[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

"shadow?"

"Yes, I am the Shadow Knight."

Carl frowned. Compared with "Holy Light Knight", "Shadow Knight" doesn't sound like a good job, does it?

Seeing Hockley's ugly face, Antonio thought about the reason and couldn't help laughing, "It's not what you think."

"You know what I think?" Karl replied angrily. He is in pain all over his body now, and he has to discuss his identity with this annoying guy here, which is really heart-wrenching. In a state of severe displeasure.

"Holy Light Knights generally don't leave the side of the Pope and Cardinals. They are responsible for the security work. I don't like being confined, so I voluntarily become a Shadow Knight."

"Come on, don't need to explain to me what's there or what's not. I only care about whether your special status will bring bad consequences to my wife and children."

If anyone knew that he was a shadow, it would be hard to say, but when no one knew that he was doing things for the church, all he could bring to Annie's family was good.Antonio really wanted to maintain a close relationship with that girl for the rest of his life, even through her children.

"No one has discovered my relationship with the church so far." He is a devout Catholic, so he often goes to church.

Carl: ...

Mr. Capitalist's brain quickly analyzed the pros and cons of Antonio's two identities. Even if he wanted to drive this rival out of their lives against his will, Karl had to admit that the benefits of getting involved with Mr. Marquis now seem to outweigh the disadvantages. .

Carl didn't speak, and Antonio didn't speak either. He silently drank the red wine in his glass, knowing that he needed to give the brown-haired man some time to think.

"...Is there really a god of death in the world?" These special people should know more news, right?

"what?"

Antonio raised his head in surprise and looked at the man who was still standing, looking down at him condescendingly. Even though he was injured, he still stood tall and handsome!But weren't they talking about his status?Did he hear it wrong, or did the man get a fever and talk nonsense because his wound was inflamed?

"Is there a god of death in this world?" Mr. Capitalist repeated his question patiently. Even if he was facing a rival in love with special power and status higher than his own, his proud temper remained unchanged. He raised his chin and glanced at Mr. Marquis out of the corner of his eye.

Antonio put down his wine glass and looked at the man who suddenly changed the subject in surprise: "Why are you asking this?"

"There were 720 survivors of the Titanic, and within these four months, 720 and 270 of the [-] died..."

He even saw Jack Dawson's name on the investigation list!

It is also because of this that Carl is more convinced of his and Robert's deduction. What happened to Annie must be controlled by a black hand (Reaper?) behind everything. Maybe the wolf attack this time is also due to that black hand?

It's completely different from the situation just now, and now it's replaced by Karl talking to himself, ignoring Antonio's question.

"Frost, after getting off the ship, Annie also encountered several accidents that almost killed her. Annie's brother and I checked some information and suspected that it was related to the god of death."

Because the blond girl was involved, Mr. Marquis, who originally didn't want to talk about the topic of identity, sighed, and began to search in his mind for the documents he had read about the god of death.

grim Reaper? !

Antonio rubbed his forehead, if it involves the dark world, it will be a little troublesome.

However, there is an explanation for "Hope"'s disappearance.

Before Anne got married, he and Neil went back to England. Originally, they wanted to bring "Hope" to the Vatican so that it could receive the baptism of holy water and prayers every day. The news is that "Hope" disappeared on the way.

Antonio remembered that when he was on the boat, he obviously sealed "Hope" in the box, and finally it miraculously appeared in Anne's handbag. If it is true as Hockley said, then Annie must have been there earlier. He was targeted by the god of death, and "hope" probably reached some agreement with the god of death?

But this time they encountered a werewolf, it should have nothing to do with the god of death...

"Has Annie been having accidents long before she disembarked?"

Karl affirmed Antonio's guess, everything from Annie being tied to the boat, the marble after getting off the boat to the black wolf who could speak recently, etc., hoping to know from Antonio how to make Annie no longer encounter danger.

As the incidents were uncovered one after another, Mr. Marquis's expression became bright and dark.

"The matter of the black wolf has nothing to do with the god of death." Antonio told him with Mr. Capitalist's look of certainty, "I don't know if you have noticed that Anne hasn't had any accidents since you got married?"

Of course I noticed, and Robert and I doubted that Annie would be safe with me—until the wolves attacked.

For being able to protect Anne, Mr. Capitalist has always had a faint sense of pride, but Antonio's next sentence made his puffed up chest soften like a popped balloon.

"I think it's because Anne became pregnant as soon as you got married." Antonio tried his best not to think about how a man can get a woman pregnant, but it was too difficult, so he decided to have another glass of red wine for himself.

Carl: (_)... isn't it because of me?

Neil quickly stepped forward to take the cup that the Marquis had been empty for a long time.

"I also want."

Seeing that Frost really knew something, Mr. Capitalist, who had been standing all this time, finally decided to sit down and talk in detail. This was the second day after he was injured, and the wound on his body was always painful. He needed some alcohol to numb his nerves.

After Neil served drinks to the two men who were sitting opposite each other, he retreated to an unobtrusive corner.

"One of the rules of the god of death is that life other than the damned cannot be deprived, so in these ten months, Anne will be safe until she gives birth to a baby."

Originally, the encounter in the woods made Carl start to question whether it was not safe to stay with him anymore, but Antonio said that the wild wolf was an accident. Does it mean that he can still protect Annie?

"Is it okay to stay by your side?"

Hearing that Hockley compared Anne's situation with his own and his sister's danger, Antonio shook his head, "There is no such thing as death will not show mercy because of someone..." However, there is indeed an exception.

"how?"

Seeing that Antonio seemed to be thinking of other things, Karl asked, for Anne's safety, he would not let go of any clues.

"...Unless you have the mark of Satan on your body."

"What do you mean?"

Satan's mark?what is that?

"Although I don't think people like you can go to heaven, it's not easy to get the mark of Satan."

Antonio couldn't help but poke fun at Carl before continuing to tell him what he knew.

"You know that some people are destined to go to hell without trial, criminals such as murderers, thefts, robberies, etc., as well as corruption, adultery, adultery, blasphemers, etc., these are almost all of them People who have made mistakes, but there is a kind of person who is destined to go to hell even if he has done good deeds all his life and never done a single bad thing.”

"Suicide, suicide." Antonio said word by word while watching Mr. Capitalist.

"I have read the classics. In hell, the lowest status is those who commit suicide. They will be bullied by other evil spirits and demons, because usually people who commit suicide are too cowardly."

"This is also the type of people that God dislikes the most, because they disregard God's gift of reincarnating them as humans. You must know that human beings are the chosen ones, and they are the race most favored by God. Suicides are simply beating... Uh huh, you understand."

Calmly there was a storm in Karl's heart, but he still asked calmly: "Then what? Can a cowardly suicide get the mark of Satan? Because Satan wants to balance hell? So he wants to protect the weakest hell dweller?"

"How is it possible!" Antonio denied Mr. Capitalist's speculation.

"Hell is a place where the weak prey on the strong. Satan's darling is of course the most powerful dark creature." Of course, it would be great if he could still be a little beautiful. Because of his appearance, Satan is an extreme supporter of facial control. "Also, it's not that simple to get the mark of Satan."

"As long as you sincerely repent, anyone can enter heaven, even murderers. Therefore, God has an agreement with Satan."

"If a person who commits suicide at the time of the devil has a strong unwillingness and desire, then Satan will mark his body, release him from hell, and give him another chance."

"In exchange, there will be a sincerely repentant criminal, oh! usually a heinous criminal, who will be forgiven by God and go to heaven."

"But how can it be so easy to meet the magic hour?" Antonio breathed out a mouthful of alcohol after speaking a long section of secrets, "Every day the magic hour is different, not to mention whether ordinary people know how to calculate it, just say The time of death must be accurate to "seconds", how many people can do it?"

"What's more, I don't think you seem like a suicidal person." Antonio summed up by mocking Mr. Capitalist again.

Little did he know that Cal Hockley, who was indifferent on the surface, was terrified now. He was almost, just a little bit, about to be reduced to the bottom class of hell!

Why did he commit suicide in the first place?

Don't you just want to be the bottom class of human beings?

He drank the red wine in the glass with shaking hands, took several deep breaths and asked, "With the mark of Satan, the god of death will not come to cause trouble?"

"Why do you keep chasing after the mark of Satan? Do you want to commit suicide?" Antonio shook his head heavily, "I advise you not to do this. Although it is said in the literature, no one knows whether it is true or not, and I don't know about the demons. How the time point of the moment is calculated."

Antonio suppressed the dark longing in his heart. In fact, Hockley can also try. If he can't come back, he can help take care of Annie and the child.

Lord Marquis, who has always been fair and sunny, smiled wryly, love is really terrible, it actually made him have such dirty thoughts!

"I didn't mean I couldn't hire someone with a mark to guard Annie."

Antonio swallowed his bitterness and looked at Carl with idiot eyes, "Are you stupid? Or do you think others are stupid? Who will tell you that he came back from the dead? How can you be sure that the other party really has the mark of Satan on him?"

"I won't suffer if I try to find someone! You just need to tell me, is Annie's safety guaranteed as long as someone with the mark of Satan stays by her side?"

"Yes! Satan is the supreme ruler of hell. Those who are remembered and let go by him will be treated with some courtesy by the creatures in the dark world. Alright, I have answered you, are you satisfied?"

"You can still make me more satisfied, what's with the talking wolf?"

Antonio:……

"You have so many questions today! Why, don't you rush to leave?" Don't pretend that he couldn't see Mr. Capitalist's impatient behavior at the beginning.

Carl sneered: "When you meet a monster that can speak human language and wants to eat people, don't you want to find out what it is?"

"...That's a werewolf, you should have heard of it?"

"Werewolf? The kind of wolf that can turn into a human?" There are gods of death and werewolves. Could it be that even vampires really exist?In legends, when mentioning werewolves, vampires will not be forgotten.Mr. Capitalist felt a little dizzy, and he almost didn't know the world.

"What effect will it have on me and Annie if he escapes?"

"Leave him to me." Antonio thought for a while, but was still not at ease, "However, the werewolf is very vengeful, in order to prevent him from coming back to trouble you first, I will ask Neil to give you and Annie two special pistols, you Better take the time to teach Annie how to aim and shoot, remembering that only special bullets can do them any harm."

"Okay, do you have any questions?" They had been talking for more than half an hour, much longer than he expected.

"Yes, since you can conceal the identity of the Shadow Knight, then don't let anyone find out that you are my child's godfather."

These were the last words Karl left before he got up and left.

He thought over and over again, judging from the current situation, there is no harm in getting involved with Antonio, at least judging from today's situation, it is indeed thanks to him, but that's all.

Carl can roughly guess the dangers of Antonio's work. Unless their family has the ability to protect themselves, they will be crushed to death by the residents of that strange world every minute. Therefore, the safest way is to prevent outsiders from knowing that Frost is him. The child's godfather,.

Another deeper reason is that Mr. Capitalist is a villain who wants to take advantage of others and doesn't want to give people a name!

Carl quietly returned to his and his little wife's bedroom, and lay down next to Anne again. He faced the girl, looked at her uncomfortable sleeping face, and told himself that as long as he was still alive, the god of death would never want to treat Annie again. Let's do it!

After sending the visitor away and closing the door again, Neil stepped forward and asked, "Marquis, is it okay to tell him so many things?" Today the Marquis said too many things that ordinary people should not know.

"He's a smart guy and I don't have to worry about Hockley as long as I can do them good."

Even though he could no longer offer Hockley any benefits, he left no evidence of his special status, and even took back the bottle of holy water he gave Annie to drink.

Antonio knocked on the handle of the sofa, "Is that black wolf missing?"

"After leaving the woods, he attacked two elderly people who were out for a walk, and then disappeared without a trace. The police determined that the two elderly people were attacked by hungry beasts."

The bodies of those two poor old men were mutilated.

Hearing that, Antonio couldn't bear to close his eyes. This was the consequence of not killing the black wolf on the spot. He saved the Hockley family and the child, and someone else would be the victim instead.
