Chapter 206: Suicide Suspicions
There is calm in case of trouble.
This kind of realm has always been what he is after.
York didn't know if he had reached it or not.
Hearing Gabriel's response, York hung up, and he became unusually calm.
"Is Ernst dead?"
York put away his phone and walked slowly towards his personal lounge.
As a priest, of course, he also entered the Shinto monastery like Archipad before, and then interned and became a priest.
Since Shinto is similar to a school, it is natural that there is also a contemporary, that is, it is analogous to the classmates in the school.
During his student career at that time, he was a little unfamiliar and unfamiliar with this parallel world, so he was very low-key and alone, but he also had some dealings with Ernst, a good old man.
It's not as familiar as the bad friend in his previous life, so iron, but it's not so strange, and in general, it's the only good friend he has in his student career.
Step into the personal lounge.
Put everything that needs to be put away.
York came to the table, pulled out the boss's chair and sat down, sighed and whimically opened the drawer inside the table, revealing the layers of papers inside, one of which was lifelike.
This is a group photo of fourteen young people.
He, including Ernst, was all in it.
Due to their height, the two standing at the back are still very absorbent.
His face was calm, and there was no wave in his eyes, while Ernst next to him had a big grin.
"You ......"
Staring at Ernst with a bright smile, York's barely uttered a word, but he couldn't say anything.
It had come to this point that Ernst's death must have been confirmed.
"That's it, if there is really a problem, I will help you solve it, if you really just die in the hands of the demon, then I will also pull this demon up from hell to scrape the bones and cramps, and avenge you, which can be regarded as repaying the friendship you used to bring me food......"
After calmly saying this, York's heart became more and more calm, and he gently put down the photo, pushed the drawer forward and continued to seal the past, and then lay down on the boss's chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
He knew that the relevant documents would be sent today.
Time passes slowly in this situation, as if it were evening in the blink of an eye, so fast that people have no sense of actual experience.
During this time, Erin came to ask for advice, but he rushed home early.
The reason is very simple, before Erin learned to use a gun, as long as there was a supernatural event about demons, he would not take Erin into the battlefield early.
Demons, creatures that can't be killed, can only be driven back to hell, and are very vindictive, are too dangerous, unlike monsters who are really dead when they die.
At this time, Gabriel's urgent delivery of materials also arrived at the Pluto church.
"Thank you."
Nodding to the clergy in front of him, Yorks took the sealed document bag in his hand.
As always, the clergy, who was wearing only a dark robe without any embellishment, also nodded and turned away without saying a word, blending into the darkness.
York looked down at the sealed document bag in his hand and turned to enter the church as well.
It's that position again.
In the light of the candlelight, York made sure that the sealed document bag had not been opened, and then opened the document inside.
First up are a few photos.
Not Ernst, a stranger he didn't know.
A girl.
His face was haggard and thin, as if he hadn't eaten for some time.
"It looks like this is the victim."
Yorkes took a few looks, then put the pictures of the victims in the empty space next to them.
The girl's face was not the most important thing, after all, she was no different from previous victims.
The most important thing is the relevant report and the circumstances of Ernst's death.
It's just that when York looked at the documents inside, his eyebrows and eyes slowly began to twist and condense into a pimple.
Because in his opinion, the events that Ernst encountered this time were all remarkable.
Bump into the victim.
Confirm whether the victim is physically handicapped and mentally ill.
Ernst did both of these things very well.
Detailed inspection information is available.
It's just that from the very beginning, the victim named Emily was good and bad, and the time span was too long, and the problems began to appear when she was a child, and only now have they become more serious, which does not meet the definition of possession like the church.
The reason for this is that this time span is seven or eight years.
So York wasn't too surprised to see Gabriel reject Ernst's request for an exorcism.
Because of past history, such as the so-called judgments, the Church has had stricter requirements for exorcism or certain supernatural cases of possession.
Not everyone can afford the consequences like him, and they can accurately discern whether this is a supernatural case or not.
If the priest does not have the bishop's approval, then all the consequences are his own responsibility, which means that the church is no longer his backing when he exorcises demons privately.
"So how are you so sure that the victim is demonically possessed and attacked by the forces of darkness?"
Remembering Ernst, Yorks sighed and continued to flip through.
Eventually, his gaze rested on a brand new document.
Inside is the victim's behavior and spirit, including the hospital's test report, as well as Ernst's judgment.
The behaviors are: strange movements, immense strength, devouring spiders, rats, feces and urine, etc.
Psychiatric testing is when the victim knows that he or she has a problem and does not meet the definition of mental illness, so the victim has no mental problems.
The hospital is: no obvious cause has been detected physically, but epilepsy is suspected.
"Combined, it's a strong proof, and then you're in trouble at this juncture?"
York's face was calm, and he turned to the process of what the monk of Ernst had written.
On the same day, while Ernst was preparing the documents, he received a call from the victim's parents and learned that the victim's condition had suddenly worsened, accompanied by a strange howl, and hurried over.
The end result is:
Ernst began exorcism without getting an application, and after some effort to successfully exorcise the demon, the victim returned to normal and even turned ruddy.
If all this stops here, it will be a happy ending, and everyone will be happy.
However, on the morning of the second day of the exorcism, Ernst's deacon monk found Ernst hanging himself in the church.
"Hanging yourself?"
York found out why Gabriel would feel something was wrong inside.
As in the Monastery of Santa Cata, suicide is absolutely not allowed in the Church, and it is original sin to violate the faith.
"If you are pious, you will definitely not commit suicide for no reason and cut off the road to heaven."
York finally took out the last photograph of Ernst hanging himself with red and swollen eyes facing the statue of Jesus.
"So why the hell did you kill yourself?"
