Nanny Cheng seemed very attentive in front of the bishop, without any of her usual rigidity and severity.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Because of their outstanding performance, they are rewarded to participate in this blessing today."
The bishop signaled to the nun behind him to push the wheelchair so that he could get closer to Levi and the other four people.
He looked at Levi and the other four very seriously, with a smile on his face that never faded, as if to express that he was very satisfied with these children.
"They are all very good children. We can tell them more about Twilight's teachings. If they are willing to join us and become one of us, that would be great."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Wang Xiaole, who had been staying in the corner like a transparent man.
When Wang Xiaole noticed the bishop's eyes, his body froze visibly. He looked very nervous, but when that comforting and relaxing voice sounded, he unconsciously relaxed.
"Xiao Le, right? You should also work harder to learn doctrine and the gospel. Maybe you can become a church pastor in the future."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaole couldn't help but reveal surprise and anticipation on his face.
The church pastors were obviously in two different classes from the workers. They were big shots that he had never dared to think about before, but now he was one of the most powerful people in the city, and the person in charge of the pastors actually said that he also had the opportunity to become a pastor!
"Can I really?"
"You have a pair of very clear eyes, which will bring you good luck. I sincerely hope that one day in the future, if I am not old yet, I can personally hand over the Starlight Cross that belongs only to priests to you."
He blinked at Wang Xiaole and encouraged him with a smile.
After encouraging everyone present, the old bishop seemed a little tired, and the nun pushed him out of the prayer hall.
"That bishop is such a good man. Even in the Central Region, it is hard to find such a kind and benevolent Twilight believer."
As Nanny Cheng led them back to the choir, Feng Zi, who was following Li Wei, whispered.
Li Wei did not make any comment on this. He just looked at Nanny Cheng's straight back and spoke softly.
"But even facing such a good bishop, our Madam Cheng seems to be a little afraid of him."
Fengzi turned her head and glanced at Nanny Cheng's back, her face full of confusion.
"How did you tell?"
"When the bishop left, your attention was on him, but I was watching Nanny Cheng. Her clenched hands gradually relaxed, and her expression became much more relaxed."
Feng Zi frowned when she heard what Levi said.
"That's not right. I heard from other maids that Aunt Cheng is an old lady in the church who has been with the bishop for a long time. Even though she made some mistakes in the past, the bishop never punished her too much. So why would she be afraid of the bishop?"
Levi shook his head, his eyes revealing something he was thinking, and then he changed the subject.
"Can you please stop using the communicator to chat with me about random things every night?"
Feng Zi glared at him and whispered.
"What do you mean by chatting about nonsense? I'm teaching you physics knowledge so that you can learn science more deeply!"
"Is it part of science to tell me about my roommate's gossip about not liking to wash her feet?"
"It's important to know when to relax! I'm afraid you'll get tired from studying so I'm trying to find a topic to relax you!"
"I see you don't dare to talk to other people, so you can only find me to talk."
"You've learned how to slander! 626!"
Chapter 31 My Eyes
The cloud of light that covered the entire dome gradually became darker during this day.
According to the popular science Fengzi told Li Wei, the great scientists at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics believe that the underground city of the sun has reached the most suitable time for the rainy season.
There will be continuous rainy days in the next two months.
Sure enough, on the afternoon of the day Fengzi finished her science lecture, heavy rain poured down, carrying with it the unique haze in the air, washing the dirty ground.
It was on such a rainy day, in the evening, that Nanny Cheng, who had finished today's training course, called the five people who had been rewarded to participate in the Twilight Blessing two days ago.
"There is a missionary pastor who will be giving a sermon tonight. If any of you have time, you can come and listen."
There was something strange about her voice. Her tone was as cold and calm as usual, but upon closer listening, it sounded like she was trembling.
But Levi and the others certainly had no reason to refuse such a thing. After all, the Catholic Church had said that they should be exposed to more teachings of Twilight.
After dinner, Nanny Cheng took them to a small independent prayer hall near the back mountain of the church.
There are only five rows of benches in the prayer hall, with a stove burning hot water in the middle. The light and heat from the charcoal fire dispel the cold and dampness brought by the rainy day, making people feel obviously comfortable.
But when Levi and the others arrived, there was no one inside.
"The priests are still having their meal. Please wait here for a while. We won't keep you waiting for too long."
After saying this, Nanny Cheng turned and left the prayer hall, leaving behind the five choir children.
Fengzi sat next to Levi with her face propped up. She stared at the rain outside the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Levi hid his hand in the wide sleeves of his church uniform and grasped a cold, hard object.
The other three children sat around the fireplace. They all knew that Levi and Fengzi belonged to a small group. The two of them always kept to themselves, and the others seemed out of tune with them and couldn't fit in.
About ten minutes passed like this. The rain outside was getting heavier, but still no one came to the prayer hall.
The three children gathered around the fire seemed to enjoy this. They were chatting all the time, and the silence between them and Levi was clear.
Fengzi was still in a daze, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had thought of something bad.
But in fact, if someone knew her well enough, they would be able to guess that she must be recalling some troublesome experiment, or something bad like losing two coins at some point in time.
Levi suddenly stood up from the bench.
Feng Zi noticed his movements and woke up from her daze.
"what happened?"
"Did you hear anything?"
Their conversation also attracted the attention of the other three children, and the entire prayer hall fell completely silent at this time.
But apart from the sound of dense raindrops hitting the roof outside the house, they didn't hear anything unusual.
Levi frowned deeply at this time.
No one else heard it, but he could hear it very clearly. Amid the noisy sound of rain, there was a faint sound of desperate and sad crying!
"Did you hear it wrongly? There was no sound at all."
One child said with dissatisfaction that he felt Levi was just making a fuss and deliberately attracting other people's attention in this way.
Just as he was about to return to the topic between the three of them, Levi had already walked to the door of the prayer hall.
He pushed the door with his hand, but it didn't budge.
The door was locked from the outside!
Feng Zi's expression became serious when Levi said there was a sound.
She has always believed in Li Wei unconditionally, and even in front of a close elder like Feng Yanyi, she always focuses on protecting Li Wei.
So when Levi said there were unusual sounds, there must be something unusual.
Both of them had arrived at the door. Feng Zi took a deep breath, and her heart beat faster for some reason. Although she didn't hear anything, she had a bad feeling.
"Now how to do?"
"They chose to take action today?" Levi said calmly.
"Who?" Feng Zi's face was full of confusion.
"Either he is the murderer of the massacre, or he is the one who stole the bodies from the entire cemetery. Of course, it is also possible that the same group of people did both."
Feng Zi couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"How did you know?"
Levi didn't say how he knew that.
It was impossible for him to speculate that because this was a game, he was the only player in the game and that all the events he experienced here would eventually be related to the players.
He just pulled Fengzi back a step, then suddenly stretched out his leg and kicked open the door that was locked from the outside!
"Boom!"
The sound of the door being kicked open startled the three children who sat back by the stove, thinking that Levi was just talking nonsense.
"What are you going to do? Madam Cheng told us to wait here obediently!"
Levi had no intention of paying any attention to the three men. He touched the thing hidden in his sleeve and then walked into the rainy night.
It was raining heavily, and there was no light on in the backyard of the church except in the prayer room where they were.
The whole world was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Levi didn't need to use his eyes to see, he just needed to use his ears to identify the source of the sobbing and find the direction to go.
It's not that he wants to meddle in other people's business, but the current situation is very obvious. They have become the target of the person behind everything that has happened during this period.
Fengzi grabbed the corner of his clothes and followed closely behind him.
The heavy rain soaked their choir uniforms, and the cold rain hitting their faces was painful.
After walking for a few minutes, a small house with dim lights appeared in their sight.
This is the northwest corner of the entire church. There is nothing here except an abandoned shed. Even the police officers investigating the empty grave case in the church would not come to such a place.
After seeing the abandoned shed, Levi slowed down, but the people in the shed seemed to have heard the unusual noise, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out!
She was moving very fast, much faster than a normal person. Even Levi found it difficult to see her face in such a dark environment.
The black shadow was so panicked after being discovered that it only wanted to escape and had no intention of staying!
With Levi's reaction and physical fitness, he had a chance to grab her with his bare hands. However, before he was about to reach out, a familiar voice suddenly made his body freeze.
".my.my eyes"
In the second that he was stunned, the black shadow had already rushed out and disappeared into the rainy night.
Levi ignored the man who escaped and slowly walked into the dilapidated shack that was leaking air on all sides.
Under the kerosene lamp swaying in the wind, a boy with only a pair of bloody holes left where his eyes used to be was lying on the bloody ground, crying!
".Auntie Eyes. My eyes"
Chapter 32 Slaughterhouse
Wang Xiaole was lying in a pool of blood.
A short blade was stuck in his chest and ribs, and blood continued to flow out of his two completely empty eye sockets.
Levi slowly walked to his side. The sobbing and crying boy felt the movement beside him. He gradually stopped crying and stretched out his blood-stained hand to grab the hem of Levi's robe.
Levi squatted down and grabbed his hand.
The boy raised his head and tried to look at the person in front of him with his bleeding eyes, but he could see nothing.
But even so, he recognized who Levi was.
"I am dying, sir."
The boy said timidly with a crying voice.
Levi was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Of course, he didn't have any feelings for Wang Xiaole. They had only known each other for a few days, and the number of words they had spoken could be counted on one hand.
However, this boy was the first person he knew in this world who knew him well.
But his life was too sad and his death was too helpless.
"I actually recognized Mr. when I first chatted with him in church."
He was gasping for breath, and the short blade seemed to have pierced his lungs, making it particularly difficult for him to breathe.
"Sir, you are my benefactor and I will never forget your voice. But I know I cannot reveal your identity."
Levi didn't say anything, just let the boy hold his hand.
