Chapter 1605 Reminder From God of Reaper
Facing the harvest of the ancient one, Peter really felt that he had nothing to say.
It's just that I found someone very casually and asked, and I was able to really dig out the clues. A retired priest from St. Michael's Church, isn't this the clue they are looking for?
But having said that, Peter still has considerable doubts about Gu Yi's playful attitude. He still didn't want to believe that such a result was obtained through that kind of unscrupulous tarot divination. In contrast, he is more willing to believe that Gu Yi used some other means to make things like what he sees now.
False, everything is false, it's just a cover-up. Peter was still muttering this in his heart, but Gu Yi had already greeted him.
"Don't be dazed, Mr. Parker. We should visit the priest as soon as possible before he rests!"
This sentence reminded Peter, and made him realize what his top priority is now, instead of wasting the world on such trivial matters. This made him couldn't help but patted his face, regained his energy, and then hurriedly caught up with Gu Yi's footsteps.
And soon, the two came to the library and found the librarian named Dannister they were looking for.
The former priest who was holding a book obviously didn't expect that someone would come to his library at this time point, which made him quickly put down the book in his hand, and at the same time pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, watching Looking at the two uninvited guests, he warned them.
"The library is closed. If you are here to borrow or return books, please come during normal working hours. If you are here to make a fortune, then sorry, there is nothing but books here. No. You have come to the wrong place!"
"We're not here for these things. We're here for you, Dennister."
Snapping his fingers in front of the former priest, Peter could clearly see that the former priest's eyes began to become lax. Obviously, Gu Yi had used some kind of hypnosis-like method on him, just like the one he used to deal with the security guard before. He stopped being hostile to the two of them, and at the same time he began to talk to them all.
For this method, Peter didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Because they are not using this method to seek wealth and death, but to use this method to solve the world crisis. With such great righteousness, they are completely able to stand up morally. As for the violation of human rights and privacy, unfortunately, this is not within the scope of their thinking.
Peter thinks he can't do it like Batman in the movie.
In the face of a major worldwide crisis, issues such as human rights and privacy can also be thought of. Even Batman, when fighting the Joker, didn't he still use his urban sonar system that would greatly violate the privacy rights of Gotham citizens?
If you want to be a hero, it is never possible to have the best of both worlds. If you want to save the future of countless people and prevent them from falling into hell-like suffering, you must not care about the gains and losses of one or two individual interests. Sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self, which is not just about the hero himself. Many times, what works for some heroes can also work for others.
Perhaps before, the idealized Peter, who had once harbored naive thoughts, would not have had such thoughts. But now, he has obviously changed his concept and started to learn to be realistic.
After all, this cruel world does not exist in fairy tales, and fairy tales are not what he is after. What he pursues is justice, and it is only justice. For a just cause, he even has the consciousness to sacrifice his own life. In comparison, the little secrets of an ordinary person are, of course, insignificant things.
In short, Peter let Ancient One's behavior go. And Gu Yi also quickly asked the former priest who was confused by him.
"St. Michael's Church, it is said that you used to host alms in it, so I want to ask you, do you know anything about the relationship between this church and Ghost Rider?"
"That's just a legend, something I only heard when I was a child. When I was a child, there was a rumor in Houston that the Ghost Rider, who hunted evil in the dark at night, was inspired by the Lord and converted to St. Mi The story of Caleb Church. The old church at that time was nearby, together with the cemetery under the name of the church. It is so famous that no matter how powerful gangsters dare to set foot here at night, they are afraid of evil spirits Knights are better than being afraid of the police. In fact, I did see the legendary Ghost Rider when I was a child."
"He was burning with flames, riding a horse with only a skeleton skeleton, whizzing past in the night. It is because of him that I believe in the existence of God, and this is why I aspire to be a servant of God. It's just that I really I never thought that this world would turn out like this in the end. The god I believe in never cares about the life and death of human beings, and he cares less about us than those heretic gods. He is a liar, a liar who lied to me all my life."
Speaking of this, the former priest couldn't help but cursed at the god he once served. And this is actually the flaw of this simple method of confusing.
It can indeed make people know everything without saying anything, but it is precisely because of this that it is difficult to control the speed of this speech. Just like now, the priest did say everything he knew, but anyone with a discerning eye could see how much of it was nonsense.
Of course, this wasn't the first time Gu Yi had encountered such a thing. She was already used to dealing with similar problems, so she quickly analyzed the useful parts from these problems. This caused her to interrupt the priest's babbling and at the same time ask him again.
"You said that the old church is near here. Do you mean the train museum next to it?"
"Yes, there was a church there fifty years ago. But City Hall said they were going to move the church and cemetery, so it became a train museum. The new church is two blocks away, and so am I. Worked there for nearly forty years. As for the cemetery, because it was too bad to stay in the city. The people from the city hall moved it to the suburbs. These bloody government bureaucrats. It’s too low. Even the new church is cutting corners, otherwise the place wouldn’t be selling for that much money.”
The former priest was still cursing, but Gu Yi had no intention of continuing to listen. She just snapped her fingers, interrupted the old priest's words, and then whispered to him.
"Go back to sleep, Dannister. You have been busy for too long, and you are almost hallucinating. As for your dissatisfaction with the city hall, I think you can go to the parade to express your opinion. Yes Watching other people complain and not doing anything about it. This behavior is really bad!"
After sending away the former priest with one sentence, Gu Yi took Peter and left here directly. And until this time, Peter was still at a loss.
"Have you figured out where the person we're looking for is? Why do I still feel like I haven't found anything?"
"I've got a little clue, Mr. Parker. Come on, let's continue to draw cards! Tell me about your question, maybe we'll know the answer soon, won't we?"
"What the hell." Looking at the tarot cards lined up in front of him, Peter sighed deeply, and then expressed his problem with the attitude of preferring to believe it or not. "Okay, where are we going to find that guy?"
As soon as the words fell, the new tarot cards were automatically revealed. The card shows the Grim Reaper on a white horse, implying death and rebirth. And looking at this card, Gu Dashou waved his sleeves and said this to Peter.
"I think we have a goal. Let's go, Mr. Parker. Let's go to the cemetery in this city. I think there we can find the answers we need."
"I hope." He had already begun to get used to the muttering style of Master Gu Yi, and he followed her footsteps helplessly. And under the footsteps of the two of them, they soon came to the cemetery in this city.
Like every other cemetery in the world, this is not a place for ordinary people to play and visit. Especially at night, it is naturally more silent and empty here. The tombstones stood there one by one, enough for everyone who walked into it to smell the smell of death. And facing such a place, even a guy like Peter would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
'Are you sure we can find the answer here? I mean, are you sure the guy we're looking for isn't in a coffin under some tombstone? '
"Of course, I'm sure. Don't forget, the death card represents not only the end, but also rebirth. Besides, two hundred years, unless there are some special circumstances, is not enough to make a villain The Spirit Knight is coming to an end."
The reason given by Gu Yi was very sufficient, so even Peter could only temporarily suppress the unbelief in his heart, and at the same time asked her this question.
"Well, since you said so. So where do we start? Are we going to ask these dead people one by one? Seriously, although I have the power of Zatanos, but let the dead people speak , I don’t seem to be able to do this for the time being.”
"It hasn't reached the point where the dead need to speak, Mr. Parker. Don't forget, there are still night watchmen in the cemetery."
