After Reverend Hake explained the situation to Wayne, he excitedly took his makeup box and planned to show Wayne his exquisite craftsmanship in person.
Wayne was too lazy to move, so he just stayed in the cabin.
In order to welcome Reverend Hake's arrival and give the current pastor a farewell party in advance,
the mayor specially asked someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner at home today.
The main course is said to be a famous delicacy in Kansas - low-temperature slow-roasted smoked beef brisket and pork ribs.
Wayne was also invited to the dinner, so he was waiting for the time to come, and followed the two pastors and Inesa from the church.
He now understood - priests are good at dispelling evil spirits, and exorcists are good at dealing with mutated fallen people.
The division of labor and expertise of the two seem to be inconsistent.
Reverend Hake is a new pastor who has just been transferred to the position. His previous work in the Exorcist Association was similar to logistical support.
So Reverend Huck seems to be in a dilemma...
Compared to the so-called "secret investigation", it seems that his superiors found an excuse for him to be exiled to the frontier.
I feel that the beautiful silver-haired girl Inesa is more reliable.
I have to find a way to get along with her.
It's not that I have any ideas about the beautiful girl with silver hair and white skin, but I mainly want to learn.
There is a small table next to the morgue bed, on which are some of the personal belongings of "Grey Wolf" Freddy.
A dagger, a cigarette box, a roll of "banknotes", and a dozen coins.
There are gold coins, but most of them are copper.
Wayne picked up a gold coin with a face value of ten dollars and played with it.
Nowadays, the official currency officially issued by the United States is actually only metal coins: the face value of gold coins is mainly ten dollars and five dollars, and there are several types of silver coins, such as one dollar, fifty cents, twenty-five cents, five cents, etc., and copper coins are all one cent.
However, compared with heavy coins, people still prefer to carry and use "banknotes" issued by banks - banks promise that banknotes can be exchanged for gold and silver coins of corresponding denominations at any time - although the official name and specific meaning are not exactly the same, people just call banknotes "banknotes" and use them.
So the most valuable thing in the remains of "Grey Wolf" Freddy is not the gold coins, but more likely the roll of paper money that seems to be inconspicuous.
"Hu——"
A gust of cold wind blew over, blowing out the candle next to the body and closing the door of the cabin.
The cabin suddenly became dark, and only the door frame and gaps were still slightly illuminated.
Wayne turned his head and saw that his pupils shrank, and he almost gasped.
The gold coin in his hand fell directly to the ground.
I saw a lot of black air that seemed to be there and not there, steaming out from the body of "Grey Wolf" Freddy, and then gradually condensed into a ball above the body.
What the hell? !
Didn't we agree that as long as the fallen died, the evil spirits would naturally dissipate? !
Then what is this big pile of stuff? !
Wayne pulled out his gun and shot reflexively.
"Bang! Bang!"
He fired two shots in a row, but found that the bullets went straight through the black air, and it seemed that they had no effect on it.
Even the gunshots sounded lower and quieter than usual.
So Wayne found that something was wrong, and without thinking, he ran out the door, and opened his mouth to shout for help.
The kind that saves twelve people in one second.
At this time,
It was as if an invisible hand suddenly grabbed his throat, and Wayne felt that his neck was strangled so tightly that he couldn't make a sound at all.
Then he was carried by a huge force and hit the wall next to him heavily.
With a "bang", the walls and ceiling of the cabin were shaken out of the whole room.
Then came the huge pressure,
which pressed Wayne's torso and limbs firmly against the wall, and spread him into a "big" shape.
The mouth was pried open by a force,
The black gas condensed above the body of "Grey Wolf" Freddy, like a poisonous snake that had finished accumulating strength, with a bunch of "tail gas", it rushed towards Wayne's mouth rapidly.
Seeing this strange thing attacking, Wayne tried desperately to struggle.
But Wayne's resistance was completely ineffective,
As soon as part of the black gas entered his mouth, Wayne felt...
Eh?
It seems to taste pretty good?
It was as if a wonderful taste bloomed on the tip of the tongue,
Rich layers and rich taste, interweaving a complex taste experience, a wonderful sense of satisfaction instantly rushed to the head.
Wayne didn't know what was wrong with him. At this time, not only did he not refuse the continued entry of the black gas, but he wanted to open his mouth wide and try to swallow all the black gas into his mouth.
It was like his knees were hit and his pupils were hit by strong light, and his body naturally reacted uncontrollably.
At this time, it was the black gas that began to struggle, and it seemed to want to escape from Wayne at the same time.
But the black gas seemed to be pulled by some invisible force and was repeatedly pulled back again and again.
The black gas in clumps and bundles was gradually torn apart, and Wayne seemed to be able to taste the subtle changes in its taste and layers while chewing.
The delicious enjoyment triggered a very pleasant emotional response, and the throat naturally responded by swallowing.
Most of the black gas was quickly sucked into Wayne's mouth and melted in his mouth, while the remaining black gas in the cabin began to dissipate on the spot.
Wayne, no longer oppressed by the huge force, began to slide down the wall and fell to the ground from midair.
Then he lifted his abdomen and raised his chin:
"Hiccup~"
...
After a while,
Pastor Hake reappeared at the door of the cabin.
Seeing Wayne slumped against the wall, Pastor Hake quickly put down the makeup box in his hand and walked over to check on Wayne's condition.
Wayne's consciousness was actually awake at this time.
But how to say it, there was a feeling of "I'm too full now"...
I didn't want to move.
"Wayne, Wayne, wake up, what happened?"
Pastor Hake saw Wayne still slumped against the wall and didn't respond, so he panicked.
So he first stretched out his hand and waved it left and right in front of Wayne's face,
then patted Wayne's side face a few times,
finally swung a big bib and was about to hit Wayne's face.
Wayne consciously wanted to raise his hand to block, but he still felt lazy and couldn't do it, so he just tilted his head and lay down along the wall, with his cheek touching the floor.
Pastor Hake found that he couldn't handle it, so he hurried out to call for help: "Inesa! Inesa! Come here quickly, something happened!"
Soon, Father Hake, who had left, took Inesa and rushed back to the cabin.
The two talked and walked, and when they were a little closer, the sound began to reach Wayne's ears.
First, it was Inesa's voice:
"Reverend Hake, didn't I remind you that the fallen in the 'dark' realm are likely to be transformed into evil spirits again after being eliminated, so the bodies need to be kept for observation for at least 24 hours? Why are there ordinary people at the body storage site?"
Reverend Hake's voice was a little panicked:
"I called him here. When I was responsible for collecting the bodies of the fallen before, there were exorcist priests present, and the requirement on the scene has always been that at least two people must supervise each other.
"But I am the only exorcist priest in Blackstone Town now, so I called someone else to accompany me. I just left for a short while to get the makeup box."
Inesa seemed to complain: "Reverend Hake, according to the priest code, even if you leave halfway, you should leave the blessed holy emblem at the scene to suppress the evil spirit."
Reverend Hake was silent for a while, "Inesa, how do you usually deal with this situation? "
Inesa's voice was emotionless:
"When an exorcist makes a mistake in his work and accidentally causes an unrelated person to be infected by a residual evil spirit, a report must be submitted afterwards and the exorcist court or bishops' conference must conduct a compliance review. Depending on the specific circumstances and the severity of the consequences, the handling opinions generally range from "record punishment" to "revoke the exorcist's qualification." "
"I'm not asking you that!"
Pastor Huck seemed even more panicked, looking at a loss, "I want to know how to deal with and handle this situation when it happens on the spot."
The two had already walked to the cabin.
Wayne saw Inesa pick up the special bolt-action rifle in her hand, which looked very impressive, and loaded the bullet:
"Exorcists usually send the victim to medical treatment in time, and then conduct post-event observation and arrange psychological treatment.
"But if it is confirmed that the victim has also been infected and has become a fallen person, and has lost his mind, then according to the practice of the Exorcist Association, he will be "exorcized" again on the spot."
