[Hunter] Lydia's Life Story I

Chapter 9 Faith on Meteor Street

The morning of this day still starts with the morning class.

The spacious praying room is the most magnificent and well-preserved building in the whole church. The high raised vault is tens of meters high. The sunlight penetrates the surrounding stained glass, and the floating golden fine dust peacefully and slowly Ups and downs, sacred and solemn.

I sat in the second-to-last row of the church, and the pews under my buttocks were mottled and peeled off, polished to a smooth surface.The eyes are full of colorful heads, and there are more than 200 children of different heights, but there is no noisy voice.The owner of the nursery, Aunt Laia, stood at the front as usual, with a kind smile on her thin and wrinkled face, holding her old Bible in her hand.

Yes, the "Bible", a religion similar to the memories of previous lives, intentional or unintentional coincidences, there are legends from the first century, angels with white wings, demons that lead people to fall, and gods... who love the world.

Sister Laia led her young believers to start reciting the contents of the Bible. Her voice was hoarse, but soft, full of religious compassion and generosity. More than 200 people spoke after her. Although everyone's voice was not loud, when they came together and echoed under the pointed dome, it looked majestic.

As a mute, of course I don't have to speak.Not intending to look pious at all, I looked around boredly, my fingers knocked out all kinds of messy fast rhythms on my knees, like nails growing on my buttocks.

"...enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter by it; but narrow is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life, and those who find it Also less."

Kuroro was sitting next to me, his eyes were closed, his hands were clasped on his knees, and he looked devout.He hangs his head, his soft bangs hang on the bridge of his nose, and his long eyelashes hang down like butterfly wings. He really looks like a pure and innocent little angel.

...I feel bad all over.

Kuroro and I complained more than once about the daily morning classes in the nursery school.Maybe it's because I lack faith by nature. The overly solemn atmosphere of the prayer room always makes me uneasy, like getting up groggy after oversleeping, or drinking too much coffee at midnight, that feeling, Similar to flustered, and a little nauseous.Whenever the surroundings are too oppressive and religious, I want to jump up and yell, tear something apart, break away from something.

I actually don't see the point of running the nursery on Meteor Street like a real church, but that's beside the point.If you need to finish the morning class first before distributing water and food, then go to the morning class, it doesn't matter.But I don't need faith, I have to think rebelliously every day, even when I was in the most desperate time on Meteor Street, I never expected God to save me.

If there is a God, there should be no Meteor Street.Kurolo once said so.I feel that compared to my indifference and rejection, his attitude towards God is more like the hatred he once believed in but was severely betrayed.Of course I haven't inquired about the story, digging people's scars is not a good habit.I will only say sarcastic remarks when Kuroro occasionally loses control of his emotions: Since there can be hell, why can't there be Meteor Street?

According to the usual experience, the morning class lasts for an hour.But today is a little different.Halfway through the morning class, the closed door behind me was pushed open.The two heavy wooden doors made an overwhelmed "creak" sound, and the bright morning light poured in from the wide open door.People in the room looked out the door one after another.

I turned my head, the dazzling sunlight formed a world of pure light, and I could only see one black figure, slender and tall.

The person came against the light and walked into the dim interior of the church. I saw her clearly.It's a woman, a very clean woman.Of course it is beautiful, but the most important thing is cleanliness.Brand new dress, cumbersome skirt covered with lace, cool long black hair, big cat eyes, exquisite facial features, the whole person exudes a sharp and sharp feeling.

I think here clean can often be equated with powerful.

Really desirable.

The woman paused at the door, then turned to us and sat quietly on the bench in the last row.The whole row happened to be empty, right behind me.

In the front, Aunt Laia seemed not to have noticed the movement here, and continued to read her "Bible" without changing her tone.

The morning class was still going on, and the arrival of the woman in a long skirt behind her did not cause any splashes.She sat quietly on the bench, chanting along with everyone in a low voice, like an ordinary morning class attendant.

No kidding, I've been here for two months and I've never seen a foreign visitor.An old friend of Aunt Leia's?Or an enemy?I was too idle, sitting there thinking about it.

Unusual time always passes quickly, and today's morning class is not as long as usual.Aunt Laia closed the book in her hand, "This is the end of today's morning class, everyone can leave."

After she finished speaking, I felt the woman sitting in the last row behind me calmly stand up and walk towards Aunt Leia.She walked slowly, looking left and right like nostalgia, and her eyes passed over 200 children watching her, just like the bench under us.Aunt Laia stood under the huge cross at the end of the room, holding the book in her hand, watching her approach quietly.

"Children, let's go eat." Aunt Laia said suddenly.

So the people in front stood up one after another, and left in a messy and orderly manner.

Kuroro and I dawdled for a while, and the crowd in front had already rushed to the door, so we naturally had to wait a little longer.

When the children were almost gone and the grand prayer room became empty again, I heard the woman say, "Mother, the church is still the same after all these years."

"It's true that many years have passed for you, but for me, it's the same as yesterday." Aunt Laia's attitude was gentle and kind.

"Thinking about the days in the nursery now, it's the same as in my previous life." The woman sighed and smiled.

"Are you here to say goodbye to me, Kiju."

"Yes, Mammy."

"To beat the enemy?"

"Yes."

Kurollo and I walked slowly towards the door, listening to their conversation with our ears up.

"It's a good place to beat the enemy, but the Elder's House doesn't want to let people go?"

"Ah, it's not up to them."

Leaving the prayer room, the bright sunlight made me close my eyes involuntarily.Today is actually sunny again, which is so rare.

Exiting the prayer room is facing a cloister. On one side of the cloister is a spacious courtyard surrounded by collapsed or upright stone pillars and sculptures, and the ground is paved with flat stone slabs.This is where Kurolo and I secretly took stomach medicine that night, and it is also where breakfast and lunch are distributed every day.

At this time, huge bamboo baskets and plastic buckets were placed on the waist-high stone foundation on the side of the prayer room, from which Margaret and Laura, the only staff in the nursery, were distributing water and food to the children in front of them.There was a long queue in front of them, and the older children who were kicked out of the feeding queue over the age of six had already dispersed into the mountains of garbage outside, and all the children under the age of six were gathered here.

I poked my head to look at the crowded courtyard, and then at the other side of the corridor that was empty. I couldn't help but pull Kurolo, turned my back to the crowd, and whispered, "Say, we don't Will you be found if you go?"

"What do you want?" Kuroro squinted at me.

I pointed to the prayer room behind me like a thief, and murmured: "I'm curious..." I was ashamed to say it, curiosity killed the cat, but I was eager to move, but I couldn't help myself, so I went back and waited in line as usual time to eat.

Kuroro turned to look at the courtyard, everyone was busy with their own business, no one noticed us.His eyes flickered, and he whispered: "Let's go." So the two of us ran down the corridor and rushed to the other side of the prayer room facing the courtyard.In addition to the high stone foundation of the prayer room on this side, there is a stone wall with a path wide enough for one person in the middle.

Sticking my back to the stone base like a thief, I couldn't help but blushed with excitement.Look at Kurolo, he pretended to despise me, but his childish excitement and anticipation leaked out of his eyes.I don't know why, but I was so happy as if I had done something bad in my heart, I couldn't help but dance around in place, and then dragged Kuroro along the path from this end to the other end of the prayer room in a hurry.

The shape of the praying room is somewhat long and narrow. The door opens at one narrow end. Every time Aunt Laia stands at the other end, the one with the cross hanging is at the other end. On both sides of the other end, there is a small side door respectively. It should be for the original priests to enter and exit.

But now, bypassing the inaccessible side wall of the prayer room, Kuroro and I are lying on the wall outside the small door on this side, secretly peeking into the dark room through the gap of the wooden door, and listening .

"Mommy, I left Meteor Street this time, and I won't come back if I don't have to," the woman said.

"That's fine, my child, Meteor Street is not a good place after all." Sister Leia said gently, "You came back this time not just to bid farewell to me, right?"

"It's still Mammy who understands me!" The woman giggled and said, "Before I leave Meteor Street, I have one more wish to make—to kill you!" She said at the end, her voice suddenly changed from leisurely to It became sharp, almost screaming, and a majestic and malicious coercion suddenly spread!

Through the dim light in the prayer room, I could only see the woman suddenly burst into the air without any warning, the cumbersome skirt did not hinder her agility at all, and there was a distance of two or three people between the two. At this moment, with just a blink of an eye, she had already leapt directly above Aunt Laia, stretched out the five fingers of her right hand to form sharp claws, and stabbed straight at the top of Aunt Laia's head!

Fuck!Nine Yin White Bone Claws!

... At a time like this, please beg for unknown words not to appear!

At this time, Kuroro, who was beside Xu, saw that the opportunity was not good, and grabbed my arm and wanted to leave.I was watching it wonderfully, and ignored it for a while.Chrollo was probably in a hurry, so he ruthlessly grabbed my collar.I was staggered by him, and when I lost my gaze, when I regained my perspective, Aunt Laia had already responded!She raised her hand holding the "Bible" calmly, slowly and quickly over her head, and the thick book cover precisely supported the woman's sharp claws that were about to be inserted into her head at the very moment. The two intersected, and there was a sharp sound similar to the intersection of weapons!

Fuck!Aunt Laia turned out to be a hidden master!

Not surprised, the woman stepped back quickly, folded her arms and stood up, laughing loudly: "Okay, Mammy didn't disappoint me! It's just Mammy, you have to be careful! If you lose, it's true!" You'll die!" Saying this, she changed her move and attacked again, Aunt Laia's expression remained unchanged, and she took all of them.The two "ping pong" sounded, and dozens of moves had been passed in an instant. They tossed and turned in the narrow and narrow room, leaving only phantoms at such a fast speed.

I blinked my sour eyes, and then I remembered the business. I turned to look at Ku Luoluo, wondering if we should withdraw first, so as not to catch fire at the city gate and harm the fish in the pond. up...

Fuck!Forgive me for the third swearing today, because that guy Kurolo, he, he's actually gone!

he!Home!Of course!leave!Down!I!run!up!

Ha ha.

I looked back at the heated fight in the prayer room, gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, and ran away too.I rushed towards the way I came from before, looking for the figure of that deserter Kuroro - that traitor, he didn't call me when he ran away!

Before I could take two steps, I heard the woman's voice from behind: "Let's go out and fight!"

Fuck, blah, blah, blah!

I fell forward with somersaults, managed to get my legs straight, and ran out with all my might.There was a sound of "Boom!" soon after, and I looked back in a hurry, only to see two wrestling figures wrapped in a cloud of dust, smashing the side door that I was lying on my stomach to peek at just now!I turned my head quickly, and Sa Yazi started running again—the two men had already hit the stone wall beside the path, as long as they lowered their heads, wouldn't they see me!

I buried my head and rushed forward, ran a dozen more steps, stumbled, and was thrown out of the air!I fell heavily on the ground and fell into the mud. I got up and looked back. The culprit who tripped me turned out to be a person who fell on the ground!

My first reaction was to be taken aback, and then I was relieved when I saw it again—it wasn’t Kurolo—that person was also a five or six-year-old child with gray hair, lying face down on the ground, in pain Curled up, the whole body twitched a few times from time to time, it seemed that he was still alive.I looked at the traces behind him again, good guy, this guy didn't know where he was hiding before, it looked like he was still crawling on the ground for a while!

There was no time to meddle in his business, I jumped up like a light on my back, and ran away in a puff of smoke.
