I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 299 Incident in the Hub Hall (4.3k)

Wu Shuang slowly walked into this dark office.

The chandelier on the ceiling was swaying from side to side, and most of the candlelight on it was extinguished. Only a few candlelights were left dancing. The room was neatly furnished, but behind the desk in the middle of the room, the Grand Inquisitor was leaning back on his chair, his arms crossed. His arms were hanging outside the armrest, and with the sunlight coming in from the rear window, he could clearly see a few traces of blood flowing down his face.

This was when he was shot without any preparation or without the ability to resist.

It's ironic.

As the Grand Inquisitor of the Holy See, he was also a first-class expert in the extraordinary circle, but now he died at the point of a gun without even resisting.

Wu Shuang put his hand on the corpse's neck, tested the pulse, and confirmed that the death was correct before turning his attention elsewhere.

With the information provided by the hotel and Shikodi's help, he was already familiar with almost everything here before he even came to the trial, including the people there, especially the Grand Inquisitor. Just by standing at the door and watching, he had already confirmed the identity of the corpse based on several features. Now that he was closer, he was 100% sure that it was the Grand Inquisitor and could also analyze the cause of death.

"This is no ordinary bullet."

After touching the head of the corpse, I found that the moment I pressed it, I could feel the softness and unusual heat. It seemed that something was boiling the entire head from the inside, making even the bones soft.

He subconsciously glanced at the ground around him, and then couldn't help but complain.

"Oh, I can't find the bullet casing yet."

"What? Really. Really the Grand Inquisitor? Are you sure?" Edmund on the other end of the earphone was still in shock and could not recover in time.

"I'm sure, and it was premeditated, and it seems to be your Holy See's own bullet. The guy who did it even picked up the bullet casing. He was completely unhurried." Wu Shuang has analyzed the traces found. Lots of interesting clues.

"I don't know what happened in your papal city, but the trial center was also attacked. The wounds on many corpses show that they were caught off guard and died in a sneak attack. Even the Grand Inquisitor himself, is also like this."

This is completely proven, there are traitors in the Holy See.

"Did Bishop Alessandro plan it?" Even though Edmund recovered from the shock, he still felt confused.

The current situation confused him.

The news originally received was that the Tribunal and the Knights were revolting together. Now, on the contrary, the Tribunal has not rebelled. It is a civil strife, and even the Grand Inquisitor is dead. All of this is the fault of Bishop Alessandro. It seems very reasonable.

At least it is more believable than being a traditionalist Grand Inquisitor who rebels with the reformists.

"But who can pass through the layers of protection of the trial chamber and have the Grand Inquisitor killed without any warning?"

Wu Shuang roughly deduced the time of death of the great inquisitor based on the condition of the corpse and the series of events that happened at the moment.

This will definitely not be before the attack begins. In that case, even if the gunshots are restricted by some extraordinary means, when the attack begins, someone will definitely rush over to remind the Grand Inquisitor, and then the Grand Inquisitor's death will inevitably be discovered. Inspection and flipping are essential, so the site cannot be kept so tidy.

So it can only be after the attack starts.

And this extended to many questions, such as why the Grand Inquisitor was still sitting in his office after the attack began.

Not to mention the central dispatching command, not to mention that there are no various things required for command, such as maps, manpower distribution, etc., not even a person to report the situation.

There is civil strife. For such an exciting thing, the person who sends the message back and forth is incompetent if he doesn't blacken the carpet. Even with modern communications, can the phone calls be stopped?

In addition, this is an internal fight in an extraordinary organization. As a leader in the internal fight, he is also a strong man who is first-class among the forces. If he is not on the front line to stabilize the morale of the army, what is he doing hiding here?

Unless there is something so important that the Grand Inquisitor needs to come back here to figure it out regardless of the civil unrest.

However, what could be more important than stabilizing the situation that is already civil strife?

The attack on the Pope has already begun over there.

With this doubt, Wu Shuang wandered around the room, and finally found some clues on the desk of the Grand Inquisitor.

The blood splattered on the table was incomplete, as if part of it had disappeared out of thin air, or in other words, the things that had been splattered with blood had been taken away.

It seemed that before he died, the Grand Inquisitor was looking through something, but at this moment, he was shot dead.

He conveyed this discovery to Edmund.

At the same time, he also said to himself: "Faced with the civil strife that just broke out, what could make the Grand Inquisitor turn around and come back to check regardless of the intensifying situation?"

"Is it information that can affect the situation?" Edmund subconsciously guessed.

Wu Shuang also nodded with deep understanding, but he soon lost his mind to care about this because there were footsteps outside the door.

Judging from his guess, the trial court has not found out that his boss is dead yet, but now it suddenly found out that his boss was dead, and saw him here, so the blame for the assassination must be taken again. On his head.

"Wait a minute, let's not talk anymore, people from the trial may be here."

He muttered, leaning toward the door.

On the other end of the headset, Edmund couldn't help but hold his breath after hearing this.

As a series of hurried footsteps came, the thick wooden door was suddenly opened and hit the wall with a bang. The few people who filed in did not care about this at all. As those who had just fought a bloody battle with the traitors, Members of the Tribunal, they just want to report the current situation quickly and let the Grand Inquisitor make an idea.

But before they could take a breath, they were stunned by the scene in the room.

The Grand Inquisitor was just leaning back in his chair, nothing more than a corpse.

This brought the chaos of the whole matter to another level. The members of the trial court who came to report looked blankly at the empty room except for them.

Where is the killer?

Already gone? But how did you get in?

And how did you get out? ? ?

While everyone in the trial center was stunned, there was a dead silence in the entire room. Only the wooden door that had just been slammed into the wall slowly closed with a creaking sound.

wrong! The murderer is behind!

Everyone in the trial center suddenly reacted and turned around immediately, only to see a figure rushing out from behind the door that they had not noticed at first. Without launching any attack on them, he rushed out of the room and returned The door closed with a bang.

"Damn it!"

Everyone in the trial house scolded the murderer for his shamelessness and rushed to open the door, but the scene that followed left them at a loss again.

Because after the door is opened, it is still a door.

"This"

The people in the trial center who were caught off guard looked at each other for a while, and even looked down at the doorknob in their hands to confirm that they had indeed opened a door.

But why is there another one? ? ?

People who did not believe in evil reached out and opened another door. This time, the scene they saw was even more outrageous. It turned into a simple wall made of red bricks.

The confused people didn't realize until they reached out to touch the wall that they discovered to their annoyance that it was just a wooden board with a very realistic painting pasted on it. “Damn it!”

The members of the Tribunal, who had been teased repeatedly, had successfully recovered. They broke through the wooden boards like bulls and rushed out. Looking around, they saw the figure who was running away in the corridor in the distance. They immediately didn't care. Duo immediately chased after him.

He didn't notice at all the strangely lush potted plant in the corridor on the other side.

"catch him!"

As the members of the Tribunal chased the figure and drifted away, in the corridor where silence returned, the strange potted plant suddenly started to move, standing up from the pot like a tree man.

Wu Shuang threw away the plastic branches in his hands, took off the vegetation camouflage on his body, and quickly ran towards the corridor on the other side, escaping cleanly.

Facing this chaotic situation, he no longer had any expectations. It was true that he quickly completed the hotel's tasks and then left.

Let Edmund know what happens next after he figures it out.

After conveying his plan to Edmund, Wu Shuang quickly rushed towards the hotel's mission goal.

On the other side, after hearing his partner's plan, Edmund did not object. Because of the current situation, he was a little confused. He had just escaped from Bishop Alessandro and had to go back to report the situation.

I hope my boss didn't die.

He prayed silently in his heart, looked at the hub hall that was almost in front of him, silently hung up the communication, put the phone back into his pocket and hid it.

When he returned to the hub hall, he discovered that his colleagues here had also taken up arms and started to take precautions.

This is not surprising. As members of the Holy See, they are first qualified extraordinary beings who have experienced training and instruction in the orphanage since childhood, and then they are deacons and clerks in the hub hall. A fight may not be as good as a trial. The guys from the Knights who specialize in fighting are not far behind.

For example, his immediate superior is also a strong man similar to the leader of the Holy See Knights or the Grand Inquisitor.

Once here, it's basically safe.

Edmund breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried and relaxed a lot, but he still walked quickly towards the bishop's office.

He also needs to report to the bishop on the internal investigation, especially to clarify that this civil strife really has nothing to do with him. He just went to investigate and there was an explosion. How could it be such a coincidence? .

Along the way, he greeted many colleagues and nodded hello before he came to the door of the bishop's office. He held the doorknob, took a deep breath, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"come in."

After a while, the bishop's voice came from the door.

After getting permission, he carefully pushed the door open and entered.

At this moment, the room was dark.

It seemed that because of the turmoil, to avoid being attacked, the windows in the office were closed, even the curtains were tightly covered, and the lights were extinguished, leaving only the fire in the fireplace flickering from time to time.

The hubbishop was facing away from him, standing in front of the fireplace, seeming to be burning something.

When Edmund walked in, he only saw the bishop throwing a piece of paper into the fireplace. Then he picked up the tongs on the side and began to turn over the firewood, trying to fully burn what he had just thrown. He didn't even look up, he just watched the fire quietly, burning the paper he just threw down.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

After the piece of paper quickly turned into ashes, the bishop finally asked.

Edmund immediately said the answer he had thought of before.

"My Lord Bishop, my subordinates are not sure. We just went there with the investigation order. Alessandro was still calm and composed. He had no intention of getting violent and accepted the investigation calmly. However, suddenly the Knights suddenly There was an explosion and then a phone call came to Alessandro's office saying there was a coup."

"So, you had a conflict with him?"

The Hub Bishop turned around and looked at him, who was in a state of utter disarray.

He had just fought against a bishop-level person, so it would be nice to come back. Not to mention trying to maintain his image, he almost died when he was hit by the holy light. Fortunately, his usual training was not in vain. He escaped after all. Come out, others are not so lucky.

"Yes, my subordinate survived by luck." He replied with lingering fear.

"So, Alessandro was involved?"

"Well, I guess I didn't plan it well."

He was also a little confused, because judging from the situation at the time, Alessandro seemed to think that they were the party to the coup, which seemed strange.

But Edmund suppressed his doubts and tried to ask: "Your Majesty, the current situation. Does the Pope need it?"

"No need, His Majesty the Pope has been assassinated and despicable traitors attacked him. What we need now is to eliminate the traitors and then elect a new pope." The Hub Bishop said calmly, turning and walking towards his desk.

Edmund was still immersed in the shocking news.

The Pope is dead?

then this

Before he could figure it out, the bishop had already asked: "Are you armed?"

"No." He replied subconsciously.

The bishop handed over a holster stuffed with a pistol and a magazine, and said calmly: "Okay, this is your gun. I took it over. Now you put it on, gather people, and go blockade Don’t let anyone in or out of the Papal City, do you understand?”

"Yes."

Edmund responded and was about to reach out to pick up the gun, but suddenly felt something strange.

No, why is my gun in the hands of the bishop?

Naturally, he would not be so idle that he took the initiative to bring his gun to another bishop for internal investigation. That was a blatant threat, so he always kept his gun in the arsenal, and even if the hub bishop wanted Let him block the city, why don't you just tell him? Why did you go out of your way to take out his gun?

At the moment when he hesitated, the Hub Bishop standing in front of him frowned, and took back the hand that offered him the holster.

At a speed completely inconsistent with that white hair, he punched him in the abdomen, almost instantly making him lose his ability to resist, and the gun in the holster was also taken out and the magazine was pulled out. Unloaded all the bullets one by one.

After doing this, the hub bishop shouted.

"Somebody come!"

Suddenly, before he finished speaking, a group of people rushed in from outside the door.

The bishop clasped his hands behind his back and ordered coldly: "Senior Deacon Edmund tried to attack and assassinate me, but I saw it through. Now I will lock him up and sentence him for colluding with cultists, carrying out gang activities, and organizing a coup." For traitors."
