There was a sudden movement outside the door of the Great Hall of Westminster Abbey, and Red Robin turned his head suddenly, and saw through the crack in the door an elderly clergyman staggering in, still holding a Bible.

"Oh God, Oh God! I ask your protection, please end my life, and I will return to you in purity......"

And when the old pastor opened the door and saw Red Robin standing in front of the pulpit, his eyes widened suddenly, and the expression on his face was not anger but surprise.

"Are you God's gift to me? Quick, boy, come to me, pierce my heart with this cross, kill me! ”

Red Robin rushed over quickly and helped the old priest, but the old priest still staggered down, and Red Robin could only put him on the chair next to him, and as soon as he lifted his clothes, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

"When vampires invade London, their first stop must be the Cathedral...... "The old priest gasped hard, grabbed the Bible in his hand and said, "I have been bitten by a pathfinder and I can't live, but I must not become that bloodthirsty monster!" ”

"I have served God all my life to atone for my sins to the Lord, and I will never make me unclean at the last moment...... Child, take this cross and stick it in my heart, it's the only way to stop me from turning into a monster! ”

The old priest grabbed Red Robin's wrist with his thin palm, looked up at Red Robin's eyes with cloudy and old eyes, and said, "I can see, I can see that you have done countless good deeds, and you are a righteous person of God, and you will give me a good death today!" ”

Red Robin grasped the cross, there was no hesitation on his face, only a hint of coldness that he had never shown before, he pressed the old priest's shoulder to make him lie back, held his chest to give him relief, and said, "Is there any way to redeem it?" ”

"No, kid, this group of flying rats have venom in their teeth, even if the holy water can detoxify, I am too old to survive the fierce collision of two energies, if there is a young fighter, you can save him like this."

"I remember, I can help you, but I want you to promise me one condition."

"I'm a dying man, there's nothing I can give you......"

"You still have your corpse, I need to leave a letter with your corpse and do what I have to do."

The old priest stared into Red Robin's eyes, watching his still slightly immature face split into black and white in the light that came out of the crack in the cathedral door.

"I promise you, child, that if your hands are covered with blood, and you must remember the glory of the Lord in your heart, you will not fall, you will never ...... Ahh ”

The cross was inserted into the old priest's heart, and the deterioration of the bloody wound between his neck ceased as the old heart stopped beating.

Red Robin closed his eyes hard, pulled out the cross, exhaled, and said to Lilith in his mind as if to be distracted, "Do you know what I saw on the pulpit? ”

Without waiting for Lilith to answer, he explained to himself: "In the eyes of a certain type of people, art is not the beauty of existence, but the eternal irreparable regret and scar caused by the moment when beauty is destroyed." ”

"For them, the meaning of life's existence is not the process of its existence, but how the world will understand it at the moment when it ends."

"They see everything in this world from a different perspective, so let the sacrifices be sacrificed, the immortal burned, and the precious discarded...... Let the flight fall. ”

"Unfortunately, I'm one of those people."

Red Robin reached out and hugged the old pastor's body, and then carried him step by step to the pulpit.

"I'm different from all the other Robins who appreciate Batman's greatness, and I appreciate his pain, the darkness he has caused by his forever irreparable regrets."

"They look up at Batman, and I'm the only one looking down on him, looking at this scarred soul wandering in the darkness without relief, and then fantasizes that only I can free him."

"One day, I will either save him or kill him, and this can only be done by me, no matter which opportunity comes first, I will not let it go."

Red Robin gently placed the old pastor's body in front of the pulpit, then knelt on the ground, his hands pressed against his chest.

"When I saw what was on the pulpit, I knew I had met a fellow man who was just as morbid as I was, who appreciated the same beauty, but who had the ability to put it all into practice."

"He wanted me to do the same, so he painted three parts of a painting, leaving only one corner."

"No one can refuse to work with a master to complete a great work, and I can't resist the temptation, so I will help him finish his art, and also mine."

"Until the sacrificer is sacrificed, the immortal is burned up, the precious is cast away, and the flying beast falls."

"Don't talk about it." Lilith's voice sounded in Red Robin's mind, quite hysterical: "I don't want to hear these crazy words from you, don't you want to tempt me to help ......"

At this point, her voice stopped abruptly, and Lilith realized what she had said, and she roared even more angrily.

"You're tempting me?! Are you the devil or am I the devil?!! ”

Red Robin turned the old priest's body over and made him lie face down on the ground, with his hands at his sides, lying directly in front of the pulpit, head facing the door, and then pulled a dagger from his waist.

"When was the last time you contracted a human?"

"A thousand or two thousand years ago." Lilith sighed and said, "Has the current human race developed like this?" ”

"Yes, this is humanity, welcome to human society."

Red Robin said as his hand moved, and he pressed the tip of his sharp dagger against the bulge of the vertebrae at the base of the old priest's neck.

With a "poof", the knife stabbed between the ribs in the back of the corpse, and then cut a small incision.

With a slow and steady movement, Red Robin peeled the skin off the old priest's back in a strange downward motion, lifting them upward.

"Do you know what you're doing?" There was a rare hint of fear and uncertainty in Lilith's tone, and she took a deep breath and emphasized: "You are not afraid to desecrate the body of a clergyman in the largest church in London, in front of God......"

"If I had been afraid, the call would not have reached you."

Lilith was silent, and as the movements of Red Robin's hand became faster and faster, Lilith couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?" I remind you that if God does come, I will say that you did it, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

"No way, I will immediately cry to him and say that you have tempted me, otherwise what do you think I am taking you for?"

"You ......"

"I said, welcome to human society."

Red Robin carefully flipped the two pieces of skin on his back and pressed them against the old priest's shoulder, then he reached into the old priest's body and gently pulled out the aging lungs.

"I warn you, enough is enough!" Lilith almost gritted her teeth as she spoke, her tone full of uneasiness: "God is really here, let's finish playing together!" ”

"If God had come, he would have come long before his believers were suffering, and if God had caused him to die, I would not have overstepped."

Red Robin took a deep breath and began to cut his lungs into strips with a dagger, covering them with skin.

After a long and meticulous operation, Red Robin finally stood up, walked down the steps with a dagger, and then turned to look at his results.

The old priest was placed on his stomach with his arms outstretched, his head facing the door, and because of the stairs, the oncoming people could just see his back.

It was a pair of bat wings covered by bones and skin from the lungs, silently spread between its arms, and the faint light of the three Gothic spire windows shone on its body, revealing a lot of beauty from the weirdness and gore.

The sound outside the Great Hall of Westminster Abbey grew noisier and the moonlight darker, and an invisible gust of wind pushed the door open completely, and countless pairs of blood-red eyes coveted the treasure of God.

With a gentle breeze, a pair of pitch-black boots fell from top to bottom, gently stepping on the fluff on the soft carpet, and between the two pairs of shoes, the blurred shadow of the corpse became clearer and clearer.

The joy of victory in Cain's blood-colored eyes vanished in an instant, leaving only a deeper gloom and coldness and an almost unquenchable anger that had never been felt before.

"Have you ever heard an argument? The best way to punish a sinner is not to do good things, but to do worse bad things in front of him. ”

On the banks of the Thames, Red Robin held his hands on the railing and faced the river, looked at the blazing fire on the other side, and said, "The letter I left for Cain must have made him extremely angry." ”

"Because he died and rose again, gathered tribes, and waged wars for revenge on God, and the way to get revenge was to attack the church and blaspheme God, but I did it first."

"There is only one chance to defile Westminster Abbey, and as long as I win first, he won't win."

Lilith was silent for a long time before she spoke: "As long as you do the work of the demon, the demon will no longer be able to spread evil, do you feel that this idea of yours is a little bit ...... Put the cart before the horse? ”

"That's too superficial for you to know." Red Robin smiled, put his hand on his face and said, "It's the devil's job to spread evil, but it's not mine, I robbed the devil's job with my hobby, who loses?" ”

He snorted coldly and said, "Cain spent so much effort to resurrect for the purpose of revenge, and I am just looking for some leisure activities in my spare time. ”

"It's not the first time I've touched a corpse, there are countless corpses in this world that I can touch, Cain is the first time I've taken the cathedral, but there's no second Westminster Abbey in this world that can give him the thrill of defiling the holy in a new state."

Lilith didn't have a good relationship with God either, so she took her own place, then sighed and said, "You and my good nephew don't have such a big feud, why should you do that?" ”

"Oh my God, what am I talking about?!" Lilith's slightly broken voice came again: "You are the only human in thousands of years that I have not succeeded in temptation!" You still want me to carry the black pot for you? I shouldn't have answered your call in the first place! ”

Red Robin smiled and said, "Do you think it's my fault?" Have you ever thought that someone else might have tempted me? ”

“…… The murderer? ”

"That's right, the murderer of the vampire, Professor Schiller, I now know why Jason was scared of him when he first met him."

"He saw me clearly in just a few days and guided me step by step to do these things when needed."

"Seducing a detective with the truth, forcing me to go to Westminster Abbey to make sure my guess about the vampire's death was correct, using the scene from the church and the bottle of fat to make me understand the theme of his crime, using my ability to appreciate this art to make me understand the beauty in it, and wanting to help him finish it."

"Taking advantage of the death of innocents and the chaos of order society stirred my heart of justice, made me want to punish Cain, and used my talent for murder so that the most important moment of Cain's revenge will never be perfected."

Red Robin sighed softly, raised his hand, looked at his fingertips that were still trembling slightly under the dim moonlight, and said, "...... What's even more terrifying is that it makes me feel so happy that I even tremble with excitement. ”

This time Lilith was silent for a longer time, as if to organize the language, and after a while, she commented very objectively.

"If he had been born in the Garden of Eden, what would have happened to the serpent?"

I guess little fools don't read the Bible
