Chapter 49: Departure
Unfortunately, it is not in the hands of Agnes herself, but in the hands of the church. And it is impossible for Agnes to deliberately make herself act like she will cause damage to others in order to stay, after all, it is related to her future, not just for a while.
According to the words of His Excellency Rossi at that time, it can be known that the Church's imprisonment during this period was mainly due to two aspects: first, he may have been contaminated by himself; The second is that your state under the full moon needs to be determined.
Tests for contamination had been done when she had just been brought back by the Watchers, and several more times after that, and the church had concluded that the "primordial moon" had not polluted Angnes. Agnes always felt that there should be a part of this conclusion that was not spoken, such as the existence of other hidden contamination in her.
Of course, almost all those who have access to her in the church know about her situation, such as her illness, such as her likely connection to a secret existence. There is no doubt that there are other hidden beings of pollution, but after years of observation, the Church has come to believe that the contamination of Agnes by hidden beings can be assessed as not actively causing harm to others.
But perhaps after Ms. Baines's case, the church may be reassessed.
As for her state under the full moon, she had already tested it yesterday, and she did successfully suppress her desire to kill and bloodlust last night, but Agnes didn't know if she had passed the church test, after all, she had almost lost her consciousness in the end, and only had the instinct to suppress herself. And this act of suppressing her own desires even made her magic potion digest some.
Of course, maybe taking the initiative to say something to Lord Rossi might be able to include her thoughts in the reference? Agnes thought uncertainly.
Agnes didn't think about it anymore, and instead she talked to her mother, who hadn't seen each other for nearly a month.

"Today I finally saw my mother in a sober state. In the conversation with my mother, although my mother subconsciously avoided the question that she was reluctant to see me when I was awake, it could be seen that she seemed to have figured it out herself. ”
"I feel like my mother is much more gentle with me than before. Is it because of the guilt of avoiding me before? Or is it the grief of being cursed by my xenomorphism? However, it seems to me that this is at least much better than the memories I had before I gradually lost myself in a state of illness. At least I now have a gut feeling that I will be able to accompany my mother until the end of her life without worrying about when I will lose myself and forget everything. ”
"In the afternoon, His Excellency Rossi brought me news that I could not leave here for the time being. She told me that there was a disagreement within the church about my evaluation. The main differences centred on the issue of Alyssa and Ms. Baines, both of which had been adopted by His Excellency Rossi. Lord Rossi also mentioned that this disagreement even brought up what had happened to the 'psychic' when her illness first showed signs. ”
"The message Ms. Baines left mentioned that the last question she asked was 'why Alyssa had regained her sense of self'. Her accident in this matter proves that Alyssa's return to her senses is closely related to the hidden existence associated with me. According to Celeria, the contamination of the 'primordial moon' on Alyssa has been almost completely replaced by another pollution, and she has also lost the memory of how she regained her sanity and defeated the 'werewolf', but unlike Ms. Baines, she does not show the same madness as Ms. Baines. ”
"These proofs all prove that the hidden existence with which I am connected is more active than I imagined. In addition, referring to the point where I told Lord Rossi that my memory was blurred that day, the Church believes that this hidden being was actively involved in the events related to the 'Primordial Moon'. This raises the question, why did this secret existence take the initiative to meddle in this matter this time, which has never been active? Does this mean that this hidden being is not as harmless as previously assessed? The church was divided over this. ”
"Your Excellency Rossi told me that I need to stay here a little longer, as the discussion has not yet been concluded."
"It wasn't what I expected, and it met my expectations, but it still didn't make me happy."
"Mother must go back tomorrow, after all, this is a critical period for my father's proposal to abolish the guild system, and my mother's social interaction will play a very important role in this."

"Spent the night of the second full moon here. Maybe it's because of the experience or maybe the potion has been partially digested, and it feels a lot easier than the first time. ”
"The 'prisoner' had already completed his digestion as early as the 5th, and is currently trying to play the role of 'madman'. Well, the priest who always brought me food was so frightened by me that he almost thought I was out of control several times. A few times his feedback made my potion digestion progress increase a lot, and I was so timid. It's a pity that he has become resistant to my role lately. ”
"His Excellency Rossi told me that the church has decided to release me and that I can leave tomorrow. I asked her about the outcome of the church's discussions, and Her Excellency Rossi snorted a few times before finally saying, 'This is God's decision.'" ”
"Is it the oracle of the Mother Goddess? Speaking of which, the Mother Goddess seems to be very concerned about me, and Her Excellency Rossi is also a member of the Mother Goddess. Praise the Mother Goddess! ”
"To be honest, I've lived here for nearly two months, and I'm reluctant to leave all of a sudden. But I miss the soft bed, the bright windows, and the flowers outside the windows more than anything else. It's already May, and I guess it's beautiful to be in the middle of the flowers outside the window. ”

Agnes followed Ms. Jones out of the church's underground passage, the bright daylight shining through the stained-glass windows, causing her to subconsciously raise her arms to cover her eyes.
In the past two months, she has left the underground several times, basically after dusk, and when night falls, she hardly sees daylight. She's been living like a vampire sleeping underground for the past two months, no, she's a 'werewolf,' Agnes thought.
Agnes felt herself adjust to the harsh sunlight a little, and she lowered her arms and looked ahead.
She saw that the church's large dome stretched out like a canopy of trees. The square pillars on both sides are like the branches of trees, rising from the ground. The light shines through the stained-glass windows, casting various colors of light and shadow on the ground, like flowers blooming on the grass in the woods, with vibrant colors.
She felt as if she was in the middle of a dense forest, and her mother and brother stood in the middle of it, smiling at her.
