After receiving Dylan's ssage about a possible Transcendent case in the middle-class neighborhood, Bishop Walls imdiately set off with a team of Transcendents for 98 West 10th Street.
The reason why he had gone personally was naturally because of Bryan. Dylan had inford that although the serial killer was dead, Bryan had received heavy injuries. And Bryan was Detective Watson's only student.
Bishop Walls knew very well how much Detective Watson doted on Bryan. Every ti he would co to the Church and et him, he would always show off his student's progress.
Therefore, he felt that he had to take so responsibility so as to continue to foster a healthy relationship with Detective Watson.
Soon, three carriages stopped in front of the two-storied, red-colored building on 98 West 10th Street. Bishop walls stepped off the carriage and led the team of Transcendents to enter the house.
The main door of the house was already opened, however, it had three bullet holes in it. Bishop Walls looked at it for a mont and then proceeded to head inside.
After entering, what ca into his view was a large living room with the tables, chairs, and couches all strewn around and mostly destroyed. There was a small pit towards the center of the living room.
One look and he could figure out that a battle had taken place here. Moreover, there was also so residual spiritual force lingering in the air.
In one of the corners of the living room, near the stairs that led to the basent, Bishop Walls saw a blonde lady in her late teens wearing a white dress standing anxiously. She had a pretty appearance but right now she looked quite miserable.
Half of her blonde hair was covered in blood. Her white dress also had so blood stains on it. Currently, she had her face down as she fidgeted with her fingers, completely unaware of the people that had entered.
Bishop Walls then turned his gaze to the bloodied figure who was sitting beside her. The figure had his back resting against the wall. One of his legs was straightened out while the other was folded.
This figure was naturally Bryan. His face was covered in blood and so was the top half of the suit he was wearing. Currently, he was sleeping soundly.
Bishop walls shook his head and sighed as he thought, 'This kid, every ti I see him he's always covered in blood.'
He turned around and looked at the burly figure who was wearing a grey suit, a black trench coat, and a black top hat and instructed him, "Robert, take your team and take care of the dead body over there."
Robert nodded and replied obediently, "Yes, Father."
Then Robert led a team of six Transcendents to go and investigate what had happened here.
Bishop Walls then looked at the young lady with brown hair and brown eyes wearing white priest clothes of the Church and said, "Livia, co with . You need to treat the kid again!"
This young lady was Priest Livia who had taken care of Bryan after his fight with Johnny more than a month back.
"Did I really need to co here, Father? Bryan looks okay to , to be honest." Priest Livia pursed her lips.
Bishop walls only shook his head and smiled. Then he instructed another young man in his twenties with short brown hair and brown eyes, "Ron, take the girl outside and ask her about what happened."
"Okay," replied Ron. Then he approached the young girl standing beside Bryan.
The blonde young girl was suddenly alard to find so many people entering the house without her notice. But then she saw Bishop Walls and Priest Livia who were wearing the clothes of the Church of Wisdom and sighed in relief.
Ron approached her and smiled amiably, "Young Miss, my na is Ron. Could you please co with outside and explain to what happened to you and how you ended up here?"
The blonde young lady nodded ekly and followed Ron out. After almost experiencing the cold touch of death earlier tonight, she was finally able to relax a little.
Bishop Walls and Priest Livia walked toward the sleeping Bryan. Then the latter crouched down, pointed her right palm at Bryan's face, and muttered, "Heal."
Green light covered her palm and brightly shone on Bryan.
Bryan on the other hand, who was in a slumber suddenly felt his body feel warm and comfortable. The fatigue was gradually diminishing and the injuries he had sustained during the fight were slowly healing.
He weakly opened his eyes and all he could see in his vision was a bright green light. He thought inwardly, 'What is this? Feels so good!'
The green light soon vanished and he saw Priest Livia glaring at him, "You little troublemaker! Why are you always getting beaten up? Hmph, I was about to go get so sleep but was forced to co here to heal you."
Bryan was slightly taken aback. Then he smiled bitterly and replied, "My apologies, Priest Livia. I didn't know the serial killer would turn out to be a Transcendent."
Listening to Bryan apologize, Priest Livia's eyes softened but she still continued to scold, "Hmph! Next ti be more careful. And how the hell can you fall asleep just like that? What if the killer had an accomplice?"
Bryan's expression froze as he thought, 'Fuck! She's right. I'm so stupid. How could I fall asleep?'
Then he replied seriously, "You're right. I'll keep this in mind."
Bishop Walls then ca forth and smiled as he asked Bryan, "Child, are you feeling better now?"
Bryan nodded, "Yes, Father. Thank you for coming at such a late hour."
Bishop Walls shook his head, "It's quite all right. It is our duty to handle Transcendent related cases. In fact, it was wise of you to call us before the police."
Then he added, "Now, Bryan, tell what transpired here tonight."
Bryan nodded his head and then recounted everything that happened tonight, from the beginning of his investigation to finally rescuing the blonde young lady from the basent.
