"To the God of peace, who by the blood of the everlasting covenant raised from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep."

-- Hebrews 13:20 --

"boom--"

The prison guard used a heavy rubber-wrapped iron pole through the barbed wire to alternately hit Red Deer's temples and throat more than a dozen times before knocking him down.

Imogen and Daniel held Calvin's shoulders and dragged him away from the door of the prison cell.

The prison guards rushed in.

"Don't move! Don't—oh you son of a bitch—"

"Squeeze him!"

"God, hold him down—"

……

Calvin heard the police screaming in the chaos, and their sharp voices sounded like they contained fear... Calvin didn't know if it was because he was too scared that he had such an illusion.

In fear, the prison guards started beating the "Red Deer" frantically.

"Angel"'s body trembled uncontrollably, and for a moment he didn't even know where he was.Imogen caught his wings in the confusion, and he struggled violently.

"No, let me go—"

"Hush, Calvin!"

Daniel sternly whispered a restrained warning in his ear.

He and Imogen had already brought Calvin to the corner of the room, intentionally or unintentionally, he pushed Imogen away from Calvin, his face was ashen as if he had found rat droppings in his breakfast.

Then the gray-haired man stared at Calvin viciously. The latter's eyes were red, and the violet eyes were glistening with water, and his cheeks were pale and bloodless. This was a face full of horror. The boy bit His own lips, small white teeth set in soft red lips, made him look weak and unreal, like a quivering little piece of milk pudding on a silver spoon.Daniel Wright stared at him for a brief moment, then his fingers moved to Calvin's wrist.He pinched hard and mercilessly on the back of the boy's hand.

Calvin shuddered at that moment, he suddenly raised his head to look at Daniel, and Daniel spoke silently to him——

(Pay attention to your own manners, Your Highness "Children of Light".)

Calvin's cheeks twitched slightly, his heart was still beating wildly, blood was rushing wildly in his veins, he felt his temples throbbing, and until now his body still couldn't exert any strength.

He knew what Daniel meant—now he is the "Child of Light", and as the spokesperson of God, he should not reveal any human emotional flaws in front of others—he should be graceful, indifferent, and nothing The existence of, and all the boring and heavy training he has undergone is designed to make him show these qualities.Calvin forced himself to straighten his back, as his physique teacher told him, "Imagine yourself as a swan, that's fine, your neck and back should stand up strongly", but he only moved a little because The sharp pain in the shoulder blades made him gasp.Daniel and Imogen were pulling him so hard from the demon's mouth that he twisted his wings, and now they were hot and painful where they joined his back, as if someone had pinched him. A piece of hot coals was buried in the flesh.

"I'm very sorry……"

Calvin said hesitantly.

He realizes he can't do it, he can't put on that graceful look anymore, all he wants to do now is curl up and put his knees on his chest to get through the pain, a little later He received Daniel's increasingly cold gaze, touched his face and found that his fingertips were wet.

Calvin put his hand down, he looked at his fingers, there were some tears on them - even he didn't realize that he was crying just now (he couldn't tell whether it was because of "Red Deer" suddenly The attack was also because he found himself unable to do the things Daniel asked), his index finger was red, there was a tooth mark in the knuckle, and blood was gushing from the wound.

At the moment when he was dragged away, the "Red Deer" tried to hold him with his teeth. This is the mark that the madman left on Calvin.

"Oh, damn it!"

Calvin heard Daniel curse in his ear, and now the Adventist pope saw his wounds too.

"I have to take you to get vaccinated."

The man suppressed his anger and muttered. He grabbed Calvin's hand and lifted the limp "angel" from the ground.

"Bang-"

At this time, the iron door of the prison room made a muffled sound.

Both Calvin and Daniel's bodies were shaken, and they all looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see the situation where "Red Deer" was pressed firmly against the door. The face of "Red Deer" was squeezed against the barbed wire fence, his muscles twisted, but his eyes pierced straight to the pale-faced Calvin.

"Once you cleansed me, you cleanse me forever, my Lord, you are my shepherd, and I am your lamb..."

"Red Deer" giggled and spoke incoherently, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, which was so red that it was Calvin's blood.The moment he realized this, Calvin's injured index finger began to ache as if it had been burned by a fire.

Calvin felt a deep terror.

Desire, passion and adoration, or something purer than these emotions, intangible things are crawling along the "Red Deer"'s straight, undisguised fanatical gaze, and have been penetrating into the depths of Calvin's soul go.As if being hit by an electric current, trembling goosebumps appeared on the back of "Angel", and his breathing seemed to be frozen in his nasal cavity. It was obvious that "Red Deer" had been subdued by the prison guards, and there was a gap between him and Calvin. The iron gate was not a close distance, and Calvin was still so frightened that his internal organs ached.

"To shut up!"

A tone-changing voice full of strange anger suddenly sounded.

A black shadow rushed towards the "Red Deer", the old prison priest Imogen's cheeks turned purple due to resentment, and blood vessels as thick as earthworms floated under the skin of his forehead.

He raised the heavy bible with a cowhide cover in his hand, and slapped the "Red Deer" on the head through the iron door.

"How dare you—how dare you tarnish my light—"

When he let out a sound that was hard to imagine a person his age could make, his lips parted outwards, revealing his teeth, like a mad dog that had lost its mind.

"...you stole His precious blood, how dare you...how dare you, a devil..."

It has to be said that the maddened Imogen deepened Calvin's panic.

If it wasn't for Daniel holding him up forcibly, he would probably have fallen to the ground. After a few seconds, Daniel reached out and covered Calvin's eyes.The gray-haired man keenly noticed Imogen's abnormality, and this made him breathe a sigh of relief... After all, Calvin's reaction just now was too out of standard, and Daniel really didn't want to create it with great difficulty. The negative image of the "angel" is displayed in the eyes of a sober and calm believer.

Some chaotic footsteps came from far outside the room, Daniel Wright's ears moved, and the "Red Deer"'s abnormal movement caused an alarm, and now the police officers who came to increase their strength were about to arrive at the scene.Daniel set up Calvin decisively, and walked quickly towards the door with steady, calm steps while the reinforcements opened the door.

After opening the door, he saw a face soaked in cold sweat and eyes full of fear, which belonged to the warden.

"The 'Children of Light' are under attack - where's the infirmary?"

Daniel said.

Someone greeted them, and they left the room with Daniel Wright and Calvin——

"Red Deer" is getting farther and farther away from them.

And at this moment, Calvin suddenly heard the voice of "Red Deer".

"I will come to your side and serve you, I will, my lord."

Calvin's body stiffened suddenly.

That voice didn't seem to come from a distance at all, it was so low, fanatical, and hoarse, it was a whisper full of enthusiasm... It was as if someone was on his shoulder, biting his It was the same as what Er Guo said softly.

"Calvin?!"

Daniel felt Calvin's momentary stagnation, and he issued a warning with a frosty face.

Calvin didn't dare to turn his head. He was trembling, and raised his head tremblingly to look at his guardian, with tears in his eyes.

"that person……"

"He will pay the price."

Daniel frowned and interrupted Calvin's words, he didn't seem to hear the horrible words at all.

He was more angry about "Red Deer"-that damned, disgusting death row prisoner, his last act ruined everything, Calvin's confession became a complete joke under his attack, and Daniel hasn't figured out how to resolve the negative impression that this matter may bring until now.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart began to swell.

He couldn't help but glared at the boy beside him again. The latter's neck was drooping, and he was leaning against his body because of fear.

The heat from the boy's body was transferred to Daniel's skin through the fabric, and his breathing became imperceptibly aggravated.

—This damned deformity.

Daniel's anger suddenly started to ferment for some reason, and a voice in his heart said to him through gritted teeth.

It was always going to be like this, no matter how much he warned Calvin, the boy put on his effeminate look and got into a lot of trouble.

"Calvin, I think we should have a good talk when we get back."

Daniel said coldly.

Calvin pursed his lips tightly.

He couldn't say a word, but the fist placed by his side was suddenly clenched.

A drop of red blood slowly oozed from between his fingers, and fell silently on the cold ground of the prison.
