Chereads / Exorcist of the American Nightmares / Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Danger

Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Danger

As soon as they entered, Saxon and Amelia felt as if they had walked into a common marketplace, greeted by a very simple atmosphere.

The followers, dressed in colorful clothes, were scattered around, each forming a group and praying together.

In addition to this, some followers stood around the outskirts of the pews, whispering and talking among themselves.

But one thing they all had in common was their gaze fixed on a priest standing in the middle of the room, below the podium.

He was a middle-aged priest with a face marked by time and a rather slim figure.

Since it was morning, the priest was leading a prayer, radiating a distinct aura.

"In the name of God, we begin our prayer.

Heavenly Father, we gather before you at this moment to offer our heartfelt prayers."

All the followers made corresponding gestures along with his will.

Seeing this, Saxon and Amelia exchanged a knowing look.

They communicated with just a look, both understanding one thing:

"Wait until the prayer ceremony ends."

Following their instinct, the two found the most inconspicuous spot in the corner to sit down and quietly watch.

During the wait, they did not talk to each other or engage in any other conversation. Instead, they followed the followers in closing their eyes and clasping their fists in prayer.

This was their way of showing respect.

When the time was about right and the prayer ceremony was nearing its end, they exchanged glances and smiled understandingly, not asking each other what they had been praying for.

"It's over; let's go ask." Amelia said with a smile.

"Okay." Saxon glanced deeper into the room and noticed the robed priest stopping to listen to the followers' confessions.

"Let's go."

Saying that, Saxon took Amelia's hand and slowly walked towards the priest's location.

When they arrived, they deliberately waited a bit for the priest to finish his conversation with the followers before approaching.

What surprised Saxon and Amelia was that the priest seemed to know they were coming.

"You don't seem to be followers of the Lord?"

As he said this, under Saxon's surprised gaze, the priest smiled and added, "Although you've been earnestly participating throughout, did you specifically come to find me?"

Saxon instinctively looked at Amelia, who nodded slightly. Saxon then said, "Excuse me, are you Father Matti?"

Father Matti's eyebrows twitched slightly: "If there's no other church in Bangkok called Yellow Bridge Church, then I must be the only one called Father Matti here."

Confirming the priest's identity, Saxon didn't beat around the bush: "Hello, Father Matti, my name is Saxon, and this is my girlfriend, Amelia."

Amidst Father Matti's nod and his curious gaze, Saxon continued.

"We were sent here by Father York. He said if we had any questions, we could come to you."

Saxon specifically looked at Father Matti in front of him, noticing a hint of helplessness mixed with reminiscence on his face.

"Father York also said that you have been preaching in Thailand for a long time and are very knowledgeable about things here. Asking you would definitely be right."

Cautiously saying this, Saxon noticed Father Matti shake his head, smiling, "Indeed, only York would say such things. I've just stayed here longer, that doesn't make me an expert. There's a lot I don't know, you might have been misled by him."

Saxon was momentarily stunned, while Amelia remained composed.

Sensing Saxon's change in demeanor, Father Matti suddenly shifted the conversation, looking deeply at Amelia and then smiling, "Of course, since York referred you, if you have any questions, there are still some things I can answer. Even if you encounter any trouble in Thailand, I can offer help."

His brief words conveyed a strong sense of capability, making Saxon and Amelia feel the power behind them.

Saxon was unsure how to respond, only recalling the seemingly unchanging Father York.

It was Amelia who spoke first: "Father Matti, we haven't encountered any trouble. We just want you to help us identify the authenticity and the level of danger of this."

Saying that, Amelia, under Father Matti's gaze, took out the organized documents from her bag and handed them over.

"We are responsible for a paranormal live stream show and are invited to shoot there."

Father Matti's expression became serious as he looked at Amelia, accepting the documents.

"Miss Amelia, can you see something others can't?"

The moment he asked, Saxon immediately focused on his girlfriend.

Amelia did not hide it: "Yes, Father Matti. That's why I personally oversee it, to ensure the safety of the filming team."

After Amelia spoke, she glanced at a bewildered Saxon, her eyes filled with apology.

"No wonder, seeking fortune and avoiding disaster." Father Matti revealed an understanding look, having already noticed Amelia's uniqueness: "This kingdom is indeed different from ours; it's wise to be cautious."

Saying that, Father Matti did not immediately look at the documents but slowly put them away, glanced around at the church's followers, and then turned to walk slowly towards a side passage.

"Come with me."

Saxon and Amelia exchanged glances and followed.

They followed Father Matti through the side passage to a room.

The room's layout was simple, with a bed, chairs, and a bathroom, etc.

It appeared to be a living space.

"This is where I usually rest."

Seeing their observation, Father Matti casually explained and gestured towards the chairs: "Sit. Let me review your documents first, and then I'll give you the answers you seek."

"Okay, Father."

Hearing this, Saxon and Amelia took their seats opposite the priest.

In their view, Father Matti began to unfold the documents and read through them.

Unexpectedly, the priest's calm expression quickly turned into a frown as he began to read.

Compared to Amelia, who was also observing closely and frowning, Saxon cautiously asked, "Father Matti, is there a problem with the documents?"

"No, there's no problem with the documents. It's just that the place you're going to is Linnie's house?" Father Matti shook his head, put away the documents in front of them, and said with a serious tone, "If it's Linnie's house, my advice is that it's very dangerous. You don't need to go there; you must stop here."
