Reborn Exorcist

Louis insisted on leaving immediately.Roland advised him to stay and recuperate for a few days, but was completely ignored.Louis jumped out of bed and put on his clothes and black robe, gasping for breath from his back injury.

Roland had no choice but to compromise. "Don't move around, so as not to hurt the wound. I will take care of everything." He quickly called someone to pack the luggage and harness the carriage.Half an hour later, they were already sitting in the carriage heading out of the city.

Louis kept looking out the window.He was distraught, not just about going back to that family with someone he hated, and the misfortune that could happen to Jason, but also because of the man next to him.He had no experience in love at all, and Roland's confession caught him off guard.

There is still a long time before I get home, and maybe during this time, I can solve a troublesome matter first.Lewis thought optimistically. "I really don't understand why you are interested in me. We have only known each other for more than half a month."

"Yes, but the first time I saw you was not in that tavern." Roland replied: "You came to the south last winter, and I met you at that time. You performed an exorcism ceremony for an arms manufacturer."

Louis thought about it. "That's true. I really don't want to help him at all. I hate speculators the most. These guys seem to be in a neutral position, but they actually make a lot of money. They are all doing things for tigers. Besides, he has no love for God." Respect. You know, he didn't send a letter to the church at all, he recognized me from the clothes on the street and entangled me."

Roland looked at Louis and smiled. "But you still helped him when he was cornered. I heard that his huge house was going to be a haunted house."

"That's true. This is the age of demons. In addition, those who were indirectly killed by him have not rested in peace, wandering around the world, intending to take revenge. That exorcism took me a lot of time. The number is a serious problem, he The damn house is too big and has a strange structure. I pushed open the door to the outside more than once, and almost fell from the third floor."

Roland shrugged. "The businessman wanted to be an artist, so he designed all the houses himself. Unfortunately, he really didn't have the talent. I know it puts you in a lot of trouble, or you wouldn't have robbed him of five thousand dollars."

"I gave money to homeless shelters and orphanages, and I didn't leave a cent! People in the church don't greedy people's money." Louis immediately defended subconsciously, and then realized something was wrong: "You monitor I?"

"I saw it by accident. Remember the tower opposite the merchant's house?"

"Remember. That building is really a bit shabby in comparison. The only advantage is that it uses a lot of thick stones."

"That's where I live in winter. It's very warm. I saw you across the way and heard the merchant's shouts."

Louis nodded. "So you've been paying attention to me since then, why?"

Roland smiled, flipped through the notes that he barely left his hand, and handed them to Louis.

Louis took it and stared blankly at the content on the paper.It was a drawing, sketched in pencil and overpainted with drier paint.The man in the painting is holding a silver cross aloft, and his blond hair is blown up by a wind from nowhere.His eyes were bright, and he was brave and fearless.Louis could barely recognize it was himself.

Roland paid close attention to the changes in Louis' expression. "It was this scene that made me interested in the life of an exorcist, and started to travel and collect materials for this idea. At the beginning, I didn't have any hope of finding you. I just wanted to find a single exorcist on the road Teacher, walking with each other, but there are people around them. Later, I met you. I missed you for a long time, and you are so... cute."

Louis shook his head and handed the notebook to Roland. "You are a good person, but I have a bad character."

"I do not mind."

"But I don't mind. I plan to find a gentle and kind girl in the future." Louis looked out the window.They were out of town, and to their left was a continuous stretch of forest, separated from the road by barbed wire. "I will not interfere with other people's preferences, but my personal position will not change. I will never like men."

Roland didn't answer.However, when the carriage continued to move forward for a few minutes, he suddenly took action.He hugged Louis' shoulders forcefully, pressed him against the inner wall of the car, and kissed passionately.

The unexpected kiss blanked Louis' mind for a few seconds.He had to admit that the feeling of being kissed by a man wasn't that bad—maybe it was because of Roland's sense of proportion, but he didn't intend to enjoy the comfort.Louis struggled unremittingly, and was surprised to find in the process that Roland's strength was beyond his imagination.Although Roland was taller than him, for God's sake, he was a trained exorcist!

Roland finally let go of Louis.They gasped, looking into each other's eyes.Roland spoke first. "If it was in the past, when you encountered such a thing, you would definitely throw the other party out of the carriage immediately, right?"

Louis stared at him coldly. "No. I'll beat you up before throwing it out."

Roland tidied Louis' clothes that had become messy due to struggle, and said in a cheerful tone: "But you didn't. Isn't this a change? Don't talk too hard. I have a hunch that we will be together in the future of."

"I also have a hunch that in the future you will be hurt by my mistake because of your rudeness." Louis immediately made a decision: "I will explain to the church that I already have a believer as a partner. Just report to the church However, I will not be blamed if you are 'injured on duty'."

Although Louis was furious, he didn't do anything rough to Roland.Roland was very happy.The atmosphere in the carriage can be said to be very peaceful.

At the same time, the carriage that passed them just now stopped.A tall creature covered in pitch-black hair pulled the carriage driver off the carriage and pushed it against the barbed wire.The wire used to weave the net was thick enough to harm no one, but the creature was so powerful and fast that the man's body was divided into pieces of broken flesh by the wire.

The distance is too far.Louis couldn't hear the chewing sound belonging to the beast in the rear.

This is indeed an age of demons.

***

Louis didn't see Douglas when he entered the church.His shoulders slumped instantly—he knew he was going to the confessional again.

Louis didn't like the confessional.There, he will have to kneel on the cold floor in the almost dark room, the only light shining on the statue of the Virgin in front of him.Douglas stood behind him, giving a stern lecture.

like now.

"Converting an insensitive arms dealer, getting him to donate to charity - you can make such a good deed. At first I couldn't believe it, but another letter made me suddenly realize." Douglas unfolded the two letters in his hand, the letter paper Shaking loudly. "You actually withheld the letters sent to the church by the public. One was a thank you from a charity organization, and the other was a complaint that you had slapped someone more than a dozen times. When I told you the method of educating others, I said, 'Forcing others Doing good' this one?"

"I don't like dealing with speculators." Louis said coldly with his head down.

"The gods love the world and are impartial." A rigid voice came from behind.Although Louis couldn't see the other party's expression, he could guess that Douglas' eyes must be full of blame. "Louis, you have to learn to do things for justice and light wholeheartedly like a priest."

"But justice and light can't influence that kind of person, only fists can." Louis complained in a low voice, quietly rubbed his sore knees, and slowly stood up.He turned around slowly, faced the man who was regarded as his father and brother, and said seriously: "You know? You are always so rigid and strict, and you are so boring. I am grateful for everything you have done for me, but when I was taught and punished by you in the past , I often feel that there is nothing to love in life.”

The pious and serious man gave Louis a deep look, as if surprised; then he smiled. "Before you commit suicide, don't forget to come to me and sign an agreement to donate all your property to the church. I heard that you have hidden a lot of dangerous but useful things for exorcists? It would be a pity if you just left them unused gone."

Louis stared dumbfounded at the man in the black robe in front of him, unable to utter a single word.

"Don't be so surprised, that's what you're supposed to be doing. As someone who's gifted but not devout, you need to give more to make sure you get to heaven. Learn to be grateful, Louie. If I don't You regard it as a close relative, and you will never help you like this."

Louis murmured, "Thank you ass."

Douglas turned a deaf ear.He turned on the light and led Louis out of the small room. "I'm looking for a new partner for you. Your fellow exorcists have found an old gentleman in New York State, hale and hearty, and faithful to God. He'll be here after Christmas. "

Louis quietly rolled his eyes.To be blamed again, he thought. "I already have a partner, and that's what I came to talk to you about."

Douglas turned sharply, the hem of his long clerical robe fluttering. "who?"

"A southerner. Don't make that look. Of course I don't like southerners! He found me. Actually, I don't know him very well."

"You can't trust others so easily. We must be cautious about bright careers." Douglas was very serious. "I'll help you find out about this person."

"How can you say that!" Louis shouted loudly, his tone a little excited: "I will not doubt my partner, let alone check his private affairs behind his back!" He suddenly hugged the serious man tightly. The man whispered in the ear of the other party: "It's not enough to investigate him, you have to investigate his family and servants as well."

"Why so careful? There's no one else around."

"The devil is not necessarily."

Douglas sighed helplessly. "I'll give you an answer as soon as possible. Before that, be careful with that person. It's not peaceful recently."

"When will it be peaceful?" Louis asked back, "I'm going back to the most uneasy place now. That couple is more annoying than any demon."

But things have changed.When Louis walked into the house, he was surprised to see Suzie smile at him, friendly and warm, just like when she was hooking up boys outside.And Old John also ignored him, not being sarcastic as usual.

Is it because of the holidays?Louis guessed, taking off his boots.He was about to go to the living room to warm himself by the fire, but Suzie held him back.

"My future sister-in-law is in there," whispered the girl. "Don't be rude to her, she's the governor's daughter."

I see.Louis understood, and nodded perfunctorily.The title reminded him of an unhappy past life.Besides, he didn't think the governor's daughter would be any better than the kind girl who accompanied Jason in the previous life.If necessary, he'll step in to get things back on track.

He walked into the living room and immediately jumped back a step like an electric shock.It was warm in the living room, but Louis felt icy cold.

The governor's daughter sat upright on the sofa.Her red hair was coiled high on the top of her head, her snow-white skin was warmed orange by the fire in the fireplace, and her golden eyes, which were very different from ordinary people, smiled and shone dazzlingly.

She was exactly the same as what Louis had seen in his previous life.This time, she is no longer that guy's "wife" and has come here!

Jason stood up and introduced excitedly: "This is Anna. Anna, this is Louis, my brother."

Anna turned her head and smiled proudly: "Oh, so you are Louis. I heard that you are an exorcist, right?"
