Roland stood by the window, watching what happened below the clock tower.He has good eyesight and can see everything that happens at night.At this moment, he stared at the cowboy who was out of tune with the surrounding environment, and his heart was full of shock.

Higher demons can almost always recognize a half-angel.The stronger they are, the more they can feel the aura that repels them from the half-angel.

When Roland met Louis for the first time, although there was a road and two walls between them, he immediately confirmed that the other party was a half-angel.Now, in Louis, his new companion, Roland also felt the aura that made him physically and mentally uncomfortable.

Roland didn't like this cowboy-dressed exorcist.He rejected guys who liked Louis, but he didn't like guys who hated or even tried to hurt Louis.His eyes narrowed dangerously as he saw the cowboy shoot Louis.It wasn't a mistake, he knew: the exorcist was careful, experienced at Louis' age, and the cowboy looked a few years older than Louis.It can be seen that this must be intentional.

"Although people with exorcist talent are purely aggressive, it doesn't mean you can hurt Louis at will." Roland muttered to himself as he watched the cowboy throw the demon's corpse at him.But then, he saw Louis shoot a series of demons with a crossbow - these demons were trying to fly over the cowboy's head.

Roland suddenly realized that "hurting" each other was probably the way those two people got along.This made him feel much better, because he knew that if Louis wanted to plot against someone, he would never let the other party take advantage of it.

Thinking of the half-angel status of the cowboy exorcist, Roland was a little worried.If it was half a month ago, he would have been delighted that he didn't have to sacrifice Louis, and would have directly dug out that guy's heart.But now it was different, he wasn't going to do something that would make Louis sad and hate himself.He didn't mind what God thought: he believed in Louis more than in God.

Roland decided to have a talk with Louis.When the sky became brighter and the first rays of morning light appeared, Roland went downstairs to look for Louis.But he soon discovered that this was not a good time to talk to Louis.

The rest of the exorcists west of Missouri arrived, a dozen or so—and none with a partner.Probably because they hadn't seen each other for a long time and they both grew up in the battle, these people didn't quarrel with each other as soon as they met in the legend, but just like ordinary old classmates, chatting friendly, shaking hands and hugging each other.Roland saw Louis pursing his lips, looking unhappy, but still hugging everyone who came in front of him.He smiled, feeling a little anxious.

Although it is difficult for demons to have love, they will have a strong possessive desire for what they want.No matter how much Roland imagines humans getting closer, the characteristics of a devil in his bones will be indelible for a while.Whenever he thinks about Louis, his brain seems to be cut in two: while thinking about locking up Louis and making him only his own, while thinking about respecting the other person.Now, he is tormented by these two very different ideas.

"The senior demon named Edmund has escaped." A deep voice sounded from behind Roland.

Roland was startled and looked back.Grant was standing behind him with a crossbow in hand, covered in blood, and the wound on the back of his hand was charred black by the fire, obviously burnt and sterilized after being bitten by a vampire demon. "Are you all right?" he asked.

"It's all minor injuries, please don't worry about it." Grant looked at Roland's face carefully. "You really look like that poser just now."

Roland smiled. "Really? That really surprised me. But I guess it's just a coincidence."

"Yes, it should be a coincidence. You'd better not go to Louis right now. These children haven't seen each other for a long time, let them exchange feelings." Grant nodded to Roland, then turned the corner and joined his students.

Roland smiled helplessly.Grant did have a strong intuition, and he might have guessed his original identity; but he was also a sympathetic clergyman, and instead of attacking himself, he prayed for himself.

Even so, Roland was still a little apprehensive.Grant and the others might tolerate a reformed half-demon walking with righteous people, but they would never allow this half-demon to abduct their favorite disciple.What's more, this is homosexuality rejected by the church.No matter how fast the United States innovates, some traditions will always be preserved.

On the other side, Louis was asking about the current situation of his companions, and all he got was good news.Among these people, most of the older ones are married and have children, and the younger girls have admirers, and their partners are all current partners.

No matter what weird misfits people live in, they'll find someone who fits them.Louis thought with relief.Even the girl with great strength and bad temper who once smashed a big hole in the wall during the exorcism has found a painter as a lover, and he no longer has to worry about other people's loneliness.

When everyone dispersed to rest, Louis found Roland.Instead of going back to the bell tower, they walked side by side on the street, passing through two rows of ruined walls. "I'm so happy for them! You know, a lot of exorcists die alone or alone, but you see, they've got company!"

"Including your western cowboy colleague?"

"Oh! This farmer is lucky!" Louis snorted coldly, his tone becoming a little aggrieved: "Tom not only got married early, but also married a lady who is very good at alchemy! She is studying How to make the family live forever. I guess, she will be able to do it soon. Last time I saw her, she had been able to extract the Philosopher's Stone from the fire. disappear."

"He's a half-angel." Roland said softly.

Louis stopped abruptly and looked at Roland.

Roland repeated it again. "Your colleague, Tom, is also a half-angel."

"Come with me." Louis pulled Roland into the alley.After making sure that no one was around, he suddenly hugged Roland tightly.This action was obviously unexpected, and Roland didn't recover for a long time.

This intimate hug lasted more than ten seconds. "I'm glad you'll tell me that." Letting go of Roland, Louis said, "You know, I don't even realize I'm a demi-angel, let alone see anyone else. I thought you'd hide from me ……I am sorry."

"I can feel it. You don't trust me very much." Roland's voice was a little lost.

Louis was convinced that the other party was pretending to be pitiful and tricking himself into softening his heart.You've been lying to me all your life, he thought. "After all you worked for satan. But we shouldn't talk about it anymore. Talk about Tom. He graduated years before me and met me when he came to Missouri to be a teacher. It's all right Strange, he's a likable guy, but he's so out of tune with me! It's like different gears, no matter how hard you try, they just don't snap together! We've even had fights so many times I can't count them. But I Gotta admit, he's a formidable guy, much better than me."

"He is older than you and has more experience." Roland comforted.

"Yes, and he's getting old, I really sympathize with him. By the way," Louis' expression suddenly became serious: "Your brother Edmund was beaten terribly by Mr. Grant, and he probably won't come again for a while. There are no demons left in Maplewood, but we are ordered to stay here and wait—an order from an Italian bishop."

"Cardinal? I thought the Holy See would not interfere with you, they have no such right." Roland frowned unhappily.He had never liked the Church, and he hated the European Vatican even more.

"Accordingly, the Holy See has no right to interfere. But the exorcists in the United States started very late. At the beginning, the Pope sent people to help. Therefore, all exorcists must obey the Holy See. Now, we have to stay here In a town full of ruins. I really want to know why."

"In my opinion, the Holy See is probably planning something dirty again. Don't rush to contradict me, dear Louis, think about what they have done. It is indeed different now than it was 200 years ago. The Church lost They lost their supreme authority and, naturally, lost their real power. Even with the development of society, their lofty status in the hearts of the people is also in jeopardy. 'Science' is replacing God and becoming the new god."

"God will not be replaced by anything." Louis finally couldn't help retorting: "Even if many people no longer believe in him, he will always exist. Even if the candles in the church are extinguished and there are few people below when the priest is preaching, he will always be there." It still exists. And we are proving him by destroying the devil!"

"Don't get excited, I didn't try to deny your belief!" Roland held Louis' hands and comforted him softly: "But you have to know that not all people in the church think like you. Some of them may I am more obsessed with the feeling of being worshiped by others, deeply worried about losing my authority status, and full of fear of the deserted future. If I want to open the gate of hell, but I can't catch the half-angel, then I will definitely learn from the clergy Acquired. A high-ranking, selfish clergyman . . . he will certainly help me."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Louis had to admit: "But what can they do in Europe? Come to the United States in person and take away the exorcist who is confirmed to be a half-angel on some ridiculous charge." Master, and then sacrifice to the devil? This is too much trouble. Moreover, they can look for half-angels in Europe, instead of running all the way to the United States."

"Maybe it's a coincidence, just like I met you. The number of half-angels is rare, but I have met two so far. Of course, I believe that there will be half-angels in Europe, and the people of the Holy See must also pass some Ways to recognize them. But do you think, since they need a 'miracle' to restore the prestige of the Holy See, will they harm the half-angels within the border?"

Louis pondered for a moment. "That guy Tom has always been flamboyant and flamboyant. In fact, the only half-angels I know so far are the two of us. If what you said is true, then one of us must be the one being targeted."

"Louis, you and your companions must be careful." Roland hesitated for a moment, and finally told all he knew: "Christianity has a beautiful interpretation of the existence of half-angels, but what I heard from my father is not very good Wonderful - real but not wonderful. Only those angels who are still pious at heart but not 'nice' become demi-angels. God injects their souls into ordinary babies and makes them forget everything about being an angel. Becoming a demi-angel, It is not so much a gift from God as a difficult experience. If they have endured hardships but still have a pure heart, then they will become angels again after death; but as I said before, half-angels were not in heaven before. If you are not well-behaved, you will be more likely to be tempted by demons when you come to the world."

Louis bowed his head in silence.Roland looked at him worriedly. "Louis, are you okay? You don't have to worry. You have always been so devout that you can even influence demons."

"No... I'm not worried, but flattered."

Yes, flattered.God not only sent me here to experience, but also gave me a second chance.I need to fix myself up.Of course, those who should be hated still have to be hated.
