Chapter 44 The Old Pope
When the sky began to gather dark clouds, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the Eternal City, and revealed the hidden sins to the world.
Before the alarm bell could ring, the monks guarding the main entrance of the church were kicked out. The members of the C101 team cooperated tacitly, and quickly broke through into the hall, controlling a large number of people.
The vice-captain among them was a believer in God, and he bowed solemnly to the center of the hall, expressing his apology for disturbing the gods.Suddenly, a servant with a gun ran out from behind the building and pointed the gun at him, but before the opponent even finished loading the gun, he was stunned by a burst of anesthesia.
"Just kidding, the equipment that is five centuries ahead, can't you fight a crushing game?" The deputy captain still put his hands together, and after bowing unhurriedly, he confirmed the direction of the right seminary, "Come on Two people and I went to pick up Xiao Yang, and the rest tied up these people and went to meet the captain, remember to take the cross."
On the other side, Xu Yang took two people and hid in the Pope's room.He took a set of suits suitable for action from the closet and put them on, and listened to the situation of his teammates in the earphones.From the beginning to the end, he pulled Xiao Yanchen by his side, keeping an eye out for the vampires who came to ask for help.
"What's your name? How long have you been in Leah Cathedral?" It was almost time to go downstairs, and Xu Yang finally spoke a second sentence to the other party.
"My name is Ryan, sir. I have been in the church for almost two years. I am a local." The other party was very nervous, and his fingers kept digging into his palm, and blood oozes out.
Xu Yang watched Xiao Yanchen rolling his Adam's apple, and warned the other party in a cold tone: "I advise you to clean your hands now, and don't seduce my people. If he loses control, I won't save you."
"Okay, sorry." Ryan was taken aback, and let go of his hands to allow the wound to heal automatically, "Please don't leave me behind."
Xu Yang looked at him a few more times, then squatted down and said patiently to Xiao Yanchen: "Later, you lie on your brother's back, if you want to bite your neck, you have to tell me in advance."
"I won't bite my brother." Xiao Yanchen tilted his head and said, and then quickly followed suit.Xu Yang touched the pony hooked by the other party, and snorted lightly.He thought of Yan Chen in the future, and he didn't follow the words twice.Looking at the innocent and harmless face approaching from his shoulder, he sighed softly in his heart: "Forget it, what are you fussing about with a child."
After coming out of the room, Xu Yang flashed his dagger.He waited expressionlessly for the nuns who came to step back, then turned sideways and said, "Ryan, follow!"
There were wailing and cursing in the stairwell, but not many people dared to come forward, and the few who were close were tripped by Xu Yang's sweeping legs.When they reached the bottom floor, the deputy captain happened to bring someone over to meet him.
Xu Yang looked around and said, "Put all these people in the Right Seminary, and leave their disposal to the current people."
"Well, we really shouldn't care too much."
Afterwards, the two sides briefly exchanged information inside and outside the church, and then rushed to the Left Seminary together.
All the way to the connecting arcade, Xu Yang looked up and could see the dark clouds all over the sky, the branches and leaves blown by the wind lost half of their color, and there were faint thunder and lightning dormant on the clouds.
Realizing where the end of the road was, Xiao Yanchen tightened his arms restlessly, and tugged at Xu Yang's collar.Feeling the change in the other party's mood, Xu Yang turned his head and gave him a comforting smile. He happened to see Ryan, who had returned to the land of nightmares, trembling like chaff.
He stopped and said, "Just follow here, don't stay too far away, just help us watch the rear."
Ryan was grateful, "Thank you sir."
The arcade was straight, and Xu Yang could see from a distance that Luo Zuo and his team were blocking the entrance and exit, and the naked eye could see the heavy wooden boards as high as two people vibrating violently.Seeing this, the teammates beside him rushed over to help, but obviously they still couldn't hold on for too long.
Xu Yang didn't waste any time, squatted down and put Xiao Yanchen down, and handed it over to Vivienne who was standing by the window.The girl's colleagues stared wide-eyed before realizing something.
"Listen," Xu Yang held down the gun in her hand at this moment, "If someone runs out and threatens your safety, don't be afraid, it's self-defense."
Vivienne understood the other party's meaning and nodded, and Xia Chen next to her also leaned over and promised, "Brother Yang, I will always be with Missy."
Xu Yang let out a "huh" before turning to Xiao Yanchen who was looking restless.He brushed away the unsuitable long hair on the sideburns of the opponent, and said, "Stay here obediently, and wait for me to come back." At the same time as the words fell, all the team members took a step back, and drew their guns to aim at the open door.
There was no light inside the door, and a disgusting stench erupted the moment it was opened.Everyone didn't need to enter to know the dire situation of the battle, because there was a person crawling on the front floor, still dying, his two legs were bloody and badly bitten.
Seeing that the other party was powerless, probably because of pain and fear and still kept one eye open, Luo Zuo sighed and gave a good shot.
It was a group of red-eyed vampires who bumped into the door. At this moment, they were afraid of the huge cross leaning against the wall, so they didn't dare to come out.The fresh air slowly neutralized the smell in the building, which restored their sanity, and it was not the monks in the church who could tell.
"Are you here to save us?"
The other party's words were fragmented, Luo Zuo looked at their faces calmly, and nodded: "Yes, please stay where you are and don't move, thank you."
Probably because it had been a long time since they had heard words of politeness or thanks, those vampires with terribly pale faces became excited, and some even wept with joy.Luo Zuo blinked, and after a few seconds, he broke away from the atmosphere and turned serious again.
Undoubtedly, the vampire won the final victory, and there were no living people inside. Luo Zuo tensed up all his nerves, and took half a step, "Where's the Pope? He's the only one left now."
Xu Yang also walked to the front with the silver cross in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and pointed to the ground in the center of the hall, "There is his crown."
The magnificently colored ruby on the crown reflected the dark twilight that fell in. At this moment, it was lying there quietly, but fortunately it was not stained with blood.Xu Yang walked over the dead bodies lying all over the place, and laid the crown flat at a leisurely pace.
There was a clicking sound from somewhere, and a half-length stick struck, and he dodged it lightly, opening the distance.The strong light was set up, and quickly followed the fast-moving person, but in the end it could only illuminate Xu Yang, preventing the vampire from getting close.
"Your Majesty the Pope," Xu Yang called out, and stopped his gaze in the direction of the stairs, "You might as well show up, we can talk."
After a few minutes, footsteps sounded from the corner, and the light that came in was much weaker and expanded, so Xu Yang could see the approaching people clearly.The other party's facial features are distinct, with edges and corners, which can be considered mature and attractive. Even though he is a little embarrassed at the moment, he still exudes the confidence of a superior.
"Who are you? You don't look like someone from the Eternal Capital."
Xu Yang smiled unabated, raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party's blood-red eyes and sharp teeth, and said, "Me? I'm really not a resident of this place. It's probably the person who came to kill you now."
The speed of this face-changing is nothing more than a flick of a finger, but the old pope has just escaped from the hellish melee, and has not let down his guard.Seeing Xu Yang rushing towards him, he quickly raised his scepter.
There was also a small cross fixed on the scepter, but Xu Yang was neither a rebel who should be executed nor a sinner to be redeemed, so when he took the scepter empty-handed, he was not judged by God.
After the old pope also realized this, a disappointed but excited light appeared in his eyes, "He is a child who has inherited the truth."
Xu Yang didn't talk nonsense with the other person. With the other hand, he stabbed the silver cross into the opponent's abdomen through the cloth.Immediately, the sound of skin burns and the old pope's cry of pain shook the eardrums very close.After failing to succeed once, Xu Yang retreated quickly, but his wrist was still clasped by the opponent's sharp five fingers.He decisively let go, kicked the cross aside, and then pressed the opponent's power point with another elbow.
The scepter fell and rolled slowly towards the wooden door, and a figure stepped over it suddenly and quickly.
Vampires are stronger than ordinary people. If they are bitten, ordinary people will lose strength quickly.Luo Zuo knew that Xu Yang was not good at melee combat, so when he saw the two started to wrestle together, he ran over.
He saw the right moment, bypassing the old pope's arm and strangling him.After several strong collisions of force, the old pope let go of Xu Yang, who broke free immediately, picked up the silver cross on the ground and rushed back.
This time, Xu Yang aimed at the weak throat.
The old pope's eyes were open, his extremely bent arms stopped the descending cross, and his ferocious face squeezed out a final tone: "Lachesis, I have raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay..."
He didn't finish his sentence, because out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of another long-haired girl setting up a crossbow.Beside her, a boy got his scepter, and behind the two of them, the person he was most familiar with turned his back to him and left calmly.
After a few breaths, there was a whistling sound, and the slender cross pierced into the shoulder blade, emitting a plume of black smoke.Xu Yang followed closely, and slashed the old pope's throat with the silverware in his hand, and saw blood.
The first thunder finally fell from between the clouds, and the old Pope was panting on his back, with his hands folded on his chest.At the moment when he was finally attacked by vampires, he only recalled the moment when he was bowed down by thousands of people, his lifelong pursuit.
After a long time, the team member found a light that could be turned on outside the restaurant. He opened the door of the restaurant by the way, and saw the twisted flesh and blood and the overturned medical equipment inside.Thinking that all their meals will come from here 50 years later, he couldn't help but hold the door frame and feel nauseated.After a while, he asked Luo Zuo for instructions: "Captain, what should we do with these corpses?"
"Cremate at high temperature." After Luo Zuo finished speaking, he handed a paper handkerchief to Xu Yang whose face was splashed with blood, "Wipe it off, and then we can negotiate terms with the prince, and we should go."
Xu Yang paused for a while before answering, "Yes, I know." Afterwards, he wiped off the blood on his cheeks, took off his outermost clothes, and walked towards the connecting arcade.
There, Xiao Yanchen was leaning on the window sill, watching the good night outside, the wind was blowing and the rain was falling.
