Chapter 967 "Tears of the Prophet"

After the end of World War II in 1945, a large number of soldiers returned to the United States, making 1946 the beginning of the baby boom in the United States.

In 1946, 3.4 million babies were born in the United States. In the following 18 years, more than 75.9 million babies were born in the United States, accounting for about one-third of the total population of the United States. David Mills was born during that period.

.

People are accustomed to using skyscrapers to symbolize the United States. Indeed, the United States is the first country in the world to build skyscrapers. The earliest skyscrapers were born in Chicago in the 1880s. The main purpose was to alleviate urban land shortages.

Later, as a large number of soldiers returned to China, employment became a problem. The purpose of building skyscrapers changed from alleviating urban land shortage to alleviating employment pressure. Later, building skyscrapers became a dual challenge to construction technology and workers' psychological quality.

When Mills and Tracy first arrived in New York, they were looking for an apartment. In the old photos in the New York Museum, you can see construction workers sitting on high-altitude beams eating. The high altitude below them seemed not to exist at all.

It’s like eating on the ground, without any safety facilities.

Mills' father was from that era. He seemed to be able to see the shadow of his father's work in the construction workers. However, he did not die of an accident while working at heights, but died of stomach cancer. He died peacefully in bed,

He didn't almost die next to a trash can on the street like David.

That period was the golden age of the United States. Unlike the Prohibition era, men did not pick up guns for gang fights. They put down their guns and picked up welding guns for a better life. Everything was so prosperous.

Boys basically all have a heroic dream, but there were no superheroes in the era when Mills grew up. His "hero" was his father. However, after World War II, the purpose of the United States' foreign wars was not so "just."

His father did not allow him to join the army, and since he was not very good at reading and there were not so many skyscrapers to build, Mills applied for the police academy and became a police officer.

Al Capone was a very charismatic Mafia leader. He could treat people to a feast and beat the "guests" to death with a bat at the same time. As long as you didn't mess with him, he was a very easy-to-get-together person, and people also liked it.

I am willing to get close to him, and he also pays taxes to the federal government on time.

Mills doesn’t know what Anthony did to make the FBI target him. What can a psychiatrist who eats with a girl do? But this is Los Angeles, and the screenwriter’s imagination and design often come from life, and even life.

The plot is more twists and turns and bizarre than what the screenwriter wrote.

After the technician processed the audio tape that recorded the noise, a short meow could be heard, which lasted only a second or two. The previous noise contained a woman's painful moans.

The voice sounded just like the girl in Germany who was recorded being exorcised, not to mention the necklace made of human teeth.

This case can be ended by suicide, and O'Sullivan won't have to work overtime.

They just want to know what happened in that brief 1 minute and 15 seconds.

Even the police don't always encounter cases like this, and if someone looks through the files one day and discovers that they were careless, it might cause other troubles.

Compared with Mills who dares to fight hard, O'Sullivan is more stable. In other words, he has no aggressiveness. It is not easy to climb to the current position. If he loses his job or even his pension because of an oversight, it will not be worthwhile. .

"This is not a necklace." After seeing the real thing, Anthony suddenly said through the evidence bag.

"Really? What could it be if it wasn't a necklace?" O'Sullivan asked pretending to be surprised.

"The rosary," said Anthony.

"Like the beads the Buddha used?" Mills asked.

Anthony said nothing, but O'Sullivan rolled his eyes.

"It's a Catholic rosary, used for praying the rosary. I asked the parish priest and he said that the Latin text that Angela recited was 'Although the woods of Egypt cannot be passed through, the enemy will cut them down because they are more numerous than the locusts and they are invincible. Number, do not be afraid, my servant Jacob! For I will save you from afar.' This is taken from the Bible, the story of the prophet Jeremiah. When the Babylonian army captured Jerusalem, Jeremiah watched his prophecy come true, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Daniel, and Ezekiel were taken captive to Babylon, but he stayed in Jerusalem. Later, the Jews who stayed in Jerusalem rebelled against Babylon, and Jeremiah was forced to flee with them to Egypt, where he was martyred."

"You are very familiar with this aspect." Anthony looked at O'Sullivan and said.

"I just said what the priest said." O'Sullivan scratched his face and looked a little embarrassed. Mills looked at him with an expression on his face that he was about to vomit.

"Have you ever been to Stratford?" asked Anthony.

"Where?" Mills and O'Sullivan asked together.

"There are three Stratfords in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. This city is said to be the birthplace of Shakespeare. Many pilgrims visit Stratford every year. In a corner of the cemetery, an oak box is placed. A King James First Version of the Bible. The 46th letter of chapter 46 of that version is 'shake', and the 46th letter from the bottom is 'speare'. Putting them together is 'shakespeare', and this chapter is written It is also the story of Jeremiah. The Nile River will surge and the mountain peaks will tremble. That day will be the day of revenge of the Lord of hosts. Some people say that this is a coincidence in the history of literature. Others think that William Shakespeare does not exist at all. , his works were created collectively by the British aristocracy."

"So?" O'Sullivan and Mills asked confusedly.

"During the reign of James I, he considered himself a messenger of God. His mother, Mary Stuart, was very fond of assassinations. She killed her husband and later fled to England from Scotland. In England, she tried to assassinate Elizabeth I and was executed. , before you said 'he is in danger', could this 'him' not refer to Sgat and Ethan, but someone else."

"You said the 'Messenger of God' was in danger?" Mills asked.

"I don't know, but I did hear that he was very ill this time," Anthony said.

"Wait a minute, are you talking about the Pope in the Vatican?" O'Sullivan asked.

Mills and Anthony looked at him together.

"This is crazy," O'Sullivan screamed.

"Mary I once threatened the innocent Queen Elizabeth I. If Elizabeth did not make Mary the heir to the throne, she would unite with foreign kings to convert the Protestant England to Catholicism. Elizabeth I and her most loyal advisor William Cecil

After discussion, it was decided to tell Mary Stuart that if she changed her plan to marry a foreign prince and marry a British noble, she would be considered as his heir. Elizabeth I's idea was very risky, which meant that if she did not give birth to a legal heir,

Had she died before, Mary would have become Queen of England, but if she could choose a Protestant husband for Mary that she could control and prevent England from becoming Catholic again, Robert Dudley was the perfect candidate."

"Speak humanly, please," Mills said impatiently.

"Jeremiah shed tears because he knew that people were far away from God. If they were to get closer to God again, would there still be disputes between Protestants and Catholics? The Pope had been assassinated before."

"How could a 17-year-old silly girl know so much?" O'Sullivan asked in shock.

"This is another question. How can a girl who can't speak Spanish suddenly speak Latin? Do you believe she is possessed by the devil?"

"Oh, my God!" O'Sullivan said painfully.

"Didn't you say she was faking it?" Mills asked tremblingly.

"Seance rituals were popular in England at the end of the 19th century, and the supporter was often a woman." Anthony rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Maybe the devil possessing Angela is not the devil, but like Jonah, she dare not accept her fate."

"Everyone is very tired. Let's go back and rest today." O'Sullivan said.

Mills turned and walked away, as if he wanted to leave this place.

"Maybe lunatic asylums are more normal than here." He muttered, his voice not loud enough to be heard by the two of them.
