Meanwhile on the street, the support squad took the deadman to the local church in district 2 to say its final prayers and for its burial.
Inside the house, after all their talk, Eiser proposed to go to the graveyard to join the burial ceremony, to which Julia was pretty amused to hear and gave a wicked smile.
Eiser took his bagpack off his shoulders and set itdown on the ground.
"I'll be back soon".
He said, and took off in a hurry even tho he didn't know where the graveyard was.
Standing in the street, wandering where to go, he suddenly noticed a path of blood and decided to go on that path. Following that path for about 20 minutes, Eiser noticed a sudden change in his surroundings, the area he was in before, rough and rotting, full of commercial warehouses and factories with stinky air all around was now suddenly replaced by elegant houses of great architectural designs and even the air quality was better. It seemed as if the he had walked from the dirty slums to a fragrant beautiful garden. It was the change from the fourth district to the second second district.
As soon as Eiser entered the second distrct the blood trail that he was following, vanished. Shocked and charmed by the beauty he walked straight staring at the tall beautiful white houses with green belts infront.
Then suddenly he bumped into five men in blue outfits, which he immediately recognized to be the Police. One of them kept staring at Eiser almost recognizing him from before.
"Who are you kid? Cant you walk straight?"
Said one the 5 Policemen in an enraged manner.
"Now now calm down! Are you lost young man? Can we help you?".
Said the one in the center, the one Eiser bumped into.
"U–umm. I am Sorry officer. Could you tell me the way to the graveyard?".
Said Eiser, abit startled.
"Graveyard you say? Walk down straight from here and you will the church. When you do, go right from there and you will approach the Graveyard".
Said the Police officer in a gentle manner.
"Uhh Thank you so much Officer. Have a nice day!".
Said Eiser completely brightening up, after being treated gently.
"Anytime kid. That's what the Police are for!".
Said the Police officer and walked away with his comrades.
"That's why we love you Seargent!"
"Yeah Wendel Seargent for the Captain!"
Said the Policemen amongst themselves.
After his interaction with those Police officers, Eiser walked straight as they said amd after walking for 20 more minutes he finally reached the Church, standing at its entrance, Eiser closed his eyes and let out a sigh, ridding himself of emotions and then he entered the church with calm composure only to find no one there. He walked past all the pews observing everything and stood on the pulpit just beside the font of holy water with his eyes glued on the slate colored ring on the front wall of the church. The ring on which the people prayed upon. Then suddenly a mysterious blue light like a firefly came out from its body while Eiser is just shocked to witness that light again. He panickingly started to check his body if something was wrong with it but then the light suddenly went towards the ring and vanished. Eiser reached out his hand towards the light but again couldn't get a hold of it. As he reached out his hand he stepped forward and noticed something strange. He noticed that voice his step just made now was different from what it made earlier when he walked up the pulpit. Eiser stomped the groumd again and found the same thing. The sound was echoy as if there was something hollow underneath. Then suddenly Eiser sensed something and immediately turned around as if ready for an ambush.
"The ring is a sacred object, as you might know. It is a symbol of infinte and boundless faith. Its nice to meet you! I am the Priest of this Church, Tuskin. Are you here to replenish your spirits?
A voice came from behind, and upon looking, a man with dark brown hair and a long ponytail with filthy green eyes of a snake wearing the liturgical vestments entered the hall who grinned as he looked at Eiser.
Eiser stood there as Tuskin started to walk towards him and something about that man made Eiser be on his guard.
"Ohh.. Pastor! I was just about to leave. Just had to replenish with the holy water you see. Hahaha. Thank you for coming".
Replied Eiser and stared into the viperous eyes of Tuskin. The talk of thier eyes said something so intense the tongues would never have uttered.
"Come again".
Tuskin's creepy voice said as he watched Eiser walk out of the Church.
Eiser got out of the church and turned back again staring at the giant ring on the roof of the church with eyes full of contempt. He looked at it as if it had stolen something precious from him. Perhaps it was the only thing he looked at with contempt. Then he turned his gaze away and starfed walk again in the direction of the Graveyard.

Tips:
Just like the cross, the holy symbol in this world is a stale colored ring. Which represents boundlessness and infinity.
