American Variety: Scientific Exorcism

It rained heavily.

The lightning flashed across the dark and oppressive sky, which was quite terrifying.

boom! A muffled thunder exploded.

The pouring rain kept hitting a bridge car that was leaving JFK International Airport.

Yorks lay on his back in the back seat and glanced at the rainwater that was constantly flowing through the car window. He didn't feel scary at all, but felt relieved and at ease.

Although New York rains often and is one of the humid cities in the United States, it has not rained so heavily for a long time.

Thinking of something, Yorks turned his head and looked to the side.

The novice nun Irene, wearing a white novice robe, was sitting there with her body very upright.

"Relax," Yorkshire smiled gently.

boom! The muffled thunder started one after another.

Erin's whole body stiffened for a moment, but she still spoke,

"I will, Father."

Looking at Irene's hands grasping the monk's uniform, Yorkist smiled.

"Are you afraid of thunder?"

Eileen answered truthfully, "A little, but Father, please believe that I will adapt to the climate here as soon as possible and it will not affect your work."

Hearing this straight answer, Yorks could only reply as he was used to being alone.

"All right."

At this moment, he felt that the mobile phone he had kept in his arms suddenly vibrated.

"This time?"

Yorkes glanced at the center console window above the front seat.

[22:21]

Phone calls after ten o'clock in the evening are usually about something.

With this idea in mind, Yorkes took out his vibrating phone and looked at the screen.

Unexpectedly, the caller came from an unfamiliar number.

But it was this unfamiliar number that reminded Yorkist of Hailey's girlfriend before he went on a business trip.

It seems to be called Bridget?

It was about a random task. Yorks did not reject this strange call. Under Erin's gaze, he clicked on the connected icon.

Before he could speak, a cry sounded on the phone, and a small voice came out first.

"Father Yorks! I am Bridget, Hailey's girlfriend. There is something dirty in my house! Can you come over?

Please save us! please! "

Hearing this series of words, Yorks was not surprised at all. He just squinted his eyes out of habit and analyzed them subconsciously.

The voice was mixed with exhalation and hoarse, which made him easily think of where Bridget was nesting, hiding from something, maybe it was the devil he had judged before.

Thinking of this, Yorks said calmly without asking any questions.

"address!"

The moment these words were spoken, Bridget seemed very surprised at the other end. Coincidentally, the location she mentioned was the area where JFK International Airport is located, which is the Queen's District, also known as the Queen's District.

“Reed Apartments Building, Tenth Avenue, Woodside, Queens…”

However, just as the address came out on the phone, there was another sound of footsteps, along with the sound of something scraping against the floor.

"Hey! My babies, where are you?"

"..."

With a bang, the phone was hung up.

Yorks looked at the phone screen with an expressionless face, thinking about the last sentence, the tone of which sounded like a devil's teasing, extremely smooth.

So how far has this possession progressed? Yorks looked at the driver arranged by the church in the front row.

"Go to Woodside Tenth Avenue..."

According to his character, he must prepare enough exorcism tools before doing anything. Unfortunately, in this situation, he doesn't have much time to prepare.

The driver sitting in the driver's seat nodded immediately and changed the direction of the steering wheel.

"Okay, Father Yorks."

Yorks lowered his head and continued to look at the phone screen, swiping a few times to click on the contact.

"Father, what happened?" Erin asked.

"A supernatural incident involving a demon."

Yorks smiled indifferently and pointed at Hannah, a hacker master whom he called an intelligence dealer.

At this point, this guy probably wasn't asleep yet.

He lacks too much information, and the few words Bridget said simply cannot meet the requirements to trigger random tasks.

Of course, just going to Bridget's apartment building will probably trigger random missions, but it doesn't hurt to know about it in advance.

At least as long as a random mission is triggered, the mission rewards can let him know the difficulty and make some preparations, and the requirements of the mission can also let him know what he will face.

After a while, the phone was connected and Hannah's voice came out.

"Yo yo yo! Father York, are you alive?"

Ignoring the meaning of this sentence, Yorks said calmly.

"Help me get to the bottom of the Reed Apartments complex on Tenth Avenue in Woodside, Queens."

After saying that, Yorks hung up the phone.

beep!

A certain bathroom.

"It seems urgent, Reed Apartment Building..."

Hannah, who was lying in the bathtub, raised her eyebrows slightly, put her mobile phone on it, stood up from the pile of bubbles with both hands, and walked out naked, with a burst of spring.

boom!

The muffled thunder continued to explode.

While waiting for the information, Yorks looked at the front row.

"How much longer?"

The driver looked calm. He knew what it meant and answered.

"Ten minutes to go, Father York."

"Um."

Yorks responded expressionlessly. This time was a bit long, but it allowed him to make some preparations.

Tens of seconds later.

Hannah, who had already pulled the quilt to cover her graceful figure, looked at the information found on the notebook and clicked the enter key.

"send!"

As she muttered to herself, a window showing successful transmission appeared on the laptop screen.

at the same time.

Yorkes felt that his phone was vibrating, so he picked it up, looked at the icon that appeared on the screen, clicked on the encrypted email sent by Hannah, entered the password, and started checking it.

Surprisingly, the history of this apartment building seems to be somewhat complicated.

According to the information sent by Hannah, the Reed Apartment Building is a very old building. It was built on the site of a bank in the early 20th century...

And now this Reed apartment building has reached its end of life and is on the verge of demolition...

There was nothing in this information, but after flipping through it, Yorks stared at a historical photo on top of the information and stopped scrolling.

There are two protagonists in the photo, one is a priest wearing divine robes, and the other is a capitalist wearing a smart suit.

In the background of these two people, the sign above is clearly visible.

"Reed Bank..."

Yorks narrowed his eyes and recited it silently in his mind, and then the task reminder rang in his ears, making the corners of his mouth curl up.

[Trigger random tasks]

[Exorcism from the entire Reed Apartment Building]

[Task reward: +27 attribute points]

[Accept/Reject]

[…]

"The difficulty level is 27 points, accept the task."

Yorks stared at the virtual window that had been transformed into the acceptance state, closed the email on the phone screen, and completed the purpose of triggering the random task. There was no need to look at the rest.

[Accept successfully]
