The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 108: Church Bell (Part 2)

It was noon at this time, and there were not many tourists on the street. Gu Tie walked slowly past Potocki Palace, Carmelite Church, National Temple of God, and saw this trip across the gate of Warsaw University. The destination of Santa Croce, compared with the majestic and exquisite stone buildings along the way, the Gothic facade of Santa Croce is not amazing. If it weren’t for the heart of the piano poet Chopin, the travel company would simply Would not include this small church in the tourist route,

At this moment, most of the church’s façade is covered with scaffolding, covered with green splash-proof nets, and a large "under repair" sign hangs high on the bell tower. Several tourists stood in front of the church door for a while, regrettably Shook his head and walked away,

"Of course, under repair." Gu Tie sat down on the bench diagonally across from the church, and looked at the church with the closed door. The stool sensed someone sitting down, and automatically started playing Chopin's piano music, melodiously dropping e. The "Puppy" waltz in the major tune flutters in the Polish autumn sunshine. The vendor handed ice cream to the smiling little girl. The electric tour bus dinged by, the police helped the old woman up the steps, and a few students were beside the flower bed. Playing around, everything looked calm and normal, it was an ordinary day with wonderful weather, Gu Tie stood up, took off his sunglasses, patted his butt, and walked to the opposite church door.

"The church is closed for maintenance, sir." When passing the Krakow Street, a tour guide with four or five tourists happened to pass by and kindly reminded those who were carrying large and small bags, Everyone has an expensive SLR camera hanging around his neck, but the middle-aged person who has been using the automatic gear to take pictures is a member of a tour group from China.

"Thank you for reminding me. I am the staff of the church." Gu Tiecu squeezed his eyes narrowly and replied in fluent Chinese. The tour guide and tourists were stunned, and immediately there were two middle-aged people in surprise. He rushed over to take a photo with his Polish friends who understand Chinese. Gu Tie waved his hand quickly to avoid the entanglement of Chinese compatriots.

Went to the front door and pushed it. It really was locked tightly, but Gu Tie found that the small door left for construction workers to pass on the west side was hidden. He looked left and right calmly and put his right hand in his pocket. Slowly push open the beautifully decorated cherry wood door with your left hand,

Stepping into the church hall composed of white granite columns, arcades and complex decorative lines, only the sound of his own footsteps echoes on the smooth marble floor. There are also scaffolding on the west wall of the church, but the building is not visible. The workers are working, the whole church is empty, the exquisite crystal chandeliers are not turned on, sunlight is projected from the stained glass windows, and colorful broken spots are printed on the black and white floor,

Since just now, Gu Tie has been mobilizing all investigative methods to confirm the surrounding conditions, and still came to a safe conclusion, but there is no detection equipment installed inside the Holy Cross Cathedral. To find clues, you have to rely on your own With a pair of eyes, he walked slowly towards the magnificent shrine, and his right hand quietly opened the safety of the Glock pistol.

The surface of the column on the left hand side has an exquisite marble relief, and the name of the Polish pianist: Friedrich Chopin is engraved behind the withered flowers. The Polish text on the column reads: "Chopin's heart is buried here. "

The corresponding column on the right hand side also has a marble relief, where the heart of the famous writer Vladislav Lemont is buried. Few people know that this Nobel Prize-winning writer is also quiet in the Cathedral of Santa Croce. Jing Watch,

If the circumstances are not special, Gu Tieting would like to sit still in front of the two thinkers to see if he can talk to the soul full of wisdom, but now, there are other things to worry about. The muscles of the Chinese should be properly relaxed. Listening to the small noises from the inside of the church, ready to make avoidance and counterattacks at any time,

Lao Zhao, the housekeeper, often said that Kungfu should be practiced to the highest point like Li Shuwen, the grandfather of the ancestor. He has a calm mind, knows the machine and accompanies the spirit. He slapped the top door with a slap, and slammed his head and neck into the cavity. Gu Tie had never seen such a legendary stranger, but he was surrounded by many veterans who fought in the flames of war and fought for a long time. Naturally, there is a vague sense of danger. Someone can immediately feel the reaction when aiming at the gun. This is probably a realm of knowing the machine to avoid danger, and "seeking good luck and avoiding evil" belongs to all animals. Instinct, if human beings are not blinded by wine and meat, they should be born with this ability. Just like now, Gu Tie adjusts his breathing and relaxes his body in order to increase his natural sensitivity to changes in the surrounding environment. A cold spine, then nothing good will happen,

Gu Tie stayed vigilant and moved forward and walked to the mass area. The Holy Cross Cathedral is managed by the Catholic Mission. It is open to tourists and also undertakes the mission of the Parish Mass. Of course, at this time, it is in the eight rows of backrest benches. There is no one, except for the back of the man in the first row,

On the bench near the altar sits a gray-haired old man. Hearing Gu Tie’s footsteps approaching, he did not look back and showed an unexpected expression. The Chinese did not feel a dangerous breath from him. On the contrary, from The heavy breathing of the old man can tell that he is being plagued by pain, and even breathing in and out will bring pain,

Such an old man, appearing in this empty church at this time, must show a cause and effect. At this moment, the text input box in the upper right corner of Gu Tie’s field of vision flickered twice without warning, and disappeared without a trace. There is only one explanation for this phenomenon: the network connection was interrupted. He looked around, took out the phone and scanned the signal on the screen. The signal was completely normal, indicating that it was connected to the Internet, and the implanted chip buried in the body could also receive the wifi transmitted by the phone. Signal, but stays at the login interface, no matter how I try, I can’t log in to the quantum computer,

A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead. This is a situation that Gu Tie has never encountered before. When the access is good, Genesis refused to log in, which generally means insufficient permissions. The most serious situation is that the Quantum Network account is cancelled. ,,, for Gu Tie, it is destruction,

The Chinese tried their best to calm their minds and walked slowly to the altar. The gray-haired old man never looked back. Gu Tie slowly walked to the second row of benches, sat down behind the old man, and gently placed his right index finger on the pistol trigger. , Due to the network interruption, he could not use the instant-translated Polish, so he asked softly in English: "Are you here to pray alone, sir."

"...God is with us, we are never alone, children." The old man replied in English with a strong accent but elegant words. As there was no one in the church, his low voice echoed in the sky for a long time. With a vigorous reverberation, he turned his head slightly and cast a curious look at the young man behind him. The old man has a big nose that attracts attention, his brown eyes are hidden in deep wrinkles, and his long white eyebrows hang down. To the corner of his eye, Gu Tie actually saw this person, and he said blankly: "Danda."

"Call me Zygmunt, kid." The old man turned his gaze back and looked at the icon on the altar in front of him. "You are completely different from what I imagined. I admit that I was a little surprised by your appearance,,, sorry."

Sygmund Danda, this name is familiar to anyone who is familiar with the contemporary era. As one of the only remaining great Polish writers, Danda, who won the Nobel Prize in 2021, is a living Polish contemporary. Monumental, his "Cowardice and Destruction" trilogy is hailed as the most expressive realist work after Lemont's "The Farmer". Gu Tie fantasizes about 10,000 scenes that may be encountered in the Basilica of the Holy Cross. There is no such thing as sitting and talking with the gray-haired people,

"I'm also a little surprised by my own appearance,...Zygmunt." After waking up, Gu Tie made a little joke. This dejected look is indeed not something that the public can appreciate, "You Say you are waiting for me."

"Actually I didn't know who I was waiting for until noon today." The great writer said lightly, "You came too late, what is delaying your schedule."

The direct train to Warsaw flashed through the Chinese people’s minds, "Many things, the important thing is that I’m here, Sigmund, why are you waiting for me, what’s going on with that train, Hasegawa Koizaka is here? Where, do you know that the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office is staring at him, what is the relationship between you." He threw a series of questions in his mind,

"I can't answer those." Danda shook his head slightly, "The reason why I met you here is because there is a message from your father that must be conveyed to you. That is my only mission, you are ready Did you listen."

"My father...'s message, he can call me or leave a message on the Internet. By the way, his call has been transferred to the voice mail box. Is he in trouble?" Gu Tie didn't. After reacting, remembering that I called Dr. Bartholomew not long ago, I can’t help but wonder,

"Similarly, I can't answer your question." The old man repeated calmly, "Are you ready to listen."

The Chinese hurriedly said seriously: "Ready, Zygmunt."

"Time is passing, and you will face a test. Before that day comes, you must protect yourself, because you are our only hope." The great writer said, "This is the message, have you received it."

Gu Tie stunned: "What, I...I don't know much..."

"Did you receive it." Danda repeated,

"Yes, I received it." Gu Tie nodded and answered,

"Then, my mission is over." The old man sighed for a long time. "For many years, I have been pursuing the meaning of life. I want to see the world behind the tulle of death. God gave me Guidance, but that person, who gave me the answer, compared to the enlightenment and gift I received, completing the task of sending a message has become trivial. If you have a chance to meet that person, I hope you will thank him for me."

"I, I don't understand..." the Chinese murmured,

"Goodbye, child, in that world."

Sigmund Danda’s voice was filled with joy. After saying goodbye, he did not speak again. For a long time, Gu Tie stood up slowly and walked to the first row of benches.

The old man had a dagger stuck in his chest, his eyes closed peacefully, and he fell into a long sleep,

The bell of the Basilica of Santa Croce rang,
