I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 291 The Imminent Coup (4.2k)

"I'm glad we came to an agreement."

Wu Shuang, who had already arrived at the hotel lobby and was about to check in, replied with satisfaction to Edmond, who agreed to cooperate.

However, it is true that he wants to cooperate with Edmund.

But it was just based on the fact that both sides were in trouble and they were ready to help each other. Unexpectedly, Edmund seemed to have misunderstood something. After checking a lot of things, he thought he was a member of the mysterious organization and wanted to Collaborate in this capacity.

This made him cry a little.

Of course, this cannot be said to be a lie, because according to the other party's understanding, he is indeed a member of that mysterious organization. There may be some discrepancies with Edmund's understanding, because he is currently the only one in this organization. That’s all.

In order to achieve this cooperation, he was busy all night just setting up the venue.

I was originally able to enjoy morning tea, but I didn't expect that this guy Edmund would come early. If he hadn't been alert and prepared, things would have become difficult.

Even if he is a civil servant in the Holy See, Edmund is not honest.

During the conversation, he noticed that more than once, this guy wanted to take him down. If he hadn't been prepared, a fight would have started.

Fortunately, things did not turn into the worst situation in the end. Instead, they developed in a direction that he had not expected.

Now, the word cooperation that Edmund mentioned is completely different in depth and breadth from the cooperation that he wanted before. This guy intends to use his external power to achieve his own selfish desires.

Just by listening to those words, Wu Shuang could already guess Edmund's little thoughts.

But he still agreed.

After all, even reaching this type of cooperation is not impossible, and there are even some benefits. At least he has a relationship in the Holy See. As for Edmund's needs.

As the senior deacon of a hub hall, Edmund's first request must be to keep his position of power.

But now, with the newly crowned pope a moderate, Edmund's position was clearly not in danger.

After removing this most fundamental demand, all that is left is the desire for advancement. Whether it is money or power, it can be mixed in, and the exchange conditions that can be proposed to him are nothing more than helping him to rise. This is neither difficult nor easy, but in general it can be discussed.

“Are you trying to find out about that sign in the city, or in the area?”

After hearing Edmund's question and glancing at the room card he had already obtained, Wu Shuang walked leisurely towards the elevator and said in an unobtrusive voice: "Of course it's in this city."

For him, with Shikodi's help, it doesn't matter what kind of eavesdropping or surveillance. As for the people around him, who would pay attention to the content of other people's phone calls? What's more, this is not gossip.

"Can I ask why?"

It seemed that Edmund, the senior deacon, still had a sense of responsibility. After learning about the relevant matters, he took the initiative to ask him about his purpose at the moment.

Wu Shuang was very honest about this.

"Of course it's because they received news that they have a large number of people rushing to this city. I don't know what they are planning. If you, as a senior deacon, can solve this problem, it will probably be a great achievement, right?"

He has already laid out the conditions that he had thought of before.

Judging from what those cultists said about the immortality of the throne, as long as this matter was resolved, Edmund would have done a great job, and he had also reached the terms with Shikodi, and this favor was enough for him to use Shikodi. A few times. Well, it was when it had nothing to do with Shikodi.

Because even now, he is using Shikodi. The difference is that Shikodi is willing to do this.

Of course, he did not expect that Edmund would put forward other conditions.

After all, from Shikodi's mouth, it had been noticed that Edmund, who was under surveillance, showed that he was worried about troubles, so he might be asked to solve some troubles.

So Wu Shuang is waiting.

In the Papal City on the other side, Edmund was silent for a long time after hearing this condition.

He pressed the phone's receiver against his chest to prevent any of his emotions or unconscious murmurs from reaching the other end of the phone, because his mind was in a state of flux right now, and all kinds of thoughts were appearing and fading in his mind.

But there is only one word that remains unchanged.

opportunity!

Yes, opportunity. As a senior deacon, it is already difficult for him to go further. It is even almost over. The higher-level hub bishops are almost not promoted from senior deacons, but from those who have been in the diocese. Regional priests are chosen by seniority by vote.

To be precise, except for the direct appointment by the Pope, it is adopted by vote among the bishops.

And this basically blocked his path to advancement.

Because no matter how they choose, the bishops always want to pick their own people, and the higher the purity of this own person, the better.

It’s true that he has also been a priest, but he has already entered the Papal City halfway, and he is the last among the last. In addition, he is the subordinate of one of the bishops. The other bishops will not even consider adding one more competitor to theirs. The option of voting, even for an outsider, is better than the enemy.

And his immediate boss didn't want his former subordinates to climb to the level of equals.

It is impossible to appoint the Pope. There are only so many bishops. If you want to be in the position, you have to drive one away. Those bishops also have their own forces behind them. How can they be driven away just by saying? Besides, even if the Pope wants to appoint someone, he is appointing his own people and it has nothing to do with him.

So even if this is the soil that he is accustomed to and even lives on, he wants to belittle the stubbornness and decay in it.

Previously, he had accepted his fate and no longer planned to target the bishop. Instead, he planned to upgrade his deacon rank to another level.

At this moment, my heart began to become active again.

The cultists appeared in the city at the perfect time. At such a critical time point, isn't this obviously an eye-opener for the knights responsible for the security of the Papal City?

And now the knights are still colluding with the bishop. If they can find out the evidence of those cultists, they can use it to suppress and disperse the strength of the knights, thereby eliminating the crisis of the bishop's coup. Perhaps they can also use the help of Ge With the help of Man's power, he found evidence of his coup, pulled him down, and then used the power of God to get the Pope to appoint him to the throne.

Wait!

While he was thinking about it, Edmund suddenly realized a dangerous problem.

Why did those cultists appear at this critical time? Why didn't the knights responsible for the city's defense find out? Why did the bishop who wanted a coup go to lobby the Knights instead of other bishops or even the Inquisition?

broken

Putting these issues together, he had come up with a bloody coup.

The threat of force that he originally thought would force the bishops as civilized people and the pope who had not yet been crowned to compromise and seize the throne of power has never been bloodshed, or has been limited to the killings among the top few bishops. It has spread to the entire Papal City.

He didn't think that what the bishop who attempted a coup would do with those cultists after he had the power of the Knights?

Apart from being used to eradicate dissidents in the city, what other uses does it have?

After killing the disobedient people, use the knights to counterattack, wipe out the cultists, and earn a good reputation.

Cum, it all made that guy cum.

Edmund was so filled with hatred that he almost died in a coup. He was determined to fight back against the bishop who was about to launch a coup.

Picking up the phone, he asked the most important question about everything that came next. “Who do you want to be pope?”

"what?"

Wu Shuang, who had just walked into the hotel room and closed the door, was confused.

Okay, why did the issue of the Pope suddenly come up? Could it be that this person was planning to assassinate the king? Since the two were discussing the terms of cooperation, it was difficult for him not to have similar associations with the sudden mention of the Pope.

However, due to his inadvertent understanding of this aspect and not wanting to get too involved in the internal affairs of the Holy See, Wu Shuang chose to raise questions cautiously.

"what do you mean?"

"I hope that the two of us support the same pope, or you can name your candidate, and I will stand for it."

"Well, you don't think I can influence a decision of this level, do you?"

"Yes."

"I'm just the head of operations of an unknown small organization?"

"Yes."

"Are you so sure that this small organization I belong to can have such power?" After hearing Edmund's decisive confirmation twice in a row, Wu Shuang was a little speechless.

Brother, are you planning to rebel?

He didn't understand at all what kind of nerve this guy suddenly had.

But for Edmund, this question is important.

When he was determined to prevent the bishop's coup and purge the internal forces of the Holy See, he had to first determine what kind of pope the person who planned to cooperate with him wanted. According to the other party's pursuit of the logo, he could It was tentatively determined that the other party had nothing to do with the bishop who was planning a coup.

Therefore, he can take action boldly with confidence, and the subsequent matters will have to be discussed. After all, he has to rely on the strength of the other party.

As for whether the organization behind the opponent has this level of power, he has already made a conclusion.

"If you ask me what I think, I will answer affirmatively. After seeing A wantonly playing tricks on the Abnormal Bureau and preventing the Academy Intelligence Department from finding any information, just sending a random man can prevent the evil god from coming and kill the weirdo. After meeting the members, I am convinced that the organization behind you has this ability."

"Haha, the prize is over."

Wu Shuang did not expect that these things would have such a big impact. Even though he knew that it would not be a trivial matter, it was still a bit outrageous for people to mistakenly think that he could influence the Holy See's choice of pope.

Therefore, in order to avoid the other party proposing any unacceptable conditions, he could only express it.

"We have nothing against the Holy See."

"Really? What about the new pope who is about to be crowned?"

"It seems like the right decision, but we have no intention of making any comments and it is clear that the Pope will not invite us to his coronation."

This is to show that there is no conflict between the two parties, and they do not want to have too much relationship.

If the other party was planning to take action against the Pope, Wu Shuang felt that his words were already a rejection.

Fortunately, Edmund didn't seem to be such a crazy guy. After hearing what he said, he was visibly relieved and his tone became much more friendly, but the things he mentioned were not so good.

"Well, if you want to investigate something related to that symbol, then I think you might want to know about a certain bishop."

"As the person in charge of operations assigned by the organization, I am happy to know this, but can you tell me how this has anything to do with what I want to investigate?"

Wu Shuang sat on the sofa, raised his legs, and entered the performance state, and began to put on airs.

After hearing this familiar tone, Edmund gradually entered the state.

"Mr. Hermann, if you know anything about the Holy See, you should know that this bishop belongs to the reformist faction, while the pope who has not yet been crowned belongs to the moderate faction. The bishop is quite dissatisfied with the new pope and plans to launch a campaign. A coup d'etat and attracted many forces in the Holy See, including the Knights.

For the Knights, no matter what kind of family they are or the fallen, it is their job. It is absolutely impossible to put any cultists into this city and allow the power of the evil god to grow outside the holy castle.

You said that a large number of people from that group of cultists rushed here, but I didn't see any cultists or degenerates being discovered recently in the Knights' report.

This means that someone is helping these cultists. "

After hearing these words, not to mention Shikodi, who had been listening, even Wu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this matter was not easy to handle.

Edmund's words are clearly saying that the bishop colluded with the cultists, and this involves a fight within the Holy See, or a coup by the bishop trying to overthrow the new pope. No matter how things develop, if it is not carried out in time Control, the noise caused by it will probably not be smaller than the noise in Binhai City.

That bishop has already colluded with the cultists, and his actions will definitely not be small.

The plan of the cultists is to say that the throne is immortal, and maybe there will be another deity ceremony.

Adding the two together, there is a question mark as to how many people in this city can survive.

Wu Shuang adjusted his sitting position and his tone became serious: "I really want to know about that bishop now, a reformist, right?"

"Yes, the reformist, Alessandro, one of the most powerful bishops, ranked in the Council of Twelve Bishops, can almost be said to be the leader of the reformist, his character is hard to say." Edmund thought of that man After seeing the bishop's daily style, he was a little unsure.

Everything must be based on evidence, and you cannot just say that others are colluding.

Besides, he also wanted to be a deacon, preferably to a higher level, so even if he wanted to prevent the coup, he had to find evidence first.

"I will try to get that symbol included in the matters that need to be investigated by the Holy See, provided that it is eye-catching enough."

When he said this, he paused and then added.

"What you do in the black market is okay, but it's not enough. What's needed is direct action from the cultists."

"Direct action, right?"

Wu Shuang had already understood Edmund's plan. It was similar to his idea. He also took the initiative to seduce the target. As long as it attracted attention, the people related to it would definitely be uneasy. However, this direct action had to be faked by him. .

"Yeah, make it look a little bit like it."
