after waking up.

Chapter 22
To be honest, Mulan in the past seemed to be very persistent in revitalizing the Jonest family, so that even now Mulan can still feel an almost instinctive excitement when he sees the newspaper, and in a sense, it can be regarded as a kind of love for himself. kind of affirmation.

However, Mulan couldn't help but complained in her heart that she had solved the perverted murderer who didn't even know the name until now. Apart from increasing her popularity in the newspapers, the Valentine Police Department didn't even get any awards, at least not substantive. Rewards, maybe it will be good for Leo.

'This paper must be kept! '

Thinking like this, Mulan put the newspaper in the inner pocket of his coat, and then walked quickly to the south of the city.

The strong winds and rains for many days have blocked most people from their homes. Although it is not sunny today, it is a rare good weather compared to the previous period, so the churches all over Valentine have welcomed a large number of believers.

When Mulan arrived at the sanctuary in the south of the city, a large number of believers were gathering towards the sanctuary.

The specifications of this sanctuary are not very high. Presumably there is only one clergyman, Ai Wen. There are many such sanctuaries in the city. Mulan looked at the gathering of believers and couldn’t help but sighed at the sanctuary in his heart. Missionary success.

Of course, Mulan would not stand outside and wait, but entered the sanctuary with the flow of people. People entered one by one, looking for an empty seat to sit down silently. No one was making noise, and familiar people just talked in a low voice.

Mulan didn't know anyone, so naturally it was impossible to find someone to talk to. He just found a place with few people to sit down, which happened to be a little back in the middle, but he just sat down, and an old woman beside him Been watching him.

Mulan couldn't pretend she didn't see it, so she nodded to her. The middle-aged woman took out a newspaper from her small bag to confirm something.

"Oh my god, are you Lord Jones?"

The city of Valentine is not small, but the fact that retired officers eliminated the perverted murderer one-on-one in a nearly duel way has spread very quickly. In addition, the vivid description of the Valentine Daily reporter is mixed with some fictions, and its news effect is far more than some. What aristocratic tidbits and boring politics.

And the photo of Mulan was taken very well. Most of the residents of Valentine, especially women, would look a lot more. At this moment, this woman happened to recognize him because he was close to him.

"Yes ma'am, but this is the sanctuary, please keep quiet."

The middle-aged woman was very happy.

"It turns out it's really you. You removed the danger for us. You must be shrouded in God's holy light. May God bless you!"

"Thank you!"

Mulan said politely, and looked forward with a cane in both hands. The middle-aged woman's attention also shifted to the front. Priest Aiwen was walking slowly. In addition to his white priest's uniform today, he was also wearing a white priest's uniform. A sanctuary accessory with a metal ring on the outside and three beams of light carved on the inside.

Walking in front of the statue of Holy Light, Ai Wen smiled at all the believers who came here. After finding Mulan sitting in the crowd, the smile became even brighter.

"Wind and rain can't hinder our piety, the Holy Light will protect us all from darkness, even if there are occasional evildoers, those who feel the will of the Holy Light will appear and defend justice, just like the heroic Second Lieutenant Mullan Jones! "

To praise Mulan like this, Aiwen couldn't see any expressions of pride and joy on Mulan's face, but it made him feel that Mulan was excellent, and he was not afraid of humiliation.

The prayer ceremony was not lengthy, but there were many believers who wanted to talk to Ai Wen, telling about their troubles and all kinds of trivial matters that had nothing to do with God. Ai Wen kept a smile throughout the whole process and communicated with the believers in a gentle tone. Give your own advice.

Mulan waited for a long time, and the believers in the church were finally almost gone. During this period, many believers either identified themselves, or heard other believers mention it, and recognized that the young man sitting there was from the newspaper. Retired second lieutenant Mulan Jonest, many people looked at Mulan a few more times when they left.

After the meeting was almost gone, Mulan stood up, and Ai Wen also walked towards him slowly, and took the lead in speaking in a relieved tone.

"I've been waiting for you to come over, I saw the newspaper, and God can see what you've done!"

Mulan looked at Ai Wen and asked directly.

"Then can God see what that murderer did? If I hadn't acted, Valentine might have killed a lot of people, God, or what would the church do?"

Ai Wen smiled and told Mulan very frankly.

"God will have its own arrangements, such as your appearance."

Mulan grinned reluctantly. He didn't like this statement very much. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned slightly. A special feeling made him subconsciously look not far away. , he found that there was another person sitting there, and at this moment this person had stood up.

"Yeah, God will have his plans. That guy has begun to touch the inhuman side. The church may not care, but we will definitely intervene before he does anything worse."

Ai Wen turned around and looked at the source of the sound in surprise, but there were still believers who had not left, and he just didn't find it.

Mulan's brows stretched out and greeted the visitor.

"Hello, Sir Walton."

"Second lieutenant, we meet again. In fact, I happened to see your heroic performance yesterday. I have to say that you are better than I thought!"

happen to see?Ghost letter!

Mulan complained in her heart, but responded calmly on her face.

"You've won the prize, to correct me, I've already retired, and even before I retired, I was fired. You were there at the time, sir!"

At the end of the word "Sir", Mulan slightly increased his tone. He would never forget the three shots in the courtroom. If he hadn't shot in the courtroom, the outcome of the trial might have been better.

But there was only a smile on Walton's face.

"That is the loss of the Imperial Army, but the Empire will not miss a talent like you. If you want, I will be the leader and take you to the gate of another world!"

Walton is not as euphemistic as Ai Wen, and straight to the point, simply and rudely threw a blockbuster in Mulan's heart.

Ivan on the side was in a hurry. He discovered the unpolished gem of Mulan. He didn't expect that this mysterious jazz didn't talk about martial arts and directly robbed people in the sanctuary?

"This Sir, Mr. Jonest is a devout believer of God, and God would rather see him bathed in the Holy Light, too."

"Cistercian, I am also a devout believer of God, and I am also bathed in the Holy Light, even the Dilga Empire. This is not contradictory. I believe you appreciate Mulan very much, but for the Diocese of Sanctuary , he is just a devout believer."

Walton spoke very blatantly, and also made Aiwen speechless. He believed that people like Mulan would shine, but he was only a church priest in an area south of Valentin, and he really had no control over him. A matter of the archdiocese.

Walton unilaterally suppressed Ai Wen, and his aura was completely two levels, like a kind adult talking to a child.

"Then Mulan, are you going out for a walk with me, or are you going to continue praying?"

There is no doubt that Mulan will not choose the second option. Even if it is the sleep problem that bothers him, Walton may have a solution. Even if he doesn't, he can only come back to the church. Good head priest. '

"I have finished my prayers today, Reverend Ivan, I will come to see you next time."

Ai Wen sighed and suppressed the urge to hammer Walton for a meal. He kept telling himself that he was a cleric, to be calm, and then he had to respond to Mulan with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

"Then farewell!"

Walton patted Mulan on the shoulder and led him out of the church.
