The Secret History of Mars

Daniel followed the Holy See, his hand still carefully placed on the handle of his sword!

From the lobby to the top floor, there was a long flight of stairs to climb. A killer might pop out from any corner, so he had to be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years!

After walking far enough away from the crowd, the Holy See said quietly at a volume that only Daniel could hear, "That is indeed not your illusion!"

"Holiness, are you talking to me?!" Daniel asked in surprise!

"I am responding to what you are thinking!" The Holy See did not look back at him and continued to step on the steps carefully. If Daniel hadn't been familiar with the Holy See's voice and smile, the voice could have come from any direction!

"That was the soul of the Pope who was summoned by the Lord, and what was lying in the coffin just now was the body of the Pope who had lost his soul!" The Holy See seemed to be talking to himself or telling Daniel.

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

From a young age, the teachings have always said this. He felt that it was too sad to lose the Holy See of his mentor, so he had to use the teachings to commemorate his ancestors. May his soul never die!

"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 link for his resurrection in that world. Trip, so the sooner he is buried, the sooner he can be resurrected there!"

"What can I do for you and the Pope?" Daniel asked devoutly. The Holy See was indeed the incarnation of the Holy Father and could hear his thoughts. Daniel had nothing but devotion and obedience.

"When the coffin enters the obelisk and 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 reached out to hand over a letter to Daniel.

Daniel took the envelope devoutly. In this era, paper and ink have long been abandoned. Where did the Holy See find the envelope?

After taking the envelope, a series of letters and numbers on the front caught Daniel's attention:

"Shiyiji 2023-03-28T22:30:30Z."

It looks like time and place. Compared with the current year of 2506, it looks like a series of ordinary numbers!

On the back of the envelope, sealed with red wax, was a red shield-shaped badge!

It is similar to the badge of the Guards, except that one gold and one gray are crossed, 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 are the three-layer imperial crown of the Holy See and the crown of the cross!

This letter is sealed with the pastoral emblem of the Holy See!

The pastoral emblem itself proves that the content in the letter is the highest secret among believers around 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 to this day!

Because it was only built in the Middle Ages, the Peter Cathedral actually has a monument to the merits of the Roman Empire in the center of the square opposite it that existed more than 500 years ago before the church was built!

Many Protestants believe that the monument is not a simple monument of merit, but a symbol of the ancient Egyptian pagans who worshiped the sun god. To this day, criticism from Protestants continues!

As the leader of the Holy See, the Pope will not be buried in the crypt of Peter's Cathedral, but will be moved to this controversial obelisk!

Moreover, the enthronement ceremony must be held in the square at noon, when the crowd is the most crowded. The more Daniel thought about it, the more he felt that this was a rhythm that instigated unrest!

"Yes, many situations will arise in a while, so I can only leave it to you to complete the most critical link related to the Pope's resurrection!" The Holy See saw Daniel's worries and confirmed him with one word Worry!

"The Holy See, my bounden duty is to protect you personally. According to the process of the enshrinement ceremony, you cannot enter the obelisk with the coffin!" Daniel has never refuted the Holy See's instructions. This is the first time in history that he Trying to negotiate, "Can I put this letter into the Pope's hands at Peter's Basilica?"

"My friend, you have been by my side since I came to this time and space. 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, it is my duty!" The Holy See turned around at this time and stood on the steps two steps higher than Daniel. His holy eyes made Daniel unable to look directly and could only lower his head. Kiss his outstretched right hand.

"My Holy See, I am willing to do anything for you. You must cherish your life!" Daniel was already bursting into tears. He did not expect that he might accompany the Holy See as he walked up this short staircase. The last stairway to heaven!

"I will. Okay, let's say goodbye here!" The Holy See turned to look at the nearby preaching window and said to Daniel, "The gendarmerie should be ready to move the coffin. You go down and join them. Bar!"

"The Lord bless you, my Daniel!" The Holy See lowered 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 the way he came.

At the corner, he turned around with great nostalgia and took one last look at the Holy See where he had served for many years. The resolute and heroic young man was already standing in front of the window, accepting the calls and praises of thousands of believers!

The midday sun shines on his face, solemn and sacred!

Daniel quickly came to the hall downstairs. The gendarmerie captain was not surprised to see the Guards commander coming down alone!

On the contrary, upon seeing him, as if receiving an order, he gave the order to the gendarmerie, "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 looked like a group of people were carrying the sleeping Pope, who was lying in a wooden box. It didn’t look like a funeral at all!

Under the command of the captain, the gendarmerie formed two lines - clearing the way in front, carrying the coffin in the middle, and escorting the coffin in the back. They walked towards the door of the church in a uniform pace!

By this time, the crowd had finished its initial praise and cheers, and saw a group of gendarmerie appear at the door of the church, looking at each other in shock!

The distance between the obelisk and the church was only a few hundred meters, but the military police who cleared the way still spent a lot of effort to allow the funeral procession to cover half the distance!

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