It was at this moment that Rika Fukasawa realized why Aslan Tikro's name was recorded in the Book of Revelation Hell.
"You... You actually reported the wrong date? Didn't you find out at the time?"
"At that time, my mind was very confused. When I said the date, I didn't realize that I gave the wrong date. And other exorcists, knowing the importance of this matter, asked me repeatedly if it was indeed this date, and I also Nodding and saying yes. I was personally recommended by Earl Klein to carry out the work of protecting the 'foreigners', so although I am not a member of the Ticcolo Magic Society, they still trust me. This trust... is Earl Klein Forged by decades of fame and authority, but destroyed by me."
"...you... how can you be so stupid! How many people's lives have been ruined by you doing this!"
"Yes... so this is my unforgivable sin. Because of the wrong date, the people of the Tiklo Magic Society, who have already mastered the whereabouts of the Interstellar Wisdom Sect, chose to act in advance on May 21 to carry out the encirclement and suppression. Therefore, In the final ending, you also heard from Klaus... and, and... "
Speaking of this, Aslan was already sobbing.
"Ethan...is he too?"
silence. But at this time, silence is the best answer.
"No, even so, did you have no communication with those exorcists after that? You didn't mention the date of May 21st again before the operation? Even before that day, or even that day, they didn't communicate with you. Talk about action?"
"At the beginning, because the alien was dead, most of the exorcists went to the front line to provide support, and because I was not an exorcist from the Ticcolo Magic Society, they arranged for me to leave Shanghai first. After all, Shanghai will soon become a battlefield , not safe, many people have regarded me as Earl Klein's intention to train and earn income, and naturally hope to protect my safety. I was mainly concerned about Ethan's safety at the time, so I didn't plan to leave Shanghai, so I stayed first. In the suburbs of Shanghai, I waited for the end of the operation and walked with Ethan. At that time, I naturally could no longer have any contact with the exorcists to prevent the communication process from being eavesdropped and causing the operation to leak. So on the day of the operation... I unexpectedly I don't know..."
"How could it be... just because you were absent-minded, you said the wrong date, which resulted in so many people dying in vain?"
"This incident...caused the public outrage of the European Exorcist Association and the Ticcolo Magic Society, and even the Vatican was alarmed. The Vatican was negotiating with the Chinese government at that time, so although I am Chinese, I also Arrested by the Vatican. At that time, I was even suspected of being a traitor of the Interstellar Wisdom Sect, and I will be tried according to the laws of the Vatican."
In 1929, the Vatican signed the Lateran Treaty, which is the basis of the Vatican judicial system. Its judiciary mainly follows the Italian judicial system, and generally speaking, Italian citizens are tried.
"At that time, I was sent to the Supreme Court of the Vatican to hear the case. It stands to reason that I am a Chinese citizen and should not be judged by the Vatican, but the matter involving the Interstellar Wisdom Sect is of great importance, and the exorcism of death There are quite a few people with Vatican nationality and Italian nationality in the teacher. At this time, Earl Klein came forward and negotiated with the Vatican."
"He... saved you? How powerful is Earl Klein?"
"Earl Klein has a very high status in the Vatican. Over the years, the funds for the operations of the Ticcolo Magic Society have been provided by the Klein family. Some members of the Klein family also serve as cardinals in the Vatican. Even the Pope, Earl Klein has to show face. Of course, this matter is too serious. Even if Earl Klein came forward, he negotiated with the Vatican to a considerable extent. He never told me exactly how much he paid, and I did not I haven't found out yet, but I can be sure that it is definitely not a small price. Among them, I must have paid a certain amount of power... "
"Although I was sent to the Vatican for trial at the time, because I was suspected of being a traitor of the Interstellar Wisdom Sect, my name and specific identity were not made public, lest other traitors lurking in the Vatican come to the rescue. Therefore, in addition to mentioning There are not many people who know about some of the absolute high-level members of the Tiklo Magic Society. The Earl told me at the time that after negotiating with the Vatican, the condition I must agree to is that I must enter the North American branch of the Tiklo Magic Society and must be in the Work there unconditionally for five years."
"North American branch?"
"Yes. Since the 1930s, the Ticcolo Magic Society has not dared to act easily in North America. Even if it conducts activities, it is done secretly. The United States is a federal country, and each state has a high degree of autonomy. Therefore, the influence of the Tiklo Magic Society over there is very weak. Therefore, the work performed there is quite dangerous. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the death rate of exorcists in North America has become higher and higher. Therefore, the danger of entering the branch of the Tiklo Magic Society in North America is similar to that of serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therefore, this is obviously a punishment in disguise. Even so, it is Earl Klein who fought for me in every possible way. Come."
"Compared to... Iraq? Afghanistan?"
"Yes. I, who was imprisoned at the time, also realized that this was my only way out. At that time, I was tortured by guilt to death, and I will never forget that I killed Ethan With so many exorcists. Naturally, it is impossible for me to go back to China, and it is impossible to be with Ashara again. If it is not because Christians cannot commit suicide, I would have chosen to kill myself. , I have no objection."
"It's just... I feel even more guilty and grateful to Earl Klein. The reason why the Earl is willing to protect me is because he already knows that the end of the world will come in twelve years, so I hope that before that, more Find a talent in multiple locations and go on a New England demon hunt."
(Actually, to be more precise... Earl Klein's approach is to leave a way for his son. After all, hunting demons is for the opportunity to enter the gate of heaven, and there is naturally a competitive relationship. He naturally hopes to be able to provide his own The son cultivated a loyal, amazingly talented, and most importantly, no other background forces in Europe, and an extremely innocent confidant, which increased the chances of Grandine entering the kingdom of heaven. You know, with such a strong love for Earl Klein Thanksgiving and guilt, not only to protect Grandine at the risk of life and death, but also to give Grandine many opportunities to hunt demons with his own hands, to increase his good deeds recorded in "Revelation". The method is really clever, so that Aslan Tikro dare not die? However, I guess my husband would not have thought of this.)
"I see... No wonder you care so much about Grandine."
"I am a person who deserves to go to hell. How can I have the slightest qualification to enter the kingdom of heaven? I will not change where I should be in the "Apocalypse". When I die, I will receive the retribution I deserve. I Came to New England, came to Providence, all for Grandinne. He is different from me, his name should be recorded in the "Revelation" heavenly volume. For this, I will pay any price. And... Those 'demons' of the Interstellar Wisdom Sect, I will kill them one by one, especially... the woman who killed Ethan, I will never forget her name... "
"You know her name?"
"Yes, I learned her name from Earl Klein—Ophelia Stark! She has extremely recognizable purple hair, and she is of mixed race!"
", That's why you hate people from the Interstellar Wisdom Sect so much..."
Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly felt that the iron hoop tied to her chest was tightened even tighter for some reason!
"What's going on... the iron hoops tied in front of me..."
"Me too! What's the matter?"
Just then...
Just below, vaguely, I heard footsteps!
In this dark environment, hearing these footsteps is really frightening!
