Chapter 10: Exorcism is a Failure
Three days had passed since Grindelwald returned, but there was no sign of awakening, and the cheerful and harmonious laughter of the orphanage was no longer heard, and everyone's faces were full of worry, even Grandma Yuta's face was always sad.
These days, Grandma Yuta spends most of her time in her room and refuses to come out, and even taking care of Grindelwald who is in a coma is alternating between the children in the hospital.
And these days, the one who took care of Grindelwald the longest was Yvette, who gently wiped Grindelwald's lips with a spoon dipped in water to prevent him from drying out due to lack of water.
Grindelwald did not become thinner and thinner like other unconscious people, but his face was red and full of muscles, and his body was constantly rising, and he had already risen more than ten centimeters in just ten days.
Yvette stroked Grindelwald's cheek and said softly, "You're going to be fine, right?" ”
In the past three days, Yvette has asked this question dozens of times, but there has been no response.
"You haven't opened the birthday present yet..."
At this moment, a knock came from outside the basement door.
"Yvette, Father Grister from the church is here, can you open the door and enter?" Roy's voice came from outside the door, and it sounded a little anxious and anxious.
Yvette quickly checked that there were no magic items in the basement before trotting to open the door.
On the day Grindelwald was brought back by Grandma Juta, Grandma Jutta had already ordered everyone to hide all of Grindelwald's belongings..... And now it has been confirmed that Grandma Yuta's fears are correct.
Yvette opened the door through a small gap, leaned out and asked softly, "Father, why are you here?" ”
I saw a white-haired old man in a black robe standing outside the door with a heavy face, wearing a dark purple tie, and holding an old Bible with a little blood stains in his hand.
"I just heard that there is a child who is unconscious," said the priest, "and came to pray for him. As he spoke, he made a cross prayer gesture with his hand.
Yvette could feel something splash in her face from the priest's fingertips, a gesture repeated to almost every child from the time the priest entered the orphanage.....
Yvette still blocked the entrance to the basement with her body, and her tone was full of wariness, "But Father Glister, we don't seem to have told anyone about Grindelwald's fainting, right?" ”
"Everything is God's guidance, and I have come to guide the lost lamb back into God's arms." The priest's expression was extremely religious, and his eyes were full of faith in God.
"But..."
Roy, who was standing behind the priest, interrupted Yvette with a cough and said in a deep voice, "Yvette, let the priest in.... Grandma Juta has instructed you...."
"Okay...."Yvette puffed out her cheeks and reluctantly gave way to the basement passage.
After entering the basement, the priest took out a transparent kettle containing holy water from his jacket pocket and said in a cold voice, "The Lord will bless you, but it is best not to be disturbed by outsiders during the prayer ceremony, so please wait outside the door first." ”
"You!" Yvette was halfway through her sentence when Roy covered her mouth and forcibly dragged her out of the basement.
The priest took a deep breath and smeared the holy water on his fingertips, and this time the priest's prayer was even more powerful than before, and the splash of holy water split in the air, drenching Grindelwald's whole body like raindrops.
Seeing that there was no reaction, the priest did not let go of his heart, but opened the Bible with a black face, and a silver cross dagger was sandwiched in the book at this time.
"Our Heavenly Father, may your name be revealed...", as each syllable of the prayer was recited, the priest approached the unconscious Grindelwald step by step with a dagger.
The priest stopped at the edge of Grindelwald's bed and slashed his palm with the dagger, blood and holy water forming a ruby coating the dagger's surface.
"I beg you to forgive him for his sins, just as you forgive the sins of others...", the dagger in the priest's hand stabbed Grindelwald in the chest, "Devil, get out of this child's body yet!" ”
The priest's dagger was suspended in mid-air, and no matter how hard the priest tried, he could not move forward.
"You devil!" As he spoke, the priest poured the remaining holy water from the kettle towards Grindelwald, and a powerful shockwave lifted the priest into the wall.
Grindelwald's right eye slowly opened, and the silver pupil stared at Father Grist, "Are you a little too rude to use an exorcism ritual on the owner of the body?" Grindelwald's voice at this time was full of dullness and vicissitudes that did not belong to a child.
The priest was pinned against the wall by a transparent force, struggling and screaming, "This..... With so many resentful spirits, are you the embodiment of Satan!? Father Grister saw in that eye an endless tower of corpses, and a white-haired man with a crown was sitting upright on the throne looking down at him.
"Shhhh Grindelwald's right eye winked mischievously at Father Glister.
Father Grist's purple tie turned into a python the size of an adult's arm, and the python hissed as it stuck out its tongue.
The priest was not afraid of the python crawling on him, and roared with all his strength, "You devil! You will be sanctioned by God! The power that suppressed Father Grister intensified after this roar, and the wall behind Grist began to crack like a spider's web, and blood continued to spurt out of Father Glister's mouth.
"I've said I'm going to be quieter, but.... Are you really the Heavenly Father you think you are? Grindelwald's right eye kept rolling, as if he had thought of something very interesting, and then suddenly looked directly into the priest's eyes, "If I don't let you see the god you believe in, it will be very, very, very interesting." ”
The transparent force vanished, and the priest quickly slipped off the wall and sat down on the chair Grindelwald had prepared for him, "My lord, am I going to heaven..... The priest's eyes began to gradually become cloudy, and his expression was joyful and reverent.
But soon the priest felt as if he had been struck by something, and his whole body convulsed violently: "No! That's impossible! This is the devil's demagoguery! The priest seemed to have seen the most terrible thing, and his hands were constantly trying to cover his eyes, trying to avoid what he was seeing.
Something began to appear on the priest's body, and his clothes were gradually soaked with a translucent, viscous liquid.
"I see, just dig it up and you won't see it! Hahaha! Just dig it up and you won't see it! ”
As the two ping-pong balls fell to the ground, the priest's mood gradually eased, but the strangulation marks on his body continued to deepen, as if he was being torn by something, and the priest's flesh and blood were disappearing piece by piece.
"It turns out .... We are all sacrifices of God...."
The priest disappeared into his seat, and even the blood sacrifice on the ground seemed to be licked by some transparent monster, and gradually disappeared.
Grindelwald's right eye slowly closed, as calm as a baby sleeping peacefully.
"The ceremony has just begun."
