Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight
Chapter 357 Final Prayer
Looking at the burning fire in front of him, Doctor Bird's Beak stood in front for a long time, then dragged his feet to the table and picked up the suicide note written in blood.
After he put away the suicide note with trembling hands, he pulled a stool from the side and put down the body of his colleague.
However, at this moment, Doctor Bird's Beak was surprised to find that his colleague was holding a notebook covered with dust and scratches tightly in his hand.
According to his usual job duties, Doctor Bird's Mouth subconsciously turned to the last page and found that it was written in fresh blood:
"███, please autopsy my body. We need to understand the cause of this disease. Don't worry about my body being mutilated. I chose death and can only fall into hell."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Bird-beak lowered his head in silence, then took out another notebook with the names of the deceased from his arms and put them both into his cloak.
After completing all this, Doctor Bird's Beak slowly turned his head and looked at the flame that was about to go out. The book with the sacred scriptures had turned into a pile of ashes, which fluttered and scattered in the wind as a cold wind blew.
Looking at the completely disappeared classics, Doctor Bird-beak slowly lowered his head and let out a long and sad sigh. Then he picked up his cane, carried his colleagues on his back, and walked towards the tall building with a cross standing in the distance.
"██, if you commit suicide you will go to hell..." Doctor Birdbeak sighed as he felt the cold and stiff body on his back.
I don’t know if it’s due to long-term malnutrition, illness, or some other reason.
Doctor Birdbeak found that the corpse on his back was so heavy that he could hardly breathe. The doubt lingered in his ears like dust:
"███, does the Lord really exist?"
Listening to the echoes in his ears, Doctor Bird's Beak tightly grasped the cross on his chest and repeated over and over again:
"Yes, yes... The Lord definitely exists. These illnesses are just His tests for us. They will end one day."
Doctor Bird's Beak held the cross in his hand, muttering to himself, and moved forward bit by bit with weak and heavy steps.
When the other party stepped forward, the sky was still a deep dark blue, the night and the morning light were intertwined in the distant sky, and there was only a faint fish belly white.
As time slowly passed, the white light was covered with a soft golden border, and the color of the sky became richer, from light blue to pink purple, and finally to warm orange and yellow.
As Doctor Bird's Beak stepped into the territory that symbolized salvation, the first ray of morning light gently caressed the sleeping earth and covered the ancient church with a layer of brilliant golden veil.
The sunlight penetrates the mist, as if a gift from heaven, dyeing every speck of dust with a sacred light.
The church wakes up in the morning light, and the soft light outlines a magnificent outline pointing straight to the blue sky, as if it is a bridge between the world and heaven.
The Gothic cornices cast long shadows in the morning light, and every brick and stone is humming and singing the glory of the past and the wishes of countless souls.
"Amen..." Upon seeing this, Doctor Bird-beak suddenly clenched the cross on his chest, took pious steps, turned around and hugged his colleague and slowly walked towards the church bathed in holy light, and finally came to the magnificent gate.
The exquisite reliefs on the gate appear even more delicate in the morning light, and every line sparkles with a warm and solemn light, as if it were the hope that God himself cast on the world.
Doctor Bird's Beak stood in front of the holy door, gazing at the biblical stories carved on it.
Looking at the solemn and sacred scene before him, he took a deep breath, then raised his leather gloves with countless scratches on them and gently knocked on the door knocker.
The sound of metal collision echoed in the silence, as if penetrating the dullness of time, but there was no response.
Hearing this, Doctor Bird-beak was immediately confused. According to the usual rules, the choir children's heavenly singing should have been heard by now, but at this moment, the interior was eerily quiet.
At this moment, he secretly swallowed his saliva, then knocked on the door again, with a hint of urgency in his voice:
"Excuse me, is anyone there? I am ███, I need a priest to redeem my compatriots, please open the door."
When Doctor Bird-beak finished his story, he fell into a long wait again. For some reason, this moment seemed so long. Only the whisper of the wind passing through the wilderness lingered in his ears.
Finally, Doctor Bird's Beak lost his patience, or perhaps was driven by an inexplicable uneasiness, and pushed open the door in front with great effort.
Doctor Bird's Beak put down his cane and pushed against the door in front of him. He used more strength than usual, and the door cracked a little, then slowly opened with a slight creaking sound.
As the gap in the door widened, a ray of light penetrated in and illuminated a corner.
The moment Doctor Bird's Beak stepped in, the scene before him completely crushed the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
On the distant altar, the smile of the holy statue is still gentle, but it cannot conceal the mess and ruin around it.
A Bible was thrown on the ground casually. The pages were gently turned by the wind, and stopped at the chapter "Do not be afraid, just believe". There were unburned candles scattered around, and the wax solidified into traces of time, silently witnessing the departure of believers.
The benches were lying in a disorderly manner on the ground, some of them were overturned, and some of them were standing alone, with a few pieces of clothing scattered on them, which should have been left behind by a priest in his hasty escape.
An abandoned cross lay on its side among a pile of scattered prayer books and hymn books, with a faint trace of footprints remaining on its broken trunk, as if telling of the long-broken loyalty and faith.
The murals that originally depicted the crucifixion of Jesus and the deeds of the saints have been torn to pieces, and what completely destroyed them was an empty and broken chalice.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Doctor Bird's Beak suddenly felt something shattered silently in his heart. His body became light, as if only an empty shell was left.
An inexplicable panic surged into his head like a tide, making him unable to tell whether this was reality or a dream.
No matter how Dr. Bird's Beak blinked his eyes to wake up, the scene in front of him did not change at all. Instead, it became clearer in the brighter sunlight.
For a moment, Doctor Bird's Beak seemed to have his spine pulled out. His body, which was originally barely standing, instantly became hunched under the weight of the corpse. He crawled forward like a monster, and then fell to his knees in front of the altar with a plop.
Looking at the image of Jesus hanging on the cross in front of him, Doctor Birdbeak clasped his withered hands together with great effort, and then trembled as he prayed:
"Supreme Lord, your gaze penetrates endless time, like an eternal sun, illuminating the path of truth, and now also witnesses the fragility of loyalty and faith in the face of fear.
“Lord, your mercy is like the vast ocean. In this desperate moment, please lower your gaze and have mercy on us, your tiny and pitiful people.
Please forgive those fugitives who lost their way in the darkness and abandoned your temple.
Their hearts may be temporarily blinded by fear, but I hope your light can penetrate the haze, guide them back to the right path, and let repentance be the comfort of their souls.
We pray that you will withdraw your punishment. May the souls of my colleagues find final peace in your arms.
Because we know that above all the suffering in this world, there is your will and plan that is beyond our understanding and sight.
So, here, with a trembling heart, I offer you this final prayer.
"Hallowed be your name forever. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen."
