Esther was about to succumb to the voice in her head, and in the windless room, her hair fluttered slightly, as if urging her to say yes as soon as possible.

But emotionally and intellectually, it was impossible for Esther to form an alliance with someone who believed in the "inverted cross", her colleagues in Tingen had suffered from it, and the Black Thorn Security Company had been ruined, and although Ince Zangwille and the broken quill were behind it, Esther did not want to compromise.

Her right hand moved, but this time Esther was scratching at her forehead, and she briefly stole the thought of "willingness", forcing the restless light in her mind to fall silent, and the stolen thought slipped directly from her fingertips, as if there was nothing left after grabbing a handful of sand, and there was no substitute at all.

Esther then reversed course and grabbed Mr. A and Norn twice in the air, her body taking two awkward steps forward, while Mr. A and Norn stopped in place.

Seizing the gap between the two of them, Esther quickly retreated, unscrewed the door behind her, and followed the escape route that she had rehearsed several times in her mind, all the way out of the garden of the mansion.

Her escape was successful, but in the final analysis, Mr. A was defenseless, and he really did not have any hostile intentions. If a head-on battle did occur, it would be impossible for Esther to deal with Mr. A, who was grazing souls from multiple pathways.

It only took two seconds for Mr. A to come back to his senses, the smile on his face faded, and he put his finger on his forehead suspiciously: "...... Thieves? How could it be a thief? ”

It took him nearly a minute to get his thoughts back, and the feeling of his head emptying made him dazed, but after seeing Mr. A's beautiful and almost demonic face, Norn immediately regained his memory of what had just happened.

"Luna, she—I'm going to chase her!"

"No, she's not supposed to be a thief, I need to go and pray to the Lord for clearer instructions."

"But I'm afraid she won't stay any longer, and we'll have a hard time finding her again," said Norn, Esther's eyes seeing him completely as a betrayer, "and she looked so afraid......

Mr. A walked to another back door that led to the underground: "Come with me to the prayer room, Norne. Even if she leaves today, Zoya will one day understand that the Lord is her truest light. ”

I don't know where he got the confidence, so he smiled and said conclusively: "The Lord is not anxious, this is an unexpected joy, Zoya will definitely go to the Lord's side in the future." ”

Hearing this, Norn's heart tightened, and he felt flustered for no reason, and he quickly repented of his doubts, and silently drew the symbol of the inverted cross on his chest.

Mr. A suddenly spoke: "Have you recorded the song that Zoya sang?" ”

Norn nodded: "It's already transcribed, in my head, and on me." ”

When the prayer was over, the Lord answered by leaving your mask and cloak behind. I'll slot Zoya's possible whereabouts, and while she can easily avoid our sights, I'll have to give it a try......"

——

Esther wrapped her cloak so tightly that she didn't even know how far she had run, she stopped an empty taxi carriage and drilled straight inside: "The nearest subway station, please hurry up!" ”

The coachman muttered something in a whisper to the lady who had run out of Queens in a panic on the big night, but when the five sulter notes appeared under his nose, he immediately shut his mouth.

This is more than twice the normal fare, and when someone asks, they say they haven't seen it or don't know, anyway, what the passengers do has little to do with a cart, and there are more weirdos in Beckland......

The first impression of people getting along with others is very easy to be deceived by appearance. Esther was sighing at the moment.

Obviously, the incident of everyone playing the birch forest together happened yesterday, and Norn smiled at her with tears in his eyes at that time.

At that time, he was probably already thinking about bringing me to Mr. A, right?

Esther took off her mask, took off her cloak, and sat in the steady carriage, feeling the colder and colder in her heart.

Mr. A's strange flesh and blood shadow, Esther felt a chill when she thought about it, she consumed her mind in comfort, and couldn't make more preparations!

It would be nice if there were seals around to take advantage of them, so that they wouldn't fall into passivity like this, but Esther could only sigh again compared to the high price she saw at the rally.

Xiao Wu moved in her pocket, and Asther held it in the palm of her hand, smiling quite reluctantly: "Are you awake?" ”

Xiao Wu didn't speak for a while, and then shook his head: "They are believers in the 'True Creator', and they are all extraordinary people in that 'Secret Prayer Man' path. ”

"That's right."

Xiao Wu can receive Esther's complex feelings, even as a doppelganger with independent consciousness, it has never felt so many emotions.

It never knew that feelings could make people almost crushed, which made Xiao Wu irritable, but also tried to find a topic to explain Esther, in order to free himself from this one-sided emotional oppression: "We are not like them, that 'hanging man' is the enemy we have been enemies since the last era. ”

Esther grabbed a strand of hair with her free left hand and looked at it in front of her eyes, "Can I trust you...... I don't know, I feel like the world is a whole hoax right now......"

At the moment when her spiritual intuition was abnormal, she almost felt that control of her body could be taken away, and this strange change made Esther realize that the greatest danger might come from herself.

But Xiao Wu was silent again because of the "trust", and it took more than ten seconds to speak again: "You wouldn't be willing to recite the honorific name of any existence, would you?" ”

This time, Esther stopped talking, and her gray eyes staring at Xiao Wu became hazy and gloomy.

"If you don't read it, you don't read it, and it is extremely dangerous to establish a connection with extraordinary beings above the angelic level. Wait for you to pack up your things and leave Lily of the Valley Street, and we'll go find Xiao Qi. ”

A little hope burned in Esther's eyes: "Wait, you said Xiao Qi? You're still connected to it!? ”

"Xiao Qi has been to Apartment Seven several times in order to maintain a certain degree of 'contact' with you. You are indeed too dull to be self-aware. ”

"Then why did it leave the ...... so suddenly?"

Xiao Wu betrayed Xiao Qi without the slightest hesitation: "Xiao Qi is not vigilant against you, it is the 'Tail Swallower' in your dream, he is the king of angels under the Hanged Man." At that time, Xiao Qi was just looking for an excuse to leave, in fact, to investigate the old history books about the Third Age. ”

"The King of Angels? I'm so thankful for the damn dreams of this world, why didn't it get good! Esther leaned limply in the car, swaying gently with the body.

"Beckland's forces are complicated, they can't set foot here, and you're safe here."

Esther wanted to scold two swear words, but she also knew that these unfortunate things had little to do with Xiao Wu, so she sighed weakly: "Alas, you should have seen me running away in embarrassment." ”

"If you use the power in your head, you can escape even under the hands of a demigod, what are you afraid of? Strength is your confidence. ”

"I don't have this kind of confidence myself, where did you get your confidence!"

Just as Xiao Wu was about to say something, the coachman knocked on the carriage and signaled that Esther had arrived.

Arriving at the Steam subway station, Esther bought a ticket, deliberately left her mask and cloak under her seat, and when she arrived at the south side of the bridge, she lined up at the window and learned the route of the bus to Yuejihua Street from the impatient conductor.

She didn't have that much time to get over, she didn't even have time to be glad that Mr. A hadn't caught up, and Esther had to tell Mrs. Romano about it—Norn had believed in some strange god that might be dangerous to the rest of the apartment!

But she could not go back to Lily of the Valley Street, so she had to compromise and tell Father Utrawski about it, and Esther could see that he was also extraordinary, and even if he ignored his height, he gave Esther a deeper sense of oppression than Mrs. Romano.

The crimson moon set beyond the cloudy sky of Beckland, and only the light of kerosene lamps shone at the feet of the streets, elongating the shadows of the hurried pedestrians, and in the shadows there seemed to hide many invisible eyes, which made the fearful people more and more frightened.

Esther had wanted to buy another hooded cloak, but by this time, there weren't many small shops still open in the south area of the bridge.

Even at night, the architecture of the chapel stands out, although it does not occupy a large area.

When she saw the emblem of life, Esther hesitated for a moment, and then stepped firmly to the door of the Harvest Chapel, where the candles were still lit and someone should be inside.

Compared to dealing with Father Utravsky, who is suspected of being a god, the safety of the lives of the people on Lily of the Valley Street is of course more important, and Esther can weigh it without thinking.

She knocked on the closed door of the church, and to Esther's surprise, the door opened much faster than she had expected.

"I smelled the strange smell from afar, and it was really you."

Esther's face turned red, what strange smell? She subconsciously raised her cuffs and sniffled, but she didn't smell anything.

Then she remembered to look at this somewhat unfamiliar and somewhat familiar voice:

The door of the church was opened by a handsome young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, his clear features slightly feminine, his habitual upward posture showing well the haughty qualities of his character, his thin lips pursed in dissatisfaction, his black hair combed back obliquely, and only fine bangs on either side of his forehead.

The young man pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand, as if the "strange smell" made him uncomfortable, and he was even wearing the priest's uniform of the Church of Mother Earth God.

Esther clearly remembered that the last time she was here, she hadn't seen this young man, but there had been a new member in just over a month, and Father Utrawski should have been very happy, this priest was a local? Or an assistant sent by the Church of Mother Earth God?

Esther could sense that the other party was also extraordinary, but now was not the time to dwell on this: "Sorry to bother you, I have something to find Father Utravsky, can you help me call him?" Something urgent! ”

"Oh...... You can come in and sit on your own, you can't sit a few people a day anyway. ”

Candles were also lit in the prayer hall, which allowed Esther to see the young man in front of her more clearly, especially his overly pale complexion and naturally blood-red eyes.

"Huh? Bloodsucker? ”

"Bloodline! It's a noble bloodline! Vampires are ignorant and ignorant prejudices! ”

The young man yelled in annoyance.
