Bright horseshoes resounded in front of the gate of Storm Bank. It was another cheerful day. Renekton was always so disciplined and the city's machines were running as smoothly as before.
Xiqin was wearing a brown coat. As soon as he stepped out of the bank gate, the carriage with the family crest on it rushed over to greet him.
"Mr. Siqin, should we go to Minglang Cathedral?"
The coachman straightened his back and politely asked Siqin, who had just entered the carriage and was still sitting still.
Siqin nodded slightly, and the horse neighed loudly, dragging the heavy black carriage on the municipal road paved with hard stones.
Bright Cathedral, located not far from Stormbank, is the largest church in the urban area of Laketon and is also the confessional place recommended to Sitchin by Mr. Galway.
The towering spire on the outside, with stained glass windows, its pointed ribbed vault structure and characteristic flying buttresses indicate that the church is a typical Gothic style building.
Siqin took his cane, got off the carriage and entered the church.
He walked across the long carpet in the center of the benches. The surrounding columns supported the towering circular dome of the church. The skylight filtered into the room through the huge square window directly opposite, revealing the smooth texture of the wooden benches.
The morning mass has passed, and there are still many believers in the Bright Light Realm who have not dispersed for a long time.
They gathered under the holy statue and prayed constantly. The statue cast a beautiful woman. She was wearing a light dress with off-shoulders. She did not look earthly, but highlighted her holiness; she wore an inlaid robe on her head.
Baoyu wears a headdress, her eyes are soft, and she spreads her hands as if to embrace the suffering people.
This is the legendary "Immortal" who created the dazzling realm - Deirdre.
At the same time, believers also firmly believe that she is the personification of brilliance.
Siqin walked to the icon, covered his hands and silently recited the prayers in the "Holy Scripture". After finishing, he walked to the side and entered the confessional inside to contact the priest.
"I'm coming..."
Siqin put down his cane, knelt in front of the confessional, and spoke to the "priest" inside.
In the past, when he came to confess, the priests in the cathedral would respond to him quickly, but today it was strange, the priest inside did not speak for a long time.
Xiqin felt strange. He asked again and got a response from the other party.
"Um...Sorry, I just arrived..."
The priest's voice seemed a little different from the past. Siqin frowned. He was about to ask, but unexpectedly the other party answered first.
"Father Mox is sick and asked me to lead the class. I am Father Detedicte..."
Unexpectedly, the old priest was not here, and Siqin felt a little uncomfortable. He began to hesitate whether to continue talking.
"I know who you are and the crimes you have committed. Sir, both I and Father Mox are devout servants of Huiguang. Your prayers can also be conveyed to Huiguang through us..." With encouragement from "Father", Siqin lowered his head and sighed silently. He gradually adjusted his posture and spoke slowly.
"I'm confused and don't know what to do..."
"Really? Can you explain it in detail?" The priest coughed lightly and followed the instructions.
Xiqin took a deep breath.
"I'm still trying to use that power to seduce...to seduce my brother's wife, no...no, in my heart, she has always been my lover."
The "priest" inside the baffle let out a slight um~~!, which was meaningful.
"Are you driven by desire? Sir."
"I think so." Siqin didn't have any temper when facing the priest, "I can't give up on her, and I know that she is in pain now and I want to help her."
"Desire is the devil, sir, and you can't be sure that what you do is right." The priest's voice was deep, not like it came naturally, "In your heart, you actually replace the desire to control with thinking for the other person.
This is a manifestation of self-deception. Expectation is often a kind of subtle violence, because it requires others to obey our will, do you understand?"
Xiqin raised his head, and his emotions gradually began to brew.
"But I love her...more than my brother."
"Love is relative, sir. Please don't get excited. Everything is under the watch of the Lord. Can you tell us what you did to her?" The priest seemed to notice that Siqin was a little angry, so he immediately changed the subject. p>
Siqin sighed and continued: "It is an...evil power. You know, I always have trouble sleeping and eating about abusing it."
"What kind of power?" the priest asked.
"The art of invisibility..." Xiqin swallowed his saliva and finally answered, "The secret transmission of the sexless phase, the secret transmission of the 'lover' path one: the pursuer..."
"The suitor?"
"Yes, that is a kind of power that can make women like me. To put it simply, if I continue to show favor to a person of the opposite sex, it will be easy to win the other person's favor..."
"That's it..."
The "priest" behind the barrier let out a sigh of enlightenment.
"I see, you used this evil power to make a woman who doesn't love you at all accept you."
"Yes..."
"Are you still using it now?"
"Sometimes..."
"Besides these...have you done anything else to her?"
"I..."
Xiqin suddenly shut up and didn't want to say anything more. The "priest" behind the screen was actually a little anxious.
"I want to do everything a lover can do to her. I want her to be my wife, not my brother's. Is this a sin? Father?"
Siqin asked in turn, but silenced the "priest" behind the barrier.
After a long time, the "Father" said: "If wishes are not restricted, they become ambitions and delusions. It will turn you into a devil and do many terrible things. This is why you seek the Lord's forgiveness." When Xiqin heard this, he immediately frowned.
He suddenly stood up and thanked the priest: "That's it for today, Father Detedicte, thank you for listening, but with all due respect, I believe Father Meaux can understand me better..."
After saying that, he picked up his cane and left the confessional without looking back.
A minute later, the "priest" inside the barrier let out a long yawn, opened the door and walked out.
This guy is not Father Detedicte at all, but de Gaulle who has changed into a priest's uniform.
Holding a key in his hand, he strolled to the office upstairs in the church, opened the door directly, and placed it on the table.
In the room, the original Father Meaux was snoring happily, and next to him was a bottle of vodka that had been consumed.
"Hey... Prohibition is really torturous... I just delivered this bottle last night, and you got drunk in one gulp and asked me to take action myself."
De Gaulle lit his pipe and smoked deeply in the office.
There was one thing he didn't tell others, that is, he knew Father Mox from the Bright Cathedral.
Last night, he brought vodka to visit the priest, trying to get some information about Siqin from him. Who knew that the priest under the prohibition had been holding back for a long time, drank too much in one fell swoop, and didn't wake up in the morning. p>
De Gaulle thought that the next day would be the day when Siqin would come, so he changed into the priest's regular clothes and helped him attend mass in the morning. After finishing the work, he quickly hid behind the confessional and waited for Siqin to come.
Fortunately, things went smoothly. Siqin has admitted that he is a seer and has used invisible techniques to affect Shasa. Based on the previous clues, he can basically identify the other party...
After changing his clothes, de Gaulle bowed slightly to the priest.
"Wish you a good dream..."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but the priest turned over and murmured something very strange.
"Xia Keluo...she is waiting for you..."
De Gaulle stopped suddenly, frowned and turned to look at the bald priest on the sofa.
"The wheat in my hometown... is ripe, Misty... she said... the house is going to collapse... everyone in the family is dead... why don't you stay with her... why... why it's not you who goes to hell!
”
A horrifying scene occurred. The priest stood up straight and rushed towards de Gaulle with bleeding eyes!
