Chapter 119: Meeting Lorraine Again
"I didn't expect to see you here."
Lorraine said with a delighted face.
"This is my husband, Ed Warren."
Then she turned to explain to her husband.
"This is the priest I told you about, who helped us at the exhibition."
Ed suddenly realized upon hearing this and hurried forward to shake William's hand.
"Thank you for saving Lorraine and Judy," he said sincerely.
William also responded with a smile.
These two in front of him were the leading figures in the American horror exorcism world; he finally met both of them this time.
"If it weren't for the amulet you gave last time, Judy would likely have been harmed by evil."
Lorraine recalled what happened at the exhibition.
"Later, I always wanted to thank you in person, but there was no one at your church."
"I happened to be away during this time," William replied.
"Mom!"
At this time, Judy also came out of the shop.
"Hey, where did you run off to? Your dad and I looked for you for a long time."
"I was in the shop opened by Father William just now!" Judy pointed behind her.
Surprise flashed in Lorraine's eyes: "Oh, I should have thought of that earlier."
"Just selling some worthless knick-knacks," William introduced to the two.
"Your business will definitely be very good." Lorraine smiled: "I've always let Judy carry that amulet with her."
Judy nodded vigorously and took out an amulet necklace from her chest.
Then she raised her head, seeming to say—Look! I have been taking good care of it!
Seeing this, Lorraine smiled and hugged her daughter.
But immediately after, she showed a hesitant look.
"Father, there is something I have always been curious about."
She probed.
"Have you cultivated Holy Power?"
William raised an eyebrow and nodded after a moment.
The other party was also an exorcist; it was not unusual to know about this.
After getting a definitive answer, Lorraine's eyes lit up, and then her heart was filled with yearning.
Although she was also an acting exorcist.
Regrettably, Lorraine had not cultivated Holy Power to this day.
When completing exorcism commissions, she still used purchased holy artifacts.
As well as Lorraine's unique ability—Yin-Yang Eyes (Spiritual Vision).
She once heard her grandmother mention that their lineage likely came from Saint Lucy.
The latter was a sage of "light" and "vision."
But due to the long time passed, this statement could not be verified.
Besides this, her husband Ed relied on some electronic equipment.
Facing some less threatening evil spirits, this method could still cope.
But once encountering a situation like the exhibition, the couple could only pray for the Lord's protection in their hearts.
And now evil spirit events were increasingly frequent, and the world was becoming more and more dangerous.
Therefore, Lorraine placed her hope on her daughter Judy.
She knew Judy also had a pair of eyes that could see spiritual bodies.
As long as her daughter cultivated Holy Power, she would definitely grow into a powerful exorcist in the future.
For this reason, Lorraine had been dedicated to managing Judy's theological studies.
Reciting prayers, explaining exorcism knowledge...
Although Judy was young, she had a lot of experience dealing with evil spirits and demons.
Even compared to some academy students, she was not inferior.
But unknown whether it was destiny, Judy also hadn't cultivated Holy Power.
However, Lorraine did not give up.
She changed her thinking and constantly improved her daughter's ability in "eyes."
In this way, even if Judy could only be an ordinary exorcist in the future, she would have the ability to protect herself.
And this time, the couple accepted the commission for this reason.
Through connections, they contacted a local parish bishop in Philadelphia.
The other party happened to have an evil spirit commission on hand, and the reward was a bottle of five-year vintage Holy Water!
If her daughter could use this holy artifact to cleanse her eyes, it would definitely take her "spiritual vision" a step further.
Maybe it would also increase the possibility of cultivating Holy Power!
But things were far from as simple as Lorraine thought.
The couple went to the address on the commission, but the situation there was very tricky.
Weird dolls, nun statues appearing from time to time...
For so many days, Lorraine had been living in fear.
And regarding the name of the evil spirit, they found nothing.
She only investigated that the evil spirit was likely related to Hell.
Besides this, the progress of the exorcism was almost completely stalled, while the agreed completion date was getting closer.
Lorraine had been worried about this and hadn't rested well for several days.
Meeting this priest again today gave birth to an idea in her heart.
"There is something I want to ask for your help with..."
Lorraine told the other party about the commission.
"Mom! I was just about to say that!"
Judy looked excited and told her mother that William hadn't had time to hang the "Commission Sign" yet.
Lorraine looked surprised upon hearing this.
Originally she was worried about being rejected, but now she was much more confident.
"Can I have the honor of being the first client of the shop?" Lorraine looked expectant.
William didn't rush to nod but said: "Did you bring the commission information?"
Although he was short of evil spirits and demons to redeem now.
Whether to act or not depended on the danger level of the commission.
"Of course!" Lorraine nodded immediately.
Although the other party didn't agree directly, this was already a good start.
"Can we go inside the shop..." She signaled to find a secluded place.
"Of course." William took the initiative to open the door for the family of three.
After the few entered, William glanced at the holy statue on the door frame.
Confirming that the Warren couple did not carry evil aura, he closed the door.
Inside the break room.
"This is the information about the commission."
Ed placed a file bag on the table, then took out many documents from inside.
William picked up one of them—
"The doll can be traced back to the Midwest in 1955. To commemorate their dead daughter, a doll maker made it.
But the couple tried to summon their daughter's spirit with it...
More than a decade later, the doll maker couple took in six orphans and a nun, but strange things began to happen in the house.
Notes like children's prattle, shaking stools...
Until one day, the killing began, and eventually only one girl survived. Twenty years later, that girl was also found dead..."
William flipped to the end and saw the name of the deceased written—Annabelle.
"Good lord! It's actually it!"
William raised an eyebrow.
This was a very famous wooden puppet evil spirit in the American horror world.
Together with "Billy" made by Mary Shaw, they could be called the dual heroes of the industry!
"Wonder how Mary Shaw and her Billy... are doing in Hell." William thought to himself.
Back to the topic.
If William remembered correctly, the content on this document should be the plot in the second movie "Creation."
It seems the Warren couple investigated very carefully.
William continued to flip down and saw a police report; the incident took place in Santa Monica, California.
The newspaper wrote that the possessed girl later joined a cult.
A few weeks ago, she suddenly returned home and killed her adoptive parents.
Then she broke into the neighbor's house and attacked the pregnant Mia with an accomplice.
And the latter was the actual client this time.
According to Mia, she was frightened that night.
Fortunately, the police arrived in time and shot the two intruders, and Mia finally saved the child.
She thought the matter was over.
But one day, Mia suddenly saw the doll her husband gave her at home...
William clicked his tongue.
After reading the content on the information, he discovered two things.
First, this Mia should be the heroine in the first movie of the original work.
According to the normal storyline, she shouldn't have contact with the Warren couple; it seems there are changes in this world.
Second.
Why hasn't this damn doll been thrown away yet!
