The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 138 Small Town Hospital
"I said...is there something wrong with this town?"

Snow looked vigilantly at the funeral convoy passing in front of him. This was already the seventh wave.

Ever since he got off the train and came to the town Snow mentioned, he felt a very depressive atmosphere that seemed to fill this town.

And just from his observation, there seemed to be two waves of widows in the funeral convoy whose soul colors were a little bit wrong.

The probability of the devil is very high...

"Well! I also find it a little strange, why are there so many people attending funerals today?"

Allen scratched his head strangely. In his memory, this small town has always been a very ordinary, peaceful and ordinary place.

"It seems that I have to find a chance to take a look at it at night. Let's go to the assistant you mentioned first! Didn't you say that she is a well-known old man in the local area?"

"Well, she's a nice person, and here we are."

Allen said with a smile, then pointed to a small farm in front of him.

The yard is not big, but it is tidy. There are some vegetables, melons and fruits planted on both sides. In the middle of the garden, there is a figure with a straw hat busy.

"This is it... Bama!!!"

Allen saw the busy figure and greeted him happily.

Bama should be that person's name.

Hearing someone calling himself, the other party stood up.

It was only then that Snow could see clearly that the busy figure was more than two meters tall, and had a very strong body, wearing a dirty straw hat. His facial features looked rough, but his nose was red.

"Oh oh oh! It's Allen!!! Long time no see, long time no see, it's been three years."

The other party yelled out in surprise, then opened his arms like a gorilla, and ran over to Allen who was beside the door with a "boom boom boom".

The ground... seems to be shaking.

Seeing the surprised look of the other party, Allen's face gradually turned from red to white.

"That... Bama? Cold... calm down!"

Bean Sprouts raised his hand in a panic to signal the other party to slow down, but the burly man called Bama didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

"bump!!!"

"Oh!"

Looking at Bean Sprout's thin body, like a bottle being knocked away by a bowling ball, Snow couldn't help but marvel.

This man named Bama can already be regarded as a natural supernatural power.

Seemingly noticing his gaffe, he smiled awkwardly, then stretched out two fingers to pinch Bean Sprout's clothes and told him to pick it up.

"Ah...why didn't you see Mr. Kuros?"

The other party was a little stiff and wanted to change the subject, but Snow felt that this guy's brain seemed a little naive.

However, it looks like a real person.

"Master, his whereabouts are unknown..."

"Alan, are you alright?"

Snow intervened appropriately, interrupting the two people's reminiscence, don't forget him, at least let's introduce each other first.

“Wow wow wow!!!”

To Snow's surprise, upon seeing him for the first time, the tall and strong man let out a cry of shock.

Holding his face in his hands, he glanced back and forth between Allen, Snow and Phyllis full of astonishment.

It's like discovering a new continent.

Before Allen could react, he yelled explosively and ran quickly into the room behind him.

"Ma Ze!!! Something is wrong. Allen came to the house with his wife and children."

???

Snow tilted his head subconsciously, but soon he realized what the other party meant, and his head became full of black lines.

Well, I take back what I just said, this guy is not an honest person, there is definitely something wrong with his brain.

"Hmm, hahaha! Ma Ze is the supporter of the master I mentioned, and he is also a respected old man.

Bama has been serving her by her side all the time. Although he sometimes makes some oolongs, he is not a bad person. "

Allen looked at Snow with black lines on his face, and explained with some embarrassment.

Although he knew that Bama's mind was a bit stubborn at ordinary times, he didn't expect to misunderstand them as a family of three under such circumstances...

"Oh! Forget it, it's still important to get down to business."

Snow responded with a sneer, and then walked into the room with an arrogant figure-of-eight step. He felt that he needed to give a good explanation.

The old man called Ma Ze was a very short old lady. When Snow entered the door, she was smoking a dry pipe.

His face looked stern, and he seemed a bit uncomfortable to get along with.

"Bama, how many times have I told you? You have to be calm and use your brain when things happen. Allen is only so old, how could he have a wife and children?"

The other party sighed deeply, and a man more than two meters tall stood behind her, honestly reprimanded, not even daring to breathe.

It can be seen that the old man is also very troubled by this brain capacity.

"However... the Black Sect is really going too far, and even such a young child is sent to the battlefield."

Snow: "..."

Regarding this issue, he didn't want to explain too much anymore, so he quietly played a trick on Allen.

"Ah! They are all my companions, Snow and Phyllis."

It seemed that Allen was very familiar with this old man, because when the other party saw him, although he had a stern look on his face, Snow caught the unconcealable joy in his eyes.

Like a grandma looking at her grandson, Bama invited them to sit down and eat with great enthusiasm, and specially prepared two whole pots of food - one of which belonged to Allen himself.

"Actually, I came to see Ma Ze this time, mainly to ask if you know the whereabouts of the master."

The food was delicious, Allen licked the plate clean.

In the previous conversation, he had already briefly described the current situation with the other party.

"Hmph! Why do I know the whereabouts of that Kuros?"

Maze's tone sounded a bit annoyed.

"Huh? But isn't Ma Ze a supporter of the master?"

Allen froze for a moment, actually he also felt a little strange, the relationship between the master and this old man seemed a little strange.

It's a bit like a year-end friend, and a bit like a collaborator... But Kuros undoubtedly trusts this old man very much.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Snow suddenly remembered the temperament that existed in Kanda - Tsundere.

Speaking of which, how old is that Kulos guy?
This guy is a senior magister and an exorcist, and he cannot be measured by the age of ordinary humans.

And this old man... the word admirer suddenly appeared in Snow's mind. She is just an ordinary human being, so she will age.

"I don't care about a guy who's just in debt."

Hearing this, Ma Ze's mood became angry.

As soon as he heard the words "I owe a whole lot of debt", Allen's face also began to turn bad, which touched his bad memories.

"Why even Maze..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man aggressively slapped a stack of white papers in front of him.

"I don't know the whereabouts of that bastard, but the IOUs and bills from that guy were mailed to me."

Snow couldn't help raising his eyebrows, good guy, this Kuros is really a role model for my generation, you don't even let the old man go, right?
The IOUs are all in the amount of hundreds or thousands. Although the amount is not large, it cannot hold up to a large number.

I'm afraid these things have affected the normal life of the old man, no wonder she is annoyed by it.

Allen looked at the stack of bills, his face gradually became dull, and then he stretched out his hand silently, and put them into his arms.

(Hey hey hey! What are you doing?)
"Well! But after not being a follower like you, the brat, he came to my place for two days and left soon. The direction is east."

The old man sat down and angrily lit her tobacco.

"By the way, is it convenient for me to ask a question?"

At this moment Snow raised his little paw.

"Is there anything special going on in this small town recently? I saw the funeral convoy outside just now, and it seems to be a little frequent.

If the Earl of the Millennium sneaks in at this moment, then..."

As a supporter of the order, Maze will not be unfamiliar with the name Devil and Millennium Earl.

"I do have some information channels of my own. The number of demons has indeed increased in the past six months, and the atmosphere around the town is indeed a bit weird."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then continued.

"And it's indeed something worth noting. I hope you can check it out... Wait, can you please avoid it?"

Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly looked out the window.

It's a new guest.

So Snow and the others left quietly, walked into another room, and rested for a while.

It seemed that the old man didn't want them to have any contact with the visitors.

"Tonight, let's check the homes of those funeral convoys. Ma Ze should have some information."

Snow also just found out that this fierce-looking old man had actually served as the county magistrate in this small county town for quite a long time.

The surrounding citizens all agree with her.

Secretly opening a corner of the door curtain, Snow saw that Ma Ze seemed to be comforting a crying woman in the room, and the other party should be the visitor just now.

"Maze is still the same as before. Although he has retired, he still insists on listening to the concerns of the residents in the town."

Allen said softly beside him.

"Yes! Ma Ze has not changed for so many years. That child is a nurse working in the hospital in the town."

Bama also stood behind with arms crossed, feeling emotional.

"She is also a miserable person. She met a person in the hospital. Of course, the other person is an incurable patient named Lenny..."

Through the wall, the other party's deep cries could already be heard, and it seemed that the person named Lenny was about to die.

Nurse in love with patient?What kind of fairy tale is this?
"This is really bad. There are so many funeral convoys in this small town, and I just heard something like this...

Speaking of which, if the person named Lenny really left, how much grief would this lady have?Is it enough to attract the Earl of the Millennium? "

Snow stood behind and muttered softly. As an exorcist, he must always have a necessary sensitivity to death.

After half an hour, Ma Ze got up and sent the other party to the door.

Then he called Bama over and asked him to take him back. After all, it was already dark outside.

"This town is thanks to you, Maze.

We've learned that this lady is a wretch too... But Maze, did you say before that there are strange things going on in town? "

Allen got out from behind and sighed softly. Just now, he had already understood what Snow meant.

After Allen returned here, he discovered that the small town he lived in had undergone many earth-shaking changes.

Not only has the town's infrastructure improved a lot, but it also has many new faces that he hadn't seen before, and the one that caught his attention the most was a hospital.

Without him, the hospital would be too big.

Among the information provided by Ma Ze, the rather strange hospital in the small town is also the most suspicious place.

Because the hospital is completely free. It should be said that in most cases, it basically does not charge fees. As long as there are patients, it is willing to treat them.

But... for some reason, black and white incidents in the town seem to have become more and more frequent in the past six months.

Snow judged based on his experience, and instinctively speculated with the most malicious thoughts.

For example, this hospital was actually established by the Earl of the Millennium.

He used this place as a stronghold to collect those critically ill patients, and then took advantage of their deaths and the tragedies of their loved ones to turn this place into a temporary demon production site.

And a place like a hospital is the easiest place to cover up a death.

"Actually, it's not that I haven't considered this possibility, but the reputation of that hospital is really good, and the dean is also known as a kind person."

"Then secretly investigate."

Snow said calmly.

He can also be regarded as an old opponent against the Earl of the Millennium, and the two have not only fought against each other.

And in the war at the Suez Canal, he had seen the skillful skills of the other party's supporting agents.

The king and prince of a sovereign country can be replaced by him without anyone noticing, let alone the president of a hospital.

Now that you have this suspicion, then find a way to sneak into the hospital and take a look secretly.

Anyway, Snow thought that his piercing eyes were quite useful.

Ma Ze quickly provided them with complete information. Even at night, he had a way to find out the identities of the convoys that were funeral today.

"Why so many?"

Snow looked at the thick stack of information in his hand, the town's population was small, but today there were more than five abnormal deaths in one day.

They are serious illnesses, accidents, and treatment failures...

But they all had one thing in common before they died, that is, they had been to that hospital, but with the above-mentioned experience, going to the hospital was inevitable.

But the problem was that the five of them were not the only ones who had entangled with that hospital.

Maze's connections in this small town are great, and even in the middle of the night, they can be brought to the archives in the town.

In the past six months, the death toll in this town has significantly increased, and... this hospital was only opened about three years ago.

The dean is a very, very kind person. It is said that nearly [-]% of the patients in that hospital do not need to pay the hospitalization fee.

But the hospital is not running well, and there is even a tendency to expand, and now it is the place with the best welfare work in the whole town.

"There is something wrong with this hospital! There is no charge, where do they get the money?"
