Chapter 57: Standoff with the Evil Spirit
"In broad daylight, under the bright sun, imprisoning a poor mother and son..."
"You are just a weak evil spirit! Delusional enough to control humans!"
"Even if someone like you goes to hell, you'll be kicked out."
...
William spewed trash talk toward the house.
This was a necessary skill for a qualified exorcist.
Some great exorcists in the Vatican could even force demons to say their names just by "verbal skills" during a confrontation.
Although William didn't need this, he certainly wouldn't miss anything that could disturb the emotions of evil spirits and demons.
This could force the opponent to reveal flaws first and also allow William to look for opportunities.
Although his mouth was dirty, his feet stood firmly on the safety line, not moving a step.
As for whether this would implicate Martin and cause him harm, William wasn't worried.
Rebecca mentioned just now that her brother was still alive when he was dragged into the house.
In that case, Sophie could threaten with her own life, and the evil spirit would definitely be wary.
Aside, Rebecca and Bret stared at the priest in surprise.
It was their first time witnessing an exorcism, and they didn't expect such a scene.
Meanwhile, inside the house.
Facing William's "verbal massage," Diana was obviously affected.
Only a noise was heard inside, and its figure appeared quickly by various windows.
Immediately after, various objects flew out of the windows.
Desk lamps, kitchen knives, and even a TV.
Rebecca turned her head quickly upon seeing this, and Bret rushed to block in front of her.
But the expected scene didn't appear.
Those objects fell to the ground before they even reached William.
Occasionally, one or two flew further, but were also blocked by an invisible barrier.
Rebecca looked up, looking at this scene incredulously.
Bret also opened his mouth wide.
Seeing the attacks were ineffective, Diana was furious inside the house.
Bang... Bang...
It hit the wall hard, and several times its body crossed the window, but was forced back by the sunlight outside.
Seeing the goal achieved, William put down the megaphone, turned his head, and picked up a few lure fishing rods on the ground.
He had already asked Bret to tie the fishing lines.
William took out a wooden jar from his cloth bag, opened it, and there were many paper strips soaked inside.
These were all soaked in 20-year-old holy water.
He took out one and wrapped the paper strip around the line above the hook.
Then he wrapped another paper strip on the next section.
And so on, until the entire fishing line was covered.
Aside, Bret didn't understand what this was for.
But he still followed William's instructions and wrapped the other fishing rod with paper strips.
"A bit heavy; Taiwanese fishing rod weights are easier to use," William tried it and thought to himself.
Then, he took the fishing rod to the front of the house.
Rebecca, Bret, and Diana inside the house all stared at this priest, wondering what he was going to do.
William aimed with his thumb.
Because he pulled out the fishing line in advance, he raised the rod high and then threw it forward.
Whoosh.
The fishing line flew toward the house.
But it soon fell to the ground.
"Pity, a bit off."
William raised the fishing rod, feeling the gap in the landing point just now.
With the physical flexibility brought by [Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius], he quickly found the right force.
So, the second cast.
The hook landed accurately on the curtain in front of Diana.
A sense of resistance came, and William lifted the rod slightly.
The curtain was instantly pulled aside, and sunlight took the opportunity to break into the room.
Sizzle... hiss...
A small patch on Diana's arm was burned, and it screamed in pain immediately.
This action also successfully angered it.
Diana grabbed the fishing line, but the paper strip stained with holy water directly purified half of its palm.
It retracted its hand in "shock," cursing the priest outside even more viciously.
Diana grabbed a desk lamp again.
In the next second, it remembered that doing so couldn't hurt that damn priest.
Diana stepped on the window sill, but the boundary between sunlight and shadow prevented it from taking a step.
Diana's limbs twisted even more.
Curses.
Vicious curses.
Hysterical curses.
At this moment, the torture and ridicule suffered in life seemed nothing compared to this moment.
Click.
At this time, another soft sound came from outside the house.
Diana disappeared from the window instantly, but still left some burnt black skin behind.
Several floodlights were under the eaves, facing the window at a specific angle.
Wet paper strips were also pasted on the lights, with crucifixes hanging on them.
But due to sufficient outdoor light, the effect of the floodlights was weakened a lot.
But even so, Diana dared not look directly.
Inside the house.
Diana jumped in front of Sophie suddenly, snatching Martin from her arms.
Facing Sophie's pleading, it pushed her to the ground casually.
Immediately after, Diana's lips moved slightly, and a whisper sounded in the room.
Sophie shook her head repeatedly, seeming very resistant to Diana's request.
But Martin was in the latter's hands, so she could only compromise.
So, Sophie's eyes rolled back.
A moment later, her expression gradually calmed down, and she turned to the window.
"You guys! Get away from my door immediately! Or I'll call the police."
Sophie came to the window and scolded.
"Rebecca, you bitch, I shouldn't have given birth to you!"
"I only love Martin; I never want to see you again in this life!"
Hearing this, Rebecca felt a pain in her heart, and Bret hurried forward to hug her.
"Damn priest, I'm going to kick your ass hard!"
"You are a scamming charlatan! Go back to your church!"
...
"Possession and verbal bewitchment, huh."
William raised an eyebrow, guessing that this evil spirit was at its wit's end.
He picked up the megaphone immediately.
"Your language organization ability is as ugly as a sewer rat."
"I'm standing right here; do you dare to come over?"
William continued to provoke the other party with words.
"Sophie" stepped over the window immediately.
Because the main body was human, she was not afraid of sunlight.
William silently calculated the distance between the two.
In the next second.
William's figure disappeared from the spot instantly.
When he reappeared, he splashed a bottle of holy water on Sophie's face.
The latter immediately covered her face and screamed.
Retch.
Sophie spat out a pool of black blood, and her eyes became clear at the same time.
"Rebecca, sorry..."
She ran to her daughter in tears.
"Those words just now weren't me..."
"Mom, I understand!" Rebecca also hugged Sophie.
At this time, William separated the two crying women.
"Excuse me, it's not over yet."
He observed Sophie with [Night Vision]. Although the mind control just now was eliminated, the shadow hidden in her brain still existed.
At the same time, Sophie suddenly turned around, looking at the roof nervously.
Everyone looked in that direction.
The skylight was opened from the inside, and then a quilt appeared from inside, propping up a small shadow at the window.
Then, Diana crawled out from inside, still holding the unconscious Martin in its hand.
Although it could appear through Sophie's brain and roam in the darkness.
But there were certain restrictions.
For example, Diana couldn't be too far from Sophie. At the same time, it was difficult for it to appear on the street during the day.
Therefore, when this damn priest took Sophie away from the house, it only had Martin as a trump card.
Diana's joints bent unnaturally, suspending Martin outside the skylight.
Its intention was self-evident.
"No! Don't hurt him."
Sophie covered her mouth, looking pleading.
A moment later, she seemed to receive some instruction.
"Okay, I'll go back; please let him go."
Sophie said and was about to go back.
Seeing this, Rebecca was anxious inside, looking at the priest beside her.
William raised an eyebrow, not expecting this evil spirit to try to threaten them.
He grabbed Sophie's arm and pulled her in front of him.
At the same time, he took out a crucifix and pressed the end against Sophie's pulse.
"I advise you not to act rashly, or there will be blood today!"
William shouted with the megaphone in his other hand.
