American Variety: Scientific Exorcism

"."

"No, this is absolutely not okay!"

Hearing these fierce objections, Chris looked at his wife who was firmly opposed and felt a little headache.

As an old couple for many years, Chris knew immediately from Rose's fierce performance that Rose would not agree to the priest's request no matter what.

"Rose!"

Chris glanced back and saw Brother John and Sister Eileen standing quietly beside the priest.

"You know, there's really nothing we can do."

Hearing this, Rose bit her lip and looked at Sharon, who was sleeping on the bench again with a coat covering her body. Of course she knew what Chris meant.

There really was nothing they could do.

They spent a lot of money, even sold their previous house, and spent a lot of time, but there was absolutely no hope for Sharon's condition.

It's not like they haven't looked for famous and capable doctors, and their final recommendation was for Sharon to receive supervised psychiatric treatment.

She would never follow this advice because she felt her daughter would never be mentally ill.

Starting from the note given by the priest, she had a strong hunch that Sharon's illness was definitely related to Silent Hill.

But that doesn't mean she agrees with Sharon going to Silent Hill with the priest without her parents.

This is not a question of trust or distrust, because she is Sharon's mother and she loves Sharon, even though Sharon is not her biological daughter.

"We have no choice." Chris sighed, looking at the changing expression on Rose's face.

"I think this is the last step to cure Sharon's disease. I believe in Father York."

After hearing this, Ross did not let go, but looked at the priests in the depths.

——

"Bishop, do you plan to act alone?" Erin asked in a low voice, looking at the bishop who was still looking through the physics books.

As soon as these words came out, John Wick also looked at the bishop.

There was something in the two people's gazes. Yorks could only take down the book in his hand, stopped flipping through it, faced the two people's gazes, and said calmly.

"This matter is a bit special. I am enough alone. You can just stay here."

Erin looked at John Wick. The two looked at each other and could only choose to give up.

They all knew the character of the Bishop.

"Yes." Erin and John Wick nodded.

Yorks smiled, turned back to meet the third somewhat stubborn gaze, and sighed silently as he thought of the exchange between the couple.

"That's all."

"."

——

The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if the whole world has become brighter, and people can feel the breath of recovery, hope and vitality of all things.

Such is the weather as we approach May, the last month of spring.

On the road to West Virginia, a muscle car speeds down the empty road.

This is America, with fewer people and vast land. Once you drive to a remote place, you will find that you are the only car on the road before you know it.

This is probably why there are so many road thrillers in the United States. Fortunately, this place is quite vast, and there should be no scary ogres like those in Fatal Curve.

Yorks, who knew the surrounding situation through the stereogram, sat in the back seat, glanced down at Sharon, who was pillowing on his lap, and then continued to pick up his phone and browse.

"Hey hey hey! Why didn't you call me when you went out!"

"Ahhhhh! No conscience!"

"."

Ignoring Hannah's message in the chat box, Yorks clicked on the folder inside.

Ever since this guy got mixed up with him, and after experiencing volunteer work, it didn't take long for him to return to his old life, with black and white reversed.

He was either manipulating the psychic sculpture hand and the mysterious dollhouse, or was working as an information dealer. He had given up on this guy.

Not forcing or forcing, just as he would not ask John Wick to give up the money he earned with his life, but would instead ask him to follow his heart, accept and enjoy his life.

The folder was clicked and began to display the information Hannah had collected for him.

Although he was familiar with Silent Hill due to the memories of his previous life, this world seemed different, so there was absolutely no problem in reviewing it again.

Looking at the photo of a small town above, Yorks raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is not much different from the information about Silent Hill he had in his previous life.

A few decades ago, a major event occurred in the small town of Silent Hill. A fire ignited the coal mines underground. Soon the fire spread instantly, and countless residents were killed in the flames.

The burning produced so much toxic gas that the surviving residents gradually moved away from Silent Hill.

What's worse is that the coal underground burns slowly and persistently, and the flames have not been extinguished to this day.

So Silent Hill, this small town is now a deserted ghost.

After taking a rough look at it and confirming that it was not too different from the memory of his previous life, Yorks stopped reading.

But this piece of information has long been associated in my mind.

What type of movie is Silent Hill? It’s a horror thriller, so naturally it has to be weird.

Except for those who accidentally hid in the church and discovered that the church could stop Alessa's cult and some surviving residents, basically everyone in the town of Silent Hill was killed by Alessa.

Death is death, but these people killed by Alessa become some kind of tools for her.

Alessa used her spirit to forcibly transform these people into various monsters, making them unable to reincarnate forever.

Just when he thought of this, Yorks put away his mobile phone, looked at little Sharon who just looked at him quietly with her big eyes open, and smiled.

"woke up?"

Little Sharon blinked, nodded and sat up.

This movement also alerted the driver in front of her, and Ross secretly glanced at the rearview mirror. Sharon was still sleeping all the way, but what was different from before was that she slept very peacefully, with no signs of sleepwalking. .

She didn't know if it was because of the presence of the priest that caused this result, but no matter what, this made her feel at ease.

"Did you dream about anything?" Yorkshire said gently.

Little Sharon continued to shake her head, but looked at the priest next to her, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice.

"Father, is my problem serious? I've been sleeping a lot lately."

"No, it's not serious at all." Yorkshire said gently.

"Child, you don't have to mind what happened before. No matter what the doctor's judgment is, it's obviously wrong. Do you believe me?"

Little Sharon didn't blink, she just looked at the priest, and finally smiled and nodded vigorously.

However, she was a little shy, glanced at the front seat secretly, and whispered.

"Then can I not take medicine?"

She knew that her parents listened to the priest.

Yorks smiled: "Of course, kid, you don't need to take medicine from now on."

Little Sharon suddenly cheered up and said yes.

Rose raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his chest heaved, and he looked away from the rearview mirror.

Unknowingly, her heart was filled with a kind of hope. From the beginning of her journey to the church until now, she always felt that Sharon's illness could really be cured under the leadership of this calm and indifferent priest.

Yorks smiled at Sharon, glanced at the front seat, then picked up a pile of books on the shelf next to him and picked up a book.

From New York to West Virginia, it's at least a few hundred kilometers.

Based on the estimates from the movie and the information found, it would be around night before arriving at Silent Hill.

This time was enough for him to finish reading these dozen books, and there was still some left.

Without him, his body mutated into this ghostly state with the added health points, and his brain was probably no longer a human brain.

With just one glance, he understood the meaning of this page, understood the theory, and absorbed it all, so he naturally turned the pages very quickly.

Little Sharon, who had just been excited for a while, saw the priest like this and took out her time-consuming tools from the side.

Drawing paper and colored pens, she loves to draw.

For a moment, the car regained its composure and sped towards its destination at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

——

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky started to get dark.

The distance ahead could no longer be seen clearly, and Ross let out a breath. It would be fine if he only drove for a while, but if he drove for a long time, he would be very tired.

The truck speeding past next to her, and at this moment, she secretly glanced at the rearview mirror.

Her daughter began to sleep again, still sleeping on the priest's lap. I don't know if it was too comfortable. Sharon's sleeping face was peaceful and relaxed.

This made her feel relieved. This sleeping face could only be seen in church.

It still appears.

Apparently the reason why Sharon is like this is because of Fr.

Continuing to raise his eyes, the priest still looked calm, but he was holding a piece of drawing paper in his hand.

It looked like it was a drawing drawn by Sharon.

"Do you want to take a look?"

Not sure if her gaze was too revealing, the priest suddenly raised his head and looked at her in the rearview mirror.

Rose was divided at the first touch, subconsciously avoided it, and then shook his head.

"Father Yorks, looking at the map, there seems to be a gas station in front of me. I probably need to refuel. Do you plan on getting something to eat?"

"Thank you, I'm not hungry yet." Yorkshire looked down at the drawing paper in his hand again.

There were things drawn on the drawing paper that didn't look like something a child could draw. There was a layer of black flames on it. Among the ruins, a girl wearing a black dirty skirt was opening her hands to hug something.

Ross glanced at the rearview mirror again, nodded, and continued to concentrate on driving.

"Is this the incarnation of darkness separated from Alessa?" Yorks narrowed his eyes habitually, and his pupils reflected a scene different from reality.

His eyes seemed to penetrate the endless ruins in the drawing, passing through the steel frames burned by the flames one after another, and looked at the girl inside.

Different from the girl whose face and identity could not be seen in the drawing, the girl in York's eyes began to look like Sharon.

There is no difference in height or face. The only difference is that Sharon has her hands spread out. She is wearing a black and dirty skirt. There are black lava-like traces under her eyes and her hair is messy.

She tilted her head and looked at him, suddenly disappeared, and finally reappeared hugging him.

Yorks raised his eyebrows in surprise, wondering what this dark incarnation of Alessa meant.

But the white light burst out from him instantly, but this incarnation of darkness that looked exactly like Sharon raised her little face and looked at him again, and instead smiled.

Finally, it was reduced to ashes in an explosion of light.

"well."

Yorks blinked and his pupils returned to normal, but when he looked at the girl on the drawing paper, he couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, he sympathized with Alessa, so he wouldn't do anything this time.

punish? He thought he was not qualified, and even if he was qualified, he would not want to do anything to this poor child.

In the channeling just now, Yorks knew his attitude, and it was probably noticed by Alessa.

"As long as you teach me how to create the spiritual world, even if you let me help you break the magic circle in that church." Yorks muttered in his heart.

The step of creating the world was important to his future plans.

Because this can be combined with his future.

After all, human beings can be said to be composed of atoms and some molecules. When he can control and manipulate particles, he might as well try the plan to create humans. When the time comes.

Thinking of this, Yorks put the drawing paper on top of the book he had already read next to him and looked at the front seat.

Unconsciously, a light source appeared in front of me.

In his perspective view, the light source ahead is what Rose calls a gas station.

What surprised him was that the policewoman who could be called a good guy in the movie, who followed Ross into Silent Hill to help find Sharon, but was eventually burned to death by the cult hiding in the church, was also there.

"Isn't it a parallel world similar to the previous life?" Yorks sighed in his heart.

"Father York, we're at the gas station, can I help you buy a bottle of water?" Rose said at this time, she still wanted to do something to help the priest.

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Rose." Yorkes noticed this, looked at Rose in the rearview mirror, and did not refuse.

Ross shrugged, smiled, looked at the gas station that appeared in front of him, and drove over.

Although there was no Silent Hill on the map and it seemed to have been erased, it was still a little away from the location Father York said, so she had to work hard.

In the dark night, the already somewhat remote gas station looked a bit ghostly under the dim light, giving it a terrifying atmosphere.

However, Rose didn't have much fear in his heart, mainly because the priest was there. No matter how special the priest was, his burly figure could still make people feel safe.

In addition to this, there are also factors that give her a sense of security.

There is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle parked on the roadside of the gas station. According to its logo, it is a standard police motorcycle commonly used by the police.

As the car passed by, Ross looked away from the police motorcycle and glanced at the gas station.

She didn't see the police. She only saw an old pickup truck parked next to a gas tank. A middle-aged man wearing an ordinary jacket and jeans, who looked ordinary but very strong, was standing at the filling port. Refuel your own pickup truck.

The man seemed a little surprised when he saw the car coming in, and turned his head to look over.

Ross immediately changed his gaze and continued to drive past.

The car entered slowly, and his eyes moved again, and a small shop appeared inside.

Rose finally saw someone wearing a police uniform appear, but what she didn't expect was that it turned out to be a policewoman.

Seeing the policewoman holding something and chatting with the store clerk, she was surprised, but Ross still parked the car firmly at the last gas tank, and the pickup truck happened to be in front of it.

Through the front window, he saw the man staring here while taking the gas nozzle to refuel. His eyes were a little weird and strange. Ross pursed his lips and glanced at the rearview mirror.

The priest nodded directly at her.

The sense of security doubled, Ross relaxed quietly and said.

"Father, please wait for me."

Yorkshire smiled and said, "Okay."
