Harry Potter Morning Light

After the current Pope, Gregory XI of France, moved the Holy See from Avignon to Rome in 1377, the Pope no longer lived outside the Vatican City.

No matter how fragile the defense made by the stone city wall is in front of modern weapons, it can still play a certain protective role.

In fact, after the death of Gregory XI, because of fear that the new Pope would move the Holy See away, riots broke out in Rome. The city wall played a great defensive role.

In order to ensure the safety of the city, every guard is carefully selected.

Atheism is also a kind of belief, but they believe in science and believe that science can explain everything, just like the priests in the Middle Ages believed that the Bible could explain all problems.

When a people changes its beliefs, it is at the same time destined to change all the elements of its civilization, nowhere more so than in dress.

In ancient times, Asians with Confucianism as the core of their civilization wanted to wear long hair. They thought it was an honor given to them by their parents, and it would hurt their dignity if they were damaged. Missionaries with short hair were treated as aliens when they entered that land. Most Asian men nowadays have short hair. If he has long hair, the teacher thinks it needs to be corrected.

If a person is too independent in the crowd, he will appear to be very out of group. In this era when most people believe in atheism, it is necessary to pretend that he has no belief.

The army needs soldiers who are loyal to their country, but some people think that faith is more important than the country. Not everything the government does is right, and the same is true in the police department.

In the Vatican, in addition to the Swiss guards, there are families who have served as the Pope’s guards for generations. These people have been engaged in this profession for hundreds of years. It is no longer a personal career, but a family business. Therefore, you must find loyalty in the Vatican. People are not difficult.

The Pope's butler found a security captain named Julianti to find a place for Joseph.

That place should not be too far from the Apostolic Palace, and at the same time, it should not attract attention. Fortunately, such a place is easy to find. The office building where the Pope’s private secretary lives can make room for him. It is just behind Raphael’s room. .

It can be said to be a seminary, but there are also people who are studying other topics, and there are also physics and astronomy professors from MIT and Harvard University who have given up their previous jobs and become ordinary monks.

"I heard that you are an exorcist." After bringing Joseph to the place, Juliati sat on the stool next to the single bed and asked, "How many demons have you exorcised?"

"I didn't count." Joseph said with a smile, "they're not wild ducks."

"And what was your best job?" Julian asked.

"Are you thirsty? How about we find a place to have a cup of coffee?"

"That's not acceptable." Julianti waved his hand quickly, "Let's just say it here, so as not to be seen."

Joseph glanced in the corridor and found a vending machine, so he bought two bottles of mineral water and came back.

Except for the tourists, the monks and nuns in the Vatican were in a hurry and did not hang out on the road. There is another kind of pressure in this "holy place", which also makes people feel suffocated.

"Which one do you want to hear? Bloody or disgusting?" Joseph asked after taking a sip of cold water.

Julianti was so cunning that he took the opportunity of drinking water and handed over the choice to Joseph.

"Well, to protect his privacy, let's call him Richard. He's a college freshman. When he was in high school, he was popular with Bloody Mary for a while. Legend has it that bloody Mary can meet the future. Call her in front of the mirror. Three times her name will appear, sometimes she is harmless, there is only her reflection in the mirror, sometimes she is so fierce that she will force people to commit suicide, or trap the other person in the mirror, Richard is anxious about the college entrance examination For a while, so he summoned Bloody Mary and asked her questions about his future."

"And then he was stalked by Mary?" Julian asked.

"No, he's a smart boy, he knows he can't summon the evil spirit without defense, he investigates a lot of rituals to guard against evil spirits, and he has to use it every time he goes to the toilet. This makes him get obsessive-compulsive disorder, Later, he gave up personal hygiene in order to reduce toilet-related rituals, he did not bathe, cut his hair, defecated on paper towels, peed in paper cups, these are still within the scope of normal people, and his behavior became more bizarre later on.”

"Pooping on a tissue, peeing in a paper cup? You call that 'normal'?" Julianti repeated in disbelief.

"The world is so big, and there are all sorts of weirdos. Many freshmen have to live in dormitories. First, his roommates can't stand him anymore. The school also advised him to suspend school. His condition began to deteriorate at this time." Joseph took another sip of water and sighed. "He doesn't eat with his family anymore, he just sneaks downstairs in the evening, and he doesn't eat normal food, but a concoction of peanut butter, cocoa, sugar, and dulce de leche, I have to say Said that spiders are normal compared to that thing, but he thought it was clean, in order to let as much food as possible into the stomach, he tried his best to deflate himself, so he made a 'hissing' sound, He would never tuck his left arm into his sleeve, and his gait became weird, like..."

"Snake," Julian said.

"Snakes don't have legs, and he's not lying on the ground. Richard just walks around like a Japanese chick in a kimono. Then he went to a psychiatrist. The doctor advised his father to put the gun at home. Packed it up and sent him to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, his grandma and mum contacted me privately, Richard's father was not happy about it, he was an atheist, but he finally agreed to try it, after all there was no There is no other way."

"And then?" Julian asked curiously.

"He was not possessed by a demon, but he did provoke an evil spirit, but it belonged to an animal. In order to cope with his studies, Richard took the medicine of the witch doctor, which contained an animal called 'Phantom Snake', It is said that eating it can make people energetic. This kind of snake eats a lot and looks weird. It is only recorded in legends, but no live samples have been caught. It is said that it can jump, and it can jump very far, Richard De Zeng complained that taking such small steps is worse than jumping up, I asked him why he took such small steps, and guess what he answered?"

Julian was not fooled, and smiled and waited for Joseph to give the answer.

"He said he forgot how he used to walk." Joseph shook his head and smiled, "Evil spirits come in many forms, and there are animal evil spirits, not to mention that Richard ate it, and it would resent him too. As it should be."

"How did you exorcise him?"

"Burn wormwood and smoke it away. Just like vampires hate the smell of garlic, snakes also hate the smell of wormwood. Later, his mother found out that wormwood essential oil was sold in acupuncture shops, so she used it instead of wormwood. The essential oil of wormwood volatilizes quickly, and cannot produce a sufficiently stimulating smell to repel snakes. The second possession is more troublesome. He was accused of sexual harassment. Given that he had a psychiatrist's diagnosis record, he was proved to be suffering from intermittent Mentally ill, was acquitted by the court. The nature of the case he committed was different from that of John Sinclair, who assassinated Reagan, but he would also be locked up in the Elizabeth Mental Hospital for treatment because he had extremely dangerous violent tendencies. Demon, and had to convince his doctor to give him aromatherapy all the time, and was almost locked up by the doctor as a mental illness.”

Julianti laughed.

"It sounds like you're having a hard time, Priest."

"I'm not a priest, I'm just a third-rank exorcist." Joseph said, "Do you want to hear the bloody one?"

"What does the main character do?" Julian asked.

"Doctor, he was born in a family of doctors and is well-known in the local area, but he said he saw the devil in the hospital." Joseph sneered and said, "Those devils surrounded him and his colleagues, and he confessed to the priest , I hope the priest can save him, but at most the low-level priests can only listen and cannot give him guidance, and then he disappeared."

"that's all?"

"Of course it's not just that. He came to New York and became a serial killer. Hollywood made his story into a movie called 'Seven Deadly Sins'."

"I saw that movie and I thought it was a story."

"The real story is scarier than the movies, and the NYPD's archives are bigger than the Vatican's Secret Archives, only full of crime."

"Actually, I don't really believe it. Some people will really starve to death." Julian said with an unhappy face, "And they still eat pasta to death. My grandfather said that people who are hungry for a long time will suddenly eat a lot of food to die."

"If you don't know you're full, you'll keep eating." Joseph said calmly, "He had surgery on the brain of 'Fat Boy'. Do you remember how he took care of that drug dealer?"

"Oh, Jesus Christ," exclaimed Julianti. "Did you exorcise him?"

"No, it was the cop who killed him, in the movie he's called Mills, let's call him that, he actually didn't have to go to New York, because he lost his wife in that case, even if the court didn't convict him, he would be bad Thorough." Joseph said, "His wife is the most beautiful existence in the whole movie."

"What happened to Mills?"

"Alcoholism, bad temper, he was fired from the police force, living on the dole, but he is a man with a sense of justice in his bones, I let the evil spirit of the serial killer no longer haunt him, and now he is in my friend as a security guard in the parish."

"where?"

"Detroit, racial riots are happening over there." Joseph raised his BlackBerry phone, "There is also a girl who is possessed, and I want to call her to exorcise her."

"Telephone exorcism is useful?"

"Many times people need to feel that they have been exorcised before they can find confidence. The one who fights against the devil is themselves. Annalize resisted until her death, but many people let it go, let the devil control themselves, and become people in human skin. Devil."

At this moment, Joseph's cell phone rang. He held it and looked at it for a while, and his expression suddenly became very strange.

Julian didn't ask, although he was very curious.

"Did you know there is another girl in Bavaria besides Annalize?" Joseph put away his phone.

"Please tell me, Father," Julianti said humbly.

"Veronica, she desecrated the sacrament. The priest of the Orvieto Cathedral sent an email just now, and the sacrificial cake on the altar was bleeding."

"That girl named Veronica also desecrated the Holy Communion with blood?"

Joseph said nothing.

"I heard that Michelangelo drew inspiration from the murals in Orvieto Cathedral when he painted The Last Judgment."

"Yes, in a way, the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel is a second creation of Signorelli's Last Judgment."

"You understand this too?"

"I'm dating a girl from the restoration team." Julianti spread his hands pretending to be relaxed, but his tone was full of complacency.

"Orvieto is not close to the Vatican, do you think I should go?" Joseph asked.

"I don't think so, maybe it's a slap in the face." Giulianti said, "Our first protection is the Vatican."

"I want to visit the Sistine Chapel tonight, can you arrange it?"

"Of course." Julianti said, "This is the employee benefit she said, and you can continue to visit after the museum is closed."

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"Don't say it." Julian stood up eagerly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call to her."

John Hinckley Baidu knows

By the way, did Michelangelo borrow from Luke Signorelli or plagiarize?
