Ultimate Assassin System

At dusk, there was a knock on the door of Xiaoshi Village Church.

After a while, Father York in a black robe came to the door. I saw a man wearing a flat-brimmed hat and a black jumpsuit standing in the shadow outside the door. He had seen this kind of attire a lot, and he probably did something dishonorable. He came here to pray for God's forgiveness.

At this time, the man spoke, and the content was in line with York's judgment.

Dear priest, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. The sin in my heart has never stopped, so I can only come to you to confess.

Haha, it doesn't matter, the God of Light is always there, and so are the servants of God. Father York opened the door and said gently.

The man nodded in gratitude, lowered the brim of his hat, and entered the church sideways.

Okay, let's start. York said after entering the confessional and sitting down.

The so-called confession booth is actually a place similar to a sedan chair, and a window is opened on the front to communicate with the outside world. The windows are separated from the outside by a layer of black cloth, which is also to protect the flesh and blood of believers.

Father, I am guilty!

Everyone in this world has sinned, but as long as you repent sincerely, God will forgive you.

It's just an old-fashioned dialogue without any new ideas. Father York mechanically said the words that he would repeat dozens of times a day, and his mind was a little distracted. He wondered if he had heard the noise wrongly? Some mice still got into the tunnel.

So...the priest, are you also guilty?

Uh, of course, I regret every day that I can't spread God's grace better. York answered very high-sounding.

The man outside snorted a little louder... What, are you ashamed in comparison? York thought to himself.

But I want to commit a crime now, and I have no way to control it.

Then you pray sincerely, asking God to give you strength so that you can control yourself.

The man outside was silent for a while: But I still want to know, if I really sinned, will God forgive me?

If you truly repent, God will surely forgive you

Huh... Praise God! The man outside seemed to be relieved.

Praise God. York stood up, well, finally dismissed this inexplicable confessor. Should I go to rest first, or continue with the exciting thing just now? Well, let's go and train those two fillies again, it feels so wonderful.

Father.

Why? York, who was reminiscing about the wonderful taste, paused, and replied in a low voice.

Thank you for the bread.

What……

puff!

The man who came to confession moved his long black clothes, and a crossbow with arrows already shot protruded from the hem. Then quickly up arrow, launch, up arrow, launch...

Puff puff.

The thin wooden boards and black yarn on the front of the confessional were quickly penetrated and torn by crossbow arrows. For a while, sawdust fluttered and hummed continuously.

Drink... drink... call...

After several crossbow arrows were fired, the man gasped heavily, looking very nervous. He pushed the brim of his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was Tang En who revealed a pair of long and narrow eyes.

Tang En picked up the crossbow and opened the confession booth. York's eyes were wide open, blood was all over his upper body, and the fatal wound was in his heart covered with his hands, where a large hole claimed his life.

God will forgive my sins. I don't know if your 'boss' will forgive your sins...

…………

About three kilometers east of Xiaoshi Village.

A team of knights equipped with holy armor is slowly advancing. The reason why they say they are advancing slowly is not that their mounts are not good. What slowed them down was a gorgeous carriage in the middle of the procession.

The small window on the side of the carriage was suddenly opened from the inside, revealing an old, wrinkled but energetic face. The knight waiting beside the carriage hastily leaned over.

Buck, how long will it take?

The knight didn't dare to neglect, and said respectfully: Lord Sethman, there is about a quarter of an hour before we will arrive at the church in Xiaoshi Village.

Well, it's a damned broken road. I hope it doesn't knock my carriage.

Buck looked at the slow-moving carriageway speechlessly: Don't worry, Mr. Sethman, your carriage is undamaged. Hell, at such a speed, if there is any damage, then there is something wrong with it.

That's good! Sethman in the carriage obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, Tell me briefly about the Little Stone Village Church.

Okay, Lord Sethman. The knight called Buck seemed to have done a lot of homework, and he opened his mouth and said, The church in Xiaoshi Village has nearly a thousand believers. The administrator is York, a low-level clergyman. Stone Village and the four surrounding farms. These five farms are a knight's fief.

Five farms, nearly a thousand believers...well, this York is quite talented.

Buck nodded in agreement and said, York also applied for a promotion to his superiors last month, and is currently being assessed. Lord Sethman, do you want to...

Let's go and have a look first. If you are a smart person, you can promote him. Buck, remind me when you get to the village entrance. I need to rest again. Sigh, I'm getting old, and my spirit can't keep up.

Buck quickly said: I've made a note. Lord Sethman has worked hard all the way, please take care of yourself. Are you old? It must have been those two nuns who tormented you last night...

Sethman naturally couldn't hear Buck's complaints, nodded in satisfaction, and was about to close the carriage window. at this time,

Clang, clang, clang...

Hey, is this the church bell? Sethman asked in surprise.

Here in the southern part of the Empire, there was no need for alarm bells like the northern frontier towns. Generally, there are melodious bells ringing, which is undoubtedly the bells of the church.

Well, it should be. Listening to the voice, the direction should be Xiaoshi Village.

Sethman said angrily: What the hell is this York doing? How could he ring the bell at this time?

Naturally, church bells can't be knocked randomly for no reason. Generally, they can only be rung during weekly prayer meetings, or major religious celebrations, such as the coming of the gods.

Buck spread his hands, expressing that he didn't understand either.

Speed ​​up and go see what's going on!

…………

Just as Sethman and the others were puzzled, the villagers of Xiaoshi Village looked at the church in the village in surprise.

Most of them are believers of the Church of Light, so they naturally know the meaning of the church bells. They had never heard the bell ringing at this time.

Clang, clang, clang...

The obstinate bell kept ringing.

The villagers looked at each other, put down their things one after another, and walked towards the church.

Xiaoshi Village is small, and the villagers who are closer are only a few steps away from the door of the church.

At this moment, the sound of the bell stopped suddenly.

Father York... Father York!

The first person to rush to the door of the church was a peasant woman. She leaned on the door of the church and shouted into it, but she didn't shout twice, and with a light hand, the door of the church that was half hidden was pushed open.

The first thing she saw was the vertical bell of the church, but there was nothing beside it.

Who is playing a prank?

Father York... She whispered and walked towards the main hall of the church. Everyone here knew that York's room was just behind the main hall.

The door of the main hall was also unlocked, and it was pushed open with a creak.

Hey, Father York, what are you doing sitting on the ground? At this time, it was already dark, and the interior of the main hall was naturally darker. However, the peasant woman still saw a figure lying with her head lowered against the host platform, facing the gate.

The figure didn't answer, and seemed to be concentrating on something on the ground.

The nervous peasant woman didn't notice anything unusual, she stepped forward a few steps, and was about to talk to Father York...

ah--

A scream of extreme horror came out, and some villagers who had just arrived at the church were shocked when they heard the sound.

At the door of the main hall, the peasant woman fell to the ground, pointing forward with trembling fingers: Yo, York... the priest is dead... dead.

What? Everyone was shocked and looked inside.

After a while, the lights in the main hall were lit.

Father York, who was wearing a black robe, was lying on the presiding platform, blood was slowly flowing from several transparent holes in his chest, the holy light pendant on his chest had been dyed red, and a large pool of blood was spreading on the ground.

Father York!

God, how did this happen! Huh...

Which smashed it? I will hang him immediately!

Hey, there is something on the ground, and there are writings...

Seeing York's tragic death, all the villagers were completely angry. It should be said that York's performance in Xiaoshi Village was really perfect. He successfully left a pious and kind impression on the villagers. Now that such a good person is brutally killed like this, everyone can't help being angry.

The crowd was furious and kept cursing the murderer. At this time, some careful people saw the things beside York's hand and the blood-stained handwriting.

Hey, this is a key.

Is that the murderer's name?

Those who can read quickly have a look! some impatient villagers shouted.

Get out of the way, I'll come. A bearded farmer squeezed in and recognized it, Well, the truth is written in the back room.

The back room? Father York's bedroom...

Is the murderer still there?

Let's go, leave a few to look at York's body, and the rest go to catch the murderer.

Everyone took all kinds of things and rushed towards York's bedroom.

When they opened the door of York's bedroom, it was empty, but they found the bookcase removed and the secret passage behind the wall.

Hey, why is there a secret passage in Father York's room?

The suspicious villagers looked at each other, boldly walked down the secret passage, and soon found the two girls who had been brutally abused.

Hey, Old John, isn't this your granddaughter? Wasn't she sent by Father York to practice in a monastery?

This, it seems to be Mary from the neighboring village, right? I saw her parents a few days ago.

Yes, but didn't she say that she was recommended by Father York to become a nun at the General Assembly? Why are you here?

…………

The two girls were dumbfounded when they saw such a large number of villagers coming in. After realizing it, they burst into tears and rushed towards the crowd, crying about what happened to them.

When everyone returned to the main hall and saw York's body, they all had complicated expressions.

The two girls cried and were about to come up to bite York's body. After being dissuaded by everyone, they lay in the arms of the peasant woman and sobbed. The two of them were abused by York for a long time, and they were overjoyed, sobbed a few times, and just passed out.

For a while, the main hall became extremely silent.

They didn't expect that York, who was kind and helpful in his daily life, was actually so dirty and despicable behind the scenes. Moreover, York is also the priest of the God of Light, a servant of God who often preaches the gospel and persuades people to do good. Their faith has collapsed. For a while, I didn't know what to say.

At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd. They were all villagers who did not look up and looked down, so everyone naturally knew that this was Old John. Ever since he heard his granddaughter crying in the secret passage, he has been in a daze.

Old John walked in front of York's body, watching silently. Suddenly, a mouthful of thick phlegm was spit on York's face. Then, in the exclamation of everyone, he fell to the sky.

Everyone was in confusion again, but fortunately, someone had already seen that he was abnormal, and stepped forward to support his body.

At this time, there was another rush of footsteps, and a young villager who had not been there before shouted happily: Master Sethman Inspector has arrived at the entrance of the village, everyone is going to meet... Seeing that everyone used strange Looking at him, his tone became weaker and weaker, and finally shut up.

what's the situation……
