After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

"I'll go call her for you."

After hearing what Murphy said, Gioc wanted to go in and help him find Aunt Kelly.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw Candice standing behind Murphy, with her head down and her face unclear.

"Hmm? Is the child behind you a new orphan?"

"Oh, what a poor child."

"There's obviously no war now, so you came here just for this."

Murphy was about to deny his statement, but at this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Although it was not directed at him, he could still feel the chill coming from behind him.

As for the target of his murderous intent, the trainee priest Giok, his feelings were even stronger.

"Huh? Isn't it a summer afternoon now? Why do I suddenly feel a little cold?"

"...Don't worry about the people behind me for now. Go and call Aunt Kelly for me. I need to talk to her about something."

Murphy looked back at Candice, who immediately lowered her head again, and the terrifying chill disappeared.

Giok seemed to realize something when he saw this scene.

He thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Okay, come in first."

"Just sit in the front yard and wait for a while. I'll go call Kelly's mother for you."

Gioc led the two into the church vestibule.

After all, today is not a special day, so there are only a few people inside the church.

They were sitting in chairs with their heads down. Murphy couldn't hear what they were muttering, but she thought they were praying.

After Gioc brought them in, he left them alone.

He walked directly to the left rear of the vestibule and opened a small door.

That was the road to the backyard of the church, and he was now going to help Murphy find Aunt Kelly.

The back garden he went to was where the clergy and nuns of the church usually lived and worked.

Murphy was very familiar with this place, so he didn't look around for long. Instead, he took Candice to find a bench and sat down.

But Candice, who had never been here before, seemed a little curious and kept looking around.

The interior of the church is very high, with pointed arched ceilings and dozens of tall columns supporting the domes.

There are many rows of chairs where they are sitting now. This is where believers pray and listen to the gospel.

At the deepest part of the vestibule, there is a huge statue of Cassia, whose expression is built to be kind and gentle.

In front of the statue there is a table called a lectern, on which is placed an enlarged version of the Codex Cassia.

Every Sunday, the priest needs to stand behind the lectern to read the Holy Scriptures and explain the Gospel.

Except for the small door at the deepest part of the vestibule that Geok had just opened.

There is also a small door on the walls on both sides.

Inside is the place commonly known as the "confession room", but its real name is "confession room".

The entire interior of the church is decorated with gold and looks extremely luxurious.

As for the others, there doesn’t seem to be anything more to introduce.

“How luxurious.”

"How can you trick people into becoming believers if you're not extravagant?"

Murphy curled her lips when she heard Candice's low murmur of praise.

He actually didn't have much of an issue with the church's extravagance.

After all, this is the place where he was raised.

However, he really disliked the church's methods of attracting believers and the expressions on its faces when asking for donations.

But there is no way around it. The more believers a church has, the more donations they can get.

The church's income comes only from donations from believers and fees charged by divine magicians for helping others with their treatment.

In this way, Murphy and Candice chatted on the topics that Candice brought up from time to time.

It didn't take long before Giok, who had just left here, came back.

Chapter 46 Sister Kelly

Gioc came back soon, followed by a woman in her thirties wearing a black nun's uniform.

The woman was quite tall, only slightly shorter than Murphy, and her face was very beautiful.

Her long, slightly curly golden hair was spread out behind her, but part of it was hidden in the nun's hat.

There was a pendant hanging around her neck, but the end of the pendant was buried deep in her chest, leaving people with a lot of imagination but unable to see its specific appearance.

But Murphy actually knew that it was a golden pendant that looked a bit like the sun.

In this world, Cassia's symbol seems to be the sun.

Because Cassia's followers believe that the power of healing spells and those offensive spells that only A-level divine magicians can master comes from the sun.

The woman following behind Giock was the Aunt Kelly that Murphy mentioned, who raised him and Ella.

In Murphy's impression, Aunt Kelly always had a gentle expression on her face.

And her green eyes always exude a gentle aura.

But at this moment, the gentle expression on her face disappeared, and was instead filled with anger.

Even the gentleness in her eyes that had never changed was completely gone.

Aunt Kelly glanced around the church vestibule and found Murphy sitting in the corner.

Then, she walked towards this side angrily.

"Murphy! You dare to come back, you bastard!"

"You idiot, do you know what you have done?"

Seeing Aunt Kelly rushing towards them, Murphy quickly stood up and shouted at her.

"Wait! Aunt Kelly! I'm hurt now!"

"..."

"Humph."

Aunt Kelly, who was a little angry, stopped and looked at him carefully after hearing Murphy's words.

Then she snorted heavily, and her anger seemed to have subsided a little.

"Let me see where you're hurt."

"My right shoulder is completely immobile. I think it's broken."

Aunt Kelly stood in the aisle between the seats and waved to Murphy.

Murphy walked over obediently because he knew that Aunt Kelly always used healing magic.

After walking over, he turned to the left and offered his right shoulder.

He seemed defenseless, but in fact he was full of vigilance in his heart. He knew that Aunt Kelly would not let him go.

"Here, let me see..."

Aunt Kelly reached out and gently stroked Murphy's right shoulder.

Feeling Aunt Kelly's gentle touch, Murphy gradually let down her guard.

Then......

"Hey!"

"Hiss! It hurts so much! Aunt Kelly, what are you doing?"

"Hahahaha, you little bastard, I can't calm down if I don't teach you a lesson."

Aunt Kelly suddenly increased the strength of her hand and pinched Murphy's injured shoulder.

Murphy was pinched by this sudden "attack" and took a breath in pain.

After hearing his breath, Candice, who had already stood up with Murphy, came over with some concern.

Aunt Kelly, on the other hand, started laughing without any ladylike manner, as if she had avenged herself.

"Okay, stop making trouble, little brat."

"Let me help you treat it."

Aunt Kelly stopped laughing and her expression changed again.

It wasn't that he returned to his gentle or angry look, but rather that he put on a very pious expression.

And Giok, who was standing behind her, began to look at her with anticipation and admiration in his eyes.

The person he admires is Aunt Kelly, who has taken care of him since he was a child.

Although Murphy felt that he had no chance in this life, after all, Aunt Kelly was a woman who devoted herself entirely to God.

However, since Giok was still willing to admire her like this even though he knew the truth, she couldn't say anything.

Murphy and Candice saw Aunt Kelly close her eyes and take out the sun pendant buried in her chest.

She held the pendant in her left hand, then gently placed her right hand on Murphy's right shoulder and spoke in a pious tone.

"Gentle goddess Cassia, under your loving gaze, heal the wounds of this suffering man with the warm power of the sun."

After saying this, Aunt Kelly opened her eyes again.

But now, her eyes were covered with a layer of gentle golden light, looking full of love.

It's better to say that it's a bit too kind.

Her pious expression also disappeared, and turned into one of sorrow for the injured Murphy.

At the same time, the hand she placed on Murphy's shoulder began to emit a golden light that was not dazzling.

The light shone through Murphy's skin and into his body, making him feel warm.

Feeling this warm light like the gentle sun, he suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for the people in the church to use the sun to symbolize the goddess Cassia.

Gradually, the golden light in Aunt Kelly's eyes began to disappear.

Her expression also changed back to the way Murphy remembered it.

The same thing happened to the light on her right hand. As the light disappeared, Murphy felt that her right shoulder seemed to be able to move.

He shook his arm gently and felt no pain in his shoulder.

Then he increased the amplitude of the arm swing slightly to eliminate the blockage caused by long-term shoulder disuse.

"Huh, I'm finally back to normal."

"Hehe, now that we've recovered, shouldn't we settle our accounts?"

"..."

"Okay, Aunt Kelly."

I heard a sneering voice coming from behind me.

The joy in Murphy's heart that her shoulder had just recovered also disappeared.

He lowered his head obediently, waiting for Aunt Kelly's "judgment".
