After Lin Bei and his group arrived in front of the elders of the Hawkins family, the old woman called the children to her side, checked them one by one, and after confirming that they were not injured, she finally put her mind at ease.

This exorcism and driving out of evil spirits completely overturned the Hawkins family's beliefs. When they looked at Lin Bei and the Warrens, their eyes were completely different.

The elders of the Hawkins family sincerely thanked Lin Bei and the Warrens, and offered them generous rewards, and then reluctantly sent Lin Bei and his party away.

Lin Bei followed the Warrens and their husbands out of Hawkins's house. It was still late at night and the streets were empty, with not a single person in sight.

Lin Bei paused, looked around the street, and found that the area was clean and there was no evil spirit. Then he got in the car with the Warrens and left Los Angeles.

After returning to the Warrens' residence, Lin Bei also temporarily lived in their house as their assistant.

It was here that Lin Bei had the honor of visiting their underground collection room.

Although it is called a collection room, no one is allowed to approach it. Only because Lin Bei has extremely powerful strength did Rowling Warren allow him to enter.

As soon as the mysterious door was opened, a terrifying and cold breath hit me in the face.

Of course, this was nothing to Lin Bei. He put his hands behind his back and walked in with a calm expression.

The Warrens had a habit of taking away the most sinister object from the other party's family every time they solved an exorcism case.

For example, when they went to Los Angeles to perform an exorcism, they took away a jewel necklace from the eldest son's bedroom.

The Hawkins family was wealthy and powerful, so they didn't pay much attention to this inexplicable necklace and let them take it away.

Lin Bei knew that this necklace was actually the necklace of the weeping woman. She first let the evil spirit at the beginning possess the eldest son, let the eldest son take the necklace home, and then found Hawkins's house based on the necklace.

Lin Bei turned sideways and watched Lorraine Warren put the jewel necklace into a jewelry box padded with red velvet and then placed it on the shelf. Then Lin Bei looked over the shelf and towards an empty space against the wall.

Lin Bei raised his eyebrows, a hint of doubt emerging in his mind. If he remembered correctly, there should have been a glass display case placed here.

The window displays a puppet named Annabell.

Not now, which means that the Warrens have not yet confronted Annabell.

Just as Lin Bei was thinking of this, Lorraine Warren, who had put away the jewelry boxes, turned around and looked at Lin Bei seriously.

"Lin Bei, from this exorcism with us, I can see that your strength is far greater than mine. This is actually a good thing. It means that we humans have the ability to expel all the demons from the world. Unfortunately, there are too few people with talents like you, so Lin Bei, you are really precious."

Lin Bei heard the meaning behind Lorraine Warren's words. He knew that there must be something bothering Lorraine Warren now, but she didn't want him to go.

The only reason is that it is too dangerous.

Lin Bei curled his lips slightly, leaned on the shelf with his arms folded, and smiled faintly.

"Ms. Rowling, don't worry about me. Since I have chosen to be your assistant, it means that I have thought it through clearly and I know what I will face. Have you encountered any problems? No matter what it is, no matter how dangerous it is, I am willing to help."

After saying this, Lin Bei heard a subtle strange noise coming from the collection room.

He tilted his head slightly and saw the dream catcher on the wall behind him suddenly shake.

There was clearly no wind, which meant that this was some kind of omen.

Moreover, it is a bad omen.

As soon as this thought flashed through Lin Bei's mind, he saw the dream catcher fall from the wall and shattered into pieces.

Lorraine Warren apparently noticed this, too.

She did not go forward to clean it up, but just stared at the broken dreamcatcher with a serious expression for a while, then sighed.

"Yes, there is one thing that has really bothered Ed and me for a long time, and that is a couple in Gresham Township, Pennsylvania, who... bought a doll three months ago, and since then, a lot of strange things have happened in their home.

Unfortunately, the day before we went to the Hawkins house, Ed and I received a call for help from the couple. Their neighbor had been killed, and the murderer broke into their house, took the doll, performed a strange ritual, and then committed suicide in their house.

The two of them were planning to move, but were worried about being entangled by the doll, so they came to us for help again, hoping that we could help them get rid of the doll completely.

But the problem is that Ed and I couldn't sense any demons or evil spirits in the doll, and we didn't even find any signs of demonic invasion in their home.

But my intuition tells me that there must be something wrong behind this matter, so Lin Bei, are you willing to help?"

After hearing this, Lin Bei knew for sure that although there were some changes, this was the original plot of "Annabelle".

Soon after Mia and her husband John Gordon got married, Mia became pregnant. In order to make Mia happy, John brought back a puppet doll named "Annabelle", which was the doll that Mia had been looking for for a long time.

After seeing Annabell, Mia was really happy and even placed her in the most conspicuous place in the bedroom.

But after that day, something seemed to have changed.

First, there were always strange noises at home, and then Mia almost encountered accidents several times, but fortunately everything was resolved.

However, one night, the neighbor's house was broken into and an elderly couple was killed. Then the gangster broke into Mia and John's house, took away Annabell, broke into the baby's room, and then committed suicide in the baby's room.

Someone died and the house was no longer habitable, so John moved with Mia, and Mia brought Annabell with her.

The strange vision also followed.

Of course, in the original plot, they got rid of Annabell with the help of the couple and a friend, at the expense of their friend, but now, they seem to have been connected to the Warrens for a long time.

Lin Bei pondered for a moment and felt that it was okay to have a little contact with Annabelle. He was even curious about which devil was hidden in Annabelle's puppet.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lorraine Warren was originally looking at Lin Bei nervously. She was thinking that this matter actually had little to do with Lin Bei and was very dangerous. If Lin Bei refused, there was nothing she could do.

Unexpectedly, Lin Bei agreed.

Lorraine Warren breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Lin Bei out of the collection room. She was going to tell Ed the good news and then rush to Pennsylvania together.

The Warrens' house is very big, so naturally they arranged a room for their assistant Lin Bei. Their daughter also likes Lin Bei very much. After they spent two happy days at the Warrens' house, after Ed Warren contacted the local church, they went directly to Mia and her husband's house.

The three of them traveled a whole day before reaching Black Oak Road where John and his wife were.

The couple moved into their new home with their newborn child. The new home was no longer a single-family house, but an apartment full of people. Perhaps because of what they had experienced while living alone before, the couple could no longer tolerate silence. Instead, the noisy apartment gave them a little feeling of living in the world.

The three of them went upstairs and came to the door of a room on the third floor. Lorraine Warren and Ed Warren looked at each other, and Lorraine went forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened and a blonde woman appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as she saw the Warrens, her eyes instantly turned red and she quickly stepped aside to welcome them into the house.

Lin Bei followed him in. He glanced at the layout of the house and found that it was a bit strange.

There is a living room and kitchen at the entrance, a narrow passage on the left, three rooms on both sides of the passage, and another room at the end.

This layout results in the narrow passage being unable to receive sunlight. Even though it is now evening and the sun has not yet completely set, the whole house feels gloomy and there is not a trace of warmth.

Mia arranged for the Warrens and Lin Bei to sit on the sofa in the living room. Next to the sofa was a crib with a well-behaved child who couldn't walk yet lying in it, blinking his watery eyes and looking at Lin Bei curiously.

While the Warrens were talking to Mia, Lin Bei walked over to the crib and slowly reached out his hand to the baby.

The child was very considerate and held Lin Bei's fingers tightly.

Lin Bei's eyes dimmed. No wonder Annabell would keep targeting this family. With such a fresh and delicious soul in front of it, it would be strange for it to let go.

Lin Bei knew, of course, that Annabell kept pestering them because she wanted Mia's child, but she could only take the child away if Mia gave it to her in person.

At this time, Mia had already discussed the problem with the Warrens.

"...Yes, I always feel that there is a gaze, a gaze full of malicious intent. I feel that our family is being targeted. No, that's not right. I feel that my child is being targeted..."

The Warrens looked at each other, and a solemn look appeared in their eyes.

Often when demons invade human homes, there are several steps. The first is impact, which only creates minor troubles, such as flickering lights, a television that won't turn off, and the sound of electricity that keeps going off.

The second part is oppression, things in the house being moved, strange and inexplicable sights, and dangerous accidents that may occur at any time but are not fatal.

The third part is that evil spirits and demons are no longer covered up, because the first two steps have exhausted the hope and beauty in people's hearts, leaving only pain, despair and fear. The human soul is at its most vulnerable, and it is time to harvest souls.

Obviously, Mia's family has reached the second part, and judging by Mia's pale face and listless state, she is about to enter the third state.

The devil is already restless and can't wait to take action.

The Warrens asked some detailed questions, including some things that Mia had encountered at home that were difficult to explain with common sense, and Mia told them all.

Lin Bei listened to everything while entertaining the baby. He almost understood the situation and had an idea in his mind on how to deal with the cunning demon.

That’s right, Annabell is just the name of the doll, but the devil inside the doll has been hiding in the darkness, silently observing everything that happens in the house.

To deal with the devil, it is useless to just deal with Annabelle. The solution of ordinary people, like the Warrens, is to find out the name of the devil and shout it out loud, so that the devil can be driven away and sent back to hell.

Here in Lin Bei, he certainly wouldn't use such a stupid method to deal with the devil.

What he wanted was to find the devil's true form in this house, then kill him and make him disappear completely from this world.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei bent down and picked up the baby. The baby seemed to sense a huge sense of security from Lin Bei. He did not cry because of the stranger touching him, but giggled instead.

A baby's laughter can heal everything. Mia, who originally looked tired and desperate, slowly raised her head and looked over with surprise.

"Oh my god, he...he didn't cry the first time a stranger hugged him. When he was baptized in the church, he cried when the priest hugged him..."

The Warrens looked at each other. From the moment Lin Bei entered the room, he had an inquiring look on his face, to now he looked calm. Lorraine Warren guessed that Lin Bei already knew what to do.

Lorraine Warren closed her notebook, folded her hands together, and asked with a faint smile.

"Lin Bei, it seems that you are confident. Is there anything you need me and Ed to cooperate with you?"

Mia didn't expect that the famous Warren couple would be so respectful to a little assistant. She couldn't help but feel curious. Could it be that this assistant was very capable?
Assistant Lin Bei is certainly amazing.

He is a human being who can kill any demon standing in front of him in seconds.

Lin Bei pondered for a moment, looked down at the baby in his arms, and said lightly.

"There is a way, but the devil is too cunning. He is eavesdropping on our conversation somewhere now. But I don't care. I need your cooperation, especially his."

After saying that, Lin Bei pointed at the baby in his arms.

The Warrens immediately understood what Lin Bei meant.

Demons target humans simply to take their souls. Newborn babies’ souls are often the purest in the world, and demons will indeed take the bait for the souls of babies.

However, I don’t know whether Mia agrees or not. After all, this also involves certain risks.

If you're not careful, the baby could really die.

Mia's face changed slightly. She was naturally worried, but when she looked at Lin Bei, she saw his calm appearance. For some reason, she suddenly felt extremely safe in her heart.

She took a deep breath and nodded carefully.

"Okay, I promise you, but I have a request. If your negotiation with the devil fails in the end, please don't hand over my child's soul. Let me take his place, okay?"

Lin Bei snorted and laughed, casually putting the child down. The sun had already set, and the already dim light in the room suddenly disappeared.

In the heavy darkness, Lin Bei's eyes flashed with a gleam, and his indifferent voice rang out.

"What are you talking about? Negotiation? I have no interest in negotiating with demons. Since I'm here, there is only one result. The demons here will be killed by me."

Lin Bei's words echoed in the house. Even the Warrens did not expect Lin Bei to say such arrogant words, but these words did give them a lot of confidence.

The Warrens got down to work immediately. They stood up and began to set up the venue at Lin Bei's request.

When the time came to eight o'clock in the evening, John came back. (End of this chapter)
