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 an extraordinary creature, then at least under normal circumstances, he is still normal, there is no abnormality apparent.
This situation also exists in the incidents he has dealt with in the past.
Some people die by suicide, and the ghosts left in the world will repeat their previous behaviors without knowing that they are dead.
There are also some evil spirits that only affect the host under certain circumstances, because their own strength is not strong enough, they can only weave traps like spiders, and then deceive people to kill.
And Colin said that before this, there was no abnormal situation. It was just last month that he asked the owner of the bookstore next door to turn on the switch, and this strange situation happened.
Therefore, Vincent made an assumption for the time being, thinking that it might be during that time, when the god-level dream beast was bred, the number of dream cracks in this place increased, causing some low-level dream beasts to run out.
And hidden in advance, with the help of the cover of god-level ether fluctuations, he escaped the attention of the Secret Ritual Tower and the Truth Society.
- He currently does not perceive the breath of ghosts, so it is more likely that dream beasts or other extraordinary creatures are at work.
Vincent came fully prepared, but did not expect that something unexpected happened in the first step.
The other party was more… awake than he imagined.
Not only did he not have any signs of being possessed, he was even judged to be the priest of the Dome Church.
However, this bookstore did reveal a very strange atmosphere, and after walking in, I felt traces of ether fluctuations.
This shows that there have been extraordinary or extraordinary creature activities here.
For example, the gargoyle on the counter has an extremely cold aura of resentment. Vincent felt that he seemed to have found the culprit.
Colin's request for help is not groundless, but... The direction seems to be wrong. The owner of the bookstore has no problem. The problem is the decoration in the bookstore or the bookstore.
But now the situation seems a little dangerous.
When he came to exterminate the spirits in full armor, the other party suddenly asked if you were the priest of the Dome Church. No matter what you thought, it seemed to be a warning.
Then... Maybe I was bewitched.
Vincent's thoughts turned fast, he remained vigilant, calmed down his mood, cleared his throat, walked over and sat down, and said, "Yes, I'm doing a job in the parish."
When he speaks, he pays careful attention to "observing" the other person's expression.
-Although the clergy of the church must be blindfolded at night to ensure that they cannot see the moon, they will also obtain the unique vision "moon eye" given by the moon. effect on the opponent's physical condition.
But when he looked at the owner of the bookstore, he was completely an ordinary person.
Since the problem isn't with people, there must be something else Colin doesn't know about... The bookstore owner might be a victim too.
He can try to convince the other party to leave here first, and then exterminate the gargoyle.
"Work?"
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, the priest in front of him seemed to be more conscientious, and he could clearly hear something "if you mean anything".
It's like there is something you want to say, but you're too embarrassed to say it directly.
Since it was said that he was working, and he came to his shop with a purpose, it should be for his work.
So what is the job of a priest
Apparently, administering the church under its jurisdiction, carrying out missionary activities, conducting Masses and weddings, praying for the dying, confessing, sacraments of death, and... exorcism.
Lin Jie felt that if a priest suddenly came over, he would never come to preach, and the rest seemed unlikely.
So he thought of the previous police officer who came in to check and said that the owner of the video store seemed to regard him as an "evil spirit" for some reason.
Lin Jie suddenly realized, with a funny expression: "It's Colin, right? He regarded me as an 'evil spirit', so he invited someone to expel me as a ghost?"
No wonder he was hesitant to speak, but because of his own misunderstanding, Colin regarded him as an evil spirit, and specially invited a priest to come.
It really makes people wonder 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 he had been secretly holding in his hand almost slipped from his hand, how did he know? !
Lin Jie looked at the "subtle" expression on the priest's face, and felt that he had empathized with the other party. From this, he felt that embarrassment and embarrassment, and it was not easy to explain it directly.
This Colin is really outrageous!
He went all the way to invite the priest, and the result was such a ridiculous situation.
Guessing from the tone of the previous police officer, Colin must have clearly identified Lin Jie as an "evil spirit". The priest is probably also very distressed, so he wants to come to him, another party, to discuss countermeasures.
Lin Jie sighed: "Actually, this is a big misunderstanding. Although I don't know why he thinks so, but I am obviously just a very ordinary bookstore owner. I am full of flesh and blood, and I am willing to help others, and I have helped him."
He looked distressed, and then remembered something, his eyes were very confident: "By the way—the police officers who came here two days ago also heard Colin's nonsense, and I explained to them that they can help me testify."
The three police officers clearly went out lying down, and Vincent's face became even more ugly.
"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, this is a souvenir given to me by one of my guests, the gargoyle, it is used to scare away evil spirits and ward off evil spirits. It is a must for the town house. It's an evil spirit, how could it be possible to put a gargoyle on the counter like this?"
Vincent's eyes widened, and the gargoyle in front of him was suddenly looking at him.
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 deceased who contained hundreds of deceased in those evil eyes with blood-red rays of light were constantly squirming and roaring, extending their claws outwards!
Lin Jie took the gargoyle back and pushed the flower pot over: "And the roses I planted by myself, you see it is so beautiful, I am definitely a person who loves life."
Vincent didn't have time to withdraw his hand and touched the rose again.
He's almost creepy!
The petals felt like flesh and blood, and they were full of sharp fangs, as well as moist, squirming, bloodshot… spherical objects.
like eyeballs!
"enough!"
Vincent shouted out subconsciously, then jerked back and retracted his hand.
"Dang!"
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 it's time to explain the situation to Colin with this ample evidence."
Lin Jie picked up the holy emblem, smiled, handed it over and said slowly, "Father, your belongings have fallen."
