    "Know this day that the LORD your God is going before you like a consuming fire to consume them and to subdue them before you. Then you will drive them out and cause their swift destruction, just as the LORD has said."  Under Charles's cross-examination, the elderly Father Busani said something that puzzled Charles.  Although Ciel knew the source of the entire sentence, it had nothing to do with the topic they were talking about, so he couldn't understand the underlying meaning of this sentence at all.  Ciel was confused and a little uneasy, because the meaning behind this passage really gave people an ominous premonition.  This passage is the original text in the Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of the Bible. It records the prospects of the children of Israel, the difficulties they will encounter on the other side of the Jordan River, and the final instructions given by Moses to the people.  As we all know, the Israelites lived a very miserable life at that time. Their homeland was destroyed, and their descendants were displaced, enslaved and massacred. In this living environment, it is natural that the desire for a savior and the hatred for a desperate world would breed.  Therefore, the Old Testament they wrote is full of absurd yet cruel foreshadowings, full of hatred that destroys everything.  But what does this have to do with yourself?  Who is this ¡°Israelite¡± who is full of grievances and hatred and wants to destroy all enemies?  While Charles was still in a daze, suspiciously thinking about the meaning of the priest's words, the priest changed the topic again.  "Child, is this prisoner's name important? Why do you want to know the answer so enthusiastically?" "It can't be said to be very important" Charles replied with some embarrassment, "But, as a curious person, I am very curious.  As for people, since I know part of one thing, I can¡¯t wait to know the other parts of the thing. Only in this way can my curiosity be satisfied and my mind calm down. " "That is to say,  You want to get to the bottom of it just to satisfy your excessive curiosity, right?¡± The priest smiled bitterly, ¡°For such a purpose, you came over on your own and forced me to uncover the scars of the past.  Revealing the dusty past will leave everyone with no peace" "Isn't it too much to say that? If you don't want to tell me, for the sake of politeness, I will not force an old man to tell the truth.  Yes, you just need to make it clear what you mean!" Charles was a little unhappy, and his tone became a little more serious.  "Father, please believe that I have no intention of embarrassing anyone." "I don't have much to add to tell you, because in order to rescue Bertuccio, I have already made everything clear to the judge. Unless another  The judge came up to me and asked me to repeat it. "The priest sighed, "It's not because I'm neglecting you, but because I can't say anything more." "But based on what I got, you can't.  In fact, it didn¡¯t go into too much detail, and there were too many ambiguities¡ª¡± Charles saw that the other party¡¯s tone had softened, so he began to test again, ¡°You told the judge at the time that this diamond belonged to a then  A British nobleman who was imprisoned in the Chateau d'If gave it to a young prison inmate of his at that time for friendship. Then the young inmate gave the diamond to you before he died, hoping that you can help him transfer it to  His friends" As he spoke, Charles watched the priest carefully, observing his reaction.  Although he also knew that this was not appropriate and that the other party had clearly revealed that he was not willing to cooperate, in order to understand the doubts in his heart, Charles still chose to continue the interrogation, even if it made him look a bit aggressive.  "Yes, that's what I said. I'm really lucky that you could find it out." The priest's expression didn't change at all, but his brows raised slightly.  "So, who are the British nobles and the inmates?" Charles asked, "Actually, the investigators were very confused about this, because they looked up the list of prisoners in the prison at that time, and there was no one there.  Find someone who matches your description at that time - so some people suspect that this is actually a fictional story by you. " No!  As soon as these words were spoken, Ciel felt that something was wrong.  Isn¡¯t this just a warning?  How could I say this?  He groaned secretly in his heart, blaming himself for his negligence.  This question is irrelevant, but the extended question is a bit fatal - when Kongze was investigating in the Chateau d'If, not only did he not find out the British nobleman who gave the diamond to the person mentioned by Father Busani, he also didn't even find out  The traces left by Father Bouchani himself in the Chateau d'If.  Now that he has revealed the former, Father Busani must have guessed it, and the investigators canto the latter.  In other words, he already knows that all his fictional stories have been exposed!  A complete shocker.  This is a huge oversight!  How could I say something like this without thinking?  Ciel suddenly fell into regret.  However, his panic quickly passed away and he regained his composure.  After all, since the mistake has been made, there is no point in regretting and being upset. It is better to just make the mistake and see how Father Busani covers himself.  Although there will be negative effects in striking the enemy, it also has some positive effects. At least it can break the opponent's psychological defense and make him panic. When people are in panic, they will inevitably reveal some flaws.  Sure enough, as Charles expected, after Charles said that the investigators had been to Eve Castle, the priest's eyes suddenly widened, apparently shaken in some way.  Then, he frowned and opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to scold Ciel and angrily scold them for their rude behavior, but in the end, he still didn't say anything, just deep in thought, seemingly thinking about how to deal with this sudden incident.  The bad news.  "Do you remember?" Charles waited for a long time, but the other party still didn't speak, so he became a little impatient and asked again, "Father, who is the person who left the diamond for you? Now" "  I've forgotten that name!" A loud shout interrupted Charles, and then the priest stood up and looked at Charles sternly, "This is an ominous person, a complete unlucky guy.  I don¡¯t need to remember the name of a fool who is dying and still doesn¡¯t know what sin he has committed! I can only wait for the judgment of the end of the world to come, for God to spread His righteous fire all over the world, and for sinners to wail in hell.  It was only then that I could remember this name.¡±¡­ What happened to him?  Is this going to explode?  It was almost an instinctive reaction. When the priest stood up from his seat, Charles immediately jumped up from his seat, and then quickly took a step back, taking a defensive posture.  It wasn¡¯t that he overreacted, it was that the priest was too fierce. Almost for a moment, Charles forgot that this was a dying old man. Instead, he instinctively felt the extreme danger and subconsciously prepared to defend himself.  Fortunately, the violent storm did not come. The priest just stood there angrily, looking at Ciel with an angry look, and did not attack Ciel.  Charles didn¡¯t expect that he would detonate the priest with just one sentence.  Why is he so angry?  Is it because Ciel is forcing him to say that name?  Why did the name anger him so much?  "We can only wait for the judgment of the end of the world to come, wait until God spreads the fire of his justice all over the world, and wait until sinners howl in hell" Ciel suddenly thought of something.  ¡°Isn¡¯t this talking about Edmond Dant¨¨s who died unjustly?  "Youyou mean that the prisoner who gave you the diamond was imprisoned unjustly?" Charles lowered his voice, "Father, is that what you mean?" "I don't mean anything, I just want to say  "You asked too many questions and I don't want to answer them," the priest replied flatly.  He no longer concealed his hostility towards Ciel, so his eyes were full of sharp light, "Mr. Treville, you said that investigators are investigating me, so if you are not involved, I ask you to tell them  , all these investigations they conducted are disrespectful. As I just said to you, as a clergyman, I am obliged to keep everyone¡¯s deathbed confession confidential, so I have no questions about this matter.  "You can tell me." "If you want to do this, I will tell you." Charles took a deep breath and relaxed himself from the war. "But I remind you that it is the state that investigates all these things.  Machines, they will not stop because of your obstruction, nor will they be unable to investigate the truth because of your obstruction. Your silence will only make you suspect by them - originally based on your  No one will doubt your identity and prestige. Why would you put yourself in such a dangerous situation? " "If they want to investigate me, then let them investigate." The priest said coldly.  Answered, and then sat back on his seat, "My innocence can be judged by God. Mortal laws can neither judge me nor stop me." "Can I think that what you mean is that you admit that you were  Made up the facts?" Charles took a deep breath again, and then asked the other party again, "No one gave you the diamond.He made up a story and gave the diamond to the innkeeper¡ª¡ª" The priest did not answer. This matter was now very clear, so he seemed to feel that there was no point in quibbling, so he simply acquiesced. "Anyway, Charles can't get it now.  Any evidence. "Father Busani, you are not a prisoner now. You have not participated in any crime, so even if you make up a story and deceive someone, it is your freedom and it is harmless - as a human being, no one will do it.  What about some shit?  But" Charles looked at the other party seriously, "If you bring danger to France or a French citizen, the situation will be very different.  The diamond you gave to the innkeeper caused a murder, and the death of two people was related to it. Of course, I know that the direct responsibility is not on you, but greed ruined their lives.  " "God is judging some people, but it's just through my hands.  "Although the corners of the priest's mouth trembled slightly, he gave a slightly mocking smile, "Carderousse is a sinful bastard. He is not worthy of the gifts God gave him, so he got the retribution he deserved.  " Caderousse was the owner of that inn. He and his wife killed the jeweler who came to buy his diamonds with a huge sum of money. His wife was also killed by the jeweler during the fight. "Then there are others.  Do you want to get the comeuppance you deserve?  Charles asked back. "How many more people does God intend to use your hand to retaliate against?"  " "You can guess as much as you like.  "Father Bushani shrugged, "If you came to visit me today for interrogation, then you can go back, I don't have anything else to say.  "Although the priest has issued an eviction order in person, Charles has no intention of saying goodbye and leaving now. Instead, he takes a step forward. "You want me to leave, and you want me to shut up. This is your right as the master.  I will obey.  Okay, so before I leave, I have one last question for you, a very simple question, can you answer it?  Father, I hope you will, for God's sake, answer this question truthfully because it affects so many lives and how I want to treat you.  "    "what is the problem?  "The priest asked in a hissing voice. He seemed to be very impatient with Charles's torment. "Have you ever been to Eve Castle Prison?  Charles smiled slightly, and then suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question. "There is no doubt that you still don't have to answer this question, but if you don't answer this question, then I will have to be like some people.  The most dangerous subject to treat you, because everything is really too unusual and we have to take it seriously.  "There was another silence. Time passed by bit by bit, but Charles was calm and collected, waiting for his answer. His question was not only for Father Busani, but it was actually for the Count of Monte Cristo. "Yes  Yes, by now, Charles had already seen the clues. In other words, after seeing Lord Wilmore's true identity at that time, he had already made similar guesses in his mind before coming to visit Father Busani.  Yes, Father Bushany is actually the Count of Monte Cristo himself. Since Lord Wilmore is pretending, Father Bushany can also be pretending, so after discovering this fact, Charles was not too surprised.  It is difficult for an energetic man to play the role of a dying old man who is full of senility, not to mention that the priest was too excited just now, so he could not maintain his performance. When he subconsciously stood up and wanted to stop Charles  , the air of weakness was gone. It was clear that Father Bushani was not an old man, but a man in his prime, and that he was pretended to be the same person as Lord Wilmore.  It was obvious that Father Busani was also a fictional identity created by the Count of Monte Cristo. However, during his questioning, he also revealed that he had been investigating the Count of Monte Cristo and had already found out about a series of crimes in Marseille and Chateau d'If.  The deeds of old things, so the Count of Monte Cristo must be alert now and realize that his true identity has been revealed by Charles. I know you are acting, you also know that I know you are acting, but the two of us.  They all tacitly pretended that no one noticed that the other was acting. It was quite complicated when you think about it, but it was actually very simple. Since the Count of Monte Cristo was planning everything, it would be easier to handle.  Everything can be explained.bsp; "Know this day that the LORD your God is going before you like a consuming fire to consume them and to subdue them before you. Then you will drive them out and cause their swift destruction, just as the LORD has said.  "We can only wait for the doomsday judgment to come, for God to spread his righteous fire across the world, and for sinners to wail in hell" He is venting his anger, and he is threatening Ciel. He has already noticed that Ciel is approaching.  Therefore, he claimed that he wanted to subdue all enemies and advised Charles not to be his enemy. Now Charles's only doubt is that when Count Monte Cristo pretended to be Father Busani, he had personally experienced the Chateau d'If prison.  Or is it a purely fictional story? ¡°I¡¯ve been there.  " Charles soon got the answer. An answer he expected. Perhaps Father Busani was too lazy to make up stories to cover himself up. He spoke very clearly and spoke very quickly, "That hell on earth, that gathering of poor people.  Places I wish I had never been to.  "    "I see.  "Charle nodded as expected. "This is indeed an obvious fact. If I hadn't stayed in Eveburg Prison, how could there be so many coincidences? All accidents in the world contain some kind of coincidence.  Of course. ¡°Thank you for everything you taught me today, Father.  Charles said goodbye to the priest solemnly, "I think you have given me a lot of help, and I should not trouble you any more."  " "Then before I say goodbye, I have one more thing to say to you, my child.  "The priest sighed softly, as if he had made up his mind. "Please tell me.  "Char made a gesture. "After the LORD your God has driven these nations out from before you, do not say in your heart, 'It is because of my righteousness that the LORD brought me in to possess this land.  ¡¯ In fact, the Lord drove them out from before you because of their wickedness.  " Father Busani, or Count of Monte Cristo, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and calmly said this passage as if reciting poetry. "It's Deuteronomy again. I have to say that the Count of Monte Cristo is indeed quite suitable to be  "I will remember your words.  "Charles thought for a while, then nodded to the priest, "Then, before I say goodbye, I also have something to give you -" Charles also gave Father Busani a passage from the Bible Numbers, as if reciting aloud.  Scripture says, ¡°There we saw the people of Anak, the great men, their descendants.  We are like grasshoppers to us, and so are we to them.  " "You have chosen an unlucky position for yourself.  "The priest didn't have any anger or excitement. He just evaluated Charles's words in a calm manner. "It all depends on man-made things, doesn't it?  "A gentle and brand-new smile appeared on Charles' face, and then he walked out of the dim room step by step. Under the leadership of the servant, he silently left this single-family house and returned to the house that had become  However, he did not rush to leave, but walked to the corner of the street. Sure enough, after a while, the door of the house opened again, and the car was dyed black.  The small-looking carriage sped out of the house. Charles stood quietly, watching the carriage disappear into the darkness. It was time for the Count of Monte Cristo to answer his questions.  Having stayed in Ifburg Prison, since it was not as a priest, then it could only be as a prisoner. Things are so clear, so simple and clear that no rigorous thinking is needed to figure it out.  An appalling conclusion. If Edmond Dant¨¨s lived to this day he would be about the same age as the Count of Monte Cristo, Lord Wilmore, Father Buschani, Edmond Dant¨¨s.  "snort.  "In the cool breeze of the night, Ciel uttered a vague syllable, then turned around and left, disappearing into the boundless darkness.
