Chapter 10

The next day, morning.

The sun rises, darkness and evil recede, and the earth returns to light.

The soul returning corpses that have raged all night are all returned to the sewer or other dark and cramped corners.

Lick the wound or aftertaste the aftertaste of last night's hunting, waiting for the next night.

Chen Gou left the jewelry store where he had curled up all night and came to the checkpoint at the boundary between Honggou district and Manhattan.

Due to the fall of the Red Hook area, the New York Security Committee sealed it off, and all people who want to go out need to undergo strict screening.

The way of screening is not complicated. The results can be obtained in a few seconds.

Just sweep the skin surface with a medical ultraviolet lamp. If there are no creeping strip worm marks, it proves that it has not been infected.

Otherwise, they will be caught on the spot, isolated and even destroyed.

Chen Gou passed safely soon.

Compared with the Red Hook District, Manhattan, which is still under human control, is obviously much more prosperous.

The rich people are still drunk.

It seems that all human beings have one thing in common - no tears without seeing the coffin.

Chen Gou inquired all the way and soon came to St. Benedict cathedral on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Of course, he doesn't remember the name of the church. There are many churches in Manhattan, but there is only one presided over by the cardinal.

The cardinal Paul inside knows the whereabouts of the falling light.

St. Benedict cathedral was built in the 19th century. The 1.5 square foot neogothic classic building is like a castle. It can be seen that the archbishop is quite good.

Chen Gou walked into the gate and directly handed the priest in charge of reception a gold ring found from the jewelry store last night and asked to see the Archbishop in person.

This proves that money can make the devil push the mill. This law works everywhere.

Practice has proved useful. Chen Gou secretly sealed it as "Chen's first law".

Chen Gou was soon led into the Archbishop's study and saw the Archbishop with a red hat, a black robe and a long red belt around his waist.

The Archbishop looked up from behind his desk, looked at the young Chen Gou, and lowered his head to write something: "child, if you want to repent, start now. I only have five minutes for you."

"If repentance is useful, why are the demons outside raging so far without seeing the holy light of God?" Chen Gouda sat down in the opposite chair and smiled.

English is the official language of the Holy See of canglan world, so there is no obstacle for Chen Gou to communicate with the archbishop.

The Archbishop looked up again, looked at him this time and said, "it seems that you are not here to repent, so tell me your real purpose."

"I need 'falling light'." Chen Gou gently tapped the smooth mahogany table with his fingers.

"The falling light is a very precious cultural relic. With all due respect, you don't seem to have enough money to exchange for it." The Archbishop glanced obliquely and pursed his mouth.

"What does your excellency mean by 'enough'?"

"Five million dollars worth of gold."

Chen Gou smiled and said, "I have something more precious than five million dollars of gold."

"For example?"

"Fulfill God's will and use the 'falling light' to destroy the blood clan outside."

"I have not received such a will from God... Please go back, sir. The mayor wants me to speak at tonight's charity dinner. I still have a speech to write."

Without speculation, the cardinal saw off the guests directly.

Chen Gou got up and left. When he came to the door, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Your Excellency, do you still fear God?"

The Archbishop looked ugly and did not answer.

Chen Gou didn't expect his answer and left.

Does he have five million dollars worth of gold?

No,

So Chen Gou either rob a vault or rob the cardinal.

But he's not going to choose either.

Robbery?

That's what a rough man can do.

Crime is also an art, especially legal crime.

He wants this dignified stick to offer the "falling light" on his own initiative!

Chen Gou spent the whole day in a coffee shop that was still open.

In the evening, the Archbishop left the church by car to attend the charity party held by the mayor.

In the dead of night, Chen Gou quietly slipped in through the back door of the church.

He brought a gift to the Archbishop - a blood worm in a sealed glass bottle.

He specially brought it from the Red Hook area. The guards at the checkpoint strictly checked the customs clearance people, but they couldn't search the luggage one by one.

From the beginning, Chen Gou expected that the Archbishop would not cooperate.

The church has no professional security and guard, and its defense is extremely lax. There is only one night watchman who is specially responsible for the night watch.

With Chen Gou's attribute, he used the way of throwing stones to lure the night watchman away from the mountain and touch the inside of the church.

In front of another desk in the Archbishop's study on the second floor, he found the priest who fell asleep on the table because he was too sleepy.

That is, the one who received his money during the day and promised to introduce him to the archbishop.

Chen Gou poured out the blood bug in the glass bottle and landed on the back of the priest's hand.

The blood bug sensed the blood flowing under the skin, immediately recovered from the "weak" state, squirmed excitedly, and drilled into the skin

The parasitism of blood insects will cause the "abnormal" growth of human body.

Until it finally turns into a soul returning corpse.

The process varies from person to person, usually within a week.

Chen Gou quietly pays attention to the priest every day.

He found that from the third day, he didn't show up and stayed closed under the pretext of illness.

He was obviously aware that he might have been infected. After all, newspapers and television reported everywhere every day, and his symptoms were clear when compared.

But he did not dare to speak out or ask for help.

He knows very well what happens to those infected people once they are found out.

He would rather hide in his room and pray and repent to God than be locked up as a monster.

Then he was tied to the hospital bed, filled with various medical instruments and became a test object until he was dissected after losing research value

As for so many people in the Holy See, why did Chen Gou choose him?

It's very simple. You have to do things when you receive the money!

On the evening of three days later, cardinal Paul was praying under the statue of Jesus crucified in the church.

Suddenly, a young priest who had just joined the post limped and hurriedly ran out of the side door with a frightened face.

"The bishop is bad, father Enoch, he, he..."

"What's the matter with father ino? Are you well?" Asked the bishop, soothing.

The thin young priest swallowed the water: "no, he... He was infected and just killed nonan with a disgusting tongue..."

The cardinal opened his eyes: "it's impossible. Ino has never been to the infected area. How could he be infected..."

He stopped before he finished, because father iNO, who had become a soul returning corpse, appeared from the side door with a seemingly staggering but actually ferocious pace and rushed over.

"Bishop, what shall we do? Enoch is crazy!"

The young priest wanted to continue to run away, but it was too late. He fell and hurt his leg just now. He didn't retreat as fast as the old cardinal.

The unique thick and long flesh tongue of the soul returning corpse was ejected from father eno's open mouthpiece, stabbed him in the throat like lightning, stung and stabbed him in, turned his eyes and couldn't fall down.

"Lord, save us, we are dead!"

"Lord, help us..."

At a critical juncture, the only thing the helpless Archbishop can do is turn around and pray to the statue of Jesus.

This is what he is best at and the only thing he has learned in his life.

When he prayed, his heart was already desperate.

He has served in the holy see for decades. Although he has awe of God in his heart, he has never seen a miracle from God.

At this time, it's just an emergency and random medical treatment.

But this time, the Lord really "appeared"!

"Sinner, do you deserve the Lord's forgiveness and redemption for your past actions?"

From behind the statue of Jesus came a majestic, hoarse voice.
