Reborn Exorcist

Roland's words eased Louis' heavy heart for a long time.But other than that, Louis still feels bad.The wound on his body has begun to heal automatically, but the pain is still there.His clothes had been ripped into a heap of rags hanging around him, his overcoat had been thrown away early in the battle, and now he was shivering.

"Is it cold?" Roland asked with concern.He wanted to maintain the posture he had just hugged Louis, but Louis pushed him away and stood up. "I want to look outside," Louis murmured, walking away with arms folded.

The building they were in was out of place in the town.This is a clock tower made of stone. Louis stood on it and looked down, and saw that there were relatively low wooden houses all around.He recognized it as a bell tower used by monks, and deduced from this that it had once been a normal town.Now it's dead.Although there are demons walking on the roads and climbing on the walls of the houses, these creatures only make the place more eerie.

"Don't worry. They don't dare to disturb us, and they don't dare to touch those corpses again." Roland walked over and put his coat on Louis - although it had been torn by his wings and bone spurs.He was quiet for a while. "I'm sorry for the deaths of other exorcists."

After thinking for a moment, Louis decided to make a concession. "It's not you who killed them. I can't help being angry with you, but I also know that you are not the object of my hatred." Louis turned to look at Roland.The other party's appearance has changed back to "human form", and Louis couldn't help blinking when he saw it.

Noticing Louis' teasing expression, Roland coughed and explained, "My appearance as a demon may scare you."

"No, I won't. I've seen something scarier and more disgusting than what you look like." Louis was not polite.Before Roland could speak, he waved his hand and said, "But I don't like seeing you like that either. Just face me as a human being. As an ordinary man, I like you, but as a Exorcist, I need to attack the demons."

"I understand." Roland smiled helplessly, and pulled Louis towards him. "We can't stay on the top of the bell tower all the time. It's very windy at night and it will freeze you. Let's go down first."

There are rooms where monks live in the bell tower. Although the building has long been empty, it is surprisingly clean inside. "Others lived here before," Roland explained.

"Not 'people'. Your brother lives here?" Louis looked around.He knew that there used to be monks who lived here and practiced penance, but now there is no trace of those people staying there.

The life of a monk is much harder than that of an exorcist, and the only thing worth money in the residence is the cross.But now the cross is gone.Around him was a four-poster bed with heavy ornate hangings, leather sofas, mahogany furniture, and a brand-new gramophone.Louis could even imagine how that guy caught humans outside to suck blood, and then sat on the sofa and listened to melodious music for a nap.

"Indeed." Roland didn't feel embarrassed, and still maintained his usual demeanor.He pulled Louis to sit on the sofa together. "I know you have a lot to ask..."

"Who is that guy, and who is your father? This group of vampires occupied a small town to slaughter exorcists. Is it to provoke the church? Or is the Lord of Hell planning to start a war again, and this is the warm-up?"

Facing a series of questions, Roland couldn't hold back his smile. "Dear Louie, you have too many questions."

"There is no need to be polite between us." Louis smiled and said in a serious tone: "I remember you trying to abduct me to the demon camp. If you hide something from me, then I can't trust you right now. I Would rather go out and freeze to death and be torn to pieces by other demons than be in a room with you."

"You're threatening me, Louis. It's not good—very bad." Roland grabbed Louis' wrist, leaned forward and kissed him.Louis didn't struggle, but he didn't respond either, he just stared at him coldly.

They confront each other by kissing, and finally Roland is defeated. "The guy who hurt you last time... was my father. The guy who hurt you just now is also the son of that guy, but his mother is a pure blood-sucking demon, and she was born more than 100 years later than me."

"Oh!" Louis exclaimed exaggeratedly, but his expression was not surprised. "You are the son of one of the seven monarchs. This really surprised me! Well, I guessed it a long time ago. After all, there are not many people who can make that subordinate merciful."

Roland smiled, then locked his brows. "But our relationship is not like father and son in essence, and we have only met a few times. I was brought up by my mother, and she has a noble status. Even if someone points at me, a child of unknown origin, but All outwardly respectful of me. My mother was the problem. She was a devout Catholic and as you can imagine, she was heartbroken with guilt when she realized her son had demonic blood in his veins."

"I'm sorry to hear that. But she held on strong, didn't she?" Louis sat next to Roland, holding Roland's hand at the moment.

"She must have contemplated suicide, but she decided to live to atone for her sins. She invited monks back to the family to perform all kinds of weird rituals, and then sent me to the monastery to try to convert me there."

"Are you going to do asceticism?" Louis asked with interest.

"Of course not. My mother's family had no shortage of money, and she wouldn't want me to suffer. At first she let me stay and study in the chapel near the castle, but you know, the clergy there are stiff and respectful to me. I stayed there for more than a month, and the most serious nuns learned how to disguise themselves as a statue."

Louis couldn't help laughing twice.Roland leaned over and kissed him.Louis glanced at his mouth, but didn't look away.

"After that, I was sent to the bishop. I saw a lot of dirty things in that majestic and magnificent cathedral, underground transactions, power struggles, private child molestation. Due to the high status of the family, I did not encounter What trouble, but these things are disgusting just to look at."

"Did they make you not want to be human?" Louis couldn't help but squeezed Roland's hand and asked loudly.

"They make me want to overthrow the church." Roland said in a low voice, "You should know that at that time, the church even held the highest power in the country, and the king would bow his head in front of them. They seemed to regard themselves as gods, immersed in I have no reason to believe in God if it is God's will that they do so."

"I understand." Louis noticed that Roland was a little depressed, but he didn't know how to comfort him.In the past, when he himself was in a low mood, he would find other exorcists to fight or go out to kill some demons, but this method obviously cannot be recommended to the other party.He gritted his teeth. "If the church makes wrong choices, then stay away from them! If the clergy make serious mistakes, then condemn them! As long as you know what is right is enough! I am a selfish guy, but I still believe in God and the light, because when I was confused and vulnerable, God guided me, and the light forgave me and accepted me. So now I am trying to be a qualified person as you can see Exorcist."

"You are already an excellent exorcist." Roland turned to face Louis.He stared at the other person's face, a little confused. "Louis, you are not a firm stand...don't rush to refute, like now, you have fallen in love with a demon. But you are terribly stubborn on certain things, and you simply won't budge. And when you The eyes of other people are always shining and charming when they solve problems and argue with me for God. I think there is no shame in you for falling in love with demons, because I was attracted to you long before that. Even , because of you, I realized that some of the claims in the Bible couldn’t be more true.”

Louis blushed.He realized that Roland was confessing to himself.The other party's voice was not as calm and calm as usual, but a little excited; this made him realize that the other party really cherished him, and he was relieved.He joked: "I'm glad I saved a half-demon who had stumbled."

Roland reached over, brushed Louis' blond hair back, and stroked the side of Louis's face. "But I don't fully agree with the content in the Bible, for example, homosexuality. The Catholic Church punished homosexuals severely hundreds of years ago, but these guys are also playing child molestation behind their backs. America is a young and vibrant country. , you live here, you should not abide by the terms."

Louis nodded, sighing.Falling in love with Roland made him feel deeply guilty. "I'm not against homosexuality. God is against it, so I can't say yes. I bet most devout Christians would agree that homosexuality is wrong. It's not sinful, but it's wrong."

"But God wants his people to maintain themselves and live happily." Roland argued with Louis in a gentle tone: "Don't use the destruction of Sodom as an example, it was not because of homosexual love, but because of the lack of desire | Temperance. Don’t forget, the Bible was written by human beings, but homosexuality was created by nature...God created this environment for all creatures to reproduce and develop, and let everything go with its own flow. In short, it is natural for us to be together.”

Louis stared at Roland, pursing his lips unconvinced. "You know the Bible well!"

"Of course, I spent a lot of time in church. Although I tried to forget them, some words, some thoughts are imprinted on my mind, and I can't get rid of them."

"That is the power of God." Louis breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood became clear.Looking up, he found that Roland was looking at him with concern. "what happened?"

"Louis, I'm worried about you." Roland said sincerely, taking Louis's hands together and holding them in his palms.

"There's nothing to worry about. In fact, you're the one to worry about because I just made you say something you shouldn't."

"Your companions have passed away, I know you are very sad." Roland raised Louis' hand and kissed the back of his hand. "I want to do something to comfort you."

Louis rolled his eyes a few times. "Will this consolation last long?"

Roland showed a mysterious smile. "Yes, but how long is up to you."

"Oh. Then answer my other questions first."

Roland sighed resignedly. "My 'brother' has been in control of this town for more than ten years. During the day, they look like a group of normal humans who don't like to leave the house; at night, they are completely active. You guessed it, they want to To start the war again, start on the American continent."

Louis frowned. "Why not Europe?"

"Because the United States has only been established recently, it is relatively naive."

"The power of the church is not strong enough." Louis snorted coldly.

"With you here, the power of the church will not be weak. Alright, let's do something interesting." Roland stood up and motioned for Louis to follow him.Louis watched the other party start the phonograph, selected soothing music, and guessed what the other party was going to do.

——Until Roland pushed him down on the bed.
