A few kilometers from the town, brightly coloured signs have appeared, and the former red-light district has now been renamed "Angel Town." Calvin sneered as he looked out the window at the conspicuous ribbons, balloons, and American Dream family portraits on the more and more posters. Calvin envisioned the town where the Advent faction was to be as terrifying and dimly dark as his dreams, and from a distance he could see a dark cloud of smoke hanging over the town, like an open nest of poisonous insects waiting to devour its hapless prey......

However, after being led to the town by intuition, Calvin was somewhat surprised to find that it seemed to be the opposite of what he had imagined.

The grey road has come to an end, and Angel Town, so let's call it, stands not far away, looking like a jeweled music box that a child receives at Christmas. All the dilapidated houses were wrapped in a large number of colorful balloons, and banners were erected on both sides of the town, each with Bible quotations.

Once so deserted that it was called a ghost town, the town seems to have recaptured its heyday, and at the entrance to the town, there is a long queue of cars, including sightseeing buses. Reed stuck his head out of the window, glanced ahead, and sat back.

He whistled.

"Looks like we just ran into some of their celebrations. ”

He looked at Calvin and said, in contrast to his relaxed tone, his green eyes flashed with worry.

There were far more people here than Calvin had expected, which was not good news for the "illegal kidnapping" they were about to carry out.

“…… Maybe we should go straight to the girl's mother, who should know what happened to her daughter. Reed suggested "kindly".

Calvin looked blankly ahead, and he repeatedly wiped a dagger in his hand with a soft cloth.

Reed tried his best to look frightened, but his body trembled because of Calvin's current appearance.

"It didn't work. At the mention of Madeleine, Calvin's expression became even colder. "Isha was brought to this place for Madeleine...... Not all mothers know how to love their children. ”

At the end of the sentence, Calvin's eyes were in a trance for a moment.

And at this moment, several Adventist priests in black robes walked along the sides of the blocked road. As if they were checking something, they watched the traffic jams along the road. As they approached Calvin and Reed's car, a priest stopped and knocked on the window, Calvin's hand trembled, and the dagger slipped into his cuff under the cover of the soft cloth.

Reid gave him a quick glance, then pressed the window.

"Good day, may the children of light bless you......" A very young face appeared outside the window, with light brown eyes and a sunburned face, and tiny freckles on his cheekbones, Calvin was a little skeptical that he was an adult.

"Where's your stickers?"

The young pastor asked in the voice of a male duck characteristic of the voice-changing period, and he pointed to the front windshield of the car.

"Stickers?" Reed narrowed his eyes, "What kind of stickers are you talking about?"

Hearing Reed's answer, the priest subconsciously took a step back, and he looked at Reed and Calvin again, this time his gaze was far sharper and more stern than before.

"Invitation stickers, we sent them with the invitation letter earlier...... Wait, are you Adventists?" the priest asked, frowning.

Reed and Calvin looked at each other, and then Reed turned to the priest, who shook his head.

"No, we were just trying to find a place to rest, my friend was a little motion sick but he forgot to tell me that when he went out, I was really a little tired of having to drop him down every three kilometres and throw up all over the roadside......" Reed said worriedly.

Calvin was slightly stunned, but he quickly showed weakness to the priest, and of course, his ugly face did make Reed's lie very convincing.

The priest glanced slightly over at Calvin, a look of confusion flashing across his face.

"You're not an Adventist, so how did you get here? Someone should have told you a few kilometers ago that this place was only accessible to Adventists—"

Reed raised an eyebrow, "We haven't met anyone to tell us this...... We used the map's congestion avoidance feature and took a little detour to get to this road, which was not a very short road, and my friend was really about to lose it. ”

"I'm sorry, but you can't get into town. The priest stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the road, "You can turn around and take Route 7, there's a motel not far away—"

"Wait, why?"

"This is the internal venue of Adventism, and uninvited infidels are not allowed to enter. ”

The priest said calmly, with an irritating rightness in his tone.

Reed's fingers tapped on the steering wheel, and he looked a little annoyed.

"Wait, we just want to go in and get some rest and find a nice town inn to stay in for a while, I can guarantee we won't go out-"

"I thought I'd made it clear that Angel Town is an internal place of Adventism and is not allowed to be entered by uninvited heretics. ”

The young Adventist priest repeated the phrase over and over again like a repeater, as if he had nothing but it in his head.

Reed let out a loud sneer.

"Hey, come on, a whole town is an internal place? I thought I was in American territory? And what did you just say, heretic? That's not a nice word......"

"I hope you will respect our religious beliefs, you are not believers, so you are not allowed to enter, if you wish, I can explain to you here a thousand times, but I'm sorry, sir, the end result is the same, you can't enter...... For the sake of your friend's health, I think you might consider making a U-turn and getting out of here right away, and I can assure you that the motel on Route 7 is comfortable and perfect for couples...... There was also a friend's stay. ”

Reid glared viciously at the Adventist priest, and after a few seconds, he let out a curse that he could clearly hear, and then he pressed the gas pedal hard. With the roar of the motor, the car brushed the priest's body and turned into the wrong lane—the road in this direction was empty, and not a single car was seen coming out of the town for a long time.

Reed didn't slowly pull to the side of the road until a few kilometers later, and in contrast to the irascible appearance he appeared in front of the priest, he now seemed quite calm.

"Looks like we're going to have to figure out how to get to town......"

Calvin also changed his previous weak appearance, his brow furrowed, staring in the direction of the town, his face solemn.

Whether it was the fact that the Adventists had designated the entire town as private territory, or the flooded vehicles on that road, he felt the gravity of the situation even more.

"I don't understand," he muttered, "no one realizes what's wrong with this goddamn ghost sect......

For the first time, Calvin felt the horror so first-hand that the cult that had been preaching in an RV fifteen years ago had become such a monstrous monster fifteen years later.

"Did that imp just think the two of us were couples? Hey, did he say the word 'couple'......"

At the same time as Calvin spoke was Reed, who stroked his chin with his hand and muttered earnestly.

Calvin threw a cold glance at him.

"Just kidding. ”

Reed immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but he had apparently forgotten to hide the secretly happy smile on his face.

Calvin suddenly regretted the kiss he had given him—apparently he had given Reed the wrong signal. You see, when people are impulsive, they turn over mistakes, and Calvin now doesn't know what he has to do to correct it.

"Maybe we can go on foot, park the car on the outskirts of the town, and then walk to find a gap into the town," he shifted the conversation to how to get into the town, "They can check the cars entering the town one by one, but they can't check the people in the town one by one...... "Once the attention was returned to the Adventists, Calvin unconsciously felt anxious.

"Wait, on foot?"

"I felt bad about that celebration, and I hope that the hell thing has nothing to do with the kids. ”

Calvin whispered, leaning over very skillfully and pulling his phone out of Reed's pocket (he was apparently unaware of the intimacy implied in the move). His white neck was unguarded in front of Reed, pale cyan veins faintly visible under his delicate skin. Reed took a deep breath, and the scent of the same shower gel came from Calvin's body.

"Smack-"

Reed seemed to hear the sound of something breaking deep inside him.

Of course, he could also call that "something" "self-control", and after just such a second of closeness, his adrenaline suddenly soared to its peak, and he found that he almost hardened like that, and the heat rushed through his body, as if his blood had been replaced by vodka by God in an instant. At the same time, Calvin got his phone without knowing it, sat back, and then seriously opened the map of his phone and began to calculate the distance of the hike, and Reed began to lick Calvin's side face with his gaze - oh, what a seductive tight line and cute look.

Calvin's fingers flickered, and he turned his head to look at Reed.

"What's wrong?"

He asked. Reed's gaze, which was so focused that it seemed to have substance, made Calvin feel a little uncomfortable.

Reed opened his mouth, the tip of his bright red tongue licking his lips. Then he reached out and put his hand on the back of Calvin's hand, and the hot palm made the latter's hand shake uncontrollably, and the phone fell straight into his knee before rolling to his feet.

"Reed?"

"Hey, listen, I think I have a better way. ”

He said to Calvin.

"What's the solution?"

"Hmm......," Reed muttered, not answering Calvin, who just stared deeply, deeply, deeply.

Calvin's heart beat faster, and for some reason, Reed's gaze now overwhelmed him, and there seemed to be a storm of greed and tyranny in the deep, rich green of those eyes......

In a trance, Calvin even felt like he was looking at a wild beast. 166 Reading Network
