Alex knew very well that Anthony's death was a landmark case.
It means that the events that have been established in the past have begun to change, and the situation has gradually heated up, and no one knows what terrible things will happen next.
And this terrifying unknown is like a dark cloud that cannot be dissolved, floating over Gust Town. The gloomy and depressing atmosphere even made Alex feel suffocated for a moment.
"Will this be a single event?" Alex asked Angel in a low voice after returning to Kruya Church.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Angel said.
The day after Anthony's death, gloom still hangs over the town of Gust.
When Alex got up, he found that Father Bron Lang stayed in the church all night, pale and sad, kneeling in front of the statue of God Father, praying silently.
Seeing Alex's arrival, Father Bron Lang slowly turned his head: "Where are you going?"
"I went to the river to recite the divine scriptures."
Father Bron Lang was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Go, but Gust Town is not safe now, you don't go to too remote places, be careful."
Alex nodded in agreement, then left the church under the watchful eye of Father Bron Lang.
But Alex didn't see it. Father Burren Lang's eyes became dark and deep after he left. Finally, he sighed deeply with helplessness.
"You have hinted before that Father Bron Lang's core is not on the right track. However, I just saw him praying devoutly for Anthony, and it doesn't seem to be false." Angel asked curiously, last night Alex When Cox was sleeping, he went around town for a while, and when he left, Bron Lang prayed devoutly in the church, and when he came back in the morning, he was still praying silently. That sense of piety, in Angel's view, is very real.
Alex: "Father Bron Lang is qualified as a clergyman. Moreover, he is very fearful of death."
As for other aspects, Alex is reluctant to say more, after all, Father Bron Lang saved him and adopted him.
Angel also did not continue to talk about Father Bron Lang.
Two hours later, Alex arrived at the ranger's cabin where Mrs. Connie was.
Mrs. Connie did not leave, and was still lying on the bed to rest, but her face was pale, her eyes were dazed, and there were obvious tears on her cheeks, as if she had cried all night.
Alex brought food and medicine, and recited a sacred text with Mrs. Connie.
Although Alex himself doesn't believe in the content of the sacred book, it is very suitable for brainwashing, or to give hope to people in desperate situations.
After Mrs. Connie read the divine tome, her expression finally softened.
"Alex, when can I go back to town?" Mrs Connie still couldn't help asking.
With hesitation on his face, Alex had enough of Mrs. Connie's curiosity before slowly saying, "I was a little skeptical after hearing what Mrs. said yesterday. However, when I went back last night, Know that something big has happened."
Alex told Mrs. Connie about Anthony's death and Martin's disappearance.
Although Alex did not say who was responsible for the case, he kept leading Mrs. Connie to associate her experience with her.
After listening to Mrs. Connie, she shivered with fright, even though Alex did not give a complete chain of evidence to show that Anthony's death was related to the two undead who were chasing Mrs. Connie. But Mrs. Connie made up her own mind, but the more she made up her mind, the more scared she became.
"When Gust Town is currently in the dark, it's better for Mrs. Connie not to go back. Don't worry, I promise you in the name of Father God that once the undercurrent subsides, I will bring Mrs. Connie back immediately. in town."
A clergyman who moved out of the name of God the Father, Mrs. Connie was naturally convinced.
But Mrs. Connie didn't know that although Alex was a priest, it was just a glossy shell, and he was definitely an unbeliever at heart. Speaking in the name of God the Father is actually no different from farting.
At noon, Alex returned to Gust Town with a solemn expression.
When he stepped into the Kruja Church, he was surprised to find that the church that used to be full of people was full at this time, and everyone was silently praying to the statue of God the Father.
Obviously, the events that happened one after another, including Knight Raven, affected the people in the town.
Until the murderer cannot be caught, everyone can only hope in the gods, even if the gods have never shown his miracles.
Alex blended into the prayer crowd without any hindrance. He stood in front of the window, closing his eyes and chanting the teachings of the canon. The sunlight shining in through the window, mottled in the light and shadow, is as holy as the Son of God.
This week, all participants felt as if their hearts were redeemed.
But this kind of redemption only lasted for less than half an hour before breaking again.
The door of the church was slammed open, and the dim church was instantly covered by strong light. Everyone rubbed their stinging eyes and looked back, and a small black shadow jumped into their eyes.
When the eyes gradually adjusted to the light, they noticed that this was a little boy wearing an ochre-colored newsboy cap, his face was pale and panicked, and he rushed towards a fat middle-aged man in the church.
The little boy said a few words to the middle-aged man, and the man rolled his eyes and fainted.
There was panic and uproar in the church.
Alex took a few steps back, to the shadows. Angel, who was floating in the shadows, said softly, "What the child said was that the man's wife and daughter are all dead."
Alex nodded, he lip-talked even though he didn't hear the specifics. What Angel said was exactly the message that the child wanted to convey, and it was precisely because of this message that the man was stunned into a coma.
Alex: "Would they do it?"
"Maybe."
Soon, the sheriff's news came that the dead were not only the wife and daughter of the middle-aged man, but also a neighbor next door, a total of three people. All that was left was the head, which was placed on the dinner plate, and it felt extremely infiltrating just listening to it.
Moreover, there was a lot of blood splattered at the scene, and it was basically determined that the first scene was at home.
After the news was confirmed, the people in the church, who had previously felt a sense of redemption from reciting the divine scriptures, all disappeared at this time. Everyone's faces were pale and trembling, and with such a rampant serial murder, no one knew whether they would become the next deceased of this serial killer.
Everyone was apprehensive, and even some who lived alone were afraid to go home at this time. Even though the sun is shining outside, it still feels cold.
The sheriff had to send a team of knights to pick them up from the church.
Alex also went out with the knight, and he planned to go to the death scene to have a look.
When Angel was leaving, he looked back at the empty church. He noticed that the face of Father Berlen Lang, who was standing at the front, was extremely unsightly...
That night, Alex came to the top of the church and stood on the watchtower.
This is not only the highest point of Kruja Church, but also the highest point of the entire Gust Town.
Facing the cool wind at night, Alex looked at the low buildings around him. Because there is no night light, most of the areas are dark, which is the best cradle to breed evil and kill.
Because several consecutive murders have shown that the pursuer may still be somewhere in Gust Town. Alex wanted to come here to see the situation and see if they could be captured.
Alex: "Will they still do it?"
Angel: "The facts have shown that as long as Mrs. Connie is not found, the opened magic box will not be closed."
Even more and more intense.
When they were talking, footsteps suddenly came from behind. Alex looked back and saw Father Bron Lang walking up step by step.
"Alex, were you talking to someone just now?" Bron Lang wondered.
Alex shook his head: "No, just talking to himself."
Bron Lang looked suspiciously at Alex and looked around. This watchtower was very small and could not hide people at all, so Bron Lang did not ask any more questions, but said, "You come here at night. doing what?"
Alex: "There have been so many cases in a row, my heart has been terrified, and I can't sleep, so I came out to blow air."
Father Bron Lang whispered: "Father God will bless the devout believers and get through this difficult time."
After a pause, Bron Lang said again: "Now Gust Town is not safe, you should go back to rest first, and..."
Alex wondered, "And what?"
Bron Lang sighed and shook his head: "It's nothing, you go back to rest first. At least, Kruya Church will be safe under the blessing of the Father."
When Alex was about to say something, suddenly a scream came from the dark night.
Alex turned his head sharply and found that the screams were coming from the south of Gust Town.
Alex had wanted to leave the watchtower and go take a look. However, Bron Lang grabbed him and shook his head gently at him: "Go back and rest, I'll deal with the matter here."
Alex was silent for a moment, but nodded in agreement.
