Jimmy's side eliminated a few skeletons in the back, and Rodney's side still hasn't been able to solve a few rotting corpses.

In fact, it is mainly a matter of weapons, Father Rodney's commonly used weapon is a short sword, for this kind of corpse, the damage caused by the short sword is indeed a bit insufficient, it is a bit too much to say that gua sha, but the wounds caused by continuous cutting are really not enough to incapacitate them, not to mention the mace, even a machete is a little better than his short sword.

The corpses that came out of the lake were indeed slow at first, but when they left the lake and began to rush towards Rodney and Jimmy, their speed suddenly became very fast, basically no different from ordinary people, this kind of mobility was not a big problem for Father Rodney, but he couldn't concentrate on one or two of them when he was besieged by several corpses.

Jimmy was not idle, he first replenished his 1875 with ammunition manually, then put away the revolver in his right hand, pulled out the dagger given by Father Rodney and rushed straight over.

1875 is very sturdy and durable, at least so far Jimmy has not seen anyone who can damage these two guns, including the previous fight against the possessed Bennett in a continuous block is no problem, so he now directly uses the gun as a short stick and a hammer, smashes his head and stabs the neck with a dagger, and cuts by the way, and easily destroys two of them in a set of combos, and the rest is also successfully overturned to the ground in the hands of Father Rodney, and he is quickly incapacitated.

Facts have proved that the effect of exorcism weapons is still very strong, this kind of corpse that is just driven can't resist the lethality of exorcism weapons at all, as for dealing with some corpses that have been temporarily given the ability to act, whether it is Jimmy or Rodney, there is no psychological pressure, they are not living people, and they will not feel too cruel if they cut off their heads and hands or something.

By the time Jimmy and Rodney had taken out the bodies, the other priests had already begun to read the Bible, remotely suppressing the body of water above the lake, but with very little effect because there was no way to get close.

This situation is the worst, Rodney They have a lot of people, but the other party is on the surface of the lake, and they have not come to the ground at all, although the distance is only about ten meters, but none of them can get close to the past to attack, except for Jimmy.

Jimmy raised his left hand and fired a shot at the heart of the water man, mainly to try the effect, and then found that the effect of his shooting was very poor, the water body was indeed hit, and shot through, but the weak white spot located in the heart position did not disappear, only slightly reduced, if he hadn't been staring at it, he wouldn't have found it.

1875 does have the attribute of breaking demons, which has been verified before, and now it has been confirmed that it can take effect, but the water man is close to three meters in height, and there are not many white spots on his body, if he shoots like this, the other party will definitely enter the lake to dodge after being shot a few times, and there is no way to completely kill him.

This body of water is too large, and the number of white spots on the body is a bit large, it seems that it is easier to shoot, but in fact it is more difficult to destroy it, because this body of water is alive, not a fixed target, and after a few shots, it will definitely escape, and may even re-dissolve into the lake water and integrate again, and then Jimmy's efforts will be completely in vain.

After firing a shot, Jimmy stopped, opened the magazine and replaced the cartridge case he had just shot, and Father Rodney tidied up, retracted his dagger, and picked up the exorcism badge again.

The water man on the lake raised his hands, made a few silent movements, and then sank into the lake, and the water surface returned to calm.

Jimmy held the revolver and watched left and right, and this moment of calm was the most uncomfortable, because he didn't know where the next attack would come from.

Father Rodney waited for a while, and it seemed that the contents of the lake should not come out for the time being, so he summoned the others to come over, and everyone gathered the corpses and skeletons on the ground, and performed a simple ritual around them, and at the same time took out the holy water from the box they had brought with them, mixed it with their own drinking water, and sprinkled it on the corpses to complete the purification of the corpses.

Corpses and skeletons, there are more than a dozen people, that is, there are at least a dozen people who died in this lake, and this is only a complete corpse and skeleton, and I don't know how many are under the lake.

Jimmy looked at these corpses and scratched his head a little, nine times out of ten, the people they were looking for were among these corpses that had not completely decomposed, but because of the battle just now, they had already suffered injuries such as amputated limbs and decapitations, and if the corpses were taken away to verify their identities, they would have changed from disappearance to murder, and the perpetrators of the murder turned out to be Father Rodney and Jimmy, a senior FBI agent...... I can't live this day.

Father Rodney watched Jimmy frown at the corpses, and probably thought of his thoughts, "These corpses need to be burned next to make sure that the power of the wraiths does not remain on them." ”

Jimmy: "Do you have to do this?" ”

Father Rodney nodded: "Yes, if there is any remnant of their power, it is completely impossible to predict what will happen in the future." ”

Jimmy thought for a moment and nodded, "You're the experts, you guys deal with it." ”

Father Rodney waved his hand to get Jimmy away a little, he whispered something to the others, and several people opened the box again, took out a few small boxes, sprinkled the liquid and some powder on the corpses, and then set the corpses on fire, it is not clear what they were using, the burning effect was very violent, the flame was bright and even white, this kind of violent burning was not something that gasoline and those fuels could do.

Nia and they are far away, but it is enough to see the battle just now, when they ordinary policemen saw the water people above the lake and the rotting corpses and skeletons coming out of the lake, the whole three views changed, and they were so shocked that they could only open their mouths in a daze, and when they saw them collecting corpses to purify and burn them, Nia remembered that there might be her target task here.

Nia raised her hand and shook it, "Jimmy, my target may be inside......" Before she finished speaking, Superintendent Potter in the back directly reached out to cover her mouth, "Don't interfere with them!" ”

Nia struggled for a moment and stopped, she nodded, Superintendent Potter let go of his hand, Superintendent Potter was older after all, although the things in front of him deeply stimulated his nerves, but he understood that what the people in front of him were doing was definitely very dangerous and important, in this case, no matter what happened, he could wait, he could give up, and he must not disturb them.

Nia was also young and impulsive, and struggled a little when her mouth was covered, but she quickly figured it out, gave up struggling, and just stood and continued to watch them deal with this supernatural incident.

Jimmy heard Nia's words, turned his head to look over and noticed Superintendent Potter's movements, and Nya quickly regained his composure, he nodded to Nia, shook his head again, continued to stare at the burning corpse in front of him, and by the way, he also turned his head to look at the lake, the guy's men in the lake have all been taken care of, what will it do next?

The corpse burned at a speed far beyond Jimmy's imagination, the church really had some good things in its hands, only ten minutes later, the flames gradually increased, the corpses and skeletons on the ground had been completely incinerated, the gray-red bones that had not yet been completely cooled down were staggered and overlapped, and the rotten flesh and residual clothes on the rotting corpse had been completely burned to ashes.

After waiting for a while, the gray-red cooling was over, and the gray-white bone residues were stacked together, Father Rodney picked up a small root from the side, knocked it gently, and stirred it again, the bones that were originally staggered and put together directly shattered into ashes, becoming a puddle of ashes, which was even more excessive than the incinerator in the crematorium, you must know that the incinerator is semi-sealed, and here it is completely open burning.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon, and Jimmy came to Rodney's side: "What about the ghosts in the lake?" If it doesn't come out, there's no way we can kill it. ”

Father Rodney nodded, "No way, there is too much water in the lake here, and we can't completely empty this place." Wait and see, it's noon, and the sun is at its strongest, so it shouldn't come out. ”

Jimmy: "So we're going back first?" Come back in the afternoon or evening? ”

Father Rodney shook his head, "Just wait around the corner." ”

Jimmy nodded, "I'll arrange it and let them go back and get something to eat." ”

Father Rodney and the others were still at the lake, but they stepped back a little and waited in the shade next to it, Jimmy walked over to Superintendent Potter and asked Superintendent Potter to help buy some food and water, they would need to wait here for a while.

Superintendent Potter wanted to ask about the previous situation, but Jimmy directly prevaricated, and then left here with two policemen.

Nia only came to Jimmy's side at this time, and Jimmy would definitely not tell her some of the previous details like she did to Superintendent Potter.

As for the person Nia wants to find, it is estimated that it has been burned to ashes, it is impossible to find it back, and the ashes that were burned cannot be verified by DNA, this disappearance case is already destined to become an unsolved case, but the personal belongings and tents they left behind before can be used as inferential evidence that they have died, so it can be regarded as barely closed.

Now that Nia's case is over, now only Father Rodney and them are left to deal with the resentful spirits in the lake, in fact, whether this matter should be dealt with depends on Rodney's opinion, even if they leave now, it is not a big problem, at most, Newport City is complaining to the church, protesting, and letting them lose some believers.

However, it was clear that Father Rodney had decided in the church to deal with the spirits here, and did not want to give up halfway, so at noon the group divided into two groups to eat something and rest in the shade of a nearby tree for the afternoon.

Jimmy had already told Superintendent Potter that there was nothing for them here, and they could go back, but the three policemen had no idea of leaving, they would rather stand farther away, and hope to be able to follow until the end, this kind of opportunity to join in the fun is too rare, and they may not be able to meet a few times in their lives, and Jimmy can't help it, he can't force them to be evicted, after all, this is not New York.

It wasn't until the evening when the sun was about to set and the lake moved again that Rodney and the others got up and stood still not far from the lake, waiting for the spirit to appear.

The sun completely set, the headlights of several cars were turned on to illuminate an area by the lake, and Superintendent Potter also prepared some flashlights and headlamps in advance, which still managed to prevent everyone from facing possible supernatural events in the dark.

However, there may be problems with these things, and Father Rodney and the others found some dead branches from the surrounding area and built a pyre after their afternoon rest, but they have not yet lit it.

Finally, a gust of wind blew, making people shiver, and the slight fluctuations in the lake before turned into violent fluctuations, and a woman in a skirt emerged from the lake and walked towards the lake step by step. Father Rodney and they stood in an arc, with Jimmy and Father Rodney in the middle, facing the woman with guns on guard.

"Give me back my necklace!"

When the woman came to the lake and was about to leave the lake, she stopped, and a shrill voice came, which was not at all the voice of a normal person, but it still allowed them to hear what the other person said.

Jimmy looked up and let the headlamp shine on the woman, her face was completely different from left to right, the left side still looked like a normal human face, and the right side was rotten, it looked very scary, just like her face, the right side of her body and clothes looked dirty and rotten, but the left side still retained the normal color of clothes, and the whole person seemed to be made up of two parts.

Father Rodney did not take the necklace and ring out of his pocket, he had purified them with holy water and put them away after the morning's battle.

The woman did not wait for the result she wanted, she suddenly opened her mouth, and a shrill sound came, most of the priests snorted, and two even reached out to cover their ears. Jimmy didn't cover his ears, but he was also uncomfortable, he frowned and opened his mouth, raised his right hand and fired a shot at the woman's gaping mouth, successfully stopping the woman's shouting.

The woman had multiple white spots on her body and head, and in Jimmy's mind, these were Jimmy's targets, but these white spots were quite large and numerous, and Jimmy was not sure to kill them quickly, so he fired a shot simply to stop the other party's screams.

The woman was shot in the mouth, and was directly shot through the mouth, bursting a hole from the back of her head, and also disintegrating some flesh, but it quickly recovered, and the hole disappeared.

The woman who had been shot inexplicably seemed to be enraged, she bent down slightly, and rushed over, but instead of running, she flew over in a standing position, and at the same time stretched out her hands and grabbed Jimmy.

Father Rodney, who was standing next to Jimmy, did not leave the woman to Jimmy to deal with, he took two steps sideways, raised the short sword and the Bible in his hand to block Jimmy, first blocked one of the woman's hands with the Bible, and the short sword stabbed forward, aiming at the woman's neck.

The woman didn't seem to be weak in fighting, and after being blocked by the Bible's arm, the whole person was hit a little off, her head shook, and she dodged the stab of the short sword, and her other hand also grabbed Father Rodney, and Jimmy also took advantage of the situation to retreat a little.
