It is beneath a cliff of brown, black and red earth, but it is not built on the mountain, but directly into the mountain. But it's huge enough that even when viewed from a distance, it's just as clear.

The white façade seems to indicate something, and the simple, almost rudimentary style seems to indicate its position.

It is, the Monastery of Pechaels.

Anatoly had been returning to this monastery with Sullivan for three days.

For three days, Anatoly did not see Sullivan again. He seemed to have entered the depths of the monastery - a place that even he, a student who had graduated here, had not yet entered.

Forbidden land, holy land...... Titles like these have been circulating among the students since he was a student here.

Despite knowing that this was mostly speculation among students, the old friars of the monastery did not seem to have given an official explanation. Therefore, after so many years, there is such a legend.

'Only those who have received the grace of the Lord may enter'

Anatoly was an orphan from an early age, abandoned near the monastery and later picked up by an old friar, who could be said to have grown up here.

It seemed to be the dawn of the day, the time of the sun, so the old friar named him: Anatoly.

That is, the meaning of sunrise.

Monastic life is simple, as simple as a return to primitive society. It has only been twenty years since he was raised here, baptized, and then officially become a monk, and finally won the approval of the abbot with the best grades in his class.

He was a genius in the eyes of others, but he knew that he just worked a little harder than others.

"Anatoly, are you there?"

When there was a knock on the door, Anatoly was praying. Basically, when there was nothing else, he would pray all the time.

This made him feel that he could empty his mind, and it also made him feel that he could truly hear the gospel of the Lord one day later.

"The dean said, please come to the thirteenth auditorium. ”

That forbidden place?

......

Anatoly met with Mr. Sullivan. And, of course, the abbot who personally blessed him when he graduated...... And the old monk who picked him up from the wilderness and raised him.

"Anatoly, my child, come here. The old monk who had adopted him smiled and beckoned.

Anatoly walked up to several people. He began to look at the 'Thirteenth Auditorium'. He found that it seemed to be much older, and that there was a divine aura that calmed his heart at all times...... Even more than the effect of prayer.

But in fact, this Thirteenth Auditorium ...... It's not what an auditorium looks like.

To be precise, it's just a stone room, with candlesticks hanging on all four walls. And in the center of the auditorium where he walked was actually a circular platform.

Sullivan was in the middle of this round platform at this time, waiting for his arrival.

The abbot and the old friar stood beside Sullivan on the left and right. When Anatoly was completely in front of the three of them, the old monk suddenly stretched out his hand and said softly: "Anatoly, my child, kneel." ”

Anatoly nodded, and without much hesitation, fell to his knees.

The old monk then said, "Close your eyes, then pray in your heart and listen." ”

Anatoly slowly closed his eyes.

At the same time, the abbot and the old monk slowly retreated to the edge of the round platform. They both lowered their heads at the same time and closed their eyes.

Because what follows, for the two of them, even if they open their eyes and see it, it is blasphemy.

On the round platform, there was a faint white light, and Sullivan was also approaching the front of Anatoly. His hands fell apart, and his body slowly lifted off the ground.

He was levitating.

Suddenly, a strong light erupted from Sullivan's body in Hall 13! In an instant, countless white feathers seemed to be scattered in the sky above the auditorium.

A pair of white, soft feathers of light were slowly opening behind Sullivan's back—and finally, Sullivan opened his eyes as well.

It was pale golden pupils.

Almost at the same time, a pillar of golden light shot out from a sphere in the center of the auditorium and shone directly on Anatoly's body...... Let him seem to be bathed in a sea of gold.

Warm and compassionate.

Anatoly was almost lost in this soul-soaked feeling, and gradually forgot the passage of time.

Right now!

He felt a sense of anger, and a ...... He said that he could not be willed. In this moment, the feeling of warmth and compassion disappeared in an instant.

It was as if he was under heavy shackles. Instinctively, Anatoly opened his eyes—he knew that something was wrong with his memory, and Sullivan and the Dean were so solemn that they wanted to help him solve it.

But it seems that even if he returned to the monastery, he even came to this thirteenth auditorium...... He still didn't think about what he had forgotten.

"Mr. Sullivan?" Anatoly was calm, and looked at the man in front of him with confusion.

The visions around him had long since vanished, and Sullivan was just standing there with his eyes closed...... His face was a little pale.

When the abbot and the old friar heard Anatoly's voice, they opened their eyes in surprise.

Next, there was Sullivan's words, which alarmed everyone: "Anatoly, you are a heretic, and you need to wash away your sins." Dean, imprison the holy power in his body, and in three days, I will personally purify his soul tainted with the smell of sin. ”

Anatoly moved her lips.

Obviously, he had maintained a calm mind for twenty years, and now it began to fluctuate violently.

He didn't understand.

And...... What about recovering your memory?

......

......

"Once upon a time, there was a good, but ugly monster in the forest. ”

On the train to St. Petersburg, a young mother is telling a story to an awkward little girl.

Later, the monster bumped into a little girl. The little girl was not afraid of it, but because of the monster's kindness, she became good friends with the monster. Every day, the monster would pick the sweetest fruit from the forest and fill it with clear spring water for the little girl to eat. However, the little girl must promise not to be able to tell others. ”

The little girl in her arms was gradually attracted by this story, and her mother's voice continued to sound, "Many days have passed, and the little girl has been very happy in the company of the monster, and suddenly one day, the little girl innocently said that when she grows up to the age of eighteen, she will marry this monster." ”

The little girl moved away with her family and didn't have time to tell the monster about it. The monster didn't know, but it went and picked the best fruit and filled it with the sweetest spring water. However, it did not wait for the little girl to appear. ”

The little girl in her arms showed a sad expression when she heard this.

The mother patted her cheek comfortingly, but continued to whisper, "It's counting the days day by day. It carved marks with its fingernails on the stump of the tree it had done with the little girl. After a day, it carved a stroke, and just like that, day by day. Suddenly, one day, the monster found that it was the little girl's eighteenth birthday. But on this day, it still did not wait for the arrival of the little girl. ”

Hearing this, the little girl pouted, "Mother, this monster is so pitiful!

The mother said softly, "I saw it later." The Mr. Monster, who had finally mustered up the courage to step out of the forest, mingled with the crowd and searched for the past. Finally, let it find the little girl. Of course, by the time the little girl reached the age of eighteen, she had become a very beautiful girl. ”

"So, are Mr. Monster and the little girl married?"

The mother was about to speak, responding to the child's expectations.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the father sitting next to him suddenly said: "I am not married!" The little girl fell in love with someone else, so the monster was angry, and ate the little girl in one bite, and then became a very handsome person, and suddenly found other true love!"

As he spoke, the father opened his hands and approached his daughter like teeth and claws, "If I eat you, I will become a handsome person!

"Ahh

At this moment, the little girl fled from her mother's arms in fright, but soon she felt like she had hit something, and her body was unstable all of a sudden, and she was about to fall to the ground.

"Be careful. ”

In fact, he didn't fall, but held on steadily. The little girl looked up, tilted her head, and saw a young big brother who was very different from her own parents.

Black hair and black eyes are not very common for little girls.

"I'm sorry, sir!" the mother quickly got up from her seat and said apologetically, "My husband is playing with this child, but I didn't expect to scare her like this." I'm sorry to run into you. ”

As she spoke, her mother glared at her husband with reproachful eyes.

"It doesn't matter. The young big brother smiled, he touched the little girl's head, and suddenly said, "Madam, this ending that your husband said is quite interesting. ”

"Huh?" the little girl's father was stunned...... I couldn't find out how to continue the speech of this young man with an oriental face.

He could only smile awkwardly.

"By the way, is this story original?" the young big brother suddenly asked curiously.

The little girl's father hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Not really, anyway, it's the story I heard the old man tell when I was a child." That ending is just my nonsense, don't be serious. ”

"Really...... Don't bother anymore. ”

Watching the young big brother walk back, the little girl climbed on her father's lap, poked her head out of the seat, saw the big brother sitting in the back five or six rows apart, pouted, suddenly looked down at her mother and said, "Mom! there is a very beautiful big sister there!"

"Alright, alright, we're almost there, sit down! We're going to your grandmother's house soon!"

The mother said solemnly, twisting her husband's ears and twisting his head back as he wanted to look back.

The train finally stopped.

St. Petersburg station, to. (To be continued.) )
