5 The funeral of the believer
The angel Camille is coming, or, we can say, 'Ike' is coming.
It seems that Camille must have used some special methods to speed up the recovery of Ike's body, at this time, the former school officer looked healthy and strong, but his facial features were slightly displaced, "This is a necessary change." Camille explained, "so as not to be recognized, the rest, a good diet and rest." ”
There is no need to believe, saints, what will Sissi eat in Jehir's house? What will Gangaro eat and drink? Do you expect this angel to cook.
Zach was a little guessing about Camille's appearance, and thoughtfully led the way to the warehouse, "Look up. ”
Camille glanced at it, subconsciously moved his shoulder, and the light and shadow behind him trembled slightly, "It looks like it's in pain." ”
Zach shrugged and didn't respond.
"Is that an apostolic dagger?" Camille looked at the end of the dagger holding her wings in place, "I don't understand why the fallen angel is at a disadvantage in hell with such a weapon. ”
Zach couldn't answer the question, but could correct it, "Not a fallen angel, belonging to a demon hunter whose dagger was given to Father Constantine for safekeeping after being banished back to hell." Right now. "Zach sideways his head," to secure Crawley's wings. ”
Let's correct it again, Seth, this dagger does not belong to Seth, it was stolen by Seth from Newton Demon. I haven't forgotten.
"Oh. Camille didn't know what he was thinking, so he nodded for a long time and retracted his gaze, "How about the detective who accepted my gift (Mao)?"
"James?" Zach raised an eyebrow, "he's fine, thanks for the concern." ”
This problem is due to the fact that when Zach asked Camille for a gift for James, he said that James was troubled by the devil, and since an angel had been given a ride in James's car, how about it. So Camille plucked a hair in return for the opportunity. 'He's not going to be harassed by any demons anymore'.
Camille nodded, no longer in the warehouse, "I have something I want to ask you, Grande. ”
Didn't you just come to see the wings of the fallen angels?, Zach raised an eyebrow and walked out. Camille followed Ike's instructions and sat down on the bench in Grande's back porch.
"Before I say that, I want to say thank you. ”
"No thanks. "Not Zach to be polite. Pouting, no matter what's going on with the detective, he likes to let himself agree before he talks about things, "You said you wanted to ask for something, I decided to help, and it's not too late to thank you." ”
Camille was a little puzzled and glanced at Zack, "Thank you, for the sake of the Angry Waves, Sibella sent back the recovered Angry Waves." ”
"Oh!" Zach blinked. "Fury Waves recovered?"
"Not completely, the vanished soul mark can't be recovered, some of the witchcraft abilities are gone, but they won't continue to die after all. ”
Zach thought of John's description of the defense system of the Holy Lord's faith, combined with the disappearance of the 'barrier' in the north and south districts, and vaguely touched something, but he didn't want to delve into it, and shook his head. "I didn't do anything, thank you to Sbella. ”
"Sissi didn't give me this chance. Camille's tone was a little helpless. I don't understand why, but Sissi seems to be angry with the wizard even more. ”
Or the disappearance of the 'barrier'. Naive, Zach didn't bother to comment, "You said you had something to ask me." ”
"The soul of a believer. Camille began to say, "Judgment of faith has been received, Heaven." But he did not want to step into the gates of heaven. Camille shook her head helplessly, "I only have me and Sissi, and I can't keep the gates of heaven open in this world, waiting for him to enter." ”
We already know the rules for opening the gates of hell - because hell is a special timeline that divides the structure, the time of this world. Divided by the demons of hell, and the fallen angel Crowley, who only mastered it for five seconds. Curious about the rules for opening the Gates of Heaven?
Without Zach asking, Camille replied on his own, "You're a vampire, and it won't affect you anything." Heaven is the gap between the present and the future. It's bliss. ”
Zach was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to think.
"Every gate of heaven depends on the present, but it is separated from the next moment of the present, not the future, but only stuck in the gap of each moment of the 'now', because it is always different from the 'now', and can never continue into the next 'now', and achieves bliss. Can you understand? ”
"No, you can't. "Zach is direct. Can Madison, who writes stories, ever heard a saying that goes like this: 'There are no happy endings, only stories that end in good places'? This is Heaven, when the judgment of good and evil of faith is over, and the verdict of good is given, the soul is stripped of the timeline and fixed forever in this crevice of goodness.
Camille pursed his lips slightly, not disappointed, "My ability to describe can only allow me to explain like this, just remember the conclusion, I can't continue to open the door of heaven that changes every moment." ”
"I remembered. Zach pursed his lips, and some different knowledge was also a burden to know, "Please continue." ”
"What keeps this believer's soul stagnant is what makes me helpless. Camille shook his head, "He wants a traditional burial, but he's a man who doesn't express himself, his heart isn't conveyed to his family while he's alive, they're arranging cremation." ”
Zach raised his eyebrows again, it sounded, this is a matter of asking for Grande, it is really asking for 'Grande'!
"I was going to give up, even if Crowley's Cerberus had quit when the trial was over......"
"Wait. Zach interrupted, "Did you say that Crowley didn't take this soul in the first place?"
Camille glanced at Zach, "I said that this is a believer, and Crowley is also waiting for the outcome of the judgment of faith, and she naturally hopes that the final result is that the soul belongs to hell in the first place." ”
Zach understood, nodded, and chuckled to hide that he didn't know what to put on an expression.
But not as she had hoped, the believer belonged to heaven. Crowley probably gave it to me as a courtesy. Camille turned his head back to helplessness, "But I'm still ready to give up, he refuses to enter the door, and the Earth Bound Spirit is connected to his body, once cremated, he will not belong anywhere, only disappear and invisible." "A pause," but, some. I don't know how to describe what happened, his funeral was delayed, and I hesitated to wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait......"
Zach frowned, this. Where will it go?
"Then, today, his funeral has been transferred to your Grande's mill. "Uh, I fell somewhere inexplicable.
Zach pouted, our vampire never expected that a work consultation from Madison in the morning would end up in his hands in this way.
"We're talking to the moment now, your staff, called. Madison, right. Camille continued, "Signing a contract with Allen, the funeral home that used to handle the funeral, and the family of the believer, to complete the handover. Camille gave Zach a moment to think, "Once at Allen's funeral home, I couldn't do anything to help this believer's heart, and now I'm here at Grande. I have to try, right? ”
Zakra tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Yes, you're going to try. Now, call Madison and tell Grande headquarters to take over the funeral and ignore the family's request for the time they had already lost for the funeral. "To the request. "Do they have to give the deceased a traditional burial? ”
Camille looked down, probably thinking.
Zach stood up, the meaning had been clearly expressed, let Camille think about it slowly. Insist on asking Grande or give up, that's his business.
Now, Grande has a new guest, the very rare Mr. Walker, Steve. It's not an accidental visit, it's an appointment, and you haven't forgotten what happened yesterday Sunday night. That's right, the [Bobo Bar] party of the gray profession. And Zach has not forgotten the little things that he noticed in the events of last week, Mo has no identity.
So, Zach brings it up at the party and invites Steve to come to Grande to meet Mo, a republican woman, so that he can buy a proper identity.
"I thought you'd come over sooner. Without blaming, Zach greeted the Indoan merchant with a smile, "You're shrewd, you can have dinner." ”
Steve smiled a little bitterly, shook his head and glanced at Camille sitting on the bench, I know, but Ike he knows, Ike also bought a new identity, haven't forgotten, "It's really not appropriate to rub a big customer for a meal." "It's a joke," but, hey, don't blame me, for being delayed. ”
Zach waved his hand and nodded at Camille, meaning that I was going to greet the guests, and gestured to the second floor, "Go to the office, Matthew, where is Mo?"
Matthew, who had been repairing tools at the edge of the warehouse just now, shook his head, "I don't know, I should go out for a walk with Hank and Kim." ”
Zach didn't ask too much, because a pinch of Danny's colored light had already drifted away, and it shouldn't be long before Ink would be called back.
Zach continued to signal, directing the way upstairs.
"Za, Zack......" Matthew put down his tools and walked over quickly.
Zach looked back, looked at Matthew with a look of something to say, and waved his hand at Steve, meaning to go up first, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, that's the believer you just talked about. Glancing at Camille, "Yes, is that Mr. Gallagher?"
Zach raised an eyebrow, "You heard that?"
Matthew blushed and pointed to his ear, "I, that, didn't mean ......to eavesdrop"
Aconite soup. Zach remembered, thanks to this thing from Maez's girlfriend, Grande's two werewolf sensory outbursts have been continued, and the side effect is that Grande's toilet has been washed very frequently these days, green urine, remember.
Zach waved his hand, "It's okay, you know this Mr. Gallagher?"
"Yes. Matthew nodded, "A nice old gentleman who goes to church a lot. My father said he had been dead for more than a week, but there was no news about the funeral arrangements. ”
Camille looked up at Matthew, the surprise of the assist.
Zach pursed his lips, "Is this, uh, Mr. Gallagher, famous?" ”
"No, it's not, uh. Matthew didn't seem to know how to express it, "He's just a nice old gentleman, he doesn't talk much, but he often helps other people, and everyone likes him." When he was sick, the church also prepared a fundraiser to help him pay for his medical expenses. ”
"Heart. Camille added, "He had a good life, but he was not wealthy, he was very old, and it was a common disease." ”
Zach moved his lips, "Does anyone know that his family is going to be cremated?"
"Uh, I don't know. I mean, nobody seems to know, uh, it's not known that it's going to be cremation......"
Zach waved his hand, "I know what you mean." ”
"Oh. "Matthew was honestly a little dumb," said his father, adding that if the funeral was set, he would have to go and say goodbye to the gentleman. ”
Zach thought for a moment and looked at Camille, "If what he wants is a funeral, it doesn't conflict with cremation, I've heard that Ford added a farewell ceremony before cremation, except that there is no burial ceremony and cemetery, it is no different from a traditional funeral." ”
As a funeral operator, Zach is talking about the changes in the industry after the introduction of cremation.
"That's the difference. Camille shook her head, "He wants a farewell that ends with only his loved ones." "The burial ceremony," and not ending up as a tin pot in a cupboard, he wanted his descendants to have a place to remember and commemorate his existence. "Cemetery," he wanted a tombstone with the definition of his life from the living, a beloved husband, a dearest father, a dear grandfather...... He wanted these, cremated, and couldn't be satisfied. ”
A funeral that was full of people who came voluntarily couldn't really satisfy a final sense of belonging to this world, and finally returned to these people who called home.
Zach nodded silently and glanced at Camille, "Well, in the end, he returned to the original starting point, and you said that he couldn't convey this wish alive." So ......" and then Zach didn't continue, returning the issue back to Camille again.
Walk into Grande and go to see Steve.
"I have a question. Camille stood up and stopped Zach, "As Barton's last funeral home with a cemetery, did you give options when planning the funeral?"
Zach looked back, "Be specific." ”
"When you go to other funeral homes, you don't have much choice but cremation. But now that you've arrived at the Grande, although it's a branch mill, at least it's still with the Grande sign, shouldn't you make the choice you can make, burial, or cremation, and let the customer choose for himself? ”
Zach pondered on the stairs for a moment, "From a business perspective, it makes sense. Smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll call Madison." ”
"Make sure to repeat the distinction I just said. Camille reminded.
Zach waved his hand, "I'll paraphrase it word for word." "It's a promise.
In the end, this is just an attempt to make an effort, the deceased has passed away, and the heart that could not be conveyed has also passed away, and the final decision is still with the living.
What? You say that these aliens are capable of conveying the hearts of the deceased, and what kind of righteousness are they pretending to be here?
All right. This is a groundbound spirit who could go to heaven but is stranded in this world for personal reasons. Vampire, Zach has no obligation, it's not righteousness, it's none of my business, all kinds of levels.
As for Camille, at this time, Barton was able to open the gates of Heaven for a groundbound spirit was already the limit of what he could do as an angel. This is not a joke, read the holy scriptures, he, as an angel, is not described as a depraved, sinful demon, and any more he does is a miracle based on God, a manifestation of faith, and a sign that the Lord guides people to let go of the world. It's a pity, Camille said, the Holy Lord is gone. By whom Camille appeared to the world, you? (To be continued.) )
