani. As Italy, the home of luxury cars in the world, there is no shortage of luxury cars in Gattuso's garage.

"Yes, we just confirmed with our own eyes whether this servant of God has sold his soul to the Dragon King or a demon." Caesar turned to look at Lu Mingfei in the back seat, "Do you have any suggestions? Other than 'purification' suggestion."

"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"OK, I'll leave it to Passy to arrange it for you. A formal private meeting is much quieter than rushing in to challenge the Pope's centurion." Caesar snapped his fingers.

"President Caesar, you probably don't understand our battle group's behavior style. Generally, wherever our war group appears, there will be a lot of noise." Fingel reminded warmly.

"I have personally experienced it more than ten hours ago," Caesar nodded, "I remember that shortly after you went to Japan last year, the turbulent weather there almost staged a realistic version of "The Sinking of Japan"."

Patsy glanced imperceptibly at the interior rearview mirror.

"Then it's none of our business. We almost blew up that shrine." Fingel said with a manly face.

"I seem to have heard that the building is in disrepair..." Caesar was slightly stunned, "Wait, did you guys do that?"

"Yes!"

"Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang are Chinese. I can understand them doing such a thing... But why do you have to look proud? Isn't Germany and Italy also the Axis powers?" Caesar couldn't help it. Make complaints.

"It's just that the evil den of heresy is just below there." Lu Mingfei explained calmly.

"...Very well, I hope that His Majesty the Pope is still a loyal servant of God, otherwise if the Vatican is bombed, then we will all go to hell."

After a long silence, Caesar said with a long breath.

If it were someone else, he probably wouldn't feel that someone wanted to blow up the Vatican, but Lu Mingfei... He watched the other party wrench off the head of the Nordic god "Odin" with his own eyes, and chopped it into fine pieces with an axe. Is it... "Zaozi"?
……

Among the pilgrims and believers attending Mass, Lu Mingfei and his party walked across the Holy Angel Bridge linking Rome and the Vatican.

"Today happens to be the day of mass, and there will be at least [-] believers gathered here... so no matter what, it's better not to make too much noise, otherwise hundreds of people will die in a stampede. Caesar was a little worried, and tightened his grip on the Desert Eagle, which was filled with alchemy bullets.

Looking around, the flow of people is endless. There are solemnly dressed believers and tourists. They are all heading towards St. Peter's Square. In theory, the noble Master Caesar does not need to talk to the "common people" here. Crowded together, he could have waited until the evening after Mass to formally meet with the Pope.

But Lu Mingfei insisted on getting out of the car to attend the mass on foot. He did not hide his pair of fiery golden eyes at all. His eyes scanned back and forth among the bustling crowd, trying to find the hidden person polluted by the power of chaos.

This is a new ability he obtained after undergoing the baptism of the emperor's mighty power called "The Power of Faith". Too many restrictions, the result of using it for a long time is at most sore eyes.

Ordinary humans in their hometown belong to the category of "spiritual inertia". Although they have a certain resistance to spiritual energy, it does not mean that they are completely immune; just like a glass of water can extinguish a lit match, but it cannot extinguish it. a star.

And the power of the Lord of Change is strange and ever-changing. It is not too easy to modify and distort the subconscious beliefs of human beings, even in that dark universe. The Lord of Change can even distort and modify the subconscious mind of devout believers. Maybe this The devotee still considers himself a devout follower of the Emperor, but the object of his prayers has become the Chaos Gods of the Empyrean.

Compared with transforming humans into dragon blood deadpools with greatly reduced psychic resistance and sufficient combat power, although this method of corruption is inefficient, the subsequent impact will spread rapidly among humans with faith like a plague , and finally may be able to directly ignore the suppression of the real world and erode.

"Did you find anything, Captain? Do you want me to get you a pair of sunglasses to wear? Otherwise, at night, your bright eyes will become a spotlight."

Finger whispered next to Lu Mingfei.

"The power of blasphemy has not been discovered for the time being. Maybe the corruption ceremony has not started yet." Lu Mingfei followed the crowd into St. Peter's Square, still maintaining a scrutiny posture, and his golden eyes swept over one believer after another.

Their minds are clear, and there is no trace of any profane power pollution in their bodies.

"Although I don't know about corruption rituals, it sounds like the more people gather for this kind of ritual, the worse it will be..." Fingel glanced at the densely packed crowd in this square, "Besides shooting into the sky I can't think of any other way to evacuate these people."

"That will trigger a stampede that shocked the world." Caesar looked serious, "The secret party's primary task is to protect humans from dragons, not to indirectly harm humans."

"The Sixteenth Pope has appeared." Passy reminded in a low voice behind him.

An old man wearing a golden crown, wearing a bright red ornately embroidered papal robe with a cross, and holding a cross scepter appeared in the square surrounded by many high priests in white robes, chant priests and other clergy. On the high platform, his deep voice spread throughout St. Peter's Square through the loudspeakers.

Lu Mingfei's blazing golden eyes immediately locked on the pope who is the most powerful pope in the world in his hometown. The clothes on the other party are somewhat similar to those of the patriarch of the empire in the universe, but the latter will have many more mechanical devices and emperors. The Proverbs of the Emperor.

The relationship between the Wailers Chapter and the State Church is not bad, because some believers of the State Church are also committed to spreading the belief and glory of the Emperor in the remote world of the Empire. The Wailers "save the Emperor's loyal followers and save his people" His actions were praised by them, and various supplies were sometimes used to allow Astartes the Lamenter to act briefly as the Archbishop's personal guard.

More or less, although the Wailers did not fanatically believe in the Emperor as a great god like the brothers of the Black Templar or the Red Hunters Chapter, they also began to learn to recite the Emperor's Word and pray to the Emperor ——As the son of Sanguine Les, it is not a bad thing to have more ways to suppress "Blood Thirst" and "Black Rage".

Such a good relationship even when the Wailers were sentenced to a 100-year redemption expedition, several cardinals and archbishops jointly lobbied the court to buy them a few more years of supply time.

"Is there anything unusual?" Caesar leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"……nothing now."

During the time when the memories flashed like fragments, Lu Mingfei did not find that the pope who recited the Bible had hidden power pollution of blasphemy, and as the mass ceremony began, the believers in the square followed the choir Christmas carols are chanted, and beautiful organ music fills the air of the smallest country in its territory.

"Hallelujah, it seems our His Majesty the Pope is still a devout servant of God." Caesar heaved a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Lu Mingfei would make some outrageous actions and cause riots.

"Then after the ceremony, do you want to continue the meeting with the Pope?" Passy asked softly.

"Go on, let Lu Mingfei confirm it at a closer distance." Caesar replied after thinking for a while.

After the Orthodox Mass is over, there is the "Holy Communion". This central part is the most complicated. First, the Pope recites the Bible, restores the famous scene of "The Last Supper", and then consecrates the bread and wine, representing that these are Jesus Christ. The body and blood of Christ are distributed to numerous believers.

This ceremony lasted for nearly two hours. At Lu Mingfei's request, Finger also pretended to be a devout Catholic and went to get a small piece of bread, which he brought back for inspection. Throw it away when you go out-it can't be lost here.

Lu Mingfei's surveillance continued until the ceremony was over, and the believers gradually left St. Peter's Square. During this period, he did not find any traces of chaos pollution.

"Hope is my illusion." He whispered to himself, perhaps because he was infected by this religious ceremony, and at the same time he silently prayed to His Majesty the Emperor in his heart.

It's just that he didn't get any response, His Majesty seems very busy.
