Peter is a priest, not a pastor. Therse two are from different sectors.
I also think John was already hung but was brought down while he was still able to be recuperated. This may explain how he thought he was supposed to be dead when he woke up in bed. Saving him prior to hanging could have resulted to the public knowing he's alive and couldn't have supported his fainting and waking up inside the church.

THANKS, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT LOLOLOLOL! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I don't think John was hung then resuscitated, a lot doesn't add up. When a person is hung, their neck usually snaps. The possibility of resuscitating them is very rare. If they manage to survive then they face numerous complications, even possible death again. So why isn't John's neck snapped? How is he alive? Why can he waltz around like nothing afterward?
If your words are true then the author made this part of the story unrealistic... though the majority of this story is unrealistic, isn't it? (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Thanks for your comment!!! I appreciate it!!! (⌒▽⌒)
I see some people confused so let me explain the story so far.
The pastor is named Peter. He works at a church while taking care of orphaned children. The serial killer was one of the many children who grew up in the church. His name is John. Since John was a small boy, it's clear he's had... issues. Serial killers lack human emotions which is why they can do what they do. However, we see that John loves/cares for Peter.
Does Peter love John? I am not sure. Though he definitely cares for him. It's why he saved him and took him to hide in the church when he was going to be hanged. Even had an editor lie in the newspaper about John's execution (ch 8).
Now onto Penny. In the beginning, it's revealed that Peter is giving children to a p*dophile in exchange for profitable articles about the church. He asks John for help in taking the next child: Penny. John kills the poor boy. Why? He wanted to provoke Peter as he has done since he was a child—Peter says this.
The most recent chapter is taking us through the old days of John and Peter. Something happened between them that led to John completely losing it (ch 5). Peter abandoned John when he was 16... or so John says in chapter 5. I believe Peter was the one keeping him "controlled" until that event, which hasn't been revealed yet.
