Chapter 62: Sleeping Alice
The road ahead was long, and Lei Chan sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly at the horizon that disappeared into the sky in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that he was holding a giant strawberry pie in his hand, I think it would have been a perfect picture.
"Ray, what are you thinking?" Maybe the atmosphere in the car was a little dull, and Milo, who was driving, couldn't help but find some words.
Lei Chan came back to his senses and looked at the backpack in the back seat, more precisely, the old cowboy hat in the backpack, and then said slowly: "I don't know!" Milo, have you ever thought about the fact that we exorcise demons day after day, year after year, but there are still so many monsters in this world, what is the point of us doing this? ”
Milo was stunned, obviously not expecting Ray to think about it to this point. As an uncle with more than ten years of life experience than Lei Chan, this is the first time he has shown a helpless smile: "I have also been confused as you said, but does it make sense to think about this?" ”
Listening to Milo's words, Lei Chan was stunned for a moment. yes, does that make sense? Because even if it doesn't make sense, doesn't he make a living from it? He didn't even know that one day he would be too old to exorcise demons, and what else he would be able to do, maybe he would have to hide in some dark corner and wait for death.
Thinking like this, Lei Chan couldn't help grinning and stuffed another mouthful of strawberry pie into his mouth.
Milo, who was on the side, saw Lei Chan grinning, and then said as if nothing was there: "Actually, those truths are like shit to us exorcists, aren't they?" Although our profession sounds like an exorcist or a witcher, to put it bluntly, we are just an alternative cleaner in this world. So, I never thought about it that much, but I kept doing things that ordinary people shouldn't be exposed to every day until the day I died. ”
Lei Chan stared at Milo who was driving in surprise, this was the first time he had a change in his impression of this bearded uncle, maybe this was the first time that an uncle who had been silent in a bar said so much, but it seemed that this thing was just a cold-faced and hot-hearted guy.
At this moment, Milo said again: "Ray, is it really okay for you to do this?" ”
Lei Chan's face changed, and for a moment he couldn't help but think of the woman in white and Liang, and asked calmly, "What?" ”
"You're so nonsense, it's easy to get sick!" Uncle Milo looked at Lei Chan with a worried expression.
Lei Chan: "..."
Well, I agree with that.
...
There were no words all the way, and it was close to evening when we arrived in Los Angeles.
Lei Chan and Milo came to a small private clinic, which looked like it was run by a Mongolian military doctor, but it was actually an important stronghold of the Brotherhood!
Milo solemnly introduced Lei Chan and pushed open the door of the small clinic. Of course, in exchange for Lei Chan's expression, you TM are teasing me.
Fortunately, the facts proved everything for Uncle Milo, and after passing through the two dim passages and entering the dark passage behind a bookshelf, Lei Chan was already about to start complaining about the indissoluble bond between the Brotherhood and the bookshelf. But the bright room in front of him, the neat instruments suddenly made him speechless.
Who would have thought that a medical institution with a modern medical atmosphere would be hidden in such a dilapidated looking small building.
"Ray, come on!" Milo beckoned Lei Chan to go deeper, and soon came to a hospital room where Alice was lying.
Looking at Alice's familiar and pale face, Lei Chan didn't know what to say. Instead, Milo casually pulled over two chairs and sat down, and then said to Lei Chan: "Lei, sit down first." I'm curious, how did you meet Alice? ”
Lei Chan took out the cowboy hat that was sleeping with Alice's soul and gently placed it next to her pillow, and then sat down to describe what happened in Corn Town.
Fortunately, Milo, who is also an exorcist, smashed his mouth, but he easily accepted Lei Chan's story, after all, this group of guys also used a psychic disc to communicate with Alice in the hospital.
"The question now is how to wake Alice from her sleep and put her back into her body." Lei Chan stared at Alice who was sleeping on the bed and said calmly.
Milo was about to speak, but the door opened. Maybe it's Lei Chan's delusion, he just thinks that everyone who is engaged in research work must wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses to add a note to their identity.
I saw a white-faced mustache with thick wax and gold-rimmed glasses coming in from outside the door, and I was not surprised to see that the other people in the room still had a paralyzed face. However, he heard the conversation in the room, and gently lifted the glasses on his nose with his middle finger and said, "I have some ways to get the soul of this wandering exorcist back to my body, but... Milo, who is this guy? ”
Lei Chan subconsciously frowned, the little white face in front of him was obviously an acquaintance of the bearded uncle Milo, but it looked a little unkind.
Milo laughed, "Justin, isn't this the same guy I told you about who saved me in the vampire's lair, Rayzen!" Come on, laugh, don't keep a face, do you still want to be older than my uncle? ”
Listening to Milo's words that were similar to teasing a child, Lei Chan only felt that the black line on his forehead was about to break through the sky. And yet he laughed! That little white face named Justin smiled! The two mustaches actually shook upwards with laughter! Lei Chan looked at the two of them rather messily, and couldn't help but wonder if there was anything indescribable in them.
Alright, back to the main text.
After the interlude, Uncle Milo asked, "Justin, what is the way you just said that there is a way to get Alice's soul back into her body?" ”
Justin nodded and said, "Actually, the Brotherhood doesn't have many ways to return the soul to the body. The most important sources come from the witches and wizards of the West in the last century, and the Taoists, monks, and onmyoji of the East. According to the records, the human soul is completely in two states in the body and outside the body, and the simplest way to say it is the soul.
According to the Oriental saying, the word soul is the spirit and the soul when taken apart. The body is the spirit, and the outside is the soul. According to the West, the human soul is a ball of light, an electromagnetic band. But either way, if you want the soul to return to the body, you have to keep the spirit and soul in the same band in order for the soul to return to the body.
For now, though, there are two big problems. First, I didn't find out where this woman's soul was. In the absence of a soul, it is impossible to return her so-called soul to her body. ”
Lei Chan and Milo glanced at each other, finally relieved. In fact, Ray Chan came here to bring Alice's soul to her body.
"What's the second question?" Milo asked.
"Theoretically, we could have brought this woman back into the body, but we're still experimenting with how to adjust the soul band," said Justin, lifting the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose again, "and we're not 100% sure that we're going to get this woman back into his body." ”
It seemed that He Le Zhong looked at the disappointed expressions of the two, and said with a rare teasing look on Justin's face: "But it's not impossible..."
He wanted to continue teasing, but after seeing the expressions of Uncle Milo and Lei Chan. The paralyzed face finally realized that apart from Uncle Milo, who was not easy to provoke, this newcomer didn't seem to be easy to mess with. Wiping away a trace of cold sweat left on his forehead, he said, "Dongfang! ”
