American Variety: Scientific Exorcism

island country.

Koto Ward, Tokyo.

A girl wearing a shoulder bag welcomed outside a relatively secretive church.

The skin is fair and delicate, the small nose on the cute face is slightly straight, the big eyes are like two bright stars, and the slightly exposed dimples make every move he makes look playful and cute.

She stood on the street outside the church, shaking her head and looking left and right.

Only a few residents appeared in sight.

She tilted her head, thought seriously for a moment, and finally took a few more steps forward, then suddenly turned around, bowed slightly, and looked suspiciously.

The next second, a look as expected appeared in his eyes.

In her eyes, two panicked people suddenly appeared at the intersection behind her, inexplicably scattering to the left and right.

"Huh, there is indeed a ghost."

The girl snorted, returned to her posture and walked towards the church in front with her head held high.

However, a speechless expression began to appear on her face, and she muttered in her heart.

"The two people who were walking together suddenly separated to the left and right. It seems suspicious no matter what, right?"

She shook her head and ignored the fact that someone was following her, because she knew that the two people following her were members of her family.

"I'm already in college!"

The girl murmured, then looked at the church in front of her.

This church is small in scale and stands quietly, as if it is an island in time, isolated and connected to the world.

Its appearance is not as ostentatious as the churches in bustling urban areas or urban areas. It does not have gorgeous exterior walls and complicated decorations. It has only simple stones and ancient glass windows. Even so, it reveals a calm and solemn atmosphere. temperament.

As if she had thought of something, the girl looked at the door of the church, her eyes became a little dazed, and she sighed silently.

"I'm already in college, Onii-chan, why haven't you come back yet?"

She grabbed the shoulder strap of her backpack with both hands and walked towards the door in front of her.

After passing through the inner path, we came to the main entrance. When we opened the main entrance, a small courtyard appeared with several trees planted inside. Under the trees stood a man wearing a simple and dark robe. The wooden broom was silently sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.

There were already two piles of fallen leaves piled next to him.

The man had a strong build, only a little smaller than the figure she had been missing. He had a thick and rough beard covering his jaw and cheeks, and he also had short long hair that reached the back of his neck.

This image does not look like the church's guards, including the deacons and monks.

But Higa Makoto knew how skilled this man who didn't look like a deacon monk or Onii-chan's monk was.

I heard that all the nearby gangsters who are affecting public security have received relevant warnings. They have been extremely well-behaved recently and do not dare to appear within a ten-mile radius of this church.

Even the supernatural incidents plaguing this place were solved one after another by this inconspicuous man.

"This monk's marksmanship is very accurate. He can hit wherever he points. Although it is not as good as Nissan, it reminds me of Nissan when it came to the island country." Higa Makoto suddenly thought of what his sister Higa Kotoko said about this monk. .

Thinking of this, when he saw the man stop sweeping and looked over, Higa Makoto quickly walked over and said hello.

"Brother John."

John Wick's face still had the same expression as when he was a killer, without any unnecessary changes, he just looked at the girl who often came over in front of him.

"Come here to see Sister Irene?"

Higa Makoto smiled and said, "Yes."

John Wick nodded and reminded: "Sister Eileen is in the church now."

"Okay!" Higa Makoto kept smiling and said, "Then I'll go find her."

After coming to the church so many times, I have a certain understanding of this monk.

At the beginning, she might have misunderstood whether she was not welcome because of Brother John's paralyzed expression. However, after Sister Irene's explanation, she realized that Brother John was a cold-faced and warm-hearted monk, and he was definitely not like that. Don't let strangers approach you if you look like that.

"Yeah." John Wick nodded and resumed sweeping the floor.

Seeing this, Higa Makoto nodded to John Wick and continued walking towards the main building over there.

When she walked into the main building and disappeared, John Wick looked back at the direction where Higa Makoto disappeared, and his eyes moved.

"Is it my imagination? I always feel that there is an ominous aura about her."

Before their own bishop came back, they had never intervened in the affairs of the island country, but they, the deacons of Bishop York, had always been paying attention to the affairs of Sister Higa.

Because this is the sister of his own bishop. Although she is not a biological sister, he has exorcised the ghosts and ghosts implicated in Higa Makoto more than once.

"No, since there is an illusion, there must be something wrong."

John Wick's eyes froze for a moment, but he resumed sweeping the floor.

"Leave it to Sister Irene." He thought seriously while scanning.

At this time, Higa Makoto had already pushed open the door with a gap and looked over.

The church was filled with soft candlelight, and the candlelight shone on the surrounding exquisite decorations, filling it with a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.

There are also several exquisite religious paintings hanging on the walls. The light of the paintings shines with a mysterious and sacred brilliance under the light.

In the center is a small and exquisite altar. There are Bibles and crosses placed on the altar. They stand quietly, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere. Under the altar, a figure is kneeling there and praying quietly.

This figure is filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, which can make people feel a kind of spiritual purification.

This was Sister Irene that she and the nearby residents respected.

Looking at the figure who seemed to be praying, Higa Makoto hesitated for a moment, fearing that it would disturb Sister Irene, and hesitated whether to go in.

But at this moment, she suddenly discovered that Sister Irene suddenly bowed to the statue of Jesus in front of her and made a cross on her chest. Then she stood up and turned to look at her.

"Makoto?"

Seeing the nun's warm smile, Higa Makoto had no choice but to walk in.

"Sorry, Sister Eileen, I didn't know you were here."

But before she finished speaking, Erin interrupted her and smiled slightly.

"It's okay, it's just over. Come on over."

Irene gestured to the bench next to her. Every move she made was full of demureness and peace, which made Higa Makoto feel envious. She didn't know how she could have the temperament of Sister Irene, but she knew she would never be able to. Have such a temperament.

——

"Sister Eileen, someone confessed to me again yesterday." Higa Makoto said a little depressed.

Irene sat next to him and listened quietly to what Higa Makoto said, smiling with a layer of fluorescence in his eyes.

She chose to contact the Higa sisters because of her bishop. Compared to the cold and busy Higa Kotoko, the person closest to them at the moment is Higa Makoto.

After Higa Makoto found out that they were deacons, monks and nuns of the Bishop of York, they came to church almost every day.

The length of stay is different every time. Occasionally I will be in a daze for a while and then go back. Occasionally I will sit for a whole day in a daze and not know what I am thinking.

When she occasionally saw Higa Makoto showing trouble, when she started to ask, she didn't know when it started to evolve into the current relationship mode.

The other person talks, she listens, and occasionally gives advice.

"This is indeed surprising and joyful news." Erin smiled gently.

Higa Makoto glanced at the nun and sighed: "Sister Eileen, I feel that this kind of thing is so troublesome. I have sacrificed myself to dress up ugly, but there is still someone who will confess!"

"It seems that you have shown a unique charm in interpersonal communication, so you attracted the other person's attention." Irene smiled.

"Child, there are many kinds of likes. Some people may not just look at your appearance, but it may also be because of your charm and inner qualities."

Higa Makoto was stunned and sighed again.

"It seems I have to keep a low profile."

Erin raised her eyebrows: "You don't like it?"

"Yeah, I don't like it, because I already have someone I like." Higa Makoto said.

"Forget it, don't talk about this."

Saying that, Higa Makoto looked at Sister Irene seriously, pursed her lips and continued: "Sister Irene, Onii-chan hasn't come back yet?"

Erin shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Higa Makoto was silent for a moment and said.

"It's been almost a year and I've already gone to college. Do you think Onii-chan will be in any danger?"

After hearing this answer, Irene fell silent, because this time, her bishop spent even longer time than before.

Although because of this aspect, careful investigation revealed that the time it took for the popes in the past to enter the cracks in the world and return was basically based on years, and the fastest time was more than four years.

Therefore, the time it took for her bishop to enter the world rift and then return actually broke the record, but when almost a year passed, she felt vaguely uneasy.

It's not that she lacks self-confidence, but this uneasiness slowly grows over time and she can't control it.

"No, I believe the bishop will definitely come back."

Seeing Higa Makoto's worried look, Irene smiled and reached out to stroke her hair.

"You have to believe in the strength of the bishop. Have you ever fought side by side with the bishop? I think you should have a deep understanding of the strength of the bishop."

Hearing this, Higa Makoto thought of Yorkist's powerful gestures when exorcising evil spirits and ghosts that night, and felt a little relieved, but he also blushed at the word "fighting side by side."

"Actually, Onii-chan did it all by himself." Higa Makoto muttered in a low voice.

"I'm just a bystander."

Erin smiled, stopped stroking Higa Makoto's hair, and withdrew her hand.

"Makoto, can I ask you a question?"

Higa Makoto blinked and nodded.

"Have you been to any strange places?"

When she suddenly heard this sentence, Higa Makoto was really confused and didn't understand what it meant. However, when she saw Sister Irene reaching out and spreading her hands under her gaze, her pupils shrank slightly.

Because a small bug appeared in the palm of Sister Irene's open hand, and the bug was implicated in a ray of resentment, which meant that this bug was actually transformed from resentment and was not a real bug. .

"I pulled out the grievance that followed you." Sister Irene said calmly.

"This is how it changes."

After saying that, Irene closed her palms and clenched them into fists. White light appeared in the gaps in her palms. She forcefully eliminated this ray of resentment.

"I haven't been anywhere." Higa Makoto looked at Sister Irene and said blankly, but thought of something and still answered seriously.

"I once went to a classmate's home, but I didn't feel anything unusual."

Irene spread her hands and looked at the clean palms. She also thought of her bishop's words. She had to say that it was indeed what her bishop said.

People with psychic physiques or humans with psychic powers or psychic talents are like delicacies that attract evil things. Like fate and curse, they will encounter some dirty things wherever they go.

"Child, some things don't come to you until you see them with your own eyes." Irene said with a gentle smile.

"This is what the Bishop said to me. When you are not aware of it and have not done anything, it has already come to your door."

Higa Makoto frowned and became serious.

"Except for visiting that classmate's home, I haven't been anywhere else."

"It seems like something happened to your classmate." Irene said gently.

After working with the bishop for so many years, she is no longer the nun who just came out of the convent. Instead, she is a deacon nun who has experienced many battles.

"Son, can you take me to your classmate's neighborhood to have a look?"

Higa Makoto nodded and wanted to say something, but the figure that appeared at the front door interrupted her.

Brother John, who was sweeping the floor in the yard, appeared with a serious look on his face.

"Sister Eileen, can you come out and take a look? I see something very strange."

Erin nodded, got up from the bench and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Higa Makoto also quickly followed.

Led by John Wick, the group came to the green belt of the yard.

What is creepy is that the branches and leaves on those decorative green belts are covered with disgusting caterpillars.

"This is..." Higa Makoto looked at Irene who looked calm.

"This is the trace of its arrival." Irene said calmly.

"After I remove the resentment from you."

With that said, Irene looked at Higa Makoto and continued: "It seems that it wants to devour the spiritual power in your body, so it came to see who is standing behind you. This may be a wise and resentful ghost."

Higa Makoto said helplessly: "I will tell my sister."

She has encountered this kind of thing more than once. It can only be said that she is used to it. There will always be marks left by evil things on her body. This time the mark does not look like it is intended to hurt people, but like looking for opportunities to kill them. she.

"Oh, I won't go anywhere in the future." Higa Makoto thought depressedly. She was already so careful, but she didn't expect that she would still be targeted by dirty things.

"It should be so." Eileen said.

"But you should stay here until your sister comes."

"Okay!" Higa Makoto responded obediently.

"Brother John, burn them with holy water." Irene looked at the disgusting caterpillars covering the branches and leaves again and said.

"Otherwise these insects transformed from resentment will become its helpers."

John Wick nodded, took out a small bottle of holy water from his arms, pulled out the cork, and poured it on the caterpillars.

In an instant, unpleasant smoke rose from the bodies of these caterpillars, and finally turned into cracked rocks and disappeared into ashes.
