Chapter 20: The Son Blessed by the Father

"God is merciful, the sun shines on us from on high, I protect my enemies against the wickedness of the devil, I pray to God to send the demons away, I use the power of the Lord to send Satan and the procession into the world, and I drive the demons that harm the souls into hell!"

Todd held the scriptures in one hand and crossed in the other, placed them on the head of the cursed, and chanted an exorcism prayer aloud from his mouth.

"I thought it was different, it turned out to be the same......" Listening to the prayer, the young priest whispered, but the next second, the strangeness in the room frightened him and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

The brown linen cloth that covered the bed gradually raised a "bulge" in the abdomen of the cursed.

"Heavenly Father is above!What is that?!"

The sheriff's low exclamation drew an angry glare from Huggins on the other side. The Slavic man put his index finger to his lips and made a silent motion.

As the burlap rises higher and higher, the outline of the "bulge" becomes clearer and clearer, and the eye sockets, nose, and mouth gradually stand out, and the shape of a face is already visible.

"Demons!"

The old knight, who had returned to the field, roared and touched his hand to his waist, but nervously found that he did not have the weapon with him.

The sheriff twitched the muscles of his face, his upper and lower teeth shivered, and his head kept shrinking back as he stood next to the candle.

At this moment, two reddish-brown liquids like 'blood' flowed down from the eye sockets of the 'bulging', wetting the sackcloth and contaminating the pure white cross.

"Ah!!h

Unable to withstand the pressure of fear any longer, the sheriff fled backwards.

As if frightened, the bulge instantly rose dozens of centimeters high, floating in the air, and let out a scream like a ghost crying wolf.

The young priest looked at the "evil spirit" in front of him in horror, turned his head angrily to look at the coward who had left everyone and fled, and shouted, "You bastard! You have ruined the ceremony! The devil is going crazy!"

As if to confirm Moore Rupert's words, with a sharp roar, the sackcloth slammed into the ceiling, and with a pop, it slowly fell, but it was blank inside.

The room fell silent, but almost everyone knew that something terrible was going to happen.

There was a loud bang.

The wood above everyone's heads burst open, and blood poured down like a waterfall.

With a heavy face, Todd put down the scriptures in his hand, took out the cross on his chest with one hand, and the holy water bottle at his waist with the other, and cried out loudly: "The Lord has entrusted my redeemed souls to place them in heavenly happiness." I pray here, O God of peace, that Satan may be crushed under our feet, so that he will no longer poison mankind and no longer harm believers!"

However, prayer and holy water did not do anything at all.

The white and immaculate cross oozed "blood", the "demon heads" appeared on the dark walls, the dishes and furniture in the room exploded one by one, and the cries of the "demons" became louder and louder, as if they were about to burst the eardrums and pierce the soul.

Anyone in the room could see the reality of despair.

The exorcism failed......

Huggins and Jerry Jr. came to Todd's side, left and right, fending off the debris and wood chips from the explosion for the monks. The latter even lifted a stone platform weighing hundreds of catties and put it on his shoulder.

Todd continued to read the prayer, glancing at little Jerry with clairvoyance, and was surprised to find that the parasite entrenched in the adrenal glands was spitting fluid regularly.

Others are doing things differently.

The sheriff and the old knight ran to the main entrance of the hut and tried to tear off the cross from the back of the door and escape as quickly as possible, but were blocked by the young clergyman.

Father Rupert opened his arms, grabbed the door frame, looked angrily at the two people in front of him, and shouted: "The devil has come out! Innocent people outside, open the door, do you know what will happen? Do you want to save yourself with other people's lives?!"

The old knight was stunned for a moment, and his face was hesitant, and the sheriff didn't care so much, and threw his fist into the priest's cheek.

Moore Rupert, who had been hit hard, shook his body, but did not flinch in half a step, and regained his position, the blood from the corners of his mouth slowly overflowed, but there was a sense of sacrifice in his eyes.

Todd, in the center of the room, spoke to Huggins, then motioned to the two of them to move the craftsman to the door, and he threw away everything he had and opened his arms to the roof.

"Father, lay my life before the judgment seat of the Most High God, and ask the Lord to show mercy and release your wrath, capture the poisonous dragon and the ancient serpent, and destroy the devil and Satan!"

Bright and blazing flames, under the horrified gaze of the others, ran down the monk's ankles, burned to his waist, and finally to his arms.

"O my God!" said Father Rupert, who had a cross on his chest, tears welled up in his eyes: "The Todd is saving our souls with their lives!"

The boy, who had completely turned into a "burning man", grabbed an invisible figure in the air, hugged it tightly and did not let go, the howl of the "demon" sounded again at this time, and the voice of the monk came from the karmic fire.

"I command you in the name of the highest! Devil! Go back to Hell!"

The wooden hut was soon engulfed in flames, and the suffocating black smoke and heat that scorched the body cavities forced the other six to take the unconscious craftsman and open the door, rushing into the frightened and restless crowd outside.

Jerry let out a cry of grief and tried to rush into the fire again, but Huggins pulled him back.

"Don't be impulsive! Todd just told me he's going to be fine. ”

The man whispered in the ear of the tall young man.

All the villagers in Chigi Village, as well as the crowd of onlookers, spontaneously formed a firefighting team after hearing that Todd had sacrificed his life to exorcise the demons, and the people struggled to extinguish the fire with wooden buckets for well water, tanks for rain, and even damp sheets that had not dried.

Finally, after the fire burned for a full thirty minutes, the fire slowly weakened.

People saw a figure in the white smoke, burned into a mess of ruins.

The first people to discover Todd cried out with trembling lips: "God has appeared!

The monk stood intact in the innermost storeroom, smoky and burning, but there was no sign of scorching in or around the place where he stood.

Pious people came one after another, and everyone was stunned by what they saw. I don't know who started first, but more and more people knelt down in the direction of the monks, and the sound of prayer and praise was endless.

Soon, a sacred title was preached on the lips of every believer.

"The Son who is blessed by the Father. ”
