Endless Debt.

Chapter 810 Repentance
York still remembers the disaster a month ago, first there was a violent shock, and then the sky and the earth shook. At that time, York had just arrived on the street, and the earthquake wave that swept across destroyed most of the town, and many buildings collapsed into one The ruins of the land, people screaming and running around.

I thought this would be the end of the disaster, but who would have thought that this was just the prelude. When York called out to the townspeople and told everyone to hide in the empty streets, the ground under their feet seemed to be split, and it collapsed directly. The cracks surrounded the town until the entire town was swallowed by the spreading cracks.

When the roaring and trembling sound stopped, when York peeled off the dust on his body and stood up from the ruins, what he could see was no longer a clear sky, but a gray, huge, wall-like rock wall wrapped Living in Huishi Town is like a cage, sealing them here.

"What a terrible disaster..."

York sighed softly, bowed his head and closed his eyes, praying silently. As the only priest in the town, since the disaster happened this month, apart from helping others, the most common thing he has done is to serve the dead and the living. We pray, hoping to comfort others.

"Father York."

Some townspeople passed by, and everyone nodded to York, everyone's eyes were full of respect.

York is a kind priest who is very famous in Greystone Town.

His figure is slender and tall, about 1.8 meters tall, which makes him look tall and majestic. He is about 50 years old, with short natural hair and a neat mustache. There seem to be a lot of wrinkles on his face. But his eyes were always bright and warm, and he always smiled reassuringly when he saw others.

As a priest in a small town, York does not have gorgeous priestly attire, but a simple black vest that fits perfectly, a white shirt, a pair of black trousers, and black leather shoes. A touch of gaudy and flashy, yet very tasteful and personable.

Except for a small cross hanging on the chest of his waistcoat, he has no extra decorations on his body, so as not to show off his personal identity and status.

Everyone in the town knew that York was a devout believer who lived a life of abstinence, untainted by the slightest foreign object.

"Father."

Another person came and paid respects to York, who also smiled.

"Do you have time tonight?" The man didn't leave immediately.

"Oh? What's the matter, Jamie."

York looked at Jamie. In Greystone Town, Jamie was as famous as York, but unlike York, Jamie was notorious.

Some say that Jamie used to be a soldier, and others say that Jamie is a stranger from the neighboring city of oath, Opus...There are different opinions about his origin, but what people know is that from Jamie to Greystone Town On the first day, he was in a dark environment.

"You look much better," York complimented.

The usual Jamie always looks dirty, with greasy hair, unshaven beard, and worn-out clothes, full of mud, stains, and sometimes blood.Jamie is a thug in an underground casino. Fortunately, the disaster a month ago completely destroyed it.

"Haha."

Jamie laughed twice, and now he looks much more decent, with decent clothes and a silver ring on his fingertips.

For York's admiration, Jamie didn't say much. At the same time, York also found that Jamie's changes were a bit too appropriate, not like him before.

Did Jamie finally earn money through his own labor and live a normal life?

York felt that this was impossible. Due to the disaster a month ago, Greystone Town fell into the cracks that spread. During this time, people were rescuing the injured, rebuilding the town, and opening up connections with the outside world.Everyone lost a lot of money, but Jamie seems to have made a fortune from the disaster.

"Father, I have something to ask you tonight."

Jamie glanced at the townspeople hurrying nearby, he approached York, and spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"what's up?"

"I want to confess to you."

Jamie's eyes dodged, flitted across York's face, and landed on the little cross on his chest.

The whole of York presents a simple gray-black color, except for the cross, which symbolizes faith, which is made of pure gold and is golden, and it is the only property of York.

"repent?"

York was very surprised. He had persuaded Jamie countless times, hoping that he would go on the right path, but Jamie had never paid attention to himself. He did not expect that he would take the initiative to seek advice today.

Perhaps the disaster had changed him, York thought.

"it is good."

According to the information from the outside world, the source of this disaster came from the Great Rift in the City of Oath, Opus, where a terrifying earthquake occurred. When the aftermath of the earthquake spread outward, it also destroyed the Great Rift. When it was brought here, the continuously extending cracks were like tentacles, engulfing all the buildings along the way, until they reached the end and swept through Greystone Town.

It may be that Oath City Opals was too dazzling, and not many people cared about the disaster in Greystone Town. Fortunately, rescue arrived in time and saved many people.

Now the town is surrounded by towering rocks on all sides, blocking most of the light, leaving the town shrouded in a gloomy mist.

York walked the streets of the town, which were now rather narrow, winding, and sometimes even felt as if they had reached a dead end.

Regarding whether to stay or not, the townspeople have had a heated discussion for a long time. Some people think that they should leave the current Greystone Town and rebuild a small town on the ground, and some people are unwilling to leave their homes, even though it is now surrounded by high walls.

It is said that there is a similar town in the Great Rift. York remembers that it is called Autumn Wound, and he does not know whether it survived the disaster.

York didn't care about these arguments. He only cared about whether he could help others. He continued along the narrow street and soon came to the end of the town.

A narrow chasm opened before York's eyes, leading into a great chasm, with great slopes all the way down, until it disappeared into the murky darkness.

Some people said that this is a good opportunity to explore the bottom of the big rift, and there may be some surprising discoveries. Some people rejected this proposal. They said that they could hear strange sounds from the depths of the rift at night, as if A monster is howling.

York often stood here, staring into the darkness.

The townspeople had a lot of guesses about what would happen after the rift, but there was one thing that everyone tacitly didn't mention, that is, when facing the darkness after the rift, everyone couldn't help feeling a palpitation of fear Feeling, forcing people dare not take a step.

So is York.

Because it is in the rift valley, the night in Greystone Town always comes very early, dark shadows are cast on the streets, and there are almost no street lights. At night, the town looks darker and deeper, and thick fog often surrounds the town. , disturbing people's line of sight, so that the air is often filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

At this time, York had returned to his small church. Under the attack of the earthquake, the church was also damaged, but fortunately it did not collapse completely.

York lit the candle, and the power in Huishi Town was lost for a while, and everyone stayed behind closed doors at night, and they didn't know why Jamie was looking for him at night.

"Get well soon." York whispered.

The current Greystone Town has a sense of depression, people rarely speak, and their actions are relatively short. The impact of the disaster is still continuing, and the decadent and depressive atmosphere often makes people feel a little depressed and lonely.

York sat in the somewhat crooked confessional, waiting for Jamie to arrive in the dark.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, York heard someone push the door open. His steps were very light, like a thief. He got into the confession room, and then he became aware of York's existence, and the breathing disorder came from the darkness. For a moment.

York could feel that the other party was Jamie... Also, who else would come besides Jamie?

"What are you going to confess?"

The other party did not answer the question directly, but instead asked, "Father, according to the rules of keeping secrets, you will not tell anyone the content of my confession, will you?"

"Yes."

"I... I did something wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Something I can't say."

"You can confide in me."

The darkness was silent for a while, as if it was sorting out its language, and it seemed to be sorting out its own mood. After a long time, the voice sounded again.

"I did some wrong things and got riches that I didn't deserve."

The voice became painful.

"I didn't hurt anyone, I just... I saw the corpses lying in the ruins, and I thought that since they were already dead, they don't need what they had on them, right?"

York could already imagine what happened, and before York could say anything, the voice continued.

"As a priest, for your belief, you will keep it a secret, right?"

Before he finished speaking, York heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and he froze for a moment. When he chased out of the confession room, the figure who came to confess had disappeared into the vast night.

York knew it was Jamie.
