The doctor here has done a comprehensive examination of Nia and them, and they still can't figure out the reason why they are unconscious, so the biggest possibility is that there is some supernatural event in the ghost lake, and it just happened that Nia and they ran into it, which can explain the doctor's scientific difficulty in distinguishing the reason.

There are a lot of paranormal events that can be handled, but to relieve Nia of their current state, the only person Jimmy can think of is the church.

He grabbed Nia's hand, reached out and touched her face, got up and said to Superintendent Potter, "I need a call, wait a minute." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the ward, looked left and right, there was no quiet place here, he took the elevator downstairs directly to the open space next to him, and dialed Father Rodney's phone.

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, I...... Need your help. ”

Rodney: "What's wrong?" Jimmy, what's going on? ”

Jimmy: "My wife, Nia, who fell into a coma while working on a case, and the doctor has done all the tests for them, and they can't find the cause of the coma, and there are two other detectives like her, who are here in Newport, Rhode Island, where the accident happened in a ghost lake. ”

Rodney: "You mean Ghost Lake?" Are you sure it's caused by ghosts? ”

Jimmy: "I don't know, I just arrived at the hospital and the doctors have nothing but to wait for them to wake up, but I'm worried that they are really unconscious because of ghosts, so they can't wait like this." ”

Rodney: "Let me think about it...... Did you arrive in Rhode Island today? ”

Jimmy: "Yes, the morning just arrived, and they fell into a coma yesterday afternoon, and it's been almost a day. Rodney, please help me, I really can't help it. ”

Rodney: "I don't know what happened to them, if it's really a ghost...... Let me reach out to the people near me. ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, Rodney, please arrange it as soon as possible." By the way, I gave Nya the ring you gave me before, and she was wearing it on her hand when she had an accident. ”

Rodney: "Are you sure?" Is there any damage to the ring? ”

Jimmy: "It doesn't look like much has changed for the time being. ”

Rodney: "I see, I'll arrange for someone to come over as soon as possible." That's it. ”

After Rodney finished speaking, he hung up the phone, looked up at the cross in front of him with a serious expression, drew a cross on his hand, and then took the phone and walked outside the church while looking for the number.

Jimmy is the focus of their attention now, and naturally Jimmy will be investigated, and his experience with Nia in the past few years and his analysis of him can be seen that Jimmy is completely different from other American young people, he cares about his family very much.

Now that his wife has such a thing, it must be the highest priority for him, Jimmy is also familiar with supernatural events, according to his description, there is a considerable probability that the thing that caused his wife to fall into a coma this time was caused by ghosts, and that place in Rhode Island is a traditional place with a high incidence of supernatural events, because it was one of the earliest colonies in England, and there were quite a lot of tragedies there back then, but in recent decades, there have been very few supernatural events, so there is not so much attention.

In addition, although Rhode Island is one of the traditional New England regions, the proportion of Protestants is not high, and nearly half of the population is Catholic, which has something to do with the original history.

Rodney made a phone call while driving, and the candidate was quickly identified.

Jimmy returned to the hospital room, and Superintendent Potter stayed with Jimmy for a while, and then offered to go back to the police station to take care of things and return soon.

Half an hour later, Jimmy received a phone call: "Jimmy, I'm Bennett of the church. ”

Jimmy: "Father Bennett, long time no see, are you back now?" ”

Bennett: "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better, Father Rodney has called me, where are you now?" ”

Jimmy: "Newport's hospital. ”

Bennett: "OK, I'll be over soon, I'll be living in Providence." ”

Jimmy: "Thank you, Father Bennett. ”

This time it was a real surprise, Jimmy had thought that Father Rodney would fly directly from New York, and he was ready to wait until the afternoon or evening for them to come, but he didn't expect that there were acquaintances in Rhode Island who could come nearby.

Bennett arrived at the hospital an hour later, and when Jimmy saw Bennett, he was surprised and said, "Father Bennett, it seems that you are recovering well." ”

Bennett was possessed before, and the muscle and fat on his body had been almost consumed, and his face had almost turned into a skeleton, and now he looked like a relatively thin middle-aged man, who had gotten rid of his previous miserable appearance. Father Bennett was wearing a priest's robe, so it was impossible to see if he had regained his figure, but his complexion was much better.

Bennett nodded to Jimmy, "Thanks, let's take a look at them first." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, please come with me. ”

Jimmy took Father Bennett to Nia's hospital room, and the other two were in the other rooms, but they were both unconscious.

Bennett came to Nia, reached out and rolled her eyelids, looked at her eyes, then opened his mouth and looked, but found nothing unusual, then he stood a little straighter, first took the Bible in his left hand, opened it with his right hand, reached out and took out a badge that Jimmy had not seen in his pocket, and began to pray when he was ready.

It only took a few minutes for Jimmy to notice a faint glow around Father Bennett. This speed seems to be very fast, but it is much slower than when Jimmy accompanied Father Rodney and them to exorcise demons, it seems that if it weren't for Father Bennett being much worse than Father Rodney, there is only one explanation, the damage caused to him by the last possession is not only physical, but perhaps also spiritual and faith.

Bennett held the badge in his right hand and gently pressed it on Nia's head, then continued to pray in this position, and soon stopped.

He put away his badge and turned to look at Jimmy with a frown, "I think you're right, but I can't wake her up just yet." ”

Jimmy also frowned: "What? Any questions? ”

Bennett nodded: "I think yes, she didn't become a vegetative person, and her soul is still there, but there seems to be something I don't understand that is suppressing her and making her unable to respond to us, maybe we need to go to the place where they had an accident." ”

Jimmy: "I haven't confirmed my location with the police here, I've been in the hospital since I came. ”

Bennett thought for a moment, "Let's go check it out, maybe there's something to discover." ”

Jimmy nodded, took out his phone and dialed the previous Superintendent Potter, who had left Jimmy's phone number when he left, otherwise he would have to go back to the police station to find him.

Thankfully, Superintendent Potter didn't back and soon arrived at the hospital, where Jimmy and Father Bennett followed him downstairs and drove him and another police car to where they had found Nia.

Ghost Lake is in a remote area northeast of Newport, which is relatively remote, next to a hill that is not high, and for the locals, there is no scenery here, so usually no one comes at all, and the only road is a hardened dirt road, which is not paved at all, and it looks like it has not been maintained for a long time, and many places have been eroded by rain to wash away the soil, revealing a lot of stones pressed under the road.

Superintendent Potter and two policemen stopped on the side of the road in front of them, and Jimmy and Father Bennett got out of the car, and Superintendent Porter pointed to the woods in front of him and said, "There's no way to drive ahead, let's walk over here." ”

A path passed through the woods, and soon a small lake appeared in front of them, the surface of this lake is no more than 200 meters, it still looks very clean, at least there is no garbage island composed of various industrial garbage plastic bags on the lake, there is basically no wind now, and the lake is very calm.

Superintendent Potter: "Over here, this is where the missing students set up their tents. Pointing to a piece of ground, he said, "This place has been cleared, and the tents and belongings have been recovered from the police station's evidence room." ”

Jimmy has been frequently switching back and forth between mental vision and normal vision since he got out of the car, because mental vision has no way to check evidence and check the ground traces, and can only be used to find some special things, so in the opinion of Superintendent Potter, Jimmy's reaction is somewhat delayed.

Jimmy didn't find anything dirty here, he looked at Father Bennett, the priest shook his head, and Jimmy looked at Superintendent Potter again, "Did the three students find any traces of them?" Or rather, corpses. ”

Superintendent Potter: "No, after our people found the tent here, they discussed it with Detective Yang and sent these things back in advance, and then it is not clear whether Detective Yang found them or not." They had been unconscious in a nearby coma. ”

Superintendent Potter took Jimmy and they walked along the lake for a few tens of meters, which was overgrown with weeds, and the tallest weed had reached the position of a person's chest, conservatively estimated to be more than 140 centimeters, and if someone was lying on the ground and blocked by weeds, no one could see it.

Soon they came to a patch of overwhelmed weeds, "This is where they were found, just a few meters from the surface of the lake." ”

Jimmy looked at Father Bennett, and the two nodded to each other, and began to inspect the scene, one left and one right, gradually expanding the area until they stopped at the lake.

However, perhaps it was noon, and the sun was shining strongly, and they found nothing special.

Jimmy returned to Superintendent Potter, "Superintendent Potter, can you tell me about the legend of this lake?" ”

Superintendent Potter nodded: "When I went back, I specially asked someone to check, and I also found two old men to check the original story." Before the 40s and 50s, there didn't seem to be such legends here, and the rest of the story began at that time.

There was a couple who had been conscripted into the army and had only returned after a few years in Europe, and his lover thought he had died in battle and had since married someone else.

After the man came back, they met again, and there was some reasonable bloody plot, but they were discovered by the woman's husband, who shot the man and threw him into the lake while they were dating here, and the wife was supposed to leave with her husband's threat, but she took the opportunity to knock her husband unconscious, and came to the lake and committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

Later, when the husband woke up, he found out about the tragedy, he jumped into the lake and took his wife to the lake, and in his grief and anger, he committed suicide by holding his wife's body here.

Since then, rumors have been circulating here that people have seen ghosts, and some say that two ghosts have been encountered here, trying to lure them into the water on the surface and at the lake, but no one has evidence of this.

According to rumors, the time when the ghost appears is generally in the evening and at night, the ghost is suspended on the water in white, and when there is moonlight, she can still be seen emitting blue light spots, but many people have come to look for it, and even squatted here according to the legendary time, but never found it, and then it is gone, and no one has come to look for the ghost here in recent decades. ”

Jimmy: "Is this story true?" ”

Superintendent Potter: "The legend is like this, the two old people I asked also said that they had such rumors when they were children, but I haven't found the relevant personnel information from the police department information, there were too many materials in the past, and there were many lost and damaged, and it is difficult to find all the information."

There used to be a few farms in the vicinity of this area a few decades ago, but they have gradually been abandoned, and no one has come here anymore, it is too remote. ”

Jimmy looked at Father Bennett, "Father, do you notice anything unusual?" ”

Bennett shook his head: "I didn't find out, I think maybe the timing was wrong." ”

Jimmy: "So, what are we going to do now?" ”

Bennett thought for a moment and said, "Let's move Mrs. Young and them to the church first, Father Rodney should be there in the afternoon." ”

Jimmy: "Will Father Rodney be coming, too?" ”

Bennett: "yes, I guess maybe it's a little more convenient in church. Let's go back first, I need to contact the priest of St. Mary's Cathedral to arrange it. ”

Jimmy nodded, spoke to Superintendent Potter, and the group followed the same path back, and when they returned to the vicinity of the three students' tents, Jimmy suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the lake, "Wait, be careful." ”

Jimmy's weird sixth sense reappeared, someone was staring at him, there was danger, and every time that feeling appeared, it was either a paranormal situation or someone was attacking, and it wasn't a good thing anyway.

Jimmy reached out and pulled out two handfuls of 1875, his hands lowered ready to shoot at any moment, his mind and eyes turned on, staring at the lake, but he saw nothing, the lake was like a mirror, nothing. "Superintendent Potter, stand back."

The lake and the ground are connected entities, and the mind cannot see through the contents of these entities.

Father Bennett took a cross from his robe and whispered something out of his mouth, but waited for several minutes without any abnormality. (End of chapter)
