Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 714 The Priest in Prison
substitute? !
Could it be because of that pendant? !

Lu Ye reacted immediately.

He looked at the palm of his hand, the wound he had been punctured before had healed.

Without any hesitation, Lu Ye immediately came to the corner of the monitoring area, bought the panacea, and gave himself a shot so that he could survive the virus.

After the liquid entered the body, the symptoms of fever and dizziness began to subside immediately.

However, Lu Ye didn't notice anything strange about his body, nor could he see his own substitute...

Lu Ye took out the small stone and looked at it carefully.

So it makes sense, Jotaro Kujo gave this thing to Xu Lun Kujo, probably to help her awaken her double to deal with the situation in the prison, right?

Although Xiaobai said before that things like substitutes can be passed on through blood, but this statement is not absolute. Sometimes children born to substitute messengers may not necessarily have substitutes.

But the children of substitute messengers have an advantage, that is, if they have the opportunity to obtain substitutes during their growth, such as getting the "arrow", then these people will not be killed by the virus, because they more or less inherit parental qualifications.

But Lu Ye still couldn't figure out how this thing got into Ames' hands.

Before being convicted, people in the detention center can legally obtain items sent by relatives and others, and they can be delivered to prisoners after they are checked for compliance.

Ames picked up the necklace from the lock in the detention center.

That is to say, the item was not sent to the wrong place, it was indeed in the hands of Xu Lun at first, but for some reason it ended up in the hands of Aimes?
I can't figure it out...

But Lu Ye thought about it, and decided to find a chance to return the stone fragments to Xu Lun.

A person can only have a "stand-in" once, and it would be futile to stick it on himself. It is better to give it back to others. After all, this is a self-protection method left by a father to his daughter.

Lu Ye wasn't worried that Kujo Jotaro was a bad guy.

He didn't judge from his appearance, he was not such a superficial person.

Kujo Jotaro specially gave this pendant to Xu Lun, so he is probably a stand-in messenger himself.

Not only that, after his daughter has the aptitude to be an awakening substitute messenger and has mastered the necessary items for an awakening substitute, Jotaro still did not allow his daughter to awaken a substitute in her life before the age of 19, which is enough to show his concern for his daughter.

The stand-in has a unique stand-in ability, and this ability is exclusive, just like Qiao Luno and Mista that Lu Ye met before, both of them have their own stand-in abilities.

The former seems to be able to rewrite certain rules, making it impossible for people to achieve the desired "reality", while the latter seems to be able to manipulate bullets and make a 180-degree turn of the bullet.

As for the Italian chef Giorno mentioned in Morioh Town, Japan, although his stand-in ability cannot be used in combat, he can heal people's injuries and illnesses through delicious cooking!
For the vast majority of people in the world, having their own exclusive superpower is a good thing.

But Xiaobai said that substitute messengers will attract each other.

Because of the fate in the dark, the stand-in messengers will meet together.

This kind of encounter may be a good thing, which will lead to a friendship or love, but at the same time, it may also invite fierce enemies and bring disasters to oneself.

That's why Jotaro chose not to let his daughter awaken as a substitute.

However, he has to choose to do so now, because his daughter is in prison, which is no longer a place that a father's harbor can touch at will.

Until the end of today's meeting time, Lu Ye did not find anything unusual.

The meeting room was closed shortly thereafter.

Lu Ye could only leave.

Although the movement of prison guards in the prison is free, this is a prison after all, and there are strict management disciplines.

For example, men's prisons, women's prisons, general control buildings, laundry rooms, factory buildings and other buildings are more or less connected by passages. Usually, laundry rooms and medical buildings are open during the day, but in the evening, the activity time ends. These passages are immediately closed, and the cold and closely spaced iron fences only allow rats to pass through. ,

These are all things that Lu Ye saw on the brochures in the front hall of the detention center when he "joined the job" before. The new prison guards here also need training, because the people who come here are all graduates of the American police academy by default. So there is no formal training, a newcomer only needs to be guided by the old man for a few days, and spend a lot of time in the duty room to basically understand everything.

Of course, there is still a process similar to the "entry manual". Although basically no one reads it, it is just right for an imposter like Lu Ye.

After leaving, Lu Ye rushed to the nearest duty room without stopping.

Although you can't go to the meeting room, but the meeting room is monitored, and the duty room should be able to see the situation in the meeting room.

On the way to the duty room, Lu Ye suddenly heard footsteps coming from around the corner.

At this point, the passage door will be closed soon. If you don't go inside, you will go to the public area outside the prison.

Lu Ye was a little curious, he took a few steps towards the outside, slowed down, and then a black figure walked out around the corner.

After seeing the figure clearly, Lu Ye was stunned.

"Father...?"

Appearing in Lu Ye's vision was a brown-skinned man wearing a "student black robe". The reason why Lu Ye thought he was a priest was because the black robe on the man was worn by Catholic priests. A long black robe shaped like a trench coat.

The priest would appear in the prison, which made Lu Ye a little strange.

But thinking of the map he had seen before, Lu Ye had no doubts.

After all, there is a chapel in the public area of ​​the "Green Dolphin Prison".

Strictly speaking, it would be more rigorous to call priests working in prisons "teachers".Pedagogues will fight for the right to parole for some criminals based on their performance, so they are a highly respected existence in prisons.

Lu Ye took a rough look. The man in front of him was about 40 years old. He had brown skin and eyes, and his short white hair was cut like an inch, like a plowed field...

Lu Ye felt that he still couldn't appreciate the aesthetics of this world in a short time.

As if sensing Lu Ye's gaze, the other party also looked over.

"You are... I haven't seen you before."

The priest spoke, with a sense of stability in his voice.

"Ah... hello, I'm the new prison guard today, and I'm going back to the duty room."

The priest suddenly changed direction, walked towards Lu Ye, and then took a closer look at Lu Ye, like a zoologist carefully observing a new species of insect, or like a snake entwined to size up its prey.

"Father, that... What are you doing?" Lu Ye stood still.

"Do what you did to me, my name is Enrique Pucci," the priest said slowly, "you are watching me, why?"

"There is no other reason, it's just curiosity." Lu Ye said, "Because I had never heard of priests in the prison before I came here. Although I saw the chapel, I thought it was just for prisoners It's just a prayer ceremony."

Hearing this, Puqi stopped looking at Lu Ye, and took two steps back to the normal distance for talking.

"Do you believe in God?" Pucci asked.

"No, I'm not religious."

"Really, then it's understandable. You said just now that the chapel is for the prisoners to pray. This is true, but God needs servants to convey His will. A chapel without clergy is just a place where believers wantonly pray." A humble hut to give vent to one's inner desires..."

"What do you want to gain, what do you want to pray for, what do you want to atone for sin...everything is nothing more than people's desire for their own inner desires, so they need priests to regulate and guide them, do you understand?"

"That is to say, priests are very important, but priest, you haven't thought about it. Although you say that priests are the spokespersons of God, priests are also human beings. It's impossible that they don't have any other thoughts, right?"

After hearing this, Puqi was silent for a moment and said, "Suppose, later on, you were hit in the face by a broom on the way to the duty room, what would you do?"

"Huh?" Although he didn't quite understand why the priest asked this question, Lu Ye still answered, "Of course I will avoid it."

"Of course," Pucci said, "you will go to something beneficial when you encounter it, and you will avoid it if you encounter danger... This is human nature, but some things can't be changed anyway, just like It was the apple that fell from the tree and it would hit Newton on the head, which is inevitable for anyone."

"You mean...gravity?"

Pucci said: "If I say that you will fall hard in front of the chapel tomorrow, then you will probably choose not to go to the chapel, or pay extra attention to your feet, but after all, some things in this world are What cannot be changed is just like the ubiquitous gravity, so is fate. A person cannot penetrate his own destiny, cannot determine his own birth, nor can he determine his gender. For the poor living in the slums, eating all Wheat bread is happiness, but for rich people living in CBD, eating whole wheat bread may be a kind of torture, so what is happiness and what is misfortune?"

Lu Ye was silent.

On the one hand, he was left speechless by the guy in front of him, and on the other hand, he felt that he had met a magic stick.

gravity?

fate?

Would you like to listen to what you are saying?
"You just asked me if the clergy have selfishness, yes, but it seems... you are not interested."

"Sorry, I don't know anything about theology, and I'm not really interested."

"Really?" Puqi stretched out his hand and looked down at his watch, "It's getting late, I should go... What's your name?"

"Lu Ye."

"I remember."

After speaking, the priest turned and walked away.

Lu Ye also continued to move forward, but when he turned the corner, he suddenly stepped on a broom who did not know who put it here, and the thick wooden stick of the broom was thrown directly at Lu Ye's face, but this speed For Lu Ye, it was still possible to win.

He grabbed the broom and spared a blow to the face.

Actually put the broom in the corner... Who on earth did such a vile thing?

After that, Lu Ye rushed to the duty room.

Pretending to be a newcomer to curry favor with seniors, Lu Ye took the initiative to take over the job of monitoring the monitor.

There were still no signs in the meeting room.

The remaining wave of prison guards in the duty room were chatting and blowing water. ,

"Hey, do you know that a group of prisoners will be sent to prison tonight?"

"You are sick, doesn't this kind of thing happen every day?"

"Can you listen to me? During the period when the prisoner was sent to the prison, a strange thing happened. You know the empty Xu Lun. He hit someone with a car and died while the victim was still alive. The one who threw the corpse..."

"Ah, I remember, it seems to have been sentenced to 15 years?"

"That's right, that's the one. I heard that her defense lawyer seemed to have died in a car accident after the trial."

"So outrageous?"

The prison guards started discussing in a hurry, and Lu Ye also noticed it.

Xu Lun's defense lawyer died, or the day after her trial?

However, at this moment, Lu Ye suddenly saw a looming black smoke, right in front of the monitor, it was floating there quietly, without moving, just swaying slightly.

"This smoke...is not the smoke produced after the display screen was burned, it just floated there, just floated there! Appeared out of thin air!"

Realizing this, Lu Ye felt a little nervous.

Substitute...Maybe this is a substitute...

In order to prove his thoughts, Lu Ye found a prison guard who was drinking coffee not far away.

"Excuse me, is there some noise on the screen of that monitor, can I trouble you to go and have a look?"

That's right, ordinary people can't see the double.

The prison guard's reaction can help him determine what it is. This black smoke is right in front of the monitor. If it is ordinary smoke, the prison guard will never notice it.

"Oh, this kind...it doesn't matter. After using the monitor for a long time, there will be some problems. As long as you can still see things, it doesn't matter." The prison guard said with a smile.

Lu Ye was already sure.

His substitute appeared.

To say why he was so sure, because the smoke had already started to flow slowly, and began to surround him.

Lu Ye picked up a ballpoint pen on the table and touched the black smoke lightly.

However, at the moment when the tip of the pen came into contact with the smoke, the part of the tip of the pen disappeared.

As if swallowed by black smoke, only half of the ballpoint pen remained, even the refill inside was broken, and the ink in the cut refill did not flow out.

Lu Ye was shocked.

Is it...

He put down the ballpoint pen, put the ink bottle in his pocket, and went to the toilet for convenience.

This black mist still followed him, vaguely away.

Lu Ye put half of the ink bottle into the black mist. This half of the ink bottle was swallowed, while the other half was still in Lu Ye's hands. The ink inside did not flow out because half of the bottle disappeared.

Lu Ye stretched out his index finger to touch the ink, and the pad of his index finger was stained black the moment it touched the ink.

"I see……"

There was a smile on the corner of Lu Ye's mouth.

He probably figured out the general ability of this stand-in.
