That evening, at 9 o'clock.Merlin's car stopped in front of the orphanage, where he bought Eric some new clothes and pizza for the children at the behest of the children.The security guard, who had confirmed Merlin's identity, did not stop them this time, he helped Merlin bring several stacked pizzas into the yard, and the children, who were supposed to be resting, saw that Eric's brother had brought back the food, and immediately shouted again.It also alarmed Father Paul, who was praying."
I'm sorry, Father."
Merlin apologized and said to Father Paul: "I just wanted to do something good, but I disturbed your prayers, which is so undeserved. ”"It's okay, it's okay, Mr.
Merlin."
Father Paul, who had a calm expression, waved his hand to Merlin, and he looked back at the smiling children who were sharing their pizzas, and he smiled and said to Merlin: "The Lord leads us to do good deeds, which are good deeds that should not be reprimanded."
It's just that next time, you can come over during the day, the children are still young, and eating too much at night is not good for their stomachs. ”"You are a truly good man, and the Lord will bless you."
The priest's words made Merlin smile a little difficult.If the priest's lord really existed, Merlin hoped that the omnipotent god would help him get rid of the dark forces that existed in him.But it's also impossible to think about it.From the moment he began to wander, he knew that these things could only be solved by himself."
I won't bother you to continue praying, Father, and I'll send Eric's things to his room."
Merlin said goodbye to the good priest, carrying Eric's box and some of the things he had bought, and led by Eric, to the children's room.St.
Agnes Orphanage is a large school with ample housing for the children, even for 2-4 people per room, just like a boarding school dormitory.The nuns also supervise the daily life of the children, who are very hygienic and polite at their request."
By the way, Eric, where's little Ada?"
After helping Eric pack his things, Merlin left him some money and was ready to leave.Before leaving, he pretended to be curious and asked, "You always say that the kid is cute, and I want to see it too." ”"Oh, Ida is probably asleep, she should be in the nun's room, where there is a cradle."
Eating his pizza, Eric said to Merlin, "But the nuns are praying, and you may not see her." ”"Well, that's a shame."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders, waved goodbye to Eric, and turned and walked out of the house.But the moment he walked down the stairs, Merlin spread his dark sense, and after making sure that no one was around, his fingers moved, and the shadow covered his body, causing him to disappear above the stairs in an instant.The Super Serum not only strengthened Merlin's body, but also gave him greater control over his magical powers, and he could now not only actively transform into a black mist, but also use the shadow cloak more delicately.Merlin had secretly tested it at the Secret Service Academy, and in a dark environment, his shadow cloak could even hide the temperature emitted by his body.In other words, now even the infrared observer can no longer capture his figure.Unfortunately, sound waves and light detections, such as sonar or lasers, can still lock his position through the shadows.Merlin walked in the shadows, and without alerting anyone, he soon came to the nuns' room.The nuns prayed in the church, and the door to the house was locked, but this did not bother Merlin.He took out the special lock-picking tool from his wallet and opened the door in just a few seconds.He walked into the room step by step, saw the cradle in front of him, and sure enough, as Eric said, the child in the cradle was very well-behaved.Her face was pink, round, and she looked so cute, like a doll.Merlin stood by the cradle, took off his rimless glasses, and turned on his vision.Merlin watched the child's soul closely, and after a moment he put on his glasses again, and left the house quietly, as he had come."
That kid isn't possessed by a demon, and he doesn't have the power of darkness, so it seems that I'm thinking too much."
Merlin's uneasiness was finally dispelled.In fact, when he heard Eric say that little Ida was haunted by bad luck, he thought of himself, and he was worried that the child had the same magic in his body as he did, but now, she hadn't found anything, which made Merlin breathe a sigh of relief.But the moment he walked out of the orphanage, he heard something else in his keen dark perception.It was Father Paul, who seemed to be arguing with several nuns about something.Maggie was not expelled for a mistake or deviated from the Lord's teachings, she was still kind and sincere.Father, I beg you, save Maggie!
She's in a bad situation right now. ”A nun pleaded, but Father Paul, who had always been mild-mannered, replied with some indifference."
Maggie broke her vows, child, in faith and love, she made her own choice, and this path was her own choice.I have also advised her that I desire more than any of you to see Maggie return to the arms of the Lord, but she has let me down. ”"Maggie has given birth, Father!
Maggie is now living in pain every day, and she is very melancholy.She confessed to the cross every day at home, Father!
Please, give her another chance. ”"A nun cannot bear children."
Father Paul stubbornly said, "That's not allowed by the Lord, that's wrong!"
Maggie is only 19 years old this year, and that Jack hurt her!
”Despite the priest's repeated refusals, the nuns pleaded hard."
Father, please don't think of Maggie as a nun, just think of her as someone in need.She's really bad right now, I've been to see her, she...
She even tried to commit suicide to make amends for her mistakes. ”"It's...
Okay, then I'll go with you. ”Eventually, they seemed to move the priest, and just as the priest walked out of the church with the nuns, he saw Merlin leaning against the car.Merlin looked at Father Paul and the nuns behind him, and he said, "It looks like you're in trouble, Father, do you need help?"
”"Thank you, Merlin, but this is an internal matter in St.
Matthew's Church..."
The priest politely declined Merlin, he didn't seem to want Merlin to be involved in this matter, and Merlin didn't insist, he pointed to the car behind him: "It's night, and the security in Hell's Kitchen is terrible."
At the very least, I can give you a ride. ”—————————————————"Here it is, thank you, Merlin. ”Merlin pulled over to the side of the road, and Father Paul unbuckled his seatbelt and thanked Merlin again.In the darkness of the night, he led the nuns to a nearby apartment building.Merlin sat in the car and lit a cigarette, and on the way here, Merlin had already listened to the chattering young nuns tell him what had happened.Next to the orphanage of St.
Agnes is a monastery with many sincere believers, and some young girls who have graduated from the church school and are assigned to become nuns here.On weekdays, they are responsible for cleaning the church, occasionally serving and helping Father Paul organize the congregation every Sunday.And in the convent, there was a young nun named Maggie, who was a lively, somewhat rebellious maiden.She would often sneak out of the convent with other nuns and play around.But 1 year ago, the rebellious Sister Maggie met a boxer named Jack, and I don't know if she was carried away by love, in short, in one night, Sister Maggie said goodbye and moved in with Jack.Father Paul was furious, and he tried several times to bring Maggie back to the convent, but was stopped by the brutal Jack, which slowly disappointed Father Paul, and eventually, he stopped trying to save Sister Maggie's soul.But just the other day, a good friend of Sister Maggie went to visit her and found that Sister Maggie was in a bad condition.In 1992, research on postpartum depression had yielded results, but for people who have faith, or have had faith, postpartum depression is easily misunderstood.That instinctive depression can aggravate their inner self-blame and even push them to the brink of suicide.And Sister Maggie, who had just given birth, was in such a bad state.Her friend could not bear to see Maggie suffer in this way, so he begged Father Paul to take Maggie back to the convent.That's how it happened."
It's self-inflicted."
Merlin was smoking in the car, and he opened the window to let the smoke go.Merlin has no mercy on Sister Maggie's plight, as Vico once told him that everyone has to bear the consequences for their choices.In Merlin's opinion, Maggie is a girl who has gone astray and deserves to be punished, but she is indeed lucky to have a group of friends who have been helping her."
What are you doing in my house?
Get out!
”Just as Merlin finished smoking and started the car to leave, he suddenly heard a noisy and angry shout from the apartment, mixed with the sound of smashing things, which made Merlin stop driving.He thought about it, opened the car door, and walked into the apartment.At this time, in the apartment, Jack, a boxer who rushed back after hearing the news, was bumping into the priest and nun who were about to take his wife, and the grumpy guy did not listen to the priest's explanation, he grabbed the priest by the collar and began to beat him.Poor Father Paul had already been punched in the face, and he had always been convinced by reason, and now he could not have any more reason when he met this arrogant fellow.But the priest was still in front of the fearful nuns, and he couldn't let Jack hurt them.Seeing that Jack was about to punch the priest a second time, the terrified nuns couldn't help but scream.At the moment when the fist fell, a hand reached out from behind his back, but it caught it steadily, and freed the priest from the boxer's bondage.Merlin, who rushed into the room, shook his hand and pushed the angry boxer back a few steps.He glanced back at the priest with a bloody nose and said, "Father, take the nun with you."
I'll talk to him. ”"Who are you?"
Jack glared angrily at Merlin in front of him, and in all fairness, this boxer did have a handsome appearance.Coupled with the fact that he was engaged in a profession that added a lot of masculinity to him, it is no wonder that he was able to charm the little nun who would rather abandon her faith and live with him and have children.But at this time, Sister Maggie's mental state was obviously abnormal, her eyes were glazed, and she did not care about what was in front of her.Her newborn son was crying heartbreakingly in the cradle beside the bed, but it still didn't catch her attention.Seeing Sister Maggie being picked up by several other nuns and helped out of the room, Merlin looked back and looked at the boxer, the disdain in his eyes even worse.Merlin caught Jack, who tried to get past him and stop the nuns.His fingers clasped tightly around Jack's wrist like a vice, and he said to Jack, "Lady Maggie is obviously in pain with you, Jack, let her go where she is to go." ”"Bastard!
That's my wife!
”Jack threw a punch into Merlin's cheek, but with a flick of Merlin's wrist, the violent boxer was thrown to the ground.It really shouldn't be bullying an ordinary person with the power of super serum, so Merlin took a few steps back and blocked the doorway, and he said to Jack, who got up from the ground, "Is she really your wife?"
Have you ever registered your marriage with her?
What about the ring on your finger?
Don't lie to me!
Jack, you're just taking her as your own bond!
I should have called the police and thrown you bastard in jail!

”"Nonsense!
I love her, and she loves me!
You hell-deserving bastards!
”Jack roared and pounced again, and this time Merlin didn't dodge again, dodging Jack's punch and slapping him in the face.The punched boxer was dizzy, he took a step back and sat on the ground, half of his face swollen."
If you really love her, how could Lady Maggie ask her friend to take her back?"
Merlin crouched down, reached out, and pressed Jack to the corner with one hand, and said, "Obviously, she doesn't feel happy to be here."
Jack, I don't know if you're a good person or a bad person, but if you really think you love her, please don't act like an asshole, okay?
”Jack struggled, he glared at Merlin, "Maggie is just sick, as long as she's sick, everything will be fine."
Let me go!
”Merlin stared at Jack, who shook his head and stood up.Jack got up from the ground, but instead of attacking Merlin, he walked to the side of the bed and carefully picked up his crying son.In this room, the child's crying gradually subsided.Looking at Jack's gentle figure holding the child, Merlin suddenly felt that perhaps, the man in front of him was not as hateful as those nuns said.After several minutes, Jack returned the sleeping child to the cradle.He looked at his room a little blankly, then lowered his head and began to clean up the mess in silence.Merlin stood at the door, looking at the man who seemed to accept everything, and after a dozen seconds, Merlin said, "Father Paul is a good man, you shouldn't hurt him." ”"Heh, in my eyes, he's just a villain who forcibly took my wife!"
Jack gritted his teeth and said, "My child lost his mother, and it's all your fault!"
”"No, he didn't lose his mother."
Merlin looked at the child in the cradle and said, "If you really love Lady Maggie, maybe when she recovers, you can persuade her to come back."
Propose to her in a dignified manner, instead of deceiving the little girl with romance. ”"Of course I do!
I don't need you to teach me!
”Jack held the broom viciously, and he said to Merlin, "I don't want to see you again, get out!"
”Merlin turned around and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he said in a ghostly manner, "Your boy is cute, Jack, what's his name?"
”Jack didn't want to pay attention to Merlin, the villain.But eventually, the lonely man sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at his son, his eyes full of pain and tenderness, and he whispered, "Matt." ”"I named him Matt.""
Matt.
