Morelin went to talk about business, and Zach wandered around the church with nothing to do.
Someone came closer to Zach, it looked like a deacon, "The funeral went well."
Zach glanced at the other person and nodded without responding.
The other party was talking about the funeral at the Church of the Holy Child. Today is Monday, and the funeral of Grande’s client last week is being held at the Holy Child Church. This is also the most direct reason why Zach is no longer with Grande now - a certain reporter, um, Kate, somehow convinced the relatives of the funeral to film the entire funeral process. Zach's mood dictated that he didn't want to get into any more entanglements with Kate, so he handed it over to the others in Grande and left.
"Mo is doing very well." Deacon said, still standing next to Zach, "There's just something wrong with the accent."
In fact, one can guess why Kate went to such trouble to obtain the video records of Grande's work, but Zach did not want the images to be preserved, and Louise's imaging ability has not improved, and it is still black fog with red dots. So the Mo here is 'Louise' disguised by Mo using her materialization ability. The real Louise actually didn't show up at the funeral at all, she was just guiding Mo in the background to control the process.
It’s also worth mentioning that there is no one in Grande now, not even Danny. Ever since Kate came to Grande last time, Danny, the fantasy man, has started to avoid this human reporter, because this reporter It was too clear that she wanted to destroy Zach. Wouldn't it be too funny if Zach suddenly died suddenly one day and the fantasy man accidentally fulfilled Kate's wish
"But it's not a big problem. Mo's Louise looks very real, and Jin is nearby and can replace her at any time."
Since Zach didn't interrupt, the deacon continued. He thought Zach would want to know the situation at his home, "Mike also ordered the demons to help and possessed the camera team to ensure that the entire funeral process was recorded in the end. It’s all good things…”
Zach glanced at the deacon who kindly conveyed the information, "Of course, Grande is the symbol of Barton's funeral industry, and of course it's all good."
"Haha, yes." The deacon smiled. It was probably Zach who responded. This guy spoke with a little more passion, "But, there is also a little surprise..."
Very well, Zach's attention completely passed, "Accident?"
"Well, when Eric was leading the prayer..."
Ah, I almost forgot, this is Eric's first job since he became the priest of Holy Child Church. Zach frowned and really ignored the state of this young priest.
"... It's stuck." The deacon's face was very relaxed, indicating that the result was good - "There was a slight pause, and Jin took his place and completed the blessing, so it's probably nothing."
Zach tilted his head and stopped paying attention. It didn't sound like a real surprise.
"Jessica hopes you have time to chat with Eric..."
"Jessica is back?" Zach raised an eyebrow. The last time I went to see the Fallen Angel, I learned that after the Fallen Angel returned to hell, she never came up, so Zach asked.
"No." The deacon shook his head and pointed at his eyes, which could be filled with black mist at any time. "Mike contacted her when he was comforting Eric. She said, 'Look for Zach for this kind of thing.'"
Zach curled his lips, "What happened to Eric?" Need the devil's comfort? It doesn't sound like it's just the first time I'm nervous at 'work'.
The deacon continued to shake his head, "I don't know, and Mike didn't ask anything."
Zach waved his hand, "Okay, I'll note it down." There was nothing to refuse. Eric was stuck at Grande's funeral, and Constantine did ask Zach to take care of the young man.
The deacon smiled, nodded, made a blessing ceremony, finished what he wanted to say, and walked away.
Zach could only continue wandering around in boredom.
The church in the West District is quite ordinary. It is not as gorgeous as Mary's Church, and it is not as unique as Holy Child Church. Zach found a seat and sat down boredly, looking at the cross on the altar and thinking... Well, a philosophical question - was this thing first used? As a religious symbol, it was first used as a torture instrument...
Well, Zach is really bored, and now there is not even a soul in the church. It’s understandable. It was worship yesterday, but today there are people coming to the church. It’s so sad—people pray too frequently. Zach didn't even have the chance to find a random stranger to slander and ridicule...
Someone has entered the church.
It looks like a good time-killer—the whole body is covered in clothing, and the woman seems to be spending the winter in advance. There are many gloves, hats, and scarves. She lowered her head and did not take off the sunglasses that almost covered half of her face after entering the door. Instead, she lowered her wide-brimmed hat even further. After entering the door, I pressed against the side wall of the church and walked quickly with a clear purpose.
Zach couldn't see much, but, 'Rich. 'Zac commented casually in his mind - the women's fashion magazine he had been reading with Mo Ruilin for a long time now has an app, 'Good taste, and then, a feeling of guilt~'
Not only was the other person's heartbeat beating at a high speed that only vampires would notice, but also more intuitively, this woman walked directly into the confessional room~
Zach was like a hypocritical gentleman who said "despise gossip" while leaning into his ear. He turned his head and listened to what was going on in the confession room.
*"Father, I am guilty."*
Well, no surprise at all, it will always be this opening.
Zach leaned back on his chair, curled his lips for some unknown reason, and raised his hand toward the cross on the altar, "Tell me and listen~"
*"I destroyed a good man's family..."*
"Yes." Zach continued to raise his hand towards the cross on the altar, "A good man will not let a woman destroy his family~"
Would Zach be a terrible priest, eh, or a great one? It doesn't matter, anyway, the vampire is just talking to himself in the air boredly. The priest who is really listening to this woman's confession is a demon, so it doesn't matter.
*"I know this is selfish, but isn't love selfish..."*
Zach shrugged at the cross, "You have to decide whether you want to come here to confess or seek recognition~"
*"I need a sign, a, um, guidance, whether I should continue..."*
"Oh~ So, you are just asking for forgiveness~ and then continue..." Zach stopped temporarily and looked to his side with raised eyebrows. The deacon came back again and sat next to Zach with a smile on his face -
"It seems interesting. Can I listen in?"
Zach shrugged, "I'm just bored, whatever you want."
The deacon smiled and nodded, his eyes began to darken, "Do you want to play the role of a priest for once?"
*In the confession room, the originally dazed priest blinked, raised his eyebrows with dark eyes, and glanced at the woman behind the gate who was waiting for 'wisdom's guidance'. When he twitched the corner of his mouth, there was actually a smile. "My child, does the situation you are in now make you happy?"*
Zach raised his eyebrows and glanced at the deacon beside him. I seem to have encountered a playful devil, but it’s boring anyway, so why not? Zach: "Be specific, ask her about that man and whether that man is happy."
The priest in the confessional did so.
* "Happiness? I..." The woman seemed to hesitate, "I think he is happy, at least, well, when he is with me, he is, well, 'happy', you know. Uh, Father, if we are We are happy when we are together, so we can't be wrong, right?"*
"Remind her that the first words she said, 'a family.'" Zach raised an eyebrow.
Just do it.
*"Father, this is what makes me uneasy, his family... His family, I don't think his family is happy, they are always arguing and quarreling... You see, I am the one who makes him happy. …”*
"Ask her, why is she here? If she is so sure that she is the one who makes the other person happy."
Just do it.
* "Because!" A sudden excitement, then depression, "He has children, two children... Father, I have to admit, I actually don't feel guilty about his wife at all. Love is always right, right? Father! But those two children, they are still children. I don’t think they will understand their father. By the way, he is the best father, really! Father, I don’t want his children because of me, because I and Their father's love changes their love for their father..."*
Zach raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Magical moral standards, magical logic." Then he waved his hand, "Don't repeat this, ask her, um..." Zach raised his eyebrows at the deacon, asking for advice.
"Uh... I don't know." The deacon spread his hands, "I'm just not suitable to be a priest, so I was arranged to be a deacon by the fallen angel."
Zach curled his lips and said, "Feel free."
*The priest in the confessional blinked, "So, my child, are you worried that his children will not accept you? Will not accept the love of you and their father..."
"Yes! Yes, Father! Thank you, Father!" Before the priest could finish his free speech, he was interrupted by the woman. He looked very happy, "That's it! So that's it! I, I was worried about myself!" *
Zach looked at the cross on the altar again, with a chuckle, "How typical, no one is here to repent, they are just looking for a reason."
*The woman in the confessional continued, remaining happy, even, excited, "I was so worried that I would destroy a family. I was wrong! I shouldn't have worried about this! I was happy, he ('good' man) ) is happy! With me! So it’s his wife who makes everyone unhappy! I didn’t do anything wrong, right! I should find a way to make his children accept me and accept their father’s happiness, right! Then! That’s perfect, that’s it, right Father!”*
There was a smile on Zach's face that came from nowhere in his heart. "Haha, now I want to get to know this woman. You have to admit, she has a magical brain circuit, right?"
There is no time to say that this is just a joke, don't carry it out.
*Priest: "What is your name, my child?" Before the other party noticed anything was wrong - after all, this is the confessional, isn't it, anonymous! The priest continued, "Tell me your name and I will give you my blessing and pursue your perfect happiness."*
Zach instantly completed a bet in his mind. This woman was not so magical yet.
Zach was wrong.
*"Heather~Father, my name is Heather~" This woman is hopeless. This is the fate of a woman who really harbors sin and walks into a church controlled by demons. "Pray for me, Father~Thank you, Father~ I feel full of hope~”
"The Holy Lord bless you, Heather." The dark fog in the priest's eyes disappeared, "The donation box is next to the altar." - the only sentence that fit his identity as a priest. *
The door of the confessional room opened, and Zach and the deacon watched together as the woman raised her head with joy, walked to the altar, lit the prayer lamp, emptied all the cash in her wallet, and performed the divine blessing ceremony devoutly. Looking up at the cross, "Wish me happiness~"
Finally, I left the church with the same hope that I had been reborn and was satisfied.
Watching Heather leave with equally pious eyes, Zach couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "Okay, this is interesting." He stood up, "Now, I have to go too." Because Morelin was there. He waved outside the church and said that the matter was over and he could leave. "I hope this little thing won't cause you any trouble."
"No." The deacon smiled, "With or without you, we will eventually get her name, and, haha, the family she talks about, Jessica will ask for it. This is how we find out about the family in the West District. one."
Zach first gestured to Morelin, saying immediately, "Oh? Do you think she is talking about the West End family?"
"She's quite generous, isn't she?" The deacon shrugged and looked at the donation box. Heather had probably put more than a few thousand dollars in it just now. "Even if it's not the core family of the West District, it's not far behind."
Zach raised his eyebrows, too. Judging from Heather's clothing and generosity, she wouldn't be a servant. Oh, do I still need to explain? There are two classes in the West District, the servant class that serves the people in the West District, and the class that is served.
With a final nod as a farewell, Zach walked out of the church.
"You look like you've found something to pass the time." Still, Zach drove, and Morelin was already waiting in the passenger seat consciously.
"Well, then, where should we go next?" There is still half a morning to kill.
"Call Rita. She has already sorted it out. We will pick her up from Sheila. Then, go back to the store and you will help Rita sew clothes." Morelin shrugged, Zach Sewing skills are a waste if not used.
"Okay." That was all I could do. When I started the car, I felt the extra weight in the trunk of the car. It seemed that the harvest on the church side was good. "How much stuff is there in Sheila?" I just asked casually.
"If you can't let it go, drag it twice, you drag it." Mo Ruilin didn't have any burden for instigating Zach, but suddenly smiled, "Just drag Rita back after getting the new bag. Haha, there is something funny. Do you want to hear about things?"
"speak."
"Rita found out why Falcon didn't want the bag, because on the lining it said, 'To my dear Heather, yours, Falcon.'"
It was really funny, so Zach laughed. (.)
