North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 688 Awakening
He couldn't see anything in front of him. After waiting for a while, Superintendent Porter couldn't stand it any longer.

The actions of Jimmy and Father Bennett just now made the three policemen startled. They thought something was going on. They all pulled out their guns and were nervous for a while, but saw nothing. However, Jimmy still After pulling out two strange-looking revolvers, they did not dare to speak casually. They waited until now to start speaking: "Agent Yang, have you discovered anything?"

Jimmy stared at the lake without looking back: "I feel a little uncomfortable, I always feel like someone is staring at me."

Superintendent Porter: "We didn't see anything. Do we need to spread out and look for it?"

Jimmy: "No, stay back and don't move."

Superintendent Porter frowned and looked at Jimmy. They were police officers, and Jimmy was an FBI agent. He was not in a direct management relationship, but Jimmy's wife fell into a coma while handling a case in their jurisdiction. He really didn't know what to do in this situation. Done.

Father Bennett didn't pay attention to their conversation. After staying in place for a while, he took out a small bottle of holy water from his pocket, knelt down and sprinkled a little on the ground. A little bit of the holy water rose up where it had been poured on the ground. Light smoke.

Father Bennett stood up, "Jimmy, we need to evacuate here temporarily."

Jimmy: "Did you find anything?"

Bennett: "The ground here has been soaked, but I can't pinpoint the location right now."

Jimmy: "OK, you retreat first, I will take the rear."

Bennett took two steps back and came to Superintendent Porter: "Let's go back first."

They turned around and just took a few steps, "Bang, bang, bang!" Three gunshots rang out, and several people immediately turned around and drew their guns at Jimmy's position, but Jimmy was no longer where he was. He fell sideways and followed closely. Then he fired another shot into the air, "Bang", and then slowly stood up.

Father Bennett had been on alert just now. Of course, he had seen a little more than Superintendent Porter and the others. When he turned around, he saw a light blue spirit body rushing towards Jimmy's position, but Jimmy dodged it. He dodged to one side, and the shot fired by Jimmy directly scattered the light blue spirit body, and disappeared into the air very quickly.

Bennett ran up to Jimmy and asked as he ran, "Where did it come from?"

Jimmy: "In the lake, but it comes out from the right, not in front of us."

Bennett: "Show me."

Jimmy walked to the right, and Bennett followed Jimmy. He took out a small bag from his pocket, grabbed a handful of silver powder from it, stood near where Jimmy pointed, and gently sprinkled the silver powder in the air. , the powder did not fall to the ground immediately, but slowly spread in the air, as if the wind was blowing them away, and soon covered a small area and fell on the lake.

Soon, the lake water fluctuated violently, and a scream came. Except for Jimmy and Bennett, Superintendent Porter and the other two policemen all reached out to cover one ear with painful expressions, pointing their guns at the lake reluctantly. Put it down. In this case, although I don't know if the gun is useful, it is safer than covering your ears with your hands.

Father Bennett shouted loudly for the blessing of the Lord and exorcised evil. At the same time, he held a Bible and raised the cross to the lake. Jimmy had already replaced the shell casings that had been knocked out of the magazine when he came over just now, and was now using his hands. Aim the gun at the lake.

The inner eye vision cannot see the situation under the lake water, but normal vision can already see abnormalities. The originally calm lake surface is now fluctuating violently, but there is a small area in the middle that has become much darker in color, and soon the water surface starts to rise from that small area. A water ball rose out of the lake and rushed towards Bennett.

Jimmy didn't wait and shot directly at the water balloon. When the water ball left the water, he had activated his mind's eye vision. Although the water ball looked solid, he could see light spots around it under his mind's eye vision. These were Jimmy's goals.

The two revolvers took turns to fire. He poured all the bullets onto the water balloon as quickly as possible. He let go of the 1875 in his left hand, took out six spare bullets from his pocket and loaded it into the right revolver, and once again pointed at the ball that had shrunk by more than half. The water ball cleared the magazine.

This was the first time Superintendent Porter and the others had seen this kind of water balloon rising from the lake. At this time, they didn't care that the screaming made their ears uncomfortable. They also raised their Glocks and fired at the water balloon, but The effect of their shots was basically useless, and their shooting skills were also affected when they were interfered with, and few of their shots hit the water polo.

As the water ball rushed towards Father Bennett, most of it was cut off by Jimmy, leaving only a ball the size of a human head. Father Bennett frowned and changed the way he held the cross he was holding. Just like the Father Horton whom Jimmy had seen in Dallas, he stabbed at the water balloon as if he were holding a long sword, and then immediately dodged, letting the oncoming water balloon miss.

The water ball did not land on the ground, but rushed over, circled slightly and rushed over again. Jimmy was aware of Father Bennett's melee ability, but it was unclear whether his body had completely recovered after being possessed. While Father Nate was fighting a close-combat slashing battle with a water balloon, Jimmy took all the spare bullets out of his holster, reloaded all the bullets in both revolvers, and waited for the opportunity to shoot.

The water ball was slashed from bottom to top by Father Bennett. It was not cut off directly, but was shot into the air. Following a "boom" sound, the water ball exploded, and water droplets splashed everywhere, covering a large space. Jimmy, Superintendent Porter and three other police officers were also included.

Father Bennett looked at the lake with vigilance again. The water balloon that exploded just now did not affect him. Jimmy saw the water droplets falling down, but he did not see any energy reaction on them, so it didn't matter. Anyway, even if it got a little bit, You can also use holy water to clean it later, it won't be a big problem.

The lake surface returned to calm, and the previous violent fluctuations seemed not to have occurred at all. The only thing that could confirm the battle that had just occurred was that the water droplets on everyone's bodies and a piece of the ground near the lake were soaked by the lake water.

After a while, Father Bennett put away the cross and came to Jimmy with the Bible: "Jimmy, let's go back."

Jimmy: "Done?"

Father Bennett shook his head: "No, it's just that it shouldn't appear for the time being."

Jimmy nodded: "Then let's go back first and discuss what to do here, but we must first solve the problem of Nia and the others being unconscious."

Father Bennett nodded, and they turned around and were about to leave when Superintendent Porter raised his voice: "Who can tell me what the thing was just now? WTF!"

Father Bennett: "Don't be surprised. There is indeed something wrong here. I think part of your legend is indeed right."

Superintendent Porter: "What? Are you sure? What are you going to do next?"

Father Bennett: "Let's go back first. You three also need to go to the church with us. I think you also need to be cleaned."

The three policemen looked at each other, but in the end they did not ask any more questions. They drove back to the hospital. Superintendent Porter came forward and asked the hospital to arrange to send the three people to St. Mary's Church, but they had to wait for Father Bennett first. Make arrangements at the church. In the afternoon, Father Rodney came to Newport with two other priests. He had gone to see Father White before. Out of concern for Jimmy and coveting his children, Father White still made a very generous request for Jimmy. Deni brought someone over to help solve Jimmy's problem, so after arranging for Bennett to come nearby, he also brought two people over.

Father Bennett has already contacted St. Mary's Church. When Father Rodney and the others arrived, Nia and two other police detectives were being transported from the hospital. Sometimes I have to say that the combination of the police and the church is really powerful. The hospital agreed to the request of three comatose patients who had been examined at the hospital.

St. Mary's Church has been temporarily controlled. Tourists and people who came to the church to pray were temporarily asked to clear the place. After that, Nia and the three people lay on a stretcher in front of the altar. Father Rodney was the main one, except for Bennett. In addition to the two priests brought by Father Rodney, the priests from the church also participated and started a collective exorcism ceremony around the three of them.

Jimmy has experienced this kind of exorcism ceremony. Father White was the leader before, and a circle of priests prayed together, triggering the infusion of the power of the Holy Light, which was used to verify Jimmy's identity and ensure that he was not a heretic or possessed by a demon. people, and now, it is to dispel the abnormal energy existing in Nia and the three of them.

Father Rodney is indeed a senior exorcist priest. The effect of the ceremony he presided over was very obvious. The first person to wake up was Nia. She was surprised when she opened her eyes and saw that the environment around her was a church. Turning around and seeing Jimmy sitting on the bench, she called out softly: "Jimmy."

Jimmy immediately raised his head and looked over, immediately stood up and walked to Nia, "Nia, how are you?"

Nia: "I have no strength, what happened?"

Jimmy: "You three passed out yesterday afternoon, and it's been a whole day now. What happened?"

Nia: "Help me up."

Jimmy put his arm around Nia's shoulders and helped her sit up. He could feel that she really didn't have much strength, so she basically relied on Jimmy's strength to sit up.

Nia looked at the people next to her: "How are they?"

Jimmy: "Same as you, still in a coma, but you were the first to wake up. It was all the help of Father Rodney and the others that made it possible. It's them you should be grateful to."

Nia looked at Father Rodney and the others who had already stood up next to them, "Thank you, Father Rodney, thank you all."

Jimmy: "What happened to you? Why did you fall into a coma? Did you notice anything before you fell into coma?"

Nia: "Let me think about it, my head still hurts a little."

Jimmy walked up behind Nia and stretched out his hands to rub her head and temples. Nia waited for a moment and said: "After we got here, we contacted the police station and investigated some hotel check-in records based on the information of three college students. , found the hotel where they were staying.

We got a message from the front desk of the hotel. The three of them learned more about the local legend of a ghost lake before leaving the hotel. So we went to the ghost lake with the cooperation of the police officers, and we found them by the lake. A tent for three people and personal belongings inside.

Because they have been missing for more than two months, many of their tents and the things inside have been damaged. In order not to damage more, we first asked the police to take those equipment back. I and others were at the lake Continue to investigate.

But not long after, we heard some weird noises. After looking around for a while, we suddenly felt a cold feeling, and I had no impression of it after that. "

Jimmy: "Did you find anything?"

Nia: "Well, I remember finding a necklace and a ring not far from the tent of three people. Um, where are my clothes? I wrapped them in a plastic bag and put them in my pocket."

Jimmy: "Your clothes are being kept in the hospital. After you were unconscious, the police who arrived later arranged to go to the hospital for examination. Your clothes and equipment should still be in the hospital. I'll ask Superintendent Porter. Is it possible? It will be lost.”

Nia: "Well, the necklace and ring are just items we found, but judging from the style, they don't belong to the three students. They need to be tested to make sure."

Jimmy blinked, thought for a moment and looked at Superintendent Potter next to him: "Potter, can you arrange for someone to bring Nia's clothes and personal belongings? I need to check them."

Superintendent Porter nodded and called the two policemen who came with him to walk out together.

The three of them were lucky because they were exposed to water droplets from the exploding water balloon. After Father Rodney performed the ceremony for Nia and the others, Father Bennett also performed a simple purification ceremony for the three of them. They washed their exposed hands and faces with diluted holy water.

Originally, Superintendent Porter and the others were not believers, but the facts they encountered today were too exciting. They had changed from being indifferent to the church's exorcism rituals to now completely believing that after completing the rituals and cleaning, they and The local priest also chatted for a while and promised to come to the church on his day off. These were potential believers.

Soon, the other two police detectives also woke up. They were a little later than Nia, and the memories they retained were similar to Nia's, or even slightly worse. After communicating with Father Rodney, Jimmy probably judged that it should be The ring protected Nia, but the ring was not an offensive exorcism weapon and could only protect Nia to a certain extent. In fact, it was still broken through.

Finally, Superintendent Porter returned to the church with several bags, "These are Detective Yang's personal belongings. Please check them."

Nia put down the water glass in her hand and took out the evidence bag from her pocket, "This is the necklace and ring we found."

Jimmy switched his mind vision and took a look. He immediately shouted: "Father Rodney, please come here."

Father Rodney was not with them, but was chatting with the local priests nearby. When he heard Jimmy's words, he frowned and walked over, "Jimmy, what's wrong?"

Jimmy handed the transparent evidence bag containing the necklace and ring to Rodney: "Father Rodney, look at this."

Rodney had just received it and immediately shouted "OMG", then placed the evidence bag on the table next to him.
