American Variety: Scientific Exorcism

Everything happened.

Outside the cordoned off zone, in a relatively quiet open space.

Yorks glanced at the car parked there, turned back to Higa Kotoko, who had been standing next to him, and smiled.

"Go back, it seems you still have to arrange some things."

York's gaze crossed behind Higa Kotoko and stopped at the chaotic but orderly scene a dozen meters away.

The exorcism is completed, but there will still be some twists and turns after the battle.

Although he entered Kayako's space field, his attack had already broken through its space limitations and reached reality, so there would still be some damage outside. This is why he asked Higa Kotoko if he could compensate the victim. Cause of loss.

Higa Kotoko nodded silently. Her face was originally dignified and that of a gentle lady. Combined with the scars on her eyes and her cold temperament, it looked a bit inhumane.

The people of the island country all think that their saint is a cold person, but only he and Higa Makoto know who Higa Kotoko is.

"Forget it, it looks like you won't move until you watch me leave." Yorks retracted his gaze.

"If something is difficult to solve, just tell me. I should be at St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo recently."

Higa Kotoko still looked the same, wearing the kimono she had not changed into tonight, with her hands stacked in front of her, like a wife waiting for her husband to return. She just looked at Yorks, and then nodded silently.

Seeing this, Yorks smiled at her, turned around and left for the car. With the cooperation of the driver named Higa Junzan, he got into the back seat of the car.

After Higa Kimiyama closed the car door, he bowed slightly and saluted Higa Kotoko, who was standing there motionless, and then trotted towards the driver's seat that belonged to him.

After a while, the pick-up car slowly left the place under the watch of Higa Kotoko.

Until the car disappeared from sight, Higa Kotoko was still standing. She stretched out her hand and took out a bunch of crosses from her kimono. She opened her hand and looked at the cross in the center of her palm, feeling the warmth inside, and remained silent.

……………………………………………………

The car had already left the Setagaya area of ​​Tokyo and drove to the gate of Showa Medical University.

Yorks looked at the passers-by on the street and the school, which was caught in a light and was not affected by the exorcism, and spoke.

"Your name is Higa Kimiyama, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Higa Junzan, who had picked up Yorkshire twice, was a little flattered. He didn't know how this big shot knew his name.

"Yes, Lord Bishop York." His tone rose a little.

Yorkshire said gently: "Can you buy me some octopus balls?"

"ah?"

Higa Kimiyama was startled for a moment, never expecting such an exhibition, but he immediately reacted and replied respectfully without waiting for Yorkist to say anything.

"Okay, Lord Bishop York."

"Yeah." Yorks turned his head, looked at the rearview mirror in front of him and nodded at Higa Kimiyama who had been peeking.

Higa Kimiyama quickly averted his eyes, sat upright, and drove properly, but the direction he was heading to Tokyo's St. Mary's Cathedral turned to another direction.

Eventually stopped outside at a snack street.

"Mr. Bishop, please wait a moment." Higa Junzan said respectfully as he unbuckled his seat belt.

"Well, put a little more sauce."

"yes!"

Yorks responded, and after watching Higa Kimiyama get out of the car and jog towards the snack street over there, he was thinking of the memories of the island country.

Although the octopus balls actually suit his taste, there is an old guy here who likes octopus balls even more than he does. He likes them to a perverted level, so much so that when he saw the octopus balls, he felt... To the point of losing appetite.

And this old guy is none other than Bishop Pedlio, who is in charge of the archdiocese of the island country.

I heard that this old guy and the previous saint of the island country also met because of Octopus Maruko-chan, and finally...

"It's a pity that this old guy doesn't want to say it, otherwise I'd be really curious as to how he got along with the previous saint of the island country. It's a very beautiful story to think about." Yorks shook his head and looked at the car window.

"But since we haven't seen each other for a long time, how can we go without a gift?"

In his eyes, Higa Kimiyama was already running over with a large bag of packed octopus balls.

…………………………………………

Santa Maria Cathedral, Tokyo.

In the large square outside, Yorks asked Higa Kimiyama to park the car and walked out of the car with a bag of octopus balls.

Higa Kimiyama originally wanted to help open the door, but he could only stop and stood beside the car and bowed to Yorks.

"Please walk slowly, Lord Bishop York."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Yorkist patted Higa Kimiyama's shoulder, which was tense, and said with a smile.

"You can ask Makoto for this money, just say it was me."

Higa Junzan trembled all over. How could he tell the second lady about this? It was tantamount to throwing himself into a trap and it would take a lot of effort to escape.

"hehe."

Seeing Higa Junzan's appearance, Yorkist made a rare joke.

"I'm joking, don't worry, I won't rely on your money. I will tell Qinzi when the time comes."

Higa Junzan didn't dare to refuse. He only knew that the boss would give it and he couldn't refuse.

"Yes, Lord Bishop York."

Yorks nodded, patted Higa Junzan's shoulder again, then turned around and left for the cathedral in front of him.

Behind him, Higa Junzan still kept his bowed posture, but this was completely out of York's eyes. He only had eyes for the cathedral in front of him.

In front of the huge square is a decorated green belt, and even a fountain, which looks pretty good with the lights.

Moreover, the cathedral in Tokyo really has a modern feel. The curved wall rises from the oblique quadrilateral plane on the ground and gathers into a horizontal cross-shaped skylight at the top.

Looking down it looks like a Latin cross, looking up it looks like a silver bird spreading its wings and about to fly. The church bell tower is separated from the main body of the church and is 60 meters high, like a silver needle piercing the sky.

Therefore, in the square in front of the cathedral, there are still many passers-by visiting or walking, but most of them are sitting casually on the ground or in the green belt or next to the fountain.

It seems that he came out specifically to relax and relax.

York knew why these people had not left so late. To put it bluntly, the cathedral was surrounded by holy power and the superposition of related magic circles. Staying here could make them calm and peaceful, and they would not be locked up by worries.

This is an extraordinary situation, otherwise situations and effects like this would definitely not have existed in previous lives.

After taking a look at the surprisingly quiet people gathered at the fountain, York continued walking towards the cathedral.

Of course, his actions also attracted the attention of some passers-by, because the cathedral was guarded by monks and was not allowed to enter.

But before they had time to remind them, they saw the man carrying a bag walking into the area guarded by the monks.

"Who is this?"

Seeing the monks guarding him saluting this man, this thought came to mind invariably among all the passers-by who saw this scene.

But Yorkist had already walked into this somewhat modern and special Santa Maria Cathedral in Tokyo under their doubtful eyes.

Once inside, the huge cathedral was empty, with no one around.

Under the illumination of candles and modern lights, this richly decorated Santa Maria Cathedral in Tokyo is quite beautiful and has a sacred feeling.

York's gaze extended forward, and he saw a man with half-white hair on the back of his head in the bench on the left side of the first row.

He walked slowly over, finally sat on the bench on the right, opened the plastic bag in his hand, took out his own small bag first, and then handed the whole bag to the old man with his eyes closed.

"Would you like some?"

The old man immediately opened his eyes, looked over, and sighed.

"As we get older, we can't digest food at such a late hour."

But having said that, he still reached out and took the bag handed over by Yorks, opened the mouth of the plastic bag, picked up the stick inside, put a small octopus ball into his mouth and chewed it.

"I haven't eaten for several years, but in the end it was because of you that you broke the rules." Bishop Pedlio changed his cold attitude in front of others and looked at the Yorkist who was eating next to him.

"I heard that you went to see Qinzi immediately after getting off the plane? We even expelled a vengeful ghost with a domain together?"

Speaking of this, Bishop Pedlio looked at York and wanted to grit his teeth.

"York, don't mess with my daughter! Stay away from my daughter."

Yorks swallowed the chewed octopus balls into his stomach, looked at Bishop Pedlio, and said a little speechlessly.

"Why did I provoke your daughter? I have always regarded Qinzi as my sister. Isn't that the original intention of you introducing her to me?"

Bishop Pedlio shook his head and sighed.

"What do you, a straight man, know? If I had known I wouldn't have introduced you, but now it seems that you are just attracting wolves into the house, even Makoto"

Speaking of this, Bishop Pedlio looked at the guy next to him and felt heartbroken.

At that time, this guy clapped his hands and left, but he didn't know how many days his daughters had to be depressed before they recovered. From then on, they had a very cold attitude towards other men.

It was obvious what was going on, and how could his father not understand it.

Hearing this, Yorks simply didn't reply, picked up a lottery ticket, put a small octopus ball into his mouth and chewed it.

The scene fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of the two chewing.

But in the end the silence was interrupted by Bishop Pedlio.

"When will you go in?"

Yorks said calmly: "Let's take a look at the supernatural events outside and then decide."

"Would you like to go over and take a look?" Bishop Pedlio put the plastic bag away and looked at Yorks who also finished eating the octopus balls.

"No, you've already seen it anyway, so I'm afraid it's just like that."

Yorks looked at the statue of Jesus in front of him and said calmly.

"Bishop Pedlio, what I can see is that it is still very quiet, as if it is sleeping, without any fluctuations or breath."

Bishop Pedlio sighed: "It would be great if we could help you, but it's a pity."

"It's okay." Yorkshire smiled.

"Anyway, I like exploring."

Bishop Pedlio nodded, stood up and prepared to leave.

"It looks like you have to pray that Yorkshire's residence will remain the same as before, and you can figure out what to do next."

"Okay." Sergeant York said, "Bishop Pedlio, don't forget my deacons."

"Don't worry about this." Bishop Pedlio had turned around and looked back at Yorks and said calmly.

"Your deacon sister, Sister Eileen, is very good at what she does. She has been in contact with us for a long time."

After saying that, Bishop Pedlio strode away directly, giving Yorks an opportunity to become quieter.

Because of Bishop Pedlio's words, York couldn't help but think of Irene.

"Of course my deaconess is great."

Yorks murmured to himself, smiled, looked at the statue of Jesus, closed his eyes, and began to complete the daily fixed tasks before the day was over.

What made him most regretful tonight was that exorcising famous ghosts like Kayako did not trigger a random mission.

"Lord, I almost forgot to tell you today's story again. It's probably too late now. I hope you can forgive me."

Yorks prayed in his heart.

After a long time, when Irene's figure appeared in the side aisle next to the altar, Yorkist opened his eyes and made the sign of the cross on his chest.

"Amen."

"Bishop." Irene, who had long been familiar with this situation, said.

"Have they arranged it?" Yorks smiled, and the reminder that the daily fixed tasks were completed rang in his ears.

Eileen understood what her bishop meant: "Yes, Hannah and Alessa are tired from playing today and have gone to bed early. Brother Healy is still sorting out his research, and Brother John has not come back yet."

Hearing this, Yorks raised his eyebrows, thinking about the speculation about John Wick.

It seems that John Wick has indeed gone to pay homage to his friend, but does John Wick still have real friends after his sniper friend died?

Thinking of this, Yorks stood up from the bench and walked towards the side passage inside, while Irene followed silently behind him.

"Eileen, check the situation in the island country for me tomorrow. I need to know the scope of their supernatural events." Yorks said as he walked with his hands behind his back.

He is still certain about Higa Kotoko's character. Unless she encounters a world-wide disaster, she will not ask him for help.

Just because his father is Bishop Pedlio, he is very stubborn.

"Yes, Bishop." Erin's voice came from behind.

Yorks nodded and added the available attribute points he had just obtained and accumulated to two points to his health.

[Add points successfully]

[Life 379 increased to 381]

"As for the rest, you should go back and rest early." Yorkshire said gently.

"It's getting late."

After the words fell, Eileen stopped immediately, bowed slightly, and watched her bishop leave.

"yes."
