Mo Jiangwen raised his head and scanned the murals on the church. Although he scorned these artistically processed stories, there was still some element of truth in them, and the fact that the person destined to return existed still left him with lingering fears.
Now he is no longer a young boy who has just entered hell. He knows very well how the hell that created them appeared.
Obviously, the dead Lord of Hell has not fulfilled his long revenge until now, and they are just creatures created by his last wish after death. If the destined returner really comes back as predicted...
How are they going to face Him?
This concern was raised countless years ago. The demons felt that they could destroy Heaven as soon as possible, and then they would no longer have to worry about this possibility. Mo Jiangwen believed that this was one of the strong evidences that the demons were not good at thinking.
The devils' views are relatively simple. They feel that those who are destined to return will eventually come back, and this is unstoppable. Even though scholars among the devils have suggested that there were several periods in history when they had the opportunity to threaten heaven, the devils only considered this as a threat to heaven. As a joke.
Because the premise for this view to be feasible is their cooperation, and it is only possible if there is a chance.
Mo Jiangwen is more accepting of the mainstream views of the devils. What they should do is even if they allow the devils to cause trouble with the church, they can also provide some minor help that is not particularly important, but in the end they still have to slowly contact heaven. , and make them and the church realize that the devil is not their enemy at all.
They have done a good job over the years. The current church leaders have regarded devils and devils as two completely different groups. This is also due to the fact that the devils have often refrained from direct conflict with the church unless there is really enough benefit. .
It is precisely because of their progress that many believers today can basically accept making deals with the devil. After all, they will not try to steal the souls of those who are destined to return. As long as they give enough money, the devil can realize their wishes.
What the church is most in need of is money. After all, they can always find "devout" donors like themselves.
He heard the scrape of robes across the ground.
"Mr. Mo." Bishop Fu walked up behind him and looked at the murals and stained windows with a pious expression, "Didn't you just donate money to us some time ago?"
Mo Jiangwen said:
"What I want to say this time is related to Chen Yun."
Although he had "proposed" to meet Chen Yun, Bishop Fu still looked surprised.
Because in the bishop's opinion, it was just a small favor he did to the church, and the purpose was just to gild Chen Yun. But now this matter has not lost its original meaning, which also makes the bishop wonder what he wants to say.
Mo Jiangwen said:
"I heard you guys were in some trouble."
There is a small obstacle to what he wants to do - Bishop Fu happens to be the kind of clergy who does not advocate making deals with the devil.
The bishop who heard this did not react immediately:
"Do you mean?"
He replied:
"Miss Chen Yun's famous brother is back, and he disrupted your original plan, didn't he?"
Bishop Fu's expression instantly became serious:
"This is a private matter of our church, but I didn't expect Mr. Mo to be quite well-informed."
He did not expect that the man who had funded the church for many years would hear about their desire to protect Chen Yun, and he did not understand that the other party would ask about it. This could easily be understood as a provocation to the church.
Mo Jiangwen continued:
“Even without mentioning what we all know he has done, you can see that he is not simple.
"He chose to follow Shenxiao shortly before she was defeated, and what did he do after encountering this incident? He killed the reality warper who wanted to prevent the truce between the Salvation Alliance and the Federation, ensuring that he could be safe Get out.
"He's a dangerous character."
Although Bishop Fu was not very happy, he still had to chat with this generous sponsor:
"And he is also a member of the Salvation Alliance. Although they have been disbanded now, this is only on a supernatural level. There is still a connection between these guys. This means that now is the most dangerous period for the Salvation Alliance since the defeat of Shenxiao. "
After this, they will only continue to weaken, eventually falling apart and turning into countless ordinary ability users.
Mo Jiangwen added:
"So you can't deal with him, and you can't go to other dioceses for help, not only because the situation is not that bad, but also because you know that it will make you lose face, in other words, it will hinder your future."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Bishop Fu's expression showed some dissatisfaction, but he immediately restrained himself, "You have indeed donated a lot of wealth to us, but we have already provided you with what you asked for.
“This is something within our church.”
Mo Jiangwen said:
"I can help you."
Bishop Fu refused without thinking:
"No need, it's just a small thing."
The devil smiled and asked:
"Really?"
Bishop Fu's expression suddenly turned cold:
"What do you want to say?"
The devil looked at him and said:
"Don't worry, but I know this matter is definitely not easy for you. I understand the way you handle things, and I can also see how much you value Chen Yun. Didn't you ask me to gild her?
"I'm just trying to come up with a deal that's good for both of us."
The bishop suddenly looked into Mo Jiangwen's eyes. A golden light that could not be seen by mortals burst out from his eyes. The hot holy light immediately flooded the devil's entire body, but after they dissipated, he still stood intact. In place.
"No need to waste your energy." Mo Jiangwen admitted, "If I couldn't deal with your third-rate magic, I would have been discovered by the sacred hunter two hundred years ago, so you don't have to think too much...
"I am the devil. In fact, I thought you had thought of it several times. After all, we have traded so many times."
Bishop Fu looked at him with guarded eyes and disgust:
"I've never made a deal with the devil!"
Mo Jiangwen nodded:
"This is indeed an outstanding quality in your church. It's a pity that you did make a deal with me. Didn't I pay you in exchange for the church's protection and neglect? It was you who allowed me to stay in the mortal world with peace of mind. between."
Bishop Fu looked at him and said:
"You concealed your true identity."
The devil shrugged:
"But the fact is that we did have a deal for many years. Whether you know my identity is not important to this matter at all. In the eyes of others, we have reached a close cooperation.
“I know you don’t like us, but if you open your eyes and look you’ll realize that your fellow citizens are trading with us.
"The church has become one of our largest sources of customers. Even your leaders are trading with us demons. They know far more about us than you do, and they are far smarter than you. They know what is right. Yes, something is wrong.
"Your concerns about us are nothing but prejudice. Do you dare to say that we are not your best allies in the fight against the devil?"
Bishop Fu said:
"It's just my personal choice."
Mo Jiangwen nodded:
"Then it's time to abandon your useless persistence. You can not make a deal with the devil and use your own way to deal with the problems of Ma En and Chen Yun. And we all know that you can't succeed. There will eventually be someone else. to take over your duties.
"Then you will become a loser, but now there is an opportunity in front of you. You should understand that I cannot tamper with the contract, and you should also understand that I cannot lie to you. I can really provide you with Your chance to fix this problem.”
Bishop Fu fell into deep thought.
This devil is exaggerating. If he does not handle this matter well, clergy with higher status will indeed intervene in the future, and it is likely to attract the Inquisition. This will indeed cause him some minor trouble, but that's all. .
He failed to solve the matter successfully, but this was not something he should have been able to solve successfully in the first place.
But he still couldn't hold it back:
"What are your conditions?"
The devil smiled:
"If you apply for assistance now, they will only think that you are unable to deal with Ma En, a level IV ability user. Although he has the power to kill you, there is the entire church behind you. There should be a way to convince him That's right.
"At least that's what the high-flying cardinals think.
"So you'll have to deal with Marn on your own, unless this is more serious than it seems."
Bishop Fu said:
"You want to give me a reason?
"But it just makes it a little more dignified for me to admit defeat."
The devil shook his head:
"No, what we want to attract is not those arrogant judges, but messengers from the upper world. In the eyes of the church, you have dug out vital information in a dangerous mine that is about to collapse. This is A very big achievement.
"The most important thing is that this is also a good thing for Chen Yun."
Bishop Fu asked:
"What is it?"
The devil took out the contract with a smile:
"If you want to know, sign it."
Bishop Fu took it.
The contract stated that the devil would provide important information and evidence that would allow him to get out of these troubles and win the praise of the church, but the price was that he would have to continue to protect Mo Jiangwen, and would not even be able to reveal anything about him and this transaction to the church or anyone else. exist.
Then there are some bits and pieces of information, basically confidentiality clauses and the like, which also include restrictions on the devil himself.
This is a standard format file.
"Very good." Bishop Fu took the pen handed over to him, "I signed it."
Of course he will sign it, because this contract uses a standard document prepared for professionals. The devil cannot be playing tricks on such a document. This is indeed a fact.
But what’s interesting is that there are many similar templates for more professional devils to choose from.
There is naturally a mystery to why he chose this one.
"Okay, then this is what I will provide you." Mo Jiangwen reached out and took out a bottle and some information from his arms, "These are the evidence in my hand. These can show that Ma En is in Eastern New State." What have you done."
Bishop Fu took the bottle and the document and looked down at the soul floating in the former:
"What's in here?"
Mo Jiangwen said:
"It is filled with the souls of devil worshipers. They are the devil worshipers who cooperated with the church in Eastern New South Wales. But you and I both know that it was a tragedy. We and you both died at the hands of the devil, and that It seems to be due to some errors in the magic circle."
Bishop Fu said:
"We are still looking for the guy who killed the man in black robe."
Mo Jiangwen said:
"But if you read their souls carefully, and follow the instructions of the file to investigate, you will realize that there is more to the truth than meets the eye, and that's when Marn was sent to investigate these things.
“And actually, I can tell you he was involved in that.
"And as a follower of Shenxiao, he also has sufficient motives. The whole thing is to prevent Shenxiao's prophecy. In other words, things that she will deliberately pay attention to and distract her energy will naturally happen. Send Ma En to deal with it.
"And there he made a deal with demons, and helped them kill angels, and...
“The good people in that church.”
Bishop Fu asked in surprise:
"Are you telling the truth?"
This is no small matter.
Mo Jiangwen nodded:
“The real deal.”
How funny that the bishop was asking the devil if what he was saying was true, as if he would admit to lying, when there was no guarantee in their contract that what he was offering was true.
Of course these are all fake.
But these are enough to meet the needs of the bishop. True or false has no meaning to the whole matter, and these evidences are enough to deceive the wings and judges.
His butler is an outstanding master of forgery, and the souls in the bottle do indeed belong to those devil worshippers. He bought them specially. The contents mentioned in the document are basically true, but they are only the final conclusion. Just some deviations.
Moreover, their process of forging evidence was surprisingly smooth. Every time point matched up perfectly. Many accidental coincidences could be explained by Ma En's intervention. These perjury can be said to be natural.
These coincidences even gave him the illusion that it was Ma En who really killed those angels and Chen Yun's former church members.
The most interesting thing about this matter is that the bishop himself does not care about the authenticity of the evidence. In his opinion, as long as they can help solve the small difficulties he is facing now, the price paid is only a trivial matter.
But the problem is that authenticity does matter.
It's useless if what he offers is true.
Mo Jiangwen's purpose was not to let the angels kill Ma En.
It would be best if Ma En died like this, but all he had to do was delay Ma En for a while. The final result of this matter is likely to be that although the angels still doubted Ma En, they were eventually forced to stop due to lack of evidence. .
As long as Ma En handles it well, they will eventually stop.
Then the matter would just go away—assuming he didn't interfere.
The advantage of that standard template is that it allows the bishop to keep his existence secret. This cleverly exploits the natural fear of mortals to expose their ugly secrets, and this creates an opportunity for him - an opportunity for Chen Yun to get a glimpse of the truth.
Then he will personally hold her hand and fall into hell together.
