boy and bone
Chapter 28 The Original Code
Ferret and Gray held the trophies they got from the game booth and searched for the full address number. They found a hotel in a small corner alley shrouded in shadows. above the door frame.
Ferret and Gray followed the room number on the address to a guest room on the top floor, pushed the door open and entered.
Man early waiting there.
"Why are you two so slow?" Man pulled the two of them in and closed the doors and windows.
"What's the matter with the pink ugly monster in your hand?" Man just glanced at it, and suddenly remembered that he still had something to do, so he hurriedly stopped his complaints: "Forget it... Let me make a long story short, you are responsible for these few days." Keep an eye on here, carefully observe and pay attention to the people coming and going from the church opposite. Especially pay attention to whether there are blue-haired people going in, if there is, you'd better find out her intentions."
Gray looked around the room, and compared to the luxurious room he lived in before, this place looks much poorer.He sat down on the bed, and the hard touch was no better than a coffin board.
"Is this the additional task you mentioned? Peeping Tom?" The ferret listened to Man's orders and walked up to the window. Sure enough, as soon as he lowered his gaze, he could see through the transparent hexagonal glass that there was a house diagonally opposite the window. A deserted little church.
The streets in this small corner alley are too narrow, and even the dripping water under the wet shorts and underwear of a family on the opposite side that is drying on the balcony can be seen clearly with the naked eye.
"Last night, Yuexi Guilanzhi came out of the palace in disguise. I thought she knew that I was hiding the person who rescued Rhea, so she acted. I followed her all the way here, and met Gray on the way. , but it seems to be a coincidence, she didn't notice him, but came here directly, stayed in the church opposite for a while, and then returned to the palace the same way."
"I want to know if she is hiding any secrets that no one knows." Man stepped forward to stand in front of the window with the ferret, and he took out an exquisite small box from his arms and handed it to the ferret, saying: "Here There are also two Buzzing MSI screws that I glued to the bottom of the letter box in the church. It does a good job of bugging. That way you can not only see what they're doing, but also hear what they're talking about .”
"Put it on, you have to wear it all these days, and you can't take it off when you sleep." Man said.
The round and small star snails are only the size of a fingertip.The ferret took out a star snail from the box. He had only seen this kind of wiretapping tool in books. This kind of high-end product was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it was not used in some sinister jobs.
"I don't want to do that," said the ferret.
"You have received my deposit, you have to do things for me, listen to me, black knight." Man said.
"Then I will give you back the one miran now."
"It's late." Man Guo said decisively.
The ferret reluctantly took a star screw and stuffed it into his ear.
Only then was Man satisfied and said, "What about the other one?"
The eyes of the two looked at the boy who had already climbed onto the bed. It was rare for him to lie on the bed quietly and do not know what he was looking at.
"Hey, kid!"
Gray lying on the bed was unmoved.
Man frowned, and then remembered that the language communication between him and Grai was still not smooth, and they still needed ferrets to communicate with each other to understand each other.Man turned to the people around him and said, "Teach him how to speak when you have time, okay?"
"The clan meeting is about to start in an hour. I'll take a step first. Let the little devil put on the star conch. I'll come back tonight and report the situation to me." As he said, he was full of Whispering Stars. Luo's small box was placed on the table, he put the hood over his head, and hurriedly left the room.
There were only two people left in the room. The ferret walked towards the bed and asked in Grai's familiar language, "Grai, what are you doing?"
The boy on the bed was flipping through a greasy book, when he saw someone calling him, he moved his body to the inside of the bed, making room for the visitor.
As the ferret approached the bed, he glanced at the pages of the book, and in a moment of shock he pulled the book away from Gray's eyes.
"Where did you get it?" the ferret couldn't bear to look directly.
"Um...under the bed." Gray replied.He didn't dare to say that he picked it up from the old bookstall before.
"Now is not the time for you to read this kind of book." Ferret said seriously.
Gray said frankly: "It's just a few paintings, and isn't this normal? Both men and women have such needs."
The ferret ruthlessly threw the book into the trash can: "It's too early for you to 'need' now."
Gray looked at the dignified and provocative expression of the person in front of the bed. The pictures on it were just some common poses, but the ferret's shy expression was very intriguing. Gray guessed that the ferret might have never... …
Thinking of this, Gray closed his mouth wisely: "Okay."
Such a big man still has a serious and pure appearance in the face of secular affairs. Gray feels that if he now flaunts his achievements in this area at any time, there is a great possibility that this noble and solemn man will be overwhelmed. The young man threw him into the wastebasket as mercilessly as he threw the pornographic book just now.
After thinking about it seriously, Gray decided to wait until when the ferret was in need. He would talk about his experience and tell him that the book was not pornographic at all. After all, not only did he see all the poses in the book But also mastered all of them proficiently.
The next day, the midday sun poured into the window, and Gray, who had been lying in front of the window all morning, felt that his hair was going to be burnt yellow.
The church on the opposite side of the window is fine. Usually, there are very few people passing by in this small corner alley, and there are no people in the church.
Gray touched it hanging behind his ear, a transparent and cold soft object stuck behind his ear like a tiny earthworm, it was extended from the screw hole of the bugle star screw plugged in his ear, used to It is convenient to hang the star snail on the ear stably, so that the star snail will not fall into the things protruding from the cochlea.
Gray didn't know what kind of brains worked out such a tiny thing, but after he learned about the function of this gadget from the ferret, he felt that if this thing could be made earlier, they would The old assassins of the past may not have to take the risk of going under the bed to listen to the corner of the wall, dirty and tired are not flattering.
The two people in the room have not left the window since early in the morning. They are staring at the deserted church outside, their eyelids are sore.
Just as the boy in front of the window was drowsy from the sun, someone downstairs pushed a small wooden wheeled cart through the alley. There was a row of grills on the cart, and wisps of gray carbon smoke radiated from it. The smell of meat floated up the windows along with the green smoke.
Gray sniffed, then turned to the people beside him and said, "I'm hungry."
Just as the ferret was about to say something, it happened that there was a clear and deafening knock on the door from the star snail in his ear.
Gray was also startled to notice, he leaned against the window and looked out.
At this moment, outside the church door, a group of people in white robes stepped straight into the church door.
After that, there was no other sound from the star snail. Just when the two eavesdroppers wondered if the star snail was broken, the group of people in white robes withdrew after a short while. The middle-aged man please send it out.
"Bishop Shimento, please reconsider and accept the protection of the Holy Deer Palace." A man in white robe persuaded: "Your situation is not safe. According to the report from the knight detachment we sent to Wood Pigeon City a few days ago, Among the bishops who currently hold the original scriptures, only you are still alive."
"We suspect that this was a crime committed against the original code."
"Or to ensure your safety, please transfer the original code to the Holy Deer Palace for safekeeping."
In front of the church, the man dressed as a pastor smiled slightly and said, "The original scriptures are my teachings of truth. The meaning of the original scriptures does not lie in a page of text, it is more of a symbol. I will not transfer it to others."
The white robe said humanely: "You misunderstood, we just want to ensure your safety."
"We heard that Bishop Lavlov of Wood Pigeon City is your close friend."
"Yes." The pastor man replied.
"Unfortunately, the original scripture held by Bishop Lavlov was not found in his body or in the church, and there is no record of Bishop Lavlov sending items out of the letter house in Wood Pigeon City. We guess it should be the murder of Lavlov Bishop Love's murderer stole it, and contacting the disappearance of other bishops who possessed the original scriptures, we have reason to think that you are in danger."
"Please consider carefully."
"Lavlov's original scripture is different from the scriptures we hold." The bishop said: "It has its own consciousness, and it will not be used by people other than those it agrees with. It may have chosen a new one to convey its holy meaning." listener."
"As for myself, death should have come long ago." The bishop said indifferently.
At night, Manpunshi, like a strange ghost, knocked on the door of the small hotel.
Man closed the door, and there was a strong smell of barbecue in the room.
"What's the taste?" The clan's children, who have always had a delicate taste, don't like such a strong taste.
The ferret said: "We bought some garlic sausages later."
"Can't you eat some decent food?" He held his breath in disgust.
Under the eaves of people, ferrets are not easy to refute.
Gray, who was playing with his own bones on the bed, couldn't understand their communication. He held a bamboo stick with a sausage in one hand, and played a game of building a card tower on the bed sheet with his flexible hand bones in the other.From time to time, Grai took a big bite of the garlic sausage in his hand, and the boy's mouth became bright red due to the oil from the sausage.
This vulgar and casual appearance made this well-mannered aristocratic child very tired: "Hey, you are not allowed to eat on the bed."
Gray couldn't understand, but he knew how to read words and expressions, and when he saw the disgusted expression staring at the oily sausage in his hand, he roughly guessed what Man meant.
But Gray not only didn't care about it, he even chewed the sausage a few more times viciously, and when he waited for Man to approach him, he burped his mouth against his face with a long smell.
He was so angry that he rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and nose, wishing he could just jump away from Grai eight feet away.
Gray laughed secretly. If he had any quirks, it would be that he loved to tease people who were obsessed with cleanliness.
"You tell him not to eat these pungent foods before going to bed from now on! Get him to brush his teeth quickly!" Man knew that nothing he said would work, and only ferrets could communicate with this child, so he wiped out any signs of temper Transfer to ferrets.
Seeing this, the ferret had no choice but to say a few words to Gray.
Gray wasn't annoyed, he just couldn't get used to the pretense of clean freaks, so he just played tricks on purpose.Gray also knew how to restrain himself. He listened to the ferret's plea, rolled out of bed like a little tiger, followed him bone-stumblingly, and went into the bathroom with him.
With a face full of intolerance, he pushed open the window, facing the cool night wind, he was able to breathe more or less.
Man leaning against the window: "I have checked, the name of the owner of this church is Heka Shmentor. I have investigated his details, he is a member of the East Church, and he was on the East Church purge list a few years ago Name."
"Did you find out today?"
The ferret said: "Several holy deer knights came here today, and a middle-aged man in the church received them. He should be the bishop you mentioned. Those holy deer knights claimed that Bishop Shi Mengtor Dangerous, but the bishop refused their protection."
Man Si said: "Recently, there have indeed been people like pagan fanatics attacking these Eastern Christians who were exiled in the West Continent."
"I heard that several bishop-level Eastern Christians are missing, and they may have been killed. But why did the Holy Deer Palace intervene to protect them?"
Ferret recalled: "They mentioned doctrine, original text, these two words. They thought that Bishop Shimontor was the survivor who held the original text."
Man didn't know much about the situation in this area, and he still couldn't figure it out, so he said, "I'll go back and find out more about it."
"You should also pay close attention here." Man murmured, "I don't know how Yuexi got involved with the Eastern Christians... Could it be that she wants to follow our mother's example and change her faith? Join the Eastern Christians?"
Getting up early in the morning is still a day of voyeurism, but Gray doesn't mind this kind of secret life, he just picked up his old job.
But today was a bit of a surprise. The old-looking middle-aged man quietly left the church early in the morning wearing the monk's uniform of the Eastern Church.
Gray and the ferret spotted the lonely figure in time.
The ferret hesitated to follow and have a look.
Gray hugged the little pink elephant and pushed his arm. For some reason, he likes to hug this furry thing very much recently: "Go, I'll watch here."
The ferret said worriedly: "Then don't run around in the house."
"Let go of your silly worries." Gray urged.
All morning, the ferret followed and did not come back.
The facade of the church is still closed, the front street is still deserted, and Grai is bored by the window. At some point, the fingertips of the bones slip out of Grai’s short sleeves, and it is always jumping happily on Grai’s body like a bird. The restless little mouse.
Gray looked at the church diagonally across the field of vision, thoughtfully.
The churches, especially the shabby ones, are mostly similar in appearance, and they all have a kind of magic that calms Gray's mind.
Gray thought for a while, anyway, the bishop had already left, and the church was a public place, so it wouldn't be considered his whereabouts if he went for a casual stroll.
Gray made up his mind immediately, he called the bone back into the jacket, he put on his little kimono, and just in case, he took the little pink elephant with him, and stuffed it into the puppet's cotton inner core. He picked up a sharp toy dagger, after all, he always felt unsafe without a self-defense weapon.
When he was ready, Gray turned around and stepped out of the door, walking towards the church across the street.
In the church, obscure dust stained the glimmer of silence.
The hem of the cloak dragged across the floor tiles, and Gray walked gently through the narrow aisle between the rows of prayer benches with the baby elephant in his arms.
A distant, holy voice echoed in the church:
"... shall not be heard. I call upon your coming, the lamb in the dusty journey, and walk where you have set foot, fear no calamity, the roads we walk are like this, we will be honored by your glory all day long, and we will be faithful to you forever Your joy will not be put to shame..."
There were other priests here, but what the praying priest was facing was not an ordinary sculpture of a god.
But a bone.
There is only an old wooden chair standing on the central steps of the church, on which a purple-red robe with gilt sleeves is covered with white bones covered with spider webs.
Grai slowly approached, looking at the thin figure in front of him kneeling devoutly in front of the bone and reciting in a low voice, Grai actually gave birth to an unimaginable familiarity...
The priest closed his eyes and stopped chanting when he sensed someone behind him.
Su Wen turned around and saw a short figure standing beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Little?"
The face under the robe was hidden from view due to the mist. Su Wen knew that this kind of people in pitch-black robes belonged to a kind of gray profession - black cavalry.
But in the face of his beliefs, even if it is an arsonist, he can treat everything equally.
"You?" Gray saw the familiar face, and suddenly recalled that this was the missionary who was so easy to get rid of that night.
"Your voice sounds familiar?" Su Wen thought for a moment, then switched to the old saying in surprise: "You are from before!"
"You have a good memory." Gray pulled off his hood to reveal his face.
Su Wen looked at the boy's black riding outfit and thought to himself, he couldn't help but said in his mother tongue: "So you are... no wonder you know some physical skills..."
"Huh?" Gray was still a little confused about the New Westland language.
Su Wen said enthusiastically and positively: "Why did you come here? Did you change your mind? Are you here to be baptized?"
Gray resisted: "No, I didn't know you were here. I just like the church better. The appearance here makes me feel at ease, so I walked in unconsciously."
Su Wen was generally relieved: "It seems that you do have a feeling for our god."
"This has nothing to do with belief, it's just my marriage..." Gray immediately sealed his mouth, he couldn't go any further.
Su Wen knows that it takes enough time for a person to break out of ignorance. As a missionary, he is not in a hurry. He knows that he must get closer to people before he can truly enter their hearts.Su Wen noticed the pink puppet in the boy's hand: "Pink elephant? You like it."
Gray shook his head immediately, and pretended not to care about it, "I just put it on on the floor."
Su Wen bowed deeply to the bones, then stood up and asked, "Then can it speak?"
Gray was puzzled, how could a cloth elephant talk?
Seeing this, Su Wen knew that the boy hadn't explored this far, so he stretched out his hand to the little elephant.
Gray, however, took the little elephant away vigilantly.
"Don't worry." Su Wen withdrew his hand in embarrassment: "There is a sound-absorbing star snail in your little elephant. You untie the ribbon on the back of it, and there is a hard and round thing besides cotton, which should be in the elephant. Where the head is, you take it out?"
Dubiously, Gray untied the ribbon of the elephant puppet, revealing a piece of white cotton. He reached in with his hand, bypassed his self-defense dagger, and really touched another piece.
He took out the small star snail, which was only the size of a coin.
"Now you can press it and say a few words to the screw mouth, and the star screw will record your voice."
Gray said ignorantly, "What, what are you talking about?"
"Say hello, give your name, or say something to wish happiness." Su Wen said.
Under the eager eyes of the young priest, Gray hesitantly raised the screw and brought it close to his mouth: "Uh... hello, I'm Gray, I wish you happiness."
"..."
"Is this okay?" Gray felt like an idiot for obeying what he was told just now.
Su Wen said: "Of course, you can put it back into the elephant, and pinch its trunk to see the effect."
Gray put the star snail back in place again, but he hesitated to pinch its nose.
At this moment, Su Wen graciously helped to pinch the elephant. Immediately, the childish voice resounded in the church.
'Hello, I'm Grace, I wish you happiness. '
Su Wen smiled and said, "It's very interesting, you can press it yourself."
"No!" Gray suddenly felt ashamed. He swore that he would never touch the trunk of this elephant in his life. It was too fucking embarrassing.
"How do you know this? Do you still play with this kind of doll at your age?" Gray said.
"I used to work in a doll shop and sew this kind of dolls." Su Wen said.
Gray was going to quickly forget about this thing that only learned his speech, but he didn't intend to leave the church just like this. Since he happened to know a priest here, he could try to get him out of his mouth. Come up with something.
Gray thought that since he used those two people for his current food and drink, it seemed unreasonable to just do nothing for others and not do anything for others.
Gray planned to do something in return. He asked, "Are you the only one in this church?"
"There is also a noble bishop." Su Wen replied.
Gray dragged the elephant's leg and looked around casually. There were a row of bookshelves on the walls on both sides of the church.
Su Wen always paid attention to the boy's gaze: "What books does Mr. Gray like to read? I can introduce it to you."
"No, I'm not interested in books." Gray turned around: "But from your tone, you seem to be very knowledgeable? Have you read all the books here?"
"It's far from being erudite, but I have a little understanding. I've only read the books here a few times." Su Wen's humility in words can't hide the desire for answers in his eyes that want him to ask.
Unable to bear it, Gray asked casually, intentionally or unintentionally, "Then do you know the Demon King?"
Su Wen paused for a moment, and said: "There is a saying in the scriptures: the extreme evil subverts the concept and creates an indescribable sense of confusion. But you must clearly understand that evil is evil after all, and there is only abyss to indulge in."
It was clearly an old saying, but Gray couldn't understand a word: "...I'm just asking you if you know, what's the mess... If you don't know, get out of the way, I'm going back."
Su Wen Monroe said: "The devil is not born to be the devil."
"Before he became the devil, he originally had an ordinary name. He was also an ordinary person, an ordinary person with a little ambition. At that time, people did not find the hidden dangers. At that time, people always liked to refer to 'ambition' "Aspirational" to describe it. He was never satisfied, which was recognized as a strength at the time. He had a positive interest in everything and he would act on it. So in some ways, this made him the best of his era By."
Gray stopped in his tracks, surprised at what he saw with his own eyes.
Su Wendao: "This sentence is the content recorded in the prologue of the Rao Era in "Soli's Experience". Soli, the lord of time, saw all the well-known bad deeds of the Demon King during his distant travels. Most of them are in the "Devil King 'After becoming the devil, Soli said: 'No one knows how the devil became the devil, but I think it should be a tragedy.'”
"Sorley..." Gray heard a familiar name, one of the few people he had a good impression of at that time.
Moreover, his 'knowledge' was indeed from a fair standpoint, which involuntarily brought back some long memories for Gray.
"Our Lord of Time, Soli." As he said, Su Wen prayed devoutly to the bone.
Gray was startled, he came back to his senses, and stared at the pile of bones seriously: "You don't think it's Solly, do you?"
Su Wen shook his head. Just as Grai was about to let go, Su Wen said slowly, "This is just the intention of the gods entering the mundane world. The soul of Suo Li has penetrated into every corner of time."
"You can feel his presence every breath you take."
"He has merged into time."
Su Wen said piously.
Gray stared at the aged bones piled up in the back of the chair on the steps, and said in a daze, "He's really Solly...how do you know this?".
"There is nothing more sensible than books." Su Wen said.
Gray lowered his gaze, and he looked around the books again, earnestly: "I don't understand your writing, can you teach me?" Gray thought, he should face up to the passage he had already read. The time is irretrievable.
"Of course." Su Wen said happily.
In the evening, return to the hotel.
"I followed the bishop for a long way, and I arrived at the outskirts of the royal capital, where there is a wild forest. There is a barrier outside, and I guess I can't pass without the corresponding key rune. , so I didn’t follow up.” The ferret who had just rushed back to the hotel explained while drinking water to moisten his throat.It is not so easy to hide whereabouts in sunny days, and it takes a lot of effort for ferrets to sneak and follow a large living person.
Sitting on a chair, still wearing a sneaky attire in the night, he asked, "What about the church?"
The ferret put down the teacup: "Grey has been staying here." After that, he transformed Man's question into short sentences that Gray could understand.
Gray, who was meditating on the bed for some reason, replied briefly: "Nothing happened. After the man left, there was only one priest in the church, and no one else came. The priest has been praying, facing Solly's bones... that's all .”
Ferret relayed it back.
Full of doubts: "How can he be so clear about the internal structure of the church? Has he entered the church?"
The ferret also had this question, so they happened to ask together
"I don't, I'm asleep." Without explaining any more words, Grai lay down on the bed perfunctorily, covering his head with the quilt.
Both Man and Ferret had doubts in their hearts.
In the next few days, the bishop went to the suburbs more frequently.
Gray took advantage of this period to go to the church to learn the language from Su Wen, and learn about the past that he had missed.
After these few days, Gray has mastered a lot of current pronunciation, and can roughly compose some simple sentences, and after these days of training, he can understand the language of the people around him more or less,
Also, it's about Curris.
He knew pretty much all there was to know about that period, the period after his death and before Cullis's.
Not only the title of 'Devil King', Curris seems to have many other strange nicknames: Lord of Sin, Uncrowned Lord of Demons, Butcher on the Snowman River, Howling Marshal, Cursed Man Who Can't Look at Each Other, etc. wait wait wait……
What is this stuff?
The more Grai understands these things, the more he feels that the chill of despair is taking root in the bottom of his heart step by step.
Those murderers who are tentatively counted as heroes smashed Kuris into thousands of pieces, and the pieces of the corpse were not simply dismantled, but pressured by countless runes. Like a series of strong chains, Kuris's torn body was imprisoned forever in the hell that never saw the light of day.
The most frightening thing is that his Curris has truly and completely 'dead'.
According to records, his Kuris' soul had been reduced to the food of the curse in the last fusion experiment with the cursed core, and his soul was swallowed up by the curse, leaving no residue.
His soul is no longer in this world...
Suddenly, an empty coldness rushed towards Grai like overwhelming mountains and seas.
"Mr. Gray, if you still have something you don't understand, you can ask me at any time, and I will definitely know everything."
Su Wen's eager eyes fell.
Reality is like irony.
Gray mentioned his last hope: "You are smarter than me, tell me, is there any ability in the world that can bring a person who has been burned to ashes back from the dead?"
Su Wen thought about it seriously: "There are a lot of works and studies on the technique of resurrection, but without exception, they all verify the fact that there are many difficulties in resurrection. The main reason is that the spirit son The time retained on the corpse is too short, any powerful restoration technique needs a certain amount of time to be designed and activated, and the body restored beyond the preservation time of the spirit is just a pile of walking dead, which is not a real resurrection at all .So far, there is no technique that can delay the death of people's consciousness and the departure of spirits. Even if the devil is alive, I don't think he has this ability."
"So in my humble opinion, the hypothesis of resurrection is impossible to be realized."
Su Wen continued: "If there is such a person who comes back from the dead, it can only be a miracle, the will of the great God. He must have another mission to let this person's soul stay in this world."
Gray lowered his eyes, and then wrote lightly: "You are right, it is God." It is God's malice.
Su Wen suddenly said happily: "You believe in our faith?"
"Don't get me wrong." Gray said.
The bell outside rang on time, and a heavy sound like mourning washed away the solemnity of the entire church.
"It's time for prayer, Mr. Gray, would you like to pray with me?" Su Wen invited, "Come on, put your hands together and sit on the mat."
Su Wen has slowly started to chant.
Gray was absent-minded. He had no intention of praying. After the priest closed his eyes sincerely, his eyes began to wander around the church as if empty.
At this time, a short man walked into the church, followed by a tall and thin figure, who was wrapped in the same robe as Gray, and his appearance was also invisible.
They walked in, only found the last row of benches near the door and sat down.
Gray turned his head, pushed the priest who was praying, and reminded in a low voice, "Someone is coming."
Unmoved, Su Wen continued to chant.Seeing that he didn't respond, Gray didn't continue to remind him, and just waited quietly by his side.
Soon.
Su Wen stood up after praying. He didn't take the lead to greet the people who came in later, but sent away the young man beside him first and said, "Mr. Gray, I'm sorry that I can't continue studying with you tonight. Please come back tomorrow."
Gray nodded, Su Wen sent him to the door of the church and then turned around to talk quietly with the young men behind him.
After walking away, Gray whispered from the transparent whispering star conch that he forgot to pick in his ear: "My lord, please follow me."
From the time Gray passed by the young man, he had recognized a strand of blue hair hidden under the cape.
He should also be a member of the Kiranji family. Why did he come here? Man probably wants to know about it.
Grai, who was listening carefully to the movement in the star snail, did not notice that there was someone coming in front of him, and Grai bumped into that person firmly.
Gray was startled, he raised his head and saw that it was Bishop Shimentor.
"Master Shimengtor." Su Wen from the church hurried over: "You came back just in time, and the honored guest is already waiting in the confession room."
Su Wen noticed that Gray hadn't gone far, so he asked, "Mr. Gray? Why haven't you come home yet?"
Seeing that his disciples seemed to be acquainted with him, Shimengto asked, "Who is this little gentleman?"
Su Wen replied: "Those who are thirsty for knowledge of our truth."
Upon hearing this, Shmonto smiled cordially at Grai: "You are welcome, our honor."
"It's getting late, I'm leaving first." Gray responded stiffly.
Shmonto smiled: "You can come here anytime you need it, our door is always open for you."
Gray, who left the church in a hurry, did not dare to go to the small hotel opposite, but made a false turn and turned into an unfamiliar alley. Just as Gray was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he was covered by two different hands at the same time. muzzled, captive into the shadows.
Early the next morning, Man and Ferret shoved Gray into the church.
"Hello?" Su Wen greeted him. He recognized the young man, but he was not familiar with the other two adults who escorted Gray into the church like prisoners: "Mr. Gray? Who are they?"
"We are his guardians, due to our profession, please forgive us for not showing our true colors." Man gently pinched down the brim of his hood to show his respect.
"Yesterday, the child went back and told us that thanks to your care these days." He put his hands on Grai's shoulders with a very loving look.
Gray, on the other hand, stiffened his legs and looked coldly at the playful man. He didn't know who was furious when he heard that he was "observing the target at close range" last night, and almost threw him out of the hotel window on the third floor.
Su Wen smiled: "Your child is talented and has a kind heart that is willing to help others. He has helped me in times of crisis. He is the call of the gods."
The ferret covered his hood to minimize his aura. He was indeed not suitable for such occasions that required quick-talking.
Through the barrier of mist on his face, Man's tone was also full of smiles: "Then since he is interested, I want him to be baptized here with you."
Gray was startled.
Is this different from what was said in advance?
Yesterday Man followed Yuexi to come here, and the ferret followed the bishop back here, and just as the three people in the church met, the three people outside the church watching in the dark also met as scheduled, Man and Ferret saw the boy wandering from the church When they came out, they thought that Grai had made a fuss, and after some thought, they decided to use their tricks to get close, and then found out their relationship with Yue Xi, and found out what was hidden about them. Value, worth multiple trips by a daughter of a clan.
"That couldn't be better." Su Wen said pleasantly: "To be honest, I've been waiting for him for a long time... Oh no, I mean, another child has been blessed."
"You two can rest assured that the Dongfei religion is the sect closest to the gods. We will lead him to the light, and you two can also take this opportunity to learn more about our god of Dongfei." Su Wen did not forget to continue to expand his knowledge missionary crowd.
"...Grey didn't tell us that you belong to the Eastern Fei religion? How did the Eastern Fei religion come to our west?" Man pretended to be surprised.
Ferret and Gray followed the room number on the address to a guest room on the top floor, pushed the door open and entered.
Man early waiting there.
"Why are you two so slow?" Man pulled the two of them in and closed the doors and windows.
"What's the matter with the pink ugly monster in your hand?" Man just glanced at it, and suddenly remembered that he still had something to do, so he hurriedly stopped his complaints: "Forget it... Let me make a long story short, you are responsible for these few days." Keep an eye on here, carefully observe and pay attention to the people coming and going from the church opposite. Especially pay attention to whether there are blue-haired people going in, if there is, you'd better find out her intentions."
Gray looked around the room, and compared to the luxurious room he lived in before, this place looks much poorer.He sat down on the bed, and the hard touch was no better than a coffin board.
"Is this the additional task you mentioned? Peeping Tom?" The ferret listened to Man's orders and walked up to the window. Sure enough, as soon as he lowered his gaze, he could see through the transparent hexagonal glass that there was a house diagonally opposite the window. A deserted little church.
The streets in this small corner alley are too narrow, and even the dripping water under the wet shorts and underwear of a family on the opposite side that is drying on the balcony can be seen clearly with the naked eye.
"Last night, Yuexi Guilanzhi came out of the palace in disguise. I thought she knew that I was hiding the person who rescued Rhea, so she acted. I followed her all the way here, and met Gray on the way. , but it seems to be a coincidence, she didn't notice him, but came here directly, stayed in the church opposite for a while, and then returned to the palace the same way."
"I want to know if she is hiding any secrets that no one knows." Man stepped forward to stand in front of the window with the ferret, and he took out an exquisite small box from his arms and handed it to the ferret, saying: "Here There are also two Buzzing MSI screws that I glued to the bottom of the letter box in the church. It does a good job of bugging. That way you can not only see what they're doing, but also hear what they're talking about .”
"Put it on, you have to wear it all these days, and you can't take it off when you sleep." Man said.
The round and small star snails are only the size of a fingertip.The ferret took out a star snail from the box. He had only seen this kind of wiretapping tool in books. This kind of high-end product was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it was not used in some sinister jobs.
"I don't want to do that," said the ferret.
"You have received my deposit, you have to do things for me, listen to me, black knight." Man said.
"Then I will give you back the one miran now."
"It's late." Man Guo said decisively.
The ferret reluctantly took a star screw and stuffed it into his ear.
Only then was Man satisfied and said, "What about the other one?"
The eyes of the two looked at the boy who had already climbed onto the bed. It was rare for him to lie on the bed quietly and do not know what he was looking at.
"Hey, kid!"
Gray lying on the bed was unmoved.
Man frowned, and then remembered that the language communication between him and Grai was still not smooth, and they still needed ferrets to communicate with each other to understand each other.Man turned to the people around him and said, "Teach him how to speak when you have time, okay?"
"The clan meeting is about to start in an hour. I'll take a step first. Let the little devil put on the star conch. I'll come back tonight and report the situation to me." As he said, he was full of Whispering Stars. Luo's small box was placed on the table, he put the hood over his head, and hurriedly left the room.
There were only two people left in the room. The ferret walked towards the bed and asked in Grai's familiar language, "Grai, what are you doing?"
The boy on the bed was flipping through a greasy book, when he saw someone calling him, he moved his body to the inside of the bed, making room for the visitor.
As the ferret approached the bed, he glanced at the pages of the book, and in a moment of shock he pulled the book away from Gray's eyes.
"Where did you get it?" the ferret couldn't bear to look directly.
"Um...under the bed." Gray replied.He didn't dare to say that he picked it up from the old bookstall before.
"Now is not the time for you to read this kind of book." Ferret said seriously.
Gray said frankly: "It's just a few paintings, and isn't this normal? Both men and women have such needs."
The ferret ruthlessly threw the book into the trash can: "It's too early for you to 'need' now."
Gray looked at the dignified and provocative expression of the person in front of the bed. The pictures on it were just some common poses, but the ferret's shy expression was very intriguing. Gray guessed that the ferret might have never... …
Thinking of this, Gray closed his mouth wisely: "Okay."
Such a big man still has a serious and pure appearance in the face of secular affairs. Gray feels that if he now flaunts his achievements in this area at any time, there is a great possibility that this noble and solemn man will be overwhelmed. The young man threw him into the wastebasket as mercilessly as he threw the pornographic book just now.
After thinking about it seriously, Gray decided to wait until when the ferret was in need. He would talk about his experience and tell him that the book was not pornographic at all. After all, not only did he see all the poses in the book But also mastered all of them proficiently.
The next day, the midday sun poured into the window, and Gray, who had been lying in front of the window all morning, felt that his hair was going to be burnt yellow.
The church on the opposite side of the window is fine. Usually, there are very few people passing by in this small corner alley, and there are no people in the church.
Gray touched it hanging behind his ear, a transparent and cold soft object stuck behind his ear like a tiny earthworm, it was extended from the screw hole of the bugle star screw plugged in his ear, used to It is convenient to hang the star snail on the ear stably, so that the star snail will not fall into the things protruding from the cochlea.
Gray didn't know what kind of brains worked out such a tiny thing, but after he learned about the function of this gadget from the ferret, he felt that if this thing could be made earlier, they would The old assassins of the past may not have to take the risk of going under the bed to listen to the corner of the wall, dirty and tired are not flattering.
The two people in the room have not left the window since early in the morning. They are staring at the deserted church outside, their eyelids are sore.
Just as the boy in front of the window was drowsy from the sun, someone downstairs pushed a small wooden wheeled cart through the alley. There was a row of grills on the cart, and wisps of gray carbon smoke radiated from it. The smell of meat floated up the windows along with the green smoke.
Gray sniffed, then turned to the people beside him and said, "I'm hungry."
Just as the ferret was about to say something, it happened that there was a clear and deafening knock on the door from the star snail in his ear.
Gray was also startled to notice, he leaned against the window and looked out.
At this moment, outside the church door, a group of people in white robes stepped straight into the church door.
After that, there was no other sound from the star snail. Just when the two eavesdroppers wondered if the star snail was broken, the group of people in white robes withdrew after a short while. The middle-aged man please send it out.
"Bishop Shimento, please reconsider and accept the protection of the Holy Deer Palace." A man in white robe persuaded: "Your situation is not safe. According to the report from the knight detachment we sent to Wood Pigeon City a few days ago, Among the bishops who currently hold the original scriptures, only you are still alive."
"We suspect that this was a crime committed against the original code."
"Or to ensure your safety, please transfer the original code to the Holy Deer Palace for safekeeping."
In front of the church, the man dressed as a pastor smiled slightly and said, "The original scriptures are my teachings of truth. The meaning of the original scriptures does not lie in a page of text, it is more of a symbol. I will not transfer it to others."
The white robe said humanely: "You misunderstood, we just want to ensure your safety."
"We heard that Bishop Lavlov of Wood Pigeon City is your close friend."
"Yes." The pastor man replied.
"Unfortunately, the original scripture held by Bishop Lavlov was not found in his body or in the church, and there is no record of Bishop Lavlov sending items out of the letter house in Wood Pigeon City. We guess it should be the murder of Lavlov Bishop Love's murderer stole it, and contacting the disappearance of other bishops who possessed the original scriptures, we have reason to think that you are in danger."
"Please consider carefully."
"Lavlov's original scripture is different from the scriptures we hold." The bishop said: "It has its own consciousness, and it will not be used by people other than those it agrees with. It may have chosen a new one to convey its holy meaning." listener."
"As for myself, death should have come long ago." The bishop said indifferently.
At night, Manpunshi, like a strange ghost, knocked on the door of the small hotel.
Man closed the door, and there was a strong smell of barbecue in the room.
"What's the taste?" The clan's children, who have always had a delicate taste, don't like such a strong taste.
The ferret said: "We bought some garlic sausages later."
"Can't you eat some decent food?" He held his breath in disgust.
Under the eaves of people, ferrets are not easy to refute.
Gray, who was playing with his own bones on the bed, couldn't understand their communication. He held a bamboo stick with a sausage in one hand, and played a game of building a card tower on the bed sheet with his flexible hand bones in the other.From time to time, Grai took a big bite of the garlic sausage in his hand, and the boy's mouth became bright red due to the oil from the sausage.
This vulgar and casual appearance made this well-mannered aristocratic child very tired: "Hey, you are not allowed to eat on the bed."
Gray couldn't understand, but he knew how to read words and expressions, and when he saw the disgusted expression staring at the oily sausage in his hand, he roughly guessed what Man meant.
But Gray not only didn't care about it, he even chewed the sausage a few more times viciously, and when he waited for Man to approach him, he burped his mouth against his face with a long smell.
He was so angry that he rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and nose, wishing he could just jump away from Grai eight feet away.
Gray laughed secretly. If he had any quirks, it would be that he loved to tease people who were obsessed with cleanliness.
"You tell him not to eat these pungent foods before going to bed from now on! Get him to brush his teeth quickly!" Man knew that nothing he said would work, and only ferrets could communicate with this child, so he wiped out any signs of temper Transfer to ferrets.
Seeing this, the ferret had no choice but to say a few words to Gray.
Gray wasn't annoyed, he just couldn't get used to the pretense of clean freaks, so he just played tricks on purpose.Gray also knew how to restrain himself. He listened to the ferret's plea, rolled out of bed like a little tiger, followed him bone-stumblingly, and went into the bathroom with him.
With a face full of intolerance, he pushed open the window, facing the cool night wind, he was able to breathe more or less.
Man leaning against the window: "I have checked, the name of the owner of this church is Heka Shmentor. I have investigated his details, he is a member of the East Church, and he was on the East Church purge list a few years ago Name."
"Did you find out today?"
The ferret said: "Several holy deer knights came here today, and a middle-aged man in the church received them. He should be the bishop you mentioned. Those holy deer knights claimed that Bishop Shi Mengtor Dangerous, but the bishop refused their protection."
Man Si said: "Recently, there have indeed been people like pagan fanatics attacking these Eastern Christians who were exiled in the West Continent."
"I heard that several bishop-level Eastern Christians are missing, and they may have been killed. But why did the Holy Deer Palace intervene to protect them?"
Ferret recalled: "They mentioned doctrine, original text, these two words. They thought that Bishop Shimontor was the survivor who held the original text."
Man didn't know much about the situation in this area, and he still couldn't figure it out, so he said, "I'll go back and find out more about it."
"You should also pay close attention here." Man murmured, "I don't know how Yuexi got involved with the Eastern Christians... Could it be that she wants to follow our mother's example and change her faith? Join the Eastern Christians?"
Getting up early in the morning is still a day of voyeurism, but Gray doesn't mind this kind of secret life, he just picked up his old job.
But today was a bit of a surprise. The old-looking middle-aged man quietly left the church early in the morning wearing the monk's uniform of the Eastern Church.
Gray and the ferret spotted the lonely figure in time.
The ferret hesitated to follow and have a look.
Gray hugged the little pink elephant and pushed his arm. For some reason, he likes to hug this furry thing very much recently: "Go, I'll watch here."
The ferret said worriedly: "Then don't run around in the house."
"Let go of your silly worries." Gray urged.
All morning, the ferret followed and did not come back.
The facade of the church is still closed, the front street is still deserted, and Grai is bored by the window. At some point, the fingertips of the bones slip out of Grai’s short sleeves, and it is always jumping happily on Grai’s body like a bird. The restless little mouse.
Gray looked at the church diagonally across the field of vision, thoughtfully.
The churches, especially the shabby ones, are mostly similar in appearance, and they all have a kind of magic that calms Gray's mind.
Gray thought for a while, anyway, the bishop had already left, and the church was a public place, so it wouldn't be considered his whereabouts if he went for a casual stroll.
Gray made up his mind immediately, he called the bone back into the jacket, he put on his little kimono, and just in case, he took the little pink elephant with him, and stuffed it into the puppet's cotton inner core. He picked up a sharp toy dagger, after all, he always felt unsafe without a self-defense weapon.
When he was ready, Gray turned around and stepped out of the door, walking towards the church across the street.
In the church, obscure dust stained the glimmer of silence.
The hem of the cloak dragged across the floor tiles, and Gray walked gently through the narrow aisle between the rows of prayer benches with the baby elephant in his arms.
A distant, holy voice echoed in the church:
"... shall not be heard. I call upon your coming, the lamb in the dusty journey, and walk where you have set foot, fear no calamity, the roads we walk are like this, we will be honored by your glory all day long, and we will be faithful to you forever Your joy will not be put to shame..."
There were other priests here, but what the praying priest was facing was not an ordinary sculpture of a god.
But a bone.
There is only an old wooden chair standing on the central steps of the church, on which a purple-red robe with gilt sleeves is covered with white bones covered with spider webs.
Grai slowly approached, looking at the thin figure in front of him kneeling devoutly in front of the bone and reciting in a low voice, Grai actually gave birth to an unimaginable familiarity...
The priest closed his eyes and stopped chanting when he sensed someone behind him.
Su Wen turned around and saw a short figure standing beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Little?"
The face under the robe was hidden from view due to the mist. Su Wen knew that this kind of people in pitch-black robes belonged to a kind of gray profession - black cavalry.
But in the face of his beliefs, even if it is an arsonist, he can treat everything equally.
"You?" Gray saw the familiar face, and suddenly recalled that this was the missionary who was so easy to get rid of that night.
"Your voice sounds familiar?" Su Wen thought for a moment, then switched to the old saying in surprise: "You are from before!"
"You have a good memory." Gray pulled off his hood to reveal his face.
Su Wen looked at the boy's black riding outfit and thought to himself, he couldn't help but said in his mother tongue: "So you are... no wonder you know some physical skills..."
"Huh?" Gray was still a little confused about the New Westland language.
Su Wen said enthusiastically and positively: "Why did you come here? Did you change your mind? Are you here to be baptized?"
Gray resisted: "No, I didn't know you were here. I just like the church better. The appearance here makes me feel at ease, so I walked in unconsciously."
Su Wen was generally relieved: "It seems that you do have a feeling for our god."
"This has nothing to do with belief, it's just my marriage..." Gray immediately sealed his mouth, he couldn't go any further.
Su Wen knows that it takes enough time for a person to break out of ignorance. As a missionary, he is not in a hurry. He knows that he must get closer to people before he can truly enter their hearts.Su Wen noticed the pink puppet in the boy's hand: "Pink elephant? You like it."
Gray shook his head immediately, and pretended not to care about it, "I just put it on on the floor."
Su Wen bowed deeply to the bones, then stood up and asked, "Then can it speak?"
Gray was puzzled, how could a cloth elephant talk?
Seeing this, Su Wen knew that the boy hadn't explored this far, so he stretched out his hand to the little elephant.
Gray, however, took the little elephant away vigilantly.
"Don't worry." Su Wen withdrew his hand in embarrassment: "There is a sound-absorbing star snail in your little elephant. You untie the ribbon on the back of it, and there is a hard and round thing besides cotton, which should be in the elephant. Where the head is, you take it out?"
Dubiously, Gray untied the ribbon of the elephant puppet, revealing a piece of white cotton. He reached in with his hand, bypassed his self-defense dagger, and really touched another piece.
He took out the small star snail, which was only the size of a coin.
"Now you can press it and say a few words to the screw mouth, and the star screw will record your voice."
Gray said ignorantly, "What, what are you talking about?"
"Say hello, give your name, or say something to wish happiness." Su Wen said.
Under the eager eyes of the young priest, Gray hesitantly raised the screw and brought it close to his mouth: "Uh... hello, I'm Gray, I wish you happiness."
"..."
"Is this okay?" Gray felt like an idiot for obeying what he was told just now.
Su Wen said: "Of course, you can put it back into the elephant, and pinch its trunk to see the effect."
Gray put the star snail back in place again, but he hesitated to pinch its nose.
At this moment, Su Wen graciously helped to pinch the elephant. Immediately, the childish voice resounded in the church.
'Hello, I'm Grace, I wish you happiness. '
Su Wen smiled and said, "It's very interesting, you can press it yourself."
"No!" Gray suddenly felt ashamed. He swore that he would never touch the trunk of this elephant in his life. It was too fucking embarrassing.
"How do you know this? Do you still play with this kind of doll at your age?" Gray said.
"I used to work in a doll shop and sew this kind of dolls." Su Wen said.
Gray was going to quickly forget about this thing that only learned his speech, but he didn't intend to leave the church just like this. Since he happened to know a priest here, he could try to get him out of his mouth. Come up with something.
Gray thought that since he used those two people for his current food and drink, it seemed unreasonable to just do nothing for others and not do anything for others.
Gray planned to do something in return. He asked, "Are you the only one in this church?"
"There is also a noble bishop." Su Wen replied.
Gray dragged the elephant's leg and looked around casually. There were a row of bookshelves on the walls on both sides of the church.
Su Wen always paid attention to the boy's gaze: "What books does Mr. Gray like to read? I can introduce it to you."
"No, I'm not interested in books." Gray turned around: "But from your tone, you seem to be very knowledgeable? Have you read all the books here?"
"It's far from being erudite, but I have a little understanding. I've only read the books here a few times." Su Wen's humility in words can't hide the desire for answers in his eyes that want him to ask.
Unable to bear it, Gray asked casually, intentionally or unintentionally, "Then do you know the Demon King?"
Su Wen paused for a moment, and said: "There is a saying in the scriptures: the extreme evil subverts the concept and creates an indescribable sense of confusion. But you must clearly understand that evil is evil after all, and there is only abyss to indulge in."
It was clearly an old saying, but Gray couldn't understand a word: "...I'm just asking you if you know, what's the mess... If you don't know, get out of the way, I'm going back."
Su Wen Monroe said: "The devil is not born to be the devil."
"Before he became the devil, he originally had an ordinary name. He was also an ordinary person, an ordinary person with a little ambition. At that time, people did not find the hidden dangers. At that time, people always liked to refer to 'ambition' "Aspirational" to describe it. He was never satisfied, which was recognized as a strength at the time. He had a positive interest in everything and he would act on it. So in some ways, this made him the best of his era By."
Gray stopped in his tracks, surprised at what he saw with his own eyes.
Su Wendao: "This sentence is the content recorded in the prologue of the Rao Era in "Soli's Experience". Soli, the lord of time, saw all the well-known bad deeds of the Demon King during his distant travels. Most of them are in the "Devil King 'After becoming the devil, Soli said: 'No one knows how the devil became the devil, but I think it should be a tragedy.'”
"Sorley..." Gray heard a familiar name, one of the few people he had a good impression of at that time.
Moreover, his 'knowledge' was indeed from a fair standpoint, which involuntarily brought back some long memories for Gray.
"Our Lord of Time, Soli." As he said, Su Wen prayed devoutly to the bone.
Gray was startled, he came back to his senses, and stared at the pile of bones seriously: "You don't think it's Solly, do you?"
Su Wen shook his head. Just as Grai was about to let go, Su Wen said slowly, "This is just the intention of the gods entering the mundane world. The soul of Suo Li has penetrated into every corner of time."
"You can feel his presence every breath you take."
"He has merged into time."
Su Wen said piously.
Gray stared at the aged bones piled up in the back of the chair on the steps, and said in a daze, "He's really Solly...how do you know this?".
"There is nothing more sensible than books." Su Wen said.
Gray lowered his gaze, and he looked around the books again, earnestly: "I don't understand your writing, can you teach me?" Gray thought, he should face up to the passage he had already read. The time is irretrievable.
"Of course." Su Wen said happily.
In the evening, return to the hotel.
"I followed the bishop for a long way, and I arrived at the outskirts of the royal capital, where there is a wild forest. There is a barrier outside, and I guess I can't pass without the corresponding key rune. , so I didn’t follow up.” The ferret who had just rushed back to the hotel explained while drinking water to moisten his throat.It is not so easy to hide whereabouts in sunny days, and it takes a lot of effort for ferrets to sneak and follow a large living person.
Sitting on a chair, still wearing a sneaky attire in the night, he asked, "What about the church?"
The ferret put down the teacup: "Grey has been staying here." After that, he transformed Man's question into short sentences that Gray could understand.
Gray, who was meditating on the bed for some reason, replied briefly: "Nothing happened. After the man left, there was only one priest in the church, and no one else came. The priest has been praying, facing Solly's bones... that's all .”
Ferret relayed it back.
Full of doubts: "How can he be so clear about the internal structure of the church? Has he entered the church?"
The ferret also had this question, so they happened to ask together
"I don't, I'm asleep." Without explaining any more words, Grai lay down on the bed perfunctorily, covering his head with the quilt.
Both Man and Ferret had doubts in their hearts.
In the next few days, the bishop went to the suburbs more frequently.
Gray took advantage of this period to go to the church to learn the language from Su Wen, and learn about the past that he had missed.
After these few days, Gray has mastered a lot of current pronunciation, and can roughly compose some simple sentences, and after these days of training, he can understand the language of the people around him more or less,
Also, it's about Curris.
He knew pretty much all there was to know about that period, the period after his death and before Cullis's.
Not only the title of 'Devil King', Curris seems to have many other strange nicknames: Lord of Sin, Uncrowned Lord of Demons, Butcher on the Snowman River, Howling Marshal, Cursed Man Who Can't Look at Each Other, etc. wait wait wait……
What is this stuff?
The more Grai understands these things, the more he feels that the chill of despair is taking root in the bottom of his heart step by step.
Those murderers who are tentatively counted as heroes smashed Kuris into thousands of pieces, and the pieces of the corpse were not simply dismantled, but pressured by countless runes. Like a series of strong chains, Kuris's torn body was imprisoned forever in the hell that never saw the light of day.
The most frightening thing is that his Curris has truly and completely 'dead'.
According to records, his Kuris' soul had been reduced to the food of the curse in the last fusion experiment with the cursed core, and his soul was swallowed up by the curse, leaving no residue.
His soul is no longer in this world...
Suddenly, an empty coldness rushed towards Grai like overwhelming mountains and seas.
"Mr. Gray, if you still have something you don't understand, you can ask me at any time, and I will definitely know everything."
Su Wen's eager eyes fell.
Reality is like irony.
Gray mentioned his last hope: "You are smarter than me, tell me, is there any ability in the world that can bring a person who has been burned to ashes back from the dead?"
Su Wen thought about it seriously: "There are a lot of works and studies on the technique of resurrection, but without exception, they all verify the fact that there are many difficulties in resurrection. The main reason is that the spirit son The time retained on the corpse is too short, any powerful restoration technique needs a certain amount of time to be designed and activated, and the body restored beyond the preservation time of the spirit is just a pile of walking dead, which is not a real resurrection at all .So far, there is no technique that can delay the death of people's consciousness and the departure of spirits. Even if the devil is alive, I don't think he has this ability."
"So in my humble opinion, the hypothesis of resurrection is impossible to be realized."
Su Wen continued: "If there is such a person who comes back from the dead, it can only be a miracle, the will of the great God. He must have another mission to let this person's soul stay in this world."
Gray lowered his eyes, and then wrote lightly: "You are right, it is God." It is God's malice.
Su Wen suddenly said happily: "You believe in our faith?"
"Don't get me wrong." Gray said.
The bell outside rang on time, and a heavy sound like mourning washed away the solemnity of the entire church.
"It's time for prayer, Mr. Gray, would you like to pray with me?" Su Wen invited, "Come on, put your hands together and sit on the mat."
Su Wen has slowly started to chant.
Gray was absent-minded. He had no intention of praying. After the priest closed his eyes sincerely, his eyes began to wander around the church as if empty.
At this time, a short man walked into the church, followed by a tall and thin figure, who was wrapped in the same robe as Gray, and his appearance was also invisible.
They walked in, only found the last row of benches near the door and sat down.
Gray turned his head, pushed the priest who was praying, and reminded in a low voice, "Someone is coming."
Unmoved, Su Wen continued to chant.Seeing that he didn't respond, Gray didn't continue to remind him, and just waited quietly by his side.
Soon.
Su Wen stood up after praying. He didn't take the lead to greet the people who came in later, but sent away the young man beside him first and said, "Mr. Gray, I'm sorry that I can't continue studying with you tonight. Please come back tomorrow."
Gray nodded, Su Wen sent him to the door of the church and then turned around to talk quietly with the young men behind him.
After walking away, Gray whispered from the transparent whispering star conch that he forgot to pick in his ear: "My lord, please follow me."
From the time Gray passed by the young man, he had recognized a strand of blue hair hidden under the cape.
He should also be a member of the Kiranji family. Why did he come here? Man probably wants to know about it.
Grai, who was listening carefully to the movement in the star snail, did not notice that there was someone coming in front of him, and Grai bumped into that person firmly.
Gray was startled, he raised his head and saw that it was Bishop Shimentor.
"Master Shimengtor." Su Wen from the church hurried over: "You came back just in time, and the honored guest is already waiting in the confession room."
Su Wen noticed that Gray hadn't gone far, so he asked, "Mr. Gray? Why haven't you come home yet?"
Seeing that his disciples seemed to be acquainted with him, Shimengto asked, "Who is this little gentleman?"
Su Wen replied: "Those who are thirsty for knowledge of our truth."
Upon hearing this, Shmonto smiled cordially at Grai: "You are welcome, our honor."
"It's getting late, I'm leaving first." Gray responded stiffly.
Shmonto smiled: "You can come here anytime you need it, our door is always open for you."
Gray, who left the church in a hurry, did not dare to go to the small hotel opposite, but made a false turn and turned into an unfamiliar alley. Just as Gray was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he was covered by two different hands at the same time. muzzled, captive into the shadows.
Early the next morning, Man and Ferret shoved Gray into the church.
"Hello?" Su Wen greeted him. He recognized the young man, but he was not familiar with the other two adults who escorted Gray into the church like prisoners: "Mr. Gray? Who are they?"
"We are his guardians, due to our profession, please forgive us for not showing our true colors." Man gently pinched down the brim of his hood to show his respect.
"Yesterday, the child went back and told us that thanks to your care these days." He put his hands on Grai's shoulders with a very loving look.
Gray, on the other hand, stiffened his legs and looked coldly at the playful man. He didn't know who was furious when he heard that he was "observing the target at close range" last night, and almost threw him out of the hotel window on the third floor.
Su Wen smiled: "Your child is talented and has a kind heart that is willing to help others. He has helped me in times of crisis. He is the call of the gods."
The ferret covered his hood to minimize his aura. He was indeed not suitable for such occasions that required quick-talking.
Through the barrier of mist on his face, Man's tone was also full of smiles: "Then since he is interested, I want him to be baptized here with you."
Gray was startled.
Is this different from what was said in advance?
Yesterday Man followed Yuexi to come here, and the ferret followed the bishop back here, and just as the three people in the church met, the three people outside the church watching in the dark also met as scheduled, Man and Ferret saw the boy wandering from the church When they came out, they thought that Grai had made a fuss, and after some thought, they decided to use their tricks to get close, and then found out their relationship with Yue Xi, and found out what was hidden about them. Value, worth multiple trips by a daughter of a clan.
