Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 469 Forty Six. The Fifth Believer

  The light and shadow begin to flow faster, the changing light and shadow represent the rapid passage of time,

   Time passed, but what happened in the church was reflected in Lu Li's mind in an incomprehensible way.

  Lu Li "saw" the priest leaving the church, during which some believers were praying and massing among the pews, or chatting with nuns.

   And over time, the first familiar figure appeared in the church.

  Olivia and her child sat on the bench, soft light shone on her long flaxen hair, and the child's cough was occasionally heard.

  The nun came, asked something and left, and soon reappeared with food.

   Then Green and his daughter.

   The two times I saw her with sadness, she was still a cheerful girl. She sat down on the bench on the other side of Olivia mother and son with her father's arm in her arms.

   They talked about something, knowing that they were called by the priest.

   But after that, the girl who had thought about Lu Li never appeared until the light of the church turned into the warmth of the afternoon, and the tired priest returned to the church.

   He talked for a moment with Olivia and Green who got up, and came to the confession room. He lowered his old head and said something, but because of the accelerated time, it was difficult for Lu Li to respond to him.

   The priest, who did not get a response, returned to Olivia and Green in disappointment, waiting for the evening to come.

  Looking at the church from this strange perspective, Lu Li noticed some details.

   There was still some time before dusk, so the nun brought a few lit oil lamps in advance.

Father   , Olivia, and Green would often look at the strangely placed radio on the church podium, as if the content inside was very important.

  The former may mean that this place is also shrouded in the calamity of the night, and the latter is unknown for the time being.

  The light and shadow that penetrated into the church outside the confession room gradually became dim, and the figure next to the oil lamp became clear.

   The girl who asked for help still did not appear. Despite some flaws, everything is turning for the better.

   seems.

   Then suddenly, as night approached, a fiery red light like the setting sun ignited outside the church.

   The priest and others who stood up in panic on the bench told Lu Li that it was not the afterglow of the sunset.

  The roaring flames lit around the church, and the smoke surged into the sky, so close to the place where the gods lived.

  The spreading flames distorted everything in sight. Those figures seemed to want to escape, but were swallowed by the flames in the dim light.

  The burning wooden frame collapsed, and the flames fell like raindrops from the ceiling portrait.

  In this raging flame, only the confession room on the edge remained as it was in the blazing flames, as if it was isolated from the world.

   The flames that licked Lu Li's face so close at hand couldn't bring any warmth.

   Lu Li frowned and remained silent, unable to understand the reason for the change.

In the    test, failure is inevitable? Otherwise, Lu Li couldn't think of any reason why the church would suddenly burst into flames.

   In any case, the flames heralded the failure of the test on this floor.

  The flames outside the confession room were still burning like hell, and Lu Li had no need to stay, so he brought on a weak oil lamp like a firefly and opened the carved wooden door behind him.

  The walls were corroded by the darkness, and the broken stone steps extended downward like irregularly poured broken soil.

   They glow faintly like stars in the night sky.

   just doesn't feel beautiful and mysterious at all.

   At the same time, the abyss exposed without any cover allowed Lu Li to see the two carved wooden doors below. At the bottom of them, there is a passage that suddenly exists in the abyss, intact.

   There are two levels left in the test, which will be the last two chances for Lu Li.

   Lu Li didn't know what would happen after the passage completely disappeared, he could only continue down.

  The broken stone steps became difficult to land on. To get to the next floor, Lu Li had to jump to the next floor as if stepping on a stone out of the river.

   The carved wooden door connecting the edge of the gravel seems to stand in the dark void. When the wooden door is opened, the soothing organ sound and light and shadow once again dispel the rich depression in the dark void.

  【The eyes of the gods will also be blinded by their most loyal servants】

   The advice on the wall is specious.

   glanced at the church, the hall was empty, and the light behind the door was close to noon.

   closed the wooden door, put down the oil lamp and sat in the wooden chair, while Lu Li waited for the arrival of the fifth believer.

   Soon, a staggering figure appeared outside the door.

   He was very young, and his legs seemed to be injured a little bit. He stumbled to the front of the confession room and sat down on a wooden chair. He said eagerly, "Father, please help me..."

   "My name is Al Peters, and my brother committed an unforgivable sin..."

   Lu Li's eyes gradually narrowed.

   Like his older brother Jonah Peters, Al Peters tells a somewhat similar but different character story.

   In the story he described, his brother Jonah was like a viper since he was a child, and he had a gifted intelligence for killing. The objects he killed ranged from insects, to small animals, to people not long ago...

  Yes, in the mouth of older brother Jonah Peters, it is his younger brother who is called the gut cutter. But in the mouth of brother Al Peters, it was brother Jonah who became the gut cutter.

   has realized what Lu Li picked up and kept it secret.

  【Your brother came here not long ago and told me the same story, but in the story, your identities have been exchanged】

   Al Peters paused briefly, then understood what had happened.

   He wanted to say something, but suddenly there were cluttered footsteps at the door of the church.

  Some figures broke into the church, but it was different from what Lu Li imagined. This was a group of police officers.

   They walked quickly to the confession room, led by the nun.

Al Peters looked back, suddenly tore off the paper and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, his voice implored with a certain resoluteness: "I hope you can keep a secret for me, brother, he has difficulties in doing this, he will not Do it again, I promise—"

   The police officers who rushed up pushed Al Peters on a wooden chair and rudely put them on chains and pulled them up. Al Peters groaned in pain.

  The police officers vaguely overheard Al Peters talking about the confession room, and out of suspicion, they opened the wooden door of the confession room. But apparently, they couldn't find anything.

   The confession room was empty,

   Al Peters' eyes widened as he was escorted out of the church by the police.

  Lu Li lowered his head slightly, sorting out the logic of the matter.

   The murderer known as the Cutler is not Al, but Jonah.

   Perhaps aware that he was about to be discovered by the police, Jonah came to the church earlier and told the story he made up to the confession room.

   This is a very clever idea. He thought that the priest would be inside, and the priest who heard his fictional story would testify for him even if he didn’t go to the police.

   And even if the police department has clues, it is difficult to distinguish the twin brothers, who were born only minutes apart.

   Although there was no priest in the confession room, his plan was successful through Lu Li.

Father    called the police, and the police appeared to arrest Orr, who happened to be at the church.

   Jonah was cleared of guilt.

   The price was that he personally hanged his brother Orr.
