When Gallo smiles, he is always very gentle and gentle. It can be said that it is the most standard smile that makes people unable to find fault.
But seeing this smile in George's eyes, it always gave him a strange feeling that he couldn't explain, and even his spine was slightly chilled...
I must be too tired and have an illusion. This young pastor is obviously such a nice person!
Anyway, I will come over early tomorrow morning to donate the money, and then go to the construction site. I can’t deceive a good person like him!
George didn't think much, so he said goodbye to Gallo and limped towards his home.
But that night, he slept very soundly, sleeping until dawn for the first time in a long time, without being disturbed by nightmares.
So he quickly packed up his belongings, took the money, and rushed towards the Miya Church.
In fact, in a situation like this, he doesn't have to go, because church services such as confession are nominally free, and donations are all voluntary. Anyway, he is not a believer in the Miya sect, so even if he doesn't go, there is no need to go.
What will people say.
But he instinctively felt that if he didn't keep his promise, something bad might happen to him...
And he really didn't want to deceive the kind pastor.
When he arrived at the church, he found that the young priest was training the kittens, forcibly directing them to line up in a line, waving a paddle in his hand, and making the kittens follow his rhythm and make milky sounds.
Can a cat be so obedient?
George looked a little confused, but then he thought about it, there are many magicians in the world who use cats as familiars or familiars, so it is not a big surprise that priests who are as mysterious as magicians master similar skills.
What's more, this young pastor really has something. Before yesterday, he didn't believe that simply running could help him relax and fall asleep peacefully.
After Gallo noticed that a guest had arrived, he ended his morning training and encouraged the kittens:
"You must work hard! There are few people here, but we are counting on you to help..."
"In my hometown, cats are very magical creatures. They can cook, clean, mine and dig grass, fight with terrifying dragons, and carry their seriously injured and dying owners back to the camp on a cart, and even
You can also turn into a cute beautiful girl!”
"So, you also have to believe in yourself. As long as you work hard, you can do it. Wouldn't someone with as little talent as me also learn magic?"
After Gallo said this, he waved his hand to signal the kittens to disperse, and walked towards George.
George quickly handed him ten silver coins and agreed to come back in the evening, but he didn't mention joining the religion and hurriedly left.
Gallo is not in a hurry. He can't run away. Once he gets hooked on the pleasure of exercise, he won't give up so easily. Just like himself, if he doesn't exercise every day, he will feel that something is missing in his life.
The old bishop was more cunning. Every time Gallo asked him to exercise with him, he always used various excuses to shirk it and wouldn't touch it at all.
In the next three days, George came over every night and remembered to bring money; but Gallo no longer applied magic to him, and just asked him to do what he could and not to hurt himself.
After all, exercise is your own business and relies on your own body. If you rely on divine magic, what else is it called exercise?
Although George did not run as smoothly and smartly as he did on the first night, the effect was not bad. The worries in his heart began to gradually lessen, he could sleep peacefully every night, and his energy during the day was much better.
Everything is developing in a good direction. He even plans to tell several of his friends who are also in mid-life crisis and ask them to run with him, and then find a suitable opportunity to join the Miya Church.
It's a pity that George didn't come on the fourth night...
On the morning of the fifth day, Gallo suddenly received the news of his death...
The news was brought by Undine that George died mysteriously in his own home.
"I'm sorry. I've been busy a while ago and didn't have time to come over to see you. As a result, when I came here today, I encountered this kind of thing..."
"We'll talk about it on the road in detail."
Undine said softly, and threw another twenty silver coins into the offering box, half of which was a gift for moving into a new house, and the other half was Gallo's salary for today.
On the way there, she briefly talked about the case.
According to the neighbor's description: George was a little strange yesterday. He came home from the construction site early, locked himself in his room again, and did not go out for a run at night. Even his complexion, which had obviously improved in the past few days, became gloomy and melancholy again.
stand up.
As a result, he died at his desk that night, and he lived alone. It wasn't until the servant he hired came to clean the house this morning that he discovered that he seemed to be writing a letter to someone, but the letter had turned into ashes and was scattered everywhere.
They were all burned by him again.
"Have his family been notified?"
Gallo asked.
"His wife has a pretty boy outside, the child is not his, his parents have passed away long ago, and he has not contacted other relatives for many years. We don't know who we can notify at the moment..."
"He is a poor man..."
Undine couldn't help but sigh, and then said:
"I heard from his neighbors that he has been coming to your church frequently recently and has received a lot of relief and guidance? You seem to want to develop him into a believer?"
Gallo nodded and said truthfully:
"He wanted to invite a few more friends to join him, but this happened..."
"He may have had various minor problems and used some business methods to compete, but he still shouldn't die like this..."
Just as the two of them were chatting about something, they soon arrived at George's residence. His body was still in its original position, lying on the desk, with an empty wine bottle next to it.
He was only wearing a pair of pajamas, with no visible injuries or bleeding. Even before his death, his expression was very calm. There was no sign of sudden death from illness. His death was very strange, so this case was handed over to Undine for investigation.
As soon as Gallo stepped into the bedroom, he immediately felt something. He quickly walked behind the corpse, reached out and tore off his pajamas, revealing his back where black spots had begun to appear.
Gallo then released the magic of insight, making his eyes light up like flashlights, and projected two spots of light on the back of the corpse.
As he glanced around, a dark green pattern suddenly appeared on the back of the corpse.
It was a dagger piercing the heart, located exactly at the heart.
Gallo didn't even need to speak, even Undine next to him recognized this infamous pattern:
