The silver bullet fired from the pistol was aimed at Anos’ chest at a speed invisible to the naked eye, but it stopped in the air when it was less than half a meter away from Anos, as if time was frozen.
Then the silver bullet lost its power and fell on the brick floor, making a “ding-dong” sound.
Anos raised his eyes and looked at Archbishop Ellis opposite him.
Archbishop Ellis’s handsome face was filled with pain, his veins bulged, his complexion had become paler, and the color of his pupils gradually deepened, from dark green to deep and black.
At the same time, an evil aura gradually emanated from him, and he continued to raise the pistol with trembling arms.
“God is with me.”
Anos made a cross on his chest and prayed silently.
His whole body suddenly emitted pure white holy light, like a human-shaped sun.
The holy light shone on Archbishop Ellis, making his expression even more painful. But at the same time, his whole body relaxed, breaking away from the state of being a puppet, and he suddenly coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
Anos put away the holy light, raised the cross in his hand, and a bright light condensed on the cross, and then an extremely thin line burst out and burst in a certain direction!
After a moment, Anos put down his hand and frowned slightly: “Let him run away.”
There was a hint of red on the cross he had used, as if it was stained with someone’s blood.
Ellis, who had escaped from the state of being “dominated”, coughed twice again. His complexion became paler. He stared silently at his equally pale hands and the still smoking pistol, and suddenly turned the gun towards himself.
This time, before the trigger was pulled, the pistol was already in Anos’s hand.
He looked at Ellis calmly: “God’s teachings do not allow suicide. Have you decided to betray God?”
Ellis became even more silent, as if he had been thrown into the bottom of a dark lake.
After a long while, he finally gave a faint and bitter smile: “I still want to stand with God… But will God allow someone with vile and dirty devil blood to stand under his glory?”
Anos did not answer the question immediately. He just put away the pistol and sat down again: “I remember you didn’t have demon blood before.”
“I thought I didn’t have it.” Ellis pursed his thin lips. “It was activated by the Yin energy when I was exorcising evil spirits in the cemetery two years ago. Maybe it’s because my ancestors once intermarried with the devil, but after so many generations, there is almost no trace of it in me, so I hadn’t discovered it yet.”
Anos thought about Ellis’s behavior just now, thought for a moment and said, “The demon blood in you seems to belong to a vampire?”
Ellis’s eyes, which had returned to their deep green color, flashed with a hint of annoyance, and he whispered, “Even if I am forced to transform into a real demon, I will not attack civilians!”
With the awakening of his demon blood, he did have some blood-sucking urges every time the full moon came. That was why he let himself come to the manor by Lake Florai to be alone.
As outstanding talents in the Holy See, every bishop had more or less worked as an ascetic in a monastery, and resisting desires was a compulsory course. Although the urge to suck blood was unfamiliar, it was still not to the point where he could not control it.
What’s more, he carried the silver bullet pistol with him not for self-defense, but to end his life with his own hands when he felt that there was no way back.
Anos shook his head. “What I meant to say is that the Vatican’s Demon Research Institute has made great progress in the research of different types of demons in recent years. Vampires are not related to corpses or death but are more related to the full moon. Among the people with demon blood observed by the Vatican, those with vampire blood would not show any abnormality even if they walked in cemeteries, hospital morgues, etc.”
Archbishop Ellis was stunned.
….
When Anos returned to the church of Sheen Manor, he smelled an indescribable smell.
It had the aroma of meat and fish fried in olive oil, as well as the carbonized and burnt smell.
He was stunned, followed the smell into the kitchen, and saw Luo Mi struggling with pots and pans.
The magic that concealed Luo Mi’s demonic features had disappeared, and his not-so-flexible wings were stretched back, as if to avoid the hot oil splashing on his wings; his slender tail was wrapped with a spatula, waving in the air, and from time to time he would reach into the pot to turn it over; as for Luo Mi’s two hands, they were holding a spoon and a plate respectively, and he was frantically scooping things out of the pot.
Anos asked in surprise: “Lian, what are you doing?”
“Ah, I’m cooking!” Luo Mi put the full plate aside and wiped the sweat from his forehead. “It will be ready soon!”
Anos looked at the burnt pot, was silent for a moment, and then quietly walked out.
[Host, can you really cook?]
“Yes! It was just a small accident!” Luo Mi felt aggrieved, “I used to use an induction cooker with a stable temperature, never used charcoal fire?”
He thought that the world’s technological level should have at least a gas stove, but he didn’t expect that the church kitchen still had an old-fashioned charcoal stove, so he had to go ahead and use it.
The temperature of the charcoal fire was too difficult to control, resulting in a mess.
“But at least modern cooking techniques have been incorporated into this.” Luo Mi comforted himself, “It should be tastier than the food in this world… right?”
After the three dishes and one soup were served, Anos looked at the half-burnt food and asked calmly with his eyes.
Luo Mi said with a stiff face: “I ate the food in the restaurant and thought it tasted good, so I wanted to come back and make it for you myself.”
Anos took a bite of the food on the plate in front of him. His handsome eyebrows trembled unconsciously, and then a look of realization appeared on his face: “So that’s how it is… Thank you, Lian, for taking your time. Your devotion to God has once again exceeded my imagination.”
Luo Mi unconsciously uttered “hmm”, with the ending tone rising to express his confusion.
