Chapter 41 Chapter Forty

"Is this true?" the Pope's servant turned around and asked Olivetti, looking astonished. "Sir," Olivetti said with certainty, "I admit that there is indeed something here, which can be seen on one of our security monitors, but as to the power of this thing that Ms. Witterer claims, I'm afraid I can't." -" "Wait," said the pope's chamberlain, "can you see this thing?" "Yes, sir, wireless camera 86 has captured images." "Then why don't you find it?" At this moment, the pope's servant's voice was sullen.

"It's hard, sir." Olivetti stood up straight as he explained the situation. The pope's chamberlain listened to Olivetti, and Victoria felt that he was getting more and more anxious. "Are you sure that thing is in the Vatican City?" he asked, "Maybe someone took the camera out of the Vatican City, and the picture came back from somewhere outside." "That's impossible," Olivetti said. "Our exterior walls are electronically shielded to protect our communication systems inside. The signal can only come from the inside, otherwise we wouldn't be able to receive it." .”

"In this case, I think," the Pope's servant said, "you are now mobilizing all your efforts to find this missing camera?" Olivetti shook his head and said, "I didn't, sir. It would have taken hundreds of man-hours to locate this camera. We have a lot of other security issues to deal with at this time, and we respect Ms. Wittler's opinion, but The droplets she's talking about are so small that it's impossible for them to explode like she said." Victoria couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted, "That droplet is enough to level the entire Vatican City! Didn't you hear a word I told you?"

"Ma'am," said Olivetti, his words emphatic, "I have a lot of experience with explosives." "Your experience is nothing but rotten millet." She retorted, with the same strong tone, "Although my clothes are not pleasing to your eyes, I am a senior physicist from the world's top subatomic research institution." Home. I personally designed the antimatter device to prevent the annihilation reaction of antimatter. Now I warn you that unless you find the antimatter storage within the next six hours, your guards will have nothing to protect in the next century, except A big hole in the ground."

Olivetti turned suddenly to the Pope's chamberlain, his worm-like eyes gleaming with anger. "Sir, I can't let this go on any longer. The pranksters are wasting your time. The Illuminati? Destroying one of our tiny droplets?" "Stop it," said the pope's servant.He spoke these words calmly, but his voice seemed to echo in the room for a long time.Then the room fell silent.He then whispered: "It doesn't matter whether it's dangerous or not, whether it's the Illuminati or not, no matter what it is, it should never appear in the Vatican City... let alone when a secret meeting is held." It's night. I hope to find that thing and take it away. Send for it at once."

Olivetti persisted. "Sir, even if we send everyone out to search everywhere, it will take days to find this camera. Also, after speaking with Ms. Wittler, I have sent a guard to look up our most authoritative "Ballistics Guide" , looking for this thing called antimatter, and I found that it wasn't mentioned in the book at all. There wasn't any at all." Idiot, Victoria murmured to herself, "Guide to Ballistics"?Have you checked the encyclopedia? ! Olivetti was still chattering: "Sir, if you let us search the entire Vatican City with a pair of naked eyes, then forgive me."

"Commander," the Pope's servant was already burning with anger, "I remind you that when you talk to me, you must also respect the authority of this office. I know you don't take my position seriously—but Anyway, by law, I'm in charge. If I'm not mistaken, the cardinals are all supposed to be gathered in the Sistine Chapel by now. I don't see why you're taking so long to search this thing, if If I don't understand clearly, I feel as if you are deliberately creating danger for the secret meeting." Olivetti looked contemptuous. "How dare you! I served your Pope for twelve years! I served the Pope before him for fourteen years! From 1438 the Swiss Guard—"

At this moment, the walkie-talkie strapped to Olivetti's waist suddenly rang loudly, interrupting his words. "commander?" Olivetti grabbed the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button. "No time now! What are you doing!!" "I'm sorry," said the Swiss guard on the radio, "I'm in the Communications Department. I thought I'd tell you that we've had a threatening phone call about an explosion threat." Olivetti looked less indifferent now. "Check it out right away! Track down this call and write it down." "We checked, sir, but the caller..." the guard paused, "I didn't mean to bother you, Commander, but he mentioned that thing you just taught me to look up, antimatter."

Everyone in the room was stunned and looked at each other. "What did he mention?" Olivetti stammered. "Antimatter, sir. While we were tracking his phone, I did some additional research based on what he said. Some info on antimatter...frankly, pretty bad." "I remember you saying the Ballistics Guide didn't mention that stuff." "I found it online." Wow, Victoria exclaimed inwardly. "This thing seems to be extremely easy to explode," the guard said. "It's hard to say that this information is accurate, but it says that the power of antimatter is likely to be a hundred times more powerful than a nuclear warhead."

Olivetti went limp, as if he was watching the land fall apart.Victoria felt a surge of triumph, but the terrified look on the Pope's chamberlain's face wiped out her pleasure. "Did you track down that call?" Olivetti stammered. "Unfortunately, he has a very difficult passcode on his phone. The satellite dish is jammed, triangulation can't be done, the signal on the infogatherer shows him somewhere in Rome, but I really have no way of tracking him .” "Did he ask for something?" Olivetti asked in a low voice. "No, sir, he was just warning us that there was antimatter in the city. He seemed surprised that I didn't know about it. He also asked me if I had seen antimatter. You asked me about antimatter, so I decided to inform you."

"You did the right thing," Olivetti said. "I'll be down right away. If he calls back, let me know right away." There was a pause on the intercom. "He hasn't hung up yet, sir." Olivetti seemed to have been shocked, "Still on the phone?" "Yes, sir, we've been following him for ten minutes, but have found nothing but extensive searching. He must know we can't find him, because he refuses to hang up and asks to speak to the Pope's chamberlain. .” "Put him in." The Pope's servant ordered: "Connect immediately!" Olivetti turned around and said, "Father, this can't be like this. It would be much more appropriate for a well-trained Swiss guard to negotiate with him to deal with this matter." "Connect immediately!" Olivetti had to send an order to connect to the phone. After a while, the phone on the desk of Pope Ventersk's chamberlain rang.He pressed hard on the call button with his finger, and suddenly there was a voice. "Who do you really think you are?"
