Not Cold [Interstellar] - Chapter 41

This is an unexpected confrontation.

Ke Wei was the first to ask: “I have always had a question that the creation **** brought the creation religion into the world, but few people trace its original origin.”

The pope remained silent: “Since the age of ignorance, the level of science and technology has been changing with each passing day. Physicists have explained the origin of the universe with the Big Bang theory. This is just a speculation. For thousands of years, although it cannot be verified, most of the masses have Accepted.”

“The universe was not created by God. All creatures and creatures are not created by God. The existence of omnipotent gods is questioned, the most basic belief system is shaken, the decline of religion is inevitable, the rise of atheists is inevitable, people have no faith, and money is In China, materialism has become a new belief, and morality has yielded in the face of interests. This is a dark age.”

The pope paused and sighed: “The more things you get, the more empty you feel, and you feel so terrified that you can’t ask for half a moment of peace of mind. This is a…very terrible thing. Just like drug addiction, people even Realized it, but it’s hard to quit.”

“God also calls people who can’t wake up and pretend to sleep, because they don’t want to wake up.” Ke Wei said lightly: “Humanity has survived for thousands of years in history, but the core essence has never really changed. Pope, you Know it better than anyone, and you never really intended to wake them up.”

The pope smiled slightly: “But I never gave up. What I am after… Ke Wei, can you see it? Can you understand it?”

He spread out the star map, which showed a miniature of the vast universe, and the planets in the human territory were shining with light, and they revolved in an orderly trajectory.

The pope’s hand retracted his sleeve: “What I seek is the long-lasting peace of human society. We are in an era of crisis, but many people mistakenly believe that our current life is prosperous and peaceful.”

Ke Wei asked sharply: “If what the Pope pursues is not what the creation **** wants, what should we humans do?”

This is a hugely disrespectful issue-it is also the first time that Ke Wei has questioned the Pope about the fundamental significance of the existence of Creationism.

The pope fell silent.

The pope spoke again, but said: “I did think about your problem.” Ke Wei was taken aback.

“It’s just that in addition to being a religious head, I am also a political leader.” The pope was not upset, but smiled: “The energy of a person’s life is limited. This is a question I cannot answer for the time being.”

“If I devote myself to religion, after years of infiltration, maybe I will have an answer. But now, I can only use my limited time to try my best to maintain the peace of human society and let our history go further. .”

The pope’s smile is different from before. At this time, he looks extraordinarily real: “Ke Wei, I am very pleased when you grow up.”

Ke Wei: “…”

Life is like a play, and turning points always make people fall apart.

Ke Wei did not expect that after knowing that he had committed a felony similar to condemnation, the pope did not throw him into the confinement room for several years to reflect on, but would affirm and praise his doubts?

“Although I don’t know what happened to you during your disappearance, you have learned to criticize and think.” The pope patted Ke Wei on the shoulder and smiled: “After the confusion and pain, you will usher in new growth.”

The pope seemed to know what he was thinking, and proactively said: “I will not betray your sins. Only the two of us know about this dialogue. I won’t let you stay in the Holy See forever. Go out and take a look. Time Go slowly, and you will always have an answer.”

Ke Wei was shocked and didn’t know what to say. At this moment, he felt that he had never known the Pope.

If you don’t know the final outcome of Zhong Yue…he will follow the Pope unswervingly like in his previous life, believe in his righteousness and ideals, and throw his blood to fight for it.

What does the Pope want?

Which of his words is true and which is false?

“Go back to our original question.” The pope said: “How did Creationism rise, Ke Wei, tell me, what do you think?”

“Creationism came up because of you.” Ke Weidao: “Three hundred years ago, you reinterpreted the doctrine and gave new meanings. You weakened the factor of God, interpreted the Creationism with the morality of the world, and advocated order. Freedom and bring religion into the parliament and form a religious government.”

The pope nodded and said in a flat tone: “The Creation Church did not rise because of me, it is the general trend. If there is no Creation Church, there will be Salvation Church, Love World Church, or anything else, even the T Party, may be established. The military government. But only me, luck is good enough.”

“I saw an opportunity to seize it like a businessman, and then provide them with the missing goods… After excessive freedom, the human mind will have an indispensable emptiness, and it is more inclined to be bound by rules. Then the Chuangshijiao is free In terms of values, it provides them with a direction for moral guidance and helps them seek inner peace.”

Ke Wei was very entangled.

He is guarding the Pope deep in his heart, but he will involuntarily agree with his views and be convinced of his remarks. The balance of trust adjusted repeatedly, making him hate his vacillation, unable to completely ignore the words of the Pope.

Because his words really make sense.

The pope nodded to him: “Come here, Ke Wei, let me check your homework.”

Ke Wei nodded heavily and walked to his side.

“The Second Army was attacked by a huge number of Zergs at the border and suffered heavy losses. You followed the Second Army back to Capital Star. What have you seen along the way?”

Ke Wei did not miss the clues: “This time the Zerg came very strange…Why are there so many worms on the border? There seems to be no explanation for the time being.”

“Hmm…” The pope thought for a moment, and confessed to him: “Ke Wei, the Zergs exist in an unknown star chart. The outbreak of this crisis has proved one thing-humans may have been underestimating the number of Zergs. “

“Concentration…breakout?”

“Yeah.” The Pope pointed his finger at the city near the border: “Before and after your attack, this galaxy was swallowed by the Zerg. The First Army went to reinforce it, but it was too late by the time.”

Ke Wei was shocked: “Why haven’t I heard any news?”

“The government will officially announce in two hours that the Second Army has lost more than half and the entire galaxy with a population of 60 million has fallen. If the news is released together, it will cause public panic.”

The pope didn’t look easy: “When the planet fell, we also lost a bishop… It’s very unfortunate that he happened to be preaching in that galaxy at the time. The bishop’s duties are great, and the jurisdiction he is responsible for cannot be left unattended. In consideration, a vote from your bishop is needed.”

The series of news caught Ke Wei off guard: “The new bishop?”

“The other two bishops strongly recommended a church staff member. Her name is Christine. The candidate will not be determined immediately. You have been away from the Holy See for a while. You can re-acquaint yourself with the personnel changes during this time.”

Ke Wei nodded and suddenly said: “Pope, the 14 billion stars in my account, why don’t I return it to the Holy See and use it as a pension?”

The pope glanced at him: “No, these money came from my private account, you just take it, now is the time to do something for yourself…cough cough.”

The Pope’s words were interrupted by a sudden violent cough. He covered his mouth with long sleeves, and his back trembled when he coughed, which seemed very painful.

Ke Wei hesitated for a moment. He held on to the Pope and expressed concern: “Do you need me to call a doctor for you?”

The Pope grasped Ke Wei’s wrist with great strength, and seemed to endure intense pain. He sat down on the chair next to him and stopped Ke Wei’s movements: “No, it’s just a cold…cough cough, I’ll be fine in a while…”

Ke Wei picked up the silver pot and wanted to pour a glass of water for the Pope to moisturize his throat, but he did not expect that what was poured out of the pot was not water, but a bitter-smelling liquid medicine.

The pope finally stopped coughing, drank the medicine in the cup, and gently adjusted his breath to rest.

Ke Wei said motionlessly, “Pope, how long have you been sick…?”

The pope looked at him quietly and said, “It won’t get in the way.”

At this moment, Ke Wei clearly felt that his feelings for the Pope were very complicated.

It was completely different from his feelings for Zhong Yue.

The Pope is his teacher, a respected elder wise man, and his half father.

He raised Ke Wei to grow up, just like his father’s natural deterrent to his children. Ke Wei was afraid of him, but could not help but want to approach him and love him. Seeing him sick, I can’t help but care and care.

The pope’s voice was a little dumb: “Go back to what we just said.”

The Pope’s daily schedule is very busy, and Ke Wei understands that he has too many things to deal with. Seeing that the Pope was reluctant to talk about his physical condition, Ke Wei had to skip this topic for now.

In the past life, in Ke Wei’s memory, the Pope’s body has never had a problem. He is very healthy, even if he catches a cold occasionally, he never needs to take medicine. He just needs to rest and pay attention to his diet to heal naturally.

There is also the strange invasion of the Zerg. The two timelines have completely different world developments, which makes Ke Wei feel uneasy.

The pope’s voice sounded: “The commander of the Second Army was killed in battle. The promotion of the new commander, and the start of reorganization and expansion of the army, is what happened in the past few months. Ke Wei, the candidate for the new commander, do you have ideas? ?”

Ke Wei cautiously said: “I don’t know much about the military. After I enter the military academy for a period of time, I may be able to express my opinion.”

The pope nodded and suddenly asked him: “What do you think of Zhong Yue?”

This was the first time after Ke Wei was born again that he heard the name of “Zhong Yue” from the pope’s mouth. After his name stopped Ke Wei’s heart, he jumped up and down.

Can’t panic.

Ke Wei told himself that his expression must appear normal. He must not let the Pope doubt Zhong Yue at this moment.
