Chapter 77: Vincent's Miscalculation
Whoosh.
A beam of fire lit up in the darkness, illuminating the nearby scene.
William held a match and looked around.
Under his feet was the asphalt road he was standing on before.
But beside him was a "roof," as if a house was built on the wall.
And there were many such absurd scenes.
Inverted streetlights, big trees, and cars parked on the wall...
At the same time, William also found the others.
Everyone was not far apart.
Seeing William under the firelight, everyone hurriedly gathered around.
"What happened? Where are we?" Sasha held the silver coin, constantly looking around.
Sadie had already taken out her revolver and stood facing away from everyone to stand guard.
"If I guessed correctly, it should be inside Vincent's 'stomach'."
William spoke calmly.
Combined with Vincent's previous words and the actions he took at the end.
William guessed that the former used some method to fuse himself with the town.
Making the entire Ambrose part of Vincent's body.
When the town gathered previously, William briefly judged whether he could leave with [Sacred Step].
But given the height the ground rolled up at that time, it might have been too late.
Plus the others were still in place.
Therefore, William chose another strategy—he used a very short time to set up a set of holy artifact magic circles on the spot to prepare for the attack that might come later.
At the same time, the moment before the ground closed.
William glimpsed a gap exposed in one direction.
And that place was exactly where he arranged the holy artifacts before entering the town.
After the shaking stopped around him, William checked the holy artifacts he was wearing.
After ensuring nothing was lost, he took out the match from his pocket.
"What should we do now?" Sadie spoke at this time.
Everyone looked at William upon hearing this.
From entering the town, this priest had shown extraordinary abilities.
So unconsciously, William had become the backbone of the people present.
"There might be a way in that direction..."
He told everyone what he saw before coming in.
"Great! Let's go over quickly." Sasha's voice lifted.
For so long, she had longed to fight against evil.
And now, she had the feeling of teaming up with companions to defeat demons.
"No rush, there are still some things that need to be verified."
William handed the matchbox to Wade, then took out a bottle of holy water, pulled out the wooden stopper, and poured it on the ground.
Sizzle.
The water stains flowed out of the range of the holy artifacts, but no abnormal events occurred.
"Maybe what Vincent fused with is not the town itself." William rubbed his chin.
If the town was also part of Vincent's body, then holy water should have caused damage to it.
In this way, Vincent likely fused with other things, thereby driving the town to complete the closure.
Thus, the town would naturally not be purified by holy water.
At the same time, it also became a "barrier" protecting Vincent.
Through the attempt just now, William quickly clarified his thoughts.
It had to be said that Vincent reacted very quickly.
But if the other party thought this could trap William to death, he underestimated him.
Thinking of this, William took out the [Amulet of the Deceased] from his pocket.
Soon, there were more figures nearby.
"Gh... ghosts!"
Carly's voice trembled, holding William's arm tightly.
On the other side, Wade also stuck close in horror.
Despite having contact with dead spirits multiple times, the two still felt fear instinctively.
"Relax, guys; they are on our side." William shook his head helplessly.
Sasha originally looked panicked too, but after hearing the priest's words, she boldly approached one of the dead spirits.
"He... hello?"
She waved her hand, but the other party didn't respond.
Seeing this, Sasha looked at the priest with surprised eyes.
This was incredible!
Sasha once heard her father say—after death, kind souls would go to heaven.
And those remaining in the lower realm were all aimless dead spirits.
They were two extremes with the living, and the two were naturally in a hostile state.
But this priest seemed to be able to command these dead spirits.
How on earth did he do it!
Sasha became more and more curious.
On the other side.
After communicating with the dead spirits, they soon disappeared into the "walls."
"Sure enough, this place cannot restrict spiritual bodies." William narrowed his eyes.
Before long, he received a message from the dead spirits.
As William expected, this body of Vincent's was not unbreakable.
The dead spirits had already found the position where the holy artifacts were laid out earlier.
At the same time, William also learned another piece of news.
"Oh? A strange-looking meat ball?"
According to the dead spirits, they found a space heavily wrapped in flesh and blood.
Inside was a meat ball placed, its surface filled with extremely evil power.
Even with the identity of dead spirits, they thought it was "extremely evil."
Then it must be an important item of Vincent.
Thinking of this, William had a plan.
He recalled some dead spirits to lead the way, and arranged the rest to stand guard near the wall.
At the same time, on the way to the "gap."
Many corrosive liquids were gathering here.
Vincent certainly knew the "weak point" of this body, so he mobilized a large amount of acid.
Planning to attack suddenly when that group of humans looked for the exit.
However, Vincent obviously didn't expect one thing.
If he knew enough about a certain culture on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, he would understand—swallowing an enemy far stronger than oneself into the belly is an extremely unwise move.
When Vincent realized something was wrong, it was a bit too late.
"How did these guys find that place!"
Vincent was shocked.
But immediately he understood the reason.
"It's Bo's 'Dead Spirit Slaves'!"
"Damn it! Didn't they sign a contract!"
Vincent came a little late, so naturally, he didn't witness the scene of the dead spirits rebelling.
"Who is this person! Clearly a priest but can mobilize dead spirits."
He could no longer remain calm.
After the death of the original body, the current Vincent was the last main body.
"Stop! We can talk."
Just as William planned to pour holy water on the meat ball, Vincent's voice suddenly sounded around.
"What, chipped a tooth when swallowing us just now?"
At this time, William didn't forget to dig at the other party.
Vincent gritted his teeth, but endured it.
"I can let you go, as long as you can swear in the name of faith, never to step into Ambrose again."
"And bury everything you saw in your heart until you enter the grave."
William chuckled lightly upon hearing this.
"Mr. Vincent, haven't you discovered that the advantage is not with you?"
He pointed to the meat ball as he spoke.
"Besides, when did we say we wanted to get out?"
"You!!"
Vincent tried his best to suppress his anger.
In the past, he played the role of a hunter, enjoying the fear of his prey to the fullest.
But now the situation had reversed.
"If I die, you will be trapped in my body forever."
Vincent tried to squeeze out a peaceful tone.
"The organization behind me has sent people here; they are from Hell."
Aside, Sasha was startled upon hearing this.
"Is this monster actually from Hell!"
Relying on her father's relationship, she naturally knew about the Holy Word.
She also knew that Hell really existed, and disasters would soon befall this world.
Although she admired the priest forcing this monster to negotiate peace.
But at the same time, she was also worried.
She was just the bishop's illegitimate daughter, far inferior to the real upper echelons of the Church.
This priest didn't look like someone with a background either.
If there really was a guy from Hell, everyone present might die.
Sasha looked at the priest worriedly, but the latter's eyes remained calm as water.
"I've known the way out for a long time..."
William was not threatened by these remarks, but instead pointed out the fact that Vincent's body had leaks.
But he still said: "It's not impossible for you to survive."
William pointed to the dead spirits beside him.
"Hand over their and Seymour's corpses, and then we'll talk about other things."
