messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 100 Death Without Pain

In just a few days, many people died in the fog city, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

But no one mourns because people are used to it.The city is about to change, and the people in it are aware of it.

On the second street of the city of fog, there is a small church, a very small church. There is only one priest in the church, and people call him the old priest.

Today's Lawrence didn't stay at the police station, nor did he patrol. He came to this church early, and he didn't wear the police uniform he always wears, but was dressed in black.

He sat on a pew in the church, facing the murals on the high wall of the church, tightly closed his lips, and remained silent.

On the mural, the holy Father opens his arms to the world and embraces everything.

Lawrence looked at the mural for a long time, opened his mouth slightly, and said silently.

"My kind father, I have committed an unforgivable sin, but how can I repent?"

This was his first prayer, and he didn't ask for forgiveness, because he knew his sin was unforgivable.

He knew that after today everything should be settled.

He asked Chu to come here to meet him after completing the task.

As for why he was in the church, maybe it was because he felt that this place was more suitable for confessing his sins.

A day ago, he went to the municipal government of the Fog City and asked the mayor to reorganize the Fog City Police Department and increase the number of police officers.

The negotiation process went smoothly. He just walked in, made a request, and then walked out. The cowardly mayor didn't dare to refuse his request. After all, he still has the name of a bloody police officer.

As for the aftermath, he handed it over to an old friend of his, and he believed that he would handle it well.

He has arranged everything. After those forces are removed, the city of fog should change. A new system will be established here, and he has also completed the kind of justice he insisted on in his heart.

Finally, he came here to wait for the first come to take away his sins.

He knew that what he did was sinful, and he said it was for the city, but in fact, it was just to satisfy his own selfish desires.

So he waited quietly, waiting for Chu to arrive.

Lawrence thought about the way to take away the evil, maybe killing himself, maybe taking himself somewhere to be punished, maybe letting his soul be tortured.

In short, no matter what a guy like Chu does, he will not be surprised.

The only thing Lawrence didn't think about was that he would only take away his sins at first, because in his opinion, everything needs a price, and his sins are not the price.

He waited for the first to kill him, or punish him, this is his confession, and he believes that this is also the will of the heavenly father.

The old priest stood in the confessional, reading his confession silently, without hearing Lawrence's confession.

His hearing is very bad, and he has been unable to hear the confessions of the residents of the Fog City long ago.So he always read the confession of forgiveness blindly, forgiving the sins he couldn't hear.

After an unknown amount of time, Lawrence felt someone standing behind him.

He didn't look back, because Chu was the only one who would appear by his side like this.

"Mission accomplished?" Lawrence asked.

He found out most of the underground forces in the city through Jack, and the task he gave Chu Chu was to deal with all these forces, and the remaining ones were nothing to be afraid of.

"Yeah." Standing behind Lawrence, Chu nodded.

She killed a lot of people these days, which made her voice sound even deeper and hoarse.

"Phew." Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back on the pew in the church, and said with a faint smile.

"That's good."

Then, he fell silent, staring at the murals in front of the church in a daze.

"My dad always took me to church when I was little."

With a look of reminiscence in his eyes, he narrated softly: "He said that as long as a person is devout enough, God will forgive all his sins."

"But it's wrong." Lawrence touched his pocket and took out his cigarettes and lighter from it.

"Whoever made a mistake should be punished."

As he spoke, he put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a flame.

"When I finish smoking this cigarette, take away my sins, this is the price I should pay."

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled the smoke, and said to Chu behind him with a smile.

"I know you don't like the smell of smoke, but this is the last time, just bear with it."

After smoking this cigarette, whether it is death or anything, he will face it.

But Lawrence was wrong, he didn't have to face anything at all, because someone else would face it for him.

"There is still one case that has not been completed, and I cannot take away your sins."

Behind him, Chu finally said the first sentence aloud.

Lawrence froze for a moment, the case, is there any case that has not been completed?

Chu took out a folder from his back and handed it to Lawrence, which she just took out from the police station on the way.

She had already made this plan.

Lawrence took the file in the first hand and opened it. There was indeed an unfinished case inside.

A case sent by Jack's children to capture the murderer in the Fog City.

"What do you mean?" Lawrence was a little confused.

"Catch me."

In the church, Chu stood between the pews, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then, let them see you kill me. At that time, I will be able to take away your sins."

In this way, the greatest evil that this city has produced can be regarded as an end.

There was silence in the church.

a long time.

Lawrence thought about all the answers earlier, but he still didn't think about the current situation.

He blankly drank the cigarette in his mouth.

"You will die." This middle-aged man was so dazed for the first time.

"I won't die." Chu just shook his head calmly.

"Then, you will also feel the pain, won't you?" Lawrence looked at Chu, as if trying to find a little hesitation in Chu's eyes.

But in Chu's eyes, there was only blackness like a deep valley, and he couldn't see any other expressions.

"I don't feel any pain either." Chu said simply, expounding the fact flatly that she no longer felt pain.

She has experienced torture countless times more painful than death, so she can face death more calmly than anyone else in this world.

"So kill me." She wouldn't feel any pain about it.

Under the mural of the Father, the messenger spoke to the angry justice.

In the confession of the priest who could not hear the sin, the colorful murals were illuminated by light.

The justice who hated the world finally understood that the messenger really came to take away his sins and to redeem him.
