Alex understands very well that Anthony's death is a landmark case.

It means that the previously established events are beginning to change, and the situation is gradually heating up, and no one knows what terrible things will happen next.

And this terrifying unknown, like an indissolvable dark cloud, floated in the sky over Gust Town, and the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere made Alex even feel suffocated for a moment.

"Could this be a single incident?" asked Alex in a low voice as he returned to the Cruja Chapel, to Ingres, who was hiding nearby.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" said Angle.

The day after Anthony's death, gloom still loomed over the town of Gust.

Alex woke up to find Father Bronlong asleep in the church, pale and sad, kneeling in front of the statue of God the Father, praying silently.

Seeing Alex's arrival, Father Bronlong slowly turned his head: "Where are you going?"

"I went to the river to recite the sacred scriptures. ”

Father Bronlong was silent for a moment and nodded: "Go ahead, but now Gusttown is not safe, you don't go to too remote places, be careful." ”

Alex nodded in agreement, and then left the church under the watchful eye of Father Bronlong.

Alex didn't see it, and Father Bronlong's eyes became dark and deep after he left, and finally sighed deeply with helplessness.

"You have previously suggested that Father Brenlong's core is not on the right track. However, the prayers I saw for Anthony didn't seem to be false. Ingres asked curiously, he went around town last night while Alex was sleeping, and when he left, Bronlong prayed in the church, and when he came back early in the morning, he was still praying silently. That sense of piety, in Ingres's view, is very real.

Alex: "Father Bronlong is a clergyman, he is qualified. Moreover, he was very reverent of death. ”

As for the rest, Alex was reluctant to say more, after all, Father Bronlong had saved him and adopted him.

Ingres did not continue to talk about Father Bronlong.

Two hours later, Alex arrived at Lady Connie's Woodranger's Cabin.

Mrs. Connie did not leave, and still lay down in bed to rest, but her face was pale, her eyes were dazed, and there were obvious tear stains on her cheeks, and it seemed as if she had been crying all night.

Alex brought food and medicine, and recited a sacred text with Lady Connie.

Although Alex himself doesn't believe in the content of the canon, it is very suitable for brainwashing, or rather, to give hope to people in a desperate situation.

Lady Connie's expression finally softened after reciting the canon.

"Alex, when will I be back in town?" asked Lady Connie.

Alex had a hesitation on his face, and he had enough of Mrs. Connie's curiosity before he said slowly: "Originally, I heard what Mrs. said yesterday, and I was still a little suspicious. However, when I went back last night, I realized that something big had happened. ”

Alex told Mrs. Connie about Anthony's death and Martin's disappearance.

Although Alex did not say who was responsible for the case, the conversation kept leading Lady Connie to think about what happened to her.

Lady Connie shuddered with fear when she heard this, 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 Lady Connie. But Mrs. Connie made up her own brain, but the more she made up her brain, the more scared she became.

"Gusttown is now in the midst of an undercurrent that is tumbling, and it is best for Lady Connie not to go back, but rest assured, I assure you in the name of God that I will take Lady Connie back to town as soon as the undercurrent fades. ”

A clergyman has moved out of the name of God the Father, and Lady Connie is naturally convinced.

But Mrs. Connie didn't know that although Alex was a priest, it was just a shiny shell, and he was definitely an unbeliever at heart. He speaks in the name of the Father, but it's no different from farting.

At noon, Alex returned to Gusttown with a calm face.

When he stepped into the church of Kruya, he was surprised to find that the church, which had not been crowded with people, was now full, and everyone was silently praying to the statue of God the Father.

Obviously, these events that happened one after another, including the knights of Raven, affected the people in the town.

Until the murderer is caught, everyone can only hope in the gods, even if the gods never show His miracles.

Alex blended in with the praying crowd without hindrance, standing in front of the window, closing his eyes and muttering the teachings of the canon. The sunlight shining through the window, dappled with light and shadow, is as holy as the son of God.

This service made all the participants feel as if they had been redeemed in their hearts.

But this kind of redemption only lasted less than half an hour, and it was broken again.

The door of the church was pushed open suddenly, and the dim church was instantly covered by a strong light, and everyone rubbed their eyes stinged by the sun and looked back, and a small black shadow jumped into view.

As their eyes adjusted to the light, they noticed that it was a young boy in an ochre-colored newsboy hat, 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 a panic and uproar in the church.

Alex took a few steps back into the shadows. Anger, who was floating in the shadows, whispered, "What the boy said is that the man's wife and daughter are all dead. ”

Alex nodded, and although he didn't hear the specific message, he could lip out. What Ingres said was the message that the child was trying to convey, and it was because of this message that the man was so shocked that he fell unconscious.

Alex: "Could it be that they did it?"

"Probably so. ”

Soon, news came from the sheriff, and the dead were not only the middle-aged man's wife and daughter, but also a next-door neighbor, a total of three people. All that was left was the head, which was placed on a plate, and just listening to it made me feel very infiltrating.

Moreover, there were a large number of blood splatters at the scene, and it was basically determined that the first scene was at home.

After this news was confirmed, the people in the church, who had previously felt a sense of salvation from reciting the sacred scriptures, all disappeared at this time. Everyone's faces were pale and trembling, such a rampant continuous killing, no one knew if they would become the next deceased of this serial murderer.

Everyone was uneasy, and there were even people who lived alone, who did not dare to go home at this time. Even though the sun was thick outside, I still felt the chill.

The sheriff was only able 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 scene of the death to have a look.

As he was leaving, Ingres looked back at the empty church, and he noticed that the face of Father Bronlong, who was standing at the forefront, was extremely palpable......

That night, Alex came to the top of the church and stood on the watchtower.

This is not only the highest point of the church of Kruja, but also the highest point of the entire town of Gust.

Facing the cool wind of the night, Alex looked at the low buildings around him, because there was no night light, most of the area was dark, it was the best cradle for breeding evil and killing.

Because several murders in a row have shown one thing, the pursuer may still be somewhere in Gust Town. Alex wanted to come here to see if he could catch them.

Alex: "Will they still do it?"

Angels: "It has been shown that as long as Mrs. Connie is not found, the box that has been opened will not be closed." ”

Even, it will get worse and worse.

As they spoke, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them, and Alex looked back to see Father Bronlong walking up step by step.

"Alex, were you talking to someone?" Bronlong wondered.

Alex shook his head: "No, just talking to himself." ”

Bronlong looked at Alex suspiciously, looked around, this watchtower is very small, and it can't hide people at all, so Bronlang didn't ask about it again, but said, "What are you doing here at night?"

Alex: "With so many cases in a row, my heart has been so panicked that I can't sleep, so I come out and blow the wind. ”

Father Bronlong whispered, "God the Father will bless the faithful through this difficult time." ”

After a pause, Bronlong said again: "Now that Gusttown is not safe, you better go back and rest first, and ......"

Alex wondered, "And what?"

Brunlong sighed and shook his head: "It's nothing, you go back and rest first." At the very least, the church of Kruja will be safe with the blessing of God the Father. ”

Just as Alex was about to say something, suddenly a scream came from the night.

Alex jerked his head back and saw that the screams were coming from the south side of Gusttown.

Alex had wanted to leave the watchtower and go over and have a look. However, Brunlong 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, then nodded in agreement.
