Volume 2 Why the Sun Shines Chapter 85 The Sun in the Orphanage (3)
Abel couldn't figure out how Jacobin, an ordinary person, began to worship the goddess of death.
Could it be that the royal city is no longer a pure land, this belief began to spread like a plague from the hunting grounds of Heron, but no one would have predicted that the royal city would fall.
It's a terrible sign, but all I can do is tell Alice or May and warn them that I need to focus on investigating the orphanage now.
And he saw that Jacobin was holding the stone statue and refused to let go, and no matter how politely Margaret asked, he did not say a word.
"I'd love to advise you to stop worshipping this thing, but apparently my words aren't that convincing." Abel asked Margaret to take out the pen and paper she was in charge of, and then smiled kindly, and continued, "There are only a few simple questions that you need to answer for us, and I won't ask anything about the goddess you believe in. ”
"Just about some anomalies in the orphanage, I just need to know specific things about this."
When he said this, Jacobin's eyes began to waver, and when he saw this, Abel couldn't help but cheer up: "It's effective." ”
Jacobin finally stood up, holding the stone statue and placing it carefully on the table beside him, and it was not too much to take care of it. Seeing this, Margaret glanced at Abel and signaled that she was ready to take notes.
"Then I'll start asking, dear Mr. Dean. According to the records, you looked after the last orphans more than a decade ago, but then for unknown reasons, all the orphans disappeared, but you still had the name of the director until the company bought the orphanage a few days ago. ”
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Abel's questioning was unhurried, and Margaret was able to keep a good rhythm to record, so that the room could clearly hear the sound of her writing.
Jacobin was silent for a long time, as if recalling a person's life, and opened Chrysostom with a distracted expression:
"After that, it was the beginning of my belief in the goddess, and how do I start talking about it, I think it was the first time I noticed that there was a child whose nails began to grow extraordinarily."
Memories are a gateway to the pool of human emotions that have hit the door, and when he begins to speak, it is like a parent who is extremely derelict in his duties and falls into infinite guilt.
"At first I thought it was just that little guy who didn't care much about hygiene, because who could have predicted the real reason? Every time I trimmed his nails, they would get longer the next day, which was where I first noticed that something was wrong. ”
"But the kid started to grow so fast, you know what I'm talking about, he was only about ten years old at the time, and he was visibly too strong to look like a human being."
"At that time, I asked a few doctors to come and see him, but for some reason, he didn't want to tell me the truth when he walked out of the room."
At this point, Jacobin's emotions began to become a little uncontrollable, and it was only after Margaret had been reassured that he had calmed down and continued.
"Then something even weirder happened, and I started to notice that my children were starting to get fewer and fewer, and that was when you woke up and found that a certain child was gone! I was scared, but I couldn't show it or the kids would be in a panic. ”
Suddenly, Jacobin began to cover his head, he recalled the saddest memory of his life, and said intermittently: "Until, until a full moon.... It's a full moon, I'm not mistaken, how can I remember wrong?? ”
"I woke up occasionally at night and found that the kid had become.... A... Wolf-like, oh my God, his wolf's mouth is bleeding. That's when I found out that he had eaten the missing children! ”
By the time it was recorded, Margaret's eyes had widened in disbelief and she was looking at Abel.
Abel replied with a pale smile, he was not surprised, but hoped that things would not be as painful as he expected.
Yes, Margaret, the world is full of blood and sin.
And we're going to face them soon.
He couldn't bear to continue asking, but he was forced to need enough information: "So the wolf-like in the orphanage is that child now?" But in that case, the church would not have let a wolf child live for so long. ”
"Later, with the help of another person, I kicked the wolf child out of the orphanage, but there were no more children in the orphanage. But the other day, this guy is back there, and in the back is the business buying the orphanage. ”
"Who helped you?"
Jacobin fell silent again, saying only that he could not say, that this was a question that could not be asked. Then he looked out the window with an even more empty expression, as if no matter how bright the sunlight outside was, it could not dispel even the pain that was cold to the bottom of his heart.
Able had already got what he needed, and there was no reason to ask any more, and he was ready to let the poor fellow sit quietly on his own.
Outside, on the side of the road, Abel leaned against the steam car and was thinking about something, while Margaret said to herself, "It's really... It's cruel. ”
"But there are some things that don't make sense." Abel heard Margaret's words to herself, and said calmly, "I know how aggressive a wolf is in the full moon, and if he falls into the moon's rage, he should eat up the orphanage in one night." ”
"Could it be that a ten-year-old wolf, eating his food reserves one full moon after another, according to the plan, can still make Jacobin never realize it before?"
Margaret was also hooked into speculation by Abel's words, and she gently pinched her earlobe, and began to use words to try the original appearance of a criminal planned murder.
"According to Jacobin's description, the blood in the mouth of the wolf-like wolf at that time could only be orphaned, and there could be no deviation."
"And if Jacobin had witnessed it on the spot, he actually survived."
Abel patted the iron sheet of the car next to him: "We don't know enough, why didn't we look for the church at that time?" It's just that it is not appropriate to drive away, and Jacobin refuses to say who the helper is. And the wolf-like can run into the forest, but he is back, more than ten years later, and it is definitely not a memory of his glorious life anyway. ”
After speaking, he patted his head and took responsibility for the safety of the lives of the two of them and said:
"We can't go into the orphanage for a few hunter's days this week, there are too many unknown risks, and we need more intelligence."
The letter of order does not state a deadline at the moment, and Able carefully chooses to enter the orphanage when everything is ready, and a high-level wolf is not a small problem. Relying on two academy idiots to speculate, the probability of getting the truth correct is not great.
Margaret nodded, agreeing with Abel's opinion, she pulled the car door and sat in to start the steam car, and at the same time motioned for Abel to sit in: "Then Mr. Abel, are we going back to the house next, or are we going back to Maria's church?" ”
"Miss Margaret, going home now will be considered missing for no reason, please go to the Church of Maria."
When they returned to the vicinity of the church, several mutilated bodies were already temporarily displayed outside the church covered with golden cloth strips, which were the first few rookies to die.
It's not heroic, and later, according to what Jackson said, he was opened by the demon bird before he could react.
The pastor of the church was in the cemetery outside the church, holding a black temple star frame to pray for their souls, and Jackson on the side had a calm expression, he had seen this kind of thing countless times.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Four, there are a few fewer than in previous years, it's really a fool to be a fool." ”
Seeing Margaret drive Abel back here, his expression finally fluctuated, because according to his own calculations, if the two of them dared to enter the orphanage, then there should be two more words of remains here.
He walked over to the side of the road and helped guide the two of them to the right place.
"Good afternoon, rookies, I'm glad to see you alive."
Abel got out of the car, looked at the situation on the other side of the cemetery, and felt relieved. Only Margaret, with a disturbed expression, listened to the sound of death for the first time.
Abel's statement that life needs respect has now been sublimated to a new level.
Once you are gone, there is no afterlife, there is nothing, and feeling death before you die is the only experience, and then the years go by, and no one remembers who you are.
Francis, on the other hand, is experiencing this feeling of death touching the heart every seven days in Gustav.
"We decided to go back to the orphanage next Hunter's Day or later, and according to my initial investigation with Margaret, it was much more dangerous than people had said."
Jackson nodded with satisfaction: "You did the right thing, I look forward to your next performance, now come with me to attend the funeral of my comrades." ”
He led Abel and Margaret into the crowd and listened to the pastor's prayers.
The pastor first praised them for their courage, and then, instead of saying something nice and good, he reaffirmed for them the reality of death and how to value people's lives.
You can hate me, your boss Jackson or your nagging mom, but don't think about self-termination and getting involved in original sin.
The uniqueness of life exists, it's a one-way ticket to an airship, and before you get off the train, always ask yourself, how about staying for another five minutes? ’
Margaret listened attentively, for she had never experienced death so truly in a noble house.
It's right next to it, and maybe tomorrow it's going to kiss itself.
And this most important lesson of life, the Messianic family preached to Abel many times, and he had already formed the right concept.
So at this moment, Abel was very serious and sent condolences to these poor people who had died.
Today's 12:18 p.m. is their first collective death prayer in this issue.
