Mrs. Romano brought a towel and a bathrobe, and muttered to Esther again, but Esther saw the essence of her knife-mouthed tofu heart clearly.

The night was quiet, and as soon as the glimmer of light peeked out from the horizon, Esther immediately woke up. There was the sound of wings fluttering outside the window, but when she ran to open the window, there were several small larks falling outside the window. They were tilting their heads and chirping crisply, looking at them curiously.

Esther rubbed some of the remaining sandwiches from the previous night and sprinkled them on the window edge, then stepped away to watch the petite birds peck, while she went to the bathroom to take care of it, and then prepared to try her luck in the nearby neighborhood - she had always been surprisingly lucky, and the good fortune of "making all wishes" could be some kind of extraordinary power, right?

Esther pondered it carefully, and felt that this was not impossible, and the light in her mind was really wonderful.

When Esther stepped out of the apartment, Mrs. Romano was standing in front of No. 7 Lily of the Valley Street watering the flowers, and she beckoned Esther to pass.

"Good morning, Mrs. Romano."

Mrs. Romano was still wearing her floor-sweeping dress, with her head full of exaggerated hairpins, and a pink woven blanket wrapped around her, not caring about the dirt around the edges. She is taking care of each pot and square flower bed with a watering can in her hand: "How was your rest last night?" You're up early, at least not a slacker, plants get up early, ma'am! ”

Although she felt that it was a bit outrageous to compare people to plants in this regard, Esther still laughed: "Plants always have a lot of qualities that we can learn from. What's the matter with you calling me? ”

"Do you have anything you like? Flowers and plants, I'll plant a little bit here. Whenever a new client moves in, I do something variety. ”

"So when they see these plants, they feel happy and feel a sense of belonging?"

As soon as Mrs. Romano lifted the watering can in her hand, the string of water droplets broke off, and she glared at Esther in annoyance: "What do you say!?" Seniors ask questions to know the answers! ”

Esther nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, if you want to talk about your favorite plants, I prefer sunflowers." ”

"yes, I see."

Esther stood where she was, but Mrs. Romano did not look at her again, and began to turn the pot, and after a few seconds, Esther hesitated and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Mrs. Romano raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, "Why are you still here?" What to do, what to do! I won't water you! ”

Mrs. Romano, you're so awkward! Esther muttered in her heart, and immediately walked to the other side of the street. In addition to going to see what vacancies were available, Esther would also look for them on Moon Flower Street, and she had something to ask Father Utrawski.

There were so many strange things behind the apartment that Esther decided to keep her distance until she could figure it out, lest she get involved in the Extraordinary's events again. If it turns out that half of this apartment for the Steam and Mechanic Church to support poor students is inhabited by extraordinary people, then this is a time bomb that could be detonated at any time......

At the very least, it is difficult for Esther not to help but help if she encounters a crisis that she cannot handle, and the result is naturally to expose herself.

There are always not many pedestrians on Moonflower Street, the Harvest Church is still deserted, and there are few believers in other churches in the kingdom of Rune, where the goddess of the night, the lord of storms, and the god of steam and machines are the main streamers. Even with permission to preach, few people would be willing to turn their backs on the gods they had previously believed in.

Fr. Utrawski still had the same peaceful face, he was sitting in the first row of the prayer hall, his hands and ten fingers intertwined palms in front of his mouth and nose, and the cloudy fluctuations in his eyes even looked much calmer than yesterday: "Good morning, Esther, has the mercy of the Mother Goddess touched you?" ”

"Uh...... Good morning, Father Utravsky. I wanted to ask about the apartment on Lily of the Valley Street. ”

Father Utravsky looked slightly surprised: "Didn't Lady Romano allow you to stay?" ”

Esther hurriedly waved her hand: "No, she is a very enthusiastic and good person, although she is a little anxious, she rented me a room at a very low price. But the other occupants of that apartment were a little strange, and I wondered if Mrs. Romano herself was extraordinary. ”

"She is the former bishop of Harvest Church. I remember it as the 'Harvest Priest' of the 'Mother' pathway. Because of her personal wishes, she was reluctant to be promoted again in middle age, and always stayed in sequence seven. ”

Sequence 7 is more inclined to the old saying in this era, "If you are high, you will not be able to do low", and being able to rise to this level shows that Mrs. Romano is talented. Esther continued, "Why didn't she seek any further?" ”

"Because of some family matters." Father Utravsky blocked Esther's curiosity with a single sentence.

"Actually, I had a little bit of something going on last night. Are there any other extraordinaries in this apartment? It is not convenient for me to ask Mrs. Romano directly. The main reason was that it was inconvenient to go to her to be scolded, and Esther silently slandered, and Mrs. Romano's attitude was too fierce.

"As far as I know, besides Lady Romano and you, there are at least two extraordinary, and if there are more, I don't know who they are."

Esther felt her old bottom being revealed again: "You know I'm extraordinary? Am I acting out of the ordinary? ”

Father Utravsky shook his head: "I can't confirm until you give me your blessing. ”

Esther was silent for two seconds, it seems that she should not talk nonsense in the future, but she didn't expect that just casually wishing others two words would threaten to blow up herself. It's not like one day when she says "I'm happy to die", and I'm really unlucky......

"Thank you for telling me that I never knew that before."

Utrawski looked up at the emblem of life at the front of the church, his gaze full of warmth and reverence, in contrast to the tall and strong body: "If it were not for the grace of the Mother Goddess, I would not have noticed this. ”

Esther nodded silently, said goodbye to Father Utrawski, and left the church quickly, determined not to come here in the future. Although she was grateful for Father Utravsky's help, Esther really didn't want to have any contact with any gods, and putting herself under the nose of the true god was the most dangerous thing for her, with the light on her body!

She subconsciously touched the silver Night Emblem in her arms, Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu had asked her to throw this thing away, and Esther also knew that she shouldn't bring anything from the Night Church anymore, but she was very reluctant.

Destined to be separated from everyone, she always wants to grab something from her past life.

——

Norn Murphy stepped into a mottled iron room near the school before heading to Esperi Public Elementary School on the East End to start his day.

The tinkin house was no different from the other equally cheap bungalows in the neighborhood, except for the fact that the doors were completely painted red, and there was no concern for the waste of paint money. This is already a luxury for the residents of the East Side, who are living a difficult life. But the people of the East End are so tired that no one cares about how others live, and if they don't earn enough wages, no one will give them shelter.

Sin became the most frequent shortcut, and the gods who promised vain were more likely to take advantage of it.

Norn knocked on the door, and soon there were three short and one long coughing sounds from inside, so he lowered his voice: "The Lord is with the world, and the Lamb is multitude, and faith in the Lord forever." ”

The sound of the latch grinding behind the red door opened immediately afterward, revealing a middle-aged man with pale sideburns and a tattered overalls. The middle-aged man's face was wrinkled more than in his sixties due to years of hard work in the docklands, and he dodged away to let Norn into the room, then quickly closed the door and locked it: "You always come so early, Norne. ”

The door was dark, all the windows were nailed with iron sheets, and only a few rays of sunlight were in the edge of the top of the wall. The only light source in the room was the red candle on the table, except for a table and a dozen benches stacked in the corners, and storage shelves with crumbling doors on both cabinets, and there was not even any extra furnishings in the room. In addition, there was a curtain with a red inverted cross printed on it, barely separating it from the next room, everything in the room was surprisingly clean, and the middle-aged man had a wet curtain on his hand, which seemed to have been torn from something and used as a rag by him.

Norn raised his hand and drew an inverted cross on his heart, his face still smiling with grace and charm, and his gaze was sincere: "My apartment is not convenient for prayer, and I do not want to shake my devotion to the Lord because of this. ”

"That's as it should be. You know, Mr. A is very optimistic about you. The middle-aged man's face was madly fanatical, his pupils dilated with excitement, and his reverent eyes revealed a little blood-red in the light of the candlelight.

"Mr. A was here two days ago?" Norn looked a little nervous.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "He just sent someone to send me a message, and it seems that there is a power of the Lord on Tingen's side for a short time, so let's be vigilant and keep an eye out for anyone from Tingen." ”

"It's from Tingen, but there's too much of an itinerant in the East," Noun sighed, licking his lips, "even if the task is difficult, we should do our best to hear the Lord's gospel." ”

The middle-aged man also drew an inverted cross in his heart: "Originally, I questioned your devotion to the Lord, but now it seems that Mr. A has already seen through us, and he can't hide anything from the Lord's eyes." You should be able to go further. Go ahead, after your morning prayer you have to go to the young lambs. ”

Norn smiled and lifted the curtain leading to the compartment: "May the Lord be with you and me, and with every living being." ”

The cubicle is darker than the outside, and if someone who is not familiar with the layout of the place enters, it will probably take several seconds to get used to the environment before they can barely see what is here:

The rudimentary but spotless shrine sits in the deepest part of a small half-room and is adorned with an upside-down cross from which hangs a one-eyed man with his head and feet. The sculpture as a whole is no longer than the arm length of an adult man, but its material seems to be made of crimson organs, and the body of the upside-down hanged man is covered with dense slightly convex blood vessels, in which the blood is constantly circulating and flowing slowly.

Norn knelt at the foot of the shrine, hung his head and closed his eyes tightly, and whispered the name of the Lord he believed in. As endless frenzied whispers poured into Norn's mind, the evil sculpture suddenly opened its closed eyes.

A slightly clearer name, gradually condensed into the tip of Noon's tongue. It wasn't until the end of the prayer that Norn, who was covered in cold sweat and had bloodshot eyes because of the pain, had time to pronounce the name of the Lord's call clearly:

"Zoya?"

The second more.
