City of Angels – Los Angeles!

Located in southwestern California, the United States is the second largest city in the United States after New York and the largest city in the West.

At one time, the entire state of California, including Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and other regions was Mexican territory.

While guarding the Atlantic, the U.S. imperialists were obsessed with the Pacific Ocean, so they launched the Mexican-American War in the name of God under the banner of freedom and democracy.

After the war, Mexico's territory was reduced by half, and even the American imperialist generals who participated in the war admitted that it was an unjust war.

A sad story that wakes up the world that a bad neighbor can ruin your family!

Russell hitchhiked to Las Vegas with the Jacobs, then bought a used car and rushed to the Los Angeles church headquarters.

Headquartered in the northwest of downtown Los Angeles, it occupies a small area and is just a very ordinary chapel from the outside. Surrounded by shade and covered with fallen leaves, it looks extremely secluded.

The familiar routine really hammered Russell's thoughts, and the supernatural power was secretive and low-key, not known to outsiders.

The cross was erected on the large wooden roof of the church, and Russell pulled the car to the side and stepped on the dead leaves towards the church gate.

At the main entrance of the church, an elderly nun wearing reading glasses is slowly sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom.

When the old nun saw Russell appear, she stopped swallowing the clouds and spitting out the mist, threw the cigarette on the ground, and stepped on the fire extinguisher.

"Son, who are you looking for?"

"Uh......"

To be honest, Russell didn't know who he was looking for, so he dug out a piece of paper from his suitcase and handed it to the old nun.

The old nun looked at it twice and smiled slightly: "The bishop has been waiting for you, but ...... You seem to be late. ”

"Haha, something happened on the way, and it was delayed for two days."

"Follow me here......"

The old nun raised her foot and took a step, suddenly frowned, and looked at the cigarette butt on the ground: "Times have changed, and it doesn't matter if young people lack faith nowadays, they actually throw cigarette butts at the door of the church, and they have no sense of public morality at all." ”

Russell: (a. 一 ゙)

"Kid, what do you think I'm doing, don't you think I threw it?"

"No, it's not you, I threw it!"

Russell shook his head decisively, picked up the cigarette butt by the way, and threw it into the dustpan on the side.

"Good boy, have the courage to admit your mistakes, and the Lord will forgive you!" The old nun put down the broom, led Russell around the church room for half a circle, and walked in through the side door.

It's a very old church that looks very old from a distance, but it looks like a World Heritage Site up close, with the walls peeling off the gray skin, revealing the masonry inside, and the wooden planks of the side doors are crumbling, and the gaps are wider than Russell's palms.

Compared with the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Crystal Cathedral in the same city, it is like being raised by a stepmother.

The shade of the trees blocks the sunlight, casting dappled light and shadow on the bluestone path, which is very quiet, and occasionally passes by two clergy, both walking quietly with their heads down.

The two passed through the vine-strewn courtyard to a two-story wooden house, where the old nun pushed open the door and left silently.

It seems that the people here don't like to talk much!

Russell muttered, the quiet environment is certainly relaxing, but it is too quiet here, and it feels a little depressing.

The walls of the wooden house were white-painted, and the emptiness was unobstructed, and a huge cross hung directly in front of Russell, and he looked over and was about to ask aloud when a voice sounded on the second floor.

"Come on, there's nothing to see down there!"

Russell stepped on the creaking wooden ladder and walked briskly up to the second floor, where the room was plainly decorated, and the gray-haired bishop sat in front of the bookcase, raised his hand and pointed to the chair across from the desk, motioning for Russell to sit down.

"I ......"

"I know you, Father Russell, that you are late, and now is the time to employ people, so I will not pursue it."

"Here ......"

"This is indeed the headquarters, it may not be what you think, but there is no need to doubt it."

"You ......"

"I'm the head of this church, and you can call me Bishop Ian."

"I ......"

"Your next task is to get acquainted with this place as quickly as possible!"

The fairy-like conversation left Russell speechless, not knowing what to continue to say, Bishop Ian is not only quick to talk, but also seems to be able to read minds, he does not believe evil and continues: "Just ......"

"Huh?"

"Just ......"

"Just now? What happened just now? ”

Pulling it back, Russell's heart was dark, and he finally couldn't guess it, and said with a face as usual: "Who is the elderly nun who brought me here just now?" ”

"Older nuns, you say?" Bishop Ian had a strange look on his face.

"Well, she swept up the leaves at the church door and led me through the side door......"

Bishop Ian shook his head slightly, and said seriously: "Father Russell, please don't talk nonsense, there are no nuns in this church, let alone older nuns. ”

it!

Russell's face changed when he heard this, and in broad daylight, he actually saw a ghost at the door of the church!

"Hahaha, just kidding......"

Bishop Ian's straight face suddenly smiled, and he got up and walked to the window: "That one just now is Sister Medellin, she has some bad habits, just ignore it." Remember, she dedicated her life to the Lord and is the oldest nun in all of Los Angeles, and you must treat her with extreme respect. ”

Russell: "......"

Bishop, you also have some not-so-good fetishes!

Russell rolled his eyes and cut straight to the point: "Bishop, I'm ready for my mission. Just tell me, who is the enemy, the Dark Church or the Wizards' Association, or the devil of hell is coming? ”

Bishop Ian didn't speak, and looked at Russell stupidly: "What nonsense are you talking about, where is the dark church and the devil?" ”

"Huh?"

Bishop Ian said with a little disgust: "I transferred you here because you applied for it yourself and wanted to come to the big city, it just so happened that our church has been short of manpower, and others are unwilling to come, and I happened to be out on an errand recently, so I asked you to come." ”

“……”

"If there's anything you don't understand, ask Sister Medellín more, that's it."

With that, Bishop Ian carried a suitcase and fled down to the second floor, leaving Russell stunned and standing there.

"So, what am I coming to Los Angeles for?"

……

In the confessional room in the corner of the church, Russell sits expressionlessly, and across the board, a middle-aged man mutters to himself.

"Father, I have a friend...... Hey, hey, hey...... He took his wife to camp by car...... Hey, hey, hey, but when he woke up by the lake, he couldn't find his wife......"

"Sir, please calm down first, so keep laughing like this, I can't hear what you're saying at all."

Russell buttoned his nostrils, picked up his mobile phone and pressed the number to dial: "Hey, 911...... Yes, it's me again...... This time I'm reporting murder! ”
