Ember Gun

  Chapter 420 Approval

"who are they?"

  Lorenzo looked at the slowly dispersing crowd, and he was very curious about these guys who suddenly emerged from the shadows.

   "Worker, it seems to be off work." Eve said.

   "No, this is the city, and there are no factories nearby." Haibod was obviously more careful than Eve's observation.

   "It's really all kinds of people..."

Lorenzo watched the crowd. There were men and women, old and young. From the clothes and behavior of everyone, we can see that these people have different identities in society, but they gather together because of something. Together.

  "Who do you think they are?"

   asked Eve, she suddenly remembered that the guy in front of her was a detective, and this question shouldn't bother him.

  "Believers, believers of Orthodox Church, just finished the assembly."

  Lorenzo replied simply.

  "How are you sure?" Eve didn't understand.

  "These people have nothing in common, and their professional personalities are different. Looking at the process of their dispersal, they did not do much to retain or talk too much. Most of them should not know each other."

  Lorenzo stared at the crowd closely. At this moment, this guy really looked like a detective.

  "Think about it roughly. The reason for bringing them together, besides the gathering, what else? The supermarket specials?"

"Although the official plan is to support the Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Church is still the mainstream in Gallunalone, but it is not as strong as before. They still dare not hold a meeting directly in the public. They can only choose places that avoid the line of sight. "

  Lorenzo said, walking towards the crowd that slowly dispersed.

"what are you up to?"

  Hybold hurriedly shouted, judging from Lorenzo's posture, he thought this guy was going to kill here.

  "Learn about Orthodoxy. After all, all of my understanding of this thing now comes from your narration. I want to hear what Orthodoxy is like in the eyes of believers."

  Lorenzo tidied his clothes, turned his head and smiled and said to Hybade.

   "Speaking of which you may not believe, I was a pastor."

  Lorenzo finished speaking and walked over confidently, leaving only Hybade and Eve standing in place.

   "Has his life been so colorful all the time?"

  Hybod still couldn't believe the fact that Lorenzo was a pastor.

  Eve thought for a while, then nodded.

   "It's a pity that you met us too late, otherwise Lorenzo might take you with you when he hits the monster with a train."

  Eve looked at the majestic and solid muscles of Hyboard, and added again.

   "You must be a good hand at slashing demons."

  ……

  After a full meal, everyone’s face is filled with a little lightness and joy, which not only satisfies the pleasure brought by hunger, but also the slight inner touch.

Hu Ao was squeezed into the street by the crowd. In the chaos, he saw faces similar to himself. He didn't know what others thought, but at least Hu Ao felt that he had lived so long and felt it for the first time. Good intentions are valued.

  He looked at Liya next to him. The girl was also very full, and she had a full hiccup on the way.

  "How to join the Orthodox Church?" Hu Ao lowered his head and asked.

  This is not just for the sacrament. What Hu Ao desires more is the atmosphere at that time, the feeling of being accepted. Although only a few minutes have passed, Hu Ao feels that he can truly come alive only there.

   "Join? You are already a believer of Orthodox Church."

  Liya smiled.

   "How..." Hu Ao didn't understand.

  “There is no so-called threshold of faith in Orthodox Church. If you are willing to believe, that's it. The door of Orthodox Church will open to everyone who needs it."

  Liya stretched her waist, she ate too much and felt her stomach distended.

   "I should go back, see you at the next meeting."

  She was like a cheerful little deer, bouncing away, but it may be because of eating too much. The little deer was a little slow to jump up.

  Gradually the crowd dispersed. Hu Ao stayed on the spot for a long time. He stared at the gas street lamp on the side, staring directly at the dazzling wick, and turned his head until tears came from his eyes.

  He looked at the dusty ground. After a while, a shadow approached him. After stopping not far away, Hu Ao raised his head and saw a man looking at him with a smile.

   "Hello, I think you are a believer in Orthodox Church, right?"

  Hu Ao did not react for a moment, he hesitated in his words, although Liya affirmed him, but Hu Ao was still a little at a loss, he was very unconfident.

  But this situation did not last long, so he nodded.

"Um."

   "Oh, in other words, did you just end the rally?"

  The man sniffed the surrounding air. Hu Ao thought he was smelling the fishy smell on his body. His shame and anger had just risen, but he was dispelled by the man's next words.

   "The taste of the food? You just finished the sacrament?"

  Looking at Hu Ao’s puzzled eyes, the man continued.

   "My nose is very good."

  Huao looked at the man warily. He remembered what Liya had said to him before. The believers of the Gospel Church did not welcome Orthodoxy. Some extreme guys even regarded it as heresy and used violence.

  He suspects that the kind guy in front of him is that kind of person, and he is playing his own words.

  "Introduce myself first, I am Lorenzo Holmos, a passenger from Inervig."

  Lorenzo stretched out his hand friendly, Hu Ao's expression slightly relaxed when he heard the passenger here, but then he said vigilantly.

   "My name is Hu Ao, and I don't know the Orthodox Church. I only learned about this today... It can be said that I have only been a teacher for a few hours."

   "Oh? Then do you have time to talk to me about this? Why do you want to join?"

  Lorenzo talked and walked aside, sitting on the cold steps like a social idler.

   is indeed a student who has studied under the hands of Oscar, Lorenzo disguised very well, his kind attitude almost perfectly fooled Hu Ao.

Huo thought for a while, and sat on the steps with Lorenzo.

  He was just an ordinary sailor, and his only money was tucked under the bed. Now he has nothing on him.

  Hu Ao briefly observed Lorenzo. Lorenzo was wearing the uniform of the orchestra. This awkward fellow was rarely tidy.

  Looking at the face that was a little pale because he had been in the house for a long time without seeing the sun, Hu Ao was completely relieved.

He has also met people like Lorenzo before. Those guys laughed at him, but under his clothes is a thin body, and Hu Ao has already developed a fierce energy under the waves for many years. With his hands, Hu Ao is confident to overthrow Lorenzo, a stranger.

  "Inverweg? I saw it from a distance on a fishing boat."

  Hu Ao said with a gesture, "Just at the end of the sea level, there is a hazy phantom, that should be when I was the closest to Inervig."

   "If you are interested, you are welcome at any time. If you report my name, maybe you don't need to make a transition in Xiacheng."

  Huao obviously didn’t understand what Lorenzo meant by the transition to the lower city, but he didn’t care either. He might never have a chance to leave the fishing boat in his life, let alone go to Invervig.

  "Then speaking of Muslims, I have a friend who is a pastor of an evangelical church. Perhaps he was influenced by him. I am quite interested in theology."

  Lorenzo was talking while observing Huo's reaction. He realized that his words were a bit wrong, and Lorenzo continued.

   "But don't worry, I am not a believer, I am just an ordinary person who is more interested in theology."

   "Is this..."

  Hu Ao can't let go of his vigilance, he wants to end the conversation quickly.

  "What do you think about Orthodox Church...As I said, I only became a believer for a few hours. I didn't even listen to the doctrine."

  Hu Ao felt a little embarrassed when he thought of this. The priest read aloud in front of the stage, and he didn't care about it at all, but kept eating.

  "When you look at a thing, you must first understand it, but I..." Hu Ao smiled embarrassedly, "I can't give you more answers about Orthodox religion."

   "It's okay, tell me why you joined? There must be some reason, right?"

  Lorenzo continued to ask, he really wanted to know what Orthodoxy had developed into, and in his experience, the quickest way to analyze it was to learn from these ordinary believers.

After countless years of development, the Gospel Church has completely transformed into another form today. The believers at the bottom still believe in God, and the high-level cardinals’ cognition of all this has become a division of interests. .

  Lorenzo still remembers the worst time in the history of the evangelical church. In order to ease the internal economy, the clergy even came up with such things as atonement vouchers.

   "Reason?"

   "Yes, the reason, you said, you didn't even remember the most important thing, the doctrine, so what drove you to join? Is it a timed sacrament?" Lorenzo asked.

  Lorenzo was right, but Huo felt a little uncomfortable, and then he aroused nameless anger and... ashamed.

  Yes, Hu Ao came for the sacrament. He didn't believe in any **** at all. He just pretended to be religious for this benefit.

  This side was broken by Lorenzo, he became angry, but the anger had not yet fully risen, and an unspeakable sense of shame filled his heart.

  He seems to have done something wrong. Although he has done nothing, Hu Ao feels that having that kind of thought is a mistake in itself.

  Hu Ao felt ashamed of his poor purpose, he blamed himself.

  He...began to believe.

"I don't know how to explain it. Actually, I was just trying to save some money at the beginning, but... but I don't know why, I really want to stay there, just like the people there are all of my kind. Only by getting along with them can I feel that I am a living person."

  Huao has lived for so long, this is probably the most complicated question he has ever thought about. He wants to explain to Lorenzo, but the knowledge he has learned is not enough for him to express his heart perfectly.

  He is like a bewildered child, whimpering and describing what he does not yet understand.

  "You can be recognized there as a living person, not a dispensable fellow, can you?"

  Lorenzo's face was indifferent, as if he fully understood Hu Ao's mood.

   "Probably... it is this kind of thing."

  Hu Ao answered blankly.

  Lorenzo stood up and sighed lightly. For some reason, at a certain moment just now, he saw himself in Hu Ao.

  I used to be a fanatic, because only oneself guards this sacredness, and there is such a place for himself and other people.

  That ridiculous sense of identity.

  To be honest, people are social animals. In any case, everyone will have similar troubles more or less.

  Lorenzo shook a little helplessly, saying goodbye to Hu Ao.

   "I think I know it, see you if you have a chance, Hu Ao."

  Lorenzo walked toward the other side of the street, and not far away, Hybade and Eve were waiting for him.

  "Are there any gains?" Eve asked.

   "Not much gain," Lorenzo shrugged, "but judging from the description in his mouth, that orthodox church is a bit upright."

  "Be upright?"

   "Almost, it sounds like a beautiful paradise built by a group of idealists," Lorenzo recalled, reluctantly saying, "The gospel church was like this at first, but everyone turned into a dragon in the end."

   "It seems that the Orthodox Church has already harvested a group of devout believers." Lorenzo turned his head, and Hu Ao's figure at the end of the street blurred little by little.

   "Compared with what we are going to do, the things that Maruri and Gallunalo have to face next are more stringent."

   "What will happen?" Haibod asked.

"In the conflict of beliefs, mad believers will fight together. The kind of endless death. The history of religious development is also a history of war. People of different denominations fought together. In the end, only the living one is left. The evangelical church is the one. living."

  He feels sad for the inferiority of human beings, and sometimes despairs because he can't find the answer.

  "If humans can understand each other, what else do they have to do with weapons?"

  Lorenzo smiled disdainfully.

  "Don’t you think these people are ridiculous? Put everything on those illusory gods, but don’t want to reach out and hold on to the things around them."

  Perhaps it was the reason why he was what he looked like. Lorenzo couldn't stop scolding this.

   "Okay, let's go." Eve said.

  The night has completely shrouded, and the bright street lights are shining like stars.

  Lorenzo paused, looking at this strange street, he remembered that he was in a foreign country... After all, Old Dunling was not his hometown.

   Without saying anything, several people speeded up their pace and returned to the hotel. After making a plan, they still had too many things to prepare.

  Of course, more importantly, I hope that Kestrel is still alive when I return, and Irene is still tied aside honestly.

In the hotel, Kestrel and Irene are sitting at both ends of the living room. Although their hands are handcuffed, this does not prevent Irene from grabbing the book with her hands. She is looking at the book calmly, the red on the other side Falcon could not stop the surge of thoughts in his mind.
