And just now, her spirit reminded her that this use would definitely succeed.

I guess it's not luck. Vayne thought unconsciously, it is estimated that his own potion has digested some, and then the level of divination has improved.

And at this moment, Jeffrey glanced at Chris beside him, and he didn't know why, he always felt that this matter had something to do with this "Chris".

However, this matter was agreed upon by him and Chris, and it was also the most important secret of Chris, and Jeffrey naturally would not mention it in front of everyone.

After placing the scarecrow doll in his hand into a metal box, Jeffrey also placed a "purification charm" to suppress the evil forces.

Then, after James sealed the wall of spirituality in all directions, he said in a deep voice:

"Okay, that's half done, and now it's time for the last three things. ”

"Boss, you mean the residents and the scarecrows?" Elton shouted.

"Yes, but there's also the Pastor Arleigh. James picked up Scott's Shield from the ground, placed it in his backpack along with the metal box, and replied.

By this time, Jeffrey had already used the "Awakening Charm" on Paul, Bert, and Bonnie one after another.

After checking that the bodies of the three were normal, everyone walked up to the group of residents together.

It seems that because the strange power of the scarecrow doll has been temporarily sealed, the inhabitants have returned to normal.

Bert's Binding Array ritual magic had lost its effect, so they all fell unconscious and fell to the ground.

The residents who had been shot by Jeffrey's bullet also began to bleed from their lower limbs, and seemed to have returned to their normal bodies.

Fortunately, they had some guesses before, and they didn't use their powerful extraordinary abilities to harm them.

After Bonnie took out the medicine from her backpack and cleaned and bandaged the wounded, seeing that they had only fallen into a coma, it was estimated that they would wake up tomorrow, and the Extraordinary Team would no longer stay here, but went directly to the town.

Sure enough, just as they had guessed before, the scarecrows who had been stunned or frozen had become normal humans at this time, and they passed out in three places.

Apparently because of the unique spirituality of the Extraordinary, two of the young men among those unconscious quickly came to their senses.

After seeing James' extraordinary squad, and after a brief conversation, it quickly became clear what was going on.

"Thank you very much. One of the young men said, "My name is Cowper Wallen, and he's Samson Rice, and I came here last week to investigate the disappearance, but I didn't expect to be calculated." ”

James looked at the two "punishers", nodded and smiled:

"I've seen you before at 'Golden Tulip', you're from Field Percy. ”

"Yes, we're in the third 'Punisher' squad. Cowper replied.

Federenburg has a total of five "Punisher" squads, named in order of strength, and as for James, they have always been called the fifth squad.

"Well, you follow Wayne and the others back to the inn first, and after we finish the last business, we will go back to Federenburg together tomorrow. ”

"No problem, Captain James. The two "punishers" of the third squad gladly accepted the order.

There is a clear rule in the church that when you go out on a mission, if your captain is not there, you will obey the orders of the other captains, not to mention that this time it was James who saved them.

As for why their captain didn't lead the team to the rescue, it was because the number of the Third Extraordinary Squad was already insufficient, and the combat effectiveness had definitely declined.

Therefore, the team did not agree, but handed over the task to James to ensure the smooth completion of the mission.

As he spoke, James looked at his team members and commanded:

"Bert and Chris and I went to the church here to find Reverend Arleigh, Jeffrey and Elton watched over the unconscious residents and travelers, respectively, and the others went back to the inn to rest. ”

Because the other party was just an ordinary priest who was not even an extraordinary, James did not plan to bring all the team members with him, after all, they were all tired.

He can do it on his own, as for why he brought Bert and Chris, newcomers, it's better to have more experience.

And with Bert's ability to listen, the matter could have ended a little faster.

After handing over two of the Soul Rings to Jeffrey and Elton, Jeffrey immediately headed to the field where Elton stayed and Wayne took the newly awake Cowper and Samson to the inn.

In fact, among these extraordinary beings, these two should be the most spiritual, but after all, they are other squads, and it is not easy for James to assign them to keep vigil at will.

I had to work hard again on my team to guard these unconscious townspeople and travelers.

The reason is to prevent any further problems, and this is also the careful experience of James in carrying out his tasks for many years.

James took Chris and Bert and walked to the only church in Solari for 10 minutes.

A chapel affiliated with the Church of the God of Machines and Intelligence.

The churches in the towns and villages around the city of Federenburg are affiliated with the Constant Sun Church and some are affiliated with the Church of the Gods of Machines and Intelligence, which have been divided up hundreds of years ago.

As he walked down the road, the blue in Chris's eyes had disappeared.

He only had a vague impression of what had just happened, knowing that the scarecrow doll behind the scenes had been captured, and that the residents and travelers had returned to normal.

"Boss, do you think there's something wrong with Pastor Arleigh?" asked Chris as he looked at James in front of him, confused.

"Yes. James's expression seemed to be a little different from his usual expression, and instead of a sincere smile, he became a little calm, so that he looked a little serious.

James reached out and patted Chris's head, and said in a somewhat heavy tone:

"If you have been a 'disciplinarian' for ten years, and you have not died in the line of duty, you may understand some truth. ”

"What's the truth?" Bert, who had been silent, turned his head to look at James, and his expression was quite serious.

"Just don't take anyone's word for it, don't decide to believe what you see. I didn't fully believe the pastor this morning, not because I saw something wrong with him, but because I was used to it. ”

As he spoke, James gradually regained his smile, reached out and pinched Bert's serious immature face, and said with a smile:

"Didn't you just now be controlled by that scarecrow? I don't mean to blame you, but I want to tell you that even if you were once your closest comrades, sometimes their actions and words are not entirely credible. ”

"Is it because you will be tempted and controlled by some evil being?" Chris asked with some concern, remembering what Mr. Oliver had taught before.

"Not exactly. James let go of his hand and looked ahead.

"The human mind is very complex, and sometimes they may be willingly controlled by some unknown being in order to achieve some impossible wish. ”

James still has a sentence that has not been spoken, when people are in their most desperate, they either burst out with great power or completely degenerate and become captives of strange beings.

The three of them walked into a somewhat dilapidated chapel, and in the dim flickering light of a few candles, they saw the old priest sitting at the front of the church.

"You're here. As if hearing footsteps behind him, Reverend Ali opened his somewhat cloudy eyes and said, "You can sit at will." ”

"You already knew we were coming?" James didn't sit down, but walked directly in front of Arley, looking at the old man with a sharp gaze.

"Hehe, you don't already know that I'm making trouble behind this matter?" the old man quietly looked at the three people in front of him and asked rhetorically.

James didn't seem surprised at all when he heard this, and Chris, who was behind him, made waves in his heart.

What? The person behind this is this Pastor Arleigh?

James put away his sharp eyes, regained his composure, and said softly:

"I was a little suspicious when you suddenly appeared at the National Police Agency this morning, but I wasn't sure until tonight's actions were exposed......"

Just tonight, when the Extraordinary Squad went to the field to capture the last scarecrow, they were ambushed by the townspeople.

"He is worthy of being the captain of the 'Punisher'. Arley's expression was a little unclear in the dim candlelight, "How can you be sure that I am behind it, and what am I doing it for?"

James didn't answer his question, but looked at Bert behind him.

I don't know when, Bert has already taken out the "five senses magnifying glass", because there is no black gas barrier of the scarecrow doll now, so Bert has successfully used his ability to listen to people's hearts.

I saw Bert walk up to Pastor Arleigh with a somewhat complicated and pitying expression, and said faintly:

"Because your granddaughter, the voice in your heart tells me that she was born half a Sequence 9 and possesses some magical abilities. But in the plague two years ago, at the age of 9, she fell ill and died, and you survived.

"You're in pain, and you start praying to the gods of machines and intelligence, but the gods don't respond, so you open a forbidden book on dark magic in the church.

"Based on the above, you took advantage of the spread of the epidemic and decided with several doctors to incinerate the bodies of the deceased.

Then you encouraged the other inhabitants to scatter the ashes of the dead in the field. In this way, the ritual of dark magic is half done.

"Then you secretly sew the scarecrow doll that your granddaughter loved on the head of one of the scarecrows, so that the other half of the magic ritual is complete. ”
