Abyss Express

Jiang Xueming: "Girl, please calm down. Girl."

After Benny woke up, she was like a piece of brown candy, stretching her neck to get closer to Xueming. She acted both scared and excited, as if she recognized Xueming's true identity.

"No no no no, no no no! I recognize you! Has your dream come true? Gunsmith! You're not dead!" Benny excitedly threw herself at the bedside and opened her arms towards Xueming.

Xueming, on the other hand, pretended to be embarrassed and could not avoid it. He pulled the 18-year-old girl's pajamas by the back collar to prevent her from hitting the bedside table.

The old father, Mr. Jamie, felt very embarrassed. He cursed angrily: "You little beast! What nonsense are you talking about! This is the priest who is here to help you exorcise evil spirits! The doctor who is here to help you cure your illness!"

"She still has evil spirits on her body." Xueming said this, grabbing the sheets and wrapping the girl tightly, unable to move for a while. "I'll go get the holy salt. Keep an eye on her and don't let her go." Do something stupid again.”

Old Jamie didn't know the doctor's intention, and Xueming just talked casually, found "holy salt" as an excuse to leave, and went to the kitchen for a walk. When he came back, Benny had calmed down.

When she saw Jiang Xueming, it seemed that the lover in her dreams had grown taller, and her facial features had become more scattered, finally separating the two.

Xueming took out a bottle of medicine from the doctor's bag, mixed Mrs. Bai's product with table salt, held a useless Bible as an arrow, and pretended to recite incantations to ward off evil spirits.

He threw out a handful of holy water with a high salt content and poured it on Benny's scarred body. When the bloody wounds saw the salt water, she started to scream in pain.

Old Jamie felt distressed for a moment and wanted to let go of his daughter.

Benny struggled desperately and wanted to hug Xueming to see the doctor's face clearly.

"It's not enough! This devil is too strong!" Xueming increased the dose.

The white salt water was sprinkled on Benny's skin, and layers of feathers grew back. Her pajamas also fluffed up, and bright red bird feathers began to appear on her arms and torso, spreading all the way to her neck. Protected by her hair, she also became quiet, staring at the priest with her eyes.

After doing these things, Old Jamie believed in Dr. Zhang Congfeng’s ability even more——

——This is the defender who uses the power of God to slay demons and eliminate demons.

"Doctor Congfeng, do you want more salt? I'll buy it!"

"No need for the time being." Jiang Xueming healed Benny's injury, patted off the excess salt grains on his palms, and explained mysteriously: "This exorcism holy object must be prepared with sea water. It is the blessed holy salt in the church sanctuary. , I also have a few bottles of sea water, this water is the most useful thing."

"Oh!" Jamie was convinced and asked: "If I convert to Jesus Christ and ask my daughter to become a monk and practice, she goes to a nun to worship and do good deeds, and I raise funds for the Christian church - maybe her illness can be cured good?"

"No, no, no, no." Xueming quickly stopped: "I don't need to believe in Christ for this magic. It works whether you believe it or not. Just work. Don't do anything unnecessary. I use the Gospel of John The Slogan label I teach is nothing more than a title. When you go out to perform exorcisms, you must have a name, otherwise it will be bad for patients to treat you like a pheasant doctor."

Jamie was at a loss and didn't know what to say: "Then, what else can I do? Do you want me to do anything?"

Xueming thought for a moment and realized that Benny's illness might not be cured for a while. He was not a psychic scholar from the Secret Library, and he didn't know about any special medicine. He used his spiritual vision to observe Benny -

——The state of this woman's spiritual body is not like that of ordinary people. A black mist of nothingness emerges from the center of her eyebrows. This is a passage, and various spiritual bodies come in and out here, occupying her hypothalamic consciousness center. , causing her to commit suicide and go crazy.

Jiang Xueming: "Brother Jamie, if it's convenient for you, go outside and wait for a while. I have something to ask Miss Bennie."

Hearing these words, the old father's heart skipped a beat and he became suspicious.

Jiang Xueming quickly explained: "If you are worried, you can stay by the bed and listen, but don't ask questions."

Benny's spiritual body is in a very bad state. Xueming is afraid that as her old father's problems increase, her spiritual world will collapse again. When she loses her mind, another strange spiritual body will come over and occupy the magpie's nest. An "exorcism" had to be performed - very troublesome.

Jamie responded: "Okay, okay, okay."

In the early years, this old father took his daughter around to seek medical advice and almost lost her daughter to human trafficking criminals. He really couldn't let go and allowed Dr. Congfeng, a stranger, to be in the same room with Benny. After all, they had only known each other for less than a day.

Xueming took out a bottle of Wangyou tea from the doctor's bag——

——This is Brother Ye Bei's magical medicine to repair mental damage. I don't know if it will work.

In line with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse, he fed Benny a sip of Wangyou tea.

I saw little girl Benny's eyes getting brighter and brighter. When her lips touched the tea soup, she grabbed Xueming's hands and refused to let go even after saying anything, and drank all the three hundred milliliters of liquid in the teapot. , still feel thirsty.

"Is there more?! Is there more? Is there any more doctor? I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty! I'm so thirsty!"

The dense black mist between little sister Benny's eyebrows still showed no sign of dissipating.

In the words of Taoist Master Luo Ping'an - this is because a piece of her spiritual consciousness is missing, and her third eye has become blind. The three souls, seven souls, and chakras were all damaged to the core. No matter how abundant the spiritual power was, all of it would flow away from this hole.

She is like a disabled person who has received an amputation. No matter how much she repairs her spiritual essence, she can only make up for it.

Xueming could clearly see that from Benny's exposed palms and soles, the skin at the far center of these limbs radiated a steady stream of spiritual energy, and all the soul power and spiritual energy of Wangyou Tea drained away.

She seemed to be full of electricity, but the electricity was quickly consumed, her eyes gradually dimmed, and she soon lost her energy.

“It’s so bad, it’s so bad”

Benny was nagging—

"——You're not a gunsmith. You're not."

"He is dead. Why don't good people get rewarded? Why?"

"If I can marry him and be his bride, can I go to school?"

Benny was cursed when she was four years old. She did not have the opportunity to read and read like her peers. Her ability to learn to speak was already her limit.

Her reading, writing and mental arithmetic skills are extremely poor, and chaotic spirits often occupy her body, bringing all kinds of strange experiences and memories.

Jiang Xueming decided to follow this line and ask questions in the psychological comfort zone.

"Benny, why did you marry the gunsmith?"

"He is very rich." Benny's mind was spinning rapidly when she was thinking about these questions: "He is also good-looking. If you meet a rich and good-looking woman, wouldn't you be attracted to her?"

Jiang Xueming: "There should be many such people."

Benny's eyes were straight, and she did not look at the gunsmith. Instead, under the illumination of the bedside lamp, she turned sideways towards the empty place, her eyes empty: "I just like him,"

When talking about this gunsmith, this eighteen-year-old girl has a peach-shaped face, a slightly inverted nose and a small mouth, showing a green smile, which is full of hope and peace of mind.

"No one else can take his place. Just listen to what I say and don't leave. I'll get it for you."

She stood up, squinted her eyes, as if she had thought of something very happy, and took out a large oak box from under the bed. There were all kinds of newspapers in it, and the cover of the box was a yellowed newspaper. Once the cover is opened, on the inner wooden panel is the gunsmith's formal portrait from the Underground Times.

The box contains photos of all sizes, expedition pictures sent back from the front line, interviews about gunsmiths in the canteen and lounge, photos of war reporters and gunsmiths, and various activities, all kinds of charity ribbon-cutting photos.

A pile full of them, up to the recent Luna Cup and the front page of the newspaper for the opening season of Galahad, this box contains the gunsmith's youthful years from twenty-three to thirty years old.

Benny did not touch these fragile prints, just to avoid looking at them less often. They would come into contact with the oil stains on her fingers and react with the air, all of which would slowly make this memory more blurry.

"My mother was kidnapped by the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult. Is she dead? I don't know."

"These demons have turned me into a human and a ghost. I'm just waiting for an unparalleled hero to avenge me."

"This hero has just appeared - I will still be jealous and hate him."

Benny licked her lips nervously and closed the lid in panic.

"Think about it, doctor."

"When I was twelve or thirteen years old, when I heard the news about the liberation of Eureka, I thought that the gunsmith was a murderous demon king - he should also become the incarnation of the Mad Butterfly. I know, I know."

"A piece of my soul is missing, and I always hear an inexplicable voice. That voice tells me that those who kill monsters will always become monsters."

"I just watched this big brother for fun and searched everywhere for news about him."

"I think his method of killing monsters is too exquisite. It seems that these demons die without feeling much pain. Why not slowly cook them to death in warm water? Why not cut them slowly from feet to head? Did you chop it into pieces? I hate it so much."

"In the past two years, many demons have been running around in my body. They come and go, and come again. My father took me to other places to seek medical advice. Stations that I couldn't go to before are now peaceful. You can try your luck now.”

"That's when I realized that the gunsmith didn't turn into a monster."

Benny's face was flushed, and she hugged the box as if hugging her lover.

"This is such a pure soul. If I marry him, I will only have to wait for death and have a happy life."

"A woman with a miserable life experience like me must need more care than the nameless mistress. This is only fair!"

"I just like the feeling of getting something for nothing, I like it! I like it! I can't deceive myself."

"The neighbors have been calling me a disaster, from a crazy kid to a crazy woman. They have been calling me a disaster for more than ten years. When my father is not at home, I will occasionally pretend to be possessed by an evil spirit and throw rocks at their windows. A few poultry were killed in the farmer's chicken pen, and then they screamed and screamed strangely! I just like to see how scared they are."

"There is a hole in my heart that can't be filled, no matter what."

"I'm afraid I can only fill it up by marrying the gunsmith - that's what I think, if I can't marry him"

Benny thought carefully and finally recalled the fact that the gunsmith was dead.

"me."

She burst into tears and cried very ugly. Her facial features were twisted into a ball, and against the bright red feathers, she looked like a figure in an oil painting.

"My soul will be polluted by this horrible world."

"I can't breathe. Just like the Internet joke from more than ten years ago, the air around the gunsmith is also sweet, right?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute," Jiang Xueming quickly shouted to stop, thinking in his heart - his charm is not so outrageous, right? You can't do this.

"Unfortunately, Miss Benny Igor, the gunsmith is dead, and he already has a very mature and very rational wife." Xueming said.

"I don't care!" I don't know whether Benny was lost or because of the psychological defects brought about by her growth experience. She suddenly became aggressive: "I want this person. If he dies, then I won't live either." , I will go to the underworld of Heim to find him."

"What about your father?" Jiang Xueming frowned: "Mr. Jamie has been taking care of you. If it weren't for him -"

"——It was my father who made my mother and I look like this!" Benny's eyes immediately turned red.

As soon as these words came out, Jamie felt like he was struck by lightning——

——The vulture brother was stunned, and then his shoulders were drawn in, and his original sitting posture with his head raised and chest also hunched down.

Benny: "How can you blame me? It's him who makes me crazy! It's him who makes me worse than death! It's him who is nosy! Yes"

"Benny!" Jiang Xueming glared and shouted so loudly that the little sister didn't dare to speak.

Benny curled up and hugged the box towards the bedside. She apologized as she backed away.

"I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Am I being controlled by evil spirits again? I'm sorry, dad, I'm sorry."

Jiang Xueming: "You shouldn't talk to your father like that, Benny."

He pressed the little sister's shoulders to reassure her.

"Your father is also a victim. You shouldn't blame him. Your father has made it clear to me about the grudges that happened in your family. You should blame the perpetrator."

The clock ticked forward, and almost two minutes passed, and Benny no longer dared to speak——

——She was afraid of losing control of her emotions. When she got excited, countless evil thoughts would come to her brain earlier than the evil spirits.

As long as these evil thoughts completely occupy her mind, her body will lose control and become a playground for spirits.

"Father, help me." Benny cried so hard: "Help me, Lord, please help me. Tathagata, Buddha, Haotian God, you are so proud and virtuous, please help me."

Xueming held the cross and pressed it on Benny's forehead. The fragrant dream gently touched this soul, allowing her to sleep peacefully.

After doing these things, Xueming took Brother Jamie to the door and discussed the next trip.

"I have a solution for your daughter's illness, but I need you to follow me on a long journey."

Jamie asked nervously: "Where to go? I have traveled through most of the underground world, fourteen years! Fourteen years."

Xueming took out his diary and wrote and drew pictures about what he saw and heard during the expedition, recording the checkpoints, fortresses, local customs and customs.

"There is an unknown area that VIP has not yet explored. It happens to be not far from here. The spiritual pressure environment there has changed drastically. The evil spirit in Benny's body may have flowed out from the unknown area."

"That place is the elven sanctuary in Germanic mythology. It is the hometown of the elves who were born from the body after the giant Mimir was beheaded. It is only more than 180 kilometers away from the Mimir Hot Spring Market, at the junction of Moho and Mian. In the land, there is a huge deep valley. There are still many human activities 20,000 meters below the ground. Hunting settlements have been established here to provide rare animal ingredients for the gourmets at the Mimir Hot Spring Market. The further you go, the older the geographical chronology becomes, and traces of the activities of mountain monsters and elves can be found. There are also ancient lives in the form of demons, and various spirits revel here."

"I want to keep vigil for your daughter. She is defenseless when she is sleeping. As long as I can catch one or two spirits, I can find out the result. If the location is determined, we will set off immediately—— There are at least two options available."

When Xueming talked about this, he gave Brother Jamie a cigarette and asked the old gunsmith to relax.

"If it can't be cured, you can take your daughter to live in the mortal world. The concentration of spiritual disasters there is much lower than in the underground world. In a community with good security, there are no ghosts who have died in vain, and there are no murderers who commit murders. The most she can do is Being possessed by a good neighbor in the cemetery can be solved smoothly by contacting Tianshu’s operators.”

"If it can be cured, I hope Brother Jamie can help me -"

Xueming patted the rocket launcher on Jamie's waist.

"——Help me build this experimental engineering machine."
