Father Abraham was no longer at the Church entrance. Norton looked away, feeling a strange sense of unease.
"Nothing has ever made me feel so inferior, even worse than a rat! What on earth has Father Abraham been doing? How did he become such a piece of trash?"
Although he felt that Father Abraham was rubbish, this was the first time he had seen such a strange change in Church personnel.
Norton stood up and, with faltering steps, pretended to be a beggar as he walked toward the back of the Church.
He wanted to climb in and see Father Abraham.
Norton approached the back of the Church, carefully surveyed the surroundings, and then, as before, climbed the Church's high wall using the same method as a dragon swimming on the wall.
Norton was only there to observe Father Abraham's unusual behavior, so Norton didn't jump down. Instead, he used the high wall to climb up and look for Father Abraham, who had already entered the Church.
"Father!" The two Church knights guarding the door respectfully greeted Father Abraham as he approached.
"Hmm!" Father Abraham suppressed his fear and unease, as well as his guilt and confusion towards God, and snorted in his usual manner.
The stench in the air of Lino City, mixed with a faint fragrance of blood, wafted from the direction of the two Church knights. He could even feel that he could hear the sound of blood gushing from beneath their strong Church.
A strong longing rose in Father Abraham's heart, causing him to involuntarily swallow hard.
"Gurgle!"
Feeling the growing urge within him, Father Abraham quickly took a step, wanting to leave this place to quell his inner thirst for blood.
As he stepped into the Church grounds, his anxiety grew.
As a priest, his rank was high enough to know some of the Church's secrets.
Now that things have come to this, how could he not understand that he must have become a species similar to Vampire!
The reason it is described as similar is because the species he transformed into is completely different from the Vampire defined by the Church.
Currently, the only thing they have in common is their need for blood. Therefore, he still cannot be sure whether he has become Vampire or some other mysterious creature.
He took such a great risk to come to Church Church this time in order to find deeper theories about Vampire and the Church's subsequent research, in order to determine what he had actually become.
Father Abraham entered the Church and crossed the wall, but instead of heading straight for the main hall as usual, he tried to walk in a more secluded area, constantly paying attention to his position and avoiding areas with a strong religious atmosphere.
For example, a confessional or an oratorio.
These places either contain images of God or decorations representing God's holiness. The former can effectively harm and locate Vampire, while the latter can directly burn and frighten Vampire.
The way to kill Vampire is to nail this cross into Vampire heart.
Father Abraham wondered if it was because of the story in " The Ascension " that God was nailed to the cross Shenyin divine retribution, which caused the cross, as a religious object, to be tainted with God's holiness, thus enabling it to inflict real damage on Vampire. But this did not prevent him from taking precautions and avoiding such things to avoid harming himself.
It must be said that having access to more information does have its advantages.
If Norton had possessed such broad knowledge, he wouldn't have been burned and located by the image of God upon entering the Holy Lord City.
Father Abraham arrived at the entrance to the side chapel, where the Church knights standing at the door immediately greeted him respectfully. Father Abraham then went inside.
"What a man!" Norton, who was crouching on the wall, was filled with admiration!
Norton had been lurking in Lino City for so many years, coming and going to the Church so many times, yet to this day, he dared not enter the Church's main hall, fearing that he would be burned to ashes by the paintings of God inside.
It's truly admirable that Father Abraham was so bold as to enter the chapel during a rebuttal.
Norton lay prone on the wall, waiting quietly.
Not long after, Father Abraham, now holding a few Church books, reappeared in Norton's sight and then returned the way he had come.
It's worth mentioning that books made of human skin seem to be used only in the Holy Lord City, which has a strong religious atmosphere. In the Lino City, books are written on a more primitive type of paper similar to papyrus, while those of higher status use parchment.
It seems that the Church Holy Lord City has always been a leader in terms of moral depravity.
Norton stared intently at Father Abraham's figure, then quietly crouched down from the wall, pretending to be a beggar, trembling as he sniffed the air, and followed Father Abraham to his home.
The cellar of Father Abraham's house.
"Pat-pat, pat..." With the sound of footsteps, Father Abraham reappeared in the cellar.
The dimly lit cellar remained exactly as it had been when he left that morning. The corpse of the servant he had sucked to death was still hanging there, already beginning to stiffen.
Father Abraham placed the books he was holding on the table in the cellar, completely unaware that after he entered the cellar, a figure followed him closely, clinging to the cellar ceiling like a gecko, hanging upside down, before disappearing into the darkness of the cellar.
Two scarlet eyes flickered in the darkness, fixed intently on Father Abraham's position.
Just as Norton had thought, he didn't want Father Abraham to notice him, so that even if he crawled over his head, he wouldn't notice.
The stench of blood on the walls reignited Father Abraham's bloodlust, causing his eyes to turn slightly bloodshot.
"No, no, no, no! I can't..." Father Abraham smelled the blood in the air, and felt an increasing itch all over his body. Desire was constantly intertwined in his mind, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
However, his unwavering loyalty to the Holy Church and his despair at becoming Vampire tormented him, making him desperately want to use his steadfast willpower to rid himself of his bloodlust.
Although Father Mia wanted to become Vampire, Father Abraham did not; he would rather be the Pope.
Father Abraham resisted his inner bloodlust, which caused the veins on his forehead to bulge and his face to turn red.
However, the increasingly intense desire caused his eyes to become bloodshot, and even his two front teeth began to grow longer.
His appearance startled Norton, who was lurking behind various instruments of torture.
"Holy crap, Vampire!"
Two scarlet eyes stared in disbelief at Father Abraham, whose mouth was agape, revealing two long, sharp front teeth.
Norton felt as if his entire worldview was about to collapse.
After becoming Vampire, he never imagined that he would ever utter such words of shock about Vampire.
But now, he was truly shocked!
The Father Abraham he sees now looks exactly like the iconic Ferrato Vampire from the Vampire movies he watched in his past life.
"That can't be right. If you're Vampire, then what am I?"
Norton was stunned!
He stared incredulously at Father Abraham, who was struggling to resist his bloodlust, at his two long, pointed front teeth, and for the first time, he questioned his own identity.
Are you Vampire Vampire or am I?
Your Abraham look is more classic than mine, Norton's!
