157. Pain? (Add)
After leaving that eerie and terrifying street.
Night is falling.
At this point, it was only an hour at most until it was completely dark.
Dewey walked on the edge of Massas City, heading northeast.
With the connection between the two joker cards.
It was obvious to Du Wei that another card was approaching him, but Massas City was so big that the bald men of the Twilight Church couldn't get over it in a short time.
That is, he had enough time to look for a suitable trap.
Walking.
Du Wei opened his phone and clicked on a file.
This is the map of the city that Alex sent him before, and the places where many people have died are marked in red.
Zoom in on the city map.
There are six red areas that are very eye-catching, and the death toll in each place is not less than 100, the largest area is the most colorful, and the most colorful is a deserted community, the number of people is marked as - 3098.
Before, Alex told himself very clearly that this abandoned community was a mine in the last century, and the iron ore content was very abundant, and it was later completely hollowed out before it was converted into a community.
Of course...... As a former mine, cave collapses are a regular occurrence, so more than 3,000 people are known to have died in it.
No one knows the reason for the appearance of such a thing.
But often the most dangerous places are the more prone to evil spirits.
Therefore, Du Wei was ready to risk his life and find the most suitable place on the premise of saving his life, so as to surprise the people of the Twilight Bell Church without letting himself fall into a certain death.
This time, he was even more vigilant, he had been in the third stage of spiritual vision, except for the "right hand" that had not entered the evil spirit, he was basically fully armed.
The lighter is in the pocket.
Holding a black umbrella in his hand, the clown card is also put in his pocket and can be taken out at any time.
Two masks, one on the body and one in the backpack.
As long as he didn't fall into the terrible situation just now, it was impossible to kill him immediately.
"It's time to go......"
Du Wei said silently to himself, looking away from the closest position on the map of the city.
It was an abandoned elevated highway that served as a link to the city at the beginning of the century, but only halfway through its construction, a subsidence event occurred.
Half of the elevated highway collapsed to fill the deep pit in the ground, and more than 100 infrastructure workers also died in the accident, leaving no one alive.
And now, the place where Du Wei is going is this abandoned elevated road.
……
The other side.
Massas City, the street where James and others are located.
The two evil spirits had completely blocked them, neither advancing nor retreating, as if they were waiting for something.
Thompson stood five meters away from the male evil spirit in the front of the line, the candle in his hand burning only to the bottom, and they couldn't hold out for long.
What's even more troublesome is that almost all of the things that everyone can use to fight the evil spirits are consumed.
Of course......
Even if he had, Thompson didn't think it would make much of a difference.
The two bandaged evil spirits were a bit too terrifying, and in the church, it is estimated that there are no exorcists who can solve them, so they can only use the advantage of numbers to try to restrain them, or lock them up.
"Where did these two evil spirits come from, it is clear that the road we retreat from is the safest road that has been verified, but when we left, so many emergencies happened."
Even Bishop Thompson was so irritable that he couldn't help but scold.
With such a serious situation, Thompson had to do something to not let the situation be so passive.
He thought for a moment and beckoned directly to James in the back.
See here.
James hesitated for a moment and handed the camera to Homir: "You watch from behind, and if the evil spirit moves, call it out immediately." ”
As he spoke, his eyes swept solemnly over the evil spirit standing behind him.
It was the corpse of the twin sisters, one of whom was trapped in stained bandages, holding hands, his pale face devoid of emotion, and his eyes were blood-red.
Homir nodded solemnly and stared at the two corpses without saying a word, extremely vigilant in his heart.
James sighed inwardly, turned around and walked briskly to Bishop Thompson, who was standing in front.
"What are you going to do?"
James stepped forward, and he noticed that the candle was about to burn out, and when it was completely extinguished, none of them could get out of Massas City.
Bishop Thompson looked at James with a complicated look in his eyes and whispered in his ear, "Would you like to be a hunter?" ”
James was stunned for a moment and asked, "You...... What do you mean? Become a hunter? ”
Thompson said helplessly: "If it weren't for the fact that I was old and couldn't withstand the pain of entering the third stage of spiritual vision and entering the evil spirit, I would never ask you this kind of question, and now you only tell me whether you are willing or not." ”
James' face changed.
The originally serious expression was shown at this time, but it was thick and complex.
He didn't know why Bishop Thompson would say such a thing as a hunter or not.
But he knew that the situation was very troublesome now, and the bishop had said such things, and he must have thought that it would be possible to solve this kind of matter only if the hunter appeared.
Can be turned into a hunter......
How is that possible?
All along, the Church's information about hunters was kept secret, and only circulated among elite exorcists.
It is generally said that after entering the third stage of spiritual vision, the signs of evil spirits begin to gradually appear, and the exorcists at that time are the so-called hunters.
Only evil spirits can fight against evil spirits in the true sense of the word.
But what is the pain that Bishop Thompson is talking about?
When you start to turn into a demonic spirit, will it be painful?
James knew the bishop well, and he was also one of the elite exorcists, but because of his status, he was usually in charge of some big cities with other bishops, and he was very determined.
But that's it, Thompson actually felt that he couldn't survive that pain, could he get through it?
James hesitated.
When he joined the church and became an exorcist, he was ready to die in the event of an evil spirit.
But that doesn't mean he wants to be a hunter.
Because once he becomes a hunter, everyone will look at him in a strange light, and he will fall into a process of despair - gradually turning into an evil spirit.
In a sense, this is depravity.
Hunters are a group of desperate people, and the power they possess also represents despair......
If there is no faith, a firm belief will completely transform into an evil spirit and strike at the living at the moment of entering the evil spirit......
James took a deep breath, his mind was chaotic, but in a firm tone, he said to Bishop Thompson, "If this is the only way we can get out alive, then I am willing to be a hunter." ”
Thompson said softly: "I am convinced by your decision, but I promise you that once you become a hunter, the church will find a way to solve the hidden danger of your evil spirit, and you will also have access to the core secrets of the church, provided that you do not lose control and are willing to accept the absolute control of the church." ”
That's not a problem for James.
So he whispered, "What should I do now?" ”
Thompson lowered his voice and replied, "Hold that flintlock pistol, and in the state of psionics, go and fight against the evil spirits, before this candle burns, you should be able to enter the third stage of psionics." ”
His voice was quiet, but there was a deep sadness.
