Chapter 33: The Wandering Exorcist
After opening the door, Lei Chan saw a young woman standing outside the door.
The woman wore a dusty cowboy hat on her head, a homespun red plaid shirt, an old-looking pair of jeans underneath, and a pair of dirt-covered boots. Although she looked very simple, her face was very clean. He has long black hair and a shawl, and his eyes are piercing. She was carrying a small duffel bag in her hand, and the duffel bag was also full of traces of wind and frost, and it seemed that she had accompanied her owner for many years.
"You are?" Lei Chan was a little puzzled, and after searching his memory, he was very sure that he didn't know the woman in front of him, so he asked.
Who knew that the woman was quite rude and squeezed into the room, put the duffel bag on the chair on the side, and then took off the cowboy hat and patted it, raising a puff of dust that made Lei Chan on the side cough a few times before the woman put the cowboy hat on the table full of information.
"Hey! Who are you? How do you just come into my room? Lei Chan was already a little annoyed.
The woman patted the dust off her body, and then shook the long hair on her shoulders, tied it up with a leather band, and said with a bright smile at Lei Chan: "Hello, I'm Alice, a wandering exorcist." I received a request from Father Maureen, so I came. ”
Lei Chan was stunned, although wandering exorcists were not uncommon, it was the first time he had met such a cheeky female wandering exorcist.
...
After a short exchange, Lei Chan finally understood what was going on.
The Brotherhood deals with evil spirits in the Far East, and is said to have had some conflicts with a famous local exorcist. Father Maureen traveled extensively and had some relationship with the exorcist, so he set out for the East to negotiate.
After receiving Razen's message, Father Merlin had no choice but to seek the help of the exorcists in the vicinity. Coincidentally, or some kind of "providence", the exorcists in this area either hit the streets, or ran away to other places. The only one who can help is Alice, the wandering exorcist.
And why would Alice squeeze into Rayzen's room? Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with PY trading.
According to Alice's exact words, "We wandering exorcists are not treated as well as you members of the Brotherhood, and we have to take care of our own equipment, and we have to take care of our own food and lodging." Even if you solve an evil spirit event, there is no bounty to collect, and even the living expenses are exchanged for fake credit cards. To help you this time, of course you should take care of my room and board! ”
When Lei Chan asked Alice why she didn't join the Brotherhood, Alice showed a meaningful smile: "It's the first time I've seen such a young exorcist, believe me, if you can, it's better to quit the Brotherhood early, this broken organization is not a good place to stay." ”
Seeing that Alice didn't want to say more, Lei Chan no longer continued to dwell on the topic, but instead asked her opinion on the local incident, and unexpectedly there was an unexpected gain.
...
According to the information collected by Alice, there was a vicious incident in the local area.
Lei Chan thought that Alice was referring to the destruction incident, but she took out a piece of information and handed it to Lei Chan. He took it and was stunned, because it was a car accident report from fifty years ago.
"What does this mean? I don't understand! Lei Chan was a little confused.
"Look at the seventh line on page two." Alice asked Lei Zen to follow her instructions to check the information, and unpacked a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth.
Lei Chan flipped over when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw what Alice wanted to let him see.
On the seventh line is the testimony of Charlie, the driver of the crash, according to Charlie's description. At that time, he was driving on the village road, because it was late at night, and there was no one on the village road at all, so he drove a little haphazardly.
But suddenly, two women in red dresses rushed out from the side of the village road, as if they were waiting there to rush out and be bumped by Charlie. Charlie panicked, took a dozen steering wheels and crashed into a corn field next to the village road.
At that time, the stability of the car was extremely poor, and after the gasoline leak, the fire quickly ignited, completely igniting a nearby corn field, and then the farmers who arrived desperately fought the fire for the night.
According to the results of the on-site investigation on the crash report, there were no footprints of a second or third person at the scene at the time, except for Charlie's ruts and footprints. People think that this is a prevarication made by the driver Charlie in order to shirk responsibility.
In the end, no one believed Charlie's words, and the incident ended with a large amount of compensation paid by Cha Claim.
Originally, the case file was over here, but after seeing that Lei Chan had read it, Alice took out another copy of the text from the duffel bag again and handed it over.
Lei Chan took it and continued to check, and found that this was another headless case that had been closed, and he was familiar with it, and he had seen the information on this case just a few hours ago.
The master's house was destroyed, and the murderer was the hostess, who fled in the eyes of everyone after killing her husband and son, and finally disappeared mysteriously. But these are not the point, the point is that the man who was killed is Charlie in the previous car accident report.
Lei Chan took a deep breath and asked, "So, what you think happened in this place has something to do with what Charlie said, those two women in red dresses?" ”
Alice stuffed the last piece of bread into her mouth, took another sip of water, and exhaled with satisfaction, then nodded and said: "I looked through the local annals, and found that the murders that occur every twelve years basically happen in the vicinity of this cornfield. And I also asked the neighbors of the family in a recent murder case, according to them, before the incident, they had heard a violent argument in the family's house, and it seemed that some woman had been mentioned. ”
Lei Chan asked with some surprise, "How did you get these materials?" You must know that none of the previous exorcists of the Brotherhood found this. ”
Alice smiled dissatisfiedly: "This is the difference between us wandering exorcists and you, don't care where I got this information from, do you have any information on hand to share?" ”
"Uh... Does this count? As far as the current situation is concerned, Lei Chan has obviously been suppressed by Alice's powerful aura, and honestly handed over the information left by the previous team of exorcists and Milo.
At the same time that Alice was checking these materials, Lei Chan was stunned again, saying that he had a lot of opportunities to be stunned this day, because the "prophets" began to speak again.
...
JJ2: I'm going, why is Alice here?
Timmy: I just wanted to say, why is Lei Chan here?
Ending: What do you mean by this upstairs?
FF13: You can go and see this Lei Chan's previous performance, this thing directly messed up the two plots of the screenwriter team in the last episode, and he hasn't closed the small black house yet, it's really talented.
Timmy: You don't know, I was curious to check out this extras from Zenith, do you know what this thing is called over there? The plot stirs up, I think it's a good show again!
The cat dropped: I don't think so, there is that monster in this ghost place, unless he can find the secret passage in that house, he is not the same as the previous team, going out to get a boxed lunch.
Buy and leave: Bet on it, Lei Chan Alice breaks the plot of one loss of three, Lei Chan Alice hangs up one loss of 0.5!
FF2: I'll go, your odds are outrageous!
...
The words of the "prophets" on the screen were more and more off topic, but some of the information revealed in them couldn't help but cast a haze over Lei Chan's heart.
At this time, Alice finally finished reading Lei Chan's information, stretched her waist and said, "Let's go!" It's time for us to go! ”
"Go? Where to go? Lei Chan glanced at the already dark sky outside the window, indicating that he was a little budding newcomer, and he looked confused.
"The ruined house, of course!"
