Chapter 12 Remember to knock on the door before entering
"It's a surprise that there is electricity in this church." Ma Shuangcheng looked at the brightly lit interior of the church and couldn't help but sigh.
The priest, who called himself Scott O'Hara, shook his head and said with a slightly bitter expression: "After the disaster, in order to repair the power lines between here and the hydropower station, more than a dozen townspeople were killed, but because of the damage to the substation, there is only enough electricity to light a few lights, so I might as well not do it......
"Father O'Hara, can you tell me what's going on in Phil Grande?" Lao Bai was more worried about the progress of the task, so he couldn't wait to raise this question as soon as they met.
"Let's go in and talk, it's too lazy to have a few distinguished guests standing at the door." Scott O'Hara bowed to the men, then reached out and made a gesture to let them in.
The layout of the church is modest, and in terms of rank, it should be considered a small chapel, but the few statues of the Apostles indicate that it is indeed a Catholic church, not a Protestant church.
"I've given up the priest's house to a few poor homeless people, so I can't afford to invite you to sit there, so let's just say in the nave, please take a seat." Arriving at the nave, which seemed to hold about forty or fifty people, Scott O'Hara pointed to the empty chairs and said to the crowd.
Then he picked up a bottle of red wine on the altar beside him, and said to the crowd: "Wine is the blood of Christ, and my only solace in this desperate situation, this is the last bottle left. ”
"No, we'd like to hear from you about what's going on here." The others were in a hurry for the task and had no intention of trying it.
However, Zhu Jue looked at the bottle of red wine, and seemed to be a little moved, so he said: "They don't want me to come, fill it for me!" ”
Scott O'Hara nodded, took out two goblets, and didn't use a decanter, don't just pour two glasses of red wine from the bottle, and then handed one of them to Zhu Jue.
Zhu Jue took the glass of red wine, poured it into his stomach in one gulp, and frowned after drinking: "What kind of thing is this, it's not strong enough at all, I said do you have an old white gan, you don't have a bottle of Erguotou, and then a whole plate of edamame with fifty skewers of roasted kidneys, can you talk happily." ”
"Zhu Jue...... Can we stop talking about roasting kidneys? Lao Bai looked helplessly at Zhu Jue, who was still chirping after drinking red wine.
"It's my negligence...... Scott O'Hara didn't care, and said with a slight smile, "It seems that several of them are Orientals, and they should prefer spirits made from grain, but unfortunately all the whiskey in our town has been distilled into alcohol for medical purposes, otherwise I can treat you to a drink then." ”
"Ahem, let's not talk about these things yet." Lao Bai coughed dryly and brought the topic back, "Did Phil Grande suffer any serious disaster...... I mean, supernatural disasters. ”
"I heard Matthew, who led the way for you, that when you were approaching this town, you were attacked by the Coolan Devil Dogs, and you defeated them all." Scott O'Hara nodded and said, "We have indeed received an invasion and curse from demons here, but we are only mortals, and the inhabitants of this town have been brutally murdered by demons without being cut off from the outside world, and there are now less than three hundred people in the entire town. Since you have the ability to destroy the Kuran Demon Dog, then you should be a professional exorcist. I've heard that in East Asia, South Korea is the one with the most faith in God, are you Koreans? ”
"This Oba! How could we be sticks, Smecta! Hearing this, Zhu Juexian was unhappy, "We are from the Heavenly Empire, and even your President Obama is our people, giving the tiger talisman and watching the sea and listening to the waves!" ”
"Is the current president called Obama? I haven't heard of this name...... After all, we have been isolated from the outside world for too long. Scott O'Hara was a little confused, then replied again, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be from Red China, I heard that the people of faith are not friendly under the rule of the ruling party, and you are also believers in the Heavenly Father?" ”
"Our believers there have nothing to do with your Vatican, and they are mainly under the control of the Three-Self Patriotic Games. When do you plan to convert, tell me, I recommend a political commissar to open a letter of introduction for you......" Before Zhu Jue finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lao Bai again.
"Ahem, Father O'Hara...... We don't believe in God. Lao Bai pulled Zhu Jue back, he was a little worried about whether this guy had slammed a glass of wine, a little alcoholic, "But this doesn't mean anything, we came here to find out what is going on here, and if possible, we will also help you solve the problems here." ”
"It's okay...... All men are lambs of the Father, and as long as you have not fallen into the company of demons, you are saved. Naturally, I also believe that you are willing to help us fight the demons. Scott O'Hara said, "As for the ...... demons."
Scott O'Hara lowered his head, as if to gather his thoughts, before he sighed and said after a moment.
"As you can tell, we're mostly immigrants from Ireland, but when we built this town, we also welcomed a small number of gypsies who came to the New World in the hope of a better new life.
Although the beliefs and living customs are not the same, there are still some small contradictions between us and those gypsies, but after all, we are both trying to survive in the New World for a new life, and the two sides still try to tolerate these contradictions and live in harmony as much as possible.
It's just that it was the first few decades, and the Gypsies were confused in their beliefs, accustomed to being displaced, and still able to tolerate each other while building this town together. Later, I don't know why, the resentment between the two sides turned out to be greater, and then the conflict gradually broke out, until about ten years ago, the conflict had intensified to a very bad situation. There was even another violent clash between the two sides, and the dead appeared.
What I never expected was that those gypsies had not only not converted to God for so many years, but had retained some evil and vicious dark witchcraft habits. I don't know, they viciously cursed us innocent people.
The curse would have been fine elsewhere, but the New World seemed to be a place where the Father's glory was not favored, and beneath the town of Philgrande seemed to sleep an unknown demon awakened by the vicious curse, which caused a powerful earthquake that destroyed the town and sealed all contact with the outside world.
Fortunately, the demon had just awakened, and was not yet capable of destroying us completely, and it seemed that it did not dare to invade this church because of its fearful majesty, and I kept praying that many blessed crosses had stopped the demon for the time being.
But my personal power is too weak to completely stop the growing demon, which continues to kill and plunder the townspeople in the shadows, at first only occasionally, and now, almost every day, the townspeople are disappearing or dying, and if we don't stop the demon, it may not be long before we all die on this land.
So please help us and help us defeat the evil evil and save us. ”
After Scott O'Hara's words, everyone in the team heard a hint from N-Space: the current goal, the mutation to find Phil Grande has been completed, and 1,000 points will be awarded.
In the next stage, solve Phil Grande's mutation, and reward 2,000 points and a badge after completion.
"Don't worry, Father O'Hara." Ma Shuangcheng nodded to the others, then stood up and said, "We will never tolerate this kind of thing to continue to happen, if you have any other clues about that demon......"
But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a terrible scream coming from the church door.
Ma Shuangcheng immediately pulled out his twin guns, and the others quickly stood up and prepared for battle.
For some reason, the lights in the entire church suddenly flickered and flickered, and finally dimmed, barely illuminating the interior of the small church with a dim yellow light.
"Do you want to cling to your ridiculous excuses, Father Scott O'Hara, even in the face of these outsiders!" A hoarse voice came from the church door, followed by a figure slowly walking in. The figure was surrounded by an inexplicable shadow, and although it was also impossible to see what he really looked like, everyone immediately realized that he was the man who commanded the human-faced giant dog that the team had encountered in the mountains and forests outside of Philgrande.
"These are all mistakes you made!" Scott O'Hara seemed to recognize the figure in front of him, and he angrily blamed the other party, but he still seemed to be afraid of the other party's abilities, so he chose to stand behind the team.
“…… I said we'd meet again, outsiders. The figure said to the team, "If you had listened to me and left this place that is none of your business early, you might have a good end......
"These exorcists from the East will definitely banish that demon!" Stek O'Hara seemed to have found a place to rely on, and spoke with confidence, "And you will be punished for assisting the demon?" ”
"Eviction? Punish? The figure sneered, then said in a chilling voice, "This is our reckoning!" Liquidate you...... You, the sins you have committed against Silklet! ”
"Who are you! Why did you come in without knocking. ”
