Chapter 12: The Beaver?
Almost instantly, Lei Chan, who was standing behind Milo, immediately protected the old man behind him, and at the same time pulled out the dagger he had inserted in his waist, and Milo in front of him even exaggerated the pistol and aimed at the old man.
"Who are you!" Milo asked loudly with a pistol pointed at the old man.
The movement of the two men outside the door had already attracted the attention of the old man, who closed the Bible in his hand and respectfully drew a cross. Only then did he lower his eyebrows and glance at the three people outside the door, and then slowly took out the six-pointed star badge made of hardwood from his chest pocket again and said, "Young man, don't be so angry, come in first!" ”
Although Lei Chan is a cute newcomer and a common sense idiot, he can see at a glance that the badge and his E-class exorcist badge are the same style, not to mention the huge "B" word on it.
The two put away their weapons and led the old man into the house.
Well... Let's first explain the identities of the two old men.
The old man who littered the seashore was named Lepp, a retired veteran. And the old man who appeared in Milo's house, holding the B-class exorcist badge, was famous.
His full name is Maureen Lancaster, and some people may wonder who he is, but if the surname is removed and a priest is added behind Maureen, I believe that many people will naturally have a little impression.
In the movie "The Exorcist" and its prequels, Father Morin leads a generation of exorcists and demons in the fight.
The real movie script "World of Horror" not only put the demons of the past into the script, many famous exorcists, and soul killers were put into the script. Especially the characters who killed Matt Danye, the god of war Kui Ge, who had explosive combat effectiveness, were even more written into the script.
...
Belch... It's far away, back to the text.
Father Maureen was sent to a church near Georgia because of the Church's arrangement. As an archaeologist who can exorcise demons based on faith alone, and after believing in God, he has fought many times against demons that have descended on the human world. Father Morin can be regarded as a respected old man among the exorcists.
Although it is a bit vulgar to say this, but Morin Lao... The B-class exorcist worn by the priest represents the affirmation of the brotherhood for this old man.
Father Maureen was in the church and heard the faithful talking, and it was only then that he stumbled upon the ghost ship. After getting the news from the Brotherhood, it was already after the four exorcists disappeared into the sea.
Upon hearing the news, Father Maureen volunteered to save the lost lambs. After Lei Chan knew the priest's intentions, he also had to complain about the exorcists in this world, and every one of them really has a big heart. Obviously, such a dangerous thing, I don't want to come in every way, and there are still people who will take the initiative to apply.
After all, but things still have to be done, and the arrival of Father Morin also brings with it the records left by the previous team of exorcists.
...
According to the records left by the team of exorcists, they found some long-lasting water stains on the only fishing boat they had returned. After testing with the IMF, it was confirmed that ghosts had ever appeared on fishing boats. The team of exorcists eventually found a record of a shipwreck in the Nautical Chronicle in the Beaver Town Library.
In the early nineties, a medium-sized cargo ship with the name Beaver was launched at the dock in Beaver Town. At that time, the mayor of Beaver Town spent nearly 70% of the town's capital loan for the town's GDP and his own performance. In order to show his political achievements, the mayor of the town even personally served as the honorary captain of the cargo ship and participated in the first voyage of the beaver.
Of course, since the maiden voyage is mentioned, it is naturally not difficult to guess what will happen next.
On its maiden voyage, the beaver accidentally ran aground as it passed through the waters near Midway. It was a cold winter, and the beaver wreck happened to be in the fishing moratorium, and there were no ships passing by nearby. In the end, none of the 23 crew members on the Beaver, along with the honorary captain Captain Town, survived!
Naturally, the exorcists believe that this is the awakening of the mayor's ghost after a lapse of decades.
...
Lei Chan looked through the manual in front of him in confusion, which was issued within the Brotherhood and was a basic manual for dealing with some common ghost monsters.
As an internal document, only exorcists with B-level or higher qualifications are authorized to read it, but Lei Chan is still skeptical of the above description.
Let's take the ghost ship page, for example, which reads:
The way to deal with ghost ships is simple, there are two ways. The first method, as long as it is a ghost ship, there must be some kind of core on the ghost ship, and this core is the necessary key for the ghost ship to sail on the sea. The core could be a cup, a table or even a piece of rotten beef, and as long as it is destroyed, then the ghost ship will naturally disappear.
The second method is obviously a little more superficial, and it is said that the reason why every ghost ship appears at sea is because the ghost ship has a wish that has not been fulfilled, and as long as the ghost ship's last wish is fulfilled, then the ghost ship will naturally disappear.
Obviously, there is no type of ghost ship in Olivia's mouth in the manual, and he certainly believes Olivia's words more than the description in an unknown book.
Closing the manual casually, Milo and Lepp on the other side had finished listening to Father Morin's description. The records left by the previous team of exorcists apparently locked the body of the ghost ship to the body of the beaver that sank in the waters off Midway in the early nineties.
And it seems that as described in the manual, the boat went to sea with the intention of destroying the core of the ghost ship. It's just that the exorcists of the previous team are obviously not the protagonists, and this trip to sea has become a point of no return.
Milo spoke, "So Father Morin, judging by this record, is this ship the Silent Beaver?" ”
Father Morin nodded and said, "According to the records left by the previous team, the only ghost ship that may appear in the waters around here is this one Beaver, so it is extremely likely!" ”
At this moment, Lei Chan rolled his eyes and walked over and said, "I don't think so, don't forget what we worked so hard to find Ryp for. Records are written down by people, and if anyone forgets to record them, it is not surprising that there are ghost ships that we have not discovered. ”
The two were stunned when they heard this, and immediately set their eyes on Ryp in front of them.
Lepp is a white-haired man of about seventy years old, who is very strong despite his advanced age. He wore a brown leather jacket, a gray beret on his head, and ordinary trousers underneath, and looked no different from an ordinary old man.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the gray-haired old man sighed deeply and unzipped his leather jacket!
