"Hurry up, hurry up, it's almost eight o'clock, and the ceremony is about to begin!"

"Hey wait for me, Brian!"

"God bless there is room in the lobby!"

Soon, the elevator door opened again, and this time there were more people coming down. They turned a blind eye to Adeline, mother, daughter, and Josh standing at the elevator door, and ran forward in a hurry just like the previous group of people.

Adeline and Josh naturally heard the word "ceremony" whispered in the crowd, and the two became more certain of their conjectures. After looking at each other, they quickened their pace and ran to follow the crowd in front of them.

The corridor is a bit long, probably because it is underground, the surrounding area is very quiet, only the faint sound of tapping footsteps can be heard.Adeline tightened the coat on Lilith, seeing that she didn't seem to be afraid at all, and her two big eyes were looking around.

Josh walked a few steps ahead, as if protecting Adeline's mother and daughter. When the two were about to reach the corner, Josh turned around and reminded Adeline in a low voice, "Be careful, we're almost there!"

Adeline nodded, and she also felt a large crowd of people not far in front of her with her consciousness. She thought, that must be the so-called hall.

Sure enough, as soon as they turned the corner, the two saw two wooden carved doors open, facing a corridor. There were rows of benches neatly lined up on both sides of the corridor, and at the very front was a platform that was much higher than the ground. There are several people standing on the stage.

Josh's footsteps obviously paused, but he immediately accelerated and walked towards the door: "This looks a lot like a church!"

Adeline had never been in a church, although she had walked past it several times; but this church-like hall made her feel very bad at the moment.Not only the hall, but even the two wooden carved doors made her feel a little uncomfortable, like a big beast's mouth, waiting for the food to come automatically.

"There must be something weird in it, be careful later!"

After admonishing Josh softly, Adeline carried Lilith into the hall, followed the footsteps of the group in front, and sat on the bench on the left in order. Unfortunately, the seat on the left happened to be full. Josh, who was behind Adeline, had to sit in the first position on the right side of the corridor, and there was a corridor between them.

After that, several groups of people came in, but as soon as eight o'clock arrived, a staff member in a black robe slowly closed the door.

At the same moment, a middle-aged man also wearing a black robe came up from the high platform in front of him. He was obviously agitated, the smile on his face was trying to maintain a smile, and his tone was a little unstable, but the person sitting below They didn't mind, or they didn't notice what was wrong with him at all, because everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on the corner of the high platform side covered by the curtain, where a slim figure with long hair was projected on the curtain.

"Gentlemen and ladies present here: I am Titus Gals. I believe that friends in the Mutual Aid Association still remember me. I want to say that all of you here today are God's favorites, and you will participate in this event with me. A rare "blessing ceremony"! Yes, here, today, we will forget the bitterness of quitting alcohol and drugs, forget the pain of quitting gambling and sex, and we will witness a miracle together. Please have a "blessing ceremony" below The praying person--the beautiful Ms. Carroll came to the stage, and today, she will bestow 'lucky badges' on the five lucky ones who have successfully quit their addictions and pray for them!"

Adeline and Josh looked at each other clearly after hearing what Titus Gals said on the stage. It turned out that there were so many people here not only from the Alcoholics Anonymous Association, but also from several other mutual aid associations. .

The people around applauded excitedly. They seemed to have heard of Ms. Carroll's name, and they were as excited as the host Gals.

And Ms. Carroll waited for a long time before she was willing to take her steps towards the center of the high platform. Josh felt that he seemed to be influenced by the people around him. He only felt that every footstep of this Ms. Carol They all stepped heavily on his heart, causing his heartbeat to speed up involuntarily.

And Adeline's previous bad feeling suddenly came again, and she was shocked, knowing that this woman named Carol should be the source of this bad feeling.

As a result, when Carol finally stepped out of the curtain and walked towards the center of the high platform, the crowd below all let out a disappointed "Ah". It turned out that the beautiful Ms. Carol was actually wearing an ugly animal mask, although the mask was well made. True, ugly is still ugly!

But when people think about it, they didn't come here early this morning to see beautiful women. If you are ugly, you can be ugly. If you don't want to show your true face, then you don't want to. As long as a miracle can happen, everything else is not important!So the people sitting below became excited again, and the applause returned to its original enthusiasm.

Adeline's heart sank at this moment, thinking that this woman, how dare she... Adeline immediately turned to look at Josh, and at this moment Josh's face was flushed, he thought He said something to Adeline, but they were too far away to speak. He pretended to clap his hands high, his eyes widened on his covered face, and he winked at Adeline desperately; he was afraid that she would not be able to see I understand, and secretly make mouth movements to convey information.

Of course Adeline knew what Josh was getting excited about. She quickly nodded to show that she understood, and told Josh not to be too excited to expose herself. Then both of them turned their heads to look at the stage, paying close attention to Carol, no, yes Keep an eye out for the audacious Werson who speaks his true colors in front of so many people.

Adeline didn't listen carefully to what the female Wesson was talking about on the stage. She just stared at the ugly face of the female Wesson, and kept recalling the contents of Rowler's Grimm Encyclopedia of Biology in her mind. See the records Is there any kind of Weisen in the book that can match this one.

It's a pity, Adeline recalled it from beginning to end, and there is no original form of Werson that is in the shape of the female Werson on the high platform. It seems that the Green ancestors of the Potter family have never encountered this kind of Werson. Sen, this is a bit tricky. Could it be that we are going to violently confront the enemy again this time?

Josh's mind was also running fast. He secretly touched the silver bullet pistol he brought, feeling a little uncertain in his heart, wondering if the bold female Wesson on the stage was afraid of the silver bullet.Perhaps, he should look for an opportunity to sneak out and exchange for the bow and arrow that has been smeared with the secret medicine?A copper handle that emits special sound waves?Legend has it that the holy water was blessed by the cardinal?

After much deliberation, it seems that neither weapon is very reliable. Josh gritted his teeth, and finally decided to use the silver bullet in his arms. At least if the silver bullet is useless, the pistol is still safe. Lethal!

And Weisen, who was called Carol on the stage, finally ended her long speech similar to brainwashing, and signaled the host Gals to invite the five lucky people to the stage.

Gals immediately turned to the backstage and loudly invited: "Please welcome the first lucky lady who was once addicted to the world of alcohol, but has stood up again through our Anonymous Mutual Aid - Miss Plunkett!"

A short lady in a gray woolen coat and a funny SpongeBob SquarePants mask rushed onto the stage, well, maybe not in a hurry but just too excited because she almost fell when she got close to Carol She fell, but fortunately Ms. Carol helped her up.

Then the host Gals invited two successful addicts, a man and a woman, to come on stage. They only introduced their last names, and they both wore masks.

Adeline seemed to have figured out their routine a little bit. She leaned on the bench and gently patted Lilith's back with her right hand to comfort her. It was a little unstable, and it didn't seem like she was afraid of Carol's ugly face, but she seemed a little restless, unwilling to sit or stand.After thinking for a while, Adeline hugged Lilith with her back to the high platform, preventing Lilith from seeing Carol. Lilith's mood immediately improved a lot.

Adeline couldn't help thinking: Does this Carol have anything to do with ghost energy?Or, is there something ghostly about her?Thinking of this, Adeline separated a ray of consciousness and entangled Carol quietly.

At the same time, the host Gals invited the last two lucky people with strange names. Adeline and Josh recognized at a glance that the two must be Rowler and Burke, and they looked at each other again. Shi's eyes clearly showed worry and tension, and Adeline's eyes also had many emotions, but unfortunately, Josh didn't understand.

The five lucky winners all stood on the stage. Except for the last two men who stood still on the stage, the other lucky winners, two women and one man, all shook their hands and feet in varying degrees of excitement.Carol and the host Gals didn't find it strange at all. After signaling the people in the audience to keep quiet, Carol began the so-called "blessing".

The first step is naturally to give the "Lucky Badge". Carol put on white gloves on purpose, and took out five badges from the old wooden jewelry box she carried with her. As seen in the Green Encyclopedia of Biology, it has a hexagonal zigzag shape, and in the middle is a woman wearing a black turban. The woman's entire face is hidden under the black turban, only a pair of glowing eyes are exposed.

From Adeline's point of view, the badge with this pattern makes people feel scary and unknown at first glance, and I don't know what other people think, but they really think it is a "lucky badge".At this moment, besides Josh, there are other people who don't know what to think.

They stretched their necks long, just to see what those "lucky badges" looked like, and Gals, who had just received the badges from Carroll, lived up to expectations and held one of the badges high , showing it to the spectators facing the audience, and the people sitting below couldn't help holding their breath, holding their hands together and worshiping devoutly.

This time, even Josh could see clearly that it was the "Badge of Bad Luck" on the Green Encyclopedia of Biology, exactly the same as the "Badge of Bad Luck" collected by Teacher Mary before her death, which proved to be fake. The black turban in the middle is a little whitish and shiny because it is often played by people.

Josh's heart sank. He knew that Carroll and even the host, Gals, must be inextricably suspected of the deaths of Mary Bell and Pamela Lester in Dunwu Street. .
