Marvel World Mixed Life
Chapter 127 The Tentacle Monster and the Vatican
Europe, Italy, Rome.
Plaza of Spain,
It is already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the warm afternoon sun shines on this Baroque-style building. Coupled with the crowds playing in the square and the leisurely tourists outside the English-style cafes on both sides of the street, among the various flower shops, it looks like a beautiful place. Extra chic and elegant.
Beside the Wishing Fountain made famous by the movie "Roman Holiday", there are couples throwing coins from time to time. There is already a thick layer at the bottom of the pool. If you fish it all up, it will be like robbing a bank... um... don't even think about fishing it. This is one of the most important sources of income for the local government.
In the back alley of the Wishing Fountain, the barber shop where Audrey Hepburn cut her classic short hair in the movie has long since disappeared. In its place was an ice cream parlor.
Li Mo was standing in front of the bright glass showcase, drooling and pointing. The guy shook his head and brought him two big servings.
How can you come to Italy without eating ice cream?
Wrong, it cannot be called ice cream. Even in English-speaking countries, Italian handmade ice cream still has its own term, gelato.
Intense in color, full-bodied in taste, and available in all kinds of collocations.
After killing one in a storm, Li Mo sat down leisurely on a bench in Plaza de España while holding the other one and savoring it carefully.
Beside the fountain, many children laughed and ran around barefoot in the water. Many couples take selfies with their mobile phones on the steps of the square, which is also one of the classic scenes of the movie.
About half an hour later, Li Mo got up and left here, and took the train to the Vatican at the train station not far away.
He bid farewell to the busy Tony a week ago and came to Europe for a trip. When I was in Paris, I received a call for help from the exorcist Thomas, and the old guy Marcus was injured.
The powerful pills he traded to Marcus have long been used up, and the old man's injury this time is a bit strange, and it hasn't healed for a month.
The desperate Thomas thought of Li Mo.
After all, they are all good friends, so even though they are not doctors, Li Mo rushed over quickly.
The train is the classic old-fashioned carriage, classical and chic, divided into compartments.
Most of the passengers in the car, Li Mo sat opposite a couple from the UK, who kept playing with their mobile phones after getting in the car.
Li Mo stared out of the window in a daze, muttering in his heart. Needless to say, the old horse's injury must have been suffered during the exorcism.
What surprised him was that even the Vatican was helpless?
After coming to this world, Li Mo had long abandoned his original worldview. Aliens, black technology, gods, devils, anything is possible.
Although there are no traces of these guys in the movie, Li Mo dare not underestimate these powerful religions at all. Who knows what is standing behind them...
After getting off the bus, a large group of hawkers rushed up immediately, selling all kinds of souvenirs in their hands non-stop, and the outside of the station seemed chaotic.
There are tourists everywhere, and there are even long queues of hundreds of meters outside some famous scenic spots. There was a lot of chatter and chatter.
This TM is the Vatican?
Li Mo was in a mess in a gust of wind, and had the illusion of returning to the May Day Golden Week in his previous life.
"Hey, Lee, here!" Thomas kept dancing and waving behind the crowd.
Li Mo shook his head and walked over, "Let's go, find a quieter place to talk, your place is really eye-opening."
Thomas nodded, and led Li Mo to avoid the huge and solemn religious buildings, and walked through alleys to a secluded monastery.
"The outside belongs to the secular part, and we belong to the monastery inside the Holy See. Many clergy don't even know our existence." Thomas introduced as he walked.
Li Mo scratched his head, why did this routine sound so familiar?
"By the way, have you quit your drug addiction?" Li Mo suddenly remembered, and said admonishingly, "It's best not to touch that stuff."
Thomas's expression was a little embarrassed and sad, "It's not my fault. On your birthday party, I was beaten unconscious by two thieves and then possessed by a devil. ..."
"And this thing, why didn't I know?" Li Mo's eyes widened, "There is also this kind of weird devil, what happened to that guy in the end?"
"I don't know." Thomas' face was also full of doubts, "That guy controlled my body, bought some things, performed some weird rituals, and then disappeared completely."
"What did he buy?" Li Mo asked.
"Some marijuana and poppy seeds, what is he doing with those things?" Thomas asked, scratching his head.
Li Mo had a strange expression on his face, "Don't worry about what he's going to do, I think you may relax in the future."
"No, you're wrong." Thomas' expression became serious, "Since last month, various supernatural events have occurred more and more frequently. Many places that seemed plausible before have also appeared real visions. It feels like something big is going to happen.”
"What's a big deal?" Li Mo shook his head mockingly, "Big things happen every day in this unlucky world. I wouldn't be surprised if the earth is destroyed someday."
"It's not the kind of aliens, and I can't tell." Thomas sighed and said nothing, leading the way with a solemn face.
This monastery looks very old, and many buildings have mottled marks on the walls. On the smooth brick and stone paths, plainly dressed priests walked by from time to time. Different from the glamorous guys outside, each of these people looked dull, with bitter expressions and deep hatred.
"These guys are all ascetic monks." Li Mo shook his head and made a joke.
"Well...they are real ascetic monks." Unexpectedly, Thomas replied with admiration.
Li Mo was choked for a moment. Does the ascetic monk have to have a bitter face?
Since coming to the Vatican, everything here is different from what he imagined.
Led by Thomas, the two passed through a small moss-covered courtyard and stepped on stone steps to a room on the second floor.
The room looks very rustic, with a bluestone floor, a simple layer of white paint on the walls, and a wooden cross hanging on it.
The furniture is all in the simplest style, and the wood has turned black. Marcus is lying on the bed unconsciously, and a middle-aged nun sits beside him to take care of him.
Seeing the two entering the room, the middle-aged nun stood up quickly, and said with a worried face: "He has another wound on his body. I'm afraid he won't last long, God bless."
"Please, Sister Janet. Don't worry, Marcus will be fine." Thomas nodded.
After the nun left, Li Mo immediately stepped forward to observe Marcus' injury.
After Thomas took off the bandage, Li Mo found that Marcus's body was covered with various large and small wounds, some of which looked like dagger piercing wounds, some of which seemed to be injured by blunt objects, and some scorched burns. Marcus closed his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was sometimes ferocious and sometimes frightened.
"Tell me what happened in detail." Li Mo frowned and said.
"He went to deal with a supernatural incident last month, but he was brought back in a coma. After that, these wounds began to appear on his body strangely." Thomas replied: "Because of my situation, I didn't go with him. He and another A priest named Chieri as a temporary partner."
"Where's Father Chieri?" Li Mo asked.
"He's been sued, and he's discussing the case with his lawyer." Thomas had a strange expression on his face, "He'll be here in a while, you can ask him for the details."
"Aren't you paladins?" Li Mo looked surprised, while Thomas shook his head and sighed deeply.
"Forget it, let's save his life first." Li Mo did not continue to ask, and took out a Dali Pill 2.0 from his arms and stuffed it into Marcus's mouth.
After Marcus swallowed it instinctively, the wounds on his body began to heal quickly, and his complexion gradually improved.
But then Li Mo frowned, and a gash appeared on Marcus's newly recovered chest, as if cut open by a sharp weapon, and blood soon oozed out.
Thomas ran over quickly, stopped the bleeding skillfully and said to Li Mo: "This is the case, and we don't know what to do."
"Don't you have a priest who can dispel negative states and perform lay on hands?" Li Mo asked curiously.
"This is not a game." The corner of Thomas's mouth was a little bit bitter, "Marcus is the most experienced among us. Our name sounds nice, Knights Templar. But in fact, we are not popular in the Holy See. And it keeps falling."
"How is it possible?" Li Mo's face was full of disbelief.
"How is it impossible?" A voice suddenly sounded at the door, "The higher ups only care about economic and religious influence. How much darkness we have repelled is meaningless to them."
Li Mo looked up and saw a middle-aged Italian man with a red nose and some balding.
"Thank you for coming." The man quickly walked up to Li Mo and stretched out his hand, "I am Father Chieri."
After the two sat down shaking hands, Father Chieri began to complain non-stop, "We are just a bunch of outdated guys who only think about fighting against the darkness, but we can't make money for them."
"How about your lawsuit..." Thomas asked suddenly.
"Forget it..." Father Chieri sighed and introduced what happened.
A week earlier, he had failed to exorcise a woman who begged to visit him. Despite the prior agreement, the woman's husband took him to court.
Even though he produced a video of the woman crawling up and down the ceiling in her bare feet, the judge was unable to find him not guilty.
Because this matter has become no longer simple after the city was full of trouble. Whether science or religion, no one dares to make a judgment lightly.
Speaking of this, Chieri's expression was a little mocking, "Hundreds of years ago, we slandered science as heresy. Hundreds of years later, we were regarded as superstition. Decades ago, people tried to use science to explain exorcism. Dozens Years later, everyone is eager to see supernatural phenomena. The most cases we have received in these years are the incidents of brain-dead youths who went to explore places with high incidence of supernatural phenomena by themselves. Do you think it’s funny?”
"Stop talking, keep your faith strong, Father Chieri!" Thomas shook his head, "Tell Mr. Li about the specific situation when you and Marcus went to exorcise demons."
"Okay, I'm sorry." Father Chieri said with a sigh, "This is what happened..."
A month ago, a horrifying and weird phenomenon occurred in a small town called Baden-Baden in Germany. Many children disappeared, and some adults showed symptoms like Marcus.
The local police had no clue, so the pastors in Germany reported the situation to the Holy See.
Chieri and Marcus partnered to Baden-Baden, and Marcus developed the symptoms the night before staying at the hotel.
Chieri sent someone to send Marcus back overnight. After a week of local investigation, he found no clues, so he had no choice but to rush back.
"Based on experience, what do you think it will be?" Li Mo asked curiously.
"It's like a nightmare, but that kind of thing will only press the bed, or make people have erotic dreams. This kind of situation will not happen or take away the child." Chieri said doubtfully.
"In a situation like this, wouldn't you ask experts for help?" Li Mo curled his lips.
"There is no master." Chieri smiled bitterly, "Marcus is the most powerful person I know."
"Don't you guys know Karma Taj and Master Gu Yi?" Li Mo was surprised.
"What's that?" Thomas asked curiously.
But Chieri's expression became serious, "I've heard some rumors, and I've seen some plausible records from the Holy See's classics. Is there really such a person?"
"No wonder you exorcists are so hard-working." Li Mo shook his head, "You don't know anything about the world."
"If there are such people." Chieri smiled bitterly, "Do you think they will take care of us based on what the Holy See has done for thousands of years?"
"It's your own fault!" Li Mo snorted angrily.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Thomas shook his head. "Marcus' injury can't be delayed any longer, and people are still dying in that town. And there are so many children!"
"It stands to reason that they should have sent someone to deal with this situation." Li Mo scratched his head, "Could something happen..."
"Can't we go find them?" Thomas asked anxiously.
"Well, I do know that Karma Taj has three sanctuaries in Nepal, London, Hong Kong and New York." Li Mo was a little embarrassed, "But those guys set up barriers one by one, I don't know the specific location .”
"Then what should we do?" The two priests were dumbfounded.
"Let's find a way to save Marcus first." Li Mo shook his head, "I have a way to see the flow of energy, which may help the current situation. It's just that my ability is a little scary, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"It's okay, we are exorcists." Thomas shook his head and said.
Chieri even mocked, "We have been trained strictly, not from those colleges."
Note: The Vatican established an exorcism class in 1999, and a graduation certificate will be issued as long as the money is paid.
"Okay." Li Mo nodded, and summoned the big eyeball with a wave of his hand.
Seeing the strange-sized eyeballs floating in the air and looking around, the two priests swallowed and took a step back cautiously.
"Ah~! Demons have invaded the Vatican!"
At the door, the middle-aged nun Janet screamed and passed out...
