I'm the fourth calamity, but they call me a saint
Chapter 25 The Murderer
The decoration inside the church is as plain as its appearance.
The old wooden floors were full of scratches and dry cracks, and the white paint on the walls had turned a touch of brown over time.
There is no statue of God at the front of the church hall, only a starlight cross about two meters high standing on a high platform.
There are twenty-four portraits hanging on the surrounding walls, which are the twenty-four popes of the Twilight Church.
Other than that, there are only those benches that have been filled with people sitting on them, and nothing else is left in the entire hall.
After Li Wei and Fengzi were selected, registration ended in the morning. The nun who led them in gathered the more than thirty selected children and led the group of children to the church cafeteria for lunch.
Although the decor is plain, the food here is pretty good.
At least compared to those in the coal mine, Levi could tell that he was eating brown rice, and he could pick up vegetables with two chopsticks.
His and Fengzi's plan was simple. After being selected into the choir, they would spend the remaining month peacefully.
Try to perform well in the following training and don't make any mistakes until you enter the White Tower.
In the evening, the last few children were brought in, and a total of 40 teenagers were led by the nanny into four rows.
The entire church's priests and nuns were gathered here. The church seemed to take this matter very seriously. After a while, Bishop Twilight of the Sun Division was also pushed into the hall in a wheelchair.
Because Levi was the tallest, he was placed in the middle of the last row.
He first glanced at the clergy, but did not see the priest he met in the border city yesterday, and then turned his eyes to Bishop Twilight, who came in in a wheelchair.
This ordinary-looking bishop looked particularly old.
He was leaning in a wheelchair, wearing a black archbishop's hat on his head, his upper body wearing a clean and neat black robe with gold trim, and his lower body covered with an old tattered felt.
When looking at the children in the choir, the old man had a kind smile on his face.
In front of all the teaching staff, he first encouraged him, and by the way, he taught Twilight a lesson, and invited children who had not joined Twilight to take this opportunity to learn about the church's teachings and join the church that has been going on for nearly a thousand years. Twilight Project.
But in the end, he emphasized that this was not mandatory. Regardless of whether he was willing to join Twilight in the end, it would not affect the selection of the subsequent choir.
After saying this, he left. Obviously, there was no need for a big shot like him to be responsible for the subsequent teaching work for people like Li Wei.
The last person left to discipline the choir was the nun who brought in Levi and Fengzi.
She looked like a rather stern person, with her brows always furrowed and her eyes as sharp as a hunting vulture.
"You can call me Grandma Cheng. I will be the patriarch of all of you in the next month. No matter whether you can actually become a member of the choir in the future, you must abide by the church's disciplinary regulations and violate the regulations. Those who perform well will be punished, and those who perform well will be rewarded.”
As soon as she opens her mouth, it's like putting a silencer on every child, silencing them.
Most of the children in Yuguang District are very precocious, and they know how to please different adults, and this Granny Cheng is obviously a person who is not easy to get along with.
Later, Grandma Cheng and others arranged rooms for Li Wei and the others. Of course, the conditions here were not so superior that everyone had a single room. Instead, four people lived in a room according to age and gender.
Li Wei and Fengzi were about to separate. When they separated in the corridor, Fengzi appeared a little nervous.
She pulled Li Wei's sleeve and didn't say anything. She just glanced at him. Li Wei knew that she was a terrorist.
This little cripple has probably never lived in a four-person dormitory since she was a child. Levi gave her a look of affirmation. He lowered his head gracefully and took a deep breath. He followed the back of the girls' team and walked towards the dormitory. .
Levi then followed the four assigned people to the dormitory.
The whole room is not big, but it is enough to accommodate four one-meter-wide beds. Bedding supplies including choir uniforms have been arranged.
After the adults left, the children who stayed here also started to chat.
Li Wei is not a social phobic like Fengzi. He does not isolate himself from the group in an aloof manner, nor does he actively want to be the center of the group. He just chats from time to time, hoping to strengthen his understanding of the world among this group of children. learn.
Likewise, he also heard some interesting topics.
"Mom sent me here because the murderer in Yuguang District has become more and more rampant recently."
The youngest of the four, a boy who was about 15 years old, whispered.
His words silenced the originally cheerful and relaxed scene, and the other two big boys' eyes clearly showed nervousness.
This aroused Levi's interest, but he did not ask anything, but waited for them to expand the topic.
"The police officers in Yaoguang District don't want to deal with such troublesome matters below. I heard that the Yuguang Trade Union has reported to the parliament many times, but more than a year has passed and the murderer has not been caught. Instead, more and more people have been arrested. "Many people were killed after having their limbs chopped off, mostly young people."
A big boy on Levi's right also said that he seemed to be the most scared.
"My cousin died like this a month ago. Her right arm was cut off completely and disappeared, and the body was dumped on the roadside. My family was also worried about this, so the choir that signed me up wanted to let me I'll stay away from the church."
At this time, Levi finally asked.
"Didn't Yu Guang Guild ask someone to take care of this matter?"
The entire Sun City is under the jurisdiction of the parliament, but due to the special nature of Yuguang District, there are no main government agencies and police stations here. Instead, the Yuguang Labor Union is responsible for unified management, executing the orders of the parliament and maintaining basic public security.
Generally, when such vicious cases occur, when the police cannot be relied upon, the labor union will find a way to solve the problem.
The boy sitting opposite Levi shook his head and said.
"The union people don't have guns and can't catch the murderer. I heard that it's a monster crawling on the ground. Ordinary people have no power to fight back when facing it!"
What they said became more and more sinister, and they were obviously beginning to move in the direction of ghosts.
Although even science in this world has become so strange, and it is not strange for any monster to appear, Levi still feels that what they said later can only be regarded as rumors.
Just as the night was getting darker, the chatting was completely over, and the four people in the dormitory were preparing to rest, a boy knocked on the door and walked in.
He was wearing the black robe of the church and was not a member of the choir. He was thin and cramped and conveyed the instructions of the mammy.
"We will meet in the lobby at 6:30 tomorrow morning."
After passing the message, he bowed and carefully closed the door and left, but Levi recognized him.
This is an acquaintance.
The 10-year-old child who was begging for compensation from his mother in the coal mine two days ago, because he was the youngest, Levi still remembered his name.
Wang Xiaole.
