Qiao Wei's father is not particularly familiar with Louis Gordon, but he is an old acquaintance with Gordon's wife, Grace.

Grace's outstanding talent for psychics when she was young once attracted the attention of the Holy See, and Qiao Wei's father was also a representative of the exorcist faction who came to contact and communicate with Grace, although in the end Grace did not choose to join the Holy See, but became friends with Qiao Wei's father.

Qiao Wei's father also expressed regret for Grace choosing to get married and have children in the heyday of her career, but he still supported Grace to choose the life she longed for.

It is precisely because of this relationship that when Louis Gordon came to Qiao Wei's house to ask Qiao Wei's father for help, Craig did not say a word, and promised to help find out the cause of Grace's death.

After Louis left, Qiao Wei's father immediately summoned me, Qiao Wei and Qiao Wei's mother, as well as two other exorcists who came to help find information about the gods and demons that day, and we had a short meeting together to discuss the next investigation process.

Qiao Wei's father felt that this time Qiao Wei and I could enter the town from the bright spot and conduct a high-profile investigation into Grace's death, which was a trick to startle the snake. At the same time, he will arrange for other exorcists to spy on the situation in the town to confirm whether any evil gods have descended.

Once we've figured out the evil god and clarified the identity, abilities, and weaknesses of the other party, we'll gather together to attack them.

I have absolutely no objection to this arrangement, although no one is sure whether this evil god was released by me or not, but as long as there is the slightest possibility, I feel that I have the responsibility to deal with it. Qiao Wei also has no objections, he also feels that after learning the theory for so many days, it is time to test the learning results through practical actions.

After the proposal was approved by all members, we worked out a detailed course of action. Qiao Wei and I, who entered the town in a high-profile manner, must strictly follow the pre-formulated haode action route to carry out an investigation, and if we need to change Jihua temporarily, we must get in touch with Qiao Wei's father as soon as possible, so that he can have time to deploy the exorcist in charge of the secret visit, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the people who protect us to change their action strategy.

By the time Jihua was all decided, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the two exorcists who came to help left first to make personnel contacts and other related preparations, while we rested at home, and Qiao Wei and I drove to the town of Offoni early the next morning to investigate according to Jihua.

At half past eight in the morning, Qiao Wei and I arrived at the town of Offoni on time according to Jihua.

The town is located in a hilly area, and the roads and buildings in the town also rise and fall with the direction of the mountain. Tall trees can be seen everywhere in the town, each family has its own independent courtyard, there are trees and grass in the yard, the trees have sprouted in early spring, and the lawn has also grown a piece of tender green, looking at the past, the whole town is surrounded by a faint greenery, giving people a refreshing feeling of relaxation and happiness.

If the purpose of our trip wasn't to investigate a bizarre murder, I'd rather think of it as a pleasant trip to a small suburban town.

Within five minutes of entering the town, Qiao Wei and I found the small building of Gordon's house.

The small building is located in the southwest corner away from the town center, and there are no other buildings around it, for some reason, the trees around this building show no signs of germination at all, and the grass is also bare, which is in stark contrast to the greenery we have seen in the town before, which also makes this lonely small building on the outskirts of the town exude an eerie feeling.

Qiao Wei parked the car in front of the courtyard gate, and the two of us got out of the car and walked directly towards this gloomy little building.

I walked ahead and gently pushed open the wooden fence gate of the yard, and the wooden gate creaked hoarsely, like a crow was calling.

"This place feels a bit evil!" I sighed under my breath as I walked into the courtyard.

Gordon's small building had obviously not been repaired for many years, the building had been eaten by termites, the paint on the exterior walls had almost peeled off, and the word "witch" written in red paint on the main entrance and windows was still faintly visible.

Although the Gordon family has been separated for several years, the two have not divorced, and the property is still owned by Gordon. Grace still did not come back after Grace's death, but asked a friend to help him tidy up the room and lock the doors and windows, and the funeral took place in the city of London.

When we came, we brought the key to Gordon's house, so this time we didn't need Qiao Wei to knock on the door, and directly used the key to open the door and enter the house.

The door shaft of the gate was also rusty, and not only did it make a loud noise when it was opened, but it also jammed when the door was pushed. I tried to push the door open completely, but I didn't control my hand and removed the door from the door frame with a click.

"Are you sure you're not here to wreak havoc?" Qiao Wei complained about me behind me.

"I didn't use much effort, it's the ...... of the door itself"

I was explaining, when suddenly there was a bang from inside the house, as if something had fallen to the ground!

"Anyone?" I turned around and said something to Qiao Wei, and at the same time, the nerves in my whole body immediately tensed.

Qiao Wei didn't speak, just pointed to himself, and gestured to the second floor with his eyes, meaning that he was going to go over and have a look. Then he pointed at me again, and then to the door, and motioned for me to stay here.

I nodded at him, then put the removed door back on the frame and barricaded it against the doorway.

After I finished preparing here, Qiao Wei also came to the staircase and asked while looking, "Is there anyone in the house?" We have no ill intentions, we are not the police, we are just friends of the owner of this house, you don't have to be nervous, if you are here to steal, then you can leave through the main entrance, we will not call the police. ”

"I'm not a thief."

Qiao Wei's tentative salute really worked, and as soon as he finished speaking, a response immediately came from the second floor.

"You're a friend of Mr. Gordon?" Qiao Wei asked again.

This time, the other party did not reply immediately, but the sound of footsteps gradually moved from the second floor towards the staircase, and after a while, a young man with short blond hair walked out.

It may be a bit inappropriate to say that he is a young man, but it is more appropriate to use a boy. He looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old at most, his body was very thin, his height was not as tall as mine, and his face also had a timid expression, like a child who had done something wrong and was caught by an adult.

"You are?" Qiao Wei looked at the guy and asked again.

"My name is Reed Gordon, Louis is my dad, and this used to be my home." The thin blonde boy replied.
