Chapter 40: The Truth Revealed

in the hospital

Lei Chan thanked the doctor who bandaged him, and after moving his shoulder, he confirmed that there was no major problem, and then said to Alice, who was standing aside, "Let's go, go see the injured man." ”

The two were made to another intensive care unit, although Mary's injuries appeared to be severe. But perhaps it was the disgusting shellac that stopped the bleeding somewhat, and although he lost his left arm and was extremely malnourished, he was in good spirits.

When she saw Lei Chan coming, Mary expressed her gratitude. But when she heard that her husband was still not spared, she couldn't help but cry bitterly. By the time Linda Jr. was taken to the hospital by the police who had been notified, it was already thirty minutes later.

Looking at the mother and daughter hugging and crying, Lei Chan and Alice couldn't help but feel emotional.

I only heard Alice say faintly: "Ray... If we don't make it to the house, or even the crypt, then they..."

Lei Chan didn't speak, of course he knew what Alice meant, and the more than a dozen cases of murder before were not just a lesson for Mary's family. After thinking deeply for a long time, he said to Alice on the side: "We are exorcists, aren't we?" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at little Linda, who was still hiding in his mother's arms, turned around and walked out. Alice also smiled at the mother and daughter and followed. It wasn't until the two left that little Linda, who had been unwilling to speak, said timidly to her mother: "Mommy, why is the big brother talking to the air?" ”

...

Because of the solution to this case, Alice only felt relieved. After catching up with Lei Chan, he showed a lazy smile and asked, "Lei, it's over, where are you going?" ”

Who knew that Lei Chan turned around, looked at Alice with a serious face and said, "No, the matter is not over, there is still something for us to do." ”

Alice was a little surprised, but Lei Chan beckoned her to follow.

Lei Chan said as he walked, "Didn't you find out that the abandoned house was an orphanage that was not yet functioning?" ”

Alice nodded and said, "Yes, it was found from the county annals, but what happened has not been found yet, but now that I think about it, it may have been caused by the locust ogre attacking the orphanage!" ”

Lei Chan nodded, shook his head again, and said, "You can say that, but it's only half right. Most orphanages are sponsored by well-wishers, and that house is certainly no exception. It was the home of some mad scientist, but then the experimenter didn't know what he had done and died in that hut. When his body was found, it had been gnawed by rats. As for why it stopped, I got part of the information that shows that there are too many rats... I think the locust ghoul must have occupied the passage as one of the entrances and exits after the house was abandoned. Remember when I fell into the basement? I found this in the basement! ”

Lei Chan said and took out a worn cowboy hat from her backpack, Alice was stunned when she saw it, of course she recognized it as her cowboy hat, even the holes on it were exactly the same. But isn't that cowboy hat on top of your head?

Alice subconsciously touched her head, the cowboy hat was still firmly on her head, but she saw Lei Chan looking at herself with a serious face, and continued:

"I'll put this matter aside for a moment, but in fact, before I joined you, I made another phone call to Father Morin to confirm something. He did ask you for help, but it wasn't me, but Milo's bearded man!

Also, I checked the front desk of the hotel where we stayed and confirmed that a few days before my stay, the missing Milo was in the same room. Haven't you ever wondered how you got to this town? ”

Lei Chan's words made Alice a little stunned, and she began to try to remember what she had been doing before she found Lei Chan. But he could only remember that when he came back from his trance, he was already standing in front of the motel, and he only remembered that he was invited by Father Morin to help an exorcist investigate local affairs.

"Don't you remember yet?" Lei Chan stood in front of a hospital room and said, "Everything that happened before I arrived, what happened to you and Milo to that hut, where did you happen, what happened to you in a coma?" ”

With that, he pushed open the door of the hospital room, allowing Alice to see the people lying on several hospital beds inside, one of which was Alice herself.

"You're in an out-of-body state right now, it's time to remember, or your body will fall into a deep sleep!" Lei Chan stood outside the door, ignoring everyone's strange eyes, and said to the air.

It wasn't until this time that Alice suddenly understood.

Why did the front desk of the motel always look at Lei Chan with a strange expression; Why after separating from Lei Chan, she can no longer see anyone; Why did little Linda have a fear of the inexplicably open wardrobe and throw herself into Lei Chan's arms instead; Why are taxi drivers afraid of being like that; Why is your attack completely ineffective against that monster?

It turns out that he is a soul, and others can't see him at all!

Her mind was a little confused and asked, "Ray, what the hell is going on?" ”

Lei Chan sighed and walked into the ward. At this time, several other exorcists in the ward had already woken up, and the bearded Milo greeted him happily when he saw Lei Chan coming, only Alice's body was still lying on the bed and falling asleep deeply.

Lei Chan didn't pay attention to Milo, but took a chair and sat next to Alice's hospital bed, and said to Alice on the side:

"I can probably guess most of what happened that day, you were invited by Father Maureen to help Milo. Not surprisingly, both of you must have found clues to the abandoned house. It is not difficult to see from the rat corpses everywhere that the scientist's undead is still experimenting in that room, rest assured that he is just indulging in his own time, I have solved it. Lei Chan knew what Alice wanted to say, and did not hesitate to grab her lines.

Several exorcists on the side watched in surprise as Lei Chan spoke into the air, and Milo even asked, "Lei, who are you talking to?" ”

Lei Chan ignored them and continued: "You may not have found the scientists on the second floor, but you must have found the passage in the basement, and the biggest evidence is the cowboy hat you dropped on the ground. Perhaps you had already spotted the locust ghoul at that time, and in a hurry, you didn't even remember to pick up your hat and chased after it.

But you never thought that you were fast food delivered to your door. The crypt was filled with a disgusting rancid smell, and there was no way for ordinary people to stay in that environment for too long, or they would pass out. Without the slightest preparation, you will undoubtedly become food delivered to your door, if there is no accident from the construction team!

Two days earlier, the construction team had an accident that smashed open the ground and dispersed the rancid smell of the crypt. It was this accident that saved the lives of several of you, and you were quickly found and taken to the hospital. It's just that it seems that the ghoul must have a habit of cleanliness, and when he found a few of you, he was almost stripped naked, so he couldn't find any news about you, which caused the news of your disappearance to reach the Brotherhood.

I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm sure you're out of body right now! ”

As he spoke, Lei Chan picked up an apple on the table and bit it down hard, he was so hungry! While eating, he turned his head to the several exorcists who were already confused, especially Milo, and said, "I'm talking to Alice's spirit!" ”

Alice: "..."

Milo: "..."

A few other tricks that don't even have names: "..."
