Chapter 104 Ode to Death
byChapter 104 Ode to Death
Malivi thought that even if the bishop punished him now, he would accept it calmly.
Huai Shan raised his eyes and looked at Maliwei. He had a lot of white eyes, and he was usually not easy to get close to. He had a bad look on his face.With a deliberate move, only one-third of the black pupils were left in the sockets. Malivi was frightened by his face and took a step back.
"Bishop," Shannan slowly walked down the steps, "Did you bring the wine in your hand to me?"
Shang Nan interrupted at the right time, and Huai Shan's attention was successfully diverted. He grinned at Shang Nan, with a few sharp teeth looming, "Yes, I'm hungry, can I eat at your place?"
"Can."
Maliwei's rudeness was revealed in this way, and Huaishan would not answer his stupid questions.
Malivi had been standing in the shadow next to the handrail of the stairs. It was not until the sound of chairs moving in the restaurant that his tense body relaxed. For some reason, he felt that Bishop Huaishan just now did not look like a human being.If Bishop Huaishan's look before was like he wanted to eat someone, then his look afterward was like he wanted to kill someone.
The dark red solid wood door of the restaurant was like a bloody mouth, sucking the poor priest in. At this time, there were only two people inside, the priest and the bishop. It was really dangerous.
After admiring Nan, he took a bite of the corn tortilla. The texture was very rough and he had to chew hard for many times before he could swallow it successfully. During this process, he had to use the help of hot porridge.
"Bishop, Xiumaya was killed, did you know?"
"Know."
Huaishan answered neatly, "Suyuan called me. He said Xiumaya had your hair in his hands and asked me if I knew anything about it. What do I know? I know nothing."
"Besides, Father, in your opinion, someone like me might be the murderer?"
He doesn't kill people, he only harvests souls, Shan Nan thought to himself.
"What kind of person does the bishop think he is?"
"Sunny and cheerful, extremely handsome. In all movies, a person like me would at most be a lunatic who plucks out people's eyes and eats them as gummies, rather than a serial murderer who commits crimes in the middle of the night. They are usually more introverted." Huai.The thing in front of him was still raw meat. As bloody as the meat was, his fangs were also bloody. After he finished speaking, he licked it with the tip of his tongue against the tooth surface.
Shang Nan looked away expressionlessly. If he hadn't known Huai Shan's identity and nature, Huai Shan's current appearance would have been enough for Shang Nan to report him.
"But the question is, Father, why are you related to the murderer?" Huaishan's teeth were neat and white again. He took a cylindrical glass that he usually used for drinking water, asked Aren for a knife, and put it inHe pried the cork out of the bottle. He poured nine-tenths of the wine into the glass and placed it in front of Shannan, "I don't think you will like it."
Shang Nan: "..." I knew he didn't like it, so I gave him a drink.
Huai Shan poured himself a glass. It was a full glass. He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. The sound of swallowing sounded like the sound of a beast drinking water. After pouring the second glass of wine, he drank it all.Sit down slowly.
I didn't know what kind of wine it was, but as soon as it was poured from the bottle, it gave off a pungent smell, so strong that Shannan's eyes narrowed subconsciously.He would definitely not drink this kind of strong liquor.
"I don't know. If I knew, then this case would be solved directly."
"Yes," Huaishan said. He paused for a while, tilted his head and asked, "Maybe it's the barber. After all, he is the person most likely to pull out your hair."
Shan Nan stopped cutting the meat. When he was chatting with 14 before, he had not considered this possibility, but Shi Sen's sister was killed by the Pope and the patriarchs. If he wanted to kill, he would also kill people in the church.The possibility of killing him is greater than the possibility of killing ordinary citizens.
"Well, I don't know." Shang Nan fed a small piece of meat into his mouth. The gentle and delicate way he ate was the two extremes of Huai Shan's gobbling, so Huai Shan watched Shang Nan eat with great enthusiasm.It's like watching a stage play with beautiful scenery and lighting.
"Did you find any similarities between the people who were killed?" The second piece of meat was placed in front of Huai Shan. He did not go to get the tableware for the time being, but stared at Shan Nan, "Now is the fifth person who was killed.One person was killed in the third block, two people were killed in the second block, and there are currently two people in the first block. I think there should be a third one soon. The third victim should be the person in the Cathedral of Santa Maria.. From the third block to the first block and the Cathedral of Santa Maria, a state gradually converges and the number of victims increases, and the victims are also the most loyal and outstanding believers in the church."
"Father, maybe you will be the next victim." Huaishan laughed, his pupils dilated more than before, and he saw the panic and fear expression on the priest's face with excitement and anticipation.
Shang Nan quickly disappointed him.
"Didn't the bishop say, protect me?"
Huaishan's expression fell, and he buried his head in eating meat, "Well, I regret it. The Holy Lord taught us to do as we please."
Shan Nan took a sip of goat milk and said slowly: "Okay then, I will go to a tattoo artist tomorrow to cover the mark on my arm with the lily of the valley flowers in the yard. How..."
The priest's teasing and threats failed to come out, and the bishop suddenly raised his head. Before he could swallow the meat in his mouth, when he spoke, two rows of teeth collided, and the raw meat in his mouth was squeezed, which was the same color as his eyes.The blood-red meat juice flowed from the corner of his mouth, and Huai Shan said word by word, "Father, you can try it."
"If you try, I'll bite you all over next time."
"..." Shan Nan was speechless for a moment. He found that it was unlikely that someone would bite him all over his body, but if it was Huai Shan, he would have a high chance of doing what he said.
The always sharp-tongued priest lowered his noble head for the first time and said in a low voice: "I understand."
When the priest lowered his head, his hair moved with his movements. A few strands of hair hanging on his shoulders slipped down from his shoulders, revealing his slightly red ears. This touch of red was hidden in his hair, making him look particularly beautiful and charming..
Huaishan stared at it for a long time, folded a napkin and wiped the corners of his lips with a thoughtful expression.
Huai Shan was reminding Shan Nan of something.
The next day, Shannan asked Malivi to inform Suyuan of this analysis. Suyuan was so grateful on the other end of the phone that he swore, but he also told Malivi that no one on the list could be included.Suspicious persons.
On that list, there was also a barber that Huaishan guessed. Huaishan would harvest souls after death. He might have bumped into the scene. He would not mention a person who seemed to have nothing to do with the case for no reason.
But Shan Nan could only give hints. He had no evidence to identify Shi Sen with certainty, because even he himself doubted the credibility of Huai Shan's words - because the bishop was usually too bad.
In the afternoon, Shang Nan went to preside over Xiumaya's funeral. Her family burst into tears. Shang Nan did not stay long, comforted Teacher Xiumo, and left with Malivi.
I thought I could have a good rest today, but I received an uninvited guest in the priest's chapel. The uninvited guest was revealed by Shan Nan's face. As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart.
The gray-haired old man who had been introduced into the living room by Ren. Except for the fact that his hair looked fluffy, soft and healthy, the rest of his body seemed to be drained of moisture. His dark purple robe seemed to be wrapped in a piece of shriveled meat, and his cheeks were deeply sunken., the wrinkled brown face clearly outlines the facial bones, but his eyes have not become cloudy due to his age at all. Instead, they are as black and bright as black coal stones rolled in the water. They are bright and at the same time,It also gives the illusion of suffocation.
After seeing the other party, Shan Nan didn't even have time to change his clothes. He walked over quickly, bent down and greeted the other party, "Pang Shengshou, good night, how are you lately?"
The Holy Head is a title that belongs to the Patriarch. The Patriarch is only one level lower than the Pope and is very difficult to meet with him on weekdays.
Pang Shengshou's full name is Pang Jitang. He is the second uncle of Pang Xixi and Pang Xiuxiu. His expression is completely telling Shan Nan: I am here to trouble you.
So even though Shang Nan's etiquette in greeting him was standard and respectful enough, he didn't give Shang Nan any good looks. Instead, he snorted, "Just a priest."
Shang Nan stood still.
He looked nothing like the two brothers Pang Xixi Pang Xiu Xiu who were too fat. He had been in a high position for many years, and his eyes were naturally submissive and aloof.
"Father, I hope you can spend one night repenting for your rudeness to Mayor Pangxi, even if you are considered by the Pope to be the child of the Holy Lord, even if the Holy Lord's book clearly lists your white hair andBai Tong describes him as the child of his old man, but his sacred appearance cannot hide his dirty heart. Please don't continue to waste and tarnish your sacred appearance."
After being reminded on the 14th, Shang Nan recalled: The Pope is the Pope.
"Okay." Shannan replied.
Pang Jitang's eyes widened, "But I can't see the slightest hint of remorse in your eyes!"
The most annoying people to Shounan are the ugly old men who bully others. He raised his eyes and said, "District Chief Pang casually takes the blame on innocent citizens just to complete the task. In your eyes, is this considered rude?"
"What's more, Pang Xixi is just the district chief, and I am his priest. If you want to be rude, it is he who is rude to me." Shang Nan said, "Shengshou Pang, you came here specifically for this."It’s too much of a fuss to rush over for such a trivial matter.”
Malivi stood behind Shan Nan, not daring to express his anger. He knew that his priest was noble, but he never knew that his priest dared to argue with the Holy Head who was several levels above him.
"Just a priest!" Pang Jitang was furious. There had never been such an unruly believer in the church. Huai Shan was already a headache, but now there was another one!
Pang Jitang walked away, and Maliwei was extremely worried, "Father, what if he complains to the Holy See?"
"What are you complaining about," Shannan blurted out, and when he met Malivi's shocked and doubtful eyes that his faith was about to collapse, he immediately changed his words, "What are you complaining about? If I was really guilty, he would have asked the Holy See to make the decision. Why bother to do it himself?"Come to me."
"Pang Xixi is too annoying. It's just a trivial matter. He actually complained to the Holy Capital. If it weren't for your identity," Malivi said fearfully, "Maybe the Holy Capital could find any reason to execute you."
The absurd world, absurd hierarchy and social rules reminded Shang Nan of what Huai Shan had said before: human life is the least valuable thing.
In Borage, that's true.
Huai Shen set up a home at the highest point of the Cathedral of Santa Maria, where there was a huge bronze bell. In the past few years, a deacon worked in this position. He would ring it every hour to say the holy sermon or start the ceremony.Before a certain grand event, three knocks are struck.Now, the bronze bell has been moved to the central square, leaving this area empty.
Huaishan's empty wine bottles were all over the floor. He only drank strong wine. It was so strong that it could burn through his throat. Burning through his throat was what Tu Fu described. Huaishan couldn't feel it anymore. Naturally, he didn't either.When you get drunk, you can always be sober enough to remember some people.
They won the choir competition. The principal was so excited that he asked the teacher to prepare new clothes for the ten of them. It was the first time that everyone was dressed so brightly. The girls had the most exquisite braided hair, and the pleats of the skirts were not messy at all., the boys put on suits and leather shoes, and Wanmi even secretly traced his eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
Not only did he know that Tu Fu liked Wan Mi, but he also knew that Wan Mi had already prepared what he thought was the best birthday gift for Tu Fu. That birthday gift was still hidden in the cabinet in his office, and he didn't dare to show it to Tu Fu..
The principal knew it, and so did the two teachers. They happily sent everyone into the palace in person. Looking at the golden palace belonging to the Pope, everyone changed from excitement to anxiety and confusion.
Fortunately, the deacons were all very amiable and chatted with everyone about things in the school.
The huge restaurant was richly decorated, as if it was welcoming some festive festival. Shining tried hard to recall that today did not seem to be a festival, but if it was just to welcome and reward a group of children, it would be a bit too exaggerated.
Everyone's seats were far apart, and the plates in front of them were shiny and terrifyingly large in diameter. There was no food in front of each of them, and they were excitedly waiting for the sumptuous dinner.
The Pope was very thin, like a skeleton, with dull skin and eyes. Shining met each other's eyes and was startled by the other's dark eyes, but he had always been the calmest in the choir. He smiled at the Pope and said,The Pope smiled back.
Then, Shi Xiaorui, who was sitting closest to the Pope, was dragged away from the chair by holding both arms. The remaining nine people were stunned for a moment, because they didn't know what happened and what was going to happen. Their faces were full ofAt a loss - Shi Xiaorui was thrown on a white plastic sheet. She sat up in a daze, but was pushed down again. Her head was completely unable to move, and she stared blankly at the gold ceiling.
It wasn't until a hammer as big as a bowl was raised high above Shi Xiaorui's body that both Twinkle and Cangtu reacted. Twinkle jumped onto the table, grabbed a table knife, ran over and inserted it hard into the table.When the priest was hit in the back, he was almost not shocked that he had hurt someone. He dragged Shi Xiaorui up. When he shouted, the veins on his neck popped out, "Run!"
Cangtu pulled Wanmi, who couldn't move, and ran away, and the others followed Flashing and ran all the way.
The tall and heavy door had been closed when they entered, and dozens of deacons wearing aprons poured out from behind the pope...
The reason why the Holy Lord can accurately describe the horror of hell is because he has seen hell with his own eyes.
Shining's head was hit with a stick, and blood flowed down his cheek. They became meat and fish on the chopping board. The hands on his shoulders were extremely strong. He saw with his own eyes that his friends were dragged away one by one. They died.His face was smeared with snot and tears, and he couldn't even be said to be pretty. Even if they bit and kicked him, they couldn't shake these devils at all.
Bieyun loved to be beautiful the most, but she was stripped naked in front of everyone's eyes, dumped on a metal elevated structure, her body cut open, her bones broken, and carved into a bloody flower.
Wanmi kept shouting to Rabbit to save me, but Twinkle did not dare to look at Cang Rabbit, who was shouting at the top of his lungs and almost going crazy.
Then it was Winky's turn. He was escorted in front of the Pope. Without thinking, he spat at the Pope. The machete behind him was raised high and fell from his hand.
As if a sacred object was being brought to the Pope, the Pope tied a white napkin, grabbed a handful of shining hair, and raised his parched neck.
Huaishan didn't know if he was completely dead at that time. He calmly stared at the dark night of Santa Maria, and the feeling of the rapid loss of content in his brain was still clear.
Holding on to the sickle, he jumped down from the top of the high church and saw an angry old man in purple walking out of the church.
Saint Pang, the Patriarch who was full of praise for Bieyun’s taste.
"Ouch!" Pang Jitang was walking, but suddenly he couldn't walk anymore, and seemed to have hit a wall. He covered his head, looked at the empty road ahead, and turned around to ask his deacon, "Just now,Did you see anything?"
"No," replied his deacon.
Pang Jitang puffed up his withered cheeks and continued to move forward, using a lot of strength.
Huaishan dodged to the side, Pang Jitang hit the air, and Gululu rolled down the stairs in front of the church. His deacon was frightened and chased after him.
Huaishan turned around and looked at this scene, holding his stomach and laughing wildly.
Unfortunately, he didn't die.
Among the three people imprisoned in the basement of Bishop Huaishan's office building, one was as thin as dry wood, one was as fat as a pig, and the third was well-proportioned, but his face was sallow, with fear written all over his face.
There was a faint singing sound in their ears, and the three people's bodies began to tremble in synchronization. They looked at the door of the basement. The iron door would be pushed open at any time, and the person would come in at any time.
"boom!"
The iron door was kicked open by someone outside. The door hit the wall behind and bounced back. The God of Death, who was already in a bad mood, chopped the iron door to pieces in a few seconds with his sickle.
The only woman who was locked up in the basement saw Huai Shan going crazy again, holding her head and screaming. The fat man next to her knelt down, "Wing Shan, the teacher is sorry for you, please spare the teacher, the teacher will never do it again."You dare, the teacher can't help it, we know it, but we can't do it." At the end of his sentence, he even started to cry.
Huaishan, who was at the door, was in front of the director in an instant. He dropped the sickle and knelt down, "Huaishan, the teacher is sorry for you. Please spare the teacher, wuwuwuwuwu." The same words were used by Huaishan.The weird emphasis was imitated, and the three of them looked at Huaishan like they were looking at monsters.
Huaishan cried at first, and finally laughed so much that he was shaking. The more he laughed, the more frightened the three of them became, until Huaishan was willing to stop. He threw his long black hair back and looked at Sun Shi, "Teacher, Wanmi likes you the most. He was put into the blender. Do you know? Let me imitate it for you."
Director Sun looked at Shining Shining, who no longer looked like a boy. His long hair, red eyes, sickle and red robe were exactly the same as the portrait of the Holy Lord. The only difference was the face. The Holy Lord's face was gentle and compassionate.But that's not the case with Shining now. He is contemptuous, indifferent, disdainful of frivolousness, and has a strong smell of blood.
He is the God of Death, but the terrible thing is that he is still shining.
Under the pale incandescent light, the three people imprisoned here are waiting in fear for the mockery and judgment of death.
Huai Shan grinned suddenly, his red eyes were so bright that it made people feel chilling. He gnawed at the steel cage where Sun Shi was with his fangs frantically. The steel bars were vulnerable to the bite of his teeth. Soon,Just twist and deform.
Sun Shi looked at the two rows of fangs that were like those possessed by wild beasts in the forest, held his head and screamed. He kept shouting for help, shouting to Twinkle, I was wrong.
Transparent saliva kept flowing out of Huaishan's mouth. He looked like a crazy beast. He frightened the three teachers.
"Tsk." Huaishan stopped suddenly, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked at Sun Shi impatiently, "Stop shouting, I'm just a bishop, how can I kill you? I'm not qualified."He only handed over some of the crimes committed by the three people to the archbishop. They were legally imprisoned in his jurisdiction. He fed these three sinners well, but they were still afraid?
Huai Shan's eyes slowly moved to the left. The woman's hair had fallen out because she lived in fear all day long.
Those ten children... they couldn't help it, but it was also a gift and an honor from the Pope. They should be very willing and even take the initiative to dedicate themselves to the Pope. She also loved those children very much.
She didn't expect that Shining would actually find him back. He stood in her room and said with a smile: "Teacher, everyone is waiting for you in hell."
The next day, before she could escape, she was arrested by the police department and charged with bribery. She was imprisoned in the bishop's basement and sentenced to one hundred years in prison.
She never imagined that the person who would judge her would be Winner.
The people who were tried together with her were the principal and grade director of the church school at the time - they were the only three insiders of that incident. They didn't say anything, they just looked at each other, and they knew why they were here.
Then, they met Twinkle together.
There is no chance that they will ever see the light of day again.
The names of the ten children were mentioned over and over again. They had already forgotten them, but now they were deeply engraved in their minds.
Twinkle didn't come to the basement many times, but every time she came, she was definitely in a bad mood and wanted to punish the three of them until they cried and became incontinent before she gave up.But it's just an evil move. Shining said he won't kill them.
But something was wrong with Twinkle today, he looked so excited that he wanted to execute them immediately.
Shan Nan had already fallen asleep, and there was a loud knock on the door downstairs. Not long after, Maliwei appeared outside Shan Nan's room, "Father, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. The priest is downstairs. He isI want to see you, it seems to be something very important."
Rabbits are people who are pregnant with flashes.
Shang Nanteng sat up from the bed. He didn't even have time to comb his hair and change clothes. Maliwei followed him and put a robe on him, and Shang Nan tightened the belt of the robe himself.
When he got downstairs, he saw Tu Fu who was restless. Tu Fu had something to say, so he glanced at Malivi, and Shannan immediately asked Malivi to step back.
When no one was around, Tu Fu immediately said: "Father, can you help me persuade the bishop? He is not in a good mood at the moment. When he is in a bad mood, he likes to torture prisoners." Of course Tu Fu could not treat those fewHe told the priest about his personal evil deeds, and usually he would let Winky do it. This was the bishop's right, but today it looked like Winky was going to torture three people to death, which was a right that the bishop did not have.He hopes that Twinkle can have a new life.
"I know you feel that you are not familiar with my bishop, but in my bishop's heart, I know some of his secrets, and you are his favorite person."
"Father, please reach out to my bishop."
Shang Nan almost ran towards the bishop's office building behind the main hall. The wind rushed into his collar and robe, and his hair and robe were blown up by the wind.
Walking in the dark passage, Shannan heard screams. There were men and women. The closer he got to the basement, the clearer the screams were. Just hearing them made people feel creepy.
Shan Nan remembered that not long ago he came to Huai Shan's office to ask the other party to help him perform the holy proclamation. The other party had blood stains on his body, and he must have just come up from the basement.
Standing at the door, Tu Fu blew out the candlestick and whispered: "The bishop is right there."
There was no door in the basement anymore. The door was chopped to pieces and fell off the wall. No need to guess, Shannan knew that it was Huai Shan who did it.
He looked into the basement. This area was larger than the basement of his priest's chapel, but there were only three people in Huaishan's basement. Their cages were now deformed, and they were covered with scythe cuts and cuts.Like the teeth marks left by wild animals.
At a glance, Shang Nan saw Huai Shan, who was playing with the cage by chopping it with a sickle. His hair was messy. Huai Shan's eyes were blood red and his face was full of excitement. When he got excited, he rushed forward, grabbed the cage and bit it wildly. Hearing the terrified screams of the prisoners in the cage,Screaming made him look even more excited.
Tu Fu beside him didn't know when he had quietly left, but there was a shadow on the ground, and Tu Fu was standing on the steps behind the wall.
Seeing Hua Shan like this, Shang Nan didn't feel scared at all. He even felt a sore nose. This shouldn't be Hua Shan. 14 On the way here, he handed Shang Nan the first-hand information he got.
A top student who has won all the honors in school, a young master from a wealthy family, a beautiful and elegant mother, a gentle and kind father, and lovely and loyal friends. He should have a bright future, and so will his family.——Huai Shen's family members were also executed completely, teaching them that they had reasonable reasons.
They were all dead, all of them, and Liu Huaishan was left alone in this purgatory-like world. Looking at the scarred Tumen, even though he was already the God of Death, he was still in pain.
"Huaishan?" Shannan called the other party softly.
When the black-haired young man heard Shang Nan's movements, he suddenly stopped. He raised his eyes and rolled his eyes. After confirming that it was Shang Nan, he wiped his face, straightened his clothes, and grabbed a few handfuls of hair irritably., "Father, why didn't you say anything when you came?" From his actions, you can actually see a bit of his discomfort with being exposed.
"Bishop, are you okay?" Shang Nan held his robe in his hand with his fingers. He was not afraid of Huaishan, but Huaishan was unpredictable and tended to do things that made him happy but others unhappy.
Huaishan kicked the iron cage angrily, and another burst of screams and cries immediately sounded from the basement. He resisted the urge to chop these people into pieces, and strode towards his priest with a sickle in hand.
Huai Shan looked menacing, his eyes were still blood-red, and the anger in his body had not yet disappeared. Shan Nan subconsciously took two steps back.
Tu Fu, who saw Shang Nan retreating, immediately wanted to go down and help - he thought that Shining's eyes were so red that even the priest was going to hurt him.
But in the blink of an eye, the priest's waist was grabbed, and the priest was taken back. His raised white hair followed closely, drawing several nervous arcs in the air.
Huai Shan grabbed Shan Nan into his arms and buried his face into Shan Nan's warm neck. The breath all over his body gradually became gentle. He answered Shan Nan's greeting just now in a low voice: "My priest, don't worry, Ivery good."
