Father Rodney did not go back directly, but used some of the remaining holy words and holy oil in their hands to make a few temporary altars from the small stones around them, and placed them on the shore of the lake according to certain rules, these operations took a lot of time, but also for safety.

Jimmy's words made Father Rodney understand that there was something in the lake, but it was not known if it was a ghost or some other unknown object, and in order to avoid accidents during their absence, they had to take precautions, not only for what they were going to do tomorrow, but also for the safety of others.

When everything was taken care of, Jimmy and the others left the lake, leaving the ghost lake with Nia and a few other police detectives.

Nia and Superintendent Potter had been far away from the lake when it began to appear abnormal in the evening, so they watched them from afar, until the end of the day, for several hours, their curiosity had broken through the sky, the people of the church exorcism was still within the scope of understanding, Jimmy's continuous gunshots were very harsh, if this was not a remote place, someone would have called the police a long time ago.

The point is that they knew that Jimmy didn't have a rifle, only a Glock and two revolvers, but his rate of fire was close to that of a semi-automatic pistol, and the intermittent time between shots was so short that it was impossible to imagine how he changed his bullets.

Nia was in a car with Jimmy, and she also curiously asked about their exorcism, after all, it was night, and the little light from the headlights and flashlights was not enough for them to see the specific process in the back, and Jimmy didn't hide too much, the main credit was Father Rodney and them, the focus was on the altar of confinement in the back, which was the first time Jimmy had seen it.

In fact, Jimmy has participated in several exorcism rituals in the church before, only once he has seen him perform a ritual preparation similar to a formation at Father Houghton in Dallas, and the next few times are basically personal power display and recitation of holy words, using the power of holy light to strengthen or destroy evil spirits, this time they not only used the altar, but also the improvised altar, this strange exorcism method is more visually impactful than what he wants to come with two shots.

In the end, the formations they arranged similar to protective enchantments were also eye-catching, but through these priests, Jimmy could probably see that Father Rodney and Father Bennett were exorcism priests similar to combat experts, while Antonio was similar to mages, using more patterns such as formations to limit and purify evil spirits, and compared to them, Father Horton who had seen him in Dallas should be the same as Antonio.

Back at the hotel, Jimmy looked at the time, asked Nia to take a shower first, he called Ruiz to ask for leave, although the main force of this incident was Father Rodney, but after all, they came to help themselves and Nia, and they couldn't go back to work in New York before the matter was resolved.

This weekend was too exciting, first to track down Roland's whereabouts, and then to find Nia, encountering this kind of, I don't know when it will end, he can only ask for leave now, fortunately, the reason is relatively sufficient, Nia has an accident Jimmy came to Rhode Island to do business, and there is a reason.

Of course, it is indispensable to call Mark and say that these two guys who are upside down, their boss is always out of the office for some reason, and they have just been stocked when they join the company.

The next day, Jimmy and the others came to the church again, Father Rodney and they were already preparing today's ritual props, because to carry out the purification ceremony of a small lake more than 100 meters, the amount of holy light energy required is huge, in fact, they discussed this issue yesterday afternoon while waiting, but at that time, because the cost was too great, everyone still vetoed the plan.

The reason why both the Altar of Confinement and the Altar of Protection need to be prepared temporarily, is because they have no idea what form the resentful spirits in the lake will attack them, and preparing the Confinement Altar in advance may cause energy loss and waste of materials, knowing that the materials on their exorcist priests are not those stalls, but also very precious.

This time there were not so many people on the police side, only Superintendent Potter came alone, and the other two officers went back to continue their duties. Jimmy pulled Superintendent Potter to the side, originally to persuade him not to go over, so as not to cause any problems, after all, he had to face a resentful spirit, not an ordinary criminal, Superintendent Potter also had enough reasons, Father Rodney They did the exorcism ritual after all, after all, there must be a local as a witness, otherwise there will be no way to explain this matter later.

This reason is reasonable, Jimmy didn't insist anymore, and agreed to follow him, but it was still the same as last night, waiting with Nia a hundred meters away, and it was up to them to see as much as they could.

Coming to the lake again, Nia and Superintendent Potter left them in the distance, and Jimmy accompanied Father Rodney as they began the preparations for the purification ceremony.

Antonio opened his chest and took out a wooden cross, all four of which were covered with metal, the color should be gold or gold-plated, a little dull, and the texture of the wood looked a little old.

He picked out a stone again, carved the cross into it, embedded it in the top of the stone, and then began to carve patterns and words around the cross, not English letters, which Jimmy did not recognize, but similar to the words used by Father Houghton of Dallas when he laid them out by the river.

The carved formations are still filled with holy oil and holy salt, and this altar has been made for the longest time.

The other priests then brought several more stone slabs from the surrounding area, painted them with simple patterns, placed white candles, and placed them around the altar made by Father Antonio.

The altar was ready, the crowd began to wait by the lake, and near noon, Father Antonio took a rag from the box and wrapped it around the wrist of his left hand, holding in his left hand a silver bowl with holy water poured into it, and in his right hand a silver necklace with a silver cross on it, none of which looked like they were new, either antiquities or those he had been using for a long time.

Coming to the altar he had made earlier, Antonio glanced at the other priests who stood around the altar, and then began to chant the Purifying Word, "Holy light, come down to this land, burn away evil with holy fire, purify this cursed land with divine light, and dispel all evil forces." ”

As Antonio shouted the holy word, the priests around him lit the white candles placed around, and even at the height of the noon sun, Jimmy could still see the altar they made lit up with white light, and the dots of energy began to converge in the air, and merged into the silver bowl in Antonio's hand, and the holy water that had been poured into it began to glow.

Soon the prayer was over, and Antonio walked to the lake, poured the holy water from his bowl into the lake, and a light invisible to the naked eye stretched on the surface of the lake, and soon the water fluctuated again.

This time the water fluctuated more violently than when the female ghost appeared last night, as if something was about to rush out. Instead of retreating, Antonio took a step forward and stood in the lake, kneeling on one knee and placing the rags on his left hand and wrist in the water.

There was indeed a ghost emerging from the lake, very large, far more powerful than yesterday's female ghost, and more condensed. Antonio was alone in the water, everyone else was on the shore, the ghost flew towards Antonio, Jimmy didn't wait, "Bang! Bang! Two shots in a row hit the largest white spot in the ghost's body, and the ghost rushed a short section after being shot and suddenly exploded.

Jimmy was still surprised, could such a big ghost be so weak? Before his surprised expression was over, the exploding ghost fragments suddenly changed, and these fragments turned into smaller ghosts, charging at Antonio again.

"Bang! Bang! ...... "I see, this guy will split, Jimmy aimed at the split little ghost again, and shot at the split little ghost, and the left and right hand revolvers all hit and finally eliminated this round of little ghosts.

He tugged at his crossbody bag, which he had bought specifically to load the bullets, and in addition to the four moon clips that had already been loaded, there were dozens of scattered bullets.

Replenishing the magazine with scattered bullets, the ghost fragments in the air coalesced again into several small ghosts, this time their target switched and flew in the direction of Jimmy.

This kind of ghost that basically only shifts a little in the air is a live target, Jimmy's left and right hands two revolches fired again, and scattered them again before they got close to Jimmy, this time he could only use the moon clip to supplement, the distance was too close, and the ghost's recovery speed was also very fast, just because there were more and more fragments, and the size of the ghost was getting smaller and smaller, and the number was increasing, so there would be a problem.

Jimmy's side didn't care if there would be any more problems in the future, there were too many ghosts, and this time he completely let go.

"Bang bang ......" gunshots are endless, Jimmy hit the revolver with a fully automatic rate of fire, and immediately after the shooting is completed, he used the last two months clip to reload, and continued to shoot at the ghosts in the air, the gunshots were almost uninterrupted, because the ghosts were flying in the air, Jimmy didn't even have to consider the possibility of accidentally injuring the priests around him, he rarely had such exciting moments.

Withdraw the bullet, retract the left-handed revolver, take a handful of bullets from the bullet bag and replenish the right-handed revolver, this time it is a one-handed continuous shooting, because the ghost shattering is not at the same time, and the generation of new little ghosts also has a sequence, just enough to allow Jimmy to replenish the bullet at the frequency of the target, shoot, replenish the bullet, shoot at such a frequency, his action scared the priest next to him who could not participate in the war.

Who has ever seen someone who shoots a semi-automatic pistol rate of fire with a revolver? Jimmy's reload technique and frequency were more than they had imagined, and they never thought that someone could empty the revolver in more than a second, and then reload and continue to shoot in another second.

Fortunately, 1875 was strong enough, and there were only a few dozen loose bullets in Jimmy's bullet bag, and the continuous shooting quickly bottomed out in just two or three minutes, but fortunately, the split body of the ghost behind it seemed to have reached its limit, and the ghost body the size of a basketball did not split into smaller and more parts, and the recovery speed was also reduced, and even a few ghosts were dispersed directly after being scattered.

This allowed Jimmy to slow down the frequency of his own shots, and the recoil of the continuous shots put a lot of pressure on his right hand and right arm, and even reduced accuracy in the back.

Finally, with his left hand in the bullet pouch, there were no more bullets in it, and Jimmy rolled on the ground, dodging one of the ghosts that rushed towards him, "I'm out of bullets." ”

The number of ghosts flying in the air is not much, there are only five little ghosts, they do not land, but keep rushing towards Jimmy in the air, Jimmy just dodges left and right, and when he can't dodge, he uses 1875 in his right hand to smash directly at the ghosts, and he can also smash them open.

Father Rodney was stunned by Jimmy, and only then did he react when he saw him dodging left and right now, several people rushed over, raised their respective weapons and exorcism badges, and scattered the remaining few little ghosts in the air and disappeared in three or five clicks, Jimmy was completely liberated, he looked up and down, left and right, and made sure that there were no other ghosts, so he put 1875 back in the holster.

Who would have thought that three boxes of .44 Magnum bullets would run out of combat power in one go, Jimmy had never used so many bullets before.

He held his right arm with his left hand and rubbed the arm muscles fiercely, this time it was really a little hurt, his right arm was now very sore, and his wrist was also crushed by the recoil.

Antonio was still in the lake, and after the priests had dispelled the last few ghosts, they also came to the altar behind Antonio, and they all opened their mouths to chant holy words and hymns, and the faint light on the surface of the lake flickered, and after a long time, Antonio finally stood up, and he untied the rag on his wrist, which looked to have been soaked in something, it used to be the earthy yellow of linen, and now it has turned a faint black, which does not look good.

Antonio placed the rag on the altar, took a bottle of holy water from the side and poured it on it, a white flame rose, and the rag quickly burned out, which seemed a little abnormal, as if it were not holy water but gasoline.

Antonio began to retrieve the cross from the stone altar while saying to the others, "It's over. ”

Jimmy rubbed his right arm and walked over, "Father Antonio, is there anything else to do here?" ”

Antonio: "Not at the moment, the lake has been purified, and then it's a matter of finding an opportunity to clean up the bottom of the lake, and find out the ghosts' dwellings that may exist in it, don't worry for the time being, even if it's at the bottom of the lake, there won't be resentful spirits again." ”

Jimmy: "I see, thank you, you've done a great job. ”

Antonio: "I also want to thank you for destroying that wraith, I couldn't do anything but rely on the Holy Force. Well done, Jimmy. (End of chapter)
