The layered routine of vest essence

It's almost like holding a large-scale meeting about national affairs.

Ellis subconsciously looked at Father Peter who was walking in front of him, and after getting a comforting smile from him, he led him to a seat near the window and sat down.

There were a total of seven priests in the room, and almost all of them were present except for those who followed the president and were in charge of diplomacy.

Seeing Ellis sitting down, Father Mullen looked at Father Peter sitting next to him, and continued their previous topic.

"Washing the evil on Black's body with holy water alone is ineffective. I suggest talking to his family and getting rid of it directly."

"As for George..." Father Mullen frowned, "I can feel a strange smell in his room, but I still can't find the source. There is a blank white paper in his drawer, look It sounds suspicious."

"It's better to ask the Holy See after the trial." A well-dressed priestess said. She is the only woman among the priests in this class. She spends most of her time in the treatment room, and Ellis rarely goes to see her. She asked questions and didn't know why she came here today.

"I never thought that there would be such a long-standing evil spirit in the academy with the strictest management in the Holy See." Another half-bald priest said, he is responsible for dealing with ordinary people, and it can be said that he has seen a lot of strange things However, he didn't see the existence of evil worship in the college, so it can be said that he is also responsible for dereliction of duty.

Finally, Father Peter opened his mouth and said: "Why don't we call all the disciples together for re-examination, and there are two people missing in Marlon, so it's time to reassign them."

As for why it is redistributed instead of filled, probably only he himself knows the idea.

Ellis sat at the end and hesitated to speak. He didn't want to intervene in the words of the priests, but he also felt that he shouldn't sit here and listen.

Fortunately, this embarrassment didn't last long, and several great priests decided the fate of the two hapless guys with a tacit understanding, and then turned the topic to this young man who had suffered many unreasonable disasters.

In fact, according to common sense, Ellis is already 20 years old this year, and he cannot be called a teenager, but his stagnant height and tender face make him still look young, and many priests teach him as a child. It can be said that it is loved.

"Alice, tell me, have you ever been bullied by Blake and the others?" Father Peter wanted to ask this question very much. He always felt that this kid just likes to hold back everything, and he is not good at presumptuousness on weekdays Go ask, it's easier to say it in front of everyone now.

"Actually not." Ellis raised his head in a daze, felt the gazes of the crowd on him, and lowered his head shyly, "I'm not very close to the two of them."

Hearing this answer, Father Mullen heaved a sigh of relief. He glared at Father Peter, who had nothing to say. If Ellis said that he was bullied by his subordinates, wouldn't that be implying his own inaction?

"So what do you think about your future job?"

Holding the book, Ellis seemed a little tangled, but he still said: "I want to deal with those evil cults that pollute my lord's world and protect more people."

Fortunately, in the developed areas of this country, human beings are heavily guarded, and many devils and heretics will not challenge difficult attacks; while the slums and fringe areas are mixed with good and bad people, not only are there extremely difficult heretics, but also ignorant masses who refuse to cooperate .

When Ellis said these words, many priests who hoped that he could be in charge of logistics changed their faces, as if they didn't expect this usually soft and weak boy to have such an ideal.

Because only the Great Priest is qualified to select the disciples of the gods, the disciples of the gods basically do not have the room for their own choice, so basically they follow whoever they learn and succeed in the future, and there will be no questioning at all.

Therefore, after intensive observation at that time, the purification priest Mullen who was in charge of the baptism of newborns easily took Ellis away.

But now, Ellis said his thoughts in front of many great priests, which means that he has the right to choose.

So—the last of the three disciples chosen by Father Mullen was not left.

Thinking of this reason, Father Mullen, who was short and chose to sit in the center, turned black, but he couldn't say anything serious to Ellis, who had a guilty and troubled face, and could only close his eyes and pretend to be out of sight. .

There are three priests who are linked to the field work here, one responsible for defending the upper echelons of the country, one responsible for contacting the masses, and one responsible for dealing with heresy.

After the three of them learned of Ellis' choice, they were both happy and worried. The happy thing was that they won't have to worry about no successor for the rest of their lives. What great use can Sri Lanka's small body have.

Ellis seemed to understand the hints of the priests, wandering his eyes between the priests, and finally fixed on the face of Father Peter sitting next to him.

Father Peter smiled smugly, his indifferent expression couldn't restrain his joy at all, "If that's the case, then Ellis doesn't need to be reassigned with other disciples, right?"

"In that case..." Father Goddess Elena sighed, looked at the young man who seemed to have great medical talent and said with some regret, "Wait for Ellis to come to me for a full-body examination, so that it will be convenient for Peter to formulate training plan."

This is a process that every believer who chooses to work in the field will go through. It can be said that several priests are very dedicated in this regard.

But hearing the news, Ellis was not only not in a happy mood, but even turned pale. He tugged on his sleeve and said nothing.

"What's the matter?" Elena watched his movements, felt a thump in her heart, subconsciously stood up from the chair, and walked in front of him.

Ellis sat on the chair by the window and couldn't retreat. His back was pressed against the back of the chair, and he could only watch her walking in horror.

Never doubt the sharpness of the sense of smell of those who deal with medicine, they can even find the wounded in the smoke of gunfire for treatment.

As soon as Eileen walked into his side, she smelled the faint smell of blood from Ellis' body. She subconsciously grabbed Ellis's sleeve and pulled out his wrist covered in the robe.

The bandage-wrapped wrist seemed to feel pain under the pull. Ellis' fingers in the white glove twitched twice, and a faint red color appeared on the bandage, like red plums blooming on the white cloth.

It wasn't just Elena's face that changed, all the priests present stood up, looking serious.

Father Peter, who was sitting next to him, turned red with anger before asking about the situation. His blue eyes were like a falcon looking for food, and he wanted to scan Ellis' whole body.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Elena took off the bandage, and there were densely packed small and long wounds on his arm, some of which had scabbed over, but there were also a few that were oozing blood, which looked particularly terrifying.

Seeing that there was no way to hide it, Ellis intermittently told everyone what he had encountered over the years.

"These wounds..." He looked at the blood slowly oozing from his hands, as if he was looking at something insignificant, "It appeared after I touched that piece of paper, it will not expand, and it will not heal."

"I wanted to say it, but after all, George..."

Everyone was silent and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, several priests said that they had other matters and left first. Before leaving, they told Ellis what they wanted to learn in the future, and they could still go to them .

Elena told him to go to her place to get the medicine at night, and then he also left, leaving Father Mullen, who was about to be alone, and Father Peter, who had another cub, in the room.

The two looked at each other for a while, watching Ellis skillfully wrap the bandage back on his hand, and felt a sting in his heart.

Mullen rubbed Alice's soft hair, and said with some distress: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Although the devil is in George's body, it doesn't mean we can't solve it."

Ellis pursed his lips, and said with a melancholy smile, "It's not George's fault...Once I tell you, something bad happens to him."

"And now, I'm relieved to know that he won't hurt anyone anymore."

"You child, why are you so stupid?" Maren scolded angrily. George also had a blank sheet of paper, but there were no scars on his body, which clearly showed that George and that demon were in the same boat.

He even used this kind of reason to take advantage of Ellis' kindness. Fortunately, Ellis was not too confused and did not make other more excessive contracts with the devil.

Father Peter thought for a while, and said to him with some regret: "Why don't you learn from other priests, I'm worried that your body won't be able to bear the pressure of traveling outside."

"No!" It was the first time that Alice's mood fluctuated so much, and he seemed to realize that he was overreacting, so he hurriedly said in a low voice, "I hope to find that devil through my own efforts and let him lift the curse."

"The waiting time is too hopeless..." The boy's choked up tone made the two men over fifty realize that he had endured pain for a long time, and he himself was still a child who didn't know much about the world.

The two didn't say anything more. Before everything was resolved, any comfort would be futile. Instead, they patted him on the shoulder gently, indicating that he could go back and rest first.

"I'll help you clean up the things in your room when the time comes." Father Peter sighed, "I will find a way to remove the curse for you, after all, we are the Holy See."

Seeing Alice's thin body disappear around the corner, the two priests walked back into the room.

Father Mullen was only as high as Father Peter's shoulders, but his stern face was not inferior to Peter's.

Maren spread out the white paper found in George's room on the table, and did not feel any strange smell, but when the holy water was slightly sprinkled on the paper, the paper quickly turned red from the corners, and slowly began to smell. Curl towards the center.

Subconsciously, Peter pressed his fingers on the curved part of the paper, only to feel a tingling pain in his fingers, and a thin bloody streak appeared after a while.

But the fine line did not spread out like the one on Ellis, but disappeared quickly.

"You're too reckless!" Father Mullen shouted when he saw his hands-on movement.

Peter subconsciously rubbed his fingers and said, "You said that although there were traces of evil in George's body, he didn't really find the place where the devil was hiding."

"So where is that devil going now?"

……

Mullen rubbed the entire paper into the holy water, and saw a few black symbols left in the center of the reddened and curled paper, which looked like three dots surrounded by unknown circles.

The two of them just stared at the pattern for a while, and their minds buzzed, and the murmurs that could not tell the source echoed in their minds, making them have a splitting headache.

Fortunately, both of them are experienced old priests, and their belief in the Lord can be said to be extremely firm. After silently reciting the hymn three times, the strange voice in their minds disappeared.

The two looked at each other, and said in unison: "Cthulhu?"

-

Ellis hurried all the way back to the room, sat in front of the mirror, and let out a long breath. Wen Yu's personal consciousness began to recover, and the whole person seemed much more alive.

He set the loading point before entering the door, and if he finds any loopholes, he can go back and do it again.

With so many middle-aged men and women staring at them like cubs, Wen Yu felt awkward all over his body, which almost made him unable to hold back the smile on his face.

With the idea of ​​fighting against Theodore, Wen Yu decided early on to let Ellis follow the path of the battle priest, and he had long wanted to jump ship to work under Father Peter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be running there all day long to get a sense of existence...

It's just that I didn't expect to have to check my whole body before going out to work... Wen Yu looked at the somewhat messy bandages on his hands when he was distracted, and felt that his script was heading to a place that he didn't even understand.

But if he goes there again, he will have to face the peerless and pitiful expressions of the uncles and aunts again, which is really too chilling.

Wen Yu thought about the impromptu story he made up, and felt that there should be no major loopholes, except that the people involved might be a bit miserable.

hope they're ok

Because the wounds on his body were caused by his ability, he couldn't tell the truth, so he pushed the blame on George. Anyway, according to the value of this child, he probably won't die if he dies. At most, he will be locked up and purified. A new god, this should be quite worthy of attention for a dominant Holy See.

The heretics that the Holy See usually faces are mainly vampires and werewolves, as well as some devils and bastards emerging from hell. It can be said that the difficulty is not high, but you must be vigilant at all times.

As a universal weapon, holy water has a large storage capacity, but each priest's own ability is not very strong, and more is to deal with the enemy by attaching the power of faith to the cross or the Bible.

Maybe it is possible to find the enemy with years of experience, but if you change to a higher-level demon, you will inevitably encounter a lot of setbacks.

——This may also be one of the reasons why the blood clan can still fight arrogantly all over the street at this time without being wiped out.

Wen Yu left unpurified abilities on that piece of paper, and randomly made up a pattern that didn't look like a good thing. As long as the priests wanted to study this piece of paper, it was easy for them to put their identities on the paper. It was drawn out, and by the way, the injuries on Ellis' body and the unspeakable reasons were brought in.

Everything is so logical, except that poor George has suddenly become a follower of evil gods.

Anyway, no one would listen even if he clamored that he was not a believer of an evil god. In a place like the Holy See, which is almost harsh on beliefs, as long as he is stained with black, it can be said that there is no hope of being cleansed.

It can be said that everyone knows that Ellis is an orphan, but so far no one who claims to be his parents has come to look for him, as if Ellis is really a child bestowed by heaven. While adding a lot of legend, it also gave him a lot of room to fabricate the background.

For example, he could feel the ominous atmosphere since he was a child, and if he mentioned that he had witnessed the battle of heresy, those priests who were born with filters for him would make up for Ellis that he didn't want to describe the horrible The reason for the report of the breath of the devil, and even afraid to bring up his sad things and change the subject.

Otherwise, if they asked about the details, such as where the bandages Ellis used every day came from, or why there was no blood stain found in his room, etc., Wen Yu might have to read the file and start over.

Wen Yu has always been very good at fishing in troubled waters and muddling through.

After smoothing out the poor little script in his hand, Wen Yu re-checked the items in the room and tidied up all the things that should be packed. After all, with Ellis' personality, it is impossible to wait until Father Peter comes to carry his luggage. Yes, so Wen Yu had better pack up in advance, and take everything together before going to Elena.

Wen Yu quickly went to the cafeteria to finish his dinner, and as usual received a super-sized meal with extra care from the staff, Wen Yu immediately went to Elena's room.

He couldn't directly remove the wounds on his body, but simply covered it with a layer of illusion. If he didn't check carefully, it would be easy to cover it up. If he had to check his whole body, he would read the file and think of a reason.

Priests in this era are different from nuns. Nuns must maintain their chastity in order to serve the Lord, while female priests can marry and have children, and the children can also be raised as the next disciples, and even the children raised in this way will have better qualifications .

Most of the reasons for the lack of Goddesses are the inadequate allocation of educational resources and the weakness of their own strength. Otherwise, if they are successfully promoted, they will still be very popular.

Father Elena is the only daughter of a wealthy family. She has a foundation that ordinary people cannot reach since she was a child. contribute.

It's a pity that once her daughter died on the way out of the field, and was nailed to death by a werewolf who provoked trouble in front of the family she was treating.

This dealt a huge blow to her. She went crazy several times and wanted to rush to seek revenge on that werewolf, and she also resented the family her daughter rescued.Until she discovered that the three daughters of that family were all killed or taken away by heretics, and the family was destroyed.

Empathy is the best catalyst for hatred.Since then, it has been her long-cherished wish in this life to eradicate all heresies.

In order to prevent more unnecessary casualties, she proposed to the Holy See that every clergyman who joined the fight against heresy should come to her for a medical examination in advance, and regularly purify himself, and if something happens, it can be eradicated as soon as possible.

Therefore, in her heart, Alice has already been sentenced to death—this kind of injured body cannot overcome the powerful danger from the outside world, so it is better to follow her to improve her medical skills.

The entire Vatican occupies the size of a small village, and the places where disciples can move are only in one corner, and different priests rarely meet each other, not to mention that Ellis has to cross half of the Vatican to go to Elena's room.

Wen Yu picked up a large bag of things he had packed in the wind, took advantage of no one to see, and walked quickly to the room where Father Peter worked, and chose not to carry it until he reached the door.

Wen Yu didn't refute Father Peter's seemingly reproachful but distressed words, and directly bid farewell to Father Peter and walked towards Elena.

Elena's family is well-off and she rarely works outside, so many rooms on her side have been rebuilt to look neat and refined.

The faint scent of medicine lingers in the room, and the wiped clean medical equipment is arranged in sequence. What is most inconsistent with the whole room is that there are many messy files on the central table. buried.

When Wen Yu first arrived, she was immersed in writing something in the pile of files.

"Father Elena." He knocked on the open door and stood there waiting.

Elena put down the documents in her hand, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Come in."

Wen Yu lowered his head and stood in front of the table. From this angle, he could slightly see the document marked "Curse" in Elena's hand. It seemed that he was still worried about his body.

Treating him so well, he doesn't even have the heart to cheat...

Wen Yu sighed in his heart, and saved a file again.

"Take off your clothes first, just take off your top." Elena washed her hands from the sink next to her, took out a bag of medical gloves, and said as she carried them.

"There is a small bed next to it, you can lie on it first."

The priest treated his body equally, and there was no embarrassment between the two of them. Ellis quickly walked to the bedside.

He took off the soft robe, carefully folded it and placed it on the stool at the foot of the bed, revealing his thinner and slender waist compared to ordinary people. His pale skin touched the slightly cold skin, making him tremble slightly.

Elena measured his heart rate with a stethoscope and fiddled with a bunch of instruments.Using a skill unique to doctors since ancient times, he wrote on the document in a handwriting that normal people would never understand.

Elena didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and he didn't hesitate to do what he was asked to do, which can be said to make Elena very happy.

After all, as a female doctor living in an environment where most people are of the opposite sex, every time she encounters awkward male patients who seem to think that she will plot something wrong, she simply wants to punch them.

"No wonder Peter and the others like you so much." Elena joked while writing the report, "If you're willing to be a logistics supporter, I'm also willing to teach you medical knowledge."

Ellis had just drank a cup of potion that was mixed with holy water and something, and his mouth was filled with a bitter and indescribably sour smell. Hearing Elena's words, he trembled subconsciously, his face Show an apologetic smile.

Because the bandage on his hand had been discovered, he didn't hide it any more, honestly, he was poured a few bottles of potions that were said to have a healing effect, and he stared at his arm in a daze.

The bandage that was originally stained with blood was unwrapped by Elena, and a new bandage that was said to be special was tied on him, and he was told to review it in three days.

Alice felt the slight coolness from his arms, and looked at Elena with complicated eyes for a while.

Elena seemed to feel something, she put down her pen and turned her head to ask him, "Is there any discomfort? The rest of your body is fine. There is nothing to treat. You don't need to worry about it. Just exercise more in the future." gone."

"No." The brown-haired boy shook his head lightly, his handsome face lost the original smile, and looked a little sad, "I just remembered something..."

Elena thought he was thinking of that terrifying demon, she stood up and gave the boy a gentle hug, and softly comforted him: "You will be fine with us, please trust the Holy See, The Lord will lead us to glory."

Elena originally wanted to let go of her hand quickly, but she suddenly noticed that there was a faint wet feeling on her shoulders. She turned her head slightly and saw that this usually strong and optimistic boy was crying silently.

There was silence for a while, since Eileen lost her child a few years ago, she has never been so close to the younger generation. She looked at the boy who was only a section taller than her, and couldn't help but rub his fluffy soft hair again .

"Mother……"

Ellis muttered in a very low voice, seemingly immersed in sadness and unable to extricate himself.

But Elena still heard the young man's whisper, and the soft part of her heart seemed to be touched by something, and suddenly softened into a puddle of water.

If her daughter is still alive, she should be a little older than Ellis now, not to mention that this poor child has never felt the love of her parents...

"Mother is here, my poor child." She thought in her heart, and said it inadvertently.

Ellis froze, and slowly backed out of her arms, as if he had done something wrong.

"You heard that..."

With his hands tucked behind him, he looked like an ostrich with its head drooping.

Elena gave him a hug again, and said with a gentle voice unique to women: "Don't be afraid, my child, the Lord will allow you to find happiness."

Alice wrapped her trembling hands silently around her, and called out with the nostalgic voice of a baby bird calling its mother: "Mom..."
