"You don't believe in God, but you want to walk with an exorcist?" Louis asked sternly.Realizing that his tone was bad because of his nervousness, he coughed twice.

"I'm sorry. I was taught to be all-inclusive, so even a Jew or a Christian - even though their 'God' isn't quite the same as ours--I'll accept it. But your faith in me Not agreeing with it at all, but wanting to be my companion. With all due respect, this is not only ridiculous, but suspicious."

Louis's blue eyes were piercing, like a hunting hawk.Roland's gentle eyes refused to give in to him. "God's door is open to everyone, that's what makes him so great. I respect God, I just don't want to join any religious organization."

Demons don't stand up in church and talk about God with respect like that, not even that guy.Thinking of this, Louis withdrew his aggressive gaze.He motioned for Roland and himself to go to the porch so that their conversation would not disturb the Holy Spirits.

"To be honest with you, when the church is looking for a partner for an exorcist, the first requirement is 'serious piety, kindness and tolerance', but this is all bullshit. In most cases, they only need to accept the protection and care of the exorcist, and then Be a fucking nitpicker and that's ok! But I'm never going to be someone's free bodyguard and babysitter, you get it?"

No matter what, I can make you back off; God knows, I'm what my colleagues call "the man who can bring the dead back to life".Louis smiled involuntarily.But when he found that Roland was laughing too, he had a bad premonition.

Roland held Louis' hand and said sincerely: "I understand. So, in this matter, the church made a mistake, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. What exorcists need most is a psychologist, because you have psychological problems. problem. And I've learned that and can help you."

"Sir, if you keep talking, what you need most is a surgeon!" Louis finally stopped suppressing his anger. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, his angry voice still echoed in the porch: "Look at God For the sake of it, I really have a good temper! But if you keep pestering me like this, I won't be polite!"

Louis almost walked away, but a voice stopped him.

It was as if someone had scratched the stone surface with a sharp knife, and the sound made was toothache.The blade was not curled; it unexpectedly pierced into the solid stone wall and cut slowly, with a harsh sound that made the whole body uncomfortable.

Louis took a few steps into the church, staring blankly at the wall.White stone chips rustled down from every high wall, and they were vibrating.There seemed to be something breaking through the wall in all directions, and the wall was about to explode.

Some demons are so skilled at deception that they confuse exorcists.This happened to Lewis when he was solving paranormal events for a gallery.He blasted every wall with a powerful flame gun until the demon's defiant laughter and screams of rage could no longer be heard.

The crisis in the gallery was solved by Louis, but the boss had to spend money to repaint the walls because the walls had become charred.

Louis didn't want to do that in this church, but he couldn't see where it was.

Moving his hand to the flamethrower at his waist, Louis took a step back, ready to leap upwards.Before acting, he sighed helplessly.Just in that moment, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed his arm.

"Don't worry, find it first and then act. You are here, and the demons dare not provoke. They are afraid of the exorcist; they are afraid of you." Roland whispered softly in his ear, and the heat of his breath made his ears tremble. itch.

Louis freed his arm without a trace. "Thanks, but I can't see it, so it's me who should be worried." He was trying to calm himself down.Exorcists can see through the disguises of most demons if they are trained enough and remain calm.The exorcist has trouble keeping calm and needs the patience of a partner; unfortunately, Louis has no partner at all.

I can't go on like this, I've got to do it... But if I burn the wall, Douglas will be pissed off... No, God, he'll definitely crucify me...

Louis was at war with heaven and man, and looked eagerly around the walls of the church.Roland's voice sounded behind him: "There is nothing to be anxious about. Perhaps, when you put aside everything—including your strict requirements on yourself and the expectations of others, you will see evil creatures..."

"Nonsense." Louis pouted.However, at this moment, the scene in his vision changed.Something slowly materialized in the air.

"I can see it!" Louis took two steps forward in surprise, gripping the knife tightly.

At first it was the big mouth that was gnawing at the wall. The sharp teeth were blue-black as if poisoned, and the broken stones were embedded in the gaps between the sharp teeth; The black shapes of things also appeared out of thin air little by little.It looked like a mass of asphalt trying to break free from the thick church walls.

Louis wondered how the thing got into the wall, but he couldn't care less about that now.At this moment, even his doubts about Roland were thrown away by him.

Slaying demons is the most important thing.

He sprinted over.

A black arm struggled to protrude from the wall like a bare tree branch.At this moment, the arm was propped against the wall, trying to get its sticky body out as well.

Louis cut off the arm with a knife, and it turned into a ball of black mud and fell, disappearing the moment it touched the church ground.Without delay, Louis quickly thrust his arm into the open mouth, stabbing the knife deep into the thing's throat.

The mouth began to close, probably trying to bite off Louis' hand.But it opened wide again soon, and let out a shrill scream that pierced the eardrums!And the metal lampstand in the church vibrated violently as if in response, humming continuously!

When everything fell silent, Louis' arm was intact and the church walls were restored to their original shape.He shook his aching head. "This is really fucked up." After the matter was over, he finally thought of Roland. "You are calm." In fact, the other party was too calm.Usually, there are only two types of "people" who are not afraid of demons, the exorcist, and the demons themselves.

Seeing Louis walking towards him with a silver knife, Roland calmly explained: "It's just the shaking walls and screams. I'm a novelist, and I know as much about strange theories as you do. What screamed just now, it sees Does it look scary?"

Louis stopped in front of the opponent and put the knife away. "No, it's like a black blob of mud, and it looks kind of stupid."

Roland sighed, with a disappointed expression on his face. "In my imagination, all demons that are invisible to ordinary people should look terrifying. When I conceived a story, their scary appearance would come to my mind. It's a pity that the reality is so disappointing."

"You don't have to be disappointed," Louis said, looking at Roland carefully. "No matter what they look like, these things are very dangerous, such as vampires, werewolves, and possessed evil spirits. My task is to destroy them."

Roland's tone was a little surprised: "You started talking to me about this. So, are you willing to let me travel with you?"

Louis didn't answer directly.He didn't trust Roland, and thought that the other party was not simple.From the current point of view, Roland is an ordinary man, but who knows what will be under this human skin?There are real crises that cannot be seen.

This guy could be dangerous—a realization that made Louis seriously consider going with him.He would rather keep the confusing and dangerous creature by his side than letting it run around.

Louis finally spoke. "I hate dealing with speculators and arms dealers. I'll help them out, but I'm not going to talk properly. You're not going to stop and blame me, are you?"

"I won't. That's your freedom."

"Very well. Also, I'm short of money--very short of money. If we have to spend the night in a hotel, you'll pay for me, won't you?"

"Of course. I have caused you trouble, and of course I will do my best to meet your needs."

Louis smiled. "Okay then. Before you go, you need to know my tools. The exorcist's partner also doubles as an assistant. If you pass me garlic juice when I need holy water, I'll throw you straight into the Mississippi River in."

Whether Roland was human or something else, Louis wasn't ready to live with a human.In order to reassure himself, Louis went to Peter the Stranger before leaving.

In the service of an exorcist, Peter privately creates weapons that are more lethal than the Church has prescribed.Louis had dealt with the other party in his previous life—a certain weapon he used before his death was made by Peter.

Pushing open the door, the smell of garlic and vinegar mixed with other indistinguishable strange smells hits the face.Louis had to hold his breath for a moment, lest he faint from the sickening smell.

"Oh, Louis, it's you! I just debugged a flamethrower with an attack range of ten meters yesterday, do you want to try it?"

Louis shook his head and said disapprovingly: "This is not good. You should know that the church stipulates that the flame spray distance cannot exceed two meters. The gun that can spray five meters of flame last time killed my companion. , he tried to kill a bunch of vampires in a quick way, and the lawn of the whole park was burned. How much money will it cost! I feel so sorry for him."

"Since you dislike it so much, don't pick up this gun." Peter muttered dissatisfied.

Louis looked at the brass flamethrower with a satisfied smile on his face.The barrel of the gun that shone with golden light was shaped thin and long, and there was a fire-breathing mechanism hidden in the butt.This is more to his liking than the gun issued by the church. "I'm not like them. See that spider up there?"

"I know. There's a pot-bellied black spider spinning a web in the corner. I hate that stuff the most. When I'm done with this holy water-spraying cross, I'll have to get rid of it."

"No, I'll help you." After that, Louis raised his hand and pulled the trigger.The slender fire dragon shot out from the muzzle, reaching the junction of the wall and the ceiling.

Peter was startled, and quickly turned around to look over.Black ashes fell, and the spider that bored him but had no time to care had been burned to ashes.

"It's nothing special. The distance from here to that spider web is within shooting range, you..." Peter suddenly stopped talking, and moved the ladder seriously to climb up to check. "The spider was burnt to ashes, but the web wasn't broken at all! What a bloody hell!"

Louis put the gun down and smiled confidently. "I said, I'm different from everyone else."

"So, why did you have such precise marksmanship that you almost burned down a church?"

Louis' smile didn't change. "Because I'm in a good mood now, and very calm."

Every overexcited or outraged exorcist is a super-sabotage freak.This cognition exists like an axiom.

"Okay, let me prepare your things first. Silver toon, silver nitrate bullets... By the way, I have something good, do you want to see it?" Peter suddenly put on a mysterious expression.He took out a small gift box, with careful movements and a solemn expression, as if waiting for a treasure.

Louis also became serious, his body tensed.He knows what it is. "Show me."

A slender silver bullet lay on the flannel inside the box.There are light yellow-green stripes on the bullet, which looks very strange.

"This silver bullet basically incorporates everything that can be used against tangible demons. What's even better is that its core is hot magma, which can burn everything up as long as it explodes, and the dazzling glare will also wipe out all dark creatures. .I swear on my life, this bullet can even kill Satan."

"Really?" Louis murmured.Whether this thing could kill Satan, he didn't know; but he knew that it could kill Satan's close servants.

He fired the shot himself.

"Since it's so useful, I bought it. Who knows what will happen in the future?" Louis looked at the bullet and became more determined.The path he chose is correct, and he will continue to walk on this path!
