It's now around five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun has begun to slowly set. Especially now that this small alley has become dim due to the surrounding buildings.
Because it was not yet time to get off work, the entire alley was now empty. In this case, the rapid and messy footsteps behind him made Lawrence feel gusts of cold wind blowing on the back of his neck and the back of his hands, and his whole body became nervous.
He made a prompt decision and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his coat, reached into his arms and grasped the handle of the gun, then turned around sharply and looked behind him.
Sure enough, two people ran over from the corner of a house behind him, holding short knives and sticks in their hands, looking like common local gangsters. When they saw Lawrence turn around, the two men
Not only did he not leave, he even accelerated his approach.
"Bowler hat." Lawrence noticed that one of them was wearing a hat that definitely did not fit his identity, and such a weird dress reminded him of what Aunt Susan told her a few days ago: "-Jack asked me
Let me tell you, one of his men noticed two strange young men walking out of the alley where you were attacked yesterday, one of whom was wearing a badly worn bowler hat."
"It seems that these two guys are probably the guys who knocked out my sap." Lawrence watched the two gangsters running closer and closer with weapons, suddenly pulled out two pistols from his arms, and then pointed them at the two people.
The knee pulled the trigger.
"Pah, pah -" After the two gunshots, the two gangsters immediately fell to the ground, dropped their weapons, covered their knees and started wailing.
"It seems that the scene in the movie where you can still charge forward as if nothing happened after being hit by more than a dozen large-caliber bullets must be fake." While thinking about this question, Lawrence slowly walked towards the two men with a pistol raised.
.
"Why did you come to attack me?" Lawrence asked his question after walking beside the two men and pointing a pistol at them. "I don't remember that I have offended you."
"It's true that you didn't offend either of us, but you made a huge mistake." The gangster wearing a bowler hat raised his head and said fiercely. "I taught you a lesson last time and wanted you to give up on your own initiative.
, I didn’t expect you didn’t know how to repent.”
"Yes, your sins are so serious." Another gangster also raised his head and stared at Lawrence, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes, "No one can save you now, and we - it's just the beginning.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of the two people in front of him began to twist and shriveled up visibly to the naked eye. Upon seeing this, Lawrence quickly backed away and pointed his pistol at the two bodies that looked full of ominous aura.
Just a few seconds later, the two bodies were reduced to ashes at the same time, but two pieces slowly bulged under the pile of ashes covered by clothes. After that, the two bulges became bigger and bigger, and it looked like they were hiding underneath.
Like a pair of rabbits.
"Pah, pah." Lawrence pulled the triggers with his left and right hands at the same time to activate the exorcism bullet primers in the two guns. Then the two silver bullets flew out of the barrels and went straight to the two bulges. For those who have watched many movies
For him, he must make a decisive decision at this time and cannot wait for the monster inside to grow up before taking action.
Sure enough, after eating two rounds of exorcism bullets, the two bulges stopped moving, and then with the two bullet holes as the core, the entire pile of ashes burned with blue flames. After the flames extinguished, only the
There were two black human-shaped traces.
"The situation seems to have become more complicated now." As a person who grew up in the Church of Knowledge, Lawrence's first reaction was that these two people were cultists who believed in some evil god or lower-level creatures. But under normal circumstances, cultists often
He will be the first to tell who he believes in, instead of just being a simple threat like now.
Thinking of this, Lawrence immediately took out a glass bottle from his arms, then squatted there and used a knife to scrape off some remaining ash on the black mark, put it into the bottle and corked it. After doing all this, he went straight to the horse.
At the intersection, I caught a public carriage and headed to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral.
The church was naturally open at this time, and when Lawrence rushed to the door of the church, he happened to see Priest Carter sitting behind a table under the steps of the church writing letters to the illiterate workers.
Although starting five years ago, the White Eagle Federation established an education committee and established some public schools for the poor, at the same time, each church has opened its own affiliated schools for hundreds of years to provide low-cost and even high-quality education for the people at the bottom.
Free education.
But for these poor people, there are still very few people who can successfully master reading and writing skills in school. Because most of them need to go out to work early to support themselves. So things like writing letters for others
There is still a huge demand for this kind of work. For example, Lawrence wrote many letters to the workers during the years he rented in a tavern.
Seeing Lawrence, Priest Carter immediately finished writing the letter in his hand and asked his apprentice Peter to take his place. Then he came over and asked, "Lawrence, why did you come here suddenly today?"
"I just encountered a strange attack." Lawrence whispered. After hearing this, Priest Carter immediately took him into the church. Because according to the custom within the Knowledge Church, discussing the supernatural world in public
The word strange is often used when referring to things that are extraordinary.
After the two of them arrived at a side hall, Priest Carter asked seriously. "I just said that you encountered an attack related to extraordinary power. Can you tell me the specific situation?"
"Of course." Lawrence nodded and then described today's encounter. The main description focused on how the two people suddenly began to shrink and turn into gray, and what happened after hitting the two strange things that emerged.
The blue flames burned away everything. Finally, he took out the two pistols he had just shot and the ashes collected from the wreckage and handed them to Priest Carter.
"This should be related to the power of evil. You wait here for a moment while I find a professional." Priest Carter made a few gestures and summoned a group of silver-white light in his hand. As a result, this group of light came into contact with
After reaching the glass bottle containing ashes, the color immediately dimmed.
Seeing this scene, he warned Lawrence and immediately walked into a nearby door with these things. A few minutes later, he walked out with an old man with a serious expression.
"Lawrence, this is High Priest Arthur from the Ministry of Faith and Catechism," Priest Carter introduced. "Now, please tell me the whole thing about what you just encountered."
Next, Lawrence told the high priest what happened in detail. After listening to the description, the high priest named Arthur explained several details and the previous attack.
The incident raised several questions.
Finally, when Lawrence had answered all the questions raised by the high priest, Arthur nodded seriously, then looked at him and said, "This is indeed caused by some evil supernatural power, and you stopped it in time."
The method of breaking is very correct. Based on my decades of experience in fighting these evil forces, if you don't react in time to let the other party take full shape, it will be very troublesome."
Hearing this, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if two people died this time, there would always be various troubles. But now the high priest's words were equivalent to an endorsement for himself, and he would not have to worry about this problem in the future.
