Personality V: I will save everything

The story after Chapter 572 (7)

“Ah—sneezes!!!”

Accompanied by a loud sneeze, the whole church seemed to be shaken.

"Don't you think it's a little too cold here?" The lawyer complained while rubbing his nose. His voice echoed in the empty church, seeming a little abrupt.

Although it was the lawyer who sneezed, not the gardener, the gardener also felt that the church was getting colder and colder. He couldn't help shivering and complaining in his heart.

This church has been abandoned for a long time and the facilities inside are in disrepair.

Everyone was surprised to find that there was still water in the pipes. After all, in such an abandoned building, having water was something to be thankful for. As for heating, it was out of the question. It was impossible for it to exist.

"Ah--sneezes!" Another sneeze, this time from the doctor. She and the lawyer were both soaked because they had just rolled down the hill.

At this moment, both of them were trembling slightly, obviously overwhelmed by the cold air.

"I think we should find something and try to make a fire," the mechanic suggested.

Her condition was relatively better, only her shoes and trouser legs were wet. But seeing the miserable state of the doctor and the lawyer, she realized that if they did not take quick measures, they might face the danger of hypothermia.

The most dangerous person should be the lawyer. In order to protect the doctor, he was cut so many times and lost a lot of blood. If he gets hypothermia again, his funeral can be held directly in this church.

Just when everyone was trying to find something to live on, suddenly there was a huge thunder outside and the entire church was illuminated.

At the same time, the door of the church suddenly opened, which was like the scene of a monster appearing in a horror story, and it scared the gardener and the mechanic.

"Oh my god, it's raining outside, I feel like I just swam here."

The people who came were the Ripper, the painter, the psychologist and the patient.

The Ripper had originally made an appointment with the painter to come to this abandoned church, and he had to spend a lot of time and effort to finally convince the painter's father.

He told the painter's father that the reason they went out on such a rainy day was to experience for themselves what a real storm was like.

After the Ripper's repeated persuasion, the painter's father finally agreed to their plan, so the Ripper took the painter on the mountain road to the abandoned church.

However, just as they were walking up the mountain road, an accident happened.

The Ripper and the painter unexpectedly met the psychologist and the patient on the road. The weather outside was so bad, with strong winds and heavy rain, that it was impossible to move forward.

So, before they saw the Ripper and the painter, they kept wondering in their hearts: Should we continue to go up the mountain?

Just when they were hesitant, the appearance of Jack and the painter undoubtedly gave them an excellent choice.

Since we are all going to the same place, why not go together? This way we can not only take care of each other but it will also be safer.

So, the four people formed a small group temporarily and walked towards the abandoned church together.

.................................................. ........................

"You are so lucky. The lawyer and the doctor were not so lucky. When the lawyer was halfway up, she met the doctor, and the doctor accidentally stepped on empty air and slid down the mountain road. The lawyer was seriously injured in order to protect her."

Indeed, you can see that there is a bloody scratch on the lawyer's face caused by a branch. Although he has received initial treatment from the doctor, blood is still oozing out. Anyone with eyes should be able to see it.

However, after hearing what the gardener said, the Ripper felt slightly relieved. He thought that the factory director and the lawyer were fighting. If that was true, the Ripper was not sure if he could stop both of them at the same time.

"Stop talking about this. Do you have any matches with you? The lawyer and the doctor are almost freezing to death."

The factory manager really asked a good question. Let's take a look. First of all, neither the psychologist nor the patient smokes, so they don't have matches.

As for the Ripper, although he smoked, he was not addicted to nicotine. He only smoked one or two cigarettes occasionally to relieve stress, so he didn't always carry matches with him.

It is even more impossible for the painter to have matches on him, as the smell of tobacco would enter the oil painting, which he does not like.

What about the factory director and the gardener? The factory director used to smoke, but he quit for the gardener, so he didn't have any matches.

As for the gardener, she is even less likely to smoke, and the same goes for the doctor.

Finally, a circle......

"I don't have any matches with me, but I have a lighter. But I'm not sure if it will still work after being in the water for so long. You can take it out and try it. It's in my coat pocket."

The reason why the lawyer never said that he had a lighter on him was because, although lighters are more waterproof than matches in a sense, you can't resist throwing them into water.

The mechanic easily took out the lighter from the lawyer's coat pocket, then tried it in his hand. Fortunately, the lighter still worked.

"In that case, the lawyer and the doctor will stay here. The lawyer is injured and cannot move around easily, so the doctor will stay to help take care of him. And if anyone else comes, please take care of them.

The rest of us will go and look for something to burn.

I'll go outside and bring in the iron bucket. Just now when I was at the church door, I saw an abandoned iron bucket, so I'll use that."

After the Ripper assigned everyone what to do, everyone got busy.

.................................................. ........................

It was raining heavily outside, and the dark clouds outside covered the sky like it was the end of the world.

anyway,

Although the Ripper said there was an abandoned iron barrel outside, he only noticed it in the instant when it was illuminated by the lightning just before opening the door. The Ripper didn't know where the iron barrel was exactly, so he could only look for it slowly in the rain.

.................................................. ........................

"Are you just the two of you?"

It was because the Ripper ran into the woods to look for the iron barrel that he happened to miss the reporters who entered the manor.

After opening the door, the reporter and the novelist were surprised to find that only the lawyer and the doctor were there, because just in the afternoon, the gardener and the factory manager said they had gone to the church. Where were they?

"It's too cold and it's raining heavily outside. Let's go find something to burn."

Then again, the excuses the novelist and the reporter used to leave Delos Manor were the same as the mechanic's, that they all wanted to stay overnight at a friend's house, while Deer Head and Crazy Eyes came along to prevent them from getting into any danger if they went out in such heavy rain.

"You really found a cliché excuse." The lawyer couldn't help but complain.

"Then again, we haven't asked you how you got in touch with the psychologist and the patient."

Is there any need to ask this?

It's all because of Mesmer.

But this time is different from the last time. They have a qualified lawyer, sufficient evidence and a......

"A fair judge."

"Hello, recorder, we thought you were not coming."

Just at this moment the recorder opened the door of the church, walked in, and continued what the lawyer said.

.................................................. ........................

When the recorder woke up, he thought everything had returned to the starting point.

Anyway, it's like that again.

Isn't it just one more time?

For justice...she can give everything.

However, it was at the dining table that she realized things had already taken a turn for the better.

Her father took out two admission letters, one for her brother and one for the recorder.

The notice that was originally given only to my brother has now become two copies.

"What's the matter? My dear, our little judge, haven't you always wanted to go to this law school? I spent a lot of time talking to the principal there and finally got two copies. You can go pack your luggage with your brother in a while and see if there is anything you want to take with you."

"Let's go together, Cogan."

.................................................. ........................

Being able to go to the college of his dreams was enough to surprise the recorder.

However, what surprised her even more was that her brother had changed too.

During the Messmer trial,

Her brother did it justice.

Even then, Messmer had bribed the recorder's brother into marrying him his daughter Bessie.

Because of this, the recorder's brother was depressed for a long time. He felt sorry for his wife, but he could not ignore the crimes committed by Mesmer.

Fortunately, Bessie understood him very well and was willing to forgive him. Or rather, Bessie had already sued her father once but failed. Fortunately, this time she met a fair judge.

The recorder's brother was also very happy because he met a wife who was willing to support and love him forever.

(Since then, the recorder seldom went home, because she didn’t want to see her brother and sister-in-law hanging out together all day. (=_=))

.................................................. ........................

"It seems that our lives have changed, hasn't it? ..... I finally found this iron bucket, and I am soaked."

The Ripper dragged the shabby iron barrel with a tired look on his face, and every step seemed a little difficult. His body had long been soaked by rain, and his wet clothes clung to his body, as if he had just been fished out of the lake.

"Are you a ghost?" the lawyer couldn't help but say.

The sight of the Ripper was truly unbearable, his hair completely soaked by the rain, sticking wetly to his face and neck.

The long hair that should have been neatly combed now looked messy, as if it had been ravaged by a strong wind.

To make matters worse, his clothes were soaked by the rain. The wet fabric stuck tightly to his body, outlining his tall and thin figure.

Water droplets continued to condense on his clothes, and then slowly slid down his cheeks, neck, and the brim of his hat, one drop, two drops, three drops... These water droplets were like the blood flowing in his body, making people shudder.

In this dark rainy night, the Ripper's figure looked so strange, as if he was really a demon from hell.

"It's not funny at all," the Ripper said a little speechlessly, "I'm almost dying in the rain outside."

At the same time, others who went to look for burnable materials also returned one after another.

Although this was an abandoned church, after searching, they found very little that could be burned.

There's nothing they can do about it, mainly because they don't have the tools. Although there are quite a lot of wooden cabinets here, they can't dismantle them, so it's the same as having nothing.

However, the factory director did kick a few chairs into pieces and used them as firewood.

"Are you sure the lighter can light a fire?"

This is a good question. Although the factory manager has broken the wood into pieces as much as possible, it is still difficult to light a whole piece of wood with just a small flame from a lighter.

In desperation, the gardener had to turn his attention to the tattered curtains.

She reached out without hesitation, grabbed a corner of the curtain and pulled it hard. With a "crash", the curtain was pulled down.

"Use this. It burns quickly and should be able to be used as a fire starter."
