When dusk falls again, Danma's Frost Day celebration finally begins.
Even though the previous incident in the hospital caused some panic, thanks to the efforts of the church and the municipal government, it did not cause too much trouble. The fact that the casualties are still unknown is the reason why people still have hope.
The more this happens, the more celebration is needed to dilute the fear. The long-prepared celebration opened with fireworks. After the mayor personally addressed Wen Hai, the night float parade officially began. The streets were packed with people, and it was a spectacular scene that was almost empty.
As a result, the front of Avery Church, which is not on the line today, looks much deserted.
Pastor Paradel walked into the prayer room to perform routine daily prayers. As his deep voice murmured, the surrounding air became more solemn, as if something was about to emerge.
At this moment——
"Stop it, Father."
A person appeared outside the stained glass window.
With a warm smile, Paradel turned his head to look at the window and immediately recognized the person.
"Coming here at this time, you must have something important to say, right? Miss Yin?"
His tone was familiar, as if he didn't pay any attention to the pistol that Yin Luo pointed at the window.
"Of course I have something to do, otherwise I would have gone to watch the celebration."
The sunlight shines through the colored windows and casts a shadow on the floor of the prayer room.
"I already know what has become of those who come here to pray, so I need an explanation...I think the considerate priest will not refuse."
The pastor chuckled: "Poor children, what did you do to them?"
"Do you know what they will become, or are you, Father, no longer human?" Yin Luo tilted his head, his hand holding the pistol flat without any movement, "If I open a hole in you , will you also turn into a puddle of mud immediately?"
"Miss Yin, you can rest assured that I am a pure human being." The pastor pointed to the gun in her hand, "Of course, such a weapon is still fatal to me. But I don't understand why you would do it for me." Are you angry about this?"
"If my subordinates were turned into inhuman beings, this reaction wouldn't be surprising."
"Miss Yin, you have to know that evil is present in people from birth. Since we want to rid people of their sins, words and rituals alone are not very effective." Paradel explained seriously. Said, "Our duty is to make people realize their 'evil' and repent of their past... But this does not have much effect at all. I have seen countless people leave here with relief. Will be back again soon."
Yin Luo stared into his eyes, but didn't notice any signs of lying.
"If repentance is just to do evil more easily without any psychological burden, then what's the point of repenting? So when the Father found me, I didn't refuse because I wanted to see a different way from what we did."
"You created a new person?"
"This is the power of the Father." Paradel put his hand on his chest, looking pious, "It completely rebirths a person from the outside to the inside. They have all the memories of that person in their minds, and at the same time Without any thoughts of doing evil, this is the real atonement! Neither relatives nor friends will see the flaws, this is a perfect new life! The peace that Danma has enjoyed for more than ten years is all the glory of the Father!"
"So you really believe this..."
"Is there any problem?" Paradel looked directly at Yin Luo, "Human beings exist in this society relying on memory, personality and appearance. As long as such conditions are met, the original person has no influence at all. , and it’s even more perfect than before!”
Yin Luo smiled.
"Let me tell you a story, Father."
Paradel was slightly startled by this reaction, but he immediately made a gesture of listening.
"A long time ago, there was a woodcutter in the forest. He had to cut a lot of firewood every day, but even so, he could only barely support his family. One day at noon, when he was sitting tiredly by the lake while resting and having lunch, he suddenly Carefully, the most valuable thing on your body - the logging ax - fell into the lake."
Paradel raised his hand: "I think I know this story, Miss Yin..."
"Don't be busy, we have enough time, listen to me." Yin Luo stopped the pastor's next words in a calm tone and continued his story, "Just as you said, a fairy appeared in the lake, holding a The woodcutter asked him which one he was missing, a gold ax and a silver axe. The woodcutter honestly answered the iron axe, and he got a gold ax and a silver axe.”
"He lived happily ever after, that's the story," Paradel said.
"Why was he happy? Because the next day, he 'accidentally' dropped the basket of food into the lake again and got an exquisite food box and a box full of gems. On the third day, he got He bought a strong leather armor and expensive clothes. The woodcutter lived in the forest. No one would notice the changes in his family situation, and no one would know the secret of the fairy in the lake. Finally, one day, the woodcutter , took his noisy and ugly wife into the deep forest..."
Yin Luo smiled at Paradel.
"That's the end of the story, Father. You don't have to think that I mean anything. This is just a short story inspired by my feelings. The reason why I talk to you so much is just to confirm something."
The pastor was a little puzzled.
"I came here today to vent my anger. You know, it's not a good feeling when someone you know dies. Once I'm in a bad mood, I have to find a suitable target to make him feel less good. That's it."
"You...Yu Chan! Yu Chan!"
The priest suddenly shouted, and at the same time, Yin Luo immediately shot!
The bullet instantly shattered the window, but unfortunately failed to hurt Paradel. A shadow that was too fast to look like a human appeared in the prayer room in a teleporting manner, easily deflecting all the bullets.
When the other party stopped, Yin Luo also recognized that it was Yu Chan, the taciturn girl adopted by the church, but her speed and reaction were not ordinary human beings at all!
"I'll be here when you call me. In that case..."
Yin Luo was not going to let him go just like that, so he threw a grenade into the prayer room. Unexpectedly, before the grenade hit the ground, Yu Chan raised his hand and drew out several streaks of silver light, tearing it apart in mid-air. !
"Miss Yin, since you're here, just stay." Paradel stared at Yin Luo, his smile turning completely indifferent, "Such a violent personality may not be a good thing for your family, so why not take advantage of it?" Let’s wash away your sins today.”
"Stop bluffing people there."
Although he saw Yu Chan's superhuman power, Yin Luo was not panicked at all.
"She can't do anything outside the church, right? You don't have many people to mobilize. As long as I don't enter the church, I will be safe. Otherwise, you wouldn't listen to my nonsense for so long."
"So what?" Paradel sneered, "I just need a little time, and you can't tell anyone what happened here! It will be the same then, just run away, someone will deal with you, don't worry, even if Even if it’s a corpse, Father can make an exact replica!”
"That's really scary, but who told you that I won't tell others?"
"You can try."
"Will he be implicated? Father, you still don't understand. Even if some people in the world know that they will be implicated, they will not regret hearing about it." Yin Luo put away his pistol and backed away slowly.
"Every human being has selfish desires, and they will be magnified when life and death are involved." Paradel slowly regained his smile.
"Maybe, but how do you know if what someone wants is just an iron axe?"
With these words, Yin Luo disappeared out of the window.
Xiao Shifan sat in a cafe opposite the municipal building and finally confirmed that the guy named Kongs would not appear again.
Although he didn't understand how Yuan Xi suspected this person, he would listen to her words. But now it seems that she still did not make a mistake, and there is definitely something wrong with Kongs.
Music and voices could be heard in the distance. The lights in the cafe were not very bright, and there were two worlds separated from the outside. Xiao Shifan suppressed his manic mood, took out his mobile phone and started making calls.
"Is it Cheng Wuling?"
"Xiao Shifan? What do you want from me?"
There was the sound of some people chatting in the background opposite, which seemed to be in the research institute.
"As long as you are in the research institute, I want to know if you can call on Danma's monitoring?"
"Can."
"I'm looking for a man named Kongs, who is the mayor's secretary. He disappeared after leaving the office today. He should be from our opposing camp."
"Give me some time, can you also tell me the reasons for your judgment?"
The sound of typing on the keyboard came from the other side. Xiao Shifan felt inexplicably relaxed about the other party's attitude. He was really afraid that someone would ask questions like Ye Fei again.
"It's not my judgment. I'll tell you directly..."
Next, Xiao Shifan recalled as much as possible what happened in the dean's office.
"...Liu Changan is not a human being, he may also be from the hostile camp. As for why Yuan Xi asked me to investigate Kong Si..."
"Ah, the authorities are confused." Cheng Wuling replied casually, "We don't know your identity as the eldest young master or eldest lady. Most people would call them girls and ladies when they meet. That dean directly addressed Yuan It's actually weird for Xi to be the 'eldest lady'."
"Well?"
Xiao Shifan was stunned.
"Even if most people know your identity and background, they will at most think you are a manager or senior executive from some company. Since even us people don't know your identity, of course everyone who knows is suspicious. But in comparison, from the beginning Among those who acted together, Kongs, as a stranger, is the most suspicious. She probably won’t be able to tell so many things.”
"Yes...that's it."
"Well, now several cameras have captured footage of Kongs. I will simulate the route map and send it to you. But remember, this is just a vague clue."
"Understood...Thank you very much." Xiao Shifan breathed out lightly.
