Chapter 266 Jesus Eats Pancakes

Li Ji was stumped by the question.

He seemed to be misled by habitual thinking and the sign next to the national gate.

When I go to Disneyland, I just follow the line into a room and I can see Mickey Mouse and take a picture with him.

But logically speaking, the Pope wouldn't stand inside the church and take a photo with you just because it costs ten yuan, right?
There is only one road leading into the entire Vatican.

I've fallen into the trap of habitual thinking, just like any other human being.

We're aliens, what kind of aliens are lining up to get into tourist attractions?

Before Li Ji could speak, Dai Lulu went to chat with the passersby next to her.

A young passerby saw a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow robe in the style of the Celestial Empire, walking with an elegant cat-like gait, his waist swaying as he walked, his arms gracefully crossed in front of his chest, giving him a slight smile that exuded charm.

The young man felt a cold sweat break out on his back and quickly said, "Sorry, I'm not gay."

Delulu paused for a moment, then said, "Emmm, I see, meow. Thank you for revealing your sexual orientation on our first meeting, meow. What I wanted to ask was, does this road lead to the Pope, meow?"

The young man was taken aback: "The Pope isn't gay either."

"It's an honor to know the Pope's sexual orientation, meow. But what I'm more concerned about is whether I can meet the Pope on this road, meow?"

The young man shook his head: "I can't see it."

Dailu smiled and extended her hand: "Thank you, meow. I am Hong Xiuquan, the second son of God. You may not know me yet, but it doesn't matter. In a couple of days, the whole world will know me, meow."

The young man shook hands with her, looking somewhat bewildered: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Hong."

"In recognition of your outstanding contributions to the cause of my Church, I hereby appoint you as a bishop, in charge of the Vatican, meow. What's your name, meow?"

Dailulu's erratic remarks had a certain impact on the young man's mind.

This caused the young man to lose his facial expressions and experience a language loading failure.

The young man saw God and Jesus behind Delulu and quickly processed Delulu's words.

It must be a segment from an online celebrity trying to create a stir, so I'll play along.

"My name is Steve."

"Very good, Steve. In three days, I will arrange for you to take over the Vatican and preside over the religious situation here, meow. Goodbye, meow."

The elderly woman from the Celestial Empire, dressed in a yellow robe, turned and left, leaving Steve standing there.

Li Ji and his group re-entered Italy, searching for new paths around the Vatican walls.

"The Vatican has limited areas open to tourists, and the actual residence of the Pope is inaccessible. We need to find another way."

He pointed to the city wall next to him and said, "The Pope's private garden is behind this. We can just climb over it when no one is looking in the middle of the night."

"So what do we do now, meow?"

"Let's eat. Now that we're in Italy, we have to try some authentic Italian food—pizza!"

Li Ji suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.

He twitched his nose, carefully discerning the scent.

"I never expected to find such delicious food here. Come with me."

Li Ji dashed out in one stride.

The remaining three followed closely behind.

Shark Baby was overjoyed: "Time for pizza! Hehe!"

"What is pizza?" Milia asked curiously.

Shark Baby shook its head.

"Then why are you so agitated, meow?"

"I get excited whenever there's something delicious to eat. Hehe."

The three followed Li Ji to a small food cart.

The aroma of noodles wafted from the food cart, mingling with the hot scent of eggs, filling the air.

A long queue of people had formed in front of the food truck.

Li Ji and his group were five or six meters away from the food truck.

In the crowd, God kept jumping and peeking inside. A wheat-colored pancake was spread out on a huge griddle.

The young chef from China skillfully cracked two eggs onto the pancake.

Then use a brush to spread the egg evenly.

Add fried dough sticks, pork tenderloin, and chopped green onions.

The pancakes were steaming hot.

"So this is pizza. It looks delicious."

Looking at the large group of locals in front of her, Delulu exclaimed, "So many locals are queuing up, this pizza must be really authentic, meow."

Milia looked around and asked, "Where did Li Ji go?"

"He's at the very front!" Shark Baby shouted excitedly.

"How did he get to the front, meow? Does Jesus get to cut in line, meow?"

In fact, Li Ji was pushed to the front by the crowd.

He caused a small commotion as soon as he reached the back of the line.

Soon, people started saying things like "Jesus came first" and made way for him.

He inexplicably walked to the front.

"No wonder this is Rome; even cosplaying Jesus can get you this much attention."

Seeing this, Dailulu wanted to follow suit, so she shouted, "I am Hong Xiuquan, meow! Make way for me, meow!"

Everyone turned to look at her as if she were an idiot, then turned back to watch Jesus buy jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes).

The Chinese proprietress inside the food cart greeted him with a smile in fluent Italian: "Oh, Jesus! What would you like to order?"

Looking at the familiar Chinese face, Li Ji blurted out in his thick Tianjin accent, "Sister, give me two jianbing guozi, two guozi, two eggs, plus scallions and pork tenderloin."

The proprietress was stunned; she mentally went through all the possible European languages.

Finally, he asked in English, "Excuse me, could you please say it again?"

Li Ji realized that perhaps his Tianjin dialect was not standard enough, so he switched to Mandarin, slowed down his speech, and said clearly and distinctly, "Sister, give me two jianbing guozi, two guozi, two eggs, plus scallions and pork tenderloin."

The proprietress then realized, "Jesus can speak Chinese?"

Lee Ki then realized that he was cosplaying Jesus.

He spouted nonsense: "Jesus loves the world and speaks every language so that he can spread love to everyone in the world."

Suddenly, a Chinese student studying abroad appeared out of nowhere in the crowd and translated the passage for everyone.

The jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) stall was met with thunderous applause.

Li Ji was a little confused.

I don't know why I received so much applause for buying a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe). Maybe this is the kind of treatment Jesus gets.

He waved behind him: "The Lord loves you!"

The proprietress started making jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) while chatting with Li Ji, "Are you here to watch the Pope's procession?"

"What parade?"

The proprietress cracked an egg: "The Pope will be parading through the streets south of Rome in a little while. Many tourists are here to watch, so there are far fewer people in St. Peter's Square today."

Li Ji hadn't expected to catch the Pope's tour; perhaps this was a suitable opportunity.

By infiltrating the Pope's entourage, one can have the opportunity to follow the Pope into the hidden areas of the Vatican.

There are fewer people there, making it easier to take action, which allows Delulu and the others to do whatever they want.

Thinking of this, Li Ji could only say to the Pope, "God bless you."

Li Ji took the pancake and handed over the banknotes as well.

The other party handed over two coins.

Li Ji habitually opened his palm, and the coin fell to the ground through the hole in his palm, making a crisp sound.
