29 Thimble and piety

It wasn't until the lunch was over for Grande's and the other human guests that Alice's girls finally came out of the room.

really didn't stop for a moment, he grabbed a boy and left Grande, even Matthew, who had just worshiped with his father in the morning and came to work normally in the afternoon.

Anyway, the gang is gone, probably to make up for the missed trip to the meeting yesterday that did not visit Mr. Pixar, and to Sbella and Hamilton.

Some are leaving, and some are returning. Russell is back. As soon as he came back, he squirmed and found Zach to apologize, which sounded quite sincere - "I, I'm so, too nervous, I haven't lied to the police in my life......" Zach didn't say anything, and pointed out the person to Charlie for comfort. This kind of thing, sure enough, Logan's ex-criminal is easier to deal with.

The other one who came back, who was Danny and is now Father Danse's...... Phantom man, cherubim, whatever.

The reason, is that at noon, the prison asked for the phone number of the Church of the Holy Son-

There was no service in the Church of the Son because no one was there, as everyone knows. But every priest in the Church of the Son, starting with Constantine, and now, oh, Father Eric, who is in a special situation, has the habit of going to the prison to preach to the prisoners on this day.

Father Danse, I didn't go.

But before Zach can talk about Father Danse, Zach has a bit of his own business to deal with. After Alice and the others left the room, Sissi gave Zack something and was now looking at it in Zack's hand.

Do you know the thimble? The kind of metal stuff from the tailor's belt. Yes, with fingers, wider than the ring, and all over the body of the pit.

Zach pinched the metal object and flipped it over. As if in response to Zack's scrutiny, a circle of crimson incantations lit up in the inner circle.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Sam?"

"It's me. ”

"Ugh. Zack didn't know what he was expecting, but after all, because of Anthony's remarks that the wooden soul puppet would hurt Zack, Zack felt that even if he combined the abilities of two banshees, he couldn't make a body, at least get rid of the restrictions of things. As a result, it's still such a thing that you have to carry yourself?

"Don't be disappointed. Take me with you. ”

"Please put it another way. Zach commented, but gestured the thimble in front of his finger, feeling that the diameter was made for the middle finger. Strap it on and it fits perfectly. Zach was quiet for a moment, looking at his middle finger, "And then? Should I go get a needle threaded or something...... Tsk!"

Zack pressed his middle finger, and the sudden stinging pain was already reflected on his face, not that Zack's expression control failed, it was really, really, it hurt. I felt like my fingers were being pricked by a thousand needles in an instant. You can try it.

The bright red begins to penetrate, filling the small pits on the thimble. For example, after normal human exercise, the beads of sweat that emerge from the enlarged pores on the skin. It's just that the stuff on Zack's middle finger, the hole, is denser than the pores.

Zach was completely confused, watching his fingers bleed and forgetting to do healing. The bright red covered the entire knuckle, and the thimble was completely buried under the bright red, and it was not visible.

"So......" Zach looked at his innocent injured finger, "Anthony told you not to hurt me, and that's your solution." "Zach is hurting right now.

"Let's go to the backyard. Sam actually said, "Let's attack something." Well, soul alien, Ryan. ”

Zach frowned, but was still obedient, and walked down the back porch to the center of the backyard.

"The way vampires fight with soul aliens is-" Sem didn't want to complain about his vampire, so the rest of the words were given to Zack.

Zach didn't have any emotional changes, since the birth of vampires, everyone has done this, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and raised his hand at Ryan who didn't know what was going on. A flash of bright red flew out of Zack's fingers and sank into Ryan's body.

Ryan was indifferent for three seconds. He did it on purpose, he had been with Grande for so long, and Zach had sprinkled blood on him. The pain for a while can be endured, anyway, he relies on the underground soul-attracting grass seeds, and he is not afraid of being corroded to death. Zach can't be allowed to get what he wants. Ryan is just so naïve that there's nothing to say.

But only for three seconds.

Ryan's translucent face just took on a horrified expression. It's like collapsing. The boundary between the body and the world is like a boulder thrown into the water, torn apart after a violent shock. The flickering bright red, the soul mark, disintegrated from the leaky body, and just about to diverge, it drifted away, absorbed by the spell that lit up on the ground, and shrank into the ground.

Zach blinked, "Ryan, are you still alive?"

The ground didn't give Zach an answer. The answer was 'Zach middle finger', "He's still alive, and I'm not ready to kill Sbella's son." ”

"Sam. "Zach looked at the ground, and the vampire was completely unaware of Ryan's presence, but the Soul Grass seed was still there, so he believed that Sem was fine," explained. Zach knew very well that his blood could not have such a powerful effect.

"It's me. Sem began to explain, "I told you a long time ago that I was good at soul witchcraft. ”

"Witchcraft?" Zach looked at his middle finger, which was still bleeding, and now it was not that Zach didn't want to heal, but that he couldn't. Apparently, the inner ring of the thimble has a mechanism embedded in Zach's fingers, constantly sucking Zack's blood to fill in those dense pits to cover the entire finger. Healing is hindered - Toredo is not Zmich, and Zach can't grow this thimble into his body. "I don't see you using witchcraft. ”

"Because it's hidden in the blood you threw out. ”

"Oh~" Zach raised his eyebrows, who would have thought that the red (witchcraft spells are crimson, vampire blood, too) standing on opposite sides four centuries ago and attacking each other, could come together and hide from each other. It's not an extraordinary reason, it's just that the color is the same......

"Let's attack something else. Sem continued, disembodied, but could tell from his pause that he was thinking about his next target, "Well, you can call Charlie." ”

"You're not going to let me pierce Charlie's heart, are you? Zach didn't move. Fools can imagine that the current Sem is proud to demonstrate his own functions. Ryan forget it, Charlie, Zach still cares more. Such a dangerous presentation, just use the words, "You just say it." ”

"Okay. Sam agreed, "You use the Lower Blood Control Technique." ”

Zach complied. At first, it didn't have much effect, it seemed that Zack's middle finger was dripping blood a little slower. But, after that, the blood began to congage on Zack's middle finger.

This seems to be the image of Eli's highest achievement in blood control skills, but it makes Zach confused, "And then?" Georgina once said that blood control to the end can stop the blood loss of the severed limb and heal, and allow the vampire to complete the battle without losing his existing strength. But Zach was skeptical that this suppression of blood loss from one middle finger would have any effect on the fight.

But soon, Zach shivered plainly.

"I feel it. ”

Zach's face was uncontrollable...... Disgusted, "I felt it." You're in my body. That's what it means literally. Sam, in Zach's body!

"I know you're not feeling well, but, if you untie the blood control, your blood starts flowing again. I would die in an instant. ”

"It didn't make me feel comfortable in the slightest. Zach didn't say anything, and at the same time, Zach crouched down and pressed his hands to the muddy, wet, and slightly bouncy ground (snow). It's not Zach who controls it.

"Now, look. Sam reminded Zach.

Zach can't do anything but look. Too many firsts have happened to Zack. As a vampire, a soul invaded his body? Zach didn't know how to react.

Then, something that would have brought shame to both the faith of the Lord and the belief in witchcraft at the same time happened. Behold, the vampires are using witchcraft—

The snow on the ground, on the crimson ground, rises in reverse direction, and meets the snowflakes falling from the sky~

"Zach!!What are you doing!!"

It was old Hank shouting from the window of the living quarters.

Zach stood up before more people appeared in the window on Old Hank's side, his face complicated, and the blood from his middle finger had flowed again, but the red of the blood was no longer covering the thimble. When all the red drips from the tips of the middle fingers, Zach removes the thimble. He pursed his lips and looked at it for a while, then stopped talking and put Sem in his pocket.

"We still have something to talk about. Sem was still talking, "Sissi who came in the morning has been disturbing Alice and Maya's transformation of me. I think she wants to steal our work and use it on her wizard (Fury Waves). ”

Zach pursed his lips and recalled the look on Sissi's face when she handed her the thimble—the roll of her eyes. I don't feel like I need to worry about it for the time being. Towards Father Dans, who was waiting on the back porch, he did not respond to Sam.

Sem continued, "There's also the resurgence of death after the soul swells, and I have sorted out John's research, and I think I have a theory. ”

That's something Zach wants to hear, but Zach doesn't want to talk to a wizard who has just used his body right now—it takes time for complex emotions to settle in. Before Dans stood up, which was a sign that the next phase of the conversation was about to begin, he said to Sam, "Conclusion. ”

"It's not a conclusion, it's just a theory. The bus case was fatal because there were humans, drivers and conductors in the city of Barton on the bus. The resurgence of death at Back Bay University (eliminated by Black Cat Cookies) is due to the fact that the person who blew himself up was someone who lived in Barton. At the very least, his life has reached the point where he needs to attend a ridiculous rally in order to express his attitude towards life. I don't know about the 'General' side. But on our side of Grande, there is no resurrection of death, because the man who blew himself up, just came out of Tsmich's body, and his only expression to the world is a smile at you. ”

Zach froze for a moment as Dans stood up. I don't know if you have ever thought about a question, when a newborn baby dies, will there be a recurrence of death? Do babies have the ability to distinguish between life and death? Do babies question their own qualifications for life and death because they are confused and confused?

Dance had been waiting for a long time, and he didn't notice Zach's stunned look, "I don't want to go to jail. ”

Zach could only change his mood, "Why?"

"I accompanied Eric to the prison when he was still there. You don't understand, there are very devout believers in the Holy Lord in prison......" Dans looked distressed, "They firmly believe in the so-called salvation, but I know it! Especially now, I know very well that it is false! The judicial judgment of mankind will not affect the outcome of the judgment of faith at all. "It's true, Sissi said it, not the original words, but in this sense, recall what Sissi said to James, how the Holy Lord used 'exemplary' to define the standard for the human soul to go to heaven and hell, and how this standard has changed with the times, "Any salvation that man does while he is alive is just a deception created by faith in order to obtain souls! Everything is just about how much man obeys the doctrine of the faith! You obey enough! You go to heaven, you don't obey enough! Hell!"

Zach glanced at Danse and didn't speak, but his eyes were, you don't have to say it so bluntly - the belief in the Holy Lord has created an illusion of judging good and evil by piety, and in general, this standard is not problematic, and there is no need to use the truth to discourage the enthusiasm of those who are pious.

Dance should have received Zack's eyes, and was a little more excited, "I don't want those people to go to heaven! I don't want those people to become the desire of faith in the future to dominate my behavior! I don't want to ......" Danse's face was constipated, "I don't want to kill the republicans inexplicably!"

Zach frowned, "The Republican affair is over. While neither Dans nor Eric have yet to explain much, "Why do you think those people in prison are influencing you?" may be explained now.

"What do you think is the source of the desire to purge the republican heresy of faith?!" Dans was a little overly excited, "It's the prison! It's the closed space! We can see the faces of the republicans on the streets a lot now! But do you think you can see the republicans alive in a place like the prison that has no contact with the outside world?!"

Zach's face became a little solemn, "What do you mean?" Are you saying that the people in prison who are devout in their faith have absolute resistance to the republic?"

"Of course they have! Do you know where these outgoing prisoners went to work before Aethra got out of the Grande halfway house?"

"How do I know. Zach pouted.

"Hermann Factory! Uh, you know what the people in prison do in their usual jobs? They only make license plates! The reemployment activities that they have been trained for most of their time in prison are for the Hermann Factory!"

Zach felt a little far away, "What does it have to do with their hatred of republics." ”

"Of course there is! The factory is gone! Now all the jobs that Barton advocates are related to the trade of the Republic!" "Outside, we have evening schools, we have newspapers, news, and all kinds of channels for people to get in touch with, learn, and adapt to the industries related to the Republic. But in prison! nothing!"

Zach looked at Danse, "So those people are wasted when they get out of prison." What they want to enter is not a new era in which many years have passed, but a new world. ”

"Yes, people, will be afraid!!Faith, responded!"

Those who brutally tortured the republic, beheaded ...... The source, it turned out to be a group of pious prisoners, would they be afraid......

Zach was silent.
