Chapter 604: Technology Changes the World
After that, although both Yi Cheng and Richelieu, who also experienced and could empathize, sincerely dissuaded the referee in the future, it was obviously not enough to stop the opponent's determination to punish himself for the sake of firm faith and will. Eight? One Chinese? ≤≤≤.≤8=1≈Z≈≠.≥COM
"Rest assured, I will finish the prayer of atonement before tomorrow's baptism."
As the most common and most commonly used punishment in the Inquisition, the confinement chamber ...... It is also commonly known as the little black house, which is actually a rather torturous punishment.
Confined to a confined space without any light source and excellent sound insulation, the following time is unimaginably painful and cruel for humans as a social species.
If such descriptions and descriptions are not enough to show the severity of this punishment, then ...... If you don't think it's enough, consider the situation when you can't use your computer or IFI when your home has a power outage...... In addition, the mobile phone and handheld are also depleted at the same time, and at the same time, there is no money in the pocket to go out to surf the Internet, as long as you have experienced that kind of despair, then, you must be able to understand the horror of the "little black house".
In fact, however, for a devout person such as the presiding judge, the punishment of the little black room was not as terrible as it was above, for she, and for believers like her, however long the period of seclusion, for her and for believers like her, it was at most a time for one or several prayers.
In ancient times, the most devout believers could pray for a whole month without eating or drinking, let alone being locked up in some cramped and dark space – otherwise what kind of environment do you think Asan's yoga was honed?
Perhaps, it is precisely because it can give people hope and the strength to survive in such a desperate situation that religion has always existed and continues to this day along with the history of human growth and progress.
As the saying goes, if a person does not have faith, he loses the motivation to live.
Whether it is money, power, family, friendship, love, or even more direct, it can prompt people to generate the motivation to strive and strive for faith, and in the final analysis, these things also exist in the essence of "faith".
"So...... This referee is really harsh. ”
Seeing the black-robed woman wrapping her body melt into the pitch-black confinement space, Yi Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not all your fault, you know, the will of the judge is the most determined of all the high-ranking members of the Holy See."
"It's all said that it has nothing to do with me...... Besides, isn't that a normal physiological response? Don't tell me you didn't feel that way when you pressed it......"
“…… It's not the same! ”
Richelieu glared at Yi Cheng with some dissatisfaction, obviously remembering that this guy slapped her ass. Bad taste behavior at the time of the stock.
"All in all, you'd better go back to your room now, and wait for tomorrow's baptism, until then, I don't want you, or your companions, to do anything else!"
“…… Speaking of getting things done, I have something I want you to help with. ”
Reminded by Richelieu, Yi Cheng remembered an important thing.
"It's a very old building though...... At least there will be surveillance in your church, right? ”
"Monitoring...... While believers in God don't need that, we do have the necessary security in place to prevent tourists or thieves with bad intentions from sneaking in. ”
"In that case...... Can you take me to see what I was watching? I want ...... Confirm the whereabouts of a certain guy during this time. ”
Icheng won't forget the guy who kidnapped himself here, codenamed Loki.
In ...... from the bathhouse More precisely, when he came out of the baptismal font, Yi Cheng had already noticed that Loki's guy had long since disappeared without a trace, and counting the time he had stayed inside, there had been a gap of nearly two hours.
And considering the unstable factor that Loki has shown before, Yi Cheng is not sure if this guy will sneak away to do something bad during this period.
Never doubt the ability of an evil villain, even if this is the Holy See, didn't that guy use some means to empty all the garrisons near the baptismal font?
"That's right......"
After listening to Icheng's brief account of the situation, Richelieu only groaned for a moment before agreeing to his request.
"Actually, from the moment he entered the Holy See, there were already people I arranged to monitor him, but given the situation you mentioned earlier......"
Surveillance equipment that works 24 hours a day and is almost error-free is significantly more reliable than human beings who are tired, distracted, and easily distracted by hallucinations or delusions.
So, led by Richelieu, the two men walked through the porch again, and soon came to a small modern room on the outskirts of the church, which was very different from the quaint atmosphere of the church itself.
"Lord Richelieu, what are you doing?"
The two white-robed monks in charge of guarding the monitoring room - it seems that they are at least a priest level, and being able to be arranged to such a point also proves that the status of the two is not low, and judging from the attitude of these two people when facing Richelieu, these two people may still be Richelieu's direct subordinates.
"I'm going to check all the surveillance footage near the baptismal hall between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m."
"Yes."
The two white-clothed priests began to busily gather the video materials needed by the bishop - similarly, the skillful techniques of the two also formed a rather abrupt contrast with the ancient clothes on their bodies, and for a time even made Yi Cheng feel in a hurry to play.
"So, from here, this is what was captured by the camera that can directly see the antebule of the baptistery......
Soon, Yi Cheng saw himself and Loki sneaking in the video.
"Strange ......"
Watching the two of them walk through the core area of the Holy See unhindered, Richelieu also had a puzzled voice.
"It stands to reason that this part of the area should be guarded by high monks and paladins ......"
"You shouldn't ask me that, you should ask the guards......"
Yi Cheng didn't intend to get involved in the problems that might arise within the Holy See, he just wanted to know what he wanted to do after Loki did everything he could to bring himself here.
Unfortunately, the footage only follows the two men into the baptismal hall, for which the white-robed priest explains...... Because it is a special and sacred place, there are no surveillance cameras in the baptismal hall.
"Is there any other exit to this baptismal hall?"
"Aside from the one you entered, it's the other side that serves as the entrance to the bathhouse."
Yi Cheng, who waited for a long time and didn't see Loki come out and was a little impatient, got such an incredible answer after asking.
Still, to be sure of the odds, Icheng checked the footage from the other exit - it turned out that Loki wasn't so mad as to sneak into the bath and get away with it right under the noses of the cardinal, the inquisition, and the pope.
"Wait a minute......"
After staring at the surveillance video for a long time, Yi Cheng, who had no clue, could only prepare to ask for help from the audience outside the venue.
"Can you bring the little guy named Ellie who came with me?"
"Okay."
Perhaps it was this experience of bathing and rubbing together that made Richelieu feel a lot closer to Yicheng, and soon, the cardinal, as he wished, ordered someone to bring a mechanical lori.
"Ellie, come here, analyze this video and see if there is a possibility of a dead end."
"System analysis, please wait."
As a first-class body created by the Red Mentor himself, coupled with artificial intelligence that has evolved itself for decades, the performance is of course much stronger than the human eye, and soon, the little guy will emerge from the clues in the video.
