North American Gunslinger Detective

Jimmy drove behind Father Rodney and came to a small church.This church looks abandoned. The white ash on the exterior wall has turned gray, and large parts of the wall are peeling off, exposing the bricks inside. The grass outside the church is also overgrown, but it is just more uninhabited and dilapidated. The area around the house is a little better. It can be seen that even if there are abandoned houses, this one is the last to be abandoned.

Father Rodney got out of the car, and Jimmy followed him. The two came to the door. Father Rodney took out an old-fashioned key from his body and opened the door lock. The door lock, which seemed to have a lot of dust on it, turned out to be It still opens smoothly and there doesn't seem to be any rust inside.

After opening the door and entering the church, Jimmy discovered that the inside of the church was actually quite good. Although there was a lot of dust and the furnishings inside were relatively simple and old, they were well-kept and there was no feeling of chaos. It seemed that even though it was the same It was abandoned, but there were still people who took care of it before it was abandoned.

Father Rodney: "Okay, Jimmy, we'll wait here all night today, and our people will be here tomorrow."

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, what is our mission here?"

Father Rodney: "I will say it, but not now. Now let's clean up the place where we will rest for the night. I have a lot of food and water in the car, but we still need a place to sleep."

Jimmy was also helpless. When he was in the church before, Father Rodney didn't tell him what incident he was coming to deal with this time. But it was clear that it must be related to supernatural events. But Jimmy estimated that it was almost time, because they obviously Already arrived at the destination.

And the companions Rodney said will come tomorrow. It seems that this mission will be very difficult, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange so many people. When Jimmy met Father Rodney and they had the largest number of people before, they only dispatched Just three people.

After cleaning the lounge in the church, Jimmy and Father Rodney sat on the bench in the lounge and opened the food and water they brought from the car. Only then did Father Rodney have time to explain the complete incident to Jimmy. process.

Father Rodney: "Jimmy, do you remember the two previous missions? We rearranged our manpower to investigate the situation of the entire Chaos Gate Church. Although their guardian Moraven is developing in New York, in fact Their home base is not in New York.

Following the tracking of their followers, we discovered this abandoned town.

There is a garbage recycling station at the back of the town. Our people found an ancient altar there. It can be seen that they have developed believers here a long time ago, but for some unknown reason, no one has ever known about them before. The presence. "

Jimmy: "So what are we going to do this time? Destroy the altar?"

Father Rodney: "Yes, if you can't destroy the altars, at least seal them."

Jimmy: "How many others will come to support?"

Father Rodney: "There are four more priests, they are from Connecticut and Massachusetts, hey." Father Rodney sighed, "The number of our exorcist priests is still too small. There was no problem before, but recently this The high-frequency supernatural incidents that have occurred over the past few years have cost us a lot of people."

Jimmy: "Don't worry so much. Didn't Father White of St. Andrew's Church say that your seminary has started to train new people? There should be enough manpower soon, right?"

Father Rodney shook his head: "Those newcomers are just to replenish the number. There are not many experienced exorcism priests. Especially the recent incidents seem to be getting more and more difficult. We have rarely encountered this kind of exorcism in the past few years." Hard work."

Jimmy: "Is it just like the previous two times?"

Father Rodney: "Yes, the reason why I called so many people here this time is because I am worried that the previous thing will happen again. Since there are already two invulnerable possessed demons, it may not happen again this time. I asked you to come here because I hope you can help. Our people are not familiar with guns. You were able to hurt them twice before. I hope you can gain something this time."

Jimmy was speechless, "Then you should have said it earlier. I didn't prepare many bullets this time. I only brought some spare bullets with me and a box of 25 rounds of bullets in the car."

Father Rodney said in surprise: "Aren't these enough? You haven't used much before, right?"

Jimmy raised his hand and looked at his watch: "There should be enough time now. Let me go to Woodstock next door to see if there is a gun store. I need to replenish bullets. Is there anything you need me to bring? I just happened to buy it together. ”

Father Rodney shook his head: "I don't need those, I have already brought all my weapons."

Jimmy: "OK."

Jimmy took out the FBI's mobile phone and recorded the GPS coordinates here. When going out, especially to unfamiliar places, in order to avoid forgetting the way back after going out, it is most convenient to use coordinate recording.

Woodstock is not a big city, just a small town nearby that looks okay. There is definitely no shortage of gun stores in this kind of place. Although the number of gun stores in the United States is not as many as convenience stores, it is basically guaranteed that every city has at least There are several to choose from.

Jimmy drove to Woodstock, and while looking for a gun store, he found a large supermarket where he could replenish his camping equipment.

Father Rodney brought some food and water in his car, but he didn't bring a sleeping bag. When they were cleaning the church, they found that there was indeed a wooden bed inside, but there was no sleeping bag. Jimmy really didn't want to sleep with his clothes on. I don’t know what Father Rodney was thinking, but he had to sleep all day without preparing anything.

In fact, it wasn't that Father Rodney didn't want to prepare, but on the way he learned that several priests in other places had been delayed due to some matters. They could have gathered here today, but now they had to wait until the next day.

Jimmy returned to the church with a sleeping bag, camping lights, batteries, food and water. Father Rodney also breathed a sigh of relief. This time he was really not prepared enough. In fact, they would have started working directly today, but since they were already here, he They planned to go to the site to check it out today, so they didn't plan to go to a nearby city to find a hotel to stay in. The camping equipment Jimmy brought back was just enough for them to stay here for a night.

Father Rodney and Jimmy prepared, and then they left the church together and went to the garbage recycling station in the north of the town.

It is said to be a garbage recycling station, but in fact it mainly recycles metals, old cars, old equipment and the like. It is not the kind of domestic garbage recycling station where flies are flying everywhere.

Jimmy and Father Rodney walked into the recycling bin and asked, "Father Rodney, how did you find this place? How did you determine that this is their home base?" Father Rodney: "We have our own According to the source of the information, we determined that the home base of the Gate of Chaos Church was nearby and arranged for people to come and search it, but we did not go through official channels.

A deacon of this town had come here before to inspect the altar he found. However, he seemed to have suffered some kind of mental shock and would be mentally confused for a period of time. After he returned to the church and responded to his findings, his mind became confused. Chaos, now he is recuperating in a monastery. "

Jimmy: "Then where is the altar you mentioned?"

Father Rodney: "The little house in front has a basement, right inside. It's not the big house, it's the tool shed next to it."

Jimmy nodded, and the two of them went directly to the outside of the cabin. Instead of rushing in, they checked outside first.The door of the hut was locked with a chain. The lock hanging on it looked new and had a cross mark. It looked like it should have been locked by the deacon who came to investigate before. Ordinary people should not use this kind of lock.

Jimmy's mental vision is still flawed, because he can only see outlines. As long as they are connected together, he cannot distinguish whether those things are separate or a whole. This also leads to the fact that he cannot clearly know what many things are. , he could only tell that there was indeed a basement-like space under the hut, but the surrounding walls were not flat, and there was not only a platform-like altar, but also a statue.

Father Rodney took out a bottle of high-concentration holy water, prayed first, and then applied it on his dagger and eyelids. Jimmy had already inquired about these things before. Father Rodney and the others could not directly see some invisible resentments. Spirit requires holy water as an auxiliary prop, which is completely different from Jimmy.

The reason why Jimmy was favored by Father Rodney and the others was that he could directly see the resentful spirits. At the same time, this was also a very regrettable point for Father Rodney and Father White. If Jimmy had been discovered by them when he was a child, he would definitely be in trouble. He will become an excellent exorcist priest, and his ability is enough to crush many people.

They checked their surroundings outside and did not enter the cabin because they did not know what would be inside and did not intend to enter directly before others arrived.

After checking to make sure the surroundings were safe, the two returned to the church to rest. In the early hours of the morning, Jimmy was suddenly woken up. He still felt the same heart palpitations as before, but he looked around and found nothing wrong with the church or nearby.

Jimmy looked at the location of the garbage collection station. Because it was far away, he couldn't see anything, but he was sure that something happened there, so he felt this way.

Jimmy looked at Father Rodney. He had no intention of waking up.He frowned and unzipped his sleeping bag and sat up. Since he had this palpitating feeling, something must have happened. He had experienced it many times before. A night without sleep was not a problem for him. He just sat like this. Been waiting all night.

Early the next morning, Jimmy and Father Rodney had a cold breakfast and lit a small bonfire outside the church. Soon two cars drove over and four people wearing black priest costumes got out of the car. .

Rodney walked up to them and said hello, and also introduced Jimmy by the way. Of course, he introduced his official status and said that he was here to bear witness.Jimmy greeted everyone, and the four of them entered the church to rest for a while before getting ready to set off.

Father Rodney's words are still very interesting. They don't intend to let Jimmy reveal his true ability in front of more people, so he is just a witness and is excluded from the action.

After looking at the time, it was almost noon. Father Rodney and the others walked to the front of the hut, took out a long key, unlocked the door, and put away the chain instead of throwing it aside.

Father Rodney was collecting the chains, and a priest next to him opened the door, and several people walked into the hut.This is the tool room, with many tools hanging on the walls on both sides. Their target is in the middle of the house. The sliding door on the ground is opened, and a staircase extends down.

Several priests all took out their weapons. In addition to the dagger, there was also a priest holding a pointed ax. The front part of the ax head was a chopping ax blade, and the back was a pointed head. It looked very powerful. The ax handle There are also various patterns on it, and Jimmy can't tell what they are, but judging from the priest's movements when holding the axe, he should be able to use this ax skillfully.

Jimmy also pulled out two 1875s. He also carried a cross-body bag hanging on his chest, which contained the spare bullets he had prepared. In addition, the dagger Father Rodney gave him before was hung on his belt, but He did not wear the ring given by Father White. He had previously considered whether there was something wrong with the ring, so he left it in a box at home.

Father Rodney walked at the front with a flashlight, Jimmy walked at the back, and several people filed into the basement.The basement was quite large, measuring thirty or forty square meters. As several people shined their flashlights, they found light bulbs on the wall, but the place was already deserted and had no electricity.

There is a platform at the innermost part of the basement. There is a life-size statue standing on the platform. The statue has its hands clenched and crossed on its left and right chests, and its head is slightly raised to face diagonally upward.

The platform in front of the statue looked different in color. Jimmy came closer and smelled a rotten smell. It seemed that this should be the place where they performed blood sacrifices. This should be formed after the blood was left on the platform to dry, but here No remains of the blood sacrifice were left behind.

There are four kneeling statues on both sides of the basement. They fold their hands on their knees and lean towards the middle altar.

Since entering the basement, Jimmy has had a cold feeling, which became clearer as he got closer to the statue.

Father Rodney and the others vigilantly checked the basement. It looked very abnormal, but as several people checked, nothing unusual happened. The priests walked back to the stairs and said a few words, and finally prepared to go ahead. Leave the basement and come back to destroy the altar when you are ready.

Jimmy followed them away and watched Father Rodney chain the hut again before several people left.

Jimmy pulled Father Rodney and they walked behind, "Father, what are you going to do with this place?"

Father Rodney: "Go back and prepare. We need to do an exorcism in the basement and break their statues."

Jimmy asked in surprise: "That's it? So simple?"

Father Rodney nodded: "As long as the statue is broken and the source of the evil god's power is expelled, it will be over here."

Father Rodney's expression was not relaxed. He had fought against the Chaos Gate people twice in a row before. How could it be so simple? (End of chapter)
