Chapter 105

Vincent's footsteps stopped instantly.

He originally planned to conduct a test first, because according to Colin, the bookstore is still operating as usual. If the owner of the bookstore is indeed an evil spirit or is affected by a superhuman creature, then at least under normal circumstances, he is still normal and has no abnormalities. Representational.

This situation also exists in the incidents he has dealt with in the past.

Some ghosts who committed suicide and remained in the world will repeat the behavior of their previous lives without knowing that they are dead.

There are also some evil spirits that only affect the host under certain circumstances. Because they are not strong enough, they can only weave traps like spiders, and then deceive and kill people.

As Colin said, before that, nothing unusual happened. It was last month that he asked the owner of the bookstore next door to turn on the switch, and then something strange happened.

Therefore, Vincent made a hypothesis for the time being, thinking that during that time, during the birth of the god-level dream beast, the number of dream rifts in this place increased, causing some low-level dream beasts to also escape.

And concealed in advance, with the help of the cover of the god-level ether fluctuations, it escaped the attention of the Secret Ritual Tower and the Truth Society.

——He didn't sense the breath of ghosts at the moment, so it was more likely that it was caused by dream beasts or other extraordinary creatures.

Vincent was fully prepared to come, but he didn't expect that something unexpected seemed to happen in the first step.

The other party is more... sober than he imagined.

Not only did he not show any signs of being possessed, but he was even judged to be the priest of the Dome Church.

However, this bookstore does reveal a very strange atmosphere, and after walking in, I can feel the traces of ether fluctuations.

This shows that there have been extraordinary people or extraordinary biological activities here.

For example, the gargoyle on the counter had an extremely gloomy aura of resentful spirits. Vincent felt instantly that he had found the culprit.

Colin's request for help was not groundless, but...the direction seemed to be wrong. The owner of the bookstore had nothing wrong with it. The problem was with the bookstore's furnishings or the bookstore.

But now this situation seems a little dangerous.

When he was fully armed and came to eliminate the spirit, the other party suddenly asked if you were the priest of the Dome Church. No matter how you think about it, it seems to be a warning.

Then... Maybe he was bewitched.

Vincent's thoughts turned quickly, he remained vigilant, calmed himself down, cleared his throat, walked over and sat down, and said, "Yes, I'm working on a job in this parish."

When he spoke, he carefully "observed" the other person's expression.

——Although the clergy of the church must be blindfolded at night to ensure that they will not see the moon, they will also get the unique vision "Moon Eye" bestowed by the moon. In addition to seeing things in a blindfolded or dark state, they can also See the effect of the other person's physical condition.

But when he looked at the owner of the bookstore, he was completely ordinary.

Since the problem is not with the person, there must be other circumstances that Colin does not know about... The bookstore owner may also be a victim.

He can try to persuade the other party to leave here first, and then remove the spirit of this gargoyle.

"Work?"

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, the priest in front of him seemed to be a more conscientious one, and he could clearly hear something in the words "as if he meant something".

It's like I have something to say, but I'm too embarrassed to say it directly.

Since it was said that he was working, and he came to his shop more purposefully, it should be for his work.

So, what is the job of a priest?

Obviously, governing the church members in the area under its jurisdiction, conducting missionary activities, celebrating mass and weddings, praying for the dying, confession, last sacrament and... exorcism.

Lin Jie felt that if a priest came suddenly, he would not be here to preach, and the rest seemed unlikely.

So he thought of what the police officer who came in to investigate said that the owner of the video store seemed to regard him as an "evil spirit" for some reason.

Lin Jie suddenly realized, and showed a funny expression: "It's Colin, he regarded me as an 'evil spirit', so did he invite someone to exorcise me as a ghost?"

No wonder he was hesitant to speak, Colin actually regarded him as an evil spirit because of his own misunderstanding, and specially invited the priest to come.

This really makes people don't know how to feel.

Vincent's face changed suddenly, but fortunately he controlled it in time so that no flaws were revealed, but the silver holy emblem that had been secretly held in his hand almost slipped from his hand, did he know it? !

Lin Jie looked at the "subtle" expression on the priest's face, and felt that he had empathized with the other party, from which he felt the embarrassment and embarrassment, which was difficult to express directly.

This Colin is really outrageous!

The priest was invited all the way, and the result was this dumbfounding situation.

Guessing from the tone of the police officer before, Colin must have identified Lin Jie as an "evil spirit" with certainty. The priest is probably also very distressed, so he wants to come to him, another client, to discuss countermeasures.

Lin Jie sighed: "Actually, this is simply a huge misunderstanding. Although I don't know why he thinks so, but I'm obviously just a very ordinary bookstore owner, with flesh and blood, willing to help others, and I also helped him."

He looked heartbroken, then remembered something, and said with firm eyes: "That's right—the police officers who came here two days ago also heard Colin's nonsense, and I also explained it to them. I testify."

The three police officers obviously went out lying down, and Vincent's expression became even uglier.

"Look, Father."

In order to prove his innocence, Lin Jie brought over the gargoyle that had been standing beside him.

He smiled and said: "I didn't have time to tell the three police officers that this is a souvenir given to me by one of my guests. Gargoyles are used to scare away evil spirits and ward off evil spirits. They are necessary for town houses. If I It's an evil spirit, how could it be possible to put a gargoyle on the counter like this?"

Vincent opened his eyes wide, and the gargoyle in front of him was staring at him suddenly.

The bookstore owner took his hand and pressed it on the gargoyle: "Father, you can touch it, the craftsmanship of this gargoyle is also very good."

He could almost clearly see that the souls of the tragic dead containing hundreds of dead people were wriggling and roaring, stretching out their sharp claws in the evil eyes that were bursting with blood-red light!

Lin Jie took the gargoyle back, and pushed the flower pot over: "And the rose I planted by myself, you see it is so beautiful, I am definitely a person who loves life."

Before Vincent could withdraw his hand, he touched the rose again.

He's almost creepy!

The petals feel like flesh and blood, full of sharp teeth, and wet, wriggling, bloodshot... spherical objects.

Like eyeballs!

"enough!"

Vincent yelled subconsciously, then leaned back suddenly, and took his hand back.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal falling on the table sounded, and Vincent suddenly realized that the holy emblem in his hand had fallen!

"Enough? Oh... now we can use these sufficient evidences to explain the situation to Colin."

Lin Jie picked up the holy emblem, smiled, handed it over and said slowly: "Father, your things have been lost."
