The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 207

"Some say they are carrying the Pope!" The crowd started whispering!

"Shouldn't the pope be in front of the preaching window on the top floor?" A small group of people have already started a commotion!

Some looked up to the top windows of the church!
There was indeed a person with a luxurious posture standing there, but the noon sun was too dazzling, and the naked eye could not distinguish the appearance of that person from such a long distance, whether it was the Pope!
"If the Pope is lying there, who is that person in front of the window?!" The commotion has begun to slowly spread!
The captain of the gendarmerie looked stern, and he didn't care about the commotion around him at all. He directed the gendarmerie team who opened the way and accelerated the marching speed of the coffin removal team!

The vanguard has already pushed and shoved with the crowded crowd!

"That's not a wooden box, it's an uncovered coffin!!" Someone finally shouted out!
Daniel, who was walking close to the coffin, looked like a man on his back, wishing he could put on his wings and fly to the obelisk which was very close at hand!
His hand subconsciously protected his left chest, and what was placed there next to his body was the letter that the Holy See had just handed to him on the ladder of the church!
The commotion of the crowd quickly turned into agitation, and the formation of the gendarmerie was even more difficult to maintain!
Occasionally, bold people jumped into the middle of the two lines of gendarmerie, trying to get close to the coffin to find out!
Immediately stopped by the gendarmerie, he held the arm of the visitor and threw him back into the crowd!

More and more people jumped into the ranks, and the advancement of the entire gendarmerie became slower and slower!
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the obelisk even after dark!thought Daniel!

"The Pope is dead!!" Another shout escalated the restlessness of the crowd to the undercurrent before the riot!
Daniel has already begun to feel the malice of the crowd!There was a chill in his heart, and the 3.6 kg custom-made uniform on his body felt even heavier at this moment, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure!

The gendarmerie captain was still highly concentrated, urging the team to move forward!It is not affected by the changes in the surrounding people's sentiments!
Daniel admired the gendarmerie captain a little bit!
The gendarmerie of the Vatican City State is actually a police organization that maintains social order. Their experience in dealing with the people is far more than that of him, the bodyguard who mainly serves the Holy See!
Seeing that the obelisk is about to arrive, the vanguard has already set foot on the first step of the obelisk!
At this time, a believer suddenly jumped up the steps, stood on a high place, and blocked the way of the gendarmerie!
"Why should the Pope's body be sent to the obelisk!!!" The believer shouted hysterically, and several bold fanatics joined him, "This is a testament to our faith. contempt and blasphemy!!”

As more and more people joined the blocking team, on the steps between the coffin-moving gendarmerie and the entrance of the obelisk, a wall of believers was instantly erected!

And more believers are joining the human wall, and the whole crowd is also starting to try to surge towards the obelisk!
Riots are imminent!
"Dear people!" A sudden call to the soul calmed down the restless crowd!
People are very familiar with this feeling, it is the voice from the bones of the Pope when he preaches!
No matter how many people are in the square, everyone feels that the Pope is preaching to himself one-on-one, so real and clear!
It's just that this voice is not the Pope's!

"Dear believers, I am your holy seat!" As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent!

Taking advantage of the moment of hesitation at the human wall, the captain of the gendarmerie pushed the coffin forward a few more points!

"It is with a humble heart and sincere prayers that I share some important messages with you at this special time!"

The voice of the Holy See was long and quiet. Since the coronation ceremony, this was the first time the believers heard it. The young Holy See preached in person!
The restlessness of the crowd subsided a lot in an instant, and everyone turned around naturally, facing the cathedral with their backs facing the obelisk!
This gave the gendarmerie captain a perfect opportunity to break through a gap in the already loose human wall on the steps of the obelisk and move the coffin into the obelisk!

Just a few steps away!

Daniel's nervous palms were sweating. As long as the coffin was settled, he could immediately put the envelope into the hands of the Pope, close the coffin, and the task would be completed!
The Holy See on the top floor seemed to have seen the progress here, and continued to attract the attention of the crowd, saying:
"We gather today at this sad time to remember our great Pope Francis! A leader of faith, compassion and love!"

The crowd resumed whispering, "The Pope is really dead!"

"The one lying in the coffin just now is really the Pope!"

"Why is the pope's coffin moved into the obelisk?!"

……

"Pope Francis, throughout his life, dedicated himself to spreading the love and peace of the Lord. He set an example for the global community by advocating tolerance, love and solidarity!
He has led us through many challenges!His wisdom and humility will forever remain in our hearts, inspiring us to pursue a better world. "

At this moment, Daniel had already put the letter in his arms into the hands of the Pope, and the gendarmerie captain was instructing the team members to put the lid on the coffin that had been placed here in advance!

Finally successfully completed the task!
Daniel let out a long sigh of relief!

"At this painful time, we must unite our hearts and pray together for Francis, thanking him for his care and dedication to us, and asking the Lord to grant him eternal peace and rebirth!
With gratitude and hope, let us continue to pass on his legacy, work hard for love and justice, and strive for human happiness and peace!
May God's grace and mercy be with us forever!

Amen! "

At this time, the bell of the church rang again, and under the sincere words of the Holy See, the people in the square appeared in a state of ice and fire!

Half of the believers turned to face the obelisk, prayed devoutly, and sent their final blessings to their pope!

And the other half, apparently not buying the words of the Holy See, frantically flocked towards the obelisk, trying to "save" the Pope's coffin from the pagan monument!
There is no difference between the two groups of people, scattered throughout the square!
There is piety in riots; peace in madness; hope in despair!

Amidst the majestic and majestic bells of the church, a chaotic and orderly Divine Comedy is performed!

At this moment, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the top of the obelisk, heading straight for the noon sun!

This beam of light became stronger and stronger, and the square that was originally sunny was instantly dimmed!

The sound of prayers in the crowd, and the terrified shouts one after another!
It's like the end of the world is coming, and it's like a new world is reborn!
