North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 298 Exorcism Ceremony

Jimmy thought it would take at least two hours for them to arrive, but more than half an hour later, Lambert's phone rang.

Lambert took Jimmy and Sam out of the police station, drove straight to the north of the town, and found a helicopter parked in the open space, its fan blades almost stopped.

A middle-aged man wearing a black priest's uniform and a young man in a white church uniform stood next to the helicopter. Lambert directly asked Sam to drive the car next to the helicopter. After he got out of the car and shook hands with the priest, the two got into the car.

Heading straight to the Red River, Jimmy led the way, all the way to the bend of the Red River.

Everyone got out of the car, and Lambert stood by the river with Father Horton: "This is it, Father Horton, please."

Jimmy has not been to the river since he saw the upgrade of Silk Thread's Mind Eye. Knowing that this is the center and perhaps the most dangerous place, he instinctively avoided it and only looked for clues outside.

When he came to the river this time, he could already detect the problem. At the bottom of the river at the corner, there was a completely different color from the surrounding land. If the land was black, this area would be gray mixed with changing lines. As the

As the crowd arrived, some lines had already started to move in the direction of the crowd, but they went back before they stretched out much.

It's noon now, maybe the sun can really suppress this kind of thing. Jimmy thought so, and he had been observing Father Horton. The priest's entourage opened the box he carried with him, took out a cross from it and handed it to him.

Father Horton, then took two more bottles out of the box.

Father Horton stood in front of everyone, facing the river, holding a Bible in his left hand and a cross in his right hand, reciting something in a low voice. After that, the priest raised the cross above his head, and the sun shone on the cross and cast a shadow on the river.

Shadow of the cross.

"Hey~~"

A harsh sound came, and Jimmy felt as if he had been punched in the brain. It was very uncomfortable. The sound was even more uncomfortable than the sharp toothache sound of a knife scraping glass. Jimmy felt a headache and nausea, and could not help but

He bent down, covered his ears with his hands, opened his mouth and shouted, but he made no sound.

The sound only lasted for a short time. When the sound disappeared, Jimmy finally recovered. He looked up and looked at the people next to him. It seemed that he was the only one affected by the sound. Father Horton had already put the cross back on his chest, and Lambert

Both Te and Sam turned to look at him, their mouths wide open, with a look of surprise on their faces.

The way Jimmy looked just now was not acting. His real expressions and movements showed that Jimmy was indeed very uncomfortable, but why were others not affected?

Lambert shouted to Father Horton: "Father Horton, what's the problem?"

Holden turned to look at Lambert, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Jimmy who looked panicked, and he frowned: "Did you hear that?"

Jimmy nodded, with lingering fear, that kind of sound was really uncomfortable.

Holden turned to look at Lambert: "There is indeed a problem here. I think you can go back and leave it to us to deal with."

Lambert nodded and waved, and Sam and Jimmy followed Lambert and turned to leave.

Father Holden suddenly said: "You stay." Although he didn't say his name, Jimmy stopped and turned to look at Holden: "Me?"

Holden nodded, and Lambert also heard their conversation, nodded to Jimmy, took Sam back to the car, and drove away.

Jimmy: "Father Horton, what do I need to do?"

Holden smiled and said to Jimmy: "You don't have to do anything, just stand here. You are very talented, just get in touch with it more."

Jimmy took a few steps and came to Holden's side: "Okay."

Holden took two bottles from the assistant and took out a silver plate from the box. He mixed the water and powder in the bottles on the silver plate, then cleared a small open space on the ground, and then poured the mixture on the ground.

I drew a few symbols.

This is a rare opportunity for on-site observation, but Jimmy has no idea what those symbols mean. What is certain is that they are definitely not English letters.

After Horton finished painting, he stood up, took his Bible and cross from his assistant, said something in a non-English tone, then raised the cross and projected the cross onto the river again.

Jimmy didn't look at Holden anymore, but looked at the abnormal area at the bottom of the river. As Holden's tone changed, the gray shadow area moved. Some lines left the gray shadow, flew out of the river, and all fell into the ground.

He paused at the symbol he just drew, but Jimmy didn't notice any changes in the symbol on the ground. It was so strange.

As more and more lines flew out of the river, the gray shadow suddenly rioted. The large gray shadow left the river and came to the surface of the river. Now it was clear that this was the fog that Jimmy saw yesterday, but

It may be due to the quantity. The fog that seemed very light yesterday was a bit too thick today.

After the fog rose to the surface of the river, Father Horton put the cross on his chest. When the fog rushed towards him, his hand holding the cross suddenly changed his grip, from holding the bottom of the cross to holding the cross.

The middle part is like holding a long sword, slashing at the fog.

In Jimmy's eyes, compared with yesterday, the fog was not only thicker, but also had more white dots. Yesterday there were only 6 white dots, but today there are more than a dozen in this fog, some of which are moving very fast.

, moving back and forth within the fog range.

As Father Horton swung the cross as a sword a few times, some white dots in the fog suddenly disappeared. These white dots disappeared very regularly. They were basically on the path of the cross. Some of the white dots were not even visible at all.

Being touched by the cross is very strange, as if there is an extra sword blade in front of the cross.

Father Horton has obviously practiced using a long sword. He holds the Bible in his left hand on his chest, and holds the cross in his right hand and waves it with one hand. His feet are also moving according to the fog. If you can't see the fog, it feels like he is dancing like a master.

It's the same with people, or it's like using a green screen when filming a movie, and then adding special effects later.

With Father Horton's attack, the fog gradually dissipated. Finally, some fog was left and he suddenly recovered and prepared to escape. Jimmy pulled out his revolver and shot at the only three white spots on the fog. This time the shooting was completely subconscious.

I just didn't want the mist to escape, but these 6 shots knocked out three fast-moving white spots on the mist.

The fog dissipated on the river surface without returning to the river. Holden turned to look at Jimmy and frowned: "How did you do that?"

Jimmy took out 6 rounds of bullets from his pocket, shook his head while changing the bullets, and said, "I don't know, I just saw it trying to escape, so I shot it."

"Poof", after the mist dissipated, the symbols Holden drew on the ground made a soft sound and spontaneously ignited. They burned very quickly, leaving only a few symbol-style black ash on the ground.

Holden looked at Jimmy. The spontaneous combustion of the ground symbol did not make him turn his head. Jimmy also looked at Holden after seeing the symbol spontaneously ignited and extinguished.

Holden: "With your back to the sun, stand still."

Holden made a gesture to the assistant, and the assistant came to Jimmy, while Holden walked behind Jimmy. He opened the Bible with his left hand, placed the cross on the Bible, and covered the cross with his right hand.

After remaining still for more than a minute, Holden picked up the cross and placed it behind Jimmy.

"Yeah~~" came again, and Jimmy once again felt the feeling of being stabbed in his brain just now. He had a headache, nausea, and his body could not help but bend down. The assistant in front of him suddenly grabbed Jimmy's hands and pulled them away to the left and right.

"Ah~~" Jimmy shouted, this time he could shout out, instead of the time before when he could only open his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

After exhaling all his breath, Jimmy's screams had stopped. Because of the pain, he even forgot to breathe. Finally, the assistant let go of his hands, and Jimmy fell directly to the ground and passed out.

Jimmy couldn't see his situation, and Holden behind him breathed a sigh of relief. Jimmy's abnormal behavior before made Holden think there was something wrong. Just now he shot away the last fog ball, directly letting Holden

Confirmed my thoughts.

Generally speaking, people who can kill resentful spirits are usually demon hunters or monks from churches and various monasteries. In addition to various demon-killing weapons, they basically rely on the blessing of faith and will to achieve elimination or

To expel evil spirits.

Jimmy is just an FBI agent, and he still uses gunpowder weapons like revolvers. It looks like an ordinary gun, not a heritage weapon or a reforged sacred object, so it is very interesting that he can kill the wraiths.

Holden used a Bible and a cross to perform an exorcism ceremony on Jimmy without resistance. If he were a normal person, he would not feel any discomfort if he placed the cross on his back during the ceremony. Some believers

You can even feel the divine power on the cross, and Jimmy screamed out as soon as the cross was placed on it, indicating that there was abnormal energy accumulation in his body. When the cross blessed by faith came, due to the power gap, he was

Directly expelled from the possessed body.

This abnormal energy is not necessarily the power of demons or evil spirits. It may just be other forces that are contrary to the beliefs of the Holy See, such as cultists. But no matter what it is, the basic principle of exorcism is to suppress the body with a kind of force.

Another force is driven out.

As time passed, where Jimmy couldn't see, Holden saw traces of black smoke floating from Jimmy's head and dispersing in the air.

It wasn't until no more black smoke appeared that Holden signaled the assistant in front to let go of Jimmy, who fell to the ground and passed out.

Holden handed the cross to his assistant, took out his cell phone and called Lambert over.

When Lambert and Sam drove over, they saw this strange situation. Holden and his assistant were standing aside, while Jimmy fell on his side on the ground, curled up and in a coma.

After getting off the car, Lambert ran to Jimmy, squatted down and called him: "Jimmy! Jimmy!" Jimmy didn't make any move and was still breathing. Lambert stood up and looked at Holden: "What happened? Why Jimmy?

Will you faint?"

Holden did not explain: "Don't worry, he's fine. Take him back and have a good rest. The problem of Red River has been solved. Just arrange for someone to clean up the bottom of the river and burn the dug out things."

Lambert: "I just want to know why he was in a coma? What happened?"

Horton: "I just performed an exorcism ritual for him. He had come into contact with some unclean things and they have been dealt with."

Lambert nodded, and Sam came over and carried Jimmy to the car with him. Sam drove into Jimmy's car, and several people returned to the helicopter. Holden and his assistant left in the helicopter, while Lambert and the others went directly

I drove out of Tata Town and headed to the city to find a hospital and conduct a check-up on Jimmy.

The examination results were very good. Jimmy was just in a coma, and his life was not in danger. All physiological indicators were normal. Lambert and the others were relieved. Jimmy only woke up in the afternoon. After the doctor confirmed, they left the hospital and returned to the hospital.

Tata Town.
