The priest Nicholas Inam, who had a soft face and a mellow and magnetic voice, got up from the bed and prayed silently in the darkness.
The object of his prayer is the Holy Spirit, and there is no doubt that this imaginary god will not respond.
"I swear that I will be willing to be poor... I swear that I will be kind to others... I swear that I will abide by the way of light!"
Nicholas murmured, his face suddenly becoming resolute: "I swear... I will fight against darkness and corruption... I will... turn into light!"
As a Nicholas who was adopted from a church orphanage, grew up in a church school, and successfully entered the Holy See to become a priest, his piety is undisputed.
But at the same time, looking at the declining church, Nicholas's heart was filled with pain.
It was precisely because of this pain that after he came into contact with the hidden world and learned a little about various paths and sexual aspects, he chose ‘Yao’ without hesitation! He chose the light!
At this time, Nicholas thought of the information about the 'stabbing sword' that day, and took out a golden talisman from his arms.
He recalled the face of his mentor in his organization and his gentle voice:
"We, the Sunset School, accept you, cover for you, and teach you secret techniques so that you can avoid the investigation of the Investigation Bureau. We are not here to let you die..."
"Facing a suspected inhuman existence, once you are suspected by him, you will be 100% dead!"
"Give up... The other party has completed his plan, successfully hid behind the scenes, and avoided the investigation of the investigation bureau. He will go silent..."
…
"The church... has become a little filthy again... It is precisely because of the existence of people like the mastermind behind the scenes that the Creation Church has become more and more depraved... I will clean up all this!"
Nicholas looked at the high-level talisman in his hand that he had spent a lot of money to obtain, held it carefully in his palm, and walked out of his room.
"If Chris is not the real culprit, the person who framed him must be inside the cathedral!"
"I will find his flaws and report them to the investigation bureau!"
"Even if he exists as an inhuman being, once the Investigation Bureau gathers its manpower and lays out a plan, he will definitely be punished by law!"
Nicholas walks in the dark.
The originally familiar church gradually became hideous and mysterious under the moonlight...
As an insider, he had ruled out many places during the day, and now only a few suspicious places were left.
"Chris's residence, the Archbishop's residence, the vault, and...the underground storage room!"
Nicholas bypassed Chris's original residence, which had been searched many times by agents from the Bureau of Investigation. Although it was still a bit suspicious, there shouldn't be much left behind.
As for the archbishop's living room?
He subconsciously didn't want to doubt it, and was going to check the vault and underground storage room first.
"Although the vault is hidden and safe, everyone inside the church is keeping an eye on it. It is too easy to be discovered if it is manipulated... Therefore, the most likely place for problems is the underground storage room!"
Nicholas walked through the garden and heard the chirping of various insects under the plants.
They are so thriving and full of life.
"It's already September, which is a bit unbelievable..."
Nicholas didn't feel much and came to the basement entrance.
This place belonged to Priest Thomas, and he was the only one with the key. However, Nicholas took out a piece of wire from his arms and pushed it into the keyhole. After a while, the wooden door opened with a bang.
He carried a lantern and walked in.
The orange lights reflected his shadow, which fell on the wall like a monster with teeth and claws.
There was silence in the corridor, except for the sound of Nicholas's own footsteps echoing softly.
Closer, closer...
The small door, representing the unknown and the truth, officially appeared in front of Nicholas.
"Who is it?"
Nicholas was about to step forward when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the darkness.
He turned the lantern and saw Father Thomas in the shadowed corner.
"Thomas, I...I just came to see..."
Nicholas told lies that he didn't even believe, but in a hurry, that was all he could do.
"Guard...defense..."
Thomas was a tall and thin young man. He kept mumbling at this time, with a stiff and rigid expression.
Nicholas shined the lantern on the other person's face and suddenly froze.
In his eyes, Thomas's eyes were completely gray, and there was a small black insect lying on the pupils that had completely lost their color and luster.
At this time, the little insect flew up.
Buzz!
There was a dense sound of flapping wings, resounding from all around.
"The mother insect... orders... to guard..."
Thomas, who seemed to have turned into a living dead, looked at Nicholas with his lifeless eyes, unblinking, and suddenly his mouth widened.
One after another, dense clouds of insects were spat out from his mouth, like black clouds, rushing toward Nicholas.
"Light!"
As the 'illuminator', Nicholas uttered a word in the language of the spirit world, and his spirituality stirred, creating a white light in mid-air, with a flame-like temperature at the edge, and fell on the black insect cloud.
Bah!
A small number of insects were directly melted by the white flames, but more insects swept towards Nicholas as if they were angered.
"Thomas..."
Nicholas closed his eyes, his expression suddenly became extremely determined, he held his hands in front of his chest, quickly threw out the golden charm, and praised loudly:
"Praise to the Dawn!"
raging!
Pure white flames that were ten times and a hundred times more powerful than before suddenly emerged from the golden spell and exploded in the passage!
In an instant, a small sun seemed to be born in the passage!
Under the illumination of this illusory pure white sun, the black insect clouds were quickly purified, not even ashes were left.
"ah!"
Thomas screamed, and his dull eyes were directly blinded by the light. They exploded like two blisters, bleeding out black and red blood.
Immediately afterwards, his entire body melted under the light.
After everything dissipated, Nicholas pressed his temples, enduring the terrible state of almost drying up his spirituality, and looked ahead.
Thomas has disappeared, leaving only a little bit of ashes in the place.
The power contained in this spell may cause Nicholas to be blinded even if his eyes are open!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Nicholas looked at this scene, but he seemed to be crazy. He laughed so hard that he bent over and burst into tears.
"There is so much movement, is it still a secret exploration?"
"Anyway, the mastermind behind the scenes should have appeared, right?"
"No matter what the result is, the arrangements I left before will take effect, and a special letter will be sent to the Investigation Bureau..."
"No matter what the other party's conspiracy is, it is no longer possible to succeed!"
With the brilliance of a martyr, Nicholas ignored the movement outside, staggered towards the door of the underground storage room, and opened it with a bang.
The horse lights shine brightly, and what appears in front of Nicholas is a cocoon...
A huge cocoon with countless mysterious symbols wandering on the surface, a light source inside, and the wriggling presence of some powerful and evil dark thing!
