I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 290 Reaching Consensus (4.6k)

As the day of the Pope's coronation approaches, the number of guards in the entire Papal City has increased a lot. In addition, there are many guests from ancient families to welcome. Even at dawn, the soldiers of the guard are already neatly dressed and standing in various places in the city. On the main road, the majesty of the Holy See was maintained with head held high.

But not everywhere is guarded, and some hidden side doors are still unattended.

This is nothing to worry about in normal times, because no one is stupid enough to come to harm the Papal City. Secondly, during these busy days, every member of the Holy See is so busy that they have no time to sneak out of the city, except Ai Demon.

He really didn't want to leave.

At this time, any behavior that does not comply with the rules will get him into a lot of trouble.

Even if he sneaked out through the side door while others were not paying attention, it would be enough for him as a deacon to be suspended from his job. If he usually encountered some minor issues, he would at most let one of his junior monks do it. I went out of town to do it, but this was not possible.

Once the scandal of colluding with gangs is exposed, his days in the Holy See will be over.

Comparing the two, it is very clear how to choose.

Moreover, since that person knows his contact information and his identity, it means that the other party has conducted a targeted investigation and he is the other party's target.

Who revealed the news? What kind of gangsters don't know the heights of the sky?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He suppressed his anger and rushed towards the place where he had made an appointment with the man.

It was an unfinished building located in the suburbs, with only a basic structure made of reinforced concrete. Apart from pillars, there were no walls or decorations, and there were only piles of scrap materials scattered in the building.

After sending away the taxi driver, Edmund cautiously walked into the building.

He hadn't thought that the other party would come in advance and set up some kind of ambush or mechanism, so he rushed over in advance in order to check before meeting to prevent any danger. You can also take the opportunity to take the initiative.

It's just that he miscalculated.

After he entered the building, a playful voice soon followed his footsteps, echoing in the empty building.

"Lord Edmund, it seems that you are very anxious to meet me."

The sounds came from all directions, making it impossible for him to determine the target location. Through the extraordinary five senses and the keen observation gained from the basic training he received in the Holy See, he soon discovered that these sounds were From loudspeakers installed in every corner of the building,

Sure enough, arrangements were made.

It was this arrangement that was a little different from the trap he imagined, more like some kind of choice to hide himself.

"Why don't you come out? Didn't you ask me to meet here?" Edmund asked calmly while scanning the surroundings.

Originally, he was ready to test the situation, and once he found danger, he would immediately retreat, and notify the Holy See, saying that someone was trying to frame him, etc., which was considered silence.

Once silenced, even if it is difficult to explain the relationship between the two parties, it is much better than being threatened.

And now, after discovering that the purpose of this arrangement was to hide himself, he had vaguely guessed that the person who asked him out did not intend to do anything to him, but intended to negotiate to some extent and make a decision. This kind of arrangement is more like being on guard against him making a move.

In fact, he also plans to take action.

No matter what the other party's purpose is to ask him out, silence is the best way to cover up the matter.

Especially now, when he found that the opponent seemed to be weaker than him.

It's a pity that the other party also thought of this. Facing his temptation, the subtle atmosphere between the two was directly revealed.

"Haha, Lord Edmund, haven't we already met? The reason why I didn't show up is because I wanted to keep calm between us."

"Calm down? You threaten me with things and you still want me to calm down?" Edmund sneered.

But the other party didn't care about it at all, and even said a little apologetically: "In order for you to have the patience to talk to me, I can only make some suggestions."

"Why should I talk to you, and why should you come to me?"

Edmund frowned.

He really didn't understand why he was suddenly approached by a stranger. To be honest, he had been working in various dioceses and had no sin at all. People in the extraordinary circle were really in trouble. That would also be a trial within the Holy See. It was the stranger's turn to find him.

And what the other party raised also made him confused.

"A sign."

Before he finished speaking, what appeared with the other party's voice was a flame that ignited from the messy old newspapers and torn canvas on the ground. However, this was not a blind burning, but ignited along specific lines. The result is a flaming eerie symbol.

If it was a few days ago, he could only say that he knew nothing about it.

But after last night, he could say that he had seen this sign, but he still didn't know anything else about it, because it was sent to him by the gang leader, asking him to help find clues, but at that time he was busy dealing with matters in the Holy See. I don't care about things at all.

Now it seems that the person who asked him out is also looking for this sign.

Then

"Did you do that thing in the black market?"

"Yes, but you don't care, right? They will go to hell anyway, and I am only responsible for sending them there."

After hearing this and thinking of the photos of the scene that the gang leader forwarded to him, Edmund was not afraid, but it was hard not to curse a few times in his heart.

Go to hell? It would be hell if it fell into your hands, right?

However, as he said, he didn't care about the life or death of those gang members. He just wondered why the other party was looking for this sign and why they were looking for him?

"I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you think I know this sign. In fact, if it weren't for you, I might have never seen this thing, and I told the gang last night No, I don’t know either.”

Edmund said as he calmly watched the flames in front of him go out.

Based on the materials and arrangements that ignited the flames, he found that none of these things had anything to do with the supernatural. Instead, they were full of modern technology. This was very rare in the extraordinary circle. Except for organizations like the Silent Ones, who had no taboos, anyone with some ability Extraordinary people don't bother to use these strange skills.

From this, he further determined that the other party was either an extraordinary person with insufficient abilities, or a non-mainstream person who was not accepted in the circle.

The former means that the strength is very poor, and he can easily subdue it, while the latter means that he has no background at all, and he can also deal with it easily, but the methods required are different depending on the strength.

However, the other party's next words did a good job of containing his increasingly dangerous thoughts.

"Sir Edmund, I know what you are thinking, but before you make a decision that you will regret, first try to understand what this sign means, and then take a look at what has happened recently because of this sign. things, and after understanding these things, I think we will have something in common."

"Common topic? What can you and I have in common?"

"You see, I am facing the trouble caused by this sign and have a headache about it, and you are also troubled by certain things, so you see, is there a common topic?"

"Ah"

Although Edmund smiled disdainfully on the surface, he was already thinking about a new plan in his heart.

Maybe it would be a good idea to learn about that symbol.

Since the other party knows about his affairs, he has conducted a targeted investigation. This will inevitably involve some information about the Holy See. After understanding this, he still came to him to say this, which is a bit interesting. "I will try to understand the situation. How should I contact you after that?"

After thinking for a while, he decided to agree first.

In this period of surging undercurrents, more power means more possibilities. Even if he can't completely control this power, he doesn't know much about it, but before he understands it, it is a good idea to avoid direct conflict with it. choose.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his cell phone ring suddenly.

When I took it out, I saw an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.

"When you think about it, call me and we can talk. By the way, you can call me Hermann."

As soon as he finished saying this, Edmund noticed that there was a harsh sound of electricity coming from the speaker next to him, and then smoke started to appear. It seemed to be useless.

"Are you leaving? You are so decisive."

He muttered, looked at the number, and silently put the phone back into his pocket.

The other party's crisp actions and cruel behavior reminded him of the Inquisition, and he even thought that this would be a non-staff member developed by some Inquisitor.

But with the extremely traditional position of the Tribunal, it was impossible to do such a thing.

In other words, this is more likely to be the result of careful training by an organization.

Is this a sign?

Edmund looked down at the sign that had turned into ashes, silently waved his hand, and let a breeze blow away the dust.

Let me see what this is all about.

He thought to himself.

"hiss"

After returning to the Papal City and looking through various relevant information and recent intelligence, Edmund couldn't help but take a breath.

Even judging from his decades of experience in the extraordinary circle, this was an eye-opener.

The mysterious sailor who suddenly appeared on the sea and the elusive whereabouts of Mr. A all seemed like a big net woven by some mysterious organization, quietly controlling everything behind the scenes.

This huge net is so tight that even the academy's intelligence department has tried its best to find no trace of it.

It can also easily place the person in charge of operations in a place under the nose of the Abnormality Bureau without any noise. It even requires the person in charge to take the initiative to expose himself, and then the Abnormality Bureau is shocked to realize that such an organization has appeared under their noses. .

And when necessary, he can send out an inconspicuous pawn at will, and then easily change the outcome of even the arrival of the evil god.

Powerful, mysterious, and unfathomable.

All the evidence showed that this organization really existed and had just stopped an attempt by the Ashes to resurrect the evil god. This was the meaning of the symbol he was looking for.

Coupled with the fact that Gehrman, who asked him to meet him, was also looking for something related to this sign.

He could almost immediately conclude that Herman was also a member of that organization, and perhaps the head of the organization's local operations.

It wasn't that he was imagining it.

Because the data shows that the organization does not only have extraordinary people. In other words, from the list of personnel known so far, no one is an extraordinary person, they are all ordinary people, and one even became a fallen person.

The person in charge of their operation seems to be willing to end it personally. Let’s not talk about A who is still being hunted. Let’s just talk about the one who took the initiative to expose himself. In the records of the Abnormality Bureau, the young man named Wu Shuang, After things got worse, regardless of the fact that the local area was not the area he was responsible for, he still personally participated in the action to prevent the deity ritual, and promoted the first cooperation with the Abnormality Bureau.

Even though this kind of cooperation seems more like using conspiracy and trickery, borrowing the power of the Abnormality Bureau to achieve what they want.

It also illustrates the strength of the organization from the side.

Thinking of this, Edmund couldn't help but have some doubts.

Why did that organization want to cooperate with him? Could it be.

He suddenly remembered that when Herman was trying to persuade him, he brought up a common topic between the two of them.

According to its organization, it participated in the action to prevent the Ashes from resurrecting the evil god. In addition to various related incidents before, it can be seen that the organization does not deal with the gods, at least with the Ashes. Nagelman found The act of marking this sign is entirely a matter of organizing the distribution.

In other words, both of them have work troubles.

That mysterious organization is so terrifying that it can even learn the confidential information within the Holy See.

He was worried about the internal turmoil in the Holy See, while Herman was worried about the failure to complete the tasks assigned by the organization. It seemed that they were both stumbling over troubles that were not big or small, so there was cooperation. Foundation.

The next thing is simple.

He only needs to consider what benefits this cooperation can bring to him, and whether Herman's status in that organization can bring him enough returns.

After figuring it all out, Edmund took a deep breath, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number.

"Hey, have you thought about it?" The lazy voice sounded, seeming to be enjoying morning tea.

But Edmund, who already knew what he should ask, did not let the other party control the negotiation process. Instead, he took it over and said in a deep voice: "Before I decide to cooperate with you, I want to understand you first. As for my identity, although you may have known it before you decided to contact me, I would like to remind you again that I am the senior deacon of the Holy See Hub Hall. There are only six people in the same position as me, and I have The ability to influence most affairs of the Holy See and determine the final plan, I want the people I work with to have at least similar abilities."

He was forcing Herman not only to show his identity, but also to show his position of power.

At the same time, it was tantamount to agreeing to cooperate, as long as Herman's position in his organization could help him.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Hermann compromised.

"Oh, Sir Edmund, it seems that you have a big plan. You have similar abilities, right? Did you just find out about a mysterious organization? I am a member of it, is that enough?"

Hearing this answer, Edmund suddenly felt a little excited, but this was not up to his standards.

It's not enough to be one of them, you have to have a certain status.

Of course, he didn't ask directly if the other person was the regional director, which was a bit offensive, and he had a better way of asking the question.

"How does it compare to A?"

After knowing that A is a member of that organization and the person in charge of a region, he asked this, which is tantamount to asking about the power of the other party. At the same time, judging from A's series of actions, it is estimated that the same is true in that organization. Beings with higher status have a lot of resources to mobilize.

If the other party behaves unnaturally, then the status will definitely be far behind.

If it was disdain, or an understatement, it would be a senior member of similar power.

"Emmm, I can't compare to him in terms of strength, but in other aspects, there's not much difference."

After receiving Gehrman's leisurely answer, Edmund could hardly contain his excitement, and a smile appeared on his rigid face.

"Then it seems that our cooperation can begin."
