Chapter 100: Death Without Pain

In just a few days, many people died in the City of Fog, and the smell of blood filled the air.

But no one mourns, because people are used to it. The city is about to change, and the people in it are already aware of it.

On the second street of the City of Fog, there is a small church, a very small church, and there is only one priest in the church, and people call him Old Priest.

Lawrence didn't stay at the police station today, he didn't patrol it, he came to the church early, not in the police uniform he always wore, but in black.

He sat on a church pew, facing the frescoes on the high walls of the church, his lips closed and silent.

On the mural, the Holy Father opens his arms to the world and embraces everything.

Lawrence looked at the mural for a long time, opened his mouth slightly, and said silently.

"Gracious Father, I have committed an unpardonable sin, but how can I repent?"

This was his first prayer, and he did not ask for forgiveness, because he knew that his sins were unforgivable.

He knew that everything would settle after today.

He asked Hatsu to come and meet him when he finished his mission.

As for why he was in church, perhaps because he felt that it was a better place to confess his sins.

A day earlier, he had gone to the city hall of the Fog City and asked the mayor to reorganize the Fog City Police Department and increase the number of police officers.

The negotiation process went smoothly, he just walked in, made a request, and then walked out, and the timid and cowardly mayor did not dare to refuse his request at all, after all, he also had the name of a bloody police officer.

As for the rest of the matter, he left it to an old friend of his, and he was sure he would take care of it.

He had arranged everything, and after those forces were removed, the City of Fog should have changed, a new system would be established here, and he had accomplished the kind of justice he had insisted on in his heart.

Finally, he came here and waited for the first time to take away his sins.

He knew that what he was doing was sinful, saying it was for the city, but in reality, it was only for the sake of satisfying his own selfish desires.

So he waited quietly, waiting for the first coming.

Lawrence thought of a way to take away the sin at first, maybe by killing himself, maybe by taking himself directly to a certain place to be punished, or maybe by torturing his soul.

In short, no matter what a guy like Chu does, he will not be surprised.

The only thing Lawrence didn't think about was that Chu would only take away his sin, because in his opinion, everything has a price, and his sin is not a price.

He waited for the first time to kill him, or to punish him, which was his repentance, and he believed that it was also the will of the Father.

The old priest stood in the confessional, silently reading the confession, not hearing Lawrence's confession.

His hearing was bad, and he had long since been able to hear the confessions of the inhabitants of the City of Mist. So he always recited the confession of forgiveness, forgiving sins that he could not hear.

I don't know how long it took for Lawrence to feel someone standing behind him.

He didn't look back, because it was only Chu who would appear by his side like this.

"Is the mission accomplished?" Lawrence asked.

Through Jack, he found out most of the underground forces in the city, and the task he gave Chu was to dispose of all these forces, and the rest was not to be feared.

"Hmm. Chu stood behind Lawrence and nodded.

She's killed a lot of people these days, which makes her voice sound even deeper and hoarse.

"Whew. Lawrence let out a faint sigh as he leaned back on the pews on the church floor and said with a faint smile.

"That's good. ”

Then, he fell silent and looked at the frescoes in front of the church in a daze.

"When I was younger, my father would always bring me to church. ”

With a look of remembrance in his eyes, he whispered: "He said that if a man is religious enough, God will forgive him all his sins." ”

"But that's wrong. Lawrence felt in his pocket and pulled out his cigarette and lighter.

"Those who make mistakes should be punished. ”

As he spoke, he put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a flame.

"When I'm done with this cigarette, take away my sins, it's the price I should pay. ”

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled the smoke and said to Chu behind him with a smile.

"I know you don't like the smell of smoke, but this is the last time, so bear with me. ”

After smoking this cigarette, whether it is death or anything, he will face it.

But Lawrence was wrong, he didn't have to face anything at all, because someone would face it for him.

"There's one more case left unfinished, and I can't take away your sins. ”

Behind him, Chu finally spoke out and said the first sentence.

Lawrence was stunned for a moment, the case, is there any case that has not been completed?

Hatsu took out a folder from behind her back and handed it to Lawrence, which she had just taken out of the police station.

She had already prepared for this.

Lawrence took the document in his hand and flipped it open, and there was indeed an unfinished case inside.

A case sent by Jack's children to capture the murderers of the Fog Capital.

"You, what do you mean?" Lawrence was a little puzzled.

"Arrest me. ”

In the church, Chu stood between the pews, bowed his head, and said in a low voice, "Then, let them see you kill me." Then I will be able to take away your sins. ”

In this way, the greatest evil produced by the city can be counted as an end.

There was silence in the church.

For a long, long time.

Lawrence thought about all the answers he had at the beginning, but he still didn't think about the current situation.

He blankly swallowed the cigarette in his mouth.

"You're going to die. It was the first time this middle-aged man had been so dazed.

"I'm not going to die. Chu just shook his head calmly.

"Then, you'll feel the pain too, won't you?" Lawrence looked at Hatsu, as if trying to find a little hesitation in Hatsu's eyes.

But in the eyes of the beginning, there was only black like a deep valley, and there was no other look in sight.

"I don't hurt either. Chu said simply, calmly stating the fact that she had long since felt no pain.

She had experienced countless times more painful than death, so she could face death more calmly than anyone else in this world.

"So kill me. "She doesn't feel any pain about it.

Beneath the Father's mural, the messenger spoke to angry justice.

In the confession of the sinful priest who could not be heard, the colorful frescoes were illuminated by light.

The righteousness of the resentful world finally understood that the messenger really came to take away his sins, and really came to redeem him.
