Chapter 271 The Pope Returns to the Palace to Face New Challenges

In the papal palace office.

The entire room was resplendent in gold.

The high dome is decorated with stained glass religious windows.

Li Ji carefully admired the image of Jesus on the wall.

Delulu leaned back on the leather sofa, gently stroking the arm of the marble sculpture.

Milia opened the window, and a dark shadow flew in.

After spinning two and a half times in the air, Shark landed smoothly.

"Qiang Qiang!"

The three of them immediately gathered around.

"How is the Pope?"

"He is fine, in good health, and emotionally stable."

"That's fine."

Li Ji lay back comfortably on the sofa: "Now, all we have to do is wait for the Pope to return."

He picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV.

The television station is broadcasting the latest developments in the Pope's kidnapping case.

The reporter was interviewing a policeman who had just climbed out of a sewer drain in a small alley.

His police boots were covered in filthy mud, and there were many wet marks on his shoulders and hat.

Lee Ki keenly noticed the reporter's nose twitching slightly, as if he couldn't hide the discomfort caused by the stench.

"Officer, I'd like to ask about the latest developments in the search for the Pope. Are you certain that the Pope was taken into the sewers by the suspect?"

"It's just a possibility. The investigation is still ongoing. Sorry, we need to get back to work."

The officer forced a smile and quickly walked away.

He's completely confused right now.

They've practically turned Rome's sewers upside down, but they haven't seen a trace of the Pope.

Not only that, but they also found 18 unidentified, decaying corpses in the sewers, whose age was unknown.

The Pope was not found, and 18 more long-standing cases were uncovered.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Suddenly a voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Sir, it seems we have spotted the Pope at the very beginning."

"I'll be right there."

As soon as the police car started moving, the news van followed closely behind.

The news anchor excitedly announced, "The police seem to have located the Pope, and we're on our way. May God bless the Pope and keep him safe."

Looking at the chaotic scene on the television, Li Ji couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he's the leader of hundreds of millions of Catholics. So many people are concerned about his disappearance and are busy with everything. I can't imagine how happy they'll be when they find the Pope."

Shark Baby, holding a soda, sat at Li Ji's feet and chuckled foolishly: "Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine how happy they'll be."

"They'll be even happier when the Pope declares Hong Xiuquan's legitimacy to the world, meow."

Hong Xiuquan stood on the desk, his sharp eyes fixed on the image of Jesus on the wall.

"Why did you transform again?"

"Of course, it's to prepare for welcoming the Pope, meow. I can't imagine how happy he'll be to see me, meow."

"hope so."

A sudden burst of noise from the television attracted everyone's attention.

The footage is blurry and shaky.

All that could be seen was a group of people rushing forward amidst flashing warning lights.

The police car's high beams shone like spotlights on an indescribable mass, making it impossible to see what it was.

The lens gradually came into focus.

The Pope was wearing a gray halter-neck bodycon dress, but the bulky fat on his chest and abdomen made the tight dress look unsightly.

She wore a black silk jumpsuit that was stretched open at the top of her thighs, revealing her pale skin through the thin black threads.

The Pope was bound hand and foot like a dumpling, with a black stocking stuffed in his mouth.

He struggled like a worm, trying his best to turn over and face away from the crowd.

"It's the Pope!" The Pope struggled desperately, making muffled noises.

The camera suddenly fell to the ground, and the live stream was interrupted.

The three of them stared in disbelief at the television.

Only Shark Baby kept giggling.

Li Ji could hardly believe what he was seeing: "Why did you change his clothes like that?"

“His original shirt got wet, so I looked through his wardrobe and these two were the closest to his style.”

Li Ji glanced at the photo of the Pope in a white robe on the table, and then recalled the eye-catching bodycon halter dress on the screen earlier.

"Where are you getting close? You really should brush up on your Earth clothing with Delulu."

Shark tilted its head: "I think they're about the same."

"Never mind, it's nothing serious. It's the Pope who's embarrassed, not us. He has even more embarrassing things to do. He'll be back soon, so let's be prepared."

-

The Pope rolled around on the ground frantically.

But countless mobile phones were pointed at him from all around, flashing incessantly.

A religious official removed his robe and draped it over the pope.

Surrounded by police and religious personnel, the pope was escorted into a car.

The Pope sat in the back seat, his face ashen.

An attendant handed over a clean and tidy set of clothes.

The Pope remained silent, simply changing his clothes quietly.

The policeman in the front seat asked cautiously, "What happened?"

The accompanying staff member said, "Let's ask later."

The Pope raised his hand: "No need, let's talk now."

The Pope explained the whole story in detail.

"Finally, he lifted me out of the window and jumped out, landing on all fours like a leopard, and disappeared in an instant."

“I’m sorry to have startled you. We will intensify our investigation and arrest the mastermind as soon as possible.”

The Pope nodded, smoothed out the wrinkles in his white robe, and adjusted the small white hat on his head in front of the mirror.

Wearing familiar clothes, sitting in a familiar car, surrounded by familiar people.

He gradually recovered from his initial shock.

The tense nerves relaxed slightly, and the tightly locked body could also open up a little.

But he still dared not close his eyes, like a vigilant eagle, constantly looking out the car window.

The attendants on either side said, "Your Holiness, you can relax. Rest assured, security in the Vatican is all in place. Once we return to the Vatican, there will be no more danger."

"But I still have some worries."

"You don't need to worry, the Vatican will always be your solid fortress. However, your appearance has already been photographed by onlookers. But don't worry, we will use public relations to delete the photos from social media as soon as possible. We will not allow any of the photos to circulate online."

The police officers in the front row silently unliked the video of the Pope in drag.

The Pope nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

He leaned back in his seat, looking out the window at the familiar city.

At that moment, he had no other thoughts in his mind. He didn't care what would happen tomorrow or what would happen to his reputation.

All he wanted was to return to this familiar palace, to his own bed, and get a good night's sleep, leaving all his troubles for tomorrow.

It can't get any worse than it is now.

The Pope returned to his room under the escort of his bodyguards. He turned on the light and dismissed everyone around him.

Looking at this familiar bedroom, his heart found boundless peace.

He sat on the bed, stroking his sheets.

"Thank God, I'm finally back."

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.

"Leo, is something the matter?"

The door was pushed open, and four bodyguards were lying sprawled on the floor.
