"We're terrified, we don't know what's going on, we don't know what to do, can you help us?"

"Yes, we can help you. First of all, the ghost of a little girl named Annabelle does not exist at all, never exists.

Ghosts don't have that much power, and I think we're dealing with something quite manipulative, quite murderous.

Your perception of this doll is outrageously wrong, and it seems that this demonic spirit has played tricks on you, and you have allowed it to intrude on your life. ”

"What is this spirit?"

"They are inhuman beings, a very evil thing. ”

"So the doll was never possessed?"

"No, no, this doll is just a conduit, a medium, for this spirit to exert its power. The doll is being moved around by this spirit, giving the impression that it is possessed. This spirit does not possess objects, but only humans, and it wants to take over your body. ”

“......”

The projector turns, and the scene switches from a silent interlocutor to a doll. The doll is full of makeup, but it is very shabby, revealing a strange and decadent atmosphere, with round eyes and an exaggerated smile, which not only looks not only uncute, but also has a fierce and cruel feeling.

"It's okay, it's good, Drew, it's okay to turn it off. ”

There was a click, and in the audience, a young man turned off the projector, and the picture on the curtain of the lecture platform disappeared. The only source of light vanished, and the entire staircase screening room went dark again.

"Turn on the lights. ”

The same voice rang out from the podium again.

The lights in the screening room were turned on, revealing a man and a woman on the podium, a man and a woman in the audience, and a small flyer in the possession of almost every one of them. On the flyer, the words "Supernatural Explorer" are particularly eye-catching.

So we sent a pastor to pray for the house and its occupants, and the things that plagued the apartment never showed up again. Is there any problem?" said the man on stage.

The audience immediately raised their hands.

"You say. ”

The man casually pointed to a girl in the audience.

"Where is the doll now?"

"In a safe place. The woman on the stage replied.

After answering, the audience raised their hands again, and the man casually pointed to another boy.

"Here you come. ”

"And who are you? I mean, what do you call you?"

The two on stage looked at each other, and the man moved closer to the microphone.

"Well, some people call us 'ghost theologians', but I don't know this one, 'ghost hunters', 'supernatural researchers'......"

"Weirdos. ”

The woman interjected a self-deprecating sentence, and the audience immediately burst into laughter.

"Maniac. The man added with a smile.

"But I want people to call us 'Ed and Rowling, Mr. and Mrs. Warren'. "The woman is colorful.

The audience raised their hands, and the man pointed to one casually.

"So, will you personally go into battle to preside over a similar exorcism ritual?"

"No, I'm not authorized yet, but I've helped a lot. The man's face was serious, "You know, exorcism is quite dangerous, not only for the victim, but also for everyone on the scene. ”

After speaking, he reflexively put away the curtain, revealing the blackboard behind him, and the three lines of large characters on the blackboard. Turning to face the audience, he pointed to the three lines from top to bottom.

"Fear is a mood swing about the unknown, or a feeling of anxiety caused by an intense crisis. Ghosts, as well as other evil spirits and entities, feed on fear. Let's take a look at the three stages of their activity, in order, appearance, harassment, and possession. ”

"Appearance, in general, is the sound of talking, footsteps, and the feeling of the presence of another person. This will soon develop into the second stage, harassment. Therefore, the victims are usually those who are more susceptible to external forces and have poor psychological tolerance. Frightened the victims, destroying their will, at their most vulnerable, it progresses to the final third stage, possession. Still have questions?"

Everything that should have been said was almost finished, and there were few raised hands in the audience. Ed glanced at a boy who looked like a half-breed.

"Please. ”

"I have two questions. ”

Ed smiled: "Yes, please speak." ”

"Have you ever encountered a real demon?"

"Well, no, the real demons are not something we can deal with. ”

"Okay, second question. Imagine an evil being powerful enough to skip the first stage and frighten people directly, and skip the third stage and kill people directly. Have you ever been in a situation like this?"

"Eh, has this friend watched too many horror movies?"

The audience burst into laughter.

"Jingle bell bell!"

The bell rings and the lecture ends.

It's a university, and when class ends, the students in the lecture hall pour into the hallway like students in other classrooms to get to the next class. After packing up their lecture belongings, the Warrens walked out of the school building and walked to their car parked on the campus road.

Walking around a corner, the sedan was in sight. A teenager was standing by the car, meeting the eyes of the couple.

"Hey, what are you doing there?" Ed quickened his pace and approached to see the young man's face, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't this our horror movie enthusiast?

As she spoke, Rowling hurried over, panting and looking at the boy with the same suspicious expression as Ed.

"Annabelle, where do you say it's in a safe place now, that safe place?"

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

Ed held out his hand.

"Hello, I don't know your name ...... yet"

"Yuan Yi. ”

The boy reached out and shook Ed's hand.

"Yuanyi?'s name...... Are you Chinese?"

"Does that have anything to do with the question I asked?"

The couple smiled awkwardly, this is just an ordinary greeting, how can this teenager be so easy to get on the line?

Rowling stepped forward.

"I heard that there are no fewer similar evil incidents on the Huaguo side than on our side, you should not be surprised, why are you still so concerned about such incidents here?"

It was just a casual question she made up, and she didn't care how the teenager answered. However, Yuan Yi, who is not very aware of human feelings, is not aware of this.

"So that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth. There is a long history and many gods in China, and sealing the old existence in the past will cause too many obstacles to my work of contacting the essence of the world. But this is different, in this continent, the old gods have been swept away, and the later gods have been based here for a short time and their strength is weak. Therefore, this is a wild place, the most primitive and authentic place. Here, I can get in touch with the deeper stuff of this world. That's why I'm here, and that's why I found you. ”

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, the couple was already laughing from ear to ear, shaking their heads again and again, looking at him like fools.

After laughing for a while, Ed stretched out his hand and put it on Yuan Yi's shoulder, with a serious expression.

"Child, we understand you, we used to be your age, and we love to fantasize. However, fantasy also has to be right-turned. In our world, evil forces are real. You pay attention to it, and it will follow you. This aspect of the thing, not the game. Kid, if you just want to visit, I'm welcome, but you say 'contact', then I'm sorry, I have to tell you just a little bit. ”

Yuan Yi frowned: "I know that the evil force is real, and I am not playing with the family." I know that your power is limited and you don't know much about the forces of evil, which is why I want to go directly to Annabelle......"

"That's enough!" Ed shouted angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about? we can tolerate your doubts about our two professions, but I really can't stand it, you are irresponsible to yourself!"

"Son, do you know what a foolish thing it is to 'go to Annabelle', which will bring disaster not only to you, but also to your family!"

On the side, Rowling was also persuading hard.

It's just that their warnings and exhortations don't seem to scare off the boy in front of them as they expected.

After the two finished speaking fiercely, Yuan Yi's face was still calm.

"My father once said that sometimes, actions are more powerful than words, and now I think it makes a lot of sense. ”

"What do you mean?" Rowling wondered.

Ed was even more vigilant, reaching out in front of Rowling, and pointing at Yuan Yi with the other hand.

"What are you going to do?"

In response to them, a white flame was born.

At this moment, the couple's eyes widened and their faces showed fear.

"Be careful!"

Holding Rowling in one hand, Ed stepped back again and again.

On the one hand, the couple retreated in panic, and on the other hand, Yuan Yi stepped forward slowly, and a ball of white flame was suspended between the two.

Passers-by were stunned and all stopped to watch, and many of them took out their smartphones to record the scene. In their phone screens, without exception, a teenager followed behind a volley of white flames. White Flame, on the other hand, flew aimlessly. After more than ten seconds, the flames disappeared, and the young man paced forward and began to talk to himself.

"Open your eyes, take a good look around, see what they're holding in their hands, do you know? I can tell you, it's a product of the twenty-first century. Ed, Rowling, it's been almost fifty years since you were speaking around in the seventies. Don't sink into the illusions of the past anymore, wake up, you're dead!"
