Chapter 23: Human Nature

Dupont sat in his office, looked at Chris below and said, "Thank you for coming, Priest." I think you should know who I am.

Of course you understand, you are the vice-president of the council, the spokesman of the priests, the senior priest of Dupen. Chris looked at Dupon above and said with his hands behind his back.

Frankly speaking, priest, I have been told that the Church's arrangements for you are a bit overkill. In your file, whenever someone around you triggers an emotion, you will immediately feel it, just as you suspect your partner Patrigi.

After hearing Dupon's words, Chris said without hesitation, yes, sir. I have an excellent record.

Dupon nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Priest, why do you feel that way?" Is it imaginable?

Chris replied regretfully, I'm not sure, Vice Chairman. In short,,, I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel the thoughts of criminals, and put myself in their shoes.

Du Pon listened to it and said with a smile, is it to imagine yourself as being in the same position as them, so you can only feel it in advance as an emotional criminal?

When Chris heard this, he hesitated, I can't be sure, sir, because it feels amazing. So I can't answer you exactly.

Do you have a family? Priest.

Yes sir, I have a son and a daughter, and my son is studying in the convent of the Church and is working hard to become an honorable priest.

That's a good idea, priest, what about the child's mother?

My wife was arrested three years ago for emotional crimes and cremated, sir.

Did you do it personally?

No, the chief, the executor is someone else.

Dupon pondered for a moment and asked again, what do you think about this?

I'm sorry sir, I don't quite understand what you mean.

How do you feel, and how do you feel about your wife being cremated by the church?

Chris thought for a moment, shook his head firmly, and said, I'm sorry sir, I don't feel it at all.

Are you sure? Are you negligent? Neglecting the emotions between you?

I ,,, Chris thought about it for a moment, and then replied coldly, I asked myself the same question, but sir, I don't know, I really don't feel anything.

Very well, there is no room for petty mistakes in the Church, priest, and I hope you will be more careful and cautious in the future.

Yes, sir, I understand.

Dupont looked Chris in the eye and waited for a moment before saying, Very good, Priest, last question, do you have a name, called Pesterton?

Christian listened, nodded and said, Yes sir, I was called Peston when I was younger, but after I was adopted, my name was changed to Christian by my adopted parents.

Dupon smiled and nodded like Chris in front of him, Peston is a very good name, you will still call it this name in the future. Now I want to congratulate you, priest. Congratulations on passing the Church's audit, and from now on you will become the leader of the Spearfighting Squad, the Church, and promote you to a High Clergy. Now you can go out and your new partner is waiting for you outside.

Chris nodded when he listened, yes sir, I'll be called Peston from now on.

Dupon closed the file in front of him and held out his hand to signal that he could leave.

Peston turned and walked out of the church, and as he had just walked down the last steps, a white sedan drove up. The black driver of the car, pulled up in front of Peston, opened the door and said, "Priest Peston, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm your new partner, Diggs."

Diggs waited until Peston got in the car, and then drove the car to Peston's house, and when Peston got home, Diggs spoke again, "Priest, I hope you will be glad that I have been assigned to fill this gap, because for for it will be a good opportunity for me to make a difference."

After hearing this, Peston opened the car door without any reaction and walked towards his home.

Pesson Priest. Seeing that Pesson was ignoring himself, Diggs, the black man, poked his head out of the window and shouted at him, "I am a priest like you, and I have a sixth sense, and I can sense that people are about to have emotions before they even know it."

Peston walked forward without stopping, clearly uninterested in Diggs' words.

Diggs looked at Peston's departing back and fell into deep thought, and when Peston was about to disappear in front of his eyes, Diggs shouted to Peston again, Priest, I hope that one day I can be like you, selfless and selfless, and become a mainstay of the church.

After hearing Diggs say that he was selfless, Peston paused and strode into the house.

That night, Pesson woke up in a dream, he dreamed of his wife, of the kiss she gave him when she was taken away by the sweepers, of his partner, of the smile on Patrichi's face when he died, and of the Bible that was held tightly in his hand.

When he woke up from his dream, he panicked, and he walked quickly into the bathroom and took out his Pasian syringe. Just as Peston was about to shoot Pasian into his neck, he hesitated. Because he also wants to know what emotions are, he wants to experience the charm of emotions instead of being like a cold robot every day.

Pesson was stunned and looked at himself in the mirror, which was the church's reward for himself, because only clergy were allowed to install mirrors in their homes. Finally Peston put down the syringe in his hand, and he decided not to inject Passian today, he wanted to experience the emotion again, even if it was only for a day.

Subsequently, in the new day, Pesson began to welcome the new day and a new destiny with emotion.

During a battle against the "terrorists" the next day, Peston saw the eyes of the emotional prisoner who died in his arms, and saw the blood on his own gloves. Walking past the corpse, Peston took off his gloves, along with his composure and composure.

He felt the bullet holes in the wall, and through the light of one bullet hole, he entered a secret room with some personal collections: beautiful ornaments, lovely portraits, Preston felt it all. There was an old-fashioned player in the chamber, and when Beethoven's record began to spin, the rousing melody pierced Peston's soul, and he burst into tears.

Hey Pearson, we've got something new to discover out there. Inside the car, as Peston looked at the blood in his hands and brood, Diggs shouted at him.

What, Peston followed in the footsteps of Diggs with questions, and after a while came to an iron cage, through which Peston looked at the dogs in the cage.

The armed sweepers, when they saw Peston and Diggs, saluted, Priest, these dogs are also contraband, we have to eliminate them, do you have any opinions?

Dog! Diggs tilted his head, looked at the big dogs barking in the cage, and asked puzzledly, what are these things for? Are the emotional criminals going to eat them?

No, sir, these dogs are the pets of the women and the children of those who are emotionally criminal, and according to the interrogation, they use these dogs to comfort their so-called hearts, and loneliness.

Diggs looked at the dog in the cage with an unknown expression, lonely! What's that? Forget it, kill them all.

Wait a minute. Just as the Raiders were about to shoot, Peston stopped them.

The clean-up team members who were about to shoot put down their guns when they heard this, turned around and asked, "Sir, do you have any other orders?"

No, it's not, Pesson couldn't bear to turn his head away, you go on.

Bang, bang, bang. As the gunshots rang out and the dogs whined, Peston bit his lower lip hard.

Wang, Wang, Wang. Grab it, it's running out. With a few shouts, a puppy ran out of its cage.

Looking at the puppy that wanted to run under his feet, Peston grabbed him in his hands.

Seeing that the puppy was caught, one of the team members came up and stretched out his hand to Peston and said, Well done priest, come, hand him over to us, we will put him to death.

Peston looked at the puppy in front of him, and was about to hand him over when the puppy licked his face with his tongue.

Peston felt the touch on his face, and the puppy's eyes, and the hand that was originally handed out retracted.

After dodging the team's grasp, Peston explained to the unknown crowd that no, we should keep it so that we can know if there is any disease spreading here.

Well, if you insist. Listening to Peston's words, the clean-up team member said indifferently.

And so Peston took the puppy and left alone. The rest of the story is like in a movie, after driving away, Peston meets the patrol, and he recovers emotionally, in order to prevent the puppy from being captured by the patrol, and his own safety, he does not hesitate to kill the nine members of the cleaning team.

In the days that followed, Pesson slowly began to enjoy his emotions and began to refuse to take Passian. And all of this was all seen by Zhu Kunming.

One morning, after hiding Pacian in the mirror again, Peston received the news that Patrichi's body was about to be cremated, and he drove to the morgue to see his companion one last time.

Peston looked at Patrigi lying on the cart, and the gun hole in his head, and covered his face with remorse, Patriji, our relationship is so good, I still can't forget how you helped me when I first joined the church.

And in the end, I actually killed you! With tears of remorse in her eyes, Peston shook Patrichi's stiff hand. Patregi, I'm really distressed right now, I don't know what I'm going to do, the church has given me everything, but I really don't want to kill people anymore, I'm really fed up, I don't want to be a cold tool, I want to chase my dreams.

When Peston walked out of the room, a staff member turned to him and asked, "Sir, we have a relic of Patrici here, it's a book, shall we destroy him with us?"

No, no, no. Hearing this, Pesson immediately vetoed, sir, Patrici is a priest anyway, so we need to use his relics as evidence of betrayal of the church, not meaningless destruction.

Led by the staff, Peston left the morgue and eventually took Patrigi's belongings, the bullet-pierced Bible. Exhausted, he went straight back to his home this time.

When Peston was lying on the bed, he opened the Bible and read it carefully, and as he read, Peston found a photo of Patrici and the other three in the book. On the back of the photo are the names and contact information of the two men. One of them is called Mary, and the other is called Gigan.

Seeing this, Peston jumped straight out of bed, ran all the way to the parking lot, and quickly drove to the house of the lady named Mary. Peston held the steering wheel tightly, and the car drove quickly, knowing that there must be a secret hidden in this photo, waiting to be discovered.
