022. Pastor's Statement
"Mr. Pastor, I'm curious why you would intend to have a man who let the prisoner go to help you." The sheriff asked Muzi at dinner, there were five people at the table, the Hale family, and his wife and daughter, Yang Xiang and Muzi. The whole dinner was very depressing, Hale's wife was silently scooping up the beef and mashed potatoes to eat, and Hale's daughter didn't even move the dish, but just ate the noodles in front of her.
"I'm also curious as to why the mayor would choose to release a prisoner." Muzi quietly continued to eat his vegetable salad.
"You have to ask the mayor about this, I'm just a sheriff, the mayor gives orders, and I just carry them out." Sheriff Hale picked up the wine and poured it into his glass, and for a moment Muzi saw the wine shaking in the glass as blood.
"Well, Lord Reverend, did Mr. Alden live with that strange exorcist after he was released?" Before the meal was over, Hale's daughter Anne asked. Seeing Muzzy nodding, Anne continued to ask, "Really, can I go and see him?" ”
"Annie!" The sheriff interrupted Anne, "I'm sorry, it looks like this is the end of tonight's meal, thank you for coming." ”
The two were invited out of the door by Hale, and Yang Xiang and Mu Qi felt that this Hale was even more suspicious, why did he prevent his daughter from seeing Alden.
"Could it be that this Anne is in love with Alden?" Yang Xiang felt that his brain hole was also quite big, Anne was just an adult girl, and Alden looked at least 30 years old, both age and portal were too far apart, but Yang Xiang really couldn't think of why a woman would be so anxious to see a middle-aged man who was still single, "But now we can minimize the suspicion of Hale's wife and daughter, looking at their expressions, they really don't seem to know anything about witches, but Hale is a person, his suspicion is too great." ”
"I'm almost certain that this sheriff is a witch when I come out of the cell, and if it weren't for him, no one would have so easily deranged the entire prison into delirium." Muzi also put the biggest suspicion on Hale, "I can hardly feel a trace of magic from him, he looks like, like a completely incapable man, but he's a sheriff!" ”
The sheriff doesn't have any combat power, and the joke is really funny, but it doesn't look like a joke at Muzie. That is to say, this Muzi has well hidden all his strength, he is smiling politely now, but it is not yet time, when it is time to tear his face, he will turn into a man-eating beast.
Another day, Yang Xiang and Muzi came to the church in Salem, the church was very dilapidated, and it looked like there was no one to worship it at all, but the chairs and floor in the church were still quite clean, without a trace of dust.
"Hello, are you here to pray?" An old voice came from the arch leading to the cloister, "Oh, I see someone, isn't this Lord Muzi, how could he be so free to come to this remote town." ”
Although the face of the person who came out looked relatively old, Yang Xiang always felt that the actual age of this person was not as old as Mu Qi, probably because these recent things had made him age quickly. As the only priest in Salem, not only did he fail to purify the demon-possessed girl, but even his own daughter was possessed.
Samir felt very tired, not only physically, but also mentally exhausted. Now he not only has to come every morning to preside over everything in the church, although the church is almost no longer full of people come to pray, but as a pastor it is his duty; And at night I have to stay at home with my daughter, who has lost her mind.
Samir had to perform purifications on his daughter several times a night, and although it didn't help, it was also a matter of peace of mind. He was on the verge of collapse, he needed a spiritual backer, and now that spiritual backer had finally arrived, Muzi was the one who had been a Light Reverend since he first entered the state church, and he had advised Muzi on many questions about his faith, and Muzi would tell him everything.
Samir felt that Muzi's arrival was God's guide through this ordeal.
"The first time Salem encountered this kind of thing was a month ago, and no one took it seriously, including me, and they all thought that Orion's daughter's coma was the after-effect of taking some kind of drug, because Orion's daughter was born with a strange disease and needed to take some medicine that I didn't recognize.
When the second girl was in a coma for two days, and Orion's daughter began to go berserk, everyone began to realize that something was wrong, but everyone's attention was still not here, it was the day when Alden, the hero of the defensive battle, returned to his hometown, and many people went out to meet him, and the acting mayor, Lady Sibrie, also went with him. I remember very well that Orion's daughter didn't go crazy when almost the whole town went out to greet Alden, and I was there for her to help her cast the purification, I didn't know why, but when the people came back, she started to go crazy again.
Alden is a very practical young man, and I am quite optimistic about him, and he is also very active in helping me to help the little girls who are possessed by demons, but he does not believe that there are demons or witches in Salem, and thinks it is an outsider's problem. However, the most suspicious outsider is himself, but people never mention it.
Alden was later arrested for helping an forgiver escape, and I heard that you bailed him out? ”
Muzi nodded, letting Samir continue.
"The Alden gang's fornicator is called Isaac, and there are rumors that he is not actually an adulterer, but has offended the previous sheriff. But no one cares about this kind of problem, the brand on Isaac's forehead is a scar that he will never erase for the rest of his life, people will only see his brand, and will not care about the so-called facts. But Alden was reckless in doing such a thing, and he didn't think about the consequences of doing so.
It is unknown where Isaac has fled, but no matter where he flees, the imprint on his forehead will not be erased, and he is still a convict of fornication.
Ahem, if old Sibri is still around......"
