[Comprehensive English and American] You have to pay rent even if you are a ghost

Peter Graham sat on the chair in a trance, even though the lunch break bell rang and the students around him began to pack their things and prepare to leave, he still sat there motionless.

His eyes were a little blank, and he didn't know which corner he was looking at in front of him.

During this time, too many things happened.

First came the death of the grandmother.

Peter Graham was not close to his grandmother, who was 78 when she died of illness, although she had always lived in his home.On the one hand, his father did not want him to get close to his grandmother, and on the other hand, he subconsciously avoided his grandmother, because he always felt that his grandmother looked at him like a piglet waiting to be slaughtered. Creepy.

Also, the closeness of his grandmother to his sister, Charlie Graham, made him feel a little awkward.

This is actually not surprising. When he was a child, he saw it with his own eyes. His grandmother didn't even allow his mother to breastfeed Charlie, because she wanted to feed Charlie herself.

The impact of such a scene on the young Peter can be imagined.

Although it was a bit bad, when he learned of his grandmother's death, he was actually relieved.

What really struck Peter Graham fatally was the death of his sister Charlie.

Charlie was not a pretty girl, and they hadn't been very close growing up.But they are brothers and sisters whose blood is thicker than water, even if they are not close, but he does love her.

But because of his fault, Charlie died.

A month ago, Peter Graham was invited by his friends to a party of his peers.His mother asked him to take Charlie with him on the grounds that she would take her to relax and make friends.

Peter Graham said yes.

There is no need for him to refuse his mother's request, although he will go to that party as long as it is for the girl who makes him fall in love. For this reason, he even brought some recreational marijuana, wanting to share it with the girl to win her favor .

He sent Charlie off for chocolate cake.

What he never expected was that there were nuts in the chocolate cake, and Charlie was allergic to nuts.

Peter Graham drove in the direction of the hospital in a panic.

It's just that Charlie is in too much pain.

Peter Graham will never forget her moaning in pain in this life, nor can she forget that when she rolled down the car window and stuck her head out of the car window trying to get fresh air, Peter was shocked by the deer that suddenly appeared in front of the road. And the tragedy caused when the steering wheel was turned sharply.

The car passed the utility pole dangerously and dangerously.

Charlie's protruding head hit the electric pole at high speed, with a "bang", his world seemed to fall apart with this sound.

Next, Peter Graham had no idea what he was doing.

He didn't seem to notice the tragedy that happened to Charlie, and drove the car home in a daze.He walked slowly back to his bedroom in the dark, lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling with eyes wide open.

From night to dawn.

Mother's screams broke the silence of dawn.

They found blood in the car and the headless body.

Mother nearly collapsed in the pain of losing Charlie.

It was he who killed Charlie.

Although this incident was later defined as an accident, he knew that his mother hated him.

In her eyes, he is the murderer.

Charlie's death was an almost irreconcilable conflict between them. She couldn't help repelling him and hating him.

Did she really love him?

That night six years ago, he tried not to think about it, but his mother was standing by his bed, and he and Charlie, who was sleeping with him at the time, were doused with diluted paint solution by their mother, and their mother was standing there. He'll never forget the scene next to the bed, with a burning match in his hand.

He screamed in terror.

Although his mother immediately blew out the match, hugged him and apologized continuously, Peter Graham could never forget the fear at that time.

Their mother, wanted to burn them.

Whether it was because of sleepwalking or not, that scene almost became a given.

Just yesterday, his mother woke him up in the middle of the night like crazy.

She said she was able to get Charlie back.

At her insistence, he and his father cooperated with her in holding the ghostly summoning ceremony.Immediately afterwards, the moving cup, the sudden ignited flame and the hysterical appearance of his mother frightened him to collapse and cry.

His father prevented his mother from going mad, but the fear left a seed in his heart, so that he couldn't get up all day today, always feeling that there was something peeping at him from the shadows.

For a moment just now, he felt a sense of suffocation.

Fortunately, only for a moment.

Peter Graham slumped on a chair, his T-shirt was drenched in cold sweat under his thick leather jacket.

Those who have not experienced the fear of tarsal maggots cannot understand it.

Charlie, he thought, was back.

Charlie resented him and wanted revenge on him.

At the thought of this possibility, Peter Graham almost collapsed.

"Tuk Tuk."

The sudden sound startled Peter Graham, and he almost jumped up.He looked at the person who knocked on his desk in shock, with a strange but handsome face, seemed to be a new transfer student?

He swallowed, and said hoarsely, "You..."

"I think you need help." Raffaele said bluntly, and Tate stood aside and looked at Peter Graham silently, his black eyes silently watching the black hand that grabbed the back of his neck.

As a non-human being, Tate could also see the abnormality in Peter Graham, and the black hand gave him the urge to burn it with fire.

"I'm not..." Peter Graham just wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the suffocation and the chilly feeling that gradually climbed up his back in class, his body trembled, but he still insisted : "I don't need marijuana."

At the beginning, he didn't look at Charlie and encouraged her to eat chocolate cake just to smoke marijuana with the girl he liked, which indirectly led to the tragedy.

If he was by Charlie's side, even if he helped her take a bite of the cake, it wouldn't make her eat nuts by mistake.

He will never touch marijuana again, even if smoking marijuana can give him a short-term relief.

Peter Graham's answer made Raffaele speechless for a moment, and then he said helplessly: "There is no marijuana, there are demons eyeing you, I think, you have feelings."

Peter Graham's face twisted instantly.

……

Although he didn't want to believe what Raffaele said, what happened last night and the chill he felt faintly this morning made him doubtful about such a statement.

In the campus cafeteria, Raffaele sat with Tate, facing Peter Graham, who was trembling and bowing his head because his words became more and more nervous.

Tate stared at Peter Graham for a while, then handed the sandwich he bought to Peter.

Raffaele tapped the table with his fingers.

Peter Graham raised his head slowly, his eyes bloodshot.

"I need to confirm some things first." Raphael raised his chin slightly and said directly, "Are you a devil worshiper?"

He had to make sure first whether the devil on this kid was caused by his own death or if he was targeted by innocent people by bad luck.

The difference between the two determines the method used by Raffaele to expel the demons. He can be gentle with the latter, but the former...he has always disliked people who commit suicide.

Peter Graham didn't answer.

Because his eyes are widening, and the corners of his eyes seem to be torn because of his almost extreme staring movements.

He looked straight behind Raffaele and Tate.

There was a couple having dinner, but in Peter Graham's eyes, he saw a half-naked old woman in a black veil.The black veil barely covered her important parts, and the bare-exposed skin was wrinkled and attached to the body like dry bark.

She looked so old, with gray hair and wrinkled face, but the blue eyes of the old woman were frighteningly bright, and they were fixed on Peter Graham.

Peter Graham stared at her blankly. For a moment, the face of the old woman in front of him overlapped with his long-dead grandmother, but a moment later, he saw Charlie again.

Charlie, his sister.

The old woman's blue and white eyeballs moved, and she slowly looked at Peter Graham.She seemed to be smiling, and she grinned slowly.

At first it was only a shallow arc, but this arc continued to deepen and deepen, and the corner of the mouth was slowly picked up, torn, higher than the root of the ear, and extended to the corner of the eye.

Blood trickled down the torn wound, slid over the old woman's wrinkled face, and dripped onto her half-naked body.

The old woman's already old face suddenly became distorted and terrifying.

Peter Graham was shaking like chaff, he wanted to look away, but his gaze seemed to be glued to the old woman's face, and he couldn't even move his eyeballs.

His breathing became rapid.

Just then, the old woman spoke.

Opening his mouth, he scolded unceremoniously, the hoarse voice seemed to come from hell, full of darkness and cruelty.

[I expel you! 】

Peter Graham shook violently. At that moment, he seemed to be suffocated, unable to breathe.

However, in the next second, his body seemed to be out of control, and the eyes that were glued to the old woman in black veil dropped, and they met Rafael's eyes straight.

Raffaele has a pair of sky blue eyes, as blue and lofty as the sky.Few people would not be fascinated by such a pair of beautiful eyes, especially his appearance seemed to be favored by the creator.

Although Peter Graham met Raffaele's eyes, his pupils had already begun to dilate. He seemed to be looking at Raffaele, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything.

"Tsk." Rafael let out a light snort, and white flames ignited around the sky blue pupils.

In the cafeteria of Mayfield High School, there was no one else except the students who were eating, but the old woman in black veil was not a fantasy of Peter Graham, because Raffaele saw that in his eyes. The reflection of the old woman in black veil.

Using Peter Graham's eyes as the medium, Raffaele looked straight at the old woman in black gauze, his lips moved, and the word "roll" almost breathed out.

The sound of "rolling" was so low that it was impossible to hear anything at a distance of more than two meters, but to Peter Graham, the sound of "rolling" was like shouting, directly breaking the glue The air around him froze.

The old woman in black gauze, who was still unfathomable just now, suddenly covered her face. She screamed. The old woman who was approaching Peter Graham seemed to be knocked away by something. He was pushed a hundred meters away in an instant, and disappeared in Peter's eyes in a blink of an eye.

"Huh...huh..."

Peter Graham, who had been choking his breath just now, began to gasp for breath. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his fingers on the dining table were shaking non-stop.

If we say that, including the scene just now this morning, Peter Graham could half-believe that he was hallucinating, maybe he was sick, but just now Raffaele Harmon's "Get out" directly made that weird The escape of the old woman in black yarn proved that he was not crazy.

In the shadows, there were real monsters staring at him.

Raffaele was thoughtful, the old woman just now was a living soul.

A certain ritual linked her to Peter Graham, allowing her to appear in front of him across the boundary of space.And looking at the state of Peter Graham just now, his soul seemed to be knocked out of his body for a moment.

Her goal is to help that black hand occupy Peter Graham's body?

Raffaele's eyes fell on the black hand wrapped around Peter Graham's neck.

This skinny black hand has a smell of rotting flesh and moldy pages. It smells very bad. Raffaele almost instinctively determined the relationship between this withered hand and the hell demon, but he was not sure. What a demon.

He has fought against evil wizards a lot, and he has fought against their demon masters indirectly. Basically, every demon has a different smell, and the smell is certain, but each smell is so unique that it cannot be confused.

The smell of the devil couldn't be more vivid.

The only thing Raphael was sure of was that the demon master behind these people was not a simple thing, and was stronger than any demon that Raphael had expelled.

However, this is exactly what Raffaele wants.

Bringing such a big demon who tried to use the human body as a medium to enter the human world will bring much more merit than dealing with one or two small demons and evil spirits.Raffaele is now the breadwinner, and he has to help Tate collect enough merit to eliminate the resentment of those souls and free Tate.

So this time, whether Peter Graham committed suicide or not, he would not allow the demon to occupy his body.

Just as Rafael was contemplating, there was a "bang" from the opposite side, but Peter Graham stood up abruptly and leaned eagerly to look at Rafael, obviously trying to catch Rafael. Eli's hand.But Tate had quick eyes and quick hands, and without hesitation, he took the iced canned Coke he had just bought and stuffed it into Peter Graham's hand, which prevented him from touching Raffaele.

Tate glared at Peter Graham, and said stiffly: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't move!"

Although with Peter Graham's skills, it may not be possible to meet Raphael when he is distracted, but the defense shown by Tate at this time and the possessiveness under the cold words made Rafael very happy. Useful.

Raffaele turned his head and smiled at Tate, and stretched out his hand to hold Tate's finger.

Tate didn't look at Raffaele, and still stared at Peter Graham coldly, but carefully bent his fingers, and returned to hold Raffaele's hand.

Peter Graham got pissed off by Tate, but he didn't care about such little things.He grabbed the coke can in his hand so hard that his fingers deformed the iced coke can.He was sweating and shivering as if he had just been fished out of ice water.His lips were trembling, and he looked at Raphael as if he was looking at a last straw, his voice was filled with tears, and he choked up: "Help me, please, help me ..."

He was going to be terrified by these evil forces.

Fortunately, before starting the conversation with Peter Graham, Raffaele used an Ignoring Charm. Otherwise, with Peter Graham's voice, others might think that he has done something to Peter.

Raffaele waved his fingers, and Peter Graham involuntarily plopped back into his chair.

"Tell me first..."

Raffaele originally wanted Peter Graham to explain it first, but it didn't work out. Before Raffaele finished speaking, Peter Graham began to talk about his grandmother's death. He explained clearly and clearly the weird things surrounding him in detail, and spoke quickly.

Raffaele: "..."

Well, the client's cooperation can be regarded as saving some trouble.

***

In school, when Peter Graham was nervously confiding to Raffaele Harmon about all the weird things during this time, in a wooden villa in the woods of Los Angeles, lying at work Anne Graham, who was taking a nap in front of the stage, woke up from a nightmare.

"Ahhhhh-!!"

She hugged her head vigorously, and an unusually shrill scream filled the studio.

She broke down and wept bitterly.

"Peter...Steve...Charlie..."

Everything in the nightmare tormented her crazily, making her almost unable to distinguish reality from fantasy.

Anne Graham is a well-known local interior installation artist in Los Angeles, her husband is a well-known psychiatrist, and she has a pair of children.In the eyes of acquaintances, this was once a happy family until two months ago, Anne Graham's mother, Alan Turber Leigh, died of illness.

Anne Graham was not saddened by her mother's death, which made her feel guilty, but expressions can be faked, but emotions can't be adulterated.

She really didn't feel sorry for her mother's death.

She pitied her mother—the father who starved himself to death of depression when Annie was a baby, the brother who committed suicide in his mother's bedroom when he was 16 because of schizophrenia—and her brother died resentful The mother, also said that the mother put other people's souls in his body.

No one believed his story, and neither did Anne.

She knew that her brother was ill, very ill.

After she met the luckiest person in her life, Steve Graham, fell in love with him and married him, they brought their widowed mother to live together.

Later, she became pregnant with a boy.

It would have been a happy event, but Anne Graham didn't want the baby, she didn't want a boy, for reasons she didn't understand.But her mother looked forward to the boy's birth, even desperately.

She wanted to get rid of the boy, and she told her mother about it, but her mother strongly opposed it.

For a moment, Anne Graham felt, the mother was furious at what she might have done to harm the child.If it wasn't for the fact that she was pregnant, she would even want to beat her.

Although she didn't, she patiently comforted Anne, telling her to keep the boy and moving out of Steve Graham.

This child is her and Steve's child, does she really have the heart to hurt him?

Anne Graham was silent, but her silence did not mean she gave up killing the boy.

She couldn't tell if she wasn't ready to be a mother or if she just didn't want a boy.

She didn't give up on aborting the child, she couldn't go to the hospital for an abortion, so she tried to find a way to abort herself.

The more the doctor forbids her to do something, the more she will specialize in it.

Looking back on that period of time, Anne Graham felt that she was simply crazy.

But that child, that is, the current Peter, has always been well conceived in her womb, and all the means of harm have failed to prevent Peter from being born safely.

Hugging the child with her own hands, Annie burst into tears, feeling both regret and joy in her heart.

I regretted that I tried to hurt this child, but fortunately he survived well.

Her mother has never concealed her covetousness for Peter. She wanted to raise Peter herself, but was stopped by Steve.As a senior psychiatrist, he vaguely noticed the abnormality of Ellen Taber Lee, and he did not allow her to get close to his son.

Three years later, Annie became pregnant again.

This time, she did not reject childbearing like the first time.After giving birth to Charlie, because her husband cut off the communication between her mother and Peter, out of guilt, she gave Charlie to her mother to raise.

Her insistence made Steve helpless, so he nodded in agreement.

But this incident became the one thing Anne Graham regretted most in her life.

She shouldn't have left Charlie in the care of her mother, who was a religious lunatic!

Anne Graham's face contorted.

It was only when everything was irreparable that she realized what the phrase "our sacrifice is worthless compared to the reward" in the note left by her mother meant.

It's not worth mentioning to go!

Anne Graham gritted her teeth hard, her cheeks were tensed, and her gums were aching.

Her mother, no, Ellen Turber Leigh was crazy, really crazy!She and that damned organization sacrificed her beloved daughter in order to be able to summon the demon god Paimon, and regarded Peter as a vessel for Paimon.

The author has something to say:

#818 The protagonist who is hot and eager to try to brush the demon boss#

Raffaele: The stronger the demon, the better. If you kill such a demon, you won’t be hungry for a year~

Voice of the Mystery: Are you not afraid of overturning?

Raffaele: Overturned?What a joke.Can't beat the whole hell, can't beat a demon!

After a long time——

Raffaele: Sorry, I was too humble before.As long as father, son and brothers join the battle, it is not a dream to overturn hell o(*￣︶￣*)o

***

Go crazy, I really don’t know how to choose the chapter name, my head hurts_(:з」∠)_

Hereditary Doom~hhh I guess some friends have watched this movie o(*￣︶￣*)o How to say it, the Internet said it was scary or something, but I don’t think it’s that scary, the religious atmosphere is very strong, and it’s quite interesting.

The Graham family was really unlucky. It was unlucky for the whole family to meet such a grandmother.

Now, Peter grasped the straw, his mother Annie was reborn and got the memory of the future.

Look at my 40-meter sword throwing a grenade, thank you dear~
