   Chapter 465 Forty Two. The First Believer The Second Believer

  The oil lamp on the table gave off a dim yellow light, but it couldn't shine into the confession room at all, as if the confession room and the outside were two different spaces.

   This is indeed the case. According to the normal depth, Lu Li is about 30 meters below the sea surface.

  The lady outside the confession room grabbed the paper with her rough hands, and slowly spoke about the trouble she encountered.

  Olivia Keaken may not be the most devout believer, but she takes one day out of every month to attend church.

   This is her second visit this month because of troubles.

   Her young son had an asthma attack and coughed up a lot of blood. After taking it to the clinic, the doctor told her that her condition was very serious, and she needed a long-term treatment to stabilize, and the effect would not be ideal.

  The high cost of treatment caused her husband to die, but Olivia Keaken, an ordinary peasant woman, could not afford it. She had to come to the church confession room and narrate her distress to the existence inside.

   Lu Li could hardly help in this matter.

Lu Li had money on him, but he couldn't hand out the shilling through the wide hole--or could hand it out, but the woman outside the confession room didn't seem to be able to see the shilling she desperately needed on the table, and was looking forward to the confession. The "Lord" on the other side of the room can help her with the truth written on paper.

   To be more specific, she hopes that the **** she has always believed in can help her solve the illness on her youngest son.

   Lu Li couldn't write [everything will be fine], but he really couldn't help Olivia Keaken. Thinking about it, he can only write the content on the paper.

  【Some people may be able to help you. A little-known unknown doctor, a retired old doctor, and a caring nobleman. The first two you can find out through your neighbors, while the latter can go to the door of the noble or rich man you know and shout out the difficulties you have encountered]

   Handed out the paper, which was all Lu Li could do.

   Those rough hands grabbed the paper, and after a moment of silence, the woman's voice was filled with undisguised loss: "Thank you my lord... After Xiao Keken's asthma is relieved, I will bring him to church to worship..."

  Olivia Kiken got up and left the seat and walked out, her figure blurry gradually becoming invisible to Lu Li.

Is    over?

   In the sound of the organ flowing in the church, Lu Li thought. Then, the light and shadow outside the confession room began to change.

   This kind of change is usually difficult to detect, but after acceleration, the light and shadow cast by the hollow wooden wall move quickly, clearly revealing the passage of time.

The change of    only lasted for more than ten seconds, but the hazy light outside had changed to the color of the afterglow before sunset, and a slanting sun was shining on the wooden chair opposite the wide hole.

   woo woo - woo woo -

  Two hazy figures appeared on the hollowed-out wooden wall. They were sweeping the ground and whispering in the spacious church.

   "Have you heard? Olivia was killed by Viscount Reeves' carriage..."

   "Who is Olivia?"

   "The woman who came in the morning came to the church for help when her child was sick and had no money for treatment."

   "Then what? How did you get hit by Viscount Reeves' carriage?"

"Who knows? After she left the church, she went everywhere to find out where there was a smart and cheap doctor. How could it be possible. Then she went crazy to stop the rich man's carriage and complained that Viscount Reeves' horse was frightened. , just hit her to death."

   "It's really pitiful... But if she gets compensation, her youngest son will have money for treatment."

   "Compensation? How could a mad woman suddenly rush out to stop the carriage and get compensation? If she hadn't died, Viscount Reeves would have punished her."

"Ugh……"

The    whispered conversation gradually faded away, and the confession room became darker and darker, and finally merged into the darkness, leaving only the faint light of the oil lamp.

  Lu Li stood up, the dark environment already represented the end of this door. No matter what the purpose of this test was, Lu Li seemed to have handed in an unsatisfactory answer.

   Picking up the oil lamp, Lu Li turned around to leave the confession room, and then his figure stopped in an instant.

   The steps outside have changed.

   The change is clearly visible: the walls and steps have become somewhat broken.

   It seems that the pillars of the temple, which have been neglected for many years, show signs of weathering and defects, and the walls and steps have become the same.

   But the broken wall did not make the afternoon light clearer, on the contrary, the light inside the stone became dull, as if the wall itself was shining, and with the breakage, the light naturally became dim.

   This is obviously not a good thing.

   Will the bad ending damage this place...

  Lu thought about it, and walked out of the confession room with the oil lamp.

  The carved wooden door closed behind him, Lu Li turned his head and watched quietly for a few seconds, then continued to walk down.

   Follow the missing steps to the next corner. At the end of the steps extending downward, another carved wooden door emerges.

   The same confession room, the same woody aroma and soothing flowing organ sounds.

  The difference is that on the hollow wooden wall of the confession room, two different words are scribbled crookedly.

  【Only the truth can win hearts】

  【Ignorance is not the original sin, but arrogance is】

  Lu Li compares it with the meaning of the words on the wall of his last experience. If they represent some kind of reminder, is the first sentence reminding himself to use "truth" to help believers who seek help?

   As for the second sentence, Lu Li was temporarily unable to effectively connect it with himself. Forcibly piecing it together could only make the meaning of this sentence seem plausible.

   Sitting on the wooden chair, just like on the upper floor, not long after Lu Li got into the wooden chair, a figure came from a distance.

   It was the outline of a man.

After the    figure sat on the wooden chair outside the confession room, the revealed figure confirmed Lu Li's guess.

   "Lord...I am guilty...Please forgive my sin..." The man said tremblingly, his legs tightly together, his white hands tightly entangled.

【what have you done? 】

   Lu Li wrote, handing out the paper.

   "I...I killed someone." The man's trembling voice contained a trace of fear, and the hatred that was suppressed in the deepest emotions.

   He tells the story of the matter—

   A group of gangsters has been pestering his daughter, and the man knew nothing about it before. Until not long ago, he saw his daughter being led into the alley by those gangsters.

   The man who had just gotten off work from the logging field was swept away by anger and rushed in to save his daughter.

   The matter should have ended here. If the man warned the gangsters to stay away from his daughter, and they agreed, it would be a good ending. But the angry man raised the axe in his hand and swung it at the gangsters.

   The man couldn't remember the final result. He only remembered that when he left, one fell to the ground and stopped making a sound, the other's chest heaved slightly, and the other stumbled and cried and escaped.

  The man who was wrapped in huge regret afterwards begged: "Please tell me should I turn myself in, will I go to **** after turning myself in... And what should I do with my daughter... Please help your most loyal servant."
