Chapter 693 Rush
“The Shroud of Jesus!”
These five words seem to have the power to captivate people, making people unable to help but change their color.
After a long time, another short-toned young man said in surprise, "Boss, isn't that thing in the Turin Cathedral in Italy?"
Although the remaining people did not speak, they all showed doubts on their faces, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Who doesn’t know that that piece of cloth is the most closely preserved and precious relic of Christianity, an absolutely priceless treasure? Most people say that this piece of cloth was used to wrap the body of Christ and be buried after he was crucified and died.
What’s even more rumored is that this piece of cloth has all kinds of miraculous features. There are images of the front and back bodies of Jesus on it, which can bring good luck to ordinary people when they see it.
However, precisely because of the preciousness of this piece of cloth, it is only put on public display about four times every hundred years, and ordinary people cannot see it at all.
Now, hearing what the boss is saying, it seems like the Shroud of Jesus has appeared here, how can it not be surprising?
"Well, it is said that someone hired the Rat King to steal the cloth at a high price, and then hired the God's Armed Mercenary Group to transport it here. It's just that the former wanted to kill the Rat King to silence him, but he escaped by chance, so this matter is vaguely revealed.
Come out!"
Originally this was a secret and shouldn't be talked about casually, but if something like this happened, there was no way to hide it, so the middle-aged man simply opened it up.
"Rat King, God's Mercenary Group!"
"For those of you sitting here, these two names are no strangers. The former is the master thief in the dark world of Europe. He once entered and exited the Louvre as well as his own garden. He was famous for a while and was also known as the Jianghu Thief in the Chinese arena."
But no matter what, as the name suggests, this person is also a shady guy. Although everyone present has heard of it, they don't care, but the latter is different.
One of the three major mercenaries in Europe, they are powerful, with about two thousand people, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to the armed forces of some African countries.
If these two pieces of news are true, this matter is most likely true.
But then the bald man shook his head and said, "Impossible. Although the God's Mercenary Group is powerful, the Holy See is not a vegetarian. There is no reason for them to attack the stone with an egg."
Unlike China, the most powerful underground forces in Europe are not the mercenaries and killer groups, but the Dark Parliament.
The latter is a giant existence, deeply embedded in the economy and politics of various countries.
However, the one holding him down above the Dark Council is the Holy See. The two have been fighting for thousands of years, but the Dark Council was unable to defeat the other side and was forced to go underground.
Although the prestige of the Holy See is now different from that of the past, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and no one dares to look down upon it.
To put it bluntly, except for countries, no other force in Europe can compete with the Holy See.
Even the famous First Family and the Dark Council had to fall behind.
If God's mercenary group really touches the treasure of the Holy See, they may really be seeking death.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of sarcasm, and he said lightly, "God's mercenary group does not dare to disobey the Holy See, but people die for money. If they are used by others without knowing it, it will be hard to say."
call!
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this. If this was really the case, there might be an invisible hand manipulating the situation behind the scenes, and even the Holy See was playing tricks on it.
"Okay, this matter is still uncertain. All we have to do is confirm the news. If the news is true, a death order has been issued from above, and the things must be obtained!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice with a glint in his eyes.
…
In the room, Ning Tao sat cross-legged on the bed, with traces of white air overflowing from his nostrils and dissipating in the air.
At the same time, there was a light fragrance emanating from his body. If you didn't smell it carefully, you wouldn't be able to smell it at all.
This is a sign that the body is glazed and pure.
In fact, all primates can emit fragrance, but it is a pity that they eat whole grains, the environment is polluted, and they themselves are already impure.
After a long time, Ning Tao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled heavily.
He leaned inside and nodded with satisfaction.
He has been in the Middle East for half a month, and spiritual practice has become his daily way to pass the boring time.
The desert in the Middle East is sparsely populated and relatively full of spiritual energy, which is conducive to spiritual practice. He has made great progress these days.
Getting off the bed, Ning Tao stretched out, and suddenly there was a crackling sound all over his body, as if he was setting off firecrackers.
Apart from being a bit boring, this kind of day is pretty good.
Xia Tian originally thought that the United States would make a big move after suffering a loss last time, but half a month later, the other side was still holding back, which was suspicious.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and checked the time. Thinking that he would have an impromptu meeting later, Ning Tao turned around and walked out of the room.
Before leaving the house, I took out a juicy cucumber from the refrigerator, took a bite, and took a leisurely bite.
The cucumber was given by Dong Miaomiao for him to relieve the heat.
The weather in the Middle East can be described in one word: hot!
Let's put it this way, if you don't wrap your head and stay in the sun for two hours, your skin will get burned.
Surprisingly, Ning Tao was wearing casual clothes and there was no sweat on his body. This is probably one of the benefits of practicing.
The houses are all mobile homes, which can be easily dismantled. After all, Ning Tao and others will not live here permanently, and the layout is also very particular. They are spread out to prevent artillery attacks.
Looking up at the construction workers in the distance, Ning Tao walked towards an inconspicuous house in the back with one hand behind his back.
This is a temporary conference room that doesn't attract attention.
When Ning Tao came in, Dong Miaojie and several team leaders were there, but Fang Kai was not there. The latter generally did not participate in such meetings except for assigning tasks. He had the consciousness of not listening to things he shouldn't.
"Instructor Ning, this is some information that Jina has collected recently. You can take a look first."
After Ning Tao greeted everyone, Dong Miaojie pushed a document on the table to him and said solemnly.
"Oh." Ning Tao took the document and looked at it a few times while chewing a cucumber.
But after just three or five breaths, Ning Tao closed the document and raised his eyebrows, "Why are you showing me this?"
The content above was about a fight that took place the day before yesterday. It seemed that a mercenary group supported by the United States was fighting with local armed forces. He did not read it carefully.
He really couldn't think of any of this. The situation in the Middle East was complicated, and there were big powers' strategies behind it. You hit me all day long, and I hit you, but this was not what he, a little monk, cared about.
Dong Miaojie looked solemn, stared at Ning Tao and said, "It's not as simple as you see. This fight is said to involve the God Mercenary Group from the Middle East, the God of War Team from the United States, and underground forces in Europe."
