Father Rodney's actions startled Jimmy and the others, in fact, Jimmy only used his mind-eye vision to find abnormal energy fluctuations on these two things when he picked them up, as if there was a circle of energy around them, and he didn't feel the danger, so he took it in his hand and called Father Rodney over.

Unexpectedly, he just took it in his hand and immediately shouted, and put two small bags on the table, as if this thing was dangerous, which was completely different from what Jimmy thought.

Jimmy: "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Father Rodney stared at the necklace and ring, "There's something wrong with these two pieces of jewelry, they have a very strong resentful power on them. ”

Jimmy frowned, "Does it affect people?" I didn't feel anything when I held it just now. He looked at Nia, "Nia, how did you feel when you got these two pieces of jewelry?" ”

Nia shook her head: "No, we found them by the lake, and after we got them, they put them in the evidence bag, and no one else should have touched them." ”

Fr. Rodney: "It doesn't have to be an immediate effect, but it doesn't have to be over time, and the energy on them seems to be sufficient, and it can't be a long-term escape from the spirits." Bennett, do you find anything else by the lake? ”

Father Bennett, who was on the side, said: "We were attacked once by the spirits in the lake, but we repelled it once and then did not do it again, and we saw nothing else near the lake. ”

Fr. Rodney: "Do you know what's in there?" ”

Fr. Bennett: "I'm not sure yet, but the legend given by the police is that three people died decades ago, a husband and wife and a friend of the wife. ”

Rodney: "Such a strong energy, but these three people shouldn't be like this, there must be something we don't know." Jimmy, why are you here? Is it to investigate the so-called ghost lake? ”

Jimmy looked at Nia, who said, "We are here to investigate the case of the disappearance of three college students, according to the clues provided by the people at the hotel, they should have gone to investigate the legend of the ghost lake, and we also found their personal belongings and tents, they should have disappeared by the lake." ”

Rodney: "It's very dangerous, and I think your investigation may have to be suspended." ”

Nia: "We've got a lot of clues pointing there, can't you solve the problem there?" ”

Rodney shook his head and said nothing, Jimmy reached out to interrupt Nia's words, he looked at Superintendent Potter standing next to him, then turned to Nia and whispered, "The spirits there look very powerful, and they are still in the lake, so it should be difficult to destroy them." ”

Nia: "But now that we're pretty close to confirming the death of the three men, at least we should have some definite news......"

Father Rodney turned and walked to the altar, clasped her hands and began to pray, and Nja also stopped, she reached out and took Jimmy's hand and said, "Sorry, I was a little excited. ”

Jimmy clapped her hands, and also looked at Father Rodney, this kind of known resentful spirit, I don't know how the church generally deals with it, whether to leave it alone or take action to destroy or seal, Jimmy has seen Father Rodney before, they are generally already fighting to expel and destroy evil spirits, and they have not understood the preliminary investigation and preparations, and no one knows what their decision is.

Father Rodney's prayer wasn't long, and when he was done, he turned to look at Jimmy and Nia, "Let's go and have a look tomorrow, and we can rest today." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, thank you, Father Rodney. ”

It can be seen that Father Rodney is really unwilling to do this, he can promise to go and see it tomorrow, maybe it is still for the sake of Jimmy's face, as for Jimmy's conjecture that the church will choose to destroy or seal this known evil spirit, it seems that he thinks too much, and more people in the church are better than less.

Nia and the other two detectives went back to the hospital, and although they were awake, they still needed a full examination to determine if there were any other problems, while Jimmy found a nearby hotel to book a room, then asked the front desk of the hotel, and found a gun shop next to it to buy three boxes of .44 Magnum bullets to spare.

This time he went out to find Roland, not to solve the case, so he only had weapons and bullets with him, and did not carry his bullet bag, in order to facilitate him he also bought four moon clips, and when he returned to the hotel, he opened a box of bullets to fill the moon clips with bullets first, and then replenished the spare bullet position on the holster, which was finally considered to be completed preparations.

Normally, Jimmy doesn't use many bullets in a battle, but he was impressed by the water ball yesterday, which is not the main body of the wraith, but one of its means of attack, and if he still shoots the water ball in the same way as yesterday, his bullet consumption will be very large.

The next morning, Jimmy and Nia returned to St. Mary's Church, where Father Rodney and Father Bennett were already praying, and Jimmy did not disturb them, but sat on a pews and waited.

Soon their prayers were over, and Father Rodney packed up a few boxes with the other priests, and then went out with Jimmy and the others to Ghost Lake, accompanied by Superintendent Potter and the two policemen from yesterday.

For others, the priest's exorcism may be just a legend, and they haven't seen it, but the three of them are different, yesterday I saw Father Bennett break through the water balloon that came out of the lake, this was not watching a movie, and the water droplets also hit them when the water balloon exploded.

Now the priests want to clean up the ghosts in the ghost lake, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they must be involved, even if it is just from a distance to watch is a very big talk for them in the future, and the opportunity must not be missed.

Several cars were still far away, and the path ahead was no longer passable, and Father Rodney walked in front with several priests carrying boxes, Jimmy and Nia and two NYPD detectives behind them, Superintendent Potter and two police officers at the end.

As he approached the lake, Father Rodney paused and looked at the people behind him, "Okay, everyone, except for Nia Young, who needs to help us show us the location, please stay away from the lake and help cordon off the citizens to prevent them from approaching here." ”

Superintendent Potter obviously wanted to take a look, and he stepped forward to Rodney's side: "Father, I think I'd better stay here, I need to know about the situation here, and I need to report what happened here." ”

Father Rodney shook his head, "I'm sorry, it can be dangerous here, you can stay away and watch, but you can't stay here, we may not be able to protect you." Thank you for your cooperation. ”

Superintendent Potter was a little confused, but finally nodded, and he beckoned the others to turn away, stopping a few dozen meters away from Rodney and them.

Fr. Rodney confirmed that everyone else was gone, and only Jimmy and Nyoa were with them, so he turned and walked to the lake, "Nia, where did you find the necklace and ring?" Help me determine the location. ”

Nia nodded, she came to the place where she had found the student's tent earlier, and then walked forward to the lake, stopping next to a stone that was half buried in the ground, "The necklace was found next to this stone, a small half of it was buried in the earth, and the ring I saw underneath when I took out the necklace." ”

Father Rodney crouched down and looked at the marks on the ground, "Alright, Nia, you also get out of here, stand with the people behind you, and try to stay away from here." ”

Nia looked at Jimmy, who nodded in agreement with Rodney before she turned to leave.

Rodney watched Nia leave a distance before opening the box in his hand, the box had a cross symbol on it, and it was something that he had taught himself, and took out the necklace and ring from it and put them on the stone, and then spoke, "This necklace and ring are definitely not the three missing students' belongings, but have something to do with the evil spirits in this lake, they should not have been directly exposed to the sun before, it may have been dug up by the three students, after they disappeared, Nia found them when she investigated here, Put it away on her, and then they were attacked by the spirits. ”

Jimmy: "Is there anything special about this necklace and ring?" ”

Rodney: "Well, it's possible that they're the objects that the Wraiths hold dear, or even where the Wraiths hide. Well, let's try it. Alert! ”

As Rodney took the necklace and ring out of the box, Jimmy could clearly feel that the temperature of the air seemed to decrease slightly, but it was not noticeable, and if he hadn't been paying attention to various anomalies since he came to the lake, he probably wouldn't have felt the difference.

He looked up at the lake, there was no wind today, the lake was very calm, nothing unusual happened, but he had seen it once yesterday, and it would definitely not be so quiet today.

Father Rodney waved his hand to the other priests, and everyone moved a little distance around their positions, and after waiting for everyone to take their seats, Father Rodney took out a large holy water bottle from the box, opened the cork, and poured the holy water on the necklace and ring, and there was a loud bang, followed by some smoke-like things floating from the necklace and ring, only slightly lighter in color, and it looked like gray and white.

The necklace and ring were purified by holy water, and the chain reaction was that the lake in front of them fluctuated again, and it was not far from them, and it seemed to be only a dozen meters away.

Soon a humanoid ghost emerged from the lake and slowly came to the surface of the lake, its feet not touching the surface of the lake, and just floated above the surface of the water towards Father Rodney and Jimmy.

It didn't seem to be doing anything special, but Father Rodney didn't want to let it go and communicate with it, the cross in his hand had been replaced by an exorcism badge, and when the ghost approached him, the whispered prayer in his mouth stopped, and he held the exorcism badge in his right hand and pressed it directly on the ghost.

The ghost has no physical body, and Father Rodney's hand directly fell into the ghost's body, but the holy light energy on the exorcism badge exploded directly in the ghost's body, which still made the ghost collapse instantly when he reached out and touched the necklace.

Jimmy looked at Father Rodney in surprise: "It's so simple? ”

Father Rodney said with a serious expression: "No, it's not right, this ghost is not our target, I made a big mistake, maybe I shouldn't have eliminated it." ”

As soon as the words fell, before Jimmy could ask the reason, the lake water fluctuated again, more violently than just now, and a huge mental pressure pressed on everyone, and several priests began to praise the Lord in unison, picking up their own exorcisms.

"No!" A large humanoid body of water rose from the lake, and it raised its arm to point to Father Rodney's position, and out of the bottom of the lake came several decaying corpses, and behind it were several skeletons covered with aquatic weeds and moss, which seemed to be left behind by the people who had died in the lake before.

When they saw them, Father Rodney and Jimmy immediately took a few steps back, and the movement of the corpse from the bottom of the lake to the shore suddenly changed from slow to swift, and they pounced directly on Father Rodney.

Father Rodney took back the badge in his hand, pulled out his short sword, used the Bible in his left hand as a shield, and waved the short sword in his right hand, and fought with the corpses, obviously these corpses were not strong, but the short sword was a small weapon after all, which could be scratched but not enough to be fatal, Father Rodney was still surrounded by them, but there was no danger for the time being.

Jimmy wasn't having any better, as he was standing with Father Rodney, and the corpses and skeletons that came out of the lake had apparently targeted him, and the skeletons behind him were running towards Jimmy, but they were slower to give Jimmy more time to prepare.

"Bang Bang ......" to deal with this kind of skeletons and corpses, Jimmy is also the first time, under the switch between mind-eye vision and normal vision, he identified the weakness of these corpses in a very short time, 1875 shot quickly, although it was a moving skeleton, Jimmy still most of the bullets successfully hit their joints, and scattered them to the ground before the skeletons were completely close, limiting their mobility.

The reason why it was not directly eliminated was because these skeletons did have a lot of white spots on their bodies, but they were very scattered, and they did not have an Achilles heel like the people Jimmy met before, which allowed him to aim and shoot, and now this kind of action plan that broke them up and restricted their movement, and then destroyed them little by little, was the most suitable combat plan he could think of in a short time.

The two 1875s were all empty, Jimmy opened the magazine and released the empty cartridge shells, took out two pre-loaded moon clips from his pocket to change the ammunition, and fired several shots at the skulls on the ground, completely ending their mobility until he could no longer see the weakness indicated by the white dots.
