Forgetting the matter of the blockade area, Yong Ye stared at the Holy Cross alone in the spacious but empty church. The sense of loneliness was extremely strong, and he could not disperse it no matter what.

In a church that can accommodate a hundred people to worship Mass, there is only one person like him. No one will come here. He will always kneel under the cross and pray for redemption until he decays... I don't know why, this strange thing suddenly appeared in Yongye. idea.

Think about these.

When old Frank first met, he knelt under the cross to atone for his crimes. Old Frank felt guilty for killing a pregnant woman with a child, and he knelt for most of his life.

And what about him? The number of people killed directly or indirectly cannot be counted. The number of people killed directly or indirectly is also in thousands. No matter who, he has killed everyone, whether it is young, strong, old or weak, women and children, even pregnant women and young children. It's not that there has been no killer.

After all... the chains of hatred continue, and if he doesn't want to be killed by someone who intends to avenge his relatives and friends, he can only kill him, and he won't regret his choice, because it's all about living.

But... how many years should he kneel under the cross if he wants to atone like old Frank?

...nonsense question.

He couldn't kneel before the cross, and he wouldn't beg for forgiveness, because then it would be as if he had done something wrong, and he believed that he was not wrong, because he knew that if he confessed, something in his heart that was supporting him would collapse.

Moreover, those who can be forgiven will naturally be forgiven if they do not ask for it, and those who cannot be forgiven will not be forgiven anyway.

Praying for forgiveness more often is just to reduce one's guilt, and this is not a selfish expression. For irreparable damage, then don't try to ask for forgiveness. This is what Yongye has always thought.

He is not used to showing his pain, troubles and sadness to others, because he doesn't want to be comforted by others, and hates being pitied even more. Quietly calm, even if his teeth are broken, he will swallow blood in his stomach.

"...There's nothing wrong with my way of living...Frank is really an ordinary person after all. I'm different from him...Well, it's really after a long absence that you can relax and think about these boring questions, right?"

Shaking his head and looking away from the cross, Yong Ye, who was in a fidgety mood, just drank a lot of alcohol to suppress his inner emotions.

Chapter 6 Defeat the Funeral Society

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the blockade area has returned to calm for a long time.

Yong Ye's banquet was stopped halfway through. After all, he still had serious business to do tomorrow, and... there was a knock on the door outside the church.

In the big night, under normal circumstances, no one would knock on the door. Originally, Yong Ye didn’t intend to pay attention to it. However, the knock on the door had a feeling of never giving up if it didn’t reach its goal. It always sounded at a stable frequency, making him Some were unhappy and walked outside with a bottle of wine.

Pushing open the door of the church, outside the iron fence door outside the church, stood a girl with long cherry-colored hair, and it was this girl who was constantly harassing Yongye by knocking on the iron fence door with small stones.

"Who am I talking about? If you don't sleep at night, what are you doing here with me?"

Sighing lightly, Yong Ye stepped forward and opened the iron door from the inside.

"Father, are you drinking again?"

Without answering Yong Ye's question, the girl with a bag in her hand walked into the courtyard.

"...Occasionally I'll have a drink when I'm in the mood."

"Half a bottle already."

"Yeah, maybe these two are bigger."

"Is it better to quit?"

"impossible."

Faced with Qi Qi's proposal, Yong Ye made an assertion without hesitation, and sat down on the bench where the believers were sitting, looking towards the end of the red carpet road in the middle of the church, in front of the altar that was very close to the cross. girl.

"Ah, girl, although I can't use that altar, it is, after all, the most careful maintenance of old Frank's life. It is like a family heirloom, so don't mess with it casually. If it breaks, I will be angry. "

"No... I just want to return the clothes to you, can I put them here?"

"Whatever you want. But you came to me at night just to return the clothes?"

"no."

"Is that a refuge? Hmm~ After all, there is a big mess in the blockade area."

Yong Ye lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked at the girl standing by the altar again.

"If you came to evacuate, it's not that I can't take you in for the sake of acquaintance. Anyway, there are a lot of empty rooms here, as long as you promise to help with hygiene, after all, I don't like wasting time. Hygiene... Now this church is basically gray except for my room and the places I often use."

Saying that, Yong Ye reached out his hand with regret, and touched the chair next to him with his fingertips, and found that there was indeed a lot of dust.

But there is no way to do this. After all, he can't spend a lot of time every day. On such a meaningless thing, ensuring the environment around him is already very good for him. Large-scale environmental maintenance is not at all. might do.

"I didn't come to take refuge."

"Okay, so who are you?"

"Return the clothes."

"Just return the clothes?"

Staring at Yu Qi's expressionless face for a while, Yong Ye couldn't help shaking his head when he saw her wordless nod of affirmation.

"I also admire you for running so far at night to return your clothes. Forget it, do whatever you want."

"...Here, it's better to leave."

There was no big reaction to Yong Ye's words, Qi lowered his head and looked at the ground, pondered for a while, and revealed something that surprised Yong Ye.

"why?"

"...The blockade area is in chaos, and the funeral agency and the security forces may soon have a head-to-head confrontation. This place is very close to the blockade area, so..."

"Well, is that so?"

Nodding lightly, Yong Ye leaned forward and placed his hand on her head in the sight of Yu Qi's surprised eyes.

"You are such a good boy, but you should be the one who should leave. As a resident of the blockade area, although I know that you may be a cooperator of the funeral agency, it's better to leave the blockade area these two days."

"…no."

"why?"

"because…"

The girl who was misunderstood by Yongye as a resident of the blockade area and a cooperator of the funeral society hesitated but did not say anything, just shook her head and repeated.

"No way."

"...Okay, then pay attention to yourself, find a place to hide, don't join the battle, don't watch the fun if the battle wins, be careful not to get hurt by stray bullets, you know that I can hear the blockade zone in this church There was a lot of explosions, and I couldn't help but worry that the missile would fall into this church."

"I see, but why didn't the priest... leave?"

"There is no reason. Although I am not doing my job, I am a priest no matter what. As a priest, I cannot easily abandon my church." (Church = Church)
