Chapter 5: In the Name of the Father

The morning sun shines brightly on the snow-capped mountains of western Romania, reflecting a white light. Although it is a world of ice and snow, you can feel the warmth of the winter sun.

Shen Yi stood in front of the window, looking at the rows of silver needles and cedars, looking at the snowy scenery of the silver sea, and was a little intoxicated in this white world for a while.

He lives in the coastal areas of southern China, has not seen a single snow for many years, went to the capital for a few years, either buried in study, or think hard about revenge, occasionally leisure, in the bustling city, everyone is running for life, and how many people can stop and appreciate?

I didn't expect to enter the world of Van Helsing's mission now, and I would have the opportunity to have the opportunity to see the natural scenery of the nineteenth century.

Theoretically speaking, if you don't die, you will be able to see all kinds of fantasy worlds in the future.

Although I don't know why it exists.

"Nice look, you look like you're fully recovered. Anna's voice came from behind him.

Shen Yi looked back, she was wearing a bright blue long dress, with exquisite lace trimmed on the edges, and a red ribbon tied on her head, which looked quite casual and slightly wild.

She was standing in the doorway with her shoulders crossed.

"It's thanks to your medicine. Shen Yi replied.

With despicable medical skills, Shen Yi had fully recovered last night, and all the wounds had healed.

After becoming an adventurer, Shen Yi obviously felt that his physique was no longer the same as ordinary people, and his recovery ability was greatly enhanced, even if there was no medical effect, one night was enough for him to recover a lot.

"You don't have to make such excuses, I know the effects of those medicines, but if you don't want to say it, I won't press you. Everyone has the right to keep their own secrets. ”

"You're a good girl who is understanding. Shen Yi said with a smile.

Suddenly the bell rings in the town, melodious and crisp.

Shen Yi looked out the window and saw a large number of townspeople gathered again.

"What's going on again?"

Anna replied, "No, it's nothing, it's the church bells." Most of the townspeople in Transylvania are devout believers, and today is a Sunday day to pray to God. ”

"What do they pray?"

"What else could it be? Hopefully, God will help them free themselves from vampire bondage. ”

"It's funny, after last night's incident, I thought they were welcoming to vampires. ”

"It's like no one welcomes it*, but no one dares to resist. Dracula is too powerful. ”

The corners of Shen Yi's mouth pursed a smile.

He picked up his coat and walked out the door.

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Anna.

"Go to church. ”

"You're a believer too?"

"Everyone has faith. Shen Yi replied.

―――――――――――――

In the church, an elderly gray-haired priest was preaching.

"We are gathered here today to express our devotion and gratitude to God. It is a fitting place because it is full of light and is not affected by the evils of the world. As we know, all evil spirits are not gratuitous existences, it is a projection of the evil in our hearts, a reflection of negative emotions such as greed, hatred, jealousy, fear in our hearts, God guides us, He is like the sun, warms us, drives away darkness, and drives away evil spirits. ”

"God is the Father and our Lord, and disrespect for the Father is the abandonment of light, and the dependence and refuge of darkness and evil. Heavenly Father punished him and put him surrounded by evil spirits until one day he came to his senses. If he cannot convert, Heavenly Father will send down the light to cleanse him from sin. ”

"Let us pray to the Father, who gives us light, gives us air, gives us flowers, gives us clear water, and gives us peace. In the name of the Father, keep our hearts pure and free from being corrupted by the forces of evil and darkness. ”

"Amen!"

"Amen!" all the believers prayed in a low voice.

After the sermon is officially over, the priest usually asks some believers how they feel. Some believers tend to speak out loud about how they have been liberated since they converted to the Father, and that they have been at peace since then. There are also believers who ask the priest about what is happening, and the priest has to answer the question.

At this moment, a townsman is praying for the priest's guidance:

"The silver wolf died yesterday, Father, is this God's arrangement?"

The priest replied: "The will of the Lord cannot be guessed, but we must obey it." The Lord punishes us, and we accept it, and the Lord rewards us, and we should be humble and thankful. The silver wolf is the subordinate of the vampire Dracula, and the undead are evil beings, and the Lord will inevitably punish and destroy them. ”

"But what if Count Dracula comes to trouble us?"

The priest replied, "Then let us face it calmly, Lord...... Own arrangement. ”

"The question is whether you will be able to see and understand when the Lord's arrangement comes?" said a loud word in the church, breaking the momentary peace.

The believers looked back and saw Shen Yi standing at the door of the church.

Hulala, a large group of people stood up, and someone shouted, "It was the stranger who killed the silver wolf and brought disaster to the town." How dare he come here!"

"Quiet, holy place, no noise!" cried the priest.

Everyone fell silent at the same time.

Shen Yi smiled and walked to the pulpit and came to the priest's side: "Your Excellency Father, can you allow me to say a few words?"

The priest looked at Shen Yi, thought for a while and finally nodded: "Everyone has the right to express their opinions, and Heavenly Father is magnanimous." Even if you are a heinous person, you cannot deprive him of the right to speak. But if you blaspheme the Lord, you will be chastened. ”

He stepped aside, and Shen Yi officially stood on the stage.

Shen Yi looked around at the townspeople in the church and said loudly, "Before I make a formal speech, I would like to tell you a little story. ”

"The story goes like this. There was once a believer who touched the merciful Heavenly Father with his piety. So when he died, he returned to heaven, and the Father summoned him. Heavenly Father asked him, "What reward do you need?" He replied: I want my son to be a big man. ”

Heavenly Father agreed to his request. When the son of the believer learned of his Father's reward, he stopped doing his job. He abandoned the farm, stopped farming, and waited every day for the Father to arrange for him to become a duke of a nation. But he didn't wait. But he was convinced that the merciful Heavenly Father would fulfill the promise he had made, so he waited resolutely. Day after day, year after year. He became poorer and poorer, more and more destitute. Eventually, he was forced to live in a dilapidated compound, where he begged for a living, until one day of ice and snow, with no clothes or food, died miserably. ”

After his death, he went to see the Father and asked why the Father had not fulfilled his promise. ”

"I have never forgotten the promise I made to your father, says the Father. But if you want to become a big man, you have to become an official first, even if it is only the lowest-level civil servant, I can make you prosperous, but you just don't do anything, how can I make you a big man? I have no choice but to change the conditions, hoping that you will become a general. But time and time again, I sent you letters from the conscripts, and you threw them away without even looking at them. If you go, I can guarantee that you will never be injured by the enemy's sword, and wherever you go, you will write the glory of the battle, but if you don't go, I can't help it. So, I can only change the conditions again, hoping that you can become a businessman. As long as you go into business, your business will always be prosperous, no matter what you do, there will be a lot of customers, but you still don't do anything. I really can't help but put some gold under the stone slab in the courtyard where you live. You just need to clean up a little bit and you can see the gold. But you still don't do anything...... Whatever reward I give you, you need to discover it yourself, pursue it, and work hard at least once to get it. So, it's not that I don't keep my promise, it's that when I give you a reward, you don't know how to cherish it, you don't know how to turn a blind eye......"

Shen Yi told this simple story in a flat tone, with a strange smile in his eyes.

He looked at the believers in the church and paused for a moment before continuing: "It seems to me that the people of the small town of Transylvania, like that stupid and lazy child, wait every day for deliverance from the Father, but when the deliverance of the Father has come, they do not know how to cherish and love, but treat those who help them with the same attitude as the enemy. ”

"What are you talking about?!" a townsman stood up.

It's the tavern guy Gasken who has a crush on Anna.

"You heard what I said. Shen Yi said loudly: "As you can see, when the Father sent His messenger to save you from danger, your attitude was to fear of offending the evil. Look what's going on in this town, you're oppressed by the vampires, but you don't care about the help that comes from outside, and you try to appease the anger of the silver wolf's killer by arresting him and handing him over to Count Dracula. When the Father gave you help, did you deal with the Father's gift in this way? You prayed every day, that the light would come and that the darkness would be far away from you. But when the light does come, you choose to abandon the light and embrace the darkness!

Shen Yi roared: "A group of hypocrites! a group of selfish, lazy, incompetent, cowardly unbelievers! You have blasphemed the gift of the Heavenly Father, ignored the glory of the Heavenly Father, embraced the power of darkness, humbled your knees and bowed to evil, and then came to ask for the Heavenly Father's forgiveness?

"You bastard!" Gasken cried out through gritted teeth, his face flushed and his iron fists clenched.

However, he didn't rush up and beat Shen Yi, because before him, someone had already stood up and roared at Shen Yi: "You, a foreigner, how can you be worthy of being the messenger of the Heavenly Father? When the gift of the Heavenly Father comes, we will naturally know!"

It was none other than Northon who spoke.

He turned his head and shouted at the townsfolk behind him, "Kill this bastard!"

Bang!

Gunshots.

Northon wailed, clutching his thighs, and fell.

On the podium, the gun in Shen Yi's hand emitted a trace of green smoke.

Everyone was shocked by the shot.

The priest shouted, "How can you do bloody things in the Holy Land?!"

Shen Yi turned his head and glared at the priest: "Holy Book: All those who are loyal to the Lord have sworn to keep the commandments, the laws, and the statutes, and to fulfill the covenants written in the book, and those who violate them will be severely punished. Satan received the Lord's permission to bring plague upon Job, Moses and Aaron sent ten plagues on Egypt according to God's will, and anyone who disobeyed the Lord's will will be chastened by the Lord. The Lord is merciful and severe. The Lord's gift can bring light to you, but if this place has been invaded by evil forces, then it should be cleared!"

Shen Yi knew a lot about the many sources of the Bible, and the priest had nothing to answer when he said something.

Northon clutched his legs and cried out, "I am not corrupted by evil!

Shen Yi sneered: "Northen Lahor, born in 1865, is a merchant family. You don't believe in God, you really believe in money and status, and you aspire to be a true nobleman yourself. But on the other hand, Count Dracula is the one who rules the land. So you bow your knees to him, and provide him with information about the town at any time in exchange for the peace of your own house. All you want is to marry Anna Villaris, so that you can prove to be a true nobleman of Tran. But you are afraid that you will be bound by the oath of the ancestors of the Villaris family, so that you will not be able to ascend to heaven after death. You are a thoroughly selfish being, and it is strange that a selfish and despicable villain like you should be confident that Heavenly Father would take in someone like you?"

"You ......" was taken aback by Shen Yi's heart-breaking Nuosen. These things exist only in his heart, how can he know?

Shen Yi's gun was slowly aimed at the townspeople in the church: "Don't be surprised, my father told me all this." This man's filth is despicable, he has deceived and deceived the people of this town, and in the name of the Father, this shot is my punishment for you. ”

"You deserve to be punished for impersonating the Father's messenger and using earthly weapons in the temple of the Father!" Gasken cried.

Perhaps because of Anna, Gasken never had any good feelings for Shen Yi.

"Gasken Powell, a former orphan from a foreign land, was taken in by an old carpenter after arriving in Transylvania, and has since settled here. Everyone knows that you have a strong physique, a fierce personality, and a good drinker, but few people know that you are a descendant of the Vikings. Although you are just a tavern guy, good at fighting, and in the limelight, you are actually a real samurai. It's a pity that you didn't shoulder the honor and responsibility of a samurai, and let yourself be buried in the town, watching the townspeople here be humiliated. ”

Shen Yi continued to say lightly, and everyone looked at Gasken in surprise at the same time.

The young man's face became panicked: "You...... How do you know?"

"As I have said, the Father knows everything. Shen Yi's expression was indifferent.

"Is he really a messenger of God?" the townspeople began to disagree.

Looking at Nuo Than, who was shot in the thigh, Shen Yi suddenly walked over and stretched out his hand to press Nuo Son's injured leg.

Despicable healing activated.

Northson's injured leg turned out to be getting better.

"Oh my God, this is a miracle!" the people exclaimed, looking at Shen Yi's eyes full of fear.

Shen Yi said slowly: "This is the Lord's gift. ”

Everyone knelt down towards Shen Yi at the same time.
