Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 102 The Madman and the Devil

Early in the morning, the sun is just right.

The cold of winter is gradually fading, and Andu clearly feels that spring is quietly approaching.

After washing up and breakfast, Andu arrived at the church in a carriage and gave a brief report to the captain as usual, while also mentioning the problem of the Sinchel community.

"You mean, the murderer's mother is a devil?" O'Connor was shocked.

"That's right, fortunately, I've been wiped out, but considering the danger implied, I went to the Southside Church last night to explain the matter, and I should have sent someone over today. ”

Andu patiently explained, while carefully responding to relevant questions.

"You really killed a first-order devil by yourself!?" O'Connor frowned, he didn't really understand this kind of thing.

In his capacity as the Purifier Pair, there were few people in the entire Halma Bishop Church who knew more about this creature than he did.

"The devil is the most cunning of all evil creatures, even more ghostly than the degenerate of mankind, and their best skills are always demagoguery and deception, how do you destroy it?"

O'Connor asked reluctantly.

In the past, when there was a devil, he had to bring a whole team to suppress it to be absolutely sure, but Andu actually eliminated it alone, and he couldn't accept it.

But in the next second, Andu reached out his right hand and revealed the Ring of Bincia, and his puzzlement turned into shock again.

A blinding golden light lit up in the sanctuary, and the few members of the Purifier and the Inquisitor all showed expressions of equal surprise or disbelief.

"This, this light!" O'Connor said, stunned.

"Yes, it was with this card that I was able to destroy the devil with a single blow. Andu smiled breathlessly.

Of course, I can't tell you that I sacrificed two cards, plus a very high-quality "Crazy Potion", and finally used Cinderella-level "Holy Punishment" plus the Holy Light Technique granted by the Ring of True Name, to kill a second-order demon in a desperate way, right?

Andu thought silently in his heart.

He had 10,000 reasons to believe that if he had told the truth, there would have been a report tomorrow that he had been killed......

After O'Connor's shocked expression gradually returned to normal, he still had some hard faith in his heart, but he couldn't ask Andu too much, so he had to sigh,

"It's okay if you're okay, since the Southern District has sent someone, this matter shouldn't be in a hurry, I'll go and report to the bishop later." ”

Andu nodded, and was about to leave when his movements stopped halfway.

O'Connor wondered, "What's wrong?"

Andu smiled a little awkwardly.

"I want to ask, can I buy a priest's robe?"

......

Outside the warehouse, a middle-aged lady compared Andu's figure and picked out two pieces and handed them to him.

"Every regular staff member of the church can apply for two additional sets of pastoral robes, don't you know?"

Ms. Gaya, who was in charge of logistics, looked at Andu with a strange expression and exclaimed.

"Well, no one really told me about this......"

Andu said this, and suddenly thought of Walkley in his heart, this kid didn't even tell himself about it!

"You don't know how long you've been a church worker?" said Gaya curiously, though she had heard the name Andu before, but this was the first time she had actually seen it.

"It's been almost a month. Andu thought for a moment.

Three weeks to be exact, Andu calculated in his heart.

Ms. Gaya's face became a little strange, and she looked Andu up and down for a long time before she said,

"Do you usually wear a priest's robe?"

Andu's head couldn't help but have a large number of black lines, and he couldn't speak.

"I have a change of clothes ......"

......

After Andu left the church with two bags, he saw his carriage parked on the side of the road.

He first handed the new priest's robe to Robert, who was driving the carriage, before he spoke, "First to the Inquisition, and then to the Orim Magic Cabernic." ”

Robert was stunned and said coldly, "You sacrifice cards again?"

Andu nodded and said, "I met a devil yesterday. ”

Robert was so shocked that he trembled all over, looked at Andu in pain and said, "How can you encounter these things every day?"

Andu said helplessly: "After you join the church, you will meet every day." ”

Robert touched his arm and shook his head violently.

Andu watched his movements, and then looked at his arm.

It had been cursed by Dominic.

"How's your injury?" Andu said after a moment's thought, he wouldn't mind giving the thief a baptism of light if he needed it.

"It's much better, I've been going to church every day to pray lately!" Robert said earnestly, his arm having begun to heal after more than a week of purification.

"Then you don't think about it, you have such strength, as long as you are willing to convert to our lord, it should be no problem to be a purifier. ”

Andu continued to flicker.

"Forget it, I won't convert to the goddess. Robert said firmly.

Andu's expression was stunned, and then he said, "Why do many people say that my lord is a woman?"

Robelch said, "I say this about the God of priests, you are not angry. ”

Andu's expression froze for two seconds, and then he said angrily, "You damn heretic!"

Robert laughed as the speed of the carriage increased again.

Ten minutes later, outside the confinement room, Andu saw the guard from yesterday again.

After a brief conversation, Andu stepped into this dark, eerie prison again.

Expertly approaching the innermost room, Andu pushed open the door for the second time, and Howard lay on the wet bed as usual, without any reaction.

Andu first adjusted to the darkness for two minutes, and then walked towards him.

A light suddenly lit up, and for Howard, who had already seen this scene yesterday, this light also explained the identity of the person who came.

"What do you want to do!?" Howard's voice trembled slightly.

He has been spending several days in a dark room, and his extra sensitivity to the capture of sound, coupled with the light on Andu's hand, shows that the other party is walking towards him!

Fear, panic, doubt, and other emotions spread wantonly in Howard's heart.

He wanted to dodge, but the stone bed, which was only a meter wide, did not have such a wide place for him to dodge.

Andu stood only half a meter in front of Howard, the light in his hand gradually dissipating.

He leaned down and moved closer to Howard, and in the darkness, Andu could almost hear the other man's breathing.

It was a rapid, restless breathing sound, and the murderous Howard would be so panicked when facing himself, which he didn't expect at first.

"Your mother, Marat. ”

Andu's voice seemed to come from hell, with infinite magical power, and it struck Howard in the deadly part in one fell swoop.

"It's a devil, you know?"

Andu's speech was slow, every word was so clear.

So much so that when he finished speaking, Howard didn't react immediately, but waited for him to continue speaking.

"You know, right? It's a demon who is good at arousing evil thoughts and killing intent in people's hearts. ”

"That's why you're so eager to kill, so you actually know, and you want to be a real devil, right?"

Andu's voice was flat, without a trace of emotion, like a written word on a story, just simply read out.

Howard's body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were so bright in the darkness that Andu could even clearly see the flickering light in them.

Andu slowly stretched out his left hand.

Obviously he didn't make any sound, but Howard, who couldn't see his movements clearly, seemed to have predicted his movements!

He shook violently, his chest rising and falling like a bellows, and he tore in a hoarse, exhausted voice,

"She's not the devil! she, she's ...... She's just a pathetic person!She adopted me!!"

Andu added: "So, you are not its biological one, otherwise you would have been burned at the stake by now." ”

Howard's clear eyes gradually stained with a vivid red.

"What do you know? I'm just exercising my lord's command, this world is so dangerous, no, this world must be destroyed! hahahaha, it's going to be destroyed......"

Howard laughed like maniac, and Andu's left hand finally rested on his shoulder.

Howard, in his madness, only shuddered at first, but that didn't affect his subsequent actions.

His shriveled and ugly hands tore at the quilt fiercely, and the wet quilt could not resist the ravages of his madness, and in a short time it was torn into a large amount of cotton wool and strips of cloth.

For a moment, he was the only one left in the room to revel.

Andu stood up straight, and there was no imaginary warning on his left hand, which he had not thought of at all.

Looking at Howard, who was like a madman, a thought suddenly rose in his heart.

Could it be that the demon that has just arrived, and is not the devil bred by Sinchel?

The doubts in his heart could not be answered, and Andu slowly left the room with steps, and the sound of "tearing" and wild laughter from behind him gradually drifted away.

......

"Didn't you find anything?" said Walkley with a serious face.

"No, could you be mistaken?"

The young missionary complained.

"Reilly, you should be a little more careful. Walkley said seriously.

Reilly, who had been preaching for a good day, but was forcibly pulled here by Walkley, said with a displeased face.

"If it weren't for the fact that you said you invited me to eat steak, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you!"

Reilly said that he was not happy, but his body continued to look around honestly, looking for the black liquid that Walkley had spoken.

"Don't worry, it's indispensable!"

"I told you, you have to go to the North District, and the South District doesn't count, this time if you ......"

Reilly, who had no energy and was only concerned about arguing with Walkerley, suddenly stopped complaining and looked directly at the ground not far away.

"I seem to have found ......"

"Where, where!?"

Walkley hurriedly leaned over and followed Reilly's gaze to the ground not far away.

The pitch-black liquid there had long since solidified, and at the edge of the liquid, a large number of dead and frightened rats and cockroaches were all over the ground, and even the carcasses of wild dogs were four or five.

In the sunlight, a large number of flies and insects wander in the garbage heaps in the distance, as well as in the stinking ponds.

The flies, who usually like to circle around the corpses, seem to have forgotten their instincts at this time, and are reluctant to get close to these corpses for half a step.
