Taking a deep breath, Lu Li left his seat, put on the oil lamp, and turned to face the closed wooden door.
The situation in the passage will reveal the final outcome of "Girl".
Pulling open the wooden door, everything appeared in Lu Li's eyes.
The fragmented walls were connected with difficulty, and through the floating rubble, the maddening dark abyss was exposed to Lu Li's eyes without reservation.
The way back has been completely cut off, and there is no possibility of return.
The bumpy stone steps made it difficult to stand, so Lu Li had to avoid those parts that revealed the abyss, and walked down the stone steps that were still intact, with a calm expression on his face, as if the darkness outside the damaged passage had nothing to do with him.
On the fourth floor, the unchanged carved wooden door appears.
After stepping over the missing steps, Lu Li opened the door and walked into the confession room.
The wooden door behind him closed, and the light and organ dispelled the dead silence and depression in the passage.
[Prey that steps into a trap is like a frog in hot water. When danger comes, it is already unable to escape]
The words of advice on the hollow wooden wall seemed to be describing Lu Li's current situation.
Silent Lu Li sat down on the wooden chair and waited for the fourth believer to appear.
The hazy light and shadow cast into the church is bright and strong, and the time may be close to noon at this time.
A figure appeared outside the church door and walked towards the confession room.
"Lord...please save your lost lamb and tell me what to do to save my brother who is falling into hell..."
The figure began to tell a story about the past.
Jonah Peters and Al Peters were once a pair of admirable good brothers. They loved each other, helped each other, and were known to many people because of their identical looks.
In front of the church confessional is his brother Jonah Peters, who was born a few minutes before Al Peters.
Even if it was only for a few minutes, Jonah Peters still took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother.
Al Peters has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was a child, but this intelligence is different from what others imagine - it is criminal intelligence.
Jonah discovered that his younger brother Al would kill bugs in various ways and giggle when he was very young. When he got a little older, the objects he killed changed from bugs to insects, and then small animals.
Jonah wanted to change his brother's problems, but to no avail. He had to help his brother hide these devilish behaviors and hope that Al would not go further.
But something bad still happened. One night, Al ran home with blood on his hands and an excited look on his face. Jonah found no animal hair on his brother, and the smell of blood was not as strong as that of animals.
Jonah realizes something, and under his questioning Al reveals everything: he killed a lost little girl.
Al is going to hell.
Jonah gave Al a harsh lesson, but to no avail. Al, who had been seduced by the devil, did not repent and used his criminal cleverness again to kill a woman a few days later.
Jonah wanted to go to the police station to report the crime, but his brother's plea made him relent. At the same time, he also heard that a bloody killer called the Gut-Cutr had recently appeared in the city. He would kill people walking at night and cut off their bodies.
Their intestines and strangled the neck of the deceased. The police are tracking the murderer and plan to hang this cruel guy.
Although he knew that Al had committed serious crimes, Jonah did not want his brother to die.
So he agreed to help Al keep the secret in exchange for his brother stopping from now on.
But just last night, when he woke up, he found that his younger brother was not in the room, and he did not come back until early the next morning. And the neighbors were spreading rumors that the police had discovered a gut-cutter and were arresting him.
Jonah knew that Al had once again failed to hold back his natural instincts.
So the pained and helpless Jonah came to the church, hoping that the priest in the confessional could tell him what to do next.
Having experienced the first three levels, Lu Li already had some experience in how to play a clergyman.
[The way to salvation is not in indulgence]
When Jonah Peters was silent while holding the paper, Lu Li handed over the second piece of paper: [The real salvation is to stop him from making mistakes and stop him before he kills more innocent people. Those people died because of him.
, also died because of you]
"I...yes...of course...if I had stopped him earlier..." Jonah Peters lowered his head and murmured. "Please tell me what I should do to atone for my sin..."
Before Jonah Peters spoke, Lu Li had already picked up a quill and wrote down the content.
Olivia, Green, the unidentified girl and the priest. Although it may be slim, Lu Li still wants to try to change their destiny.
After writing about them, Lu Li told Jonah Peters: "Appear in my name. They are either here to help you, or they need your help. Work with them to solve the troubles you encounter and save you."
itself】
Jonah Peters left, taking the note given by Lu Li.
According to Lu Li's understanding of the test, it was difficult for Jonah to save his brother and those people.
But always give it a try.
The story did not end here. A few minutes after Jonah Peters left, a figure slowly walked to the confessional.
Looking at this hazy figure, Lu Li understood and wrote down the content.
[I foresaw your failure: Olivia was thrown to death under the hoof of a horse, the crying girl came to the church at dusk, and you were captured by Viscount Reeves and put into a private cell]
The priest looked at the paper in his hand and remained silent.
If time is continuous and Lu Li can change it at any point, then after Lu Li on the previous level told the priest in the morning, the priest on this level at noon will naturally experience everything that happened in the morning.
Lu Li's backup plan worked.
【Tell me your original plan】
Lu Li wrote.
After a slight pause, the priest slowly told Lu Li with respect what he planned to do: talk to Viscount Reeves, find Olivia, and bear the cost of her child's medical treatment as a church. Find Green and his daughter,
Tell them what is going to happen and ask them to stay home.
As a result, Lu Li had already learned from the nuns on the upper floor that the priest was captured by Viscount Reeves at the beginning, and everything followed the original trajectory.
[Don’t go to Viscount Reeves... take Olivia and her children, Green and his daughter to the church, let them stay, and wait until dark before letting them go back]
[The girl who left the church early in the morning failed to escape from the evil hands. Find her, or them. Bring the girl back and send them to death]
[The person who cut the intestines is the younger brother of the twins named Al Peters, and his older brother is Jonah Peters. Inform the police station]
Lu Li wrote a lot, but fortunately the content in written form did not need to test the priest's memory. He bowed slightly and exited the church with "God's" will to exercise "God's" rights.
