"Sir, are you religious?"
"Sir, are you interested in learning more?"
"This is our teaching. Do you have time to listen to it?"
"Sir, wait a minute!"
There was a chirping sound in my ears, and it felt like hundreds of Poirots were grinding their teeth in my ears.
Hercule finally couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to be angry, but when he saw the girl's gentle face, he couldn't muster up the anger.
The girl looked like she was working, but she also seemed to be a real believer. She followed him all the way and talked about those strange beliefs.
After much entanglement, Hercule reluctantly submitted.
"Okay, I'll just take a look."
Hercule said as he took the flyer from the girl, he was not a jerk like Lorenzo, even though the girl was a bit annoying, he was not angry with her.
"Oh, that's great. My name is Liya, and I'm an Orthodox believer. This is our introduction. There will be a rally later. Do you want to join in?"
Liya introduced herself, and she seemed to have endless energy.
Hercule glanced at her; the girl looked about Eve's age.
"Orthodoxy..."
Hercule whispered the word, his eyes slightly solemn.
He had just been wandering around the Yega Theater, and under the guidance of the staff, he barely understood the history of the theater. It was quite boring.
Afterwards, Hercule entrusted Poirot to the staff and asked him to pass him on to Lorenzo. Then Hercule left the theater and wandered around the streets. In this foreign country, he had no subordinates and had to rely on himself to collect intelligence.
Everything went smoothly at first. Hercule collected everything from the conversations of people on the street, flying newspapers, to the sounds on the radio, and built a living world in his mind.
Hercule is the master of this world, and he travels through it, searching for the evil that lies beneath the surface, deeper within.
Orthodoxy, the Pope, the Confederation of the Rhine, choirs...
He vaguely saw those hideous shadows, and just when Hercule was about to reach out and touch them, Leah appeared.
Perhaps it was his leisurely and carefree appearance that attracted her, and the girl finally found her target and killed him.
"So, you guys have a meeting later?"
Hercule asked lazily. He looked at Leah who was excited. He could tell from her eyes that she was really preaching seriously, but what she had just said was ignored by Hercule.
"Yes, you wanna come?"
The girl's eyes lit up when she heard Hercule's question.
To be honest, this look made Hercule very uncomfortable. Sometimes he really couldn't tell the difference between these believers and pyramid scheme gangs.
"Let's go."
Hercule replied.
He really wanted to understand what this so-called Orthodox Church was all about. After all, their Pope would be killed by Lorenzo in a few days. At least before taking action, Hercule needed to have a general understanding of them.
"You're not from Gaul." The girl asked excitedly as she walked.
