Chapter 11: The Devil and the Priest

It was pitch black behind the Church of the Holy Son, and these low-level demons, who were not with Crowley, but were still under Crowley's control, were praying in a circle, and when the prayer was over, it was time for them to go to sleep. ⊕★, → x. needs to be reminded that it's not even nine o'clock yet.

Crowley's routine follows the sun! It's very, very relaxing now!

After the chorus of 'Amen', Mike raised his head and scanned the humble courtyard, watching the demons disperse and return to his room, but he had no intention of going back. There was a hint of impatience on his face, and he looked at the stars in the night sky, not knowing what he was thinking. Of course, no demon dared to correct him, and told him that it was time to go to bed.

Soon he was left alone in the courtyard, and he was waiting, waiting for Grande's men to pick him up.

When he returned to Grande from Mary's Chapel, Mike Ben wasn't ready to settle down in the Church of the Holy Child so early. But they have already discovered that Grande has a guest, Louise's friend Susan. It seems like a troublesome thing to introduce, but what kind of identity should a priest use to live in the Grande House?

In addition, Zach was going to visit James after dinner, and Mike, who knew that James didn't like demons, didn't want to go with him.

So Mike came to the Church of the Holy Child first, and after settling down, he waited for Grande to pick him up. He still has a mission to help Grande find the escaped filmmaker. He silently counted the time, and Zach and Benjamin went to James's house, explained everything, comforted James's frustrated heart, and came back to pick him up, almost ten o'clock.

Mike believes that Zach is able to portray the devil in this matter a little more innocently, without adding to the impression that James is already bad. It's mainly because of this that Mike feels like he's better not to show up. When a qiē are solved, in showing themselves to contribute. That should save James a bit.

For more than an hour, Mike was a little irritable, and he stood in the courtyard and counted the time. Yes, the demon was not in a good mood, because Konstantin did not seem to like his arrival. This is a huge gap from the friendship he expects with Konstantin.

"Pastor. Konstantin's voice came from the back door of the church. The devil's routine is the devil's routine, and Constantine will not be constrained by Crowley, his routine is still normal for modern people.

Konstantin stood at the back door, sighed, and changed his title, "Mike, can we talk?"

"Father. Mike still retained the proper etiquette, and he looked at Constantine with some complications, he had a good impression of this human. But the other side is not like this. Mike walked to the church and was led by Konstantin into the priest's office.

The office is decorated in the same simple style as Konstan's room, with different editions of the Holy Book on the shelves on the walls, some of which are very old and published in a time far from the time in which Konstantin lived. This means that the priest understood the Holy Bishop much more than modern people, and the Holy Scriptures have undergone numerous revisions. It ended up being what it is now.

Behind the not wide table, Konstantin sat on a wooden chair. He frowned, as if thinking about something, shook his head slightly, and looked at Mike opposite, "Mike, I'm sorry for what I said earlier." ”

When Mike carried his own salute. When he appeared in the Church of the Holy Child full of anticipation, Constantine angrily rebuked Mike in front of him: 'Why did you come!Crowley promised!The Church of the Holy Child is mine!She will not interfere and influence my church!Is she lying to a spokesman (priest) of the Holy Lord?!Has she lost her glory and faith?!'

When a priest is angry, you don't want to explain, you just start to blame yourself after seeing the priest's disappointed face. It's a wonderful feeling, as if automatic. Everyone will think that the priest is right and irrefutable.

Mike is like that, so his love has always been very low, far away from Konstantin's side, not wanting to upset him.

Mike looked at Constantine's expression, he knew that he was not the one sent by Crowley to influence the church, and he hoped that he could take action to make Constantine feel relieved. But now, it seems, he can explain in words, "Father, I have only come to live here, and I will not interfere in anything in the Church of the Son. ”

Konstantin barely put a smile on his face, "I know, I'm just a little tired lately. Konstantin paused, "When people are at a low ebb, they are prone to make mistakes. He looked into Mike's eyes, "I'm still human." ”

Mike pursed his lips as he pondered the priest's words, he already understood, "I can help, I think I can convince Crowley not to be in such a hurry." ”

Konstantin nodded, but the expression on his face was not very comforting, he didn't seem to want to talk about it, "So in the future, will you stay here?" Konstantin's smile relaxed at this time, "That's fine, I need someone who can control those demons." They seem to have their own set of rules. Konstantin's face became helpless, "You don't have to wipe the tables and chairs every hour, and you don't have to keep sweeping the floor......"

Konstantin shook his head, "It's a very small church, and they're all over the place. This was already a complaint, but the priest spoke slowly and calmly, "Only now can I have a little quiet." ”

Mike also smiled helplessly, "That's Crowley's rule." She didn't allow them to stop, monotonous labor was the easiest way to exercise, and she hoped that these low-level demons would have enough control power. ”

Konstantin's mood seemed to improve, "Okay. He shook his head with a smile. The self-control of low-level demons is very poor, and the most obvious feature is that they will unconsciously spread their pupils, and their eyes are occupied by inky black, which is a bad thing to expose their identity. So Konstantin has nothing to complain about.

"I can keep them at work without disturbing you. Mike said with a smile.

"No, let them go about as usual. Konstantin smiled, "I see you have two ceremonial chests, are you going to live in Grande too?"

Mike nodded, "Well, Zach agreed that I could have a room in Grande too." I'm also waiting for them to pick me up. Mike gave Konstantin an apologetic look, "Crowley has told me that I am going to deal with something with them. Obviously, the specifics, Mike is not prepared to say.

Konstantin didn't mind, but nodded with some regret, "I originally planned for you to accompany me to Patton Prison, if you have something, then don't bother you." ”

Mike was a little curious, "What's going on over there?"

Konstantin didn't mean to hide it, and organized the language, "You know there's a hunter in the prison. ”

Mike nodded, Crowley knew from James's soul about the hunter who was going to be executed in early autumn, so he also knew, as for how he knew, don't pursue it, anyway, we already know that Mike and Crowley have a special relationship.

"When Seth left prison, he was grumpy. Konstantin frowned, a little hesitant to say what was next, "And, although he didn't say it explicitly, he seemed to think I was a demon." ”

Mike asked with some concern, "Does he want to hurt you?" Reasonable concern, hunter to demon.

Konstantin shook his head, "That's the strange thing, he doesn't seem to have any ill will towards me, but respects me very much. Konstantin's brow furrowed, "It's just for me, it's very bad for other cellmates and even prison guards." ”

Konstantin handed over a note in front of him, "This is a call from the prison just now, he injured his fellow inmates during dinner, was confined and then began to threaten and try to commit suicide, the only request was to let me go." ”

Mike looked at the note, Konstantin's words were unexpectedly ugly, each letter was like a fight with each other, and the horizontal and vertical turns invaded and interspersed with each other. Mike identified it for a long time, only to realize that it was just a record of the incident.

After a difficult read, Mike looked at Konstantin, "What do you think ......"

"I think he wants to be a demon. Konstantin exhaled slightly before he uttered the words, "I think he's gone too far on the road to revenge, and his target is clearly Grande." ”

There was a hint of sadness on Konstantin's calm face, "So I think if you can, you should check it out." I can't stop what he wants, but I also don't want to create an enemy for Grande myself. ”

At Constant's words, Mike frowned. He liked the House of Grande, and neither did Constantine, but this priest, this human, didn't seem to want to face such tangled troubles. So he's passing on this trouble to Mike, who is in the same situation - in Crowley's forces and likes Grande at the same time.

"I should go. Mike thought for a moment and finally nodded, "After all, he's going to be one of my people, and I should be evaluated." I think Crowley would also wish I could get to know the person better. ”

Konstantin nodded and gently pushed the phone in front of him in front of Mike. Konstantin was unusually direct, which was signaling Mike to call Grande to put off the original matter.

Mike is also very direct, the expression on his face has become hollow, the ink black is scattered in his eyes, and if you look closely, you can see that in this ink black, there is red rolling in the flickering light, he is informing Crowley.

After a few moments, Mike closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were back to normal. Picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Grand House.

The call wasn't long, and Ben was worried about what reason he had to put off his plan.

But unexpectedly, Louise on the other side of the phone said sorry first, and Zach and Benjamin changed their plans because of James's unexpected visit and went with James.

Mike pursed his lips, "It's okay, I'll wait at the Church of the Holy Child when I need me." "Hang up. (To be continued......)
