American Variety: Scientific Exorcism

The thick fog has not dissipated.

The clear field of vision is still only one or two meters away.

As the sun sets, combined with the thick fog, the entire space appears darker.

It's like there's a thick layer of gauze on the outside.

The noise came from the unseen depths outside, and it was eerie.

Shooting Club.

Jim's family all huddled together in the back, only Jim and Mike, and Jim's sister Georgina followed Erin, and John Wick looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, including the front door made of glass.

If you ignore the mysterious cries outside, the atmosphere is so quiet that it is suffocating.

An unbearable sound broke the peace.

"that……"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw Georgina shrinking her head slightly.

Erin and John Wick didn't speak, only her brother Jim spoke.

"Georgina, if you are tired, go and rest."

"I'm not tired." Georgina said hesitantly:

"I'm a little worried about the priest's safety! Will he..."

The corner of Jim's mouth twitched, and he still said such words at this time,

Jim wanted to say something, but at the moment he was about to say it, John Wick beat him to it.

"Father Yorks would never do anything dangerous."

Based on his understanding of the priest, the God of Killing then said: "And if the priest wants to do it, he must be certain."

If Yorkist, he would sigh: "John, you really understand me."

These words obviously made Georgina and Jim feel relieved.

Jim relaxed, while Georgina stared curiously at the dangerous fog outside, thinking of the priest who saved her life...

"Is he so powerful?"

But before they could have any thoughts, at this moment, Eileen opened her eyes and suddenly spoke.

"Something is coming!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place exploded.

John Wick and Mike picked up their guns at the same time, only Jim, who was a researcher, was slower.

"Sister Irene, what did you see?" John Wick tensed up and instantly entered combat mode, speaking.

Now that he has entered another world, he has accepted that some of the church's clergy have special abilities that ordinary people do not have, and Sister Irene is also within his circle.

Just because the other party is the deacon nun beside Father York.

What John Wick didn't see was that a golden pupil ring appeared in the depths of Erin's pupils.

"Right ahead, close."

In her field of vision, there was a group of flying monsters that looked like a mixture of mosquitoes and scorpions, and were as big as three palms, flying towards her.

"coming!"

Before anyone could prepare to do anything, as soon as these words came out, John Wick also noticed a group of flying monsters flying towards the window.

These flying monsters are the manticores that York said. Their tails carry a thick poisonous stinger, which can kill someone with just a single thrust.

Everyone also sensed the danger from the venomous sting. Not only the sting, but also the size of the scorpion-tailed beast and its densely packed group, they knew the danger.

Because too many ants can kill an elephant, and they are not elephants.

"Walk!"

Jim was already covered in hair, and he shouted to Georgina.

Georgina understood and knew that she could not hold back, so she hurriedly moved towards the back.

boom!

A manticore crashed towards the window, crawling on the window like an ant.

One after another, the windows appear to make patients with trypophobia nausea...

"Sister Irene."

John Wick was carrying the AUG assault rifle with the highest ammunition capacity and looked at the nun. However, he found that the nun had not known when she had raised the same rifle and pointed it at the window, aiming at the manticores.

He suddenly remembered the priest's words, shook his head, and walked closer to the nun to avoid any danger that he could not take care of.

"etc!"

Only Jim shouted here.

"They seem to be phototactic organisms."

"Yes!! Georgina! Turn off the lights! Turn off the lights!"

Jim suddenly shouted.

John Wick and Erin looked at each other and defaulted to letting the other person handle it.

Then, Georgina behind her had already turned off the lights.

Obviously, the researcher Jim's judgment was correct. When the lights were turned off and the indoor and outdoor colors were the same, although the manticores on the window were still crawling around, they were obviously not as violent as before, gathering together for lust. Have to break through the window to get inside.

And following Erin's reminder, when another monster similar to a pterodactyl arrived, these densely packed scorpion-tailed beasts had already scattered in all directions as if they encountered natural enemies.

And those monsters as big as pterodactyls also ignored them and chased these manticores.

The situation seemed to have a good ending for the time being, which made everyone relax.

Only Irene's eyes showed a trace of inexplicable disappointment. She still had no chance to practice in actual combat.

The priest said that the feedback from actual combat is better than any training. If you want to make greater progress, you must engage in actual combat.

Now it seems that with the changes in the situation, she still has no chance to engage in actual combat.

Thinking of this, Erin looked out into the darkness and could only see the thick fog within ten meters. Looking at the cruel predatory scene in the sky, she actually missed her own priest.

However, at this moment, the priest she was thinking about on a whim was driving to the side of a road and looking at the supermarket over there through the car window, with the corner of her mouth twitching.

"It seems like we encountered the stage where manticores invaded the supermarket?"

"In this parallel world, is this plot reversed?"

Yorks didn't have time to examine this point. He looked at the supermarket over there that was invaded by some remaining manticores, and was speechless.

It's night now.

Judging from the information revealed by the world shrouded in thick fog and without light.

The composition of that world is actually similar to that of the earth's atmosphere.

But being shrouded in white mist all day long means there is no photosynthesis, which means there are not many edible plants, so most of these monsters should be carnivores. According to the flying insects on the earth, like this scorpion tail The flying insects of beasts are obviously phototactic creatures.

What appeared in his eyes now was a glowing supermarket.

Forget about lighting, there are also spotlights.

"Isn't this just looking for death?"

Yorks couldn't help but laugh. Of course, he also knew why the supermarket turned out like this.

The reason is that some fools misunderstood what smart people said.

The wise man, the male protagonist, realized that these scorpion-tailed beasts were phototactic, and quickly called out "Light, light."

But the male protagonist overestimated the IQ of the people in the supermarket. Those people thought that the male protagonist meant turning on the lights and turned on all the lights.

"If you're not stupid, how could you become a follower of a cult leader and be led by her..."

Yorks looked at the large group of manticores that had broken through the window and invaded inside, shook his head and drove away.

It’s okay if you haven’t seen it, but if you have seen it, you need to go and take a look.

At the same time, he was also curious about whether the cult leader really had some abilities.

It can make the development of the movie just like what she said. If the male protagonist's son is sacrificed, the devil will let them go and God's wrath will be withdrawn.

After all, that's exactly what happened. After the male protagonist shot his son, the world recovered...

At this moment, the supermarket was already in chaos.

Manticores are phototactic and prey on Earth's birds and some flying creatures. However, they are also easily frightened and angered, and start attacking people in the supermarket.

But just as the people in the supermarket were hiding and making a mess, the middle-aged cult leader suddenly looked crazy and shouted.

"Look! Look! What happens now! Where are the people you put your hope in? I have already said that the movement outside is created by the devil!"

While she was shouting crazily, she stared at the manticores flying around towards the chandelier above, with a flush on her face.

"One - atonement! What we should think about now is atonement! The whip and the bat are the punishments we receive! We are punished for exploring the secrets forbidden by God!

…”

The words fell one after another, full of confusion.

But what she didn't notice was that the priest outside had gotten out of the car.

What she didn't notice was that the manticores with spotlights flying around the chandelier had noticed her.

What he didn't notice was that the manticore that was attacking people in the supermarket suddenly exploded on the spot in his incredible, wide-open eyes.

She didn't notice anything and was still shouting wildly.

"We see the lips of the earth opening! We now see the obscenity of the incubus! The rocks will not turn them away, nor the tree of death hide us! How will the world end? What can stop the end?"

These words made Yorks, who was walking towards the entrance of the supermarket, smile.

If this is the end of the world, what kind of end is it if he solves it so easily?

When the door to the space rift was closed by him, the matter ended just like that.

The only thing needed is to wait for the arrival of dawn, the moment when the sun shines and clears the fog. When the sun shines and the fog dissipates, all the monsters must disappear at this moment.

Step by step closer, Yorks used his mind power to crush the manticores that were attacking people in the supermarket one after another through the three-dimensional diagram, and let the remaining manticores fly towards the still roaring cult leader.

He wanted to see if this cult leader really had some special abilities, or if it was just a matter of luck and coincidence.

Buzz! Buzz!

The supermarket fell into an eerie silence because of the inexplicable explosion of manticores everywhere.

Only the cult leader was still shouting.

"Atonement! Only atonement! Can God see our determination to change!"

These words attracted people in the supermarket, including the male protagonist who stood in the aisle between the shelves and looked at the cult leader who raised his hands and shouted in the open space of the hall with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Because he saw some scorpion-tailed beasts flying towards the cult leader, with tail needles full of juice already exposed on their tails...

This woman is considered a familiar person in the local area. Before the fog came, she was just a weird woman who owned an antique shop in the town. She was nothing special or had any special abilities. She was just a woman who often said some random things. , but a few people believed her.

Thinking of this, the male protagonist wanted to remind him, but before he was ready to remind him, and before he fell into deep despair and sought psychological support, the crowd who were still in the good stage of their hearts shouted out.

"Hey!! Mrs. Carmody! Be careful! Danger!"

careful? Danger?

The cult leader who was still shouting subconsciously followed the source of the sound and looked towards the shelves behind him.

As a result, a group of monsters were discovered on the spot with their tail needles exposed and flying toward her with their fangs and claws.

At this time, these ferocious monsters were already in front of her, and there was no time for her to make any move.

The leader of the cult, who was called Mrs. Carmody and was obviously a local, tensed up all over. She was so stiff that she could only watch helplessly as the manticore revealed its tail needle and stabbed it.

The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer, and the pupils in her eyes were filled with tiny tail needles, leaving no other gaps.

Fear came over her and she couldn't move.

"God……"

Mrs. Carmody couldn't help but recite something. At the moment when she was about to close her eyes and wait for death, at the moment when fear slowed down her thinking, she found that several tail needles suddenly stopped after a few centimeters. in the air.

"this……"

Before she showed a strong surprise, she thought it was God coming to save her life.

Several manticores stationary in the air exploded at this moment, and the dirt in them splashed directly onto her ecstatic face.

This scene made everyone in the supermarket stunned. They all looked hesitant, but not too surprised.

Because they have already seen that many people have escaped danger in this situation.

"yes!"

Only Mrs. Carmody said ecstatically: "God!! God saved me! You all saw it!!!"

"This is a miracle!! I am..."

However, when it came to this, Mrs. Carmody found that the people in front of her were not looking at her. Instead, they were looking in a certain direction with their eyes wide open. Behind her to the left, there was a look of disbelief on their faces.

"..."

Mrs. Carmody subconsciously blocked what she wanted to say, and looked stiffly to the left and back like a robot.

Because she heard steady footsteps behind her.

As she turned around, a tall and majestic man was reflected in front of her eyes. The man slowly walked out of the dark fog and opened the main door of the supermarket. He had a certain holy and inviolable temperament about him, which made the darkness behind him The despairing fog has become a background without any sense of existence.

"This this…"

Mrs. Carmody was stunned. She opened her mouth and pointed but couldn't say a word. She only saw the man in front of her, as if she had seen something, and her face was at a loss.

This made Yorkist raise his eyebrows slightly. This was originally a test, and he did not intend to let the manticore stab this woman to death.

Because everyone has his own rights, and because he is the spokesperson of God, a real priest, after all, he also got the result that this woman is just an ordinary person.

And no matter what, this thick fog of despair is indeed a test of people's hearts. Many people will have many ideas, and falling into madness is an inevitable process and result.

Human nature cannot be tested.

In the movie, after the cult leader died, the store manager who followed the hero out and didn't have time to get in the car was because the people inside opened the door handle and let him in, otherwise he would have died at the hands of the gray widow.

In the current situation, he believes that many people's mentality has not been overcome yet, which means that things in the movie have been cut off at the beginning.

Yorks looked at the entire audience in a daze, falling into a strange calm. He just looked at the people around him, including the male protagonist who was holding his child, and smiled.

"Is this supermarket still in business? I want to buy a bottle of water..."
