Chapter 3: Brotherhood
In the end, 'Olivia' still didn't tell him about the events before Razen's amnesia, but life still has to go on, doesn't it?
Lei Chan is actually very curious, in his limited memory, he has been a lonely child since he was a child. Always transferring from school to school, never having any friends, appearing and disappearing in other people's lives like a passerby.
Even if you don't have to go to school, you'll be left in a motel by your parents who can't even remember what they look like, eating bad pizza and listening to rock music. There is only one reason for everything, because his parents are a pair of wandering exorcists.
Strangely, in his memory, his powerful parents never realized the existence of 'Olivia' around him. Until one day, when he was bored studying at school, 'Olivia' told him that his parents would never come back.
Lei Chan pushed open the door of the school and rushed home, waiting for several days, but never seeing his parents come back. Finally, a man he didn't know knocked on the door of Lei Chan's house.
Lei Chan didn't open it, but just looked vigilantly at the man outside the door through the screen window on the side. The man tries to convince Razen to come out and wants to get him out of here, as his parents have already met with misfortune after provoking a litter of vampires.
Those guys will definitely not let Lei Chan go, so the man, who is also an exorcist, wants to take Lei Chan away.
However, the kid still refused, and the exorcist did not intend to give up, and agreed to come and leave with Lei Chan in the evening, whether he wanted it or not.
It's just that it's still late, because those vampires came to the door of Lei Chan's house a moment before the sun went down!
When the exorcist came to the door that had been opened by Lei Chan's house again, he was surprised to take out his silver knife and rush in. only to find that the corpses of vampires were poured all over the place, and the whereabouts of the son of an old friend were unknown!
Since then, Lei Chan has been wandering around the country, and his son has become a lonely exorcist in his father's business. Because of Olivia', he didn't even dare to have too much contact with other exorcists, for fear that one day his only friend would leave because of it.
...
Now, after repeatedly telling 'Olivia' not to leave the house, Lei Chan left the house alone.
He glanced at the house number in front of the apartment, 338 Pine Street, and quietly jotted down his new address before pulling out a notebook from his backpack. After flipping through it and looking for it, he got on a bus and left, only 'Olivia' floated in front of the window, watching Lei Chan leave with a gloomy expression.
As mentioned earlier, this world is full of spirits and ghosts. Humans are the most numerous creatures in this world, but when it comes to supernatural powers, they are absolutely at the bottom. So, in order to deal with this endless stream of demons and monsters, the profession of exorcist came into being.
But the lessons of history always tell us that fighting alone is definitely a typical example of death. After a period of blind darkness, the exorcists finally began to organize and plan their group behavior. The Exorcist organization, with its headquarters in New York, has branches all over the world, and it is like planting a flag.
And the target of Lei Chan's trip is one of the Exorcists' branches, the Exorcist Station located in a small forest town.
In many cases, Lei Chan alone cannot discover those supernatural events. So the longest place for wandering exorcists, except for those cheap bars, is the exorcist station.
Compared to those regular soldiers, these wandering exorcists of the single gang are obviously some bold guys, and they are embarrassed to call themselves exorcists if they don't have any special skills in their hands.
The name of the Exorcist organization is the Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood is also divided into two factions for these wandering exorcists. Some of them are approving of these free day workers, but others think that these guys are also a cancer of humanity.
However, in the face of the ghosts of the other world, the Brotherhood still chooses the interests of humanity and scatters countless exorcist stations around the globe that provide information and technical support.
...
Lei Chan came to a bookstore, and saw a dzi-like symbol drawn in the inconspicuous corner under the signboard, so he pushed the door and walked in.
Standing in front of the counter was an old lady with gold-rimmed glasses, who glanced at Lei Chan and asked, "Child, what book do you want to read?" Maybe light prose will suit you better! ”
Lei Chan was a little stunned, and then said: "No, I want to come and find some work to do, I just moved to this city, and my life is a little embarrassing!" ”
The old lady put down the book in her hand and said, "Son, our bookstore is not recruiting people, you might as well go to the fast food restaurant on the street and take a look, maybe there should be a place for temporary workers." ”
"Uh... No! I'm an exorcist! Only then did Lei Chan react, the old lady actually regarded herself as an ordinary person.
The old lady's face became serious: "Listen, child! Although I don't know where you heard the words exorcist. But believe me, there are so many monsters in this world, you are still young, you should not be involved in this, you will regret it! ”
Lei Chan smiled instead: "I'm an E-class exorcist, and I've also participated in the Vampire Baron incident in Kansas!" Yes, this is the identity certificate given to me by the fraternity at that time! As he spoke, he took out a bronze badge with a six-pointed star pattern from his bosom, and an E was engraved in the center of the badge.
The old lady glanced at the badge and was very sure that it was the organization's credentials, then sighed and said, "Welcome to the dark world, my child!" ”
After saying that, he pressed a button on the table, and a strange sound rang out in the store. The old lady said to Lei Chan that after she was behind the third bookshelf, she didn't bother with Lei Chan anymore.
Lei Chan didn't care, he walked straight in, and behind the third bookshelf, a downward underground passage appeared. As he entered, the shelves returned to their place.
After pushing open a wooden door, the sudden sound made Lei Chan quite uncomfortable, and after plucking his ears hard, Lei Chan walked in.
A few people who were still talking and laughing loudly inside were very surprised to see an oriental face suddenly come in. You must know that there are exorcists in the mysterious East, but here is the West, and there are almost no Oriental faces in the exorcist industry.
Although curious, adhering to the adage that it is not about oneself, a few rough men turned their heads and continued to talk and laugh, but the corner of their eyes still kept looking.
As if he didn't see it, Lei Chan walked straight to the bar, and still took out the "E" copper seal and put it on the stage.
"I want to take on a mission!"
