"Why do I feel that you deliberately avoided driving on the streets over there?" Xu Qian questioned the driver's driving route.
"Sir, many streets in the old city of Paris are one-way. The old streets are too narrow. They used to be used for carriages and are no longer suitable for today's situation. However, in order to protect historical monuments, there is no way to widen them. Please understand. "
The driver's explanation was reasonable, but Xu Qian had his own ideas, "You take me to Lexi Street. I want to see some old friends."
Hearing Reike Street, the driver trembled all over and said hesitantly: "Mr. Xu, Reike Street is being renovated recently. Let's not go there. The residents there have also moved away. Your friends should also be there." It’s not there anymore…”
Xu Qian frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
"It doesn't matter. If the car drives nearby, I can just walk over." He didn't want to embarrass an ordinary driver. What was wrong would be clear to him if he went to see it.
The driver had no choice but to comply.
The car stopped at the intersection of Lexi Street. As the driver said, the entrance to this street was sealed, so ordinary people couldn't see what was going on inside. Xu Qian used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that Lexi Street was in a dilapidated state. No one was living there anymore. One-third of the old residential buildings on both sides had collapsed. The most serious ones were the shops he was most familiar with.
There was no renovation at all. There was simply a battle, and the locations of several shops he was familiar with should be the center of the battle. They were severely damaged, with almost no trace left.
"It's just a few phaseless monks, but the other side is obviously weaker and has almost no power to fight back." Qinglong didn't even raise his head, and he knew all about the battles that happened in the past while playing the game.
"If it's one-sided, how could it be so badly damaged?" Xu Qian didn't question Qinglong. He knew that Qinglong was not wrong, but there might be another mystery behind this doubt.
"Well, that's right. Two of the attacked parties still had some ability, and one of them escaped. Well, it should have been the other who risked his life to give this one a chance to escape. But unfortunately, the one who created the opportunity died. ”
died? Xu Qian didn't know who Qinglong said died, but no matter who it was, it was not what he wanted.
In this old street, there were restaurants, bakeries and tailor shops that he was familiar with, as well as a young man named Rossi, and Rossi's father Barre, whom he had never met. They come from the Royal Guard of Louis XVI. Barre and his team members were frozen by the Holy See. After regaining their freedom, they hid here and showed themselves as civilians.
At this time, Xu Qian's spiritual consciousness was unfolding, and it was easy to hear the driver's quiet call. He didn't pay much attention to it. The driver assigned to him by Jacques Filardi naturally also assumed the responsibility of the spy.
Sure enough, after the driver hung up the phone, Jacques's call came to Xu Qian's mobile phone.
"Qian, regarding Rosie, I think you'd better not get involved. It's very dangerous."
"Jacques, I wish you could tell me what happened."
It is impossible for Jacques not to know about such a big situation happening in the old neighborhood of Paris. Even the Special Branch in China should have received the information, but it may not be as detailed as Jacques understood. If the information cannot be obtained from Jacques, then Xu Qian will plan to obtain the information from Han Qianqian.
Jacques sighed, "Qian, you should know that the Rossi and others you met in Paris last time are related to Louis XVI's Royal Guard!"
"I know." Xu Qian also vaguely felt that this matter should be related to the identity of Rossi's father, the captain of the Royal Guard.
"Then do you know that the reason why the Royal Guard was so vulnerable back then was actually because of the Holy See?"
"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it."
"We only knew so much in the past. It wasn't until the battle more than ten days ago that we conducted an in-depth investigation and got further information. Qian, your friend Rossi and your brother Rene are not Ba Born by Lei, in fact, they are all children snatched away by Barre in order to take revenge on the Holy See."
This situation was indeed unexpected by Xu Qian. At that time, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Rossi's life experience, but after all, he was just an outsider who had just met, and talking about it was too superficial.
"Then who are their parents?" Since they were children kidnapped by Barre in order to take revenge on the Holy See, the Rossi brothers' parents must be important figures in the Holy See.
"Qian, the following content involves the secrets of the Holy See. Maybe your Special Branch also knows about it, but you can't claim that you heard it from me, do you understand?"
It was rare to hear such a serious tone from Jacques. Xu Qian knew that the matter must be very important, and he agreed.
"It is said that the leader of the Holy See, that is, the Pope, needs to perform a blood sacrifice every three years in order to increase his power. Regarding the blood sacrifice, many outsiders, including low-level personnel of the Holy See, also know that they think that the blood sacrifice is the Pope's request to the gods. It’s just a ritual of strength and peace on earth, using nothing more than some animals. But in fact, the so-called blood sacrifice is the process of the pope devouring his own children.”
"What? Devouring his own child?" Xu Qian was shocked. No matter what he thought, he never thought that a person would engage in a ritual to regularly devour his own child for a long time.
Jacques's voice was also extremely gloomy, "He will personally go to various places within the Holy See's sphere of influence to find suitable women, and then forcibly possess them, make them pregnant and give birth to children. If during the pregnancy it is found that the child is a girl, the pregnant woman will She will be executed immediately without even a chance to give birth. If it is a boy, she will be asked to give birth to the child and then kill it. In this way, the child will be raised by the local Holy See institution. Before the blood sacrifice every three years , the Holy See institutions in various places will secretly send children under the age of three to the Vatican City. Generally, the number of children raised in various places will be greater than the number required for the blood sacrifice, then there will be some boys who have not been sent away. These boys They will be kept until the next blood sacrifice. After the next blood sacrifice is given to Brahma City, the boys left in the previous batch will be slaughtered. Therefore, these boys generally do not live to be three years old. Those with better luck He won’t live to be six years old.”
After hearing such shocking and heartbreaking content, Xu Qian couldn't say a single word except for a surge of breath in his chest. No normal person would remain indifferent upon hearing such a thing.
He suddenly thought of a question, but it was a pity that something was stuck in his throat and he could not speak out. Jacques seemed to know what he wanted to say, and took the initiative to say: "Yes, Rosie and René are such children. Although their father is The Pope, but the Pope has no affection for them at all. On the contrary, the Pope is the most terrifying person in the world to them. Back then, Barre and the others lifted the ice and regained their freedom. Although times have changed, the Holy See has developed even more than Even when they were stronger back then, they couldn't do anything against the behemoth of the Holy See. Later, I don't know where Barre learned that there were two boys in the Holy See institution here, one was five years old and the other was two years old. They were both children of the Pope. So he had a desire for revenge. I think he didn't know that these two children were not important to the Holy See at all. Every time there were more than half of the children in the blood sacrifice, these two children were kidnapped by him. It was a very lucky thing. Maybe Barre also discovered that something was wrong later. The Holy See did not go crazy and ask them for people as he thought, and he was not a person who could attack children at all. In other words, they never I never wanted to hurt those two children. In the end, Rossi and Rene grew up under their joint care, and Barre became their father."
"So, the battle more than ten days ago was caused by the Holy See coming to the door?"
"Yes. Three B-level monks have come from the Holy See, and Barre and the others have no power to resist."
"I have a doubt. Back then, the Holy See didn't pursue Barre and others because they lost two children. Why did they only come now? Could it be that they haven't found Barre who was right under their noses in all these years? Waiting for someone?"
"We also have doubts about this, but so far, our intelligence system has not given a clear answer. Qian, you know that we only have conventional power. For the powerful Holy See, our people It’s difficult to go deep into it. Maybe China’s special affairs bureau knows more!”
Xu Qian didn't think that Jacques was perfunctory with him, but he had a guess that it might be the time when he and Qianshu met Rossi, and Rossi had no choice but to expose his identity. If that was the case, he seemed to It also has a certain connection with the tragedy that happened later.
