Chapter 32: A Certain 'Person'
"Do you know what I've been doing these days?" Crowley asked Zach with a smile.
The content of the problem is these days, because before that, Crowley's behavior had been seen in the newspapers - riots in the southeast of the North End. She herself, as Zach put it, 'walking around without a container,' and that's just for a few days.
"You went to 'harass' Anthony, our mayor. Zach laughed and said, "'Intimidate' our little detectives, 'snooping' our neighbors." The smile on Zach's face was even more interesting, as if it was a funny thing to deliberately 'misnerate' the other person's description, and finally, "Now, you're still 'tail-line-'I'm here.'" β
"Hehehe. Crowley smiled, her heart hurt a little when the vampire said this, "Let it be so." Let me tell you the real thing, in the order in which it happened. β
"When I approached Anthony and was about to say goodbye, I felt my men killed...... "Crowley began the real narrative.
After leaving James, the image of the man who killed the demon had been imprinted in Crowley's mind, although the face seen was incomplete, and it was impossible to confirm the appearance at all, but the other party's clothes, Crowley was very familiar, which was the most common clothing for priests and priests.
Crowley's movements were not slow, and knowing that the other party was a clergyman, she began to investigate. It can be said that the demon did the same thing as James after noon on Saturday, which was to find out the identity of that man. It's just that Crowley's actions don't have James to deal with the troubles of Curson, nor the entanglement of being a human police detective, her actions are much faster!
But she already controlled the church in Barton City, and obviously didn't find the person she was looking for in her control. At that time, there was only one church that she had never touchedβthe Church of the Holy Son in the south of Barton, west of the Grand House.
So Crowley naturally sent someone to the Church of the Holy Son, as for who Zack may not know, but Matthew and Matthew's father Joseph must know - the priest of the South End Gospel Church, the priest who was found by Benjamin and injured.
The end was already revealed, and the priest retreated. The opponent is armed with a weapon capable of killing souls, a dagger. The poor guy who was killed in the southeast of the North Side was killed by this weapon.
Then, Crowley went herself.
You can think that Crowley is for insurance, so she temporarily wronged herself and entered a lucky or unfortunate nun. So the nun was sick, and her body contained a fallen angel soul that was too powerful to bear the burden.
Of course, the point is not here, the point is that Crowley passes by the person she is looking for. In a short gap, the man left the Church of the Holy Child and was expelled by the real ruler of the church, Father Constantine.
Without curiosity, it would be impossible. So Crowley temporarily lingered with the nuns of the Church of the Holy Child, enjoying the care of Louise, who did not belong to the church and was a member of the Grande House. Of course, in addition to the curiosity of the Grande House, Crowley's curiosity is one more thing, the priest of the church - Constantine.
"You're neighbors, what kind of person is he?" Crowley asked Zach abruptly as she said this.
The vampire was not surprised, there were some things he could faintly perceive, but the priest had always been deceitful with the House of Grande. Now when Zach was asked to describe the priest, he could only say, "A good man." "It's not nutritious.
Crowley smiled and raised an eyebrow, "You're right, at least he spent an afternoon trying to persuade me to leave his nun." β
Zach smiled and persuaded that Father Constantine was such an interesting person.
Of course, after seeing Louise through the eyes of a nun, Crowley did not listen to Constantine's persuasion and continued to stay in the nun's body, because Louise promised that she would come to take care of her tomorrow. It's a lot of fun to talk to Louise, that's what Crowley said.
She always seems to be able to confide in people inadvertently. When you're just about to notice what you've said, she always deflects your attention so that you don't feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. β
Zach had a smug look on his face, and when he was talking to James, asking about the itinerary of everyone in Louise's Church of the Child, Louise's detailed answers were apparently obtained in this way that Crowley found interesting.
During her time in the Church of the Holy Son, Crowley was not able to form an effective communication with Constantine, and the priest did not reveal anything to the demon. It wasn't that long ago that events changed again.
Crowley sensed a little change, from the barrier she had set up.
"When I found out that you and the werewolves were looking for Neil and Daphany," Crowley organized her words, "I put a barrier in their souls' memories so that the information of Hell would not be leaked. β
Zach shook his head disdainfully, "Your methods are really not complimentary. You have completely disrupted the index order in their soul imprints, and the confusion and blockage of their memories have directly led to their insanity. β
Crowley smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll admit it. If I had your eyes, I could do better. β
Zach laughed, taking it as a compliment again.
But this time it's really a compliment, memory in the soul and *, are two completely different things. In the brain, memory is memory, and in the soul, that is the imprint of the connection between the soul and *.
We can't say that vampires and demons are both abilities that target memory, and who is higher and who is lower. Because just like Crowley did to James, Crowley can invade each other's souls and see all the memories. And Zach can only use the eyes of charm to let people 'take the initiative' to say it, if he encounters a guy who doesn't understand the language, Zach will have nothing to do.
Then, in terms of memory-altering techniques, the vampire's enchanting pupils are much stronger. At least in Zach's long life, he hasn't been deranged by the eyes of charm.
And poor Neil and Daphne, when Crowley 'closed and locked' the connection mark in their souls, all their memories were pulled and turned into knotted chains, and they were abolished, and they could not take care of themselves from then on.
Even when someone tries to help them straighten out the source of the knotted chains, the barriers that don't belong to this world will come back against those who want to help, such as a vampire's burned eyes. The ability to only use it once is incomparable to the Charm Pupil.
"However, now there is nothing to worry about, the problem is solved. Crowley narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, "Someone has opened my barricades and cut off the mark from when they were first dragged into Hell. β
Zach frowned, and Crowley said something funny.
"Although the soul was severely damaged because it was forcibly cut off. But they have returned to normal, and after a period of recuperation, they will return to normal. Crowley continued.
"You think it's the same person?" Zach asked.
Crowley nodded as a matter of course, but immediately asked, "Man? β
Zach thought for a moment and concluded, "So he's not just a witcher, he's a demon himself. β
Why is this concluded? Because Zach had already said in James's conversation that if the witchers would banish the angels from heaven, then they would be truly just. Obviously, they are not like this, allowing such irony to hold.
Unjust hearts, paired with their faith, they are doomed to hell.
Being able to open Crowley's barrier already shows that the other party is no longer a creature in this world. Then the answer is very smooth.
One is that the demon witcher appeared in Barton, for some unknown reason, he lived peacefully in Barton City, only killed a small character who caused a riot, and even injured the priest who came to investigate, and now there is the equivalent of curing Neil and Daphany for Crowley.
Zach smiled and shook his head, "Are you finished?" glanced at Crowley, who was still thinking, "Although it happened in our city, I still don't know what it has to do with me." β
Crowley pursed her lips, "It's just for now, one day, you'll care." Like the old ......," Crowley recalled, "Mr. and Mrs. Wind, is that the name? I don't know all about what happened between you, but judging from what James knows, one day, such a person will come into our lives. β
Zach narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded. The analogy is apt, even in witchcraft beliefs, there is heaven and hell similar to the Holy Bishop, but the differentiation is not so clear. If the Dead Apostles and the Black Witch are demons, then stopping this qiΔ Silbera is considered a witcher.
The current Zach just has a feeling of watching a play because the other party has no impact on Grande. In fact, he has found the other person involved in his life, just as Alice actually walked into Grande because of Sbella. Zach can also think that the peace of the Grande House during this time was under the protection of Constantine, and the priest obviously reached some agreement with the other party not to disturb the Grande House.
The priest's words were over. The priest also found that this was a time to change too quickly, and wanted the Grande House to be able to stabilize its footing and think about the future?
"So, what do you want to do?" Zach smiled as he looked at Crowley.
"Not ready to do anything. Crowley's face suddenly became a little complicated, with a hint of disdain, a hint of hesitation, and a hint of indifference, "I will only take the incident in the North District as a statement that he expresses his existence." Crowley leaned back, "I'm almost getting used to life in this city, let's see how it develops in the future." β
Zach raised an eyebrow, and his evaluation of Crowley rose a little more.
