Genshin Impact: I am the only one who can bring disaster to Teyvat
Chapter 162 What does it mean to leave home and become a monk?
The dazzling sun penetrates the fractured glass, taking away the scorching colors, leaving only the colorful hues supported by the smooth and bright floor tiles. Outside the window, the leaves swaying in the breeze leave floating green shadows on the glass, and noble and sacred prayers echo in the church.
The holy nun walked slowly past the stained glass, her figure elongated by the sunlight. The silver ornaments inlaid on the corners of the scriptures praising Lord Barbatos reflected dazzling light, and the cross hanging on it swayed as she walked.
The sound of her high heels hitting the floor tiles was crisp and loud. Her delicate ankles, which were occasionally exposed when she walked, were wrapped in thin white socks. Her rouge-like lips silently recited the prayers beside her as the nun came to the confessional and lifted the curtain.
"Dear Father..." A low voice came from the other side. The wall was embedded with a grid with tiny gaps, so the appearance of the person on the other side could not be seen clearly.
This voice is somewhat familiar. ——The nun thought.
But if the confessor wants to hide something, the clergy should not ask questions. The nun did not pursue the familiarity of the voice and answered lightly:
"Father Vitoire is not on duty today. I am Sister Victoria."
Early this morning, when the clergy on duty in the church walked out of the church, they found a huge banner hung at the door of the church, which read "Welcome the God of Attendants Sakura Sai Gon Palace Master to come and guide us."
On both sides of the door, there was a group of drunkards lying on mattresses on the ground, with familiar-looking musical instruments in their arms or beside them. It was finally proved that these instruments came from the church's storeroom.
This is clearly a provocation.
A provocation against the West Wind Church!
The provocateur was undoubtedly the frequent offender of blasphemy.
The devout clergy were once again furious, and almost all the strong priests and pastors were mobilized, vowing to bring the criminal to justice and let him taste the wrath of Lord Barbatos's followers.
Almost nine out of ten clergymen in the church had left, leaving only a few to maintain the operation of the church and receive people or strangers who came to pray. Victoria also temporarily took on the responsibility of confession.
"Sister Victoria, can I tell you everything?" The voice that came again concealed a trembling cowardice, and the heavier breathing was filled with fear, as if the person was in danger.
Victoria said in a soft voice: "Not only can you tell me everything, you can also seek help from the church. The church is willing to help all those who sincerely repent."
Fear and cowardice are common, which means that most people who come to confess are terrified of the secrets they are about to reveal and try to breathe air to relieve themselves.
There are only two outcomes for such a person: one is to flee in panic, and the other is to achieve self-enlightenment through repentance.
I hope he can achieve enlightenment. ——Victoria thought sincerely.
"I'm guilty."
"Everyone makes mistakes unintentionally. I think you who came to confess also committed the crime unintentionally. Lord Barbatos will forgive everyone who sincerely repents."
The other party was silent for a moment, and his palms seemed to be clenched together and rubbed vigorously. A faint sound lasted for a long time before it subsided. He took two deep breaths and then said:
"I, I have a fiancée who is a few years older than me. We have always had a good relationship. We both use our own methods to understand each other's lives and pay attention to details that each other doesn't notice. We agreed to be together for the rest of our lives. It must be a lifetime."
Victoria felt lucky for the man on the other side. He did not choose to escape, so as a clergyman, she naturally wanted to comfort him as much as possible: "It is a blessing to have someone to accompany you for the rest of your life."
"But……"
This time the voice sounded like crying. The unidentified person cried, "I did something wrong to my fiancée, you know? Usually I always take advantage of my free time to care for some elderly people. They are very old."
"Just a few days ago, an old lady I took care of suddenly... suddenly became scheming. I, I... Sister Victoria said it was all my fault. I shouldn't have cared about her. All this was my own fault..."
"Am I really wrong?" The question was filled with troubled doubts, and the fear was even more obvious. "I can still feel the touch of that skin full of historical sediments touching my skin. Every time I take a shower, I feel that the water is from that old man."
Sister Victoria rubbed her stiff cheeks in confusion and said in a softer voice, "This is not your fault. Caring for the elderly is our duty. Everything you did was in line with the guidance of freedom. The one who really made the mistake was the old man."
Where did this old thing come from?
You are already old but still thinking about young grass?
Such an evil old man should have exploded the gold coins early!
"But, but my fiancée...she knows about this. How do you think I should face her? I am full of evil and I don't seem to be worthy of her..."
"Bang--"
"Sorry, sorry, I dropped something..."
Panicked apologies were heard one after another from the other side. Sister Victoria's eyes twitched wildly. She was very familiar with the sound just now. Occasionally, she would be responsible for dealing with a group of church members who would carry weapons.
She whispered:
"Sir, you are the victim. You should not blindly take the blame on yourself. Believe in the power of love. True love will make your fiancé choose to share the sadness with you and bring the hateful criminal to justice."
"Blaming yourself won't solve anything. Besides, how can you, as a victim, be evil? Even if Lord Barbatos were to come to this world, he would praise your noble character."
"Are you laughing at me? How can I be called noble?"
"Because of your self-blame! Why do you blame yourself? Of course it's because of love. Your love is noble and sacred and cannot be desecrated by others. It is because of this kind of love that makes you noble. This is not a mockery!"
"Who would laugh at a person who is full of love? The most praiseworthy emotion in the world is love, the love between elders and juniors, the love between lovers, the love between brothers and sisters. This is the most beautiful thing in the world, the thing most worth protecting and fighting for."
"Sir, you are just so beautiful..."
◇
"It sounds quite flustered."
Dina Zedai, who was sitting closer to the confessional, whispered, "That nun couldn't hold back her voice. The lines that Sakurasai prepared were indeed provocative."
Dixia stared closely at Victoria's hand that stretched out the curtain to greet people, and asked curiously, "I'm more curious about the part at the bottom of the script that is adapted from a real event. Could there really be such an old man?"
"According to our human age, she is indeed an old man, but according to the age of the Inazuma monster, she seems to be a very young girl. Although Sakurasai likes to tease older immortals, his ideas are still those of the immortals."
"Immortal species? This species, born with a special physique and a long life, is really enviable. I'm really curious about Teyvat in a hundred or thousand years."
"Well, if you are envious, Dixia..."
Dina Zedai said with a strange look on her face: "Yakusai has a way to let you see Teyvat a thousand years later. He has something called "The Banner of All People 4.0", which can extract and store human souls."
"It's just that it's too evil. Even though Sakurasai has never used it except for animal experiments, we have to admit that it's a method."
"Forget it, I'd better just live a good life as a human being..."
"what--"
A sudden sharp scream interrupted their conversation. Coral Palace Xinhai, who arrived on time in disguise, ran into the church screaming loudly, with a perfunctory helplessness hidden under her anxious face.
"My dear, please don't let it get to your head..."
The scream interrupted the prayer and also disturbed Victoria in the confessional. Hearing a soft apology and the sound of scissors opening and closing from the opposite side, she didn't have time to think about it and decisively kicked the thin wooden board in the middle.
Things have come to this, no matter what consolation there is, saving the people first is better than anything else!
“…Leave home and become a monk!”
Victoria kicked a hole in the wooden board, and the lady outside the confession room finished her words with a scream. Victoria suddenly felt something was wrong.
What does it mean to leave home and become a monk?
