Chapter 2 : The “First” Purification Night .

Pourrir Slovenia, one of the eight priests of the Roswell Church, the head of the "5th Cross Branch", he is the next target of the "Purification" ... We do not know much about the sin that this man committed, but through the rumors spread about the Church by the people, I have probably figured out more or less.

It's nearly time of the "Purification", we all pray together for the forgiveness of the Cathedral, because all we are doing is dirtying our own hands. I often work alone, dealing with Church requests; not because of being too proud or arrogant about my own abilities, but only because I do not want their hands to be indifferent, because those who have vowed to dedicate their souls to the good of the Church, especially Congregational Forces like me, consider it an act of "defamation" The Catholic Church, deserving of death a thousand times.

"Has everyone been fully prepared? Our first purge will be quite hard. " It was the voice of Sera, a specially trained Priest . It might not have been a fun working with me, but she still looks very excited for this mission. There are also two more people, Yunko and Noz, both about the same age as Sera, they are not mature enough to face the danger ahead, and their hands are not ready to kill. It would be a mistake to bring them into this cruel world too soon, but thinking back, if this was His will, I couldn't do it. Noz came up from behind, picked up a small suitcase, put it down, and patted me on the shoulder: "Strange, so far I still wonder the reason for the mysterious disappearance of the Virtine sisters. I wonder if they are still alive ". I was silent for a while, it seemed uncomfortable, I forgot about the woman and was suddenly reminded. Sera clenched her fist, punched hard on the table surface: "Come on Noz, you don't have to say it again. The Church has sent someone to look for them but has no clue. Everyone grieves, but we can't let it hold on forever! " . I didn't expect her reaction to be so intense, maybe we all have our own differences. I leaned back in the recliner, let out a sigh, then said in a tired voice: "Are you sure you want to go? If you have made up your mind then be mentally prepared. During the "Purification" Ceremony we are nobody; so absolutely not let the past entangle yourself. Always be ready to face death, sacrifice for the future of the Church. Clearly ?!" They all said in unison "Clear!" .

Time to depart. We quietly left the Dormitory in the middle of the night, when the moonlight fell on the dark road ahead ...
