Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 43 The Coffin

O'Connor dragged his tired body and stood there without saying a word.

"Under Roy's leadership, the Purifier team is still nearly completely wiped out?" Raskin sat on top, tapping lightly on the table, a look of solemnity on his face.

"Yes, Your Excellency. O'Connor lowered his head with a hint of pain on his face.

Teammates who fought side by side, lost three people in just one battle.

The youngest of them just joined a year ago and is only 19 years old this year......

Ruskin's face returned to his usual calmness, as if it was an ordinary thing, and said lightly: "Regarding the members of the squad who died in battle, double the subsidy will be given to their families, and we will not forget their sacrifices." ”

O'Connor nodded silently, he knew it was already the best ending.

Every member of the Purifier Squad has forgotten about life and death when they join, and fighting for the Lord is the greatest glory, even if it is a battlefield of death.

After a brief debriefing, O'Connor saluted and left, leaving the bishop alone in the room once again.

"It's a pity I couldn't send you......" Ruskin whispered to himself with a playful smile on his face.

Because there were no corpses in the cemetery, and there were no relics for the members of the Purifier team who died in battle, O'Connor quickly took care of his former companion's death.

"Chad!"

O'Connor, who was looking for something everywhere, suddenly stopped and stopped Chad, who was in a hurry.

"Your Excellency Bishop has arranged for your team to go to the western suburbs to deal with the decontamination of the cemetery. O'Connor calmed down, trying to make himself appear less emotional.

"yes, I see. He was stunned to find that as early as O'Connor's return to Halma, he had already received a notice about the cemetery in the West End.

Chad stepped forward, looked at O'Connor with some hesitation, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much about it, maybe one day, we'll go through the same thing, and maybe that's where we end up. ”

Listening to Chad's reassurance, O'Connor nodded expressionlessly and turned to leave the main church.

His work for today has been completed, and now he just wants to be alone.

Chad didn't retract his gaze until O'Connor left, taking a deep breath to find his teammates.

......

Roy sat in a carriage, listening to the rattling of the wheels and staring out the window with deep eyes.

The scenery on the side of the road quickly faded away and faded from view, and he glanced back thoughtfully.

"Ruskin......" Roy sighed softly.

The carriage drifted away to the shouts of the coachman until it disappeared at the end of the road.

Western suburbs, cemetery.

Only half of the cemetery was remarkably quiet, and the Purifier team hadn't arrived yet.

A broken tombstone suddenly made a slight vibration, a slight thud of a rope, which gradually became intense, and finally turned into a huge shaking.

"Boom!"

The tombstone collapsed weakly, and an old coffin was exposed to the air.

A pale, dull palm pushed open the lid of the coffin, and a figure shrouded in a pitch-black cloak sat up......

Andu walked on the wasteland, glancing at the pocket watch in his hand from time to time.

It's time to hurry...... Andu thought to himself, and his feet sped up again.

Half an hour later, the destination finally appeared in front of me.

Looking at the half-barren and generally gloomy strange cemetery in front of him, Andu's expression twitched unnaturally.

With the nervousness of forcibly restraining himself, Andu took out a clear glass bottle from his bosom and walked towards the half of the cemetery that had been deserted.

Andu seemed to be circling in circles at random, but every once in a while he squatted down, gently scraped the inconspicuous black powder on the ground, and then put it into a glass bottle.

However, after a while, the glass bottle in Andu's hand was half full, and he let out a long breath as he felt that the Ring of Origin on the ring finger of his left hand was no longer hot and hot.

Now the ashes of the evil spirit are also ...... Andu looked at the glass bottle in his hand with satisfaction, carefully put it in his arms, and prepared to get up and leave.

But before he could go far, a group of people came to him.

"What a coincidence. Andu looked at the visitor, feeling a little bored, but his face was full of smiles.

After being stunned for half a second, he put on a vigilant posture and said vigilantly: "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to send off the teacher, but unfortunately I still couldn't catch up. Andu said casually.

Cha De was obviously not very satisfied with this answer, he frowned and looked Andu up and down, and finally said indifferently: "Roy Sacrifice has been gone for more than two hours, you are really attentive to see him off now." ”

Andu ignored Chade's sarcasm and smiled, "Can I go?"

As early as after Roy left Halma, he took a half-day off from the Southern Church and stayed on the line to the western suburbs. When O'Connor and the others returned with scars, he rushed to the cemetery as soon as possible.

For the ashes of the evil souls that remained at the scene after the battle, but I didn't expect that Chade and the others would move so fast, and they happened to bump into them on the way back.

Looking at Andu's smile, and full of indifference, Chade's face was no longer full of coldness, and he said lightly: "We will meet again." ”

The smile on Andu's face widened.

"You don't have to say that every time, Halma isn't big. ”

After saying that, Andu walked straight past Chade and the others, leaving a team of Purifier team members standing in the cold wind.

"Captain, that kid is too arrogant!"

The muscular Barry was full of annoyance, and he foamed at Chad and said, "If it weren't for that kid who is also from the church, I would have to teach him a lesson today!"

In the doctrine of the church, it is clearly stipulated that members of the church are not allowed to fight privately, and violators will be severely punished by expulsion.

Barry's angry scolding also spoke the thoughts of the other team members, and everyone didn't have a good opinion of Andu because of the previous incident with Ron's lawyer.

The day after the incident, Ron explained the reason to the crowd.

With a stomach full of resentment, the crowd arrived at the cemetery, ready to begin purifying the area.

Carmen and York took out the compass, lime, ash, holy water and other props from the backpack they brought.

Everyone has a clear idea and a clear division of labor to carry out the layout, and everything is so familiar.

Matt, who is usually mainly responsible for observation, is busy with the things at hand, and has even begun to think about where to spend time at night.

No, I heard that the church's discipline inspection team has recently investigated strictly......

Why don't you go to the underground casino in the South District?, but the money has been a little tight lately, and the boss doesn't know if he can fund it......

Thinking in his mind, Matt's eyes unconsciously drifted to Chad......

"Huh?"

As his eyes wandered, Matt suddenly noticed a tombstone in the distance, which seemed to have been dug up?

Because it was so far away, Matt could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a pit under the tombstone......

"Head, something seems wrong there. Matt thought for a moment and turned to Chad.

"You go check it out and stay safe. Chade listened cautiously, after all, there was a fierce battle here not long ago, and it was normal for something to be a little strange.

Matt put down the props in his hand, took out a dagger from his waist, and walked cautiously towards the piece, looking at the tombstone that seemed to be in question.

As the distance got closer, Matt finally saw what was under the tombstone.

It was a coffin.

Due to the cloudy backlight, Matt could only see the inside of the coffin in the pitch black, and could not clearly see what was inside.

Matt looked up at the sky, thought for a moment and took out a flint and steel from his arms, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had already begun to set.

Lighting a piece of white wax, Matt set his sights on the coffin again.

"Team, Captain!"

Matt's right hand holding the dagger shook slightly, crackling at the joints, his lips trembling up and down, and his face was pale and he shouted in horror.

What did this kid see? He usually calls the captain the head, why did he change it back today?

Matt's frightened sound made everyone's hearts tighten, and Cha De dropped the props in his hand and quickly rushed to Matt's side.

Then, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle!

Countless black leeches are densely packed, squirming back and forth in the coffin!

A corpse that had completely decayed emitted a foul smell, and those black leeches seemed to be parasitic on this corpse, shuttling back and forth from his eye sockets, mouth and nose!

"Prepare for the purification ceremony!" Cha said in a low voice.

The team members quickly took the props and prepared for the ceremony, as for the area that had been half-prepared before and was about to be purified, it had been tacitly placed in the follow-up by everyone at this time......

......

When Andu got home, it was already half past five.

Pushing open the door of the apartment, it was pitch black inside, Andu shook his head and turned on the lights in the room.

A figure appeared in front of Andu's eyes, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You're finally back. ”

Andu looked at the figure and froze in place.
