Chapter 20: The Black Cross
"That's right, I can't move now, and this brother is not an ordinary person, so you can rest assured, and when you come in, everything will be understood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The voice came again, in a very flat tone, but with a hint of eagerness.
I nodded to Wang Jiani and walked forward.
I don't know if it's because of the death in my body, but now I'm very sensitive to things like death.
As we got closer to the corner, my brow furrowed more and more, because, as the distance shortened, I felt more and more death, and when I looked up, the door of the room hidden in the corner was completely hidden in the thick of the ghostly aura.
And when we walked to the door, a meter away from the door, I could even feel a chill to my bones, as if I had been subjected to a ghost.
"The door is unlocked, come in by yourselves."
Just as I hesitated to go in, the voice was remembered again in the room, this time with obvious eagerness.
This eagerness is so obvious that even a mortal like Wang Jiani can feel the abnormality in it, so Wang Jiani grabbed me and shook her head at me without waiting for me to push the door open.
I smiled and motioned for her to let go, while letting her stay outside the room, there was something to take care of, as for me, I was full of dead air, and this dead air could not affect me for the time being.
I stretched out my right hand and gently pushed open the small door in front of me, and stepped in, and at the same time I entered the door, I only felt a flower in front of me, and when I looked back, I found that the small door behind me did not know when it had been closed, and the room was only lit with three white candles.
"You're here!"
The voice came from the darkness not far away, and there was joy and relief in his tone.
"I'm here, but it's time for you to show up."
Saying that, I looked around and found that this small room was indeed small enough, the whole room was only a dozen square meters, and there was a circle of silver candle holders around it, on which candles were placed, I picked up the matches next to me and lit these candles one by one, at this time, the whole picture of the room was also presented in front of me.
I saw an old man in a priest's robe sitting in the corner of the room with his back to me, who was slowly putting down the Bible in his hand, and the cross in front of him was black!
The black cross, I'm sure, is not the original color of the cross!
Because there are countless dead and ghostly qi around it that are being absorbed by this palm-sized cross!
However, there was too much dead air around him, and the absorption speed of the cross was too small, so except for the small part where the cross was located, the rest of the room was actually occupied by the rich dead air.
"See, I can't leave."
As he spoke, the priest turned slightly, looking at me calmly with kind eyes.
"This brother, I know why you are here, rest assured, I will help you, of course, but also help us, because since the devil woke up three years ago, in order to suppress him, the power of faith in our church for more than sixty years has been almost exhausted, and if you play for a few days, I am afraid that this place will also become the territory of that devil."
As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I was relieved that the pastor looked to be at least ninety years old, and that he should know a lot about it.
"Tell me, I don't know anything about this devil right now."
As I spoke, I sat down beside the old priest and reached out to take the cross in his hand, and suddenly a slight suction came from the cross, at first it was very small, and the small one was almost invisible, but the further back it went, the stronger the suction became, and finally even a small whirlpool appeared on the cross.
All of a sudden, I felt that the coldness of my whole body quietly disappeared, and my whole body seemed to be soaked in warm water, warm, and I had the illusion of returning to my mother's body.
When I came to my senses, I felt that my body was full of strength, and my old body had returned to its youthful state, but the gray hair on my head remained.
"How's it going, brother!"
The old priest took the cross from my hand and asked softly.
"I feel much better, and the dead air in my body is gone, thank you."
I stood up, bowed deeply to the old priest, and sat down again.
"We're running out of time, I'm telling you about this devil, I hope you can help us solve it!"
As he spoke, the old pastor solemnly placed the cross in his hand on the shelf, and then knelt on the ground and began to pray, not very loudly, but I could hear that he was reading the Apostles' Creed.
Seeing the old pastor praying, I also learned to kneel on the ground, not only because I was rejuvenated here, not only because of respect for the old man, but more of a kind of awe.
In the doctrine of Christianity, the Lord Jesus Christ died to save the world, and rose again three days later to ascend into heaven, which is the foundation of Christian doctrine, the death and resurrection, teaching people to do good.
Although I say that I do not believe in Christianity, this kind of reverence must exist, and without reverence, there is lawlessness.
After the old pastor had finished praying, he turned around and told me the details of the devil.
It turned out that this church was built 63 years ago, when this church was built to suppress this devil, and originally built together with a Buddhist hall and a Taoist temple, but it was later demolished for various reasons, leaving only this church.
Originally, everything was fine, but since the large-scale construction of buildings more than ten years ago, everything has slowly changed.
Life is getting better and better, people's awe is getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, there is not even reverence, there are only interests and conspiracies, all of which have become the power of this suppressed devil. As a result, in order to suppress this devil, this remnant church can only consume the power of its own faith.
Until three years ago, the stone monument that had been suppressed by the devil was eradicated and the high-rise building was built, because the Buddhist hall and Taoist temple were eradicated, and the number of 13 in Christianity belongs to the devil, so under various coincidences, the thirteenth floor of the newly built building became this devil's paradise.
Therefore, if the devil wants to regain his freedom, the KTV on the thirteenth floor is its best way out, as for who this devil is, the old priest did not say, but said that this devil is a combination of countless powerful ghosts, not one at all, and it does not exist in human form.
As for the ghost's ability, the old priest didn't know much, but he said the most important one, that is, this devil is very good at controlling people's minds, taking advantage of the weakness of people's hearts and even ghosts, tempting them to do things for themselves.
I see, no wonder!
It turned out to be a collection of countless ghosts, no wonder my heavenly eyes can't see through it!
"Pastor, but one thing, that haunted KTV is on the twelfth floor!"
I thought about it for a moment, and then I whispered the doubts in my heart, after all, this kind of thing is still solved by insiders.
"No, that's not just the twelfth floor, it's the thirteenth floor!"
The old priest suddenly turned around, pulled the rope behind the cross, and suddenly a half-human-sized mirror appeared in front of us.
