Jimmy drove behind Father Rodney to a chapel. The church looked deserted, the white ash of the exterior walls had turned gray, and large sections of the walls were peeling off, revealing the masonry inside, and the grass outside the church was just as overgrown, but a little better than around the uninhabited and dilapidated houses, and even if they were all abandoned houses, it was the last to be abandoned.

Father Rodney got out of the car, Jimmy followed him, and the two came to the door, Father Rodney took out an old-fashioned key from his body and unlocked the door, which looked like it had fallen a lot of dust, and it seemed that the door lock was still open smoothly, and it looked like there was no rust inside.

After opening the door and entering the church, Jimmy found that the inside of the church was actually not bad, although there was a lot of dust, and the furnishings inside were relatively simple and old, but it was well organized, and there was no sense of chaos.

Fr. Rodney: "All right, Jimmy, we'll be here for the night today, and our guys will be here tomorrow." ”

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, what exactly is our mission here?" ”

Fr. Rodney: "I'll say that, but not now, now let's clean up the place where we rest at night." I had a lot of food and water in my car, but we also needed a place to sleep. ”

Jimmy was also helpless, when he was in the church before, Father Rodney didn't tell him what the incident was going to deal with this time, but it was clear that it must be related to the supernatural event, but Jimmy estimated that it was almost time, because they had obviously arrived at their destination.

And Rodney said that the companions will come over tomorrow, it seems that this mission will be very difficult, otherwise it is impossible to arrange so many people, and when Jimmy met Father Rodney before, they only dispatched three people.

After cleaning the lounge inside the church, Jimmy and Father Rodney sat on the benches in the lounge and turned on the food and water they had brought from the car, so that Father Rodney had time to explain the whole story to Jimmy.

Fr. Rodney: "Jimmy, do you remember the previous two missions?" We rearranged our staff to investigate the situation throughout the Chaos Gate Church, and although their guardian Moravan is based in New York, their lair is not actually in New York.

Based on the tracking of their followers, we found this place, this deserted town.

There was a garbage dump at the back of the town, where our men found an altar of some age, and it was evident that they had been developing believers here for a long time, but for some unknown reason, no one had ever known about their existence before. ”

Jimmy: "So what are we going to do this time?" Destroy the altar? ”

Fr. Rodney: "Yes, if you can't break the altars, at least seal them up." ”

Jimmy: "How many more people are coming to help?" ”

Fr. Rodney: "And four priests, from Connecticut and Massachusetts. Father Rodney sighed, "The number of our exorcist priests is still too small, there was no problem before, and the high-frequency outbreaks of supernatural events in recent years have caused us to lose a lot of people. ”

Jimmy: "Don't worry so much, didn't Father White at St. Andrew's Church say that your seminary has already started training new people?" There should be enough manpower soon, right? ”

Father Rodney shook his head: "Those newcomers are just replenishing the number, and there are not many experienced exorcist priests, especially since the recent outbreak of events seems to be getting more and more difficult, we really rarely encountered this kind of hard stubble in the past few years." ”

Jimmy: "Like the first two times?" ”

Father Rodney: "Yes, the reason why so many people were called over this time is that I am worried about the previous incident again, since there are already two invulnerable possessed demons, then there may not be such people again this time, I also hope that you can help, our people are not familiar with guns, you can injure them twice before, I hope this time can also be rewarded." ”

Jimmy was a little speechless, "Then you should have said it earlier, I didn't have a lot of ammunition prepared this time, only some spare bullets and a box of 25 rounds in the car." ”

Father Rodney was surprised and said, "Isn't that enough?" You didn't use it much before, did you? ”

Jimmy raised his hand and looked at his watch: "There should be enough time now, I'll go to Woodstock next door to see if there is a gun shop, I need to refill the bullets." Do you have anything I need to bring? I just bought it together. ”

Father Rodney shook his head: "I don't need those, I've already brought all my weapons." ”

Jimmy: "OK. ”

Jimmy took out his FBI mobile phone and recorded the GPS coordinates here, and it was most convenient to use the coordinates to record when he was away from home, especially in unfamiliar places, in order to avoid forgetting the way back after he went out.

Woodstock is not a big city, just a small town nearby that seems to be okay, there is certainly no shortage of gun shops in this kind of place, although the number of gun shops in the United States is not as many as convenience stores, but it is basically guaranteed that there are at least a few in each city to choose from.

Jimmy drove to Woodstock and found a large supermarket while looking for a gun shop, just in time to replenish his camping gear.

Father Rodney's car brought some food and water, but did not bring a sleeping bag, when they cleaned the church just now, they found that there was indeed a wooden bed inside, but there was no sleeping bag for sleeping, Jimmy really didn't want to sleep with clothes, and I didn't know what Father Rodney thought, he was going to sleep for a day without any preparation.

Actually, it wasn't that Father Rodney didn't want to prepare, but when he was on the way, he learned that several priests from other places had been delayed due to some things, and they could have gathered here today, but now they had to wait for the next day.

Jimmy returned to the church with a sleeping bag, camping lights, batteries, and food and water, and Father Rodney was also relieved, this time he was really not prepared, in fact, they would have started work directly today, but since he had already arrived here, he planned to go to the scene today to check, so he was not ready to go to a nearby city to find a hotel to stay, and now Jimmy brought back camping equipment just enough for them to stay here for a good night.

Father Rodney and Jimmy got ready, and they left the church together, heading to the garbage collection in the north of town.

It is said that it is a garbage recycling station, but in fact, it mainly recycles metals, old cars, old equipment and other things, and it is not the kind of domestic garbage recycling station where flies are flying all over the sky.

Jimmy and Father Rodney walked into the recycle bin, looked left and right, and asked, "Father Rodney, how did you find here?" How can you be sure this is their lair? ”

Fr. Rodney: "We have our own sources, and we have arranged for someone to search for the Chaos Gate Church's lair after we determined that it is nearby, but we didn't go through official channels.

A deacon from this town had come here to inspect the altar he had found, but he seemed to have received some kind of mental shock, and from time to time he would be mentally disturbed for a while, and after he returned to the church to restore his discovery, his mind was confused, and now he was recuperating in a monastery. ”

Jimmy: "And where is the altar you're talking about?" ”

Fr. Rodney: "That little house in front has a basement, right inside. It's not the big house, it's the tool room next to it. ”

Jimmy nodded, and the two of them went straight to the outside of the hut, and did not rush in, but checked outside first. The door of the hut was locked by a chain, and the lock hung on it looked new, and it had a cross sign, which looked like it should have been locked by the deacon who had come to investigate, and the average person would not have used such a lock.

Jimmy's mind is still flawed, because he can only see outlines, as long as they are connected, he can't distinguish whether those things are separate or whole, which also leads to many things he can't clearly know what they are, he can only tell that there is indeed a basement-like space under the cabin, but the surrounding walls are not flat, and there is not only a platform-like altar, there seems to be a statue.

Father Rodney took out a bottle of high-concentration holy water, prayed first and then applied it to his short sword and eyelids, these Jimmy had already inquired before, Father Rodney They can't directly see some invisible spirits, they need holy water as a support item, which is completely different from Jimmy.

The reason why Jimmy was favored by Father Rodney is that he can directly look at the resentful spirits is the biggest reliance, and this is also a point that Father Rodney and Father White regret very much, if Jimmy was discovered by them when he was a child, he would definitely become an excellent exorcist priest, and his ability is enough to crush many people.

They checked their surroundings outside and did not enter the hut because it was not clear what would be inside, and they did not intend to enter directly until the others arrived.

After checking to make sure that the surroundings were safe, the two went back to the church to rest, in the early hours of the morning, Jimmy was suddenly awakened, still having the same palpitations as before, but he looked around, and the church and the neighborhood did not find anything wrong.

Jimmy looked at the garbage dump and couldn't see anything because it was far away, but he was sure that something must have happened over there, so he felt that way.

Jimmy looked at Father Rodney, and he had no intention of waking up. He frowned and unzipped his sleeping bag and sat up, since he had this feeling of palpitations, something must have happened, he had experienced it many times before, and it was not a problem for him not to sleep all night, so he sat and waited for a night.

Early the next morning, Jimmy and Father Rodney had a cold breakfast and went outside the church to light a small bonfire, and soon two cars drove up, and four men dressed in black priesthood got out of the cars.

Rodney stepped forward to greet them, and introduced Jimmy by the way, of course, introducing his official status, saying that he was here to testify. Jimmy greeted the crowd, and the four of them entered the church to rest before getting ready to go.

Father Rodney's words are still very interesting, they don't intend to let Jimmy reveal his true abilities in front of more people, so just as a witness, it can be regarded as excluded from the action.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon, and Father Rodney and the others went to the front of the hut, took out a long key, unlocked the door, put away the chains, and did not throw them aside.

Father Rodney was chaining as a priest pushed the door open, and several people entered the cabin. This is the tool room, with a number of tools hanging on the walls on both sides, and their target is in the middle of the house, opening the sliding door on the ground and extending a staircase.

Several priests all took out their weapons, in addition to the short sword, there was also a priest holding a pointed axe, the axe part was a chopping axe blade in front, and a pointed head in the back, which looked very powerful, and there were various lines on the axe handle, Jimmy couldn't see what it was, but judging from the priest's action with the axe, he should be able to use this axe skillfully.

Jimmy also pulled out two 1875, he also had a cross-body backpack on his body, the bag hung on his chest, which was the spare bullet he had prepared, and the dagger that Father Rodney gave him before was hung on his belt, but he didn't bring the ring given by Father White, and he didn't know if there was a problem with the ring after thinking about it, so he left it in the box and stayed at home.

Father Rodney walked in the front with a flashlight, Jimmy walked in the back, and several people rushed into the basement. The basement was not small, thirty or forty square meters in size, and with the flashlight of several people, they found light bulbs on the wall, but it was deserted and there was no electricity.

In the innermost part of the basement there is a platform on which a life-size statue stands, with its hands clenched into fists and resting on its left and right chests, its head slightly raised and facing diagonally upwards.

The platform in front of the statue looked different colors, Jimmy leaned in and smelled a smell of corruption, it seemed that this was supposed to be the place where they did the blood sacrifice, which was supposed to be formed after the blood was left on the platform and dried up, but there was no body of the blood sacrifice left here.

On either side of the crypt are four one-kneeling statues, their hands folded on top of their knees, leaning over the middle altar.

Ever since entering the basement, Jimmy had a gloomy feeling that became clearer as he got closer to the statue.

Father Rodney and the others vigilantly checked the basement, which looked abnormal, but with the inspection of several people, nothing unusual happened, and the priests walked back to the staircase and said a few words, and finally prepared to leave the basement first, and then come and destroy the altar when they were ready.

Jimmy followed them away, watching Father Rodney re-chain the hut before the others left.

Jimmy pulled Father Rodney as they walked behind, "Father, what are you going to do here?" ”

Fr. Rodney: "Go back and prepare, we need to do an exorcism in the basement and break their statues. ”

Jimmy was surprised and asked, "That's it?" It's that simple? ”

Father Rodney nodded: "As long as the statue is broken and the source of the evil god's power is expelled, this place is over." ”

Father Rodney's expression was not relaxed, he had fought the people of the Chaos Gate twice in a row before, how could it be so simple. (End of chapter)
