Chapter 151 Chris
Morgan strode to the statue, squatted down, and looked closely.
He reached out to touch the stains, then pulled his hand back, afraid of damaging something.
"What...what are these things?"
Father Iller:
'
""
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"It must have been done by... some naughty little kid."
He hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.
"He's still young, the Lord will forgive him."
Morgan didn't reply. He continued to examine the statue, his gaze shifting from the stains to the three circular blank spaces in the middle of them.
"what?"
He raised his hand and pointed to the blank spaces.
"Is there anything else here? Was it thrown away?"
Father Iller's expression stiffened for a moment.
Of course there is something.
Those are the three cones.
It's still lying in the corner.
But he did not answer the question.
"Can it be repaired?"
"sure."
Morgan stood up, dusted off his hands, and laughed heartily.
"Leave it to me."
He turned around, walked to the two boxes, squatted down, and opened one of them.
The box wasn't big, but when you opened it, it was packed full of tools.
Chisels, all sizes, pointed, flat, semi-circular, and toothed.
Hammers, three in total, large, medium, and small sizes.
There was also an axe, a knife, a file, and some other things that Father Iller couldn't name.
Morgan picked out a file from the pile and weighed it in his hand.
"I brought everything."
He stood up and glanced at the statue again.
"But it's a bit difficult to restore it to its original state."
Father Iller's heart skipped a beat.
"What do you mean?"
"These stains have seeped in."
Morgan pointed to the black spots with the handle of his file.
"To remove it completely, you have to grind this layer off."
He paused.
"This makes the statue smaller than before."
Father Iller clutched his heart.
His face turned pale again.
Chen Yuan reacted quickly and caught him.
Morgan was also startled. He dropped his file and rushed over, helping Chen Yuan to support the old priest on either side.
"Are you alright, Father Iller?"
"No...it's nothing..."
Father Iller was panting heavily, his face as white as paper.
"Small size is fine... small size it is..."
He swallowed hard.
"How much will it cost in total?"
It's much cheaper than replacing the statue directly, right?
Morgan paused for a moment, then laughed.
"It's free."
He released Father Iller's hand, stepped back, and looked at the statue.
"Consider it my contribution to the Lord."
He turned around, looked at Father Iller, and blinked.
"Please don't be upset that I often don't attend Mass."
Father Iller caught his breath, and his complexion slowly regained some color.
He nodded and gave Morgan a tired smile.
"The Lord will remember your merits."
Morgan chuckled, picked up a file, and walked to the statue.
He glanced at Father Iller.
"Father Iller, when are you retiring?"
That's a completely unrelated question.
But Father Iller understood.
The way he looked just now really made it seem like he was about to kick the bucket at any moment.
The old priest glared at him irritably, then looked at Chen Yuan.
"I'll teach him and then go home to retire."
"In that case, Chen, you need to grow up quickly!"
Morgan laughed and began working on the statue with a file.
"Hiss—hiss!"
The sound of a file scraping against a stone surface echoed in the warehouse.
Morgan said casually as he worked.
"Kids these days are really strange."
Father Iller didn't speak, he just looked at him.
Morgan filed it a few more times, without looking up, and said...
"Let's not talk about this statue. Chris's daughter has also been having some problems lately."
He raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan.
"Chris is a single mother in our neighborhood, and she's a famous actress."
After saying that, he lowered his head again and continued filing.
Father Iller frowned.
"What's wrong with her daughter lately?"
"I don't know either."
Morgan shook his head, his hands continuing to move.
"They say Chris's daughter has recently developed a mental illness, is irritable, swears a lot, and even urinates in public."
""
He sighed.
"I think this is definitely related to Chris being too busy."
"How can a single mother have the energy to both film and raise a child?"
Father Iller was silent for two seconds, then raised his hand and made the sign of the cross on his chest.
"May the Lord bless Chris and her family."
Chen Yuan stood to the side, watching the statue and watching Morgan's file slowly grind away the stains, when suddenly he opened his mouth.
"What if it's the devil's doing?"
Father Iller:
'
'
"Father Iller, I think you should go and take a look. There might be an exorcism ritual to perform."
Father Iller:
'
'
Morgan stopped using the file in his hand.
He looked up at Chen Yuan and paused for two seconds.
Then he laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha-
"6
Laughter echoed through the warehouse, startling the sparrow that had just flown back, causing it to flutter its wings and fly away again.
"Chen, you're actually quite a funny guy!"
He laughed and shook his head, and the file in his hand started moving again.
"A devil? Hahahaha!"
Chen Yuan:
'
""
Father Iller's eyes showed a hint of disdain.
He glanced at Chen Yuan, his gaze sweeping across Chen Yuan's face with a "Are you serious?" look.
His lips twitched slightly downwards, but he quickly regained his kind old priest demeanor.
But he had already complained about it a hundred times in his mind.
I initially thought this young man was just naive and inexperienced, mistaking pranks for evil.
Looking back now, it wasn't just a lack of experience; it was actually more old-fashioned than I was.
No, they're way more old-fashioned than me!
At least I'm keeping up with the times and know that we should trust science these days.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, traveled directly back to the 16th century.
The afternoon sun slanted into the church, casting golden streaks on the ground.
Father Iller was tidying up the candlesticks on the altar, while Chen Yuan was cleaning the aisle between the chairs.
The two were busy with their own things, and neither of them spoke.
The church door was pushed open.
.
A woman wearing large sunglasses walked in.
At first, Father Iller did not recognize who he was.
She was wearing a beige trench coat, her hair was tied up at the back of her head, and she was completely covered up.
The sunglasses were too big, covering half of his face, leaving only a pointed chin visible.
He thought he was just an ordinary believer who came to pray or confess.
But after the woman entered the church, she did not sit down on the pews or go to the confessional; instead, she walked straight toward him.
Father Iller put down his candlestick and went to meet him.
"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman didn't speak. She stood in front of Father Iller, looking at him through her sunglasses, then turned to look at Chen Yuan, who was sweeping the floor.
"who is he?"
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just cried, or as if he hadn't had water in a long time.
"He is Chen, the newly arrived priest."
"9
Father Iller explained.
"He will soon take over my position."
The woman remained silent for two seconds.
Then she raised her hand and took off her sunglasses.
Father Iller paused for a moment.
He recognized the face.
