20 is not important
Don't be too surprised, Ethella couldn't possibly keep the evidence of her dirty tactics in her own hands, and it was impossible for Susan, a woman with a special profession, to keep the evidence threatening a Southern Police chief in her own home. So, Zach was ready to go to a place that Susan thought was safe and hidden.
And where is this place? It's Crawley's Mary's Chapel. Hehe.
Zach looked at Crowley, who was feeding pigeons in the church backyard, with mixed feelings, "Are you idle?"
"Not at all. Crowley replied, "It's just that if you don't feed it now, you may not see it later." ”
"Are you going to eat them? Zach asked coldly.
Crowley looked at Zach in surprise, "What do you think, it's autumn, aren't they going to fly away?"
"Pigeons don't have this habit. Zach pouted, speechless, the fallen angel is like this, it was created by the Holy Lord, not from the 'promotion' of people, and there is no common sense about this world. The only thing they know about this world is people, and it's not that they actively want to understand, they are forced, forced by the Holy Lord. Some resisted a little, but lost, and forever added 'fall' in front of the angels, becoming the first demons.
Crowley pinched a handful of breadcrumbs, oh, and frowned, not knowing what she was looking at left and right, "Why didn't anyone tell me this." ”
"Where's your container, Jessica. Zach really didn't want to pay attention to this, but he still had to remind Crowley, "It's okay, don't show up, you have a container and an identity, you are a citizen of Barton, self-focused." ”
"No one will see me. Crowley casually raised her hand in the direction of the church, and the service was in progress, "I spend most of my time here, and I don't go out, what are I doing with Jessica tied." Crowley couldn't get any more patience to scatter the pigeon in front of her, and looked at Zach with a raised eyebrow. "Unless you want me to use her body to talk to you~"
Crowley's hand pressed against her chest. See what she means. Her vessel, Jessica, can hear the sins in the hearts of others.
Zach chuckled and shook his head, "I'm her 'Mr. Hundred', she likes me, I'm okay with that." ”
Remember that chance encounter in Ixton? During the investigation of the Siren's spontaneous combustion (XXII, 28, Zach encounters Jessica cooking food for the homeless man in Ixton).
"I know about your little encounter. Crowley clapped her hands and brushed away the fine crumbs. I don't know what the point of her doing this is. Anyway, she didn't use the container and it was solved, why do you have to be so anthropomorphic? "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for 'sending' such a rare container to me." ”
In the Chapman incident, Zach asked Jessica to run, only to end up in Crowley's arms.
"No thanks. Zach pouted. Because he remembered that he had also given the angel's container, Ike compared it to Jessica...... You can't really tell the difference between the good and the bad. A guy who has been a crazy woman for most of his life, and a guy who was persecuted to death by the Demon Feast. If these two guys, who belong to the two poles of the Holy Lord's faith, want to treat such a container as a treasure, Zach will have nothing to say.
Zach didn't want to continue wasting time with Crowley, "I'm looking for Sister XX and I know where she lives. Do I go by myself, or do you lead the way? ”
Anyway, this is Crowley's territory, and Zack's host-guest etiquette. There's really nothing to be picky about.
"I'll lead the way. Crowley smiled and walked ahead.
The living area at the rear of the church is large. But not all of them were rooms for the clergy, and a small half of them were once Patton's penitentiary for orphans.
After the war, the number of war orphans decreased, and the orphanage under the Quinn group was the reason for the delay in the funeral of the Donner family before the Southern District...... Belch. Don't talk far--
After the war, the orphanage's 'resources' were reduced, so he took over the orphans in the name of an official institution, and the correctional home behind the church was idle. Occasionally contain poor people who have lost their motivation for life. There is a more sacred saying. Let the light of faith ignite the fire of their lives.
Oh yes, you should have guessed that Susan and Louise are almost the same, they are both orphans, but unfortunately they are not war orphans, and they are 'unworthy' to enjoy the Quininn-style charity they once had, so they can only grow up in a correctional home. The person Susan trusted to store the negatives was the nun who raised her to adulthood, and the name will not be said, everyone knows, anyway, it is just a body of the demon now, and it doesn't matter.
Crowley didn't take Zach to the address Susan had given her. Instead, he went to the old penitentiary.
Zach saw a lot of busyness.
The nuns and some priests shuttled among the ragged people, making beds, handing out clothes, serving tea and water, and even scrubbing the bodies of the immobile.
But the facilities in the penitentiary were so old that many people were huddled by the wall with blankets and waited for the nuns to come.
What Zach saw was a malaise in his eyes, and sickness.
Zach frowned, "What's going on. ”
"It rained for more than two weeks. "How healthy do you think homeless people who live only on cardboard and trash can lids can be?" Crowley snapped her fingers, and in the fireplace in the atrium in the distance, flames erupted, and several rickety figures slowly approached, accompanied by overlapping coughs and sneezes.
Cool down the flu, don't forget it.
Zach raised his hand and pressed his nose, it wasn't that vampires hated germs like humans, but that Zack smelled that someone's blood had deteriorated. Zach looked in one direction and frowned, "Someone died." ”
Crowley also looked in the same direction, moved her finger without any expression, and a certain door opened and closed on the ground in an instant, and there was no one for 0.1 seconds, and a soul already belonged to hell.
There are priests who walk in that direction with the holy scriptures, let's not look at them......
Zach wasn't prepared for this kind of scene on this trip, and looked at Crowley with a frown, "If you're going to save these sick homeless people, be serious, don't be so hypocritical." ”
"Seriously?" Crowley raised her eyebrows, as if mocking the vampires around her for asking a little too much of her own demon, hypocritical demons are already rare, why don't you let Zhenshan come to the rescue?"How serious? Since a week ago, homeless people have come one after another, I have given them sheltered eaves, warm beds, and nutritious food, and then emptied all the church's medicine reserves. ”
Zach didn't answer, and it was clear that Crowley was running out of patience. "In the end, I even let some mid-level demons possess and heal diseases, but what? Crowley glanced around, "They keep coming, huh, and coming back." Because we have food here. There is free accommodation. ”
Crawlie glanced at Zach, "That's what you're seeing right now, unless I can cure all of Barton's homeless people at the same time, I can't keep wasting my men's time on them." This has become a disease cultivation factory, and they will be mine sooner or later. And believe me, I don't want such a soul. ”
Zach was silent for a moment, then looked at Crowley. "I'm not here to bleed. I'm not going to put it either. ”
Crowley actually smiled, "Did I ask you to let it go?" "Who is hypocritical!
Crowley turned around and beckoned with a triumphant smile, "Keep up, the person you're looking for is over here." ”
Zach glanced at the homeless men again, didn't speak, and followed.
The room of about thirty square meters should be the kitchen here, and a few stout nuns are busy. Prepare lunch for those who are waiting for free food," xx. Vampires are looking for you. Crowley called out and beckoned to Jessica, who was actually here to help, "Jessica, come here, your Mr. Hundred Bucks is here." ”
Naturally, Zach smiled.
"Do you still need me with you? Crowley said in an impatient tone.
"No need. Zach replied with a pout.
Crowley vanished. Drop the sentence, "Jessica will come to me in a moment." ”
Jessica was really happy to see Zach, quickly pulled her apron, wiped her hands and walked over, "Sir." Meet again. ”
The joy is mutual, Zach is happy to see that this crazy woman who was once lost in her talents is doing well now, but Zach has helplessness on his face, "It seems that you still can't let go of the wandering life you once had." Zach tilted his head and motioned to the guys outside the kitchen, "I'm doing the same thing as the last time we ran into him." ”
"You can't just look at it. Jessica also had helplessness on her face and pursed her lips, "It's useless, but you have to try your best to do something." ”
Zach nodded, there were some things that didn't fit in front of Crowley, "Why don't you contact Becky's shelter?" Quinn has a pilot project for something, remember, there's a gimmick to provide free medical care to the homeless. It can only be a gimmick, and we all know what Quinn's medicine is.
The helplessness on Jessica's face was even greater, "I contacted, but there seems to be a strict screening review over there, and it is difficult to live in it now, just wait for this review process, and these incapacitated people will no longer be able to hold ......" Jessica shook her head quickly, "I'm not saying that the charity of the Quin Group is not good, it's just, it's just ......"
Zach didn't want to explain anything for Mrs. Quinn, this is Quinn's style, can he see through - the former orphanage, the rise of war orphans, and the 'ordinary' orphans like Louise and Susan are set aside. Now, the situation is almost the same, and the main purpose of a certain drug to relieve the pain of veterans is to naturally leave aside the 'ordinary' homeless people who are really in the disease.
Only when the goal is clear can the results be significant. In the past, the Quinn Group was able to come up with the achievements of helping as many war orphans as it did after the war, and became the largest shelter institution. Now, too, the future will take the turn of life they have brought to the veterans in the midst of many wounds, and this achievement will be realized, corresponding to the end of the war and the full acceptance of orphans, until Quinn will not waste resources on other homeless people. Audit, don't kid yourself.
Zach patted Jessica, "Just do your best." Zach could only do his best in front of this woman who had a good impression of him, rolled up his cuffs, and took a bowl on the side of the desk casually, "Letting the blood out of my whole body can't save everyone, you can choose for yourself." ”
No one but Jessica expressed gratitude. Naturally, the nuns who work as coolies here can only be low-level demons, and they really don't have anyone to face the lives of those people unexpectedly. They just want to avoid the fresh vampire blood, which is deadly to them.
The only nun who walked towards Zach was not brave, but impatient, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Zach handed Jessica the bowl with half a bowl of elixir, and looked at the nun, who looked like she was about fifty, with green onions on her rough hands, "I'll take what Susan put here for you." ”
The nun frowned, "Who asked you to come?"
"Susan. ”
As if after thinking for a while, the nun spoke, "I want her to prove it herself, or she won't give it." ”
Carefully taking the bowl away, Jessica interjected, "Sir, are you here to get those negatives?"
Zach raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that Jessica actually knew about this, and of course even more surprised that the low-level demon in front of him actually rejected him, not because he wanted to ask Crowley for instructions, but, but to confirm with Susan?
After being surprised, Zach nodded first, to Jessica, and then to the nun, "What about going to Crowley?"
The nun shook her head, "I just need Susan's confirmation, and neither can Crowley." ”
Zach touched his nose and looked at Jessica, because Zack found that Jessica was gently tugging at the other party, "xx, give it to Sir, you know this is right, I heard what that Susan is going to do with those negatives, it is sin, Mr. is here to help her clear her of sin." ”
The nun pulled Jessica's hand away, "No." He glanced at Zach and shook his head calmly, "This body, her original soul, has only one wish, the children she takes care of can achieve something, no matter what it is, but it can't be nothing like an abandoned orphan." ”
Zach frowned and didn't interrupt.
"Crowley said, choose your own container, and then live the life that the container is supposed to live, this is the only way we can survive in this world. ”
Zach didn't know what to say, was Crowley sick.
No.
"Leaving hell and coming to this world does not mean that we have ended the initial judgment of faith and escaped the punishment of hell. This is our punishment, to be trapped in someone else's body, to live someone else's life, to atone for our souls that are already demons. ”
"It doesn't make sense. Zach shook his head, "This atonement doesn't make sense, as Jessica said, you're creating new evil." ”
"It doesn't make sense. The demon nun was talking to the vampire, "Atonement is an endless punishment with no end, have you seen angels fall into hell due to their mistakes, but have you ever seen demons ascend and enter heaven?" ”
The nun gave the vampire one last look and shook her head silently, "It's like you vampires, who have indulged in the eternal life of punishment and take it as pride, is it ridiculous, is it meaningful?" You go, I won't give anything to anyone without Susan's confirmation. If this container were alive and didn't know that she was facing a proud vampire, she would answer you like that, I know, but it wouldn't make a difference. ”
Just as the nun turned and walked away, Zakford thought to herself, "What if Louise asked." ”
The nun's name must be on the scene, because—
Theresa turned her head at Louise's name, "I...... Let me think...... I, I'll visit the ...... in Grande."
"Make the right decision. Zach nodded, "Sister Teresa." He turned around and walked away. (To be continued.) )
