Unlike the direct possession and erosion stages of demons,
soul body possession, unless the host's consciousness is blurred, or their nerves are weak or collapsing, it is generally difficult to directly invade and quickly complete the possession.
That's why various evil spirit incidents have the three stages summarized earlier:
trigger, harassment, possession.
Of course, this is for ordinary people.
Hosts who can converse with the undead and have a spiritual medium physique are naturally different.
York was expressionless, staring at Janet, who was constantly twisting in the video.
If Janet in the video could communicate with the undead and agreed to possession, then the undead or evil spirit conversing with her could naturally bypass the aforementioned stages and quickly complete the possession.
"However, this spiritual talent is probably stronger than Lorraine's." Staring at Janet in the video, York had a thought.
At this moment, the investigation expert in the video, who was still quite experienced and calm, cautiously asked,
"Isn't that your name? Janet?"
A hint of familiarity flashed in York' eyes, and he looked up at Ed, who was driving intently in the front seat.
He had heard this method of first seeking verification many times from The Warrens.
He continued to look at the tablet screen.
Janet on the sofa had her head down. She was a perfectly fine girl, but the voice playing from the tablet was very coarse:
"Janet is asleep. I am the one speaking. Didn't you want to talk to me? Now I'm here!"
The reporter and their staff looked as if they had seen a ghost. Only the investigation expert, after a moment of silence, spoke again:
"What's your name?"
Janet: "Bill, Bill, Bill..."
Investigation Expert: "Bill? What's the surname?"
Janet: "Bill, Bill Wilkins!"
Investigation Expert: "Hello, Bill Wilkins, where are you from?"
Janet: "I come from the grave!"
Investigation Expert: "Since that's the case, why are you here?"
Janet: "Hehehe! I like to hear them scream!"
Investigation Expert: "Why did you target this family?"
Janet: "This is my house! They occupied my house! They don't belong here, tell them to get out now!"
"…"
Hearing this, York shook his head and turned off the video. This much was enough.
Judging solely from this interview video, he couldn't find any trace of the nun's presence. He could only assume that this supernatural event was real and then analyze the composition of this soul entity from these conversations.
Compared to evil spirits and demons that often take lives, those who can still have normal conversations with humans are most likely just undead spirits who enjoy playing tricks and scaring humans. Of course, since this case was entrusted to The Warrens, this undead spirit must have some rather malicious aspects.
Aside from this, this interview video was not entirely without suspicious points.
York thought of the undead spirit's phrase, "I come from the grave." This point was worth investigating. The spaces the undead inhabit are different, and being able to accurately find the place they once lived is not a simple matter.
He just didn't know if the nun was behind this.
He couldn't help but recall the nun's ruthless image. York couldn't help but shift into a more comfortable position. Currently, the only thing he could do was to adapt to whatever came his way. Even if this ruthless character, who could transform into the nun, wanted to do something, he had nothing to fear.
With the 24-kilogram TNT equivalent under his feet, plus the 160 points of enchantment that amplified the intrinsic explosive power, turning it into a holy bomb of pure divine light when it exploded, he shouldn't feel afraid.
Thinking this, York, expressionless, put all his things away and placed them on the console in the front seat.
Ed, who had been observing, immediately spoke, "Father Yorkes, are you finished?"
"Mm."
York turned to look out the car window beside him, watching the rapidly passing scenery, and said calmly,
"The mischief might be caused by a lingering undead spirit, but there might be a problem within it.
As for what the problem is, we'll see after we get to the scene..."
Ed and Drew, in the passenger seat, exchanged glances and silently pressed the accelerator.
Ten-odd minutes later.
Jersey City, New Jersey.
The car arrived at the community where the Peggy Family lived.
It was an elegant, mid-range community, but it was very quiet. Pedestrians on the street all looked hurried, seemingly wanting to leave the area as quickly as possible.
York was silent, recalling a phrase: people in a state of alarm.
As the car went deeper, Ed's voice rang out, "Father Yorkes, we're here, just over there."
Hearing this, York squinted, looking out his side window in the direction Ed indicated.
About ten meters ahead, in front of the fence of a typical American-style detached house, a group of people stood.
The Peggy Family of five from the video were there, of course, but the protagonist Janet was missing.
Even the investigation expert who resembled Charlie Chaplin was standing by, waiting.
York withdrew his gaze and said, "Ed, do you know that investigation expert?"
"You mean Maurice?" Ed, who was slowly driving and preparing to park, replied.
"We've worked together before."
So he was a colleague, but not registered with the church. After recalling the church's registration list, York already had an idea.
Perhaps the investigation expert's skill level was limited, but that made sense; it was precisely because his skill was a bit lacking that he sought help from The Warrens.
After all, not everyone could be like Ed, with a wife who was a medium and possessed Yin-Yang Eyes... Ed parked the car in front of the yard.
"Ed!"
First, the investigation expert named Maurice showed a happy smile and, with the bewildered Peggy Family, came over to greet them.
"You're finally here!"
His excitement was evident, but when York got out of the car, he saw the divine robe York was wearing and froze on the spot. Even the Peggy Family who followed behind him stopped dead in their tracks, their eyes wide.
As an uninvited guest, York naturally understood their feelings but didn't care. After nodding in acknowledgment, he let Ed, who had gotten out of the car, quickly make introductions.
"Maurice, let me introduce you. This is Father Yorkes from the church."
"Ah?" Maurice was stunned, seemingly not having reacted yet, but the next second he instantly woke up, quickly stepped forward and extended his hand, introducing himself first.
"Father Yorkes, hello, my name is Maurice Grosse, a member of the New Jersey Paranormal Research Society."
Paranormal Research Society? York remained unmoved, extended his hand, and shook his, naturally recalling the video he had watched in the car.
"Hello, Mr. Maurice, I've seen the video you sent."
Saying this, to Maurice, who resembled Charlie Chaplin, in his expectant gaze, York continued.
"Hmm, well done."
Maurice visibly and quickly put on a bright smile of approval...
