That evening, at 9 o'clock.

Merlin's car parked at the entrance of the orphanage. He bought Eric a few new clothes, and at the begging of the children, he bought pizza for the children in the orphanage.

The security guard who had confirmed Merlin's identity did not stop them this time. He helped Merlin take several pizza stacked into the yard. When the children who were supposed to have rested saw Eric's brother get the food back, they immediately shouted in a ball. They also alarmed Father Paul who was praying.

"Sorry, Father."

Merlin said to Father Paul with apologies:

"I just wanted to do something good, but it disturbed your prayers. It shouldn't be."

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Merlin."

Father Paul waved his hand to Merlin, looking back at the children who shared the pizza and laughed, and said to Merlin with a smile:

"The Lord guides us to do good deeds, which is a good deed that should not be scolded. Just next time, you can come over during the day, and the children are still young and eat too much at night, which is bad for their stomachs."

“You are a truly kind man, and the Lord will bless you.”

The priest's words made Merlin smile slightly difficult.

If the Lord of this priest really exists, Merlin hopes that the omnipotent God will help him get rid of the dark power that exists on him.

But it is impossible to think about it. From the moment he started wandering, he knew that these things could only be solved by himself.

"I won't bother you to continue praying, Father, I'll send Eric's things to his room."

Merlin said goodbye to the kind priest, carrying Eric's box and some of the things he bought, and led by Eric, walked towards the children's room.

The St. Agnes Orphanage covers a large area, and the children here have plenty of housing, which can even ensure that 2-4 people live in a room, just like the dormitory of a boarding school. The nuns will also supervise the children's daily lives. At their request, the children here are very careful of hygiene and polite.

"By the way, Eric, where is Little Ada?"

After helping Eric pack up his things, Merlin left him some money and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he pretended to be curious:

"You always say that the kid is cute, and I want to see it too."

"Oh, Ada will probably be asleep now. She should be in the nuns' room, where there is a cradle."

Eric said to Merlin while eating pizza:

"But the nuns are praying, you may not see her."

"Okay, that's a pity."

Merlin shrugged, waved goodbye to Eric, and turned to walk out of the house.

But the moment he walked down the stairs, Merlin spread the dark perception. After confirming that there was no one around, his fingers moved, and the shadow covered his body, allowing him to disappear on the stairs in an instant.

The super serum not only strengthens Merlin's body, but also gives him a stronger manipulation of magic. Now he can not only actively transform into black fog, but also use the shadow cloak to become more delicate.

Merlin secretly tested it at the Secret Service, in a dark environment, his shadow cape could even hide the temperature emitted by his body.

In other words, even infrared observers can no longer capture his figure.

Unfortunately, the detection of sound waves and light, such as sonar or lasers, can still lock its position through shadows.

Merlin walked in the shadows, and he did not alarm anyone, and soon came to the nuns' room. The nuns prayed in the church, and the door of the house was locked, but this did not end.

He took out the special lock-opening tool from his wallet and opened the door in just a few seconds.

He walked into the room step by step and saw the cradle in front of him. As Eric said, the child in the cradle was very well-behaved. Her face was pink and round, and she looked very cute, like a doll.

Merlin stood by the cradle, he took off his frameless glasses and turned on his spiritual vision.

In his eyes, the weak soul of the baby in the cradle was also reflected. Meilin carefully observed the child's soul. After a moment, he put on his glasses again and left the house quietly as Tathagata.

"The child was not possessed by a demon, nor had the power of darkness. It seems that I was thinking too much."

Merlin's uneasiness was finally eliminated.

In fact, when Eric said that Little Ada was in trouble, he thought of himself. He was worried that the child's body would have the same magical power as he did, but now she had not noticed anything, which made Merlin breathe a sigh of relief.

But the moment he walked out of the orphanage, he heard some other sounds in his keen sense of darkness.

It was Father Paul, who seemed to be arguing with several nuns.

"Maggie was not expelled or deviated from the Lord's teachings. She was still kind and sincere. Father, I beg you to save Maggie! She is in a bad situation now."

A nun begged, but Father Paul, who had always been gentle, had a somewhat indifferent answer.

"Maggie turned her oath, child, and in faith and love, she made her own choice, and this path was chosen by herself. I have also advised her that I long to see Maggie return to the Lord's arms than any of you, but she disappointed me."

"Maggie gave birth to a child, Father! Maggie is now living in pain every day, she is very melancholy. She confesses to the cross at home every day, Father! Please give her another chance."

"A nun cannot have a child."

Father Paul said stubbornly:

"That was not allowed by the Lord, and that was also a wrong behavior! Maggie is only 19 years old this year, and that Jack has harmed her!"

Although the priest repeatedly refused, the nuns were still begging.

"Father, please don't treat Maggie as a nun, just treat her as someone in need. Her situation is really bad now. I've seen her, and she even tried to commit suicide to make up for her mistakes."

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look with you."

Finally, they seemed to have moved the priests, and just as the priests walked out of the church with the nuns, he saw Merlin leaning against the car. Merlin looked at Father Paul and the nuns behind him, and said:

"It seems you've had a tough thing, priest, do you need help?"

"Thank you, Merlin, but this is an inside matter of St. Matthew's Church"

The priest politely rejected Merlin. He seemed not to want Merlin to participate in this matter, and Merlin did not force him. He pointed to the car behind him:

"It's already evening, and the security in Hell's Kitchen is terrible. At least, I can take you all the way."

—

"It's here, thank you, Merlin."

Merlin parked the car on the side of the road, and Father Paul took off his seat belt and thanked Merlin again. In the night, he led the nuns to an apartment building next to him.

Meilin sat in the car and lit a cigarette. On the way she came just now, Meilin had already heard the chattering young nuns telling the whole story.

Next to the St. Agnes Orphanage is a monastery with many sincere believers. Some young girls are assigned to become nuns after graduating from church schools. On weekdays, they are responsible for the cleaning of the church, occasionally preaching, and helping Father Paul organize Sunday believers' gatherings, etc.

And in the monastery, there is a young nun named Maggie, who is a lively and somewhat rebellious girl.

She would often take other nuns out of the monastery and go around to play.

But a year ago, the rebellious Sister Maggie met a boxer named Jack. I don’t know if she was blinded by love. In short, one night, Sister Maggie left without saying goodbye and moved over to live with Jack.

Father Paul was very angry. He tried to take Maggie back to the monastery several times, but was stopped by the arrogant Jack, which also slowly disappointed Father Paul. In the end, he no longer tried to save Sister Maggie's soul.

But just a few days ago, a good friend of Sister Maggie went to visit her and found that Sister Maggie was in a bad condition.

In 1992, research on postpartum depression has already achieved results, but for people who have faith or have once believed, postpartum depression is easily misunderstood by them. That kind of instinctive depression can aggravate their inner self-blame and even push them to the brink of suicide.

Sister Maggie, who had just given birth, was in such a bad state.

Her friend couldn't bear to see Maggie suffer such pain, so she begged Father Paul to take Maggie back to the monastery.

This is the whole story of this matter.

"I'll suffer myself."

Merlin was smoking a cigarette in the car, and he opened the window to let the smoke dissipate.

Merlin has no mercy on Sister Maggie's experience, just as Vico, the underwater man, once told him that everyone has to bear the consequences for their choices. In Merlin's opinion, the girl Maggie should be punished if she goes astray, but she is indeed lucky to have a group of friends who have been helping her.

"What are you doing at my house? Get out!"

Just as Merlin finished smoking and started the car and was about to leave, he suddenly heard noisy and angry shouts from the apartment, mixed with the sound of hitting things, which made Merlin stop driving.

He thought about it, then opened the car door and walked into the apartment.

At this time, in the apartment, Jack, the boxer who heard the news, was hitting the priest and nun who wanted to take his wife away. This irritable guy didn't listen to the priest's explanation at all. He grabbed the priest's collar and started beating him.

Poor Father Paul had already been punched in the face. He had always convinced people with reason. Now when he met this arrogant guy, there was no reason to say.

But the priest still stood in front of the fearful nuns, and he could not let Jack hurt them.

Seeing Jack was about to punch the priest in the second punch, the frightened nuns couldn't help but scream. At the moment the fist fell, a hand that came from behind steadily caught the fist and freed the priest from the boxer's restraint.

"Bang"

Merlin, who rushed into the room, shook his hand and pushed the angry boxer back a few steps.

He looked back at the priest whose nose was bleeding and said:

"Father, take the nun with you. I'll talk to him."

"Who are you?"

Jack stared at Merlin in front of him angrily. To be fair, the boxer did have a handsome appearance. In addition, his career has added a lot of masculinity to him. No wonder he was fascinated by the young nun that he would rather abandon his faith than live with him and have children.

But at this time, Sister Maggie's mental state was obviously abnormal. Her eyes were dull and she ignored everything in front of her. Her newborn son cried heartbrokenly in the cradle beside the bed, but she still failed to attract her attention.

Seeing Sister Maggie being picked up by several other nuns and being helped out of the room, Merlin turned around and looked at the boxer, and the contempt in his eyes became even more serious.

Merlin grabbed Jack who tried to cross him and block the nuns. His fingers were clasped, clasping Jack's wrist like iron pliers, and he said to Jack:

"Ms. Maggie is obviously painful to be with you, Jack, let her go where she should go."
