The layered routine of vest essence

so tired……

Why is it so boring to eat, sleep and fight werewolves all day long? How about, how about going to sleep?

It would be great if the noble vampires could also dream, surely the night would not be boring——

Go back and sleep... This boring day should be over.

Watching the dazed Theodore go away, the warm brown-haired priest evoked a meaningful smile, turned and walked into the light and shadow.

He took off the cap of his cloak, the sun was dancing in his hair, and for a moment his whole body seemed to melt in the sun.

……

All the saints and priests and the surrounding residents gather in the cathedral to be baptized and purified.People lined up to recite the prayers they had memorized, drank the holy water distributed by the Holy See, and each of them could take a piece of dried meat home. Many poor people even went back to line up after receiving the food, trying to occupy it again. Some.

Ellis, who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be reciting the hymn, didn't show up, and was quickly noticed by everyone. Even if a priest was changed on the spot, everyone still felt that something was missing.

William has become acquainted with Ellis and others since the explosion, and he understands that it is impossible for this seemingly gentle but stubborn boy to miss such an important event, not to mention that he is also the one in charge of hosting.

Reflecting carefully on the demanding schedule that Ellis had fixed to, William knew that today he would be there.

Thinking of a certain possibility, his face turned pale, his breathing became short, and he quickly said to others: "Quick, go find Father Ellis!"

"He might as well..."

Thinking of Elena who has not been heard from so far, everyone can't help but panic. Father Elena is unarmed. Fortunately, if Ellis, who is extremely powerful in combat, is taken away, other people in their Holy See may also be taken away at any time. encountered danger.

You must know that except for the combat priest who is physically fit, the rest of the clergy are magicians whose physical strength is no match for a goose.

In the end, it was Father Peter who stopped the panic. His eyes that implied coercion swept across the chaos, handed over the matter of purification to another priest, and then said to William and several other disciples: "Follow me Look for clues in Reese's residence, I understand his temperament, he will never leave the room if nothing happens."

"He could only have disappeared on the way from his room to the church in the morning!"

As if they had found the backbone, a group of people walked towards Ellis' residence in a mighty manner. Everyone's face was full of worry that couldn't go away. It happened so fast that no one could react, but there seemed to be something Conspiracy has shrouded their heads.

In order to prevent ambushes around them, they entered the yard belonging to Ellis together, and each of them held a sharp weapon against foreign enemies in their hands.

This is a small square courtyard, which is divided into two parts by the not-so-big house as the boundary.

There are many evergreen flowers planted in the front row, as well as some seasonal fruits and vegetables. The faint scent of flowers permeates the air, which makes people feel refreshed; a small plastic shed is built in the back, and there are several meat dishes in it. The small dry basin is almost empty.

Seeing the strange breath approaching, several wild cats rushed out of the shed at a very fast speed. One of the female cats who had just given birth was still holding her cub in her mouth, and glanced faintly at the menacing crowd.

Seeing that there are still creatures staying here, everyone gradually breathed a sigh of relief. These small animals are used to wandering, and they are usually very vigilant. It can be said that except for Ellis, who is barely half the owner, everyone else is worthy of vigilance in their eyes. Object, which also happens to mean that no other outsiders will enter the house while Ellis is away.

William also said with emotion: "As expected of Ellis... he is still helping small animals. I have never seen him buy any clothes for himself. It seems that he always wears them issued by the Holy See."

Father Peter glanced at him lightly, and walked into the room first: "In fact, these wild cats and dogs often have many germs on their bodies, and even bring many diseases to people, making us more miserable."

Is this satirizing Ellis for keeping feral cats?

Unaware of the conflict between the master and apprentice, William shut up and followed behind him, watching Father Peter kick open the locked wooden door with his brute force.

Walking into the room, what greeted the eyes was a broken full-length mirror. The mirror surface was split from top to bottom, as if multiple transparent triangular plates were spliced ​​together, but no glass shards fell to the ground.

Father Peter raised his fist and stroked the mirror with a pensive expression, "It's not a crack caused by the blow, but it's a bit like the mirror couldn't withstand the external pressure and shattered on its own, could it be—— really those despicable heretics Touched the inside of the Holy See?"

Everyone spread out in this small room, searching and lamenting the cleanliness of Ellis' life.

"Come and take a look!" A disciple stood in front of the wardrobe, and the heavy mahogany wardrobe was opened, revealing a few clothes and a portrait pasted inside the wardrobe.

Everyone took a step back and watched as Father Peter took out all the clothes from the closet, revealing the full picture of the portrait.

This portrait is the same size as the calendar hanging in their room, but except for a strange pattern in the center, the other places are all blank.

But this pattern—the point where three unknown circles fit together—shocked Father Peter.

Ever since Ellis confessed his experience, the blank paper they found in George's room became the only clue to this devil, or the evil god, but no matter how they interrogated him over the years, George kept silent about the evil god who bewitched him At one point, he even wanted to end all traces by committing suicide.

When everyone included this matter in the ranks of unsolved mysteries, only Peter and Elena still did not relax their pursuit of this matter. There is still the curse of the evil god on the earth.

But now...

Father Peter's face was dark, and he poured the holy water he carried on the scroll without hesitation.

Like all the strange phenomena, the transparent and colorless holy water is splashed on the white paper, showing an ink-like effect. Except for the weird pattern left in the center, the rest of the place is slowly spread by black.

The pattern is even glowing.

The black on both sides is like two incompatible substances, entangled with each other with the white paper as the battlefield. It didn't take long for the black in other places to fade away, leaving a piece of pure white.

The surrounding onlookers were dumbfounded.

"Is this... magic?" A little disciple said tremblingly. He had never seen the phenomenon that holy water could not dispel evil.

Father Peter, who had never slackened his exercise in these years, seemed to be more than ten years old for a moment. He reached out and took off the portrait and threw it on the ground.

The finger had the same reaction as when it touched the white paper last time, and was scratched with bloodstains, but this time it did not heal as well as last time, which shows the energy gap between the two papers.

"Go and inform the other great priests and His Excellency the President." Peter felt that he was extremely calm now, as if his mind had been pulled out of his body, and he looked at the world from a strange angle, "Alice, he...betrayed the Lord and killed His leader—Father Elena."

The mirror in the room shattered into pieces with a "crash", and William's heart was pounding. He turned his head and looked at the only shadow in the room that was not illuminated by the light, trembling all over.

……

Ellis found a booth at random and sat down, tasting the stewed potato and cutlet served to him by the shopkeeper.

Although he is 24 years old, he has lived like an ascetic monk for many years, so he has never bought food for himself from the outside world, and occasionally spends his salary just to buy a place where stray cats and dogs can live, or to go to relief. The poor people who he saw in his dreams led extremely miserable lives.

The stewed potatoes seem to be stained with the smell of meat, and they melt in the mouth without leaving a trace.

He seemed to be savoring some peerless delicacy, chewing every bite at a very slow speed, and then swallowing slowly.

The old woman who opened the shop was wearing an apron that was not very clean. Seeing the only customer in the shop with her head down, she was eating very slowly. Seeing that the soup was almost cold and there was still more than half of it left, she couldn't help but leaned over and asked: " Is it because I didn’t cook it well?”

"No." Ellis swallowed the potato in his mouth, "It's so delicious that I want to eat it slowly."

"This is... the best potato steak stew I've ever eaten." The honey-like eyes of the brown-haired young man were full of satisfaction. At this time, he was just a diner who relaxed and ate, not the noble purification of the Holy See. priest.

After receiving such praise, the old woman said happily, "Then do you want me to reheat it for you? It won't taste good when it's cold."

Ellis stood up, wiped his mouth with a tissue on the table, and said, "No need, it's almost time."

"really tasty."

The old lady happily put away the bowl, and shouted to Ellis' back: "From then on, you can come here often, our family has always opened a store here!"

Ellis didn't look back, he waved his hand and said, "I will definitely come when I have a chance in the future."

He took a deep breath, put back his hood, and walked towards the cathedral in the center of the Holy See with his head down.

-

Because Ellis has several roles, he is not only the purification priest in charge of field work, but also in charge of Elena's medical research, and occasionally plays a guest role as Father Mullen to bless the newborn...

It can be said that he is the only full-time priest in the Holy See, and he is also the target that many disciples want to follow.

His betrayal can be said to be the most unexpected and horrifying news for the Holy See. Therefore, when Father Mullen gave the verdict, everyone's first reaction was negative, and they even began to question Mullen's madness because of Elena's disappearance. Random testimonials.

It's just that facing the most naked and evil portrait that was brought to the cathedral by Father Peter, everyone's questioning became so difficult that people subconsciously thought of "framing" or "framing".

Fortunately, not everyone was so indecisive. Under the notice of some personnel, the president still sent an armed force to the Holy See, as if he was about to face some prehistoric monster, and even put on body armor.

"How are you sure he'll come back?" someone asked.

Father Peter glanced in the direction of Ellis' room and said, "He has other purposes...if he still has a conscience."

As if to confirm their words, a figure appeared between the huge wooden doors of the cathedral, wearing a gray cloak, and showing a faint familiar smile to everyone.

"Are they all here?"
