I kill gods in my dream

Chapter 302 The temptation of number one on the bounty list (4.1k)

When Wu Shuang heard the news, he immediately sat up from the bed.

There is no other reason than that this news is really strange and also very crucial.

You've been arrested, but you can still make phone calls. Are you kidding me?

Shikodi also felt strange: "I haven't found his signal before, but it suddenly appeared just now. He was still in the Papal City. Maybe he hid his phone in some way. I just called his phone. The camera footage is really in prison, but the location is not in the trial court."

"It seems that he hasn't given up yet." Wu Shuang took the phone and clicked the connect button.

If it is possible to make sure that Edmund is not being forced to contact him under control, then it is not impossible to determine the current situation in the Papal City.

Compared to him, an outsider who quietly slipped away before the coup was over.

Edmund, a guy who was in the middle of the game, went through the entire process, and was tricked by others, must know more than him.

"How is the situation? Lord Edmund."

"Oh, are you laughing at me? Mr. Hermann,"

In the dungeon, Edmund struggled to smile. Although the people across from him couldn't see it, it was more of a self-deprecation.

He knew very well that his misjudgment in the whole matter had led to extremely serious consequences.

Being caught up in the situation and not knowing what was going on, he happened to meet Herman who was tracking down the cultists, and then successfully led Herman astray. The two of them started to work confidently, and just when they thought they were about to find out the traitor, But he didn't expect that he was making a wedding dress for the real traitor.

So now, he has become a prisoner, and even if Gehrman escapes from the Papal City, the situation may not be easy.

He was not interrogated, which already explained Hermann's situation. At least the traces were known, and his life could be in danger at any time.

Even apart from these troubles, as a senior deacon of the church, he also knows very well what will happen if a major failure occurs in a tightly structured organization.

"I apologize to you for underestimating the complexity of the situation in the Holy See. It is the bishop of the Hub Hall who wants the coup. Only with the help of the Hub Hall, it is possible for the cultists to evade the investigation of the Tribunal many times. The Inquisitor would be killed without any defense, and for this reason, no one would have thought that the Hub Bishop, a die-hard traditionalist, would suddenly kill the Grand Inquisitor, who was also a traditionalist.

The hub bishop chose to take action at this moment. It is very likely that the reformists and the pope are aware that someone in the Holy See is colluding with the cultists, and have even investigated a little bit. The Grand Inquisitor may have found some evidence. He was just killed. When I was reporting back, I saw the Hub Bishop burning something, maybe he got it from the Grand Inquisitor, and my gun was used as a murder weapon."

After listening to Edmund's guess, Wu Shuang roughly figured out the current situation.

In other words, they accidentally participated in a game within a game and were misled to the wrong target.

He was led astray by Edmund, and Edmund was in the hub hall and did not notice this situation at all. He was misled into thinking that another bishop was the one who wanted to launch a coup. In fact, they were just taking precautions. The hub hall staged a coup.

Their actions intensified the situation within the Holy See to the point of becoming tense.

Even the Knights almost took over the Holy See. It was a pity that the pope, as a centrist, had not figured out at the beginning who wanted to cause trouble between the two factions at war with each other. He could only continue to fight to balance the forces of the two sides. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't have gotten to this point.

When the Hub Bishop saw that the situation was not good, not only was he in danger of being exposed, but also that the enemy faction was planning to overturn the chessboard, he decided to take the initiative.

As a result, they happened to be in the middle of action this time and were used as scapegoats and shields.

The real culprit is now about to be crowned.

But the only two of them who realized what was happening, one was a prisoner waiting for death, and the other was a fugitive with a reward on his head.

I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to make a comeback.

First of all, morally speaking, they have been labeled as evil villains, and they are completely unreasonable, without even a bit of useful evidence.

Secondly, the gap in the overall strength of the two sides is also quite like an egg hitting a stone.

"We have to find evidence to prove it."

"That's a bit difficult. As the hub bishop, he understands the importance of written documents. He will definitely not leave any clues about colluding with cultists."

Edmund smiled sadly.

Wu Shuang asked doubtfully: "If he didn't leave any recorded evidence, what did the Grand Inquisitor find that made him want to kill? If it was just some past investigation records, then what had happened for so long? There is no decisive result, so there is no need for him to take such a big risk, right?"

"possible."

Hearing this speculation, Edmund also frowned, and his hazy mind tried his best to think of anything else in the Inquisition that the Hub Bishop must destroy.

Suddenly, a possibility that made his hair stand on end crossed his mind.

"Maybe it's his personal file. The Trial House contains information about all members of the Holy See. From the moment he entered the Holy See, the Trial House has been constantly reviewing everyone's loyalty. The review record of the hub bishop should be from a long time ago. , the Grand Inquisitor probably just thought something was wrong, so he took it out to check, but he didn't expect that something was wrong.

By the way, I remembered that before each bishop was elected, he was responsible for a local priest. At the beginning, the hub bishop seemed to be the local priest. "

Hearing this, Wu Shuang immediately realized the possibility.

Maybe that person was not a traitor in the first place, but a cultist who had entered the Holy See. This made things more serious.

After all, if he is just a traitor, he is still a member of the Holy See. The purpose of seizing power is to control the Holy See. There is no reason to excessively damage the power of the Holy See. Cooperation with cultists is also seemingly incompatible. Maybe at the moment of success, He began to plan how to eradicate the cultists.

But it would be great fun if the person in charge was a cultist.

He blinked his eyes, scratched his head, and said hesitantly: "Okay, now we have to discuss whether the power within the Holy See has been seized by most of the cultists and occupy the bird's nest, or whether it has been coaxed and coerced by a small number of cultists. Well, from an outside perspective, the Holy See is still the original Holy See, and it has also dealt with the traitors who colluded with the cult, but the losses were a bit heavy."

"Well, the same should be true within the Holy See."

Edmund thought for a moment and carefully came to a conclusion.

"Only a small number of people are really related to the cultists. The other members of the Holy See are still kept in the dark and mistakenly believe that this is just a struggle between the two factions. Moreover, when the hub bishop arrested me, he still They are using my excuse of colluding with the cultists to frame me to assassinate him.”

"It seems that things are not desperate yet. The cultists must be planning something by carrying out such a big action. As long as they are exposed, they may be able to make a comeback."

"But I'm in prison and can't help you."

Edmund said with a wry smile.

This thing seemed too difficult. Even if Gehrman found out about this situation and chose to give up after suffering such a big loss, he wouldn't be surprised.

Stop the loss in time.

But now he was pointing at Gehrman to save his life, and if this matter was not resolved and the cultists were allowed to act recklessly, the Holy See would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Everything will depend on Gelman's choice.

"It's okay, aren't they just cultists? I don't like to suffer losses. If I don't kill them all, I'm sorry for taking such a big blame." Wu Shuang said calmly: "You stay inside first, I will think about it. There’s a way.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He doesn't mind saving Edmund. If he can find evidence, then Edmund will be a rare hero in overturning the case. It is not impossible to go further. The most important thing is that his life-saving grace, But it's a huge favor, and if the case is overturned,

As long as Edmund is still alive, he will have a firm supporter in the Holy See.

But now, he had to figure out what the cultists planned to do.

While he was frowning and thinking.

In the earphones, Shikodi said hesitantly:

"I seem to have made a discovery here."

"explain?"

"Do you still remember the gang black market you went to destroy when you first came here? You left one alive to let the news spread."

"Remember, what happened?"

"The guy who survived suddenly called the leader of the gang and said that he remembered seeing the mark you left at that time." In the computer room, Shikodi's petite body projected stood in front of the screen with fingers flying. It jumped on the screen, calling up information about one person after another, as well as surveillance pictures from one place after another.

Wu Shuang naturally didn't know this, he already knew the follow-up.

"Then what? Where did he see it?"

"I didn't say, the gang leader asked him to meet for an interview."

She frowned and said with a serious expression: "If they are deliberately on guard, I may not be able to monitor the content of their interviews. For a gang like this, it is not bad for surveillance. Moreover, I have to remind you. "

As Shikodi spoke, she clicked on the screen to transmit a surveillance image to the screen of her mobile phone, allowing Wu Shuang to see it clearly.

"Your previous actions did have an effect. The gang dispatched a lot of people to investigate the issues related to that sign. The good news is that it was found, and the bad news is that it was also found."

On the surveillance screen, a gangster was in a deserted park, holding a mobile phone and complaining to his companions using the photos he took.

Originally, the two of them were like friends, and they were both complaining that their jobs were not easy. But as they were talking, when the gangster took out his mobile phone and wanted to confirm that his words were not false, his companion just glanced at them. , the expression changed.

The gangster also discovered this and immediately asked in surprise.

It's a pity, that gangster shouldn't talk too much.

The companion who was questioned and had nothing to say suddenly changed from his previous friendly and friendly attitude, pinned the gangster firmly to the ground, and punched his head until it was bloody and bloody.

After doing all this, he panted, took out something like a rune stone from his body and crushed it.

At the end of the video, the assailant glances at the camera and then picks up the stone.

Wu Shuang twitched his lips as he watched the video go dark.

"This happened a few minutes ago. I didn't monitor any relevant communication content after that. They may have used some secret words, or they simply didn't use modern equipment to communicate." Shikodi reminded: "The cultists We also found out that the gang is investigating them, but we probably don’t know yet that there are people in the gang who know things related to the logo, so maybe there won’t be too many troubles.”

"But for that possible clue, I still have to make a trip."

"you sure?"

"determine."

Wu Shuang got up from the bed and began to arrange his clothes and various props.

He has not forgotten that he is now number one on the bounty list. If he goes out, I don't know how many people will want his life. If he is not prepared, he may not be able to escape even a street.

"Give me his place."

"He's on his way to a nightclub, which belongs to the gang. It's three and a half kilometers away from you, and he'll be there in ten minutes."

Looking at the route map displayed on his phone, Wu Shuang tied up his tie and sighed: "This will definitely take more than ten minutes."

"You can work hard." Shikodi teased.

At this juncture, it can have a relaxing effect.

He did smile, put on his windbreaker, and walked out leisurely, wandering from the stairs to the hotel lobby.

At night, in the lobby, although the lights were still bright, there was no one there, only the hotel manager sitting at the front desk, flipping through the ledgers.

In the entire hotel lobby, apart from the sound of turning pages in the ledger, the only sound left was his striding footsteps.

"Mr. Hermann, it's so late and you don't want to rest?"

When he walked to the aisle in the middle of the lobby and was walking towards the hotel door, the hotel manager asked without looking up.

Wu Shuang turned his head and met his raised eyes, seeing the interest in them.

"It's a bit of a personal matter," he replied with a smile.

"Oh, it's a private matter, so I won't ask any more questions. I just want to confirm, Mr. Hermann, are you ready? Fifty million is a huge amount."

"Well, with this price, it's still worthy of me."

After taking off his hat with a smile, he walked out of the hotel door, stood on the steps, and looked around at the silent streets.

At dusk, the streets were deserted, with only a few street lamps emitting dim light. Many cars were parked on both sides of the road, and the evening breeze brought a cool breeze.

Shikodi's voice also came through the earphones.

"Five minutes left."

"Well, besides this, is there anything else you need to tell me?"

"I don't think I need to say the rest. You should also understand. There are actually a lot of signals around. The moment you came out, seventeen calls were made, and now this number is still rising. "

"Okay, it looks like the fun is about to begin~"

Wu Shuang said, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked down the steps of the hotel.
