I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 288
"And then? What's the name of that demon?!" Lin Yuanqi asked nervously.

Wilson shook his head and told everyone that at the same time that the evil figure appeared, assistants Richard and Donnie felt as if thousands of troops were roaring past their ears, and the deafening and terrifying screams filled the whole place as the cold air swept through. storehouse.

The demon's low murmur made them feel like their heads were about to explode, but the two couldn't hold on, and passed out in the warehouse one after another.

And when Richard and Downey woke up, it was already early morning the next day.

They didn't know what happened in the warehouse last night, the surroundings were in a mess, and the old pastor was covered in blood, lying weakly among the wheat stacks not far away.Richard hurried up to help him up, and found that the old pastor was holding a mirror tightly in his hand.

"At that time, Richard quickly picked up the pastor and planned to send him to the hospital. When he was dying, the old pastor spoke intermittently, asking Downey to find a place to hide the mirror, and it is best to let it never see the light of day ” Wilson said the pastor died shortly after being taken to the hospital due to ineffective rescue efforts.

As for Downey, after he returned from handling the tasks assigned by the pastor, he seemed to be a different person.

Preoccupied, he found Richard and asked him to move out of the town as soon as possible, the farther the better.And Downey himself resigned from related jobs and planned to change his life to another place.

Richard was puzzled, and after repeated inquiries, he learned that although the old pastor paid the price with his life, his seal was not completely successful.Although the demon is imprisoned in the mirror, it is only temporarily.

At that time, after Downey left the farm, he rushed into the forest quickly, trying to find a place to bury the mirror forever so that no one would find it.

But not long after entering the forest, he felt a chilling evil force coming from the mirror.The devil's voice rang in his ears, and it whispered lowly, telling Downey that everything the pastor did was in vain.

It was only at this time that Downey realized that there was a slight crack on the surface of the mirror in his hand.He felt as if his body was out of control, and there was an evil thought in his heart, wanting to smash the mirror directly.

Downey was afraid that the demon would invade his will and use his body to destroy the sealed props.Holding the thought of dying together, he kept fighting, struggling to escape to the depths of the forest, and finally came to the edge of the pool, and jumped down with the mirror.

Fortunately, the moment he entered the water, the power attached to him also disappeared.Donnie watched the mirror fall from his hands and sank to the bottom of the lake. Exhausted, he swam to the shore with his last strength and narrowly escaped death.

"So that's the case." After hearing what Wilson said, Ling Yun and the others all showed signs of understanding.The sealed props at the bottom of the lake have gradually collapsed over the past 30 years, and the demons have returned. Any child who has approached the waterfall will be bewitched.

But yesterday, Zhu Qingrong's team did not go near the waterfall, but they were also attacked; this is enough to prove that the demons have now completely regained their freedom.

"Do you have any clues about the identity of that demon?"

Ling Yun walked around the living room and looked at the religious murals that Wilson hung on the wall: they all depicted horrible scenes about hell, or images of demons descending on the world and bringing disasters to the world.

Wilson pulled out a white speech board from behind the sofa, and solemnly said: "This is the clues I have collected from visiting relatives of the victim and people around me for 15 years. I still remember that before the accident, my son Jack once said Did I see a pair of red eyes at the bottom of the lake? In fact, not only him, but other children also said that they saw the figure of the devil."

Everyone found that the whiteboard was full of words, almost all about the details of the disappearance case.Some of these places were marked by red circles by Wilson.

Before the Andersons were killed in 2005, neighbors said their youngest son, then seven, spent the afternoon talking to himself in the garden.I went up to ask, but the other party said that he was playing a game with a tall, thin, bearded uncle.

A similar situation occurred in the Green family in 2009. Before the incident, the missing nine-year-old girl mentioned to her playmates more than once that recently there was always an older sister in a floral dress wandering outside her house, calling her name all the time. .

The same is true of the Hill family, who were shot dead in 2014. The second son, Green, was always awakened by nightmares at night, crying and telling his parents that whenever the lights were turned off, a gray-haired old man would appear next to the bed in his bedroom.He was dressed in a black robe and had a long beard, just like the evil wizard depicted in fairy tale books.

"There are other children who have witnessed all kinds of strange people before they disappeared." Wilson believes that the object described by the children is the demon.

"It seems that in the eyes of different people, it will appear in different images. After suffering a loss, this demon has become more and more cunning." Ling Yun held his chin in thought, and combined with the current situation, he wanted to investigate the identity of the other party. , it is really difficult.

Now that there are no other clues, Ling Yun doesn't plan to stay any longer.

Before leaving, Wilson took out an old and yellowed photo from somewhere, and handed it to Ling Yun.The photo was taken of a man's palm with faint scars, like burns, forming a strange shape.

He told everyone that this photo was given to him by Richard, and it showed Downey's injured palm.When Downey escaped death and swam to the shore from the river, he realized that the palm of his right hand, which used to hold the mirror, was already bloody.After the wound was washed by water, such a mark appeared in the palm of his hand.

Although it is a pity that the old pastor did not have time to say the name of the demon before his death, Richard believes that the strong-willed Downey has not been possessed by evil forces, and the imprint left on him may have something to do with the demon. of real identity.

"Thank you, Mr. Wilson." Ling Yun took the photo and thanked him repeatedly.

"It's nothing more than a little effort, there's only so much I can do."

Wilson sent everyone to the door, glanced at Li Xinjian and Tang Yao, and said solemnly: "Although we moved out of the town and away from right and wrong, Richard has been worried about this matter for more than 30 years. I plan to tell Richard Chad asked for help and asked him to use his relationship to contact a nearby church. If it goes well, he should be able to find an exorcist to help. But in the meantime, I hope you can protect your children."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Lin Yuanqi didn't expect Wilson to be so enthusiastic. After all, given their current situation, if they asked the church for help, they would never find reinforcements within three days.

However, after hearing Wilson's words, they rekindled their hopes.

Since the old pastor had a way to seal the demon back then, it proved that in this dungeon, exorcism is indeed useful.

After all, Ling Yun and others have never been in touch with this aspect, so in terms of professionalism, they are definitely not as good as priests.But before the arrival of reinforcements, they still have a task: to find out the real body of the devil.
