"campione...the god killer...the devil..."

The minister's pupils suddenly contracted and muttered to himself, as if these three nouns had strange magic power, which suddenly caused a biting chill to surge in his spine.

However, everyone in the office didn't know what was going on, looked at him strangely, and developed a strong interest in the document.

What kind of top-secret information can make this political creature shudder?

——Can it confirm the information that when is the end of the world?

"Ahem, has the authenticity of this document been verified?"

He quickly browsed the documents in his hand several times, and the minister took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and asked in a relaxed tone as much as possible.

He rejected this absurd, blasphemous, and rumors spread from the devil heresy, but the trend of changes in the world forced him to face this problem and look at it "rationally".

Instead of taking the pale and powerless approach and attitude of "I don't believe it", "I don't accept it", "these are all fake".

"The authenticity has been confirmed. This is indeed the letter from Cardinal Antonio Tebes to the Pope's Hall in the early twentieth century, only excerpts from some of it."

The rash ghost answered honestly.

"But we can only confirm the authenticity of the letter itself, but we cannot confirm the authenticity of the content, so I hope you can understand it, Minister."

"I understand..." the minister nodded, then hesitated for a while, walked back and forth a few steps, and asked again-

"Why are there only a part of the excerpts?"

"Because there are a lot of contents of the original letter, and some parts have been damaged, and the management system of the Vatican library is also very strict..."

He looked puzzled and said carefully.

"In order not to arouse suspicion, our people can only find opportunities to deliver a small portion of the transcription information he believes is the most valuable."

“…”

“…”

The minister pondered for a moment, then said to himself, "Maybe next, we will focus our work on the Vatican."

Everyone looked at each other, then lowered their heads tacitly, agreeing deeply about this.

The Vatican collection is world-famous, and its library is one of the most famous libraries in the Western world. The early Pope Library also had the function of an archive. Unfortunately, its collection was lost in the 13th century.

The main collection is theological books, while non-religious books include art, architecture, language, literature, historical philosophy, mathematics and science and other categories... In terms of its depth, its social science books cover a little insufficient coverage.

But the collection is extremely distinctive-

Early prints of the works of Aristotle, Dante and Virgil...

And a large number of manuscripts from the 2nd century...

Sketches and letters of Michelangelo’s works…

It can be said that after centuries of accumulation, the collection has become increasingly abundant. The interior decoration of the library has not changed for hundreds of years, and many documents from the former Christian world have also been stored in it.

In 1994, the entire Vatican Library had two million copies of printed books and continuous publications, including eight thousand printed books 1,500 years ago, and sixty-five copies were even printed on parchment paper.

There are also 75,000 volumes of manuscripts in Latin, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Ethiopian and Syriac from the 2nd century...

It is divided into twenty-three special collections of 650,000 historical files...

More than 100,000 pictures, engravings, maps and prints, 330,000 Greek, Roman and Pope coins and medals and other ancient works of art...

This is definitely an unimaginable wealth, not to mention that the public data is already so amazing. If there are no secrets hidden deeper... it is really only fools who believe their statements.

But it is precisely because of this that it is absolutely amazing to manage the workload of those precious collections... Even if Italy does it on its own, it will feel that one is the first or two is the biggest.

After all, that is not a file that is saved on the hard drive, on the computer, on the server, and has many data backups, so you won’t be afraid of being damaged no matter how you do it.

It is a paper-based and precious collection of entities, and many of them are still isolated books. In addition, the material problem is a flaw. Even if you preserve it carefully, it will inevitably decay. The page turning is slightly larger, and the pages may tear the pages apart.

In the Vatican, a strange country with a little bigger booster than it, is naturally even more impossible to have everything.

I’m afraid they don’t understand what kind of secrets are hidden in their vast collections? After all, they are too busy with repairs, so how can they have time to slowly read those precious paper documents?

"It's a waste to put those things in them, and they can only work better here in Italy..."

After thinking for a while, the minister looked at the young man before and asked.

"How many people have we installed in it... Well, I mean I'm going to have the opportunity to get to those positions in the collection."

"This... the library is divided into five departments, the Manuscript and Archives Collection Department, the Print Book and Painting Department, the Cataloging and Use Department, the Ancient Coin and Artwork Department, and the Repair and Replication Department. There are 80 staff members, and we have installed at least two people in each department."

The rash ghost does not need to think at all, and answers quickly as if he is familiar with it.

"And although it is said to the outside world that in the late sixteenth century to the early seventeenth century, the period of counter-reformation, libraries suffered from the banned catalogues, and they only welcomed the pursuit of freedom again in the mid-17th century... But in fact, the banned catalogues still exist, and this is also a secret that our people can access."

The Cardinal's letter was an entry included in the catalogue of banned books, so they could not bring it out directly.

As for the Vatican's development of the eyeliner, Italy's conditions are truly unique. After all, the Vatican is a "national China"-

Located in the highlands of the northwest corner of Rome, the capital of Italy, borders Italy on all sides, that is... it is surrounded.

Catching turtles in the jar is a sure thing. No matter how bad the intelligence agency is, in this case, it can easily nail several nails where they need them...

"It's very good. Then the next central work will be carried out with the Vatican as the core!"

The minister made a quick decision.

Over the past period of time, everyone has been using Milan to carry out activities in an attempt to get a breakthrough from there, but they have never made any progress.

Although those people have not given up yet, the minister has long felt that he is definitely just doing useless work... Even if there was something special in Milan before, it will definitely be gone now.

After that amazing storm that was raging with darkness, it turned out that even if there were really hidden extraordinary people who were active, they would definitely be more restrained and disappeared... After all, everyone knows the principle of alerting the enemy.

But no one else was willing to give up, but he had already seen it through and was determined to change his focus.

Anyway, if you continue, you will not see any hope for the time being. It is better to first seize the clues you have seen, concentrate on following the clues, and get results from another aspect.

...

...

The nights in Milan are very charming... What a ghost!

Perhaps it was indeed a very charming city of charm before, but after the destruction of the previous dark storm, it has become a bit completely opposite now.

Although it is not said that every household is crying, it is obvious that it is absolutely not suitable to hold any celebrations, carnivals, etc. at this time, and not many people go out like they used to.

In addition, it is already winter and the temperature is extremely cold, and the nights in Milan are quite deserted.

Many stores are closed for a while to express condolences. Although they are not unable to find a place to eat, drink, play and shop, the atmosphere of the deserted street is really wrong.

So Miss Chai Ying and Qian Yan’s beautiful assistant returned home in disappointment less than half an hour after going out.

Compared to daytime, there are too few people on the streets at night, which makes them feel like they are shopping in a ghost town, which is very uncomfortable...

Moreover, those teams that could have easily hidden themselves in the crowd to protect them will become very conspicuous on deserted streets, more likely to attract attention and doubt.

In desperation, they could only sigh and return with disappointment.

At the same time, I felt more empathy. I just looked down at the damaged area of ​​Milan when the plane was about to land. Apart from scrutinizing the destructive power of the natural disaster, I didn't have many ideas.

After all, at the time of the incident, they had not experienced it on the spot, nor had they lost anything, and lacked a sense of reality.

Until now, they found out how much damage, pain and trauma caused to the people of this city, they felt sad.

"Sister Chai... Isn't this kind of thing happening in our country? I always feel very uncomfortable..."

When she walked into the elevator, Qian Yan suddenly spoke, and her little face no longer had the cold expression, but was filled with troubles and entanglement.

Without long-term plans, there must be immediate worries... As a member of a special department, she is very clear that this world is undergoing some earth-shaking changes that are different from the past.

The ancient power is reviving, and the extraordinary mystery is quietly spreading... It seems that an invisible hand is playing with this planet. Mortals are like ants, and the world has been firmly controlled by the real master.

After all, ignorance is the greatest happiness, and she has lost such happiness.

"this……"

Miss Chai Ying paused slightly, and then sighed. She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but found that it was impossible for her to come up with a conclusion.

This kind of thing is not something you can't say, but it depends entirely on luck. There are also terrifying existences that are so scary that they are not like humans, wherever they go, they are the end of the world...

Feeling.

This feeling of being controlled by others is indeed very uneasy. Miss Chai Ying suppressed the emotions in her heart and said calmly: "Who can explain this kind of thing clearly? What we can do is...that is..."

Qian Yan was still waiting to listen to her spiritual chicken soup, but found that Miss Chai Ying's tone was slowly lowering, and her eyes were still staring at some place.

She looked over subconsciously and suddenly felt that her scalp was about to explode.

On the elevator control panel, in addition to the twelve floors I have seen before, new buttons have appeared.

There are five extra buttons in the blank area, from "-1" to "-5"...
Chapter completed!
