Reborn Exorcist

"That hit just now was really powerful." Paul exclaimed, "You are too strict with yourself."

Louis glanced at him. "I have to. There are always people who put unsafe things around them for various purposes. I need to maintain their right to keep their lives and continue to die."

Paul suddenly realized that Louis was mocking himself.He blushed a little, but it wasn't noticeable because his skin was so dark.

People sometimes feel inferior and even resent God because they are ugly or poor.For this they will be agonizing over themselves and seeking God's forgiveness.At this time, the smiling priests will inevitably say: "The beauty of a person does not come from the appearance, but from the heart. A kind person must be beautiful."

From this perspective, Louis is very ugly.His chin is usually raised high, his sapphire-like eyes have no warmth, and his thin lips are always pursed meanly.He's usually unintentionally sarcastic, but his ability to embarrass others is simply gifted.

When Louis smiled at someone he was familiar with, the other party would definitely be very nervous, for fear of being run over or calculated by this bad guy.In fact, nervousness is purely asking for trouble.Even if they took precautions, they could not escape.Even so, Louis' friends still cared about him as much as he cared for them.

"No wonder you can't find a partner. But Louie, you can't always be like this. Exorcists are inherently lonely, and you are so... a little neurotic. Over the years, you will become cranky and vulnerable. Put it this way Maybe a little too much, but you have a tendency to do that now."

Louis stopped holding the knife.He straightened up, looking as if he was going to throw the knife or stab someone.But in reality, he's just slicing a tiny slice out of a pie.The porcelain plate was creaked by the blade. "Actually, I'm also thinking about a partner. But I won't look for it through the church. They recommend guys who like to preach, and I have to protect them. As you said, I need a quiet, brave man." man, he should..."

"Comforts you when you need it, not restrains you all the time, even though you may be biased in some ways."

Louis looked up at the speaker.The "English gentleman" sitting in the corner came up to him, and this gave him a better view of his face.The other party's slightly curly black hair was combed neatly, his green eyes made him look very energetic, and his mature face with deep contours gave people a sense of reliability.At this moment, the other party looked at him seriously and friendly.

If it was business as usual, Louis would probably ignore it.But today was a holiday, and, in a way, Louis was touched by that look. "What do you want from me?" he asked bluntly, and if he was not calm and polite, he would probably be regarded as rude.

As if not affected by Louis's bad attitude, the man smiled and bowed. "I want to walk with you."

Louis turned around and looked directly at him.The other party's familiar attitude and bold request surprised him, so that he was speechless for a while.He slowed himself down for a while. "I won't say yes. But if you don't mind, I'd love to ask, what gave you the idea to travel with the elusive exorcist?"

Lewis is not exaggerating. Exorcists do keep most ordinary people at arm's length.They are needed to ward off demons and evil spirits, but they are also feared: both what they touch and their own gloomy qualities terrify the faint of heart.

"As you know, I'm a fiction writer. Recently I've been thinking about writing a book about you guys. People are curious about the lives of exorcists. But I don't know much about it and need to ask others." Handsome The man is a little embarrassed. "I know it's going to bother you. But I can help, not drag you down. You need a partner and I need an exorcist. Why not try?"

"Maybe he can really help you." A guy walked by with a wine barrel and a sausage. "I've read Roland's book, it's heartwarming. You should too, since you're a nasty brat."

"Try to provoke me again, and I'll throw you into the Mississippi River. You know I will." Louis turned his head: "Roland?"

The man looked at him with a smile, the tenderness in his eyes could drown people. "And you are Louis."

"Yes, nice to meet you. Happy Thanksgiving, I wish you the warmth of a family reunion here." Louis nodded, and then pushed the dinner plate to the center of the table.This heralds the end of the meal.

"Then that means you agree?"

"No, that means you're rejected. I said I wouldn't, did you forget?" Luis was about to get up when Paul kicked him in the knee.Louis sat down again; he knew that the other party had something to say to him.

"I have to go get the drinks for these guys, or they'll overturn the table." Paul stood up, and when he walked past Louis, he whispered in his ear: "I said buddy, this guy looks like a man Dude with a lot of money. The family you're staying with is a nest of vampires who've sucked your money dry. Why don't you consider befriending a rich guy? I think he's being sincere."

Louis smiled, turned his head suddenly, and said sincerely: "When I was on vacation in England, I saw our president, Mr. Hayes, dancing on the top of Buckingham Palace, surrounded by beautiful dancers from Hawaii in grass skirts. "

Paul froze for a long time.He asked puzzledly, "What does that mean?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to tell you that words spoken sincerely can be nonsense. I wish you a pleasant evening." Louis got up and saw Roland take a step back to make way for himself, with a decent smile on his face, As if Louis' refusal hadn't made him feel bad.With such an attitude, even Louis would blush. "I'm sorry. Maybe you should find someone else. From what I've seen, I'm very difficult."

"Don't say that. Those who guard people and churches must be good. I will visit you again until you change your mind."

Louis shrugged and walked away.He admitted that Roland looked pleasing (especially women), which was a lot of convenience for him.But for this man, in addition to the long-standing prejudice, he also has deeper worries.

He still remembered the time he got along with that guy in his previous life.The other party and Anna appeared in front of him as husband and wife.Exorcists grow in battle, and he is no exception; although he kills not demons but exorcists, he still has growing sentience.He quickly sensed that something was wrong with Anna, but that guy... he didn't notice anything.

Before the guy showed his horns and wings, Louis believed that the guy was human, and even worried that Anna would hurt him.Obviously, some demons cannot be perceived by the exorcist.This realization made him unable to trust anyone, let alone find a partner who needed to be honest with each other.

About to push open the wooden door and walk into the cold wind, Louis glanced back.Roland was talking to Paul, looking at his lips as if he was asking for his address.

Louis couldn't help smiling.It would be funny if the guy went to Old John's.That couple would terrify the polite fellow, and Suzie would charm him with her pitiful eyes.In this way, you will be quiet.

Early the next morning, Louis set foot on the path leading to the top of the hill to the church.The man he feared most, the priest who had saved him, was there.

The morning light shone through the cracks in the leaves on Louis's face.He narrowed his eyes contentedly.How much he feared and loathed the sun in his previous life, how much he cherishes it in this life.

Louis' good mood ended when he was about to step into the church gate.He straightened his collar, which he had tidied countless times, and left the dirt on his shoes outside the door.Douglas was tense and reserved every time he met alone.

After getting along as a "teacher and student", Louis no longer regards each other as a god of light.Even, in some respects, he was disappointed with Douglas.

At the beginning of his rebirth, Louis had always regarded the other party as a lighthouse in the dark, an angel who voluntarily went to hell to save others.However, if someone said that to him now, he would definitely slap him in the face.Douglas, like other clergy, was rigid and uninteresting, with few and boring hobbies, and he was strict with him.

There is clearly a gulf between imagination and reality.It's like you've always admired the choirleader as an innocent angel, but after getting to know him, the angel puts his arm around your shoulder and says, "Hey buddy, where are we going whoring tonight?"

How sad.

Douglas had finished his morning prayers and turned around.He was wearing a black priest's robe, with a simple cross hanging around his neck.His forehead was deeply lined with frequent frowning, which made him look much older than he really was, a man who was not yet thirty but looked like he was in his late forties.

"What happened in the past six months? You look much older." Louis walked through the aisle formed by two rows of benches.

"Because someone worried me. When he made a mistake, I had to atone for his rashness and my own connivance." Unlike the kindness most of the time, the pastor was harsh and cold when facing Louis. "I can't believe it. You're an adult with self-control, but you're going to destroy the facilities in the church! And it's just because you don't have a partner!"

"What's worse, even if I have such poor self-control, I still don't accept anyone as a partner." Louis sighed: "If we continue to discuss this cycle, we can talk about it all day. I know I'm wrong, and I've done it Apologize to those people. What's new this time?"

Douglas stared at Louis with cold eyes, but did not continue to criticize him.He took out an envelope. "A single mother who is terrified by her daughter's abnormality, this is the address. Also, there have been fires in this area for no apparent reason lately."

And everyone knows how humid Missouri is in late fall.Louis thought for a moment. "Is it a dragon or something like that?"

"According to past experience, it should be. It is your task to find out the cause and solve it."

"I see. What about the rest? It's not like you to just give me two things to do."

"As an exorcist, you must put protecting people and expelling demons first. But it's the end of November, and no matter what your duties are, I don't want you to spend Christmas on the run." Douglas' expression softened. "You are my dearest student and child. I am very proud of the fact that you aspired to be an exorcist in your childhood, and you should be proud of it too."

"Let's not talk about pride or not, but this choice is extremely correct." Lewis sighed.He watched the other party reverently back behind the altar.

In Louis's eyes, Douglas has all kinds of problems, and he is far away from a saint; but he always remembers that this man saved him when he was helpless, which is enough to make him look up to him like the Holy Spirit up.

Get some decent weapons first, then move quickly.Louis thought to himself, but the moment he turned around, his brain stopped functioning for a moment.Roland was wearing a black thick woolen coat and was sitting in the last row of pews in the church, looking at him with a smile.

Louis walked over. "Why don't you pray?"

"I don't believe in God. I came here just to get closer to the light." Roland replied softly, "I came to you. As I said before, I will stick to it until you change your mind."
