Chapter 16 Asking for Help
"Then what? What's the name of that demon?!" Lin Yuanqi asked nervously.
Wilson shook his head and told everyone that at the same time that evil figure appeared, assistants Richard and Downey suddenly felt like thousands of troops roaring past, and the cold air swept through and deafening screams of terror filled the entire place.
storehouse.
The devil's low murmur made them feel as if their heads were about to explode. In the end, they failed to hold on and fainted one after another in the warehouse.
By the time Richard and Donnie woke up, it was already early the next morning.
They didn't know what happened in the warehouse last night. There was a mess all around, and the old pastor was covered in blood and lying weakly among the wheat stacks not far away. Richard quickly went up to help him up and found the old pastor.
He held a mirror tightly in his hand.
"At that time, Richard quickly carried the pastor on his back and planned to take him to the hospital. When he was dying, the old pastor spoke intermittently and asked Downey to find a place to hide the mirror. It would be best if it never saw the light of day.
." Wilson said that the pastor died shortly after being sent to the hospital due to ineffective rescue efforts.
As for Downey, after he came back from handling the tasks assigned by the priest, he seemed to be a changed person.
Worried, he found Richard and asked him to move out of the town as soon as possible, as far away as possible. Downey himself also quit the relevant job and planned to start a new life in a different place.
Richard was puzzled, and after repeated inquiries, he learned that although the old priest paid the price with his life, his seal was not completely successful. Although the devil was imprisoned in the mirror, it was only temporary.
After leaving the farm, Downey quickly rushed into the forest, trying to find a place to bury the mirror forever without being discovered.
But not long after entering the woods, he felt a frightening evil force coming from the mirror. The devil's voice rang in his ears, whispering in a low voice, telling Downey that everything the priest did was just...
In vain.
Only then did Downey discover that there was a slight crack on the surface of the mirror in his hand. He felt as if his body was out of control, and he had an evil thought deep in his heart, wanting to hit the mirror directly.
broken.
Downey was afraid that the demon would invade his will and use his body to destroy the seal items. With the thought of dying together, he kept fighting, struggling and escaping deep into the forest, and finally came to the edge of a pond.
, jumped down with a mirror.
Fortunately, the moment he entered the water, the power attached to his body also disappeared. Downey watched the mirror fall out of his hands and sink to the bottom of the lake. Exhausted, he used his last strength to swim to the shore and finally got lucky.
Escape from death.
"So that's it." After hearing what Wilson said, Ling Yun and others all showed their faces with understanding. The sealing props at the bottom of the lake gradually collapsed over the past thirty years, and the devil returned. Any child who has been close to the waterfall will be bewitched.
.
But yesterday, Zhu Qingrong's team was attacked even though they had not been near the waterfall. This is enough to prove that the devil is now completely free.
"Do you have any clues about the demon's identity?"
Ling Yun walked around the living room and observed the religious murals hung by Wilson on the wall: they all depicted horrific scenes about hell, or pictures of demons coming to the world and bringing disasters to the world.
Wilson pulled out a white speech board from behind the sofa and said solemnly: "These are the clues I collected from the relatives of the victims and people around them over the past fifteen years. I still remember that before the accident, my son Jack once said
Have you ever seen a pair of red eyes at the bottom of the lake? In fact, he was not the only one, but other children also said they saw the devil."
Everyone found that the whiteboard was filled with text, almost all of which were details about the disappearance. Some of the places were marked by Wilson with red circles.
Before the Anderson family was murdered in 2005, a neighbor said that his youngest son, who was only seven years old at the time, had been talking to himself in the garden all afternoon. When he asked about it, he was told that he was talking to a tall, thin man.
Uncle Beard plays games.
A similar situation occurred in the Green family in 2009. The missing nine-year-old girl mentioned to her playmates more than once before the incident that recently there was always a sister wearing a floral skirt wandering outside her house and calling her name all the time.
.
The same was true for the Hill family who was shot dead in 2014. The second son Green was always awakened by nightmares at night, crying and telling his parents that every time he turned off the lights, an old man with white hair would appear next to his bed in his bedroom.
Wearing a black robe and a long beard, he looked exactly like the evil wizard described in fairy tale books.
"There are other children who witnessed all kinds of strange people before they disappeared mysteriously." Wilson believed that the object described by the children was the devil.
"It seems that in the eyes of different people, it will appear in different images. After suffering a loss, this devil has become more and more cunning." Ling Yun held his chin in thought, and based on the current situation, he wanted to investigate the identity of the other party.
, it’s really a bit difficult.
Now that there are no other clues, Ling Yun does not intend to stay any longer.
Before leaving, Wilson took out an old and yellowed photo from somewhere and gave it to Ling Yun. The photo showed a man's palm, with faint scars on it, like burns, forming a strange
shape.
He told everyone that this photo was given to him by Richard, and it showed Downey's injured palm. When Downey escaped death, he swam from the river to the shore and discovered that his right hand had held the mirror.
The palm of the hand was already bloody and bloody. After the wound was washed away by water, such a mark appeared in the palm of the hand.
Although it was a pity that the old priest did not have time to say the name of the devil before he died, Richard believed that the determined Downey was not possessed by evil forces, and the mark left on him might be related to the devil.
related to his true identity.
"Thank you, Mr. Wilson." Ling Yun took the photo and thanked him repeatedly.
"It's just a little effort, there's only so much I can do."
Wilson sent everyone to the door, glanced at Li Xinjian and Tang Yao, and said solemnly: "Although he moved away from the town and away from right and wrong, for more than thirty years, Richard has never been able to worry about this matter. I plan to
Ask Richard for help and ask him to use his connections to contact nearby churches. If everything goes well, he should be able to find an exorcist to help. But in the meantime, I hope you can protect your children."
"Really? Thank you very much!"
Lin Yuanqi didn't expect Wilson to be so enthusiastic. After all, given their current situation, if they asked the church for help, they would definitely not be able to find reinforcements within three days.
However, after hearing Wilson's words, they regained hope.
Since the old priest had a way to seal demons back then, it proves that exorcism is indeed useful in this instance.
