Chapter 355 The Emperor's True Face

"Sir, could you please give me a moment to introduce you to our great Lord?"

In the early morning, at the increasingly lively joint, a man wearing a papal robe was introducing a few men who had gathered together to wait for their arrival.

His robe is embroidered with an abstracted sun, the symbol of the Golden Dawn.

Although the men gathered together were not believers, they also knew the origin of the Golden Dawn. They looked at each other, and one of the older men said slowly: "This, uh..."

"Bishop." The other person reminded him with a smile.

"Oh, Bishop." A look of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. Has the Golden Dawn now sent bishops to attract believers? It seems like everyone is having a hard time during this time.

He considered it carefully and said, "Master Bishop, we are just the most ordinary civilians. To be honest, we don't have much money to donate to the church, and we don't have much time to pray every day."

He originally said a few unkind words, but since he was a bishop after all, he had to be polite.

The bishop didn't say much. He just smiled and shook hands with a few people: "It doesn't matter, even if you are not ready to accept God's gift, the Lord will still bless you. The great God of Nothingness will always watch you, May you have a peaceful sleep."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly in the other direction, holding a fist with one hand against his heart.

There is the newly built Dawn Gate. Since the 'move', the Dawn Gate can no longer emit soft light to illuminate the whole city as before once it is opened, but it can still be seen clearly after opening the door.

After saying that, the bishop left here and headed towards where other people gathered.

When the other party walked away, the workers who were still there murmured: "The Golden Dawn used to have strict requirements for attracting believers, but if you become a believer, you can bask in the sun when the door is open... Now it is different from before. It seems like they haven’t had much new blood coming in during this time.”

Another person also followed up and said: "That's right, how could a person of the level of a bishop come out to preach in person before... To be honest, if nothing changes, I would be happy to join. However, now the statue of the founding father is stepping up work. , we have to go out to work for ten days a month...sigh."

A slightly younger person complained: "I could save a little bit in a month. I am planning to save a few more years to have a baby with my wife, and I will probably be able to save a little for tuition fees by then. Now, with this, a I have been working for a third of the month without any pay. Really, I don’t know what your Majesty is thinking.”

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately stared at him angrily.

The older worker scolded: "What are you talking about?! It is our honor to contribute our strength to His Majesty!"

"You kid, you are so insatiable!"

"That's just a few of us who are familiar with each other. If you were placed elsewhere, you would have been arrested and taken to the security station!"

Several people scolded him one after another, and the young man who just spoke immediately lowered his head in shame.

After the incident, the atmosphere between the few people was a little awkward. It was not until the foreman who recruited workers arrived that it became better.

After working all morning, the young man who had been scolded was in a bad mood and simply ran outside alone during lunch.

While chewing the corn paste sprinkled with dried earthworm powder, he secretly put the only piece of dried crazy beast bacon into his pocket. The man swallowed it hard and whispered in a low voice: "Originally, your Majesty does this kind of thing, which is a waste of people and money. My wife and I haven’t eaten meat a few times this month... We can’t save any damn money... What’s the point of complaining?”

He waved his fist unconvinced, even though there was only air in front of him.

"Damn it, let me work for nothing without getting paid. We are fighting on the front line. If you let me do some logistics, then I will be contributing to the army. Now what's the point of building a statue?"

He was cursing and eating angrily, but he didn't notice someone coming next to him.

"This gentleman..."

The young man was startled when the voice sounded, and then he immediately realized what would happen if someone heard what he said, and his face instantly turned pale.

What appeared before him was the bishop who had preached to them that morning.

"Lord, Lord Bishop..." The young man's face turned pale.

The Golden Dawn is the only officially recognized sect in the empire. You can tell with your buttocks that the other party pissed in the same pot as His Majesty the Emperor.

It’s broken, it’s broken…

Just when the man thought he was about to suffer, the bishop said something unexpected.

"Sir, you have many dissatisfactions and needs. Why don't you try praying to our great Lord?" The bishop looked gentle.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Are you just here?"

The bishop shook his head: "No, I heard everything you just said."

Seeing the young man's face turn pale again, he immediately added: "But I think what you said makes sense."

The young man was stunned again: "伱..."

The bishop smiled: "The great God of Nothingness casts his gaze on the world, and of course he sees the suffering of the world."

A look of compassion appeared on his face: "I can't guess the Lord's thoughts, but the Lord's teachings make me understand the suffering of all living beings. I sympathize with everything you encounter."

"Then, what does the bishop mean?" the young man stammered.

The bishop gently grasped one of his hands and said softly: "Why don't you try to pray to the great Lord? Maybe, you can find something different..."

"The great... Lord..."

The two walked towards the nearest church, and a new believer seemed to have been absorbed.

"That's it, boss." Black Fox said softly.

He led Sean to watch for the whole morning.

Sean nodded thoughtfully.

The young worker was not an exception. In just one morning, Sean saw that the bishop found dozens of people with similar situations.

Moreover, the bishop was looking for people in a similar situation. He found those who gathered together, usually small groups of five or six people, workers waiting for recruitment, women going out to work, and even children playing in pairs.

Every time, after he finished preaching, the crowd would politely refuse, but there would always be one or two people who would complain about the emperor.

Of course, those who complained were blamed by their companions, and often ended up alone.

At this time, the bishop will appear again, and after a few words, he will take the other party into the church to pray.

Seeing Sean put down his arms, Black Fox added: "Boss, after you said it last time, I asked the brothers to pay special attention. This bishop is not an exception. Many people from the Golden Dawn preach near the church, and what happened is basically the same as what you saw."

His eyes were a little solemn: "Because this is not the first time, in fact, people from the Golden Dawn began to preach a long time ago, and our brothers are used to it, so they didn't notice anything wrong. In addition, our brothers usually mix in the crowd, but those missionaries have never preached to our people, so no one has noticed this before."

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. He had basically dealt with all his men, from gang leaders to small leaders, all of whom had excreted black nematodes. This was Sean's way to ensure the "purity of the team."

Now it seems that the bishop of the Golden Dawn seems to have a vague ability to identify whether the black nematodes are still active in the host body.

Looking at Sean, Black Fox tried to ask: "Boss, because of the special nature of the church, it is not convenient for our people to go in. Do you want to send someone disguised as a believer to go in and take a look?"

Sean shook his head and rejected his proposal: "No, if the bishop has special abilities, the church will only be more special, and sneaking in will be discovered... Follow the people we saw today."

"Yes, I know."

At night, people who had been busy all day finally returned to their cabins and began a rare rest.

Today, the young man who was scolded by his co-workers and finally entered the Golden Dawn Church to pray couldn't help but tell his young wife what happened today.

The wife's reaction was not beyond his expectations: "Oh my God, this is discovered, you will be sent to the Security Bureau."

"I know, but aren't I telling the truth?" The man said a little irritably.

"But..."

Outside the house at this time, Sean, who was in the shadow world, widened his eyes in surprise.

As expected, after the man came out of the Golden Dawn Church, the vitality of the black nematode was greatly reduced, and it seemed that he would fall into hibernation at any time.

What was even more shocking was yet to come. The black nematodes seemed to be contagious to each other. The man's wife was not affected, but after talking and being intimate with her husband, the black nematodes in her body began to wilt.

Is dormancy contagious? However, the man's co-workers did not experience the same situation.

Is it because they are a family?

Living together for many years and having emotional ties, the connection between the two is indeed much closer in the etheric layer. Combined with the concept that black nematodes are spiritual creatures in the etheric layer, it is normal that this kind of infection only occurs between family members.

In addition, before being affected by the bishop and the Golden Dawn Church, this man had some subtle dissatisfaction with the emperor, which would not have happened before.

Or is it because the black pigeon prison flew away, and the prisoners at the source of the black nematodes moved away from the imperial capital...

This is easy to explain. Some people are born with stronger mental power, and their resistance to black nematodes is naturally stronger.

Before, the difference was not noticeable, but after the Black Pigeon Prison flew away, the connection between the black nematodes and the main body was broken, and the difference became apparent. Some people began to resist the influence of the black nematodes.

And the Golden Dawn seemed to be able to capture this... But the strange thing is, if it could capture this, why did it have to preach collectively when the crowd gathered?

And every time it was rejected... Afterwards, it secretly found the person in the crowd with stronger mental power who was already resisting the black nematodes on his own, and then accelerated the process of the other party, so that the black nematodes fell into sleep.

Apart from this, can it be understood that the Golden Dawn is now selecting the group of ordinary people with the strongest mental power in the entire imperial capital, letting the black nematodes in their bodies fall into sleep and infect their families.

If this is the case, according to the previous speculation...

Sean's pupils shrank slightly.

Well hidden, Cardinal Carado...

Golden Dawn, in league with the Emperor.

No wonder Golden Dawn can be the only sect recognized by the Empire, and no wonder Golden Dawn has not developed much in all these years, and is only confined to the Imperial Capital.

Wait, does this mean another point?

The Fourth Prince Bai Si is a student of Cardinal Carado...

In an instant, memories of the past flooded into Sean's mind.

At the beginning, he was able to hold Lam's handle because Lam stole the Emperor's personal seal and wanted to enter the highest level of the Imperial Treasury to get a treasure for Bai Si.

After that, all kinds of things happened, and in the end, Lam's nanny pushed all the responsibility to the Third Prince Bai You, who actually did nothing, and eventually led to Bai You being imprisoned.

From the overall point of view, Bai Si is the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing and the source of the whole thing.

Another point worth noting is that the Emperor has been running the Empire for so many years. Indeed, he has been ill and has no time to take care of too many things, but he shouldn't be unable to control even his own personal seal, right?

Elisa Lam returned the private seal but was not discovered. It seemed that the emperor knew nothing - but did he really know nothing?

If Sean had not participated in this matter, then it was Elisa Lam who took the treasure and gave it to Bai Si... Then, what if the seal was discovered?

Sean felt that even if he had not participated, the matter would eventually be pushed onto Bai You.

Elisa Lam was just a fuse, a tool who knew nothing. When she made her decision, she was always influenced by Bai Si and her nanny, and the nanny had always been Bai Si's person.

Oh, and there was the previous thing.

The emperor sent someone to pass on the order, allowing Bai You to be released from prison, but still depriving him of his qualifications as the third prince, and almost openly asking Elisa Lam to stand on Bai Si's side.

It seemed normal, but if you look at it in combination with the previous things, it would be interesting.

The emperor did not ignore these princes and princesses...

Golden Dawn was the one who really peed in the same pot with the emperor, and Bai Si... was the heir he had always favored.

Sean could not help but marvel.

The emperor's methods are powerful enough... However, there is a question here. Why is Bai Si favored by the emperor?

He is the youngest among the princes. Is the youngest popular?

However, one thing is certain, the emperor is indeed actively letting the black nematodes in some people with high mental power enter dormancy...

While thinking, suddenly, Noah sent a reminder.

"Someone is calling you, Saint Three."
