Chapter 120: This is the Preparation Before Exorcism!
A creepy appearance, wandering around the house, and every owner could find something wrong.
At this time, one should resolutely throw the doll out.
Although some of them indeed did so.
But when the doll reappeared at home, they seemed to just accept it.
And the tragedy often started from this moment.
If it were William, he would definitely chop it into pieces with a knife, then throw them into different fires to burn into ashes, and bury them in different places separately.
No!
If it were William, he wouldn't approach that thing from the beginning.
Opposite him, Lorraine saw him frowning and thought William also found it tricky, so she said: "If... it's inconvenient for you, don't force yourself."
"Sorry, I just sympathize a little with these victims."
William responded casually.
"I accept this commission."
Lorraine smiled upon hearing this: "That's great."
She was excited inside; with the priest here, maybe they could find a way to deal with the evil spirit.
After finalizing the specific remuneration, William signed a contract with the Warren couple.
Then the group discussed some other information.
Lorraine mentioned that the client Mia had recently moved from California to an apartment in Philadelphia.
It wasn't far from Dei Church; they could go there now.
Dawn Apartment.
The group of four arrived downstairs.
Lorraine pointed to a household: "Mia lives on the top floor."
William looked up at the tenth floor and saw a thick haze shrouding it.
There were many evil spirits wandering in it, like an outpost of Hell in the human world.
At this time, Lorraine prepared to press the apartment doorbell.
But William reached out to stop her: "Search the surroundings first."
Lorraine was a little puzzled; no other abnormal events had been reported nearby.
But she still followed the advice.
The apartment Mia lived in was built by the roadside, so there were many shops along the street.
The group first circled around with the apartment as the center.
During this period, William indeed found something.
Televisions in shop windows, trash cans, trucks parked on the street...
These things were more or less tainted with evil aura.
"Has Mia ever encountered anomalies on the street, for example... a truck suddenly crashing towards her?" William looked at the Warren couple and asked.
The two nodded in surprise.
"Yesterday, the baby carriage Mia was pushing was accidentally hit by a truck. Fortunately, she had already taken the child out before that."
Mia only told the couple about this matter; how did the priest know?
"It seems Annabelle's range of action is further than imagined." William rubbed his chin, thinking.
After that, he took the Warren family to walk further away until no more evil residue was found.
"Sorry for the trouble; split up and place these bells in these positions." William pointed to the map and said.
"This is?"
Lorraine reached out curiously to take it, and then surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Such powerful power." She exclaimed inwardly.
"Bells, different placement positions... could it be an exorcism array!"
Lorraine widened her eyes.
She had read relevant information in Church classics.
This exorcism method was very popular hundreds of years ago because of its powerful strength.
But because the array consumed a lot of Holy Power, it had gradually been replaced by new methods in recent years.
"Could this priest be from an ancient Church family?" Lorraine guessed secretly.
Judy was the first to pick up a bell.
She had done this before, so she excitedly pulled Lorraine and explained to the latter proactively.
The four agreed on a meeting time, and then began to split up.
Tens of minutes later, the trapping bells were set up.
In this way, the evil spirit was restricted to this area; William didn't want the situation in the Plague Zone to happen again.
"Shall we go find Mia now?"
Having witnessed William's methods, Lorraine's confidence in this exorcism increased greatly.
"No rush; wait a little longer." But William shook his head.
He returned to the street where the apartment was located.
There were still many evil traces remaining here. If left unchecked, they could very likely evolve into an opportunity for the evil spirit's rebirth.
This matter had almost become a law in American horror; a certain guy wearing a hockey mask was the best example!
Lorraine and Ed looked at each other; both saw this exorcism method for the first time.
From the perspective of the Warren couple, William was just wandering aimlessly on the street.
Occasionally, he would stop and take out the crucifix from his pocket.
But what surprised Lorraine was that she could always "see" the evil spirits that once existed in those places.
And there were dozens of such places around the apartment!
Lorraine was secretly alarmed; it turned out to be so dangerous nearby.
Recalling these past few days, she couldn't help but feel scared; she and her husband had passed by those locations many times.
"Must pay attention to this in the future!" Lorraine warned herself secretly.
After purifying the last evil residue, William put away the crucifix.
"Let's go to the apartment." He spoke.
Lorraine nodded; finally, the exorcism could officially begin!
The group came downstairs again.
Lorraine walked towards the doorbell but was stopped by William once more.
"Don't rush; we still have to arrange a second set of emergency measures." William explained.
Sec... second set?
Ed opened his mouth; the preparations for the exorcism just now had already taught him a lot.
Was that just the beginning?
Comparing like this, Ed felt a bit embarrassed to say he was a "professional exorcist."
He inadvertently turned his head and found his daughter Judy looking at the young priest with admiration.
Now Ed felt even worse inside!
"I'm not that bad..." He muttered softly.
Aside, Lorraine saw William take out many holy artifacts again, all filled with pure power.
Among them, there were many with powerful Holy Power, which represented that the holy artifacts were of high vintage.
This also made Lorraine more curious about William's identity.
After that, William used holy artifacts of different vintages along the apartment to narrow down the evil spirit's range of action again.
And at this time upstairs, the evil spirits entrenched in Mia's home were still unaware.
"Done." William clapped his hands.
"Then... I'll ring the doorbell?"
Lorraine asked tentatively; she already had experience.
William nodded: "Please find a reason to ask Mia to bring the child down."
"Aren't we going up?"
Ed had already taken the equipment out of the car.
Unexpectedly, William said seriously: "Entering a room with evil spirits rashly is a very dangerous behavior."
"Once trapped, you will lose the initiative."
"Secondly, you simply don't know if you have been affected by the evil spirit..."
Listening to the priest's words, Lorraine and Ed were speechless for a moment.
The two had been in the exorcism industry for many years, and it was the first time they heard this theory.
But... it makes so much sense!
Lorraine's eyes brightened; her previous accumulation was thoroughly integrated at this moment.
She recalled the difficulties she had encountered.
If she had followed Father William's exorcism method at that time, she could indeed have avoided danger earlier.
"Father William, you are very right." Lorraine accepted humbly.
She walked to the apartment gate, and this time William did not stop her.
After a beep, a woman's voice came from the intercom.
"Hey Mia, it's Lorraine. Judy introduced me to a restaurant..."
A moment later.
A young woman pushed a baby carriage out of the apartment.
Mia had short pale blond hair and a high nose bridge.
Even after just giving birth, she still maintained a good figure.
"Lorraine~ I called John, he said he would come later..."
She realized there were outsiders as soon as she spoke.
"This priest is..."
William stepped forward to introduce himself, then took out a bottle of Holy Water and handed it to the other party.
"What is this?" Mia took it doubtfully.
"Holy Water. Please drink it to ensure you haven't been affected by the evil spirit."
Mia showed a panicked look.
"Am... am I possessed!"
Lorraine was also a little surprised; she didn't "see" evil on Mia.
"Relax, this is just a preventive measure."
William pointed upwards as he spoke.
"Who knows if that guy did anything bad."
Everyone raised their heads upon hearing this, and then they were all quite frightened.
They saw a figure leaning out of the protective railing on the balcony of Mia's home on the tenth floor.
If one looked closely, one could find that it was a doll with a strange appearance.
At this time, it seemed to be "staring" at the people below.
