Arad's crooked savior

Hedonmar, Remidia Cathedral.

Today, it is sunny in most of the Principality of Belmar. The brilliant golden sunlight shines on the pure white church, whose walls and windows are full of artistic style, giving off a sense of sacredness and nobility.

Ye Lin sat quietly at the door of the cathedral for a while, listening to the sacred prayers in the cathedral and the people passing by talking about the weather. They talked about the good weather in the principality in recent years, two harvests a year, each time a bumper harvest, filling the granaries, and no longer being hungry.

According to historical records, decades ago, the principality experienced an extreme weather period with no rain for several years. The sky seemed like a sponge that had been squeezed clean, with almost no rain falling, resulting in almost no harvest of the crops that had been worked so hard to cultivate.

Ye Lin observed the believers coming and going. Although they had not received God's revelation and did not possess holy power in their bodies, they had gentle faces, smiles, and their devout faith was no less than those believers who possessed holy power.

Thanks to the auspicious signs of good weather and good harvests, many people are filled with joy and gratitude. At the end of the year, they come to the cathedral or the small church in their own village to make certain donations and sing prayers to express their gratitude and thanks to God.

They believe that auspicious scenes are the protection and gift of God.

However, the truth is not so. In fact, it is the blessing of the big fool Ganlinzhiyun to Belmare.

"Fei Liao, Hua Hua, everyone will be back soon." Ye Lin said to himself, then stood up and walked into the Remidia Cathedral. According to the information, he walked skillfully towards the confessional.

After a few seconds, the sound of books being put on the table came from the other side of the curtain, followed by a soft and warm voice: "People who have lost their way, I can hear great pain in your voice. Don't worry, God is always with us."

“Tell me your troubles, and God will listen with me.”

This is the usual opening statement of the clergy.

After hearing the response, Ye Lin sat up straight, clenched his fists, and said in pain: "I... associate with the devil, I am cursed by the devil, and I am ashamed of the light of God."

There was a louder noise from the other end, and after a little while, he continued, "God is listening."

The clergy on the opposite side had secretly raised their guard, considering whether to call for help. The word "demon" was too sensitive. Ever since the death of Chaos Apostle Ozma and the elimination of the Pretender, the meaning of the word "demon" among the clergy had begun to point to things summoned by those messy rituals.

Of course, in folk culture, the devil may also refer to those who do many evil things, such as serial killers.

But no matter what kind of demon it was, the clergyman who listened to the confession felt that he had to be vigilant and prepared.

The clergy actually have basic requirements in their regulations. No matter who the confessor sitting opposite is, no matter what heinous crime he has committed, the clergy responsible for listening may not take coercive measures on the spot.

This is to express God’s true love for the world, to show God’s mercy and tolerance, and to give the other party a chance to reform.

At least, that's the surface rule.

But the actual operation is another matter. The clergy will not take action in the confessional, nor in the Remidia Cathedral. However, once outside the cathedral, it is time to pick up the cross and let the criminal "atone for his sins."

In short, people who have committed crimes are not without the opportunity to reform, but this does not mean that their past sins can be wiped out by letting them confess in the confessional for a while.

God will not forgive on behalf of the victims. God's cross and battle axe will express God's attitude. God is in the principality and has its own laws.

Throughout history, there have been only a handful of times when people who associate with the devil, those who are cursed, have dared to confront the Remidia Cathedral.

However, we cannot infer from these two simple sentences that the other party is really involved with the devil. The clergyman sitting on the other side calmed down. Her voice was gentle and contained the power to relax the mind, like a spring breeze, so she asked him to continue.

"My heart has been deeply eaten away by the devil. I am guilty. Some of my emotions have been infinitely magnified by the devil. Under the influence of the devil, I have no appetite. It seems that my soul has left my body. My soul no longer belongs to me..."

The priest on the other side frowned slightly when she heard this, hesitated for a moment, and spread a wisp of holy power over, trying to explore the hidden truth, but a strange thing happened, she did not sense the slightest evil aura from the other party.

"Is the other party hiding it too well, or is he talking nonsense?" the priest whispered.

"There are shadows under the light. The fact that you can come here to confess shows that your soul has not fallen yet and is still loyal to God. Do you know... the name of that devil? I and God will definitely help you."

After a while, a heavy voice came from the other side, saying: "The name of that demon is... Love."

like?

On the other side of the confessional, the clergyman who was already holding the cross was stunned.

"I have been cursed by the devil of love and will not survive this day. He told me that if I cannot find my true love, I will die in agony before sunset..."

Ye Lin was still conscientiously making up stories when suddenly, the heavy curtain was lifted, revealing the beautiful face of Obeis. The latter rolled his eyes at him with an expression that said, "As expected, it's you," and said sarcastically:

"Come here and get beaten!"

"Forget it, I'll go over and beat you up, and I'm still pulling the mushy stuff."

Obeis came over from the opposite side, raised his hand angrily and hit him on the head.

The confessional was very narrow and there was only one stool. She sat sideways on Ye Lin's lap with a smile on her face, then bent her head and kissed him.

"Has your love curse been lifted?" Obeis had applied lipstick and stained some on his lips.

Sugarcane hugged Obeis's soft waist and said righteously: "The way to solve the curse is not to say it, but to do it."

Soon, Ye Lin stood in the small confessional, holding the holy book in his left hand and stroking Obeis's soft hair in front of him with his right hand, and confessed: "I am guilty."

Obeis nodded repeatedly and confessed in his heart: "I am guilty. I am not kneeling this time to pray to God."
