Chapter 306: His story

"Shermance is dead."

The plague doctor walked quickly into the room, bringing the latest news, but the man sitting by the window seemed not to have heard it at all. He lowered his head, facing the heavy rain outside the window. Countless candles were burning quietly beside the chair, and the flowing wax outlined complicated symbols on the floor.

Lawrence has been like this lately. After getting a young body, Lawrence has become increasingly difficult to understand. Sometimes even the plague doctor himself doesn't know what Lawrence is thinking. He is like a cold and cunning poisonous snake, hiding in the darkness and spying on everyone, ready to kill with his poisonous fangs.

The plague doctor approached cautiously. There was still ink mixed with the secret blood on the table, and a written letter was placed aside, just waiting to be mailed.

Lawrence seemed to have fallen asleep, but the plague doctor knew very well that he was traveling through the [gap], and no one knew where Lawrence's consciousness was at the moment.

"Power Gabriel..."

Even the plague doctor could not help but feel envy and fear when faced with this mysterious power, just like facing warm fireworks, which can drive away the cold for you, but can also burn you to death.

This power has transcended matter and involves the "spiritual" level that all alchemists are specializing in. With such power, a person's will can travel through different bodies like a ghost, or even occupy them and gain "rebirth."

Just like that, it took over another person's life silently.

How could such a forbidden and vicious power not inspire fear? Even the plague doctor kept recalling that ominous scene in his mind afterwards. Something crawled out of the dying body. It was sticky and smelly, with no fixed shape, like a ball of invisible mud, slowly wriggling with its own life, and it squeezed into another empty shell bit by bit.

Since then, the Plague Doctor has always been wary of Lawrence. In addition to this, it was also the first time that the Plague Doctor had a deeper understanding of the distortion of this world.

How old is the evangelical church? So old that it seems as if it has existed since books began to be kept.

From that moment on, "Revelation" appeared in the cognition of the Evangelical Church, and during this thousand years, the Evangelical Church created the Demon Hunting Cult through the knowledge of "Revelation".

The plague doctor recalled what Lawrence had said, that Power Gabriel had long been discovered by the Gospel Church, but was sealed up for some unknown reason. Later, Lawrence rediscovered it because of his aging body.

That was a terrible secret, a possibility that terrified the plague doctor just by thinking about it.

So, at some forgotten time in the past, the Gospel Church mastered the power of Gabriel. Does that mean that Lawrence was not the only one who could take over other people's lives in this ghostly way? There were also similar ghostly beings that appeared in past history. So are they all dead

Theoretically, such power can constantly change bodies to achieve immortality, although Lawrence said this was the first time he did this. So, can those former ghosts achieve another kind of immortality by constantly changing their identities in this way and living in the shadow of the world
