Chapter 827: An Agreement with the Scavenger
I sat in my chair and heard the words, 'Father, I'm guilty.' That's when I remembered, what about the incision? I don't know what the priest said about that set of incisions!
Confession is a religious form of spiritual counseling in which you are doctrinally told that if you have sinned against the Father and Jesus, you need to confess to the clergy. Then, the clergy, on behalf of Jesus, forgive you for your sins.
That's to the effect, I understand that.
But the details are not understood.
But no matter what, I have to say something!
After answering the call, he knew that there was someone here, and he could continue to say, anyway, in the end, how much he knew.
Me: "Hmm. β
After answering the words, the black uncle really didn't ask anything more, but took care of his own thoughts.
"Father, I have killed people in Iraq, but they are all evil infidels. Later, I was discharged from the army and returned to my own country, and at one point, I laid down my arms. But under the pressure of life, I found some former comrades-in-arms, we were hired by different organizations, traveling back and forth all over the world, we killed one after another, I don't know why I was killed, my hands were covered in blood. β
At this point, the black uncle breathed a sigh of relief.
So, he continued, "Now, I have received another assignment. I'm probably going to kill again. But I'm really tired of this goddamn murder, and I don't want to do it. What am I going to do? Father, please give me a clear way. β
The black uncle's voice was full of tears, which was very touching.
People, even if they have been unforgivable, as long as good thoughts flash in their hearts, they must grasp it.
Because this hard-won kindness is the only way for people to redeem themselves.
Brother is not a fairy, not a real priest!
But now......
I looked up and saw a small movable baffle on it, I went over, pulled it away, then pulled out my big head, and said directly to the black uncle, "Trust me, I can solve your problems." β
How to put it, it's a very dangerous move, and I'm gambling.
One thought is good, one thought is evil!
That's what I'm betting on, this good.
And when I put my brain melon seeds in front of the black uncle, I showed this old town house in the eyes of the uncle.
The black uncle is messy!
"Oh, the cake seller!"
The uncle screamed, reached out and subconsciously touched his waist.
Click!
Pull the bolt of the gun, and a black fire will go straight against my seal.
My heart trembled slightly for 0.2 seconds before it returned to normal.
I stared at my uncle and said, "I know it's inappropriate for me to be here, and I know it's very bad for me to deceive you." But I've heard you say that I'm not a Christian and I don't believe in God, but what I'm trying to say is that I can help, I can help you. It's true! Trust me! β
The black uncle pointed the gun straight at me, motionless.
Three seconds later.
The muzzle of the gun shook slightly.
I struck while the iron was hot: "We both know in our hearts that among the people who live in Francis's house, who is a demon and who is an angel, but what I want to say is that whether it is a demon or an angel, it will naturally be the day of judgment, and the most important thing we should do now is to save the four members of Francis's family." Do you know? The virus in their bodies is about to mutate, and God knows, in the end, what will become of them. β
The black uncle was silent for a few more seconds.
Then he said, "I know, I know, what will become of them!" β
I blinked: "Maybe, if we work together, maybe we can stop them from becoming something......"
The black uncle was powerless to put down the gun: "It's late." It's all late. β
I pulled my head out of the small wooden hole and reached out and pushed the door open.
The black uncle also came out at this time.
He looked me up and down, and the corners of his mouth smeared a faint sneer: "Are you J or Ji Boda?" Or is it someone I don't know? β
I shrugged my shoulders: "A person's name is just a code name after all. This doesn't show anything, what really reflects the value of this person is what this person has done in this life since he came to earth until the day he died. β
"The things he did, the things he did, the thoughts he had in his heart, were his indelible ID cards!"
This is not a fool, it is what Dao Ye told me word by word.
When I was a child, I asked Lord, what is a human being and why am I me?
Master Dao told me that in fact, everyone is just an experience, a cause and effect, and a past.
Everyone, from the initial non-existence, to the existence of the world, to the final death, no matter what kind of funeral you take, the final body will return to this world.
Because of this, the existence of human beings is not the people themselves, but the people, in this life, what they have done!
I didn't understand these words very well when I was a child. When I grew up, I don't fully understand it.
Yes, it deserves to be tasted for a lifetime.
But I think, Uncle Negro, seems to have understood a lot.
At that moment, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, yes, he seemed to have an epiphany, understood.
Some people may ask, how can a Christian understand your Taoist theories and thoughts?
In fact, as long as you study carefully, you will find that the core ideas of several popular religions in the world are actually all about one thing. (PS: Recommend a book, Karen 61 Armstrong's "Axial Age", and then combine it with watching the BBC documentary "The Complete Series of Religions", and finally read the Tao Te Ching a few more times, and you will find that all religions talk about one thing.) Religion is not in conflict in the first place! οΌ
The approximate process is awakening, perfection, return, and nirvana.
It's such a process, it's very simple, but it takes people, generations, dozens, or even hundreds of generations to work hard for it.
The muscles on the black uncle's face twitched, he quickly put away the gun, and then stretched out his hand: "Scavenger Andrey." β
I held out my hand: "J! β
"Hello."
"Hello."
Andrei glanced at me: "How did you get here?" β
I spread my hands: "Well, I don't want to come here, and then, by the way, I will help Mr. Priest to take care of the church." β
Andrey: "Interesting. β
I stretched out my hand, "Please be seated." β
We each occupied a bench and sat down across the aisle.
I said, "So, you, don't return to new life?" β
Andre was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "We don't belong to any force, you can call us ......" He smiled: "Killer, can also be said to be a mercenary, NO...... Mercenaries are not the right word. Because we are not a legitimate organization. All in all, we have been employed for a long time, Mr. X. We do things for him. β
Xβ¦β¦
I recall, and I vividly remember that on the eve of my trip to Santa Catalina Island, I received a bottle of potion in the mail in the house I had come to in Los Angeles.
That thing was packaged to me by Mr. X.
Well, OK.
This X should be related to the New York headquarters.
I asked Andrei: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of your task ......"
Perhaps, this is a church, a sacred place. Therefore, Andrey did not hide.
"Clear! Everything in the room, including the four Francis' family and you, is to be cleared. β
I gasped: "You guys, aren't you afraid, ...... the police?" β
Andrei grinned: "Of course, we can't choose to do anything in this house, we will move you to a safe place, and then, there, all clear." β
X is ruthless enough!
A question occurred to me, and I said, "The real reason why you haven't done it all this time is that you want to get something out of Francis's mouth?" β
Andrey: "Clever. β
I said, "Just get the news you want, do it right away, right?" β
Andrey: "Yes. β
I said, "But you're tired of it, and you don't like your job very much." You have insomnia every night, you often wake up in nightmares, and in your dreams, you will see those who you have killed with your own hands, their ghosts, coming to you for their lives. β
Andrey: "Yes, and a lot of people have this symptom. We take it for granted, call it, traumatic reaction. β
Andrei shrugged.
I laughed, "X, how much do you pay?" β
Andrei reported a number.
Me: "Wow, sure enough, that's a lot." β
Although it is a lot of money, compared to the check given to me by the Japanese, I don't mention the one from Tanimura, but the one from Yoshishima alone. He had only one-third of the cheques.
Yes, rough work, dirty work, no money.
Compared to killing a person and saving a person, the amount of money earned is much greater than this.
I asked AndrΓ©, "Why did you come to church?" β
Andrew: "It's a habit, every time before we work, we have to find a church to confess, and then, if there is no church, or if we don't want to come, we will hold a small ceremony ourselves. β
I said, "Is psychological comfort right?" β
Andrey: "Yes. β
"By the way, tell me what will become of the Francis family in the end."
Andre smiled: "They are white, and if there is a rejection mutation, then, according to their own genes, the virus in their body will become a virulent rabies virus." Next, for a period of time, their bodies will appear atavistic one after another, but don't worry, they will not turn into zombies, and reason and emotion will exist at the same time. It's just that the virus doesn't infect them, they're just carriers of the virus. β
I thought for a moment: "Do bodily fluids spread?" β
Andrey: "Yes, that is, if they sleep with someone, then the other person is unlucky, and it won't be long before they die of rabies infection." And if, they bite someone...... Huh"
Andrei smiled helplessly.
Me: "Terrible. β
Andrey: "So to clear. β
I thought for a moment and said, "Andrei, I know it's impossible to get you to give up this task. So, you are a Christian, and I, though not, am willing to make an agreement with you in this church. β
Andrei raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What agreement?" β
I said, "You go on with your work, I, save people!" β
Andrei thought about it, he smiled: "Interesting! β
I said, "During the mission, we are adversaries, each doing our own thing. β
Andrey: "Ok! Deal. β
I stretched out my hand, shook Andrei's hand and said, "Next, we don't have to be polite to each other, we will act whatever we want." Finally ......"
I paused and said, "No matter what the outcome is, if I'm still alive by the end of the mission, then I'd love to have a drink with you." β
Andrey: "It's decided! β
