Alex knows very well that Anthony's death is a landmark case.
It means that the established events in the past began to change, and the situation gradually heated up. No one knows what terrible things will happen next.
This terrible unknown, like an unbreakable dark cloud, floated over Gusteau. The gloomy and depressing atmosphere even made Alex suffocate for a moment.
"Will this be a single event?" When Alex returned to cruya church, he whispered to angel, who was hidden.
"Don't you already have an answer in your heart?" Angel said.
The day after Anthony's death, the gloom still hung over Gusteau.
After Alex got up, he found that father brunlang had stayed in church all night, pale and sad, kneeling down in front of the statue of the father and praying silently.
Seeing Alex's arrival, father brunlang slowly turned his head: "where are you going?"
"I went to the river to recite the Scriptures."
Father brunlang was silent for a moment and nodded: "go, but Gusteau is not safe now. Don't go to too remote places. Be careful."
Alex nodded in agreement, and then left the church under the gaze of father brunlang.
Alex didn't see it. After he left, father brunlang's eyes became dark and deep. Finally, with helplessness, he sighed deeply.
"You have hinted before that father brunlang's heart is not on the right track. However, I just saw that his pious prayer for Anthony doesn't seem to be false." Angel asked curiously. When Alex was sleeping last night, he went around the town. When he left, Blanc prayed devoutly in the church. When he came back in the morning, he was still praying silently. That kind of piety, in angel's view, is very real.
Alex: "as a clergyman, father brunlang is qualified. Moreover, he is in great awe of death."
As for other aspects, Alex was reluctant to say more. After all, father brunlang saved him and adopted him.
Angel didn't go on talking about father brunlang.
Two hours later, Alex came to Mrs. Connie's Woodman cabin.
Mrs. Connie didn't leave. She still lay in bed, but her face was pale, her eyes were in a trance, and there were obvious tears on her cheeks. It seemed that she had been crying all night.
Alex brought food and medicine, and recited a scripture with Mrs. Connie.
Although Alex didn't believe in the content of the Scripture, it was very suitable for brainwashing, or to give hope to people in low and desperate situations.
Mrs. Connie's expression finally eased after reading the Scripture.
"Alex, when can I get back to town?" Mrs. Connie still couldn't help asking.
Alex's face was hesitant. He had enough of Mrs. Connie's curiosity before he slowly said, "I had some doubts about what my wife said yesterday. However, when I went back last night, I knew something big had happened."
Alex told Mrs. Connie about Anthony's death and Martin's disappearance.
Although Alex didn't say who did the case, he kept guiding Mrs. Connie to associate her experience.
After hearing this, Mrs. Connie was trembling with fear, even if Alex did not give a complete chain of evidence that Anthony's death was related to the two souls who chased Mrs. Connie. But Mrs. Connie's brain mended herself, but the more brain mended, the more frightened she became.
"Gusteau is now in an undercurrent. Mrs. Connie's best not to go back. Don't worry. In the name of the father, I promise you that once the undercurrent fades, I will take Mrs. Connie back to town immediately."
A clergy, in the name of the father, naturally believed Connie.
But Mrs. Connie doesn't know. Although Alex is a priest, it's just a shiny shell. He is definitely an unbeliever in his heart. He says things in the name of the father, which is no different from farting.
At noon, Alex returned to Gusteau with a grim face.
When he stepped into the Church of creya, he was surprised to find that the church, which was not full in the past, was full at this time, and everyone prayed silently to the statue of the father.
Obviously, the successive events, including Knight raven, affected the people in the town.
Before we can catch the murderer, everyone can only hope in the gods, even if the gods have never shown his miracles.
Alex joined the prayer crowd unhindered. He stood in front of the window, closed his eyes and recited the Scriptures. The sunlight shining through the window is as holy as the son of God.
This week made all participants feel as if they had been redeemed.
But this redemption lasted less than half an hour and broke again.
The door of the church was suddenly pushed open. The dark church was instantly covered by strong light. People rubbed their eyes hurt by the sun and looked back. A small dark shadow jumped into their eyes.
When their eyes gradually adapted to the light, they noticed that it was a little boy wearing an ochre newspaper hat. His face was pale and panicked, and rushed to a fat middle-aged man in the church.
The little boy said a few words to the middle-aged man. The man turned his eyes and fainted to the ground.
There was a panic and noise in the church.
Alex stepped back to the shadow. Angel, floating in the shadow, whispered, "the child said that the man's wife and daughter are all dead."
Alex nodded. Although he didn't hear the specific information, he could lip talk. What angel said was the message that the child wanted to convey, and because of this message, the man was stunned into a coma.
Alex: could they do it
"I think so."
Soon, the sheriff's news came that the dead were not only the wife and daughter of the middle-aged man, but also a neighbor next door, a total of three people. All that was left was the head, which was placed on the dinner plate. It was very seeping just to listen.
Moreover, there were a lot of blood splashes on the scene. It was basically determined that the first scene was at home.
After the news was confirmed, the people in the church had a sense of redemption from chanting the Scripture, and now they all disappeared. All the people were pale and trembling. With such rampant continuous killing, no one knew whether they would become the next dead of the serial murderer.
Everyone is nervous, and even those living alone dare not go home at this time. Even if the sun is thick outside, I still feel chilly.
The sheriff later had to send a team of knights to pick them up from the church.
Alex also went out with the knight. He planned to go to the scene of death.
When angel left, he looked back at the empty church. He noticed that the face of father brunlang standing in the front was extremely ugly
That night, Alex came to the top of the church and stood on the watchtower.
This is not only the highest place of the Church of crua, but also the highest place of the whole town of Gusteau.
Facing the cool wind at night, Alex looked at the low buildings around him. Because there was no night light, most areas were dark, which was the best cradle for breeding evil and killing.
Because successive murders have shown that the pursuer may still be somewhere in Gusteau. Alex wanted to come here to see if he could catch them.
Alex: will they do it again
Angel: "the facts have shown that as long as Mrs. Connie is not found, the opened magic box will not be closed."
Even, it will be more and more intense.
While they were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them. Alex looked back and saw father brunlang coming up step by step.
"Alex, were you talking to someone just now?" Blanc wondered.
Alex shook his head. "No, just talking to himself."
Bolun Lang looked suspiciously at Alex and looked around. The watchtower was very small and could not hide people at all, so Bolun Lang didn't ask about it again, but said, "what are you doing here in the evening?"
Alex: "there have been so many cases in a row. My heart has been terrified. I can't sleep. I came out to blow the wind."
Father brunlang whispered, "the father will bless the devout believers through this difficulty."
After a pause, Bertrand said again, "Gusteau is not safe now. You'd better go back and have a rest first, and..."
Alex wondered, "and what?"
Blanc sighed and shook his head. "It's nothing. Go back and rest first. At least the Church of creya will be safe with the blessing of the father."
Alex was about to say something when suddenly there was a scream in the dark.
Alex suddenly looked back and found that the scream came from the south of Gusteau.
Alex wanted to leave the watchtower and go and have a look. But Blanc caught him and shook his head gently. "Go back and have a rest. I'll deal with the things here."
Alex was silent for a moment and nodded.
