I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 300 No. 4 on the bounty list (k)

Edmund, who was kneeling on the ground and holding his stomach with his eyes widened, could not say a word and could only let himself be dragged away by his colleagues who rushed in from outside the door.

Vaguely, a thought flashed across his blank mind like lightning.

Everything is connected.

Why is there so much division within the Holy See? Why does the Pope ignore everything and adopt a laissez-faire attitude? Why does Bishop Alessandro cooperate so aggressively with the Knights, but the Knights never participate in any battles? , and really agreed.

Because someone really wants a coup, and their power is so great that the Pope is like a puppet, and the Knights have to cooperate with the bishop to barely occupy a place.

Edmund was being lifted up, his feet dragging weakly on the ground.

A restriction was placed on his body, depriving him of his power, and the holy light no longer protected him.

He had already been hit hard, but now he could no longer support his body, and his consciousness became groggy.

But that thought still supported him tenaciously. In a daze, he watched himself being dragged into a dungeon, and he figured out one thing.

It turns out that the reason why the Tribunal has been unable to find out the explosives planted by the cultists is that the Hub Hall has been helping to cover up.

And the damn complex structure of the hub hall makes everything hidden under the writing.

As for the idiot like him, he never dared or wanted to delve into anything deeply, let alone investigate the archives that had been put into the database.

After all, if something is really found out, there will be no way to end it.

But what he thought at the beginning was that even if a problem broke out, it would be best not to run into him. But ironically, despite trying every possible means to avoid it, he still ran into it.

In a daze, he saw himself passing through a gloomy corridor, smelled a disgusting smell, and saw large barrels placed in every corner. After passing a few more stairs, he was finally thrown in. In a prison, he fell on the damp thatch, and the smell made him gag.

He wanted to turn over, but his fate had hit rock bottom.

When he was imprisoned, all the extraordinary items on his body were taken away, and even the hidden weapons were found. Now only the senior deacon's robe that used to symbolize status was left, mocking his wishful thinking.

but.

It's not over yet!

He gritted his teeth, tightened his grip on his clothes, and quietly raised his eyes to look at the situation outside the prison. He prayed in his heart that his accomplice would never be caught, and at the same time, he would never give up just like that.

While thinking about it, he quietly groped for the secret pocket and tried to mobilize a little bit of strength from the restriction.

Wu Shuang on the other side had no idea what was going on in the Papal City. After destroying the task target designated by the hotel, he quietly returned from the original road. When he got out of the tunnel, he heard Shikoti say in surprise , all the Trial Hunters outside the hotel hurried back to the Papal City.

It seems that the civil strife in the Papal City has reached an uncontrollable level.

After losing the surveillance, Wu Shuang was not in a hurry to go back. While walking on the road, he tried to get Shikodi to dial Edmund's phone.

However, it was always out of the service area.

And things developed a little faster than he imagined.

After walking for a while, Shikodi said that he had observed that the Papal City was blocked from the inside.

After walking for a while, Shikoti said that the door to the Papal City had opened again.

After walking for a while, the Pope actually died, and the civil strife was over, and now preparations were made to elect a new Pope.

He sounded confused.

We could only follow the path and twist and turn back to the hotel, which took a lot of time.

But this time, he found that the hotel's attitude towards him seemed to have become much more solemn.

Looking at the old man standing on the steps of the hotel, who was the hotel manager and smiling at him, Wu Shuang was a little confused. Then he looked at the waiters behind him with lowered eyebrows and bowed their heads. He subconsciously looked back and thought. Did he block the way of some important person?

As a result, the hotel manager said pleasantly: "Welcome back, Mr. Hermann."

After saying that, he walked down the steps, stretched out his hand, and asked him to go inside. The waiters behind him also turned sideways in order to make way for a road covered with red carpet.

Although this red carpet had already existed before, Wu Shuang still felt a little scared.

The main thing is that, except for Jingyun's identity, he has never received any warm welcome when he uses other identities. It would be nice if he is not pursued. This is the first time such a situation has happened.

"Uh, what happened?"

Wu Shuang gestured at the situation in front of him and turned to look at the hotel manager in confusion.

The hotel manager laughed at this.

"Nothing, just to express our gratitude and to tell you that the hotel will always welcome you and look forward to your cooperation with us in the future. Of course, for more things, we'd better not talk here. Find A suitable place.”

"Yeah, I agree."

Although he didn't know what the hotel manager wanted to say, he still understood the general matter.

It is indeed not good to discuss the matter of sneaking into the Papal City and destroying evidence in the street.

So, he followed the hotel manager and returned to the club on the ground floor of the hotel, still sitting in his original seat.

However, this time, he found that the people in the club looked at him differently, and they all seemed to be very interested in him.

The previous female bartender named Anna even looked at him with fear when she brought the drinks. She didn't look as charming as before, more like someone who was afraid of making a mistake. The little girl, after carefully placing the drinks, quickly escaped from his place.

"what happened?"

Wu Shuang asked doubtfully.

The hotel manager was a bit dumbfounded: "Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know? If it is true, then I can only wish you good luck. If it is false, then your acting skills are good."

Hearing this, Wu Shuang had to smile helplessly, and then the hotel manager began to explain.

But it started with a rhetorical question.

"Don't you know what happened in the Papal City?"

Seeing the meaningful look in the hotel manager's eyes, Wu Shuang understood and quickly defended himself.

"You're talking about civil unrest, right? It has nothing to do with me."

"I didn't say that I have anything to do with you. Please rest assured, Mr. Herman, our hotel has no ill will towards you and looks forward to cooperating with you in the future. This is also the intention of the board of directors. In view of your excellent ability, we Change the transaction conditions stipulated in the original contract from being able to enjoy a 20% discount when using internal services after the mission to a 50% discount when using all internal services, and it is permanent and you can enjoy Right of first refusal and so on.”

"It sounds like nothing has changed." Wu Shuang complained, "Doesn't this all cost money?"    "Hahaha, Mr. Herman, please forgive me. After all, we are a group of businessmen, but we are really happy to follow You make friends.”

"I'm happy to have friends like you, but I still can't explain why they look so scared when they see me, and they seem to want to come and strip me naked to see what's going on?"

Looking around at the eyes that were watching him, Wu Shuang felt a tingle in his heart.

The hotel manager looked at the excitement and said calmly: "No, this is easy to explain, because the Holy See suffered a lot in this turmoil. Four of the twelve archbishops died. The Knights and the Inquisition suffered heavy losses. The Knights The commander of the regiment died in the battle, plus the assassination of the Pope and the assassination of the Grand Inquisitor, you are already famous."

"???"

Wu Shuang was confused: "What does this have to do with me?"

But who knew that the hotel manager gave him a look that everyone understood: "When did the civil strife in the Holy See end? When did you come back?"

"Is this okay?"

"Of course it's more than that. When you came here, you were chased by the Tribunal. Who didn't know that you were the person the Holy See wanted to arrest? But now, you, who should have stayed in the hotel, came back from outside, and the people watching around you The Trial Hunters rushed back in a hurry, which can already explain the problem.

In addition, the Holy See has also announced that you will be treated as a wanted criminal. It is believed that you are a cultist who deliberately provoked this turmoil and colluded with Bishop Alessandro in an attempt to subvert the Holy See. It also exposed your previous attempt to detonate a Alchemical explosives, blowing up the walls of the Papal City. "

"So, is this why they think so of me? Just because they think I provoked civil strife in the Holy See and killed so many people?"

"Not completely, because according to the news issued by the Holy See, it is said that you have prepared a lot of alchemical bombs underground in the Papal City. They think that you originally wanted to blow up the entire Papal City to the sky, but failed due to the strong counterattack of the Holy See. That’s all.”

"Oh, I'm so awesome." After hearing these words, Wu Shuang couldn't help complaining.

There are people who believe such outrageous things.

"So, are they afraid of me? Or are they curious about what I did?"

"Not really."

"Huh? Then why are they all secretly observing me?"

"Because they are looking at a reward worth fifty million, life or death."

The hotel manager said with a smirk, took a sip of his drink, and then toasted with a toast in a joking tone: "Congratulations, you are now the man with the largest bounty in history, and you are also the only living person on the bounty list so far. "

".and you."

Wu Shuang listened to all this blankly. Before he could recover from the shock that he had become the number one in the bounty order, he suddenly realized that, if he said that, his current situation was very dangerous.

Even the hotel manager opposite is likely to attack him.

Fortunately, after realizing the reason for his nervousness, the hotel manager quickly raised his hand to indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

"Don't worry, I will not be involved in this matter. To be precise, including all my colleagues and the board of directors, we will not be involved in this pursuit. Although the reward order was issued by them through our platform, Please rest assured that you can still stay in this hotel with confidence. No matter who wants to do something here, we will give the most severe counterattack."

The implication is that they don't care after leaving the hotel.

Wu Shuang heard it clearly.

At the same time, I also felt that it was a bit difficult, but it was not that I was afraid of death.

If this identity is dead, the worst possible thing is to create another one, but the problem is that time is running out.

Moreover, the coup in the Papal City is over.

But who won?

Thinking that he was a cultist, it seemed logically correct to say that he was in cahoots with Bishop Alessandro, as long as the bishop was what he and Edmund originally expected.

Now, the coup is over, but Edmund can't be contacted. What's going on?

Is the winning side still there?

He remembered that before hanging up the phone, Edmund said that he was in the hub hall and it was a safe place.

With doubts, he said goodbye to the hotel manager who received him, and slowly walked out of the club under the gaze of everyone's fiery eyes, dragging his tired body to his room in the hotel.

Finally, in the elevator, Shikodi, who had been looking for clues about Edmund, gave her answer.

"found it."

"Where is it? Can I contact you?"

He cheered up a little and asked quickly.

But Shikodi's reply made him frown quickly.

"I can't get in touch because where I found him was on the list of traitors just released by the Holy See. He has been arrested on charges of colluding with cultists, which is you, and organizing gang activities, etc."

"I'm not surprised that the Vatican found out about that guy, but he colluded with me? How was he exposed?"

"No monitoring was detected on my side."

"What's wrong? If he hadn't been exposed, the Holy See would have had no reason to arrest him. Besides, this misunderstanding is huge. I'm not a cultist, and their civil strife has nothing to do with me. And I really want to catch him. You have met so many traitors, wouldn’t it be clear if you ask? Let me go, those cultists are not trying to drag me down, are they?”

Wu Shuang analyzed it and felt that something was wrong.

Shikodi helped point it out: "What if the winning party is the one who really colludes with the cultists?"

"."

Wu Shuang was silent.

Only the person who wronged you knows how wronged you are. If this is the case, it can explain why after the civil strife was quelled, the Holy See still thought he was a cultist, because he was not at all, and the cultists also realized that , he is here to cause trouble, so I desperately want to deal with him and seal his mouth.

But if the cultists have already completed the coup and captured the Papal City, what are they waiting for if they haven't started the ceremony yet?

Or maybe there is another purpose?

Ding!

The elevator door opened, but he hadn't reached the floor yet. As soon as Wu Shuang raised his eyes, he saw the person standing outside the elevator door, who looked like a princess walking out of a painting. Then he didn't care at all that the knights behind the princess quietly held hands. With the movement of the long sword, he took off his hat and bowed gracefully.

"Oh, long time no see, beautiful Miss Sophie."

When he smiled and said hello in authentic German, the girl opposite also replied to him in fluent Chinese, but her brows were always slightly furrowed.

"Indeed, it's been a long time no see, my butler."
