The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 206 Stairway to Heaven

Daniel followed behind the holy seat, his hand still on the handle of the saber vigilantly!
From the hall to the top floor, there is a section of stairs that is not short or long to climb, and a killer may jump out of any corner, so he should be careful when driving for ten thousand years!

After walking far enough away from the crowd, the Holy See said in a voice that only Daniel could hear, "That's really not your hallucination!"

"Holy One, are you talking to me?!" Daniel asked in surprise!
"I'm responding to what you think in your heart!" The Holy See didn't look back at him, and continued to step on the steps carefully. If Daniel was not familiar with the Holy See's voice and smile, the voice could come from any direction!
"That is the soul of the Pope who was summoned by the Lord, and what was lying in the coffin just now is the body of the Pope who has lost his soul!" The Holy See seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be telling Daniel.

Daniel didn't know how to answer. Every word the Holy See said was familiar and strange!

From childhood to adulthood, the teachings have always said this. He felt that the Holy See, who had lost his teacher, was too sad, so he had to use the teachings to remember his teacher. May his soul live forever!
"Yes, the soul is immortal. The Pope's soul just left his body and went to another world!" The Holy See said sadly, "And this body is the only thing that will hold him back to life in that world." So, the sooner he is buried, the sooner he can be resurrected there!"

"What can I do for you and the Pope?" Daniel asked piously. The Holy See is indeed the incarnation of the Holy Father, and he can hear his thoughts. Apart from dedication and obedience, Daniel has nothing else to think about.

"I will be buried in a while, and when the coffin enters the obelisk, I want you to find an opportunity to put this letter into the hands of the Pope!" The Holy See still did not look back, and stretched out his hand to hand over a letter to Daniel.

Daniel took the envelope piously. In this era, paper and ink have already been bid farewell. Where did the Holy See get the envelope from?
After taking the envelope, a string of letters and numbers on the front of the envelope caught Daniel's attention:
“石夷纪2023-03-28T22:30:30Z。”

It looks like time and place. Compared with the current year of 2506, the long time is just like a string of ordinary numbers!

On the back of the envelope, it was sealed with red wax, a red shield-shaped badge!
It is similar to the badge of my Guards, except that one gold and one gray are intertwined, which is the top view of Peter's Cathedral. For those who are not familiar with the structure of the church, at first glance, it looks like two keys!
Above the cross is the three-tier crown of the Holy See and the crown of the cross!
This letter was sealed with the Holy See's pastoral emblem!
This pastoral emblem itself proves the content of the letter, and it is the highest secret of believers in the world. Seeing the Holy See's pastoral emblem is like seeing the Holy Father!

"Holy See, this is..." Daniel didn't want to ask more about the confidential content, but the obelisk in the square has been controversial in the Holy See so far!

Because it was only built in the Middle Ages, the Peterhof Cathedral, in the center of the square directly opposite it, has a monument of the Roman Empire that existed more than 500 years before the church was built!
Many Protestants believe that the monument is not a simple monument of merit and virtue, but a symbol of ancient Egyptian pagans who worshiped the sun god. So far, Protestants have continued to criticize it!

As the leader of the Holy See, the Pope will not be buried in the catacomb of Peter's Cathedral, but will be moved to this controversial obelisk!
Moreover, the encoffining ceremony will be held in the square at noon, when the crowd is the most crowded. The more Daniel thinks about it, the more he feels that this is the rhythm of provoking turmoil!
"Yes, there will be many situations in a while, so this is related to the resurrection of the Pope, the most critical part, I can only leave it to you to complete!" The Holy See saw Daniel's worry, and confirmed him with one word worry!

"Holy See, my vocation is to protect you personally. According to the process of the encoffining ceremony, you cannot enter the obelisk with the coffin!" Daniel never refuted the command of the Holy See. This was the first time in history that he Trying to negotiate, "May I put this letter in the hands of the Pope in the Cathedral of Peter?"

"My friend, you have been by my side since I came to this time and space, and I trust you more than anyone else!" The Holy See did not directly answer Daniel's question, "And this letter is related to The future fate of our planet is far more important than my life!"

"If I need to use my life in exchange for you to complete the delivery safely, I am duty-bound!" At this time, the holy seat turned around and stood on the steps two steps higher than Daniel. His holy eyes made Daniel unable to look directly at him and could only bow his head. Kiss his outstretched right hand.

"My Holy See, I am willing to do anything for you, you must cherish your own life!" Daniel was already crying, he did not expect that this not long and not short staircase might actually be accompanied by the Holy See, walking The last stairway to heaven!
"I will, okay, let's say goodbye here!" The Holy See turned his head and looked at the sermon window, which was close at hand, and said to Daniel, "The gendarmerie should be ready to move the coffin, you go down and join them Bar!"

"God bless you, my Daniel!" The Holy See bowed his head and kissed Daniel's forehead, then turned around and walked towards the preaching window without looking back.

Daniel turned around and walked down the steps along the way he came.

At the corner, he was very reluctant to turn his head, and took a last look at the holy seat that he had served for many years. The resolute and heroic young man was already standing in front of the window, accepting the call and praise of thousands of believers!

The noon sun shines on his face, solemn and holy!
Daniel quickly came to the downstairs hall. The captain of the gendarmerie was not even half surprised when he saw the commander of the guards coming down alone!

On the contrary, as soon as he saw him, he gave instructions to the gendarmerie as if he had received an order, "The funeral ceremony has begun, prepare to move the coffin!"

Daniel noticed that the gendarmerie did not cover the coffin, but directly lifted the open coffin!

From a distance, it looks like a group of people are carrying the sleeping Pope in a wooden box, it doesn't look like a funeral at all!
Under the command of the captain, the gendarmerie lined up in two rows—the front cleared the way, the middle carried the coffin, and the rear was escorted. They walked towards the church door with uniform steps!
At this time, the crowd was over. After the initial praise and cheers, a team of gendarmerie appeared at the door of the church, looking at each other in blank dismay!
The distance between the obelisk and the church is only a few hundred meters, and the gendarmerie who cleared the way still took a lot of effort to let the funeral team walk half of the distance!

At this time, someone in the crowd recognized the person lying in the coffin, "The person lying in that wooden box is our Pope, right?!" The person said softly.
