Chapter 82: 'Apostles' and 'Vessels'?
"You're interested in Sarah?" Lunn's gaze was fixed on Agnes.
"She's funny, isn't she?" Agnes couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, "She obviously shouldn't belong there, although her rehearsal assignment was well done." β
Agnes looked back at the theater, which was hidden by the night, and said with interest.
"'Thank you very much, Ms. Poyethea.' Agnes mimicked Sarah's tone, "Cute, isn't it?" Although she was a little wary of me at first. β
"You seem to like her, I thought you were just looking for some information about the Segues Theatre."
"I have the same idea, but I'm just a little interested in it." Agnes shrugged her shoulders and changed the subject, "I think there's something missing from the theater's dome, like, a giant crystal lamp?" The candle alone isn't enough to light up the entire theater. β
"Yes, the theater did lose their crystal lamp," Lenn nodded, unsurprised, and he couldn't help but laugh without even any other meaning, "I think they should wish they hadn't had one." I wonder what lighting they are going to use for their scheduled show in a few days? β
Agnes felt a little familiar inexplicably, as if she had heard something similar somewhere, so she subconsciously asked: "How many were killed?" β
Lunn shook his head helplessly, "No one died, but many people were injured, and the interesting thing is that the lamp was unharmed." β
"What else is going on besides this?" Agnes couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked.
"Someone assassinated Lord Bartlet's in front of the theater while the crowd was being evacuated." Lunn said meaningfully, "And he was not far from the point of the fall when the crystal lamp fell, but unscathed. β
"It looks like the theater was just unlucky to be chosen as the assassination site." Agnes turned her head and said in a flat tone, "It has nothing to do with us. β
"Do you think so?" Lunn looked at Agnes and nodded abruptly, "I see, we really ought to think so. β
Agnes couldn't help but glance sideways at Lunn with a strange look, but didn't say anything.
......
"November 17th,"
"I can be sure that my time with His power has had a great impact on my mental state, not just the so-called "second madness". At present, it includes, but is not limited to, subconsciously feeling disgusted by the other person's indulgence in the temptation of the senses, and appreciating the pursuit of self-realization by others. If these are His reasons...... That's weirdβhe shouldn't have a preference for ants unless it has something to do with the authority he holds......"
Agnes picked up her pen and waited a moment for the ink to dry on her journal.
"You know who are you trying to deceive without Him?" The voice in her head sounded, and Agnes looked at the reflective glass lampshade outside the kerosene lamp, and the corners of Huizhen's mouth hooked a little sarcastic face on it, "The reason why you are like this is only because of yourself, after all, they don't seem to be 'alive', and you don't like your 'walking corpse syndrome'." β
"Why not Him?" Agnes didn't speak, just looked at the face on the lampshade and responded in her mind.
"When 'I' was confronted with Bodivia's situation, I was keenly aware of the opportunity for him to intervene, so I let my 'waiter' recite his honorific name......"
"What does this 'He' gain in the midst of this?" Hye-jin interrupted Agnes' assumptions and asked questions bluntly.
"'His' thoughts should not be predicted by me," Agnes smiled, "maybe it's because 'He' is already hostile to the one who is about to come and doesn't want to see the other person succeed, or maybe it's because 'He' has good intentions towards the Mother Earth Church and is willing to show his kindness by helping......"
"Or maybe it's just that the person who wants to tap into His power has something special about it, and He responds when the other person asks for it." Hui Zhen directly finished Agneth's answer, "This is what you thought of to fool the Remnant of Sins Order. β
Hui Zhen said with a little sarcasm: "A dependent? The whole Pagani family can be counted in a sense, and you are obviously more special than them, after all, even your 'attendant' can get a response to chanting 'Him' name. β
"Maybe it's not just 'the 'Dependent,'" Agnes calmly explains, "but also some kind of 'Apostle' and 'Vessel' with a special meaning. β
"He is hidden in the shadows, and I will be a vessel for Him. I have been protected by Him, and I have enjoyed the incomparably sweet taste of honey, and in return, I should have experienced the stench of blood corruption for Him, and I was born by Him, and received the power given by Him, so in return, I should also take His desires as my own, right? β
The eyes reflected in the glass lampshade were staring at Agnes with indescribable complexity.
"It's all right, right?" Agnes looked calmly at the face reflected in the lampshade and whispered.
"Is this what you're trying to ask?" Hui Zhen was silent for a moment, looking a little crying and laughing.
Agnes didn't speak, just flipped the journal under her hand to a new page.
"You can do whatever you want." Hui Zhen's eyes were fixed on Agnes' eyes, and she said with a rather serious look.
"That's a good thing." Agnes looked up and looked into the lampshade's eyes, "Looks like I'm special enough." β
"Of course you're special enough." The face on the lampshade looked like a sigh, "You are the only real one, only you have your own desires." β
"What are you talking about?" Agnes frowned, glancing at the face on the lampshade with a strange look, "I'm talking about how to fool the Order of Remnant with 'Him' existence. β
Hye-jin glanced at Agnes, and her face disappeared from the glass lampshade.
......
"The Apprentice' Bar ......," Agnes tugged at her cloak, looking at the people in long cloaks who were coming in and out of the bar, "I thought it would look a little strange here when we wore it like that." β
"That's what makes this bar special." Lunn lowered his voice and replied in a tone that seemed to be intimidating.
Agnes shrugged her shoulders and spoke in a tone reminiscent of last night's opera rehearsal, "Why am I so excited?" Oh, tonight's party gave me so much to look forward to. β
