Confess [Black Carnival of Cassendra]

Constantine didn't make any response, nor did he look at the little girl beside him. He just calmly held her hand and walked towards the door of the church step by step.

When she realized this, Loria showed some resistance in her footsteps, even though she seldom disobeyed Constantine.

——After all, in her eyes, this man is almost like an existence close to "God".Everything he did seemed to be right, she adored him, looked up to him, even...admired him.Although she can only listen to him passing the voice from the gods like the humblest believer.

Probably because he felt Loria's resistance, Constantine temporarily stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and cast his unwavering gaze on the girl.He didn't say anything, just stood there like a statue, watching her quietly, as if waiting for her explanation.

The air in the church at night was very cold, even colder than outside.Under Constantine's gaze, Loria even felt a little flustered for a moment.

"I..." Her eyes rolled vainly, as if she wanted to dodge, but she still wanted to look at that person. After a long time, she faltered and said: "I don't want to go back."

"You shouldn't be here," Constantine said.

His tone was very calm, as if he was just stating an indisputable fact, but there seemed to be some special magnetism in his voice, like the singing of an angel, strangely able to soothe everything that arises in the heart Restlessness.

So Loria's mood also calmed down, she bit her lower lip lightly, and said to Constantine as if unwilling:

"I want to stay with you."

"You shouldn't be here with me." Constantine said again: "You should go back to your place."

"But I think..." Loria's voice was a little higher, but in the next moment, she suddenly stopped her voice as if realizing something: "...you are talking about..."

"I want to walk the same path as Father Constantine, I want to walk with Father Constantine."

"You shouldn't be here with me, you should go back to your own place."

She opened her eyes slightly, and stared at the man in black robe in front of her. Her curly black hair hung down naturally, and her pair of cool and calm purple eyes looked like a strange and silent lake.

There was her shadow in it.

The small shadow shook slightly, as if there were some ripples in it, but the ripples were just an illusion, and they faded away circle after circle in the next instant.

Loria's lips moved slightly, and finally she uttered that voice:

"...I have nowhere to go."

That empty house like a devil's den was not her place to go, and she had no other place to go.She didn't want to go anywhere, she couldn't go anywhere, she just wanted--just to stay with this man.

"Then I will find a place for you, Loria." Constantine said, "God has sent you disaster and suffering, and God will also send you blessings."

Lolia took a deep breath. She felt that her eyes seemed a little moist, but she still tried her best to maintain the original posture.She looked at him and spoke again, her voice seemed trembling:

"What about you?"

She asked.

"If all of this is given to me by God, then what are you? If you are really, really just an agent of God, if everything you do is only because of God's favor for me, then why, Why before I met you—”

Loria paused for a moment, she sniffed lightly, then closed her eyes as if giving up.

"Why did I never feel the existence of God before I met you?"

She didn't dare to open her eyes to see Konstantin's expression now, and she didn't dare to face what Konstantin might say next. Peace of mind, let her continue to say what she wants to say.

"Father Constantine, for believers in God, God should exist before God's agent, right?"

"But it's not like this for me, Father Constantine, I met you first. All the love I feel comes from you. You make me blind, you make me terrified, and you make me blind because I can't see other existences. And bewildered."

"You said that your way is to let the world see the original face of God, but I am also a dull and ignorant world in front of you, so why can't I follow in your footsteps, why can't I watch you describe the appearance of our God, Why can't I go the same way as you?"

A series of questions echoed hurriedly in the empty church, Loria lowered her head, her closed eyes seemed to be struggling in some other way.

"That day has not yet come." Constantine's voice was still calm: "And you still have a place to go."

He let go of her hand.

"Let's go back."

The question was not answered, and Loria had lost the courage to continue struggling.Constantine was indeed like the most devout servant in front of the gods. She couldn't see his appearance clearly, because he had almost completely integrated himself with his gods.

She couldn't stay here stubbornly, she knew very well that it would only make things more difficult to end.So she could only suppress the little greedy desire in her heart, and then, like a well-behaved and pious believer, secretly peeped at his appearance.

it's the only way.

"The nights in Cassandra don't seem to be peaceful these days." After reopening her eyes, Loria's voice has also returned to calm: "I heard many people say that it seems that there are always disturbing things at night. sound."

"I was a little impulsive when I ran out, but when I think about it, walking alone on the street late at night is really disturbing." She said, "So can Father Constantine send me back?"

This is really a selfish request. After all, if there is any danger lurking on the street, asking Constantine to send her back like this is tantamount to letting the priest be in danger alone.

In fact, Loria didn't care one bit about the rumors about Cassandra's late night.Most of the people who will be active outside in the middle of the night are members of the mafia, but Cassandra's mafia has never been difficult to embarrass ordinary citizens—she once met the mafia leader here in Constantine Many times, Mr. Ben, the man, although a little scary at first glance, may not be so bad in essence, not to mention that he and Father Constantine seem to be quite friendly.So she felt that doing so should not cause too much trouble for Constantine.

As for herself—she wasn't really that intimidated by Ben and the Mafia, and only said things like that because she wanted to spend more time with Constantine.

Constantine looked back at her, his eyes seemed to see through everything, but there seemed to be nothing.Such eyes made Lolia feel a little guilty, but after a long time, she still heard the man's voice ringing in her ears.

"can."
