Chapter 923 Strong 64 votes

The reason why I can't stand this stimulation is because everyone doesn't want Lin Zixian to be the pope, so when you see Bishop Caesar's votes leading the way and leaving everyone else far behind, you can imagine how nervous he is.

Every time a vote is added, everyone feels more pressure, and one by one, which makes everyone feel a little suffocated, for fear of breaking through the bottom line of 79 votes to be elected.

Fortunately, when the sixty-four votes arrived, they stopped again, and all the votes had been counted. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was a little strange. Why did there be another sixty-four votes? Why did such strange things happen in this election?

Thomas, who was sweating in his palm, also felt strange. He had been paying close attention to the election process and did not find any possibility of cheating, and it was impossible to cheat in this case.

Lin Zixian smiled bitterly on his face. It seemed that a group of people really didn't want me to be elected, but there was no extra vote... If others knew about this idea, they would definitely criticize him for his face. You have the highest vote and said that everyone doesn't want you to be elected. Is there any reason for it?

Among all the voters, Agassi felt deeply sorry. He received such a high vote, only fifteen votes left!

After review by the amendment officer, it was confirmed that there was no problem with the previous ballots. This time, the number of votes was narrowed down again, and there were only eleven people.

Pope Ceremony President Daniel announced loudly: "One hundred and eighteen cardinals voted, no one received more than two-thirds of the majority, and the next round of elections will begin again."

The rolling black smoke from the Sistine Chapel once again proved the result of the election. The knife standing on the square with her hands on her hips began to curse, "It's paralyzed, you are not as verbose as you are when you choose animals and beasts. It's so fucking torment."

"I deserve it, but no one keeps you." Shang Wen, who was lazy in the tent, said contempt and continued to suck the straw and drink beautifully. Her hair was messy and she was almost crazy, but she was also lying there leisurely and found that it was good to live such a life occasionally.

In the chapel, blank ballots were issued again, and the ballots were filled in again, and the voting was sworn again. After receiving the first ballot, examiner C was speechless again, puzzled for a while and announced loudly again: "Caesar!"

There was a slight commotion at the scene, and many people's eyes were full of incredibleness. Thomas took a deep breath and said loudly: "Silent!"

After the unified vote was completed, everyone's eyes were a little dazed. Bishop Caesar still had sixty-four votes, still far ahead of others. The number of voters who received the votes was reduced by one, and it turned into ten.

The two rounds of elections in the morning ended in a silent atmosphere. When the show ended, everyone looked at Lin Zixian with a complicated look. Thomas frowned and stared at Lin Zixian's departure back, and his expression was also very complicated.

The rolling black smoke from the chimney once again made the believers waiting in the square feel regretful.

After lunch, the cardinals took a short rest before they continued to gather in the election hall to continue work.

When the vote was completed, everyone stared at examiner C. The examiner C felt inexplicable pressure, but he had to announce the truth based on the facts and shouted: "Caesar!"

After the vote counting results came out, the number of voters who received the votes was reduced to nine. However, the vacant votes did not fall on Bishop Caesar, and he still had sixty-four votes. It was obvious that the votes were being divided into other people, and the votes seemed to be gradually concentrating, and there was a tendency to compete with Bishop Caesar.

Look at me, let me look at you, a group of senior officials who believe in God question in their hearts, does God really exist?

If Bishop Caesar canvassed for votes, it is entirely possible to get 64 votes, but it is a bit incredible that he was the first voter in each round of elections.

Even Lin Zixian's expression was not natural anymore. This was too much... He secretly looked at the entire Sistine Chapel from time to time, and always felt that there were unclean things staring at him, which made his back chill. Could it be that something was warning him?

This guy is a little guilty...

The next round of elections began again. After the voting work was completed, Thomas, who had been standing on the edge of the field, suddenly walked over, stood by the three examiners, staring at the movements of the three.

This made the three reviewers feel inexplicable pressure. The examiner A tried to shake the ballots in the glass box like a group of butterflies flying, and then handed the hot potato to C. The examiner C unboxed and counted the number of votes. After matching the voters, he placed the ballots together and handed over to the examiner A's desk.

The examiner A was about to reach for the first vote, and glanced at Thomas who was staring at him coldly. He gritted his teeth, as if to prove his innocence. He suddenly closed his eyes, turned his head to the side, and messed up the piles of votes with both hands, and stretched out his hands to touch them out randomly.

This scene made the people present angry and funny, but they were helpless. Lin Zixian muttered in his stomach, Damn, if he could still get my name like this, I wouldn't be the pope... It would be strange!

However, Thomas refused to let go, and slowly walked around the side of examiner A, staring at him and opening the election envelope.

Everyone stared at him, and even the Pope's chief Daniel came over to watch. The examiners B and C looked at A with some sympathy. The examiners A opened the envelope with some trembling hands and slowly pulled out the votes inside.

After seeing the name above, examiner A turned around and looked at Thomas and Daniel, with his facial features wrinkled together, as if saying, "You all saw it, it really doesn't matter to me."

Caesar's name was vividly displayed on the paper. Thomas and Daniel had already taken a breath together, subconsciously looking up at Lin Zixian, eyes full of incredible...

Lin Zixian felt a little nervous, **, is it really me?

After reviewing all the way into C's hands, examiner C announced loudly again: "Caesar!"

The audience was silent, and their eyes were staring at Lin Zixian. They saw Lin Zixian crossing his chest, holding his fingers together and praying. It was vaguely visible that the guy had a slight fear on his face.

Official Lin was praying to God seriously, begging God not to play anymore, and he had never prayed so devoutly.

As a result, Bishop Caesar had another 64 votes, and the number of voters was reduced to one more time, becoming eight. Bishop Caesar was still far ahead.

Black smoke emerged from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel again and declared a failure. Today's election ended and the next round was tomorrow. It was just that the believers and media reporters waiting for good news outside were a bit difficult.

The next four rounds of elections were still repeating the same result. Caesar was still singing the first votes of four consecutive rounds. No matter what interference measures were used, it was a bit damn. The most important thing was that Bishop Caesar was still 64 votes unstoppable, extremely strong, and speechless.

However, the number of votes that received only seven was reduced again, leaving Bishop Caesar and six bishops from the collegial panel. Bishop Caesar's votes alone were comparable to the six major bishops, but he could not be elected because he never reached two-thirds of the votes.

Three working days have passed, but the Pope is still not elected. The believers and media reporters in the square have almost dispersed and have all gone to find a place to rest.

Because according to the election procedures, the election cannot be selected within three working days, and the election must be stopped for one day.

On this day, all the cardinals gathered in the election hall to pray. Joyce, the leader of the deacon, stood in front of the stage and gave a speech to everyone, telling everyone what kind of pope they need to choose and the situation of the Holy See.

He passionately talked about the future reform direction of the Holy See. To put it bluntly, he was telling the voters about his governing philosophy. If the ideas were in line with each other, he would naturally win a lot of votes.

After the speech, everyone returned to their respective single rooms to rest. Today they did nothing. They just ate, drank, urinated and rested in the house. If they didn’t choose the new pope, no one would leave. They would be confined until they were elected.

The next day, a large crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square, hoping that the cardinals of the election would give everyone a result after a day of rest, but they would disappoint everyone again...

After three working days in a row, the election situation turned into a stalemate. Every time the first vote had become Bishop Caesar's patent. The first vote must be the name he sang. Everyone is no longer surprised, and it has become a consensus.

Logically speaking, such a strange thing should have shocked this group of people from the majesty of "God". However, no one cares about what "God" is, and what kind of oracles and ghosts cannot scare them. They are people who pretend to be ghosts, so the cardinals are clearly fighting against God. The six major bishops persevere and resist Bishop Caesar's 64 votes. This shows that the six major bishops also have a group of strong supporters to fight for their own interests.

After three working days, the square was wailing, but there was no result yet! Xiaodao, who was sleeping in the tent, was finally dragged back to the hotel by Shang Wen. He was unkempt and became a beggar if he stayed there.

The election was suspended again the next day, and Felix, the leader of the priesthood, stood on the front desk, gave speeches to everyone, and stated his ruling philosophy.

Because all cardinals are divided into three poles, and in the end they are all divided into Henry, Felix and Joyce, the three who give speeches can take advantage, because the three can get in touch with most cardinals in their daily work. When the election is in a stalemate, they have to make the three speak, but in fact, they are already biased towards the three in terms of election conditions.

After this speech, in addition to asking everyone to pray, everyone should also think deeply and have a conversation.

The dialogue is also to prevent the election from stalemate. The people who are talking to everyone according to the rules are Henry, Felix and Joyce. This rule clearly favors the three people and gives the three people the opportunity to openly canvass votes. As for the others, they stay in the room honestly and are not allowed to run around and disperse the votes.

PS: Many readers are impatient with the election. Well, I'm already omitting writing, but I'm sorry for the designed plot. (To be continued. Please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
