"Father, I am guilty."
"I actually suspected that my brother was having an affair with my wife."
"My brother respects me as an older brother so much, and every time I get into trouble, he will go out of his way to stand up for me."
"Damn it, how could I be so cruel and suspicious of my brother!"
"As for my wife, every time I go on a business trip, she will ask me to be careful along the way. She will personally pack my luggage for me. She will never pretend to be a servant."
"Oh, such a caring and lovely wife, I would doubt my dearest Anna! I am really unforgivable!"
"My heart is indeed black. I may have really become a black-hearted businessman tainted by the smell of copper!"
"Lord! Please redeem my dirty soul polluted by money!"
Nok, who was sitting in the next cubicle, kept twitching at the corners of his mouth as he listened to the chatter in his ears.
He is not an orthodox clergyman. To be precise, if he had not forced himself to do so, he would not have become a priest. He would not have even become a priest.
Therefore, he could not remain calm after listening to the penitent's confession like other priests.
At this time, his heart had been turned upside down by Mr. Holmes's words!
If being rich was a sin, he would be willing to commit the sin without mercy!
If a rich man's soul will be stained, he is willing to go to hell and worship Satan!
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't mean to do it, I fell!"
Knock quickly confessed silently with Mr. Holmes in his heart, but he was actually shaken by a few words.
But is Mr. Holmes's house that messy?
My brother actually got together with his wife?
Although Mr. Holmes confessed every sentence, how could he suspect his brother and wife without evidence.
It's not like he's here to repent, but rather like he's looking for excuses to convince himself that he's wrong!
Although Nok had heard that the aristocratic circle was very chaotic, he never expected that it could be so chaotic!
He thought that it was at best like what was written in knight novels, where a noble lady secretly fell in love with a handsome knight in her family, and then eloped together, or the knight returned home after making great achievements and embraced the beautiful woman.
This was already the most absurd plot he could accept. Unexpectedly, his eyes were opened today!
What a meeting with Satan!
In this way, Mr. Holmes's confession lasted for more than an hour, and it finally ended when Nok fell asleep.
Nok quickly took the other party back to the side hall and poured the cold tea.
There is no way, since there are almost no believers coming to the door, the monastery has stopped preparing tea for a long time.
The tea used now was bought when Father John was still alive.
In other words, when Nok was at home, if Nok was not at home, Lillian would not even prepare boiling water for the guests.
After all, their family is really poor!
Firewood also costs money!
There are monsters in the wild, and Nok will not let the children risk going out of the city to collect firewood just to save some money for firewood.
After sitting down again, Mr. Holmes, who was thirsty and thirsty, didn't care that the tea was cold, and drank it "slurpingly" when he picked it up.
"Ha~"
With a heavy breath, Mr. Holmes, who seemed to have been rescued, straightened up his posture, sat upright and looked at Knock.
"Excuse me, Father Lane. I'm really thirsty."
Nok smiled nonchalantly and refilled the other person's cup of herbal tea with a calm expression, turning a blind eye to the other person's gaffe just now.
Although Nok is not a noble, he has met countless nobles.
Knowing that these people are all in love, if you reply hypocritically, "It doesn't matter," the other person will become nervous.
But in turn, if you pretend to turn a blind eye, the other person will be relieved and grateful to you.
"Mr. Holmes, now you can tell me your wishes. What do you want me to advise you?"
Nok has already thought of how to fool the other party.
Although he knew nothing about relationships, he had seen how John deceived...no, how he deceived people, so he was ready to deceive the other person.
Anyway, in this case, either to satisfy the other party's self-deception, or to persuade the other party to reveal the "love" between his brother and his wife.
However, as soon as Mr. Holmes opened his mouth, Nock knew that he was wrong!
"Father Ryan, that's it. I wonder if you have heard the rumors about the Baker Street murderer?"
Looking at Mr. Holmes who suddenly became mysterious, Nok felt embarrassed. After all, he thought he was worried about the "love" of his brother and his wife.
Who would have thought that the other party actually came here for the murderous maniac.
Nok took a deep breath and calmed down: "Mr. Holmes, did you mean [The Ripper]?"
Ford Holmes nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Nok didn't know why the other party mentioned this murderous maniac, but he still started talking.
"I have heard about [The Ripper]. Legend has it that this murderer only haunts at night, and his scope of activity is only around Baker Street. He targets women and uses cruel and bloody methods. Nowadays, there are many women who come home late. was killed.
The British patrol police have listed him as their primary target, and the victims' families have also posted rewards in various professions. It is only a matter of time before this murderous maniac is caught.
I wonder if there is any problem with Mr. Holmes mentioning this murderous maniac? "
Nock looked at Ford Holmes in confusion, wondering why the other man didn't care about his marriage, but instead cared about the murderer.
Although this [Ripper] is cruel in his methods, if he is targeted by his profession, he will definitely be caught soon.
After all, the guys in the professional office are all extraordinary beings.
No matter how cruel [The Ripper] is, judging from his methods, he is just an ordinary pervert.
Ford Holmes hesitated for a moment, as if he had made some important decision, and suddenly looked up at Nok.
"Father Ryan, are you willing to believe me? After all, what I am going to say next is a bit unbelievable."
Seeing the other party's serious look, Nok suddenly became interested.
He sat upright, looked at the other party solemnly, and responded in a cordial but majestic tone: "Mr. Holmes, you are a devout believer of the Lord, and I, Nock Lane, am the most faithful servant of the Lord. I am Serve the Lord and share the worries of His believers on behalf of the Lord. So, Mr. Holmes, please rest assured that Nock Lane is worthy of your trust."
Being deceived by Nok so solemnly, Ford Holmes's heart was filled with a sense of importance.
After all, he had told his wife and brother about his suspicions before, and all he got in return were doubts.
"That's right, Father Lane."
Ford Holmes tells the story.
It turned out that by chance, Ford Holmes heard the screams of a woman while passing by Baker Street on his way home late.
This reminded him of the rumors about the murderous maniac [The Ripper], so he ordered the servant who acted as the driver to get out of the car with him and look for the woman in the direction of the scream.
As a result, he actually encountered the "Ripper" committing murder.
However, the [Ripper] he saw was not the perverted murderer the police speculated at all, but a monster with sharp claws!
At that time, the monster also discovered the two masters and servants of Holmes who were coming, and abandoned the body in his hands and killed them on the spot.
Master and servant Holmes never imagined that the murderer turned out to be a monster, so they turned around and ran away in panic.
As a pampered businessman and his younger brother is a nobleman, Ford Holmes naturally cannot run as fast as his own servants.
Even though he shouted loudly, the servants did not turn around to save him.
But just when he was knocked down by the monster and thought he was about to return to the embrace of the Lord, the monster only sniffed him a few times, then abandoned him and chased after the servant, brutally killing the escaped servant. .
At this time, Ford Holmes was so frightened that he fainted.
When he woke up, he was already in the hospital.
The person waiting for him in the ward was not his considerate wife, but a British patrolman.
After some questioning, the patrolman did not believe his words at all.
Instead, he was questioned as the murderer.
After all, apart from the two corpses, he was the only survivor at the scene.
Fortunately, his brother arrived in time and revealed his identity as a noble, so the patrolman changed his attitude.
Later, after his brother's explanation, he learned that the patrolman actually knew that Ford was not the murderer, but that the Ripper had committed too many cases, and the police station had no clue to solve the case, so they wanted to arrest him, a survivor, to take the blame. .
Unexpectedly, Ford's brother turned out to be a noble, and he was also a powerful noble in the kingdom, so he reluctantly let Ford go.
Of course, Ford's brother also gave the guys at the police station a hard lesson afterwards, causing a major change in the police department.
But the police department still refused to accept Ford's confession.
It is said that they also asked professionals to examine the corpse, and there was no dark aura of monsters on it at all.
This cannot be caused by monsters.
Because all monsters will have a dark aura on them, unless the opponent is a high-level dark creature that can restrain the aura on their body.
If that were the case, Ford Holmes, who had discovered the identity of the other party, would not have survived.
Advanced dark creatures were something that the Knights of the past had to lose their troops to deal with.
Even though the Knights are now hidden behind the scenes due to the emergence of the Musketeers, no one doubts their ability to fight in a single fight!
Not only did the police department not believe what Ford said, but his brother also didn't believe it.
Because his younger brother had to deal with monsters a lot in his job, and he was the most sensitive to the scent of monsters.
But his brother said that he couldn't feel the residual aura of the monster from Ford.
This is not normal.
Because according to Ford, the monsters knocked him down and left scratches on his clothes. It was impossible for the breath to disappear in less than a day.
Ford's wife even suspected that Ford was hallucinating because of the shock of the murder. In addition, she did not believe in a new professional institution like the hospital. Ford's wife Anna even invited a deist missionary to pray for Ford to exorcise evil spirits. .
After two days of tossing, Ford finally escaped from home and secretly came to the monastery.
After all, in his heart, neither the vocational institute nor the Natural God's Religion can compare with the oldest holy church.
Because the Holy Lord of the Holy Church is also called the God of Dawn, and he is the one who restrains all dark creatures.
Therefore, even if the Natural God Church could not find anything, he firmly believed that the Holy Church would be able to find out some clues.
After hearing Ford Holmes's description, Noak's eyes suddenly dazzled!
