Chapter 264, Supreme Power
The sunlight slanted in from the window, the white curtains were blown by the wind, and behind the curtains a hazy girl was holding a book in her hand.
There is a clear banned book mark on the cover of the book.
"Village Chief Xiao Kong, do I really want to read this book?" Stella's expression was full of hesitation.
This book is banned by the Vatican! Can she really read it?
"Well, thank you for translating it into Chinese and reading it to us." Kong Xiyan nodded seriously: "I understand Xing Erluo language, but I can't read Xing Erluo's words."
"But this is a banned book..." Stella paced around the room. "Reading a banned book is tantamount to committing a crime!"
"Is it more serious than the attack on Xing Ertang's son-in-law?" Luo Zhenxuan asked Stara.
"That's not the case..." Starla shook her head.
"Is it more serious than stealing the Vatican Bishop's heirloom staff and then breaking it?" Kong Xiyan also asked.
"This... is incomparable!" Stella's mouth twitched. No matter how she thought about it, the other two were more serious!
"Then what are you still hesitating about?" Luo Zhenxuan curled the corners of his lips.
"Yes!" Kong Xiyan gave Stella an affirmative look: "Third in command!"
Stella has already boarded this pirate ship, why are you still afraid of this and that?
"Okay!" Stella finally made up her mind and opened the book in her hand.
This thin banned book records a fable.
It looks like a children's book that has nothing to do with violating Vatican law.
Starla was also confused after reading it.
How did this get banned?
"This? A banned book?" Luo Zhenxuan's mouth twitched.
"I... don't know." Stella's eyes fell on the book cover: "It is indeed a banned book! It's marked here!"
After confirming that it was the banned book, Stella looked up at Luo Zhenxuan again: "Qin, didn't you take this book back? Don't you know what it is?"
"I don't know. She asked me to take it back." Luo Zhenxuan looked at Kong Xiyan again.
Kong Xiyan spread her hands when she heard the voice and said, "I don't know what this book is, I just figured it out."
"Calculated it?" Starla was even more confused: "How did you calculate it?"
"The Li hexagram in the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces is the central void. The Li hexagram represents information, secrets, and the location of opportunity. It's usually located due south, also known as the Vermillion Bird, and is associated with verbal disputes." Kong Xiyan explained her method of deduction. Seeing that Stella's expression was becoming increasingly troubled, she smiled and said, "Anyway, that's how I calculated it."
"It's the ninth book from the left on the second shelf from the top of the bookshelf facing due south." Luo Zhenxuan continued, "That's it."
"I really don't understand." Starla pursed her lips: "Chinese culture is broad and profound."
"It's okay, Third Master. I'll teach you a lot in the future!" Kong Xiyan patted Stella's shoulder with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Stella, I heard that there was a rift between the Xing Ertang royal family and the Holy See in the early years. Did anything shocking the whole country happen during that time?"
"Ah?" Starla blinked and smiled bitterly. "Village Chief Xiao Kong, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, but I was too young at the time, and... I fell and injured my head when I was young, so I can't remember a lot of things. How about I ask my brother for you?"
"Have you ever had a head injury?" Kong Xiyan was stunned when she heard the voice. Just as she was about to ask something else, she heard her cell phone vibrate. The person calling was Damian.
"Hello." Kong Xiyan answered the phone.
"What on earth did you do?" Damian lowered his voice on the other end of the line, his tone filled with anger. "Why would someone from the Vatican come here and ask me to hand over Stella?!"
"Have you found it yet?" Kong Xiyan smiled: "Damian, let's play a game."
"Huh?" Damian was confused.
"Tell the people of the Vatican that Stella was kidnapped by a group calling themselves the Viper Gang, then get angry at them and say that the Viper Gang has contacted you.
The Viper Gang had previously warned the Vatican that they had their sights set on Stella. It was the Vatican's inaction that caused you to lose your sister."
"Do you even know what you're talking about? Where's Stella?!" Damian frowned.
"I've appointed Starla as the third in command of the Viper Gang. No matter what I've done, Starla can't escape responsibility. If you join the game now, I'll make sure she's alright!"
"You!" Damian choked. "I want to hear Stella's voice!"
"Brother." Stella's voice came from the other end of the phone: "What Village Chief Xiao Kong said is true. I am now the third in command of the Viper Gang!"
"Stella... my Star God..." Damian felt his temples throbbing with pain. "Do you even know what you're talking about?"
"I know, Village Chief Xiao Kong said he would take me to play some exciting games!" Starla smiled and said, "Brother, you have to remember to eat when I'm not at home!"
"You!" Damian was completely out of temper, and in the end he could only ask Kong Xiyan to take good care of Stella.
For the sake of his sister, he was forced to join this weird and nonsensical game. He lost his temper at the people of the Vatican and pretended to send a large number of people to find Stella's whereabouts.
The people from the Holy See hurried back and reported the matter to Bishop Gwart of the Xingertang Holy See.
They checked the surveillance footage for a long time yesterday and finally managed to piece together the relevant person, Stella, from the details.
But unexpectedly, Starla was the one being kidnapped!
Bishop Gwat was shaking with anger, and the ridicule Kong Xiyan hurled at him before she left yesterday seemed to echo in his ears.
"If you have the guts, come and stop me!"
He failed!
Not only did they fail to retrieve the staff and find the damn Chinese man, but even Damian's sister Starla was kidnapped!
"Bishop Gwat, why don't we talk to the royal family about this matter! If the royal family helps..." Gwat's confidant frowned and suggested.
"No!" Bishop Gwat rejected the request immediately.
Today is the important Star God Festival during Star God Cultural Week.
If this matter were to be leaked now, it would not only cause panic among the believers, but would also allow the royal family to find something to hold against the Holy See, and the Holy See's status in the eyes of the people would also decline.
The royal family created a national mentor who advocates trust in science. Isn't that enough to humiliate the Vatican?!
Ever since that damned national teacher showed up, the status of the Xing Ertang Church in the eyes of the people has been declining again and again, and he can no longer bear any unnecessary risks.
"Then about tonight's Star God Festival..." the confidant said hesitantly.
"Proceed as usual." Bishop Gwat's eyes were gloomy. "No accidents can happen today!"
"yes."
At the same time, Kong Xiyan flipped through the forbidden book in her hand and curled her lips: "Tonight is the Star God's Festival, right? Let's... go have some fun!"
"My Star God..." Stella widened her eyes, her face showing both fear and excitement.
"I shouldn't have the right to refuse, right?" Luo Zhenxuan curled his lips.
"What are you talking about, Boss!" Kong Xiyan patted Luo Zhenxuan's arm: "You have the highest authority in our Viper Gang!"
"Supreme power? What power?"
"You can pay!"
“…” Luo Zhenxuan felt that he could actually do without this so-called supreme power.
