Before Bai Muqing finished speaking, suddenly, a touch of warmth covered the back of Bai Muqing's hands, and when Bai Muqing subconsciously lowered his head, he saw Li Yexing's expressionless face, and he shook his head calmly.

Immediately, as if realizing something, Bai Muqing quickly fell silent, and turned his gaze to Mikkelsen who was sitting beside him.

On the other side, Mikkelsen, who deliberately concealed his presence, still had that smiling face, as if he was oblivious to Bai Muqing's cold gaze.

"In short, as of today, every incident experienced by the wild dog is more or less related to the swelling daughter, and now, according to the information provided by the church, the deceased, that is, Li The bishop that Father Qi sent to Baghdad is the same bishop who instructed the purge troops to take radical actions in the Chunzhou incident..." Under Li Yexing's reminder, Bai Muqing successfully sensed Mikkelsen's little thoughts, and waited After coughing lightly, she continued to speak, and said with a cold expression: "To be honest, the coincidence is a bit too much, it's hard not to make people suspicious."

"There is no doubt about it! There is something wrong with that bug bishop in the red robe! He must be with that disgusting witch with a fan!" With an evil arc drawn at the corner of her mouth, Paracles stood directly on the desk, Gabriel at his feet looked crazy: "Call your Pope! Let him send that despicable bug! I will personally torture... interrogate him!"

"With all due respect, Beelzebub, this is public revenge..." Faced with Paracles' request that did not seem to be a joke, Gabriel said righteously: "If you can't come up with some real references for our work Worth of advice, you can at least choose to shut up."

"Huh?! Gabriel! Are you serious?! Are you blaming me?!" With her hands pinching her waist, Paracles condescended and said with a stinking face: "It's obvious that you shamelessly rubbed into a mortal What is the red-clothed bedbug hiding in the holy place thinking about?! What is the relationship between him and the dead magic stick? What kind of secret relationship can’t be made public?! What’s wrong with my proposal?!”

Speaking of this, Paracles bent down suddenly, her delicate face almost touched the tip of Gabriel's nose, and she grinned at Gabriel's beautiful eyes that showed dissatisfaction. He paused and asked: "Or... as an angel, as the Seventh Emperor, you want to protect that guy?!"

On one side was Gabriel's silence, his face was already ashen, but he did not speak out to refute, while on the other side was the aggressiveness of Paracles, because of her posture, her round and unavoidable tall figure was hidden under the black dress. Tilting up, Li Yexing, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help but think of their first meeting.

"It's just a way of avoiding suspicion. When a subordinate messes things up, regardless of whether they knew about it before, the boss will subconsciously want to separate the relationship..." The narrow and long beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, in the eyes of Paracles and Gabriel After going back and forth between them, after confirming that Paracles was just making things difficult for Gabriel habitually, Kobayakawa Miki said softly: "Although I don't advocate this kind of style, to be honest, I can understand."

Immediately, Paracles turned her eyes to Miki Kobayakawa, her eyes were fierce, as if she wanted to take a bite out of Miki Kobayakawa's dumplings.

"Don't look at me like that, Paracles, a cardinal, sent a priest to Baghdad more than ten years ago. The angels of the Cross Church were sold, which seems absurd to me..." On the other side, seeing Paracles snoring and growling like a vicious dog, Kobayakawa Miki spread her hands with an innocent face He said: "Believe me, if I am the one who wants to sell the angel, I have a hundred better choices..."

Speaking of this, Miki Kobayakawa paused for a moment before continuing: "Actually, I'm more inclined to think that the cardinal didn't know anything about what happened here. As for the priest's betrayal... .This should be his personal problem, after all, years of war and misfortune can easily shake a mortal's faith."

"My opinion is basically the same as that of Meiji..." Nodding lightly, June Xiang echoed softly: "During the ten years in Baghdad, that priest was probably bewitched by the swollen daughter, maybe , the endless turmoil and the missing leg in the terrorist attack, made some changes in his perspective on faith."

Not every girl around Li Yexing intends to hold on to Bishop Antonio's intelligence issue. This is undoubtedly a comforting thing for Gabriel, but when he thinks about the rebellious priest and the priest She couldn't be happy about the series of encounters she might have experienced during her lifetime.

Faith is supposed to be a watchtower built by mortals in the sea of ​​suffering, bringing power enough to overcome suffering in the hearts of mortals, but now, in this crazy land, faith seems to have become something else, chaos, Twisted, as if...as if...

The rising sludge and tentacles have stained a pure white statue...

Suddenly, Gabriel was slightly taken aback, as if taken aback by his own thoughts, but after regaining consciousness, he couldn't grasp the flash of thoughts, just as she subconsciously raised her hand , when she wanted to push away Paracles's pretty little face that was about to be kissed, she saw June Xiang change the subject and said with a masked smile: "However, compared to that Bishop Antonio and I am more curious about the relationship between the dead priests, Bishop Antonio himself, so, if there is a chance, I definitely hope to meet up..."

As she said that, June Xiang narrowed her eyes, and said with a gloomy curve on her lips: "After all...the person who ordered the pursuit of Paracles...is Bishop Antonio?"

"Fox tail sow..." Slowly stood up straight, looked at June Fragrance not far away, Paracles's cherry lips parted slightly, and there was a faint glimmer of light in her purple eyes. After living together under the roof for several months, this seemed to be the first time that Liu Yuexiang spoke for her.

"Really, if it weren't for that Bishop Antonio, how could the mere mere melon come to the heaven? And how could it be possible to intervene in the sweet love nest between me and Ye Xing?" Smiling but not laughing, he said: "You know, a woman like Dwarf Winter Melon who is so barren that she can take off a plane would not be able to attract Ye Xing's attention at all in normal times. It's all due to that Bishop Antonio who made Dwarf Winter Melon such a sinister and domineering woman." The vicious woman with a violent personality has the opportunity to show her pity in front of Yexing and deceive the kindness of Yexing. Therefore, if there is a chance, I must have a face-to-face chat with that Bishop Antonio. He destroyed my family and owes me justice. ..”

"Fox Tail Sow!!!"

Soon, Paracles climbed over the desk with hands and feet, and wrestled with Junexiang.

"Oh! The battle between two S-level witches! This is really a rare sight!" Seeing the scene becoming chaotic, Sister Klass' eyes lit up with an unconcealable brilliance.

"This is a reserved project in our family, and I would happily participate in it occasionally..." Miki Kobayakawa said casually with her arms folded on her chest, "Anyway, just get used to it."

"No problem, Ms. Kobayakawa..." Nodding vigorously, Sister Klass said enthusiastically, "Although it's a bit unusual, I will work hard to get used to it."

Immediately, Miki Kobayakawa raised her eyebrows and shifted her gaze to Sister Klass, who was watching the battle. For some reason, she always felt that there was something unspeakable hidden in the other party's response.

"Don't fight anymore! Don't fight anymore! Two sisters don't fight anymore!" On the other side, they couldn't understand English at all, and couldn't figure out why Paracles and June Xiang were suddenly fighting together , Chu Shiyao could only put on a bitter face, trying to persuade them to fight was all in vain.

"It's just... embarrassing. When I think that I'm going to marry the same man as these crazy women, I feel desperate for my future..." Putting one hand on her forehead, Bai Muqing nodded slightly with a cold face, and lowered her head. He muttered softly: "Really, I'll just die."

"I have to say, the relationship between them is really good..." I looked at Paracles and June Fragrance who were wrestling together, and then looked at Wendigo who was cheering for Paracles, and his expression The solemn, silent Gabriel, Mikkelsen turned his head, smiled lightly at Li Yexing and said, "It's a pity that this kind of emotional exchange is too intense and unique, not every man likes it." acceptable."

He didn't pay attention to Mikkelsen's teasing, but just watched the battlefield silently. Li Yexing didn't move until he watched Chu Shiyao pinch the necks of Paracles and June Xiang under his armpit while crying. Opening his eyes, he looked at Gabriel who was sitting opposite, and at the same time asked in a deep voice, "Is this Antonio reliable?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Li..." Facing Li Yexing's gaze, Gabriel frowned slightly, and said solemnly, "Although Bishop Antonio had an unpleasant past with you and Beelzebub, but In the name of the Lord’s Apostle, I would like to guarantee that Bishop Antonio’s piety is unquestionable, and he hates all evil and depravity, Bishop Antonio will never collude with the devil.”

Chapter-113. Talk before going to bed

Cold water dripped over the top of the head, dripped from the tips of wet hair, slid over the firm skin, and pooled under the tiled feet.

With the help of the light above his head, Li Yexing raised his hand and silently stared at his palm, only to see that the scab from the previous terrible burn had faded away, leaving only a shallow mark.

I have to say that Teacher Bai's medicine is quite effective.

Pressing the shower to silence the sound of water, Li Yexing pulled the towel and wiped his body indiscriminately. After putting on the half-hanging change of clothes, he turned off the light and left the bathroom with his slippers on.

The dormitory of the soldiers of country A was as noisy as before. Even if they walked through the entrance, they couldn't get rid of the laughter outside the door. Under the white light, Li Yexing walked straight to the single bed near the window. On the side, Mikkelsen had already changed into gray pajamas, and was sitting by the bed, carefully reading an English novel with a black cover.

Although he didn't pay attention deliberately, his eyes still swept across the cover of the novel without a trace. Li Yexing vaguely saw that the book in Mikkelsen's hand seemed to be called "The Silence of the Lambs".

"Very interested?" Sensing the gaze from Li Yexing, Mikkelsen chuckled and raised his head.

On the other side, seeing Mikkelsen looking at him, Li Yexing didn't speak, but just climbed onto the bed silently, looking like he lacked the desire to communicate.

"This is a very wonderful suspense novel. It tells a story about a young FBI agent and an ogre psychiatrist who was imprisoned in a mental hospital together to solve the abnormal serial murder case. The film adaptation of the same name has won I have won many awards..." Not caring about Li Yexing's cold response, Mikkelsen closed the novel in his hand, and said with a light smile: "My code name is taken from the psychiatrist in this story, although We are very different on the inside, but we have to admit that our life trajectories do overlap slightly..."

Speaking of this, Mikkelsen paused for a moment, and then slowly analyzed: "When we met for the first time, you didn't respond to my action code, and when you just looked at the book in my hand, you didn't respond. Hiding the curiosity in your eyes, and considering the contact during this period of time, I am basically sure that cultural entertainment such as movies, music and reading should not account for much in your life."

female horse!Even the countryman A started to mock Lao Tzu for being uneducated? !

Hearing this, Li Yexing turned over, leaving only a shadow of Mikkelsen's back.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and the work had initially come to an end. After arranging accommodation for Liu Yuexiang, Chu Shiyao, and Miki Kobayakawa, Li Yexing and Mikkelsen returned to their temporary dormitory.

Logically speaking, according to the past practice, the international joint investigation team should have been working all night, in order to promote the progress of the work as quickly as possible, at least should not rest early like now, but the key problem is that once it involves With the use of force, many issues will not be decided by the investigation team.

After all, unlike the last anti-terrorism mission carried out in cooperation with the Iraqi democratic government, this time, the entire operation will be completely led by the international joint investigation team. It can be foreseen that the strike against the ruins of the oil refinery is inevitable, and the next issue that needs to be considered is Only two left...

How should I fight?Who will fight?

Is it to use the advantages of military strength to directly blow up the ruins of the oil refinery and the terrorists inside?Or carry out an infiltration operation focusing on intelligence gathering and precise beheading like last time?

If it is the former, the operation should be carried out by the military of country A?Or is it executed by the extraordinary armed forces of the Shuicheng base?Considering Zaimam's confession, the swollen daughter with the pseudonym "Black Pharaoh" is likely to be hidden in the ruins of the oil refinery. Double problems lead to accidents. If it is carried out by the Shuicheng base, the preparatory work will take too much time...

What's more, whether it is executed by the military or by the Shuicheng base, there is an unavoidable problem. Don't forget that the monks and angels of the Holy Cross Church are still in the hands of the Holy Crescent Alliance front. Woolen cloth.

And if it is the latter, the difficulty and risk of the operation will directly rise to an unacceptable level... At least Miss Bai thinks so, when Li Yexing said that an infiltration operation can be carried out on the ruins of the refinery, Her hair is standing on end.

Of course, when will the battle begin?In what way to fight?These are not things that the investigation team in Baghdad can decide. Right now, there is only one thing Li Yexing and the investigation team can do, and that is to wait, either for new information or a battle plan.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Li, both Ms. Bai and Ms. Gabriel seemed to have mentioned that you had an unpleasant past with the Church of the Holy Cross when they were in the office before..." After a long silence , Mikkelsen said coldly: "If possible, can you have a brief chat with me?"

First he opened his eyes, and then closed them again. Li Yexing couldn't understand why Mikkelsen asked such a question that was destined to be boring.

On the other side, Mikkelsen seemed to have expected Li Yexing's reaction, but did not choose to continue asking, but changed the subject, and said with a slight curl of his lips: "Mr. Li, how much do you know about the Church of the Holy Cross? "

This time, Li Yexing reacted, ignoring the gaze from behind, he stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt aside, and covered himself indiscriminately.

"The number of cardinals, also known as cardinals, has gradually increased since the end of the 70s. Today, there are nearly 200 of them. They have a status second only to the Pope in the Church of the Holy Cross. Cardinals, It can also be divided into three levels, which are the deacon level, the head teacher level, and the highest-ranking bishop level..." Watching Li Yexing's back, Mikkelsen chuckled to himself and talked eloquently: "Of course, these It's just the classification when facing the secular world. When it comes to the extraordinary side, there will be a brand new level in the bishop level-the cardinal who keeps secrets..."

"Just like most military agencies and intelligence agencies know nothing about witches and warlocks, not every bishop from the Holy Land can see the extraordinary power that is close to them. , are qualified to know the existence of the extraordinary side, and the popes of all dynasties were born from the cardinals who kept secrets..."

Speaking of this, Mikkelsen paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "There is no doubt that Bishop Antonio, who is in charge of the purge force, is also a cardinal."

Accompanied by a soft rustling sound, Li Yexing turned over and faced Mikkelsen.

"How is it? This topic? Does it interest you a little bit?" Facing Li Yexing's gaze, Mikkelsen asked with a chuckle.

Without answering, Li Yexing signaled Mikkelsen to continue talking with his Yu eyes.

"Due to work reasons, the Shuicheng base has always maintained a high degree of attention to the Church of the Holy Cross, and will also have regular contact with the Holy Land. Therefore, I have heard about the iron-handed bishop who is in charge of the purge force. ..." Obviously, Mikkelsen didn't intend to be secretive. Seeing Li Yexing's interest, he chuckled while thinking: "Unlike most of the bishops in the College of Cardinals, Bishop Antonio was born in the purge army. In addition to his great strength when he was young, what we pay most attention to is his extremely radical conservative tendency. In a sense, he can represent the interests of conservatives in the Holy Cross Church to a certain extent... "

"It's possible for him to be the pope?" Frowning slightly, Li Yexing understood Mikkelsen's subtext in an instant.

"The gentlemen in Congress don't like the current pope, because in their opinion, the pope who was born in Latin America not only has very dangerous political tendencies, but is always willing to make public statements at inappropriate times. Inappropriate remarks..." Without answering Li Yexing's question directly, Mikkelsen continued with a chuckle: "You must know that the Church of the Holy Cross has more than one billion believers worldwide, accounting for nearly half of the total number of human beings. One-third, this influence is really too huge..."

Speaking of this, Mikkelsen suddenly laughed out loud, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "It's just that we are a little different from them. After all, the Water City base has always been a pragmatic one since its establishment. As an institution with the first purpose, my superiors once complained to us, saying that it is better to have a irascible old man who likes to preach heresy politics sit in the Pope's position than to face a religious lunatic from the dark ages."

Chapter-114. Off topic

Those who can kill people are often not feared by people, but ignored by people. It was not until he heard what Mikkelsen said that Li Yexing suddenly realized that for the Church of the Holy Cross, which stands on the land of Europe For thousands of years, he was completely ignorant of the behemoth that sent him directly to the dark side of the world.

It has been several months since the Chunzhou incident. Li Yexing just checked the information that can be seen everywhere on the Internet symbolically, and then left the Holy Cross Church behind him. Healed up and leaned on the relevant departments , coupled with Sister Klass as an informant, and the subsequent troubles one after another, he almost forgot the threat from the Holy Cross Church, and the golden Holy Spirit that was burning in the storm. Light, as well as his miserable appearance of being beaten so badly that he almost lost his life.

What's more, according to Mikkelsen, the medieval bishop who presided over the hunt for Paracles, allowed the muscular priest and the bewildered angel to run amok in the territory of the Celestial Dynasty, and was in charge of the most violent institution in the church. , is likely to become the next Pope.

Thinking of this, Li Yexing's expressionless face finally showed a slight change. With a slight frown, he asked Mikkelsen in a low voice: "People from country A, do you want him to be the Pope?"

"This question is very strange, Mr. Li..." With playful arcs drawn on the corners of his lips, Mikkelsen raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Your way of asking seems to have confirmed that we have the ability to influence the Pope's election." Same."

"Could it be, no?" Li Yexing asked in a deep voice, meeting Mikkelsen's gaze.

"Mr. Li, as I said before in Tokyo, you seem to have a strange prejudice against us..." Mikkelsen shook his head slightly, and said with a helpless smile: "In fact, although Congress has some complaints about the current pope, in general, we have maintained a good relationship with the Holy Land. We have no ability and no need to interfere with the internal affairs of the Church of the Holy Cross... .”

As he spoke, Mikkelsen seemed to be worried that his explanation was not convincing enough. He spread his hands and added: "Believe me, if we really have the ability to interfere with the affairs of the Holy Land, we would have done so long ago. There is no need to wait until then." A religious leader far away in the Holy Land is cursing us every day on social media platforms."

"CIA, it's useless?" Realizing that Mikkelsen's answer was not prevarication, Li Yexing said with a delicate expression: "If you want to support the bishop, you just need to kill all the competitors. Assassination, isn't that the CIA's unique skill?"

"Although I don't have any prejudice against our friendly organizations, I still want to remind you, Mr. Li, the last person who was put on the assassination list by the CIA survived hundreds of assassinations. Ten years, until the end of life..." Facing the question from Li Yexing, Mikkelsen chuckled and said: "They are just like us, it is just a possible way to solve the problem, it does not mean that they or us can be the answer to any problem..."

Speaking of this, Mikkelsen thought about it for a few seconds before continuing: "Besides, objectively speaking, tapping the church's internal phone calls is already the limit they can achieve, even if the White House is really willing to risk their votes." The risk of the explosion of the warehouse will attack the Holy Land, and the CIA really does not have the ability to carry out subversive operations against the Holy Land."

"Because, the angels and the purge troops?" Li Yexing said in a low voice, vaguely aware of something.

"That's right, because of the angels and the purge forces..." On the other side, Mikkelsen nodded lightly and said, "Unlike us who are always used to separating the secular side from the hidden side, being one itself contains As a religious organization with a strong mysterious atmosphere, the secular affairs and secret affairs of the Church of the Holy Cross often lack a clear boundary, and this is emphatically reflected in the security system of the Holy Land. Among the entourage, how many are members of the purge force."

Following Mikkelsen's voice, the dormitory fell into silence. Under the light, Li Yexing was wrapped in a quilt, silently digesting the information in front of him. After a while, he raised his head again and asked indifferently: "That is to say, the old man who holds the purge force in his hand is very difficult to deal with, isn't he?"

"About this point, haven't you already experienced it yourself?" Looking directly into Li Yexing's eyes, Mikkelsen asked with a chuckle.

Suddenly, Li Yexing put on a dead face.

"Okay, I thought I could get some information about you, but it seems that my careful thinking is going to be in vain..." Mikol Sen shrugged, and said with regret in his tone: "When I was in the office before, Miss Bai wanted to say something, but unfortunately you stopped me. After that, I focused on those things again. On the witches who are circling around you, expecting them to reveal something inadvertently..."

After a slight pause, Mikkelsen joked a bit: "After all, being able to fight over things that have nothing to do with work at the meeting of collecting information and making decisions shows that their thinking is very detached. "

The neck down was hidden in the quilt, but the body lying on the bed sat up straight like a corpse. Facing the smiling Mikkelsen, Li Yexing narrowed his eyes slightly. His pupils like dry wells were covered with a layer of undisguised gloom.

Country guy A, what did you mean by that just now?Say my wives are stupid?Preventing you from working?

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Li, this is not a complaint..." There was still a smile on his face, as if he had expected Li Yexing's reaction, Mikkelsen waved his hand and explained unhurriedly: " In fact, I have long been used to this kind of meeting rhythm, after all, it is almost the same in every office at the Shuicheng Base."

"From the very beginning, you have been fishing for me..." Li Yexing stared at Mikkelsen for a few seconds, and said without a word: "It doesn't matter to you what to talk about. You just want to keep the conversation going..."

Speaking of this, Li Yexing frowned, and said with a gloomy face: "You are playing me for a fool."

"Indeed, I have been trying to continue the topic. After all, communication is the cornerstone of mutual understanding, and I want to know more about you, but I need to clarify that, Mr. Li, I am not fooling you..." Facing Li Yexing was dissatisfied, and the corners of Mikkelsen's lips curled up slightly: "At least, everything I said is the truth..."

As he spoke, Mikkelsen folded his legs under the nightgown, crossed his hands and pressed his fingers on his knees, and smiled lightly at Li Yexing, "Do you still remember? Sir? As early as in Tokyo, I expressed my wish to work with you, because in my opinion, you are more suitable for our department than your department."

"There are rules in business, take the money of one family, and don't eat two meals..." Since his previous life, he has maintained a super high level of professional ethics. Li Yexing tightened the quilt wrapped around his body, and said indifferently: "You Save it."

"This is not solicitation, Mr. Li, I just expressed my opinion in a realistic way..." Contrary to Li Yexing's expectations, facing the rejection, Mikkelsen just shook his head, and then explained softly: "If If you've had direct contact with the CIA, you should be able to appreciate the difference between us and the CIA..."

"The CIA has very strict requirements for its staff. Whether it's appearance or figure, behavior or conversation, the secret service personnel will be required not to have too conspicuous characteristics, not to have an overly strong sense of presence..."

"Of course, considering the working environment of the CIA, these requirements are undoubtedly reasonable, but what I want to say is that, as a special agency with a higher level of secrecy and a certain degree of autonomy, our criteria for recruiting field personnel are the same as those of the CIA. The CIA is almost the complete opposite. Compared with intelligence workers who are good at hiding themselves, our field agents often have stronger subjective initiative, not only have a strong sense of presence, but most of them are independent..."

"As for the reason...it's actually very simple. Although the overall probability is not high, the more powerful a person is, the easier it is for him to match up with the witch and conclude a contract."
