Having said that, Lorraine Warren looked at Lin Bei with admiration.
"In fact, after you are willing to perform exorcism with us, the significance of these collections will only be the meaning of witnessing this event. Lin Bei, you are the best exorcist I have ever seen. You are a child chosen by God. Thank you for joining the ranks of exorcists."
Lin Bei put his hands behind his back and looked at the people in front of him with a faint smile. He gladly accepted Lorraine Warren's thanks, then looked at Mia and John.
"Well, from now on there will be no more demons bothering you. Pay the reward and we should go back."
What is different from the original plot is that the Warrens no longer perform exorcisms for free through the introduction of the church. They will collect a portion of the fees after the commission is completed.
However, this still needs to be done under the supervision of church priests to prevent exorcists from charging fees beyond a reasonable range.
Mia and John were very grateful. They paid the money immediately, packed up their things in a hurry and moved out of the house that night.
As for this house, it will naturally be handed over to the local church. They will take over the house and make sure it will not affect people before listing it for sale.
Lin Bei and the Warrens also set out on their journey home.
When he got home, Lin Bei discovered that there was a guest in the house.
The guests were entertained by the Warrens' mother, who usually took care of the children and helped clean the house when they were out.
Lin Bei walked forward and found that the guest looked familiar.
The guest was a man, dressed very casually, with a sad look on his face, as if he had something to hide.
When the guest saw the Warrens, he stood up excitedly. He strode forward and shook Ed Warren's hand, his voice trembling.
"Mr. Ed, I've been to your lectures before, and I've seen the precious exorcism images you shared with everyone. I want to ask you, is this exorcism really effective?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bei's eyebrows twitched slightly. He already knew who this person was.
Isn't this Roger Perron in The Conjuring 1?
In The Conjuring 1, Roger Perron and his wife Carolyn Perron buy a house in Rhode Island.
The house was very cheap, which made Roger and Caroline Perron feel like they had gotten a bargain, and it also made their tight lives much more comfortable.
In this way, Peren and his wife moved into the house with their five daughters. Originally, this should have been a happy family of seven, leading a stable pastoral life.
But the good times didn't last long, and some strange signs gradually appeared in this house.
First, the family dog died inexplicably, the clock always stopped at 3:07 in the morning, strange bruises appeared on Caroline Perron's body, and the animals around the house would die suddenly because their necks were broken by something.
All signs indicated that there were serious problems with the house, but Roger Perron no longer had any extra money to buy a new one. Caroline Perron was a housewife, and their entire family depended on Roger Perron to support the family.
With no other options, they could only bite the bullet and continue to live there.
But it was not until the children expressed fear that strange people attacked them in the middle of the night, and even Caroline Perron behaved strangely, that Roger Perron could no longer sit still and decided to inform the church about it.
Through the introduction of the church, Roger Perron learned about the existence of the Warrens. Roger Perron was skeptical, but after watching Ed Warren's lecture, he made up his mind to ask the Warrens for help.
While Lin Bei was reminiscing, Roger Perron also told the Warrens about his family situation.
What he described was very similar to what Lin Bei knew.
What’s different from the original plot is that the situation of the Perron family is already very serious.
Even Caroline Perron couldn't even go out. She locked herself in the basement all day, didn't take care of the children, and just made strange roars in the basement every day.
This was enough to scare the children. When he said this, Roger Perron covered his face with his hands and his voice choked.
"Please help us. I am willing to pay all the money I have. Although it is not much, I really don't want to lose my wife and children."
When the Warrens heard this, solemn expressions emerged on their faces. Just by listening to Roger Perron's description, they knew that the situation was extremely serious. Even if they rushed over now, they might not be able to save Caroline Perron.
However, the two did not rush to draw a conclusion, but turned their heads and looked at Lin Bei who was sitting on the single sofa.
The Warrens didn't say anything, but Lin Bei immediately understood what they meant.
The evil spirit haunting the Perron family this time is more troublesome than the demon in Annabelle's body, not because of the difference in strength, but because this evil spirit has successfully possessed Caroline Perron, and the time interval has been a long time.
According to Roger Perron's description, it has been more than two months since Caroline Perron started behaving strangely.
The longer the evil spirit possesses a person, the slimmer the hope of rescue becomes.
The Warrens were obviously not completely sure they could rescue the person, so they asked Lin Bei for his opinion.
Roger Perron saw the Warrens looking at their assistant, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Bei introduced himself just now. He is just the assistant of the Warrens. Why do the Warrens seem to be seeking the advice of this assistant now?
Roger Perron was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He looked at Lin Bei with expectation.
For a moment, the living room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Lin Bei, expecting him to come up with a solution.
Lin Bei leaned on the sofa, his legs crossed and one hand on his knee. He touched his chin with his other hand and pondered for a moment before speaking softly.
"I know almost all the details. Since they have come to me for help, I can't just stand by and watch them die. I'll do as you say and pay you as much as you can. I guarantee that your wife and daughter will be fine."
Lin Bei's words were like a reassurance to everyone. Not only did the Warrens perk up and feel more confident, but even Roger Perron felt inexplicably more at ease.
He didn't understand what was going on, but since the assistant was sure, he would choose to believe it.
After all, at this point, he had no other way to save Caroline.
Without further ado, Lin Bei decided to leave immediately and follow Roger Perron to his home.
Mr. and Mrs. Warren also felt that the sooner the better. Moreover, it had been a day and a night since Roger Perron left home, and they couldn't imagine what life was like for the five children at home.
After getting in the car, the four of them rushed all the way to Rhode Island.
That evening, Lin Bei and his friends arrived at Roger Perron's home.
This is a quiet place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is only one house within a mile, and the house is surrounded by forests. It can almost be said to be isolated from the world.
As soon as the car stopped, Lin Bei got out first. He stood in front of the house and looked around carefully, then his eyes fell on a big tree not far away.
At this time, the others also got out of the car. They saw Lin Bei staring at the tree without moving. Ed Warren and Roger Perron were a little surprised.
Only Lorraine Warren's expression changed slightly, and like Lin Bei, she raised her head and stared at the eerie tree. Roger Perron was worried about his wife, so he walked to Lin Bei and urged him carefully.
"Mr. Lin Bei, could you please come into the house with me? I don't know how Caroline and the children are doing now..."
Lin Bei slowly lowered his eyes, glanced at Roger Perron indifferently, and chuckled.
"Don't worry, your children and wife are safe for now. It seems that the creatures here already know we are coming, so they can't wait to welcome us at the door."
Roger Perron didn't understand what Lin Bei said. In his eyes, the situation outside the house was no different from usual.
What Roger Perron didn't know was that as an ordinary person, he certainly couldn't see the problem.
Lin Bei and Lorraine Warren could see clearly that on the big tree outside the house, there was a gray shadow hanging. The shadow was swaying slightly in the evening breeze, and it looked eerie and terrifying.
Under the big tree, there were several other phantoms standing. They were all people who had been killed by the evil spirits here. Their souls were detained here and could not leave. They had to obey the instructions of the evil spirits.
Lin Bei also knew that these were just shadows projected here by the evil spirits, and they were actually still staying in the house.
The evil spirit did this purely out of provocation.
That's why Lin Bei was sure that Caroline Perron and the children were safe for the time being.
When Lin Bei and the Warrens set foot on this land, the evil spirits sensed their presence and even planned to use Caroline Perron as a bargaining chip to play games with them.
Lin Bei stared at the shadow that was gradually disappearing in the evening breeze, his lips curled up slightly in a sneer.
"How dare you challenge me? You are just an evil spirit, not even a demon. How dare you challenge me? I want to see what tricks you have to play on me."
After talking to himself for a while, Lin Bei walked towards the house under Roger Perron's nervous gaze.
The Warrens and Roger Perron hurried to catch up, and the Warrens whispered to Roger Perron, asking him if he had notified the local church and sent a priest over.
Roger Perron stepped onto the steps and nodded quickly: "I'll call them now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Roger Perron heard a familiar and gentle voice coming from inside the house: "Roger, where have you been? You haven't come back for a day and a night. Who are these people? Are they your colleagues? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you had guests coming so that I could prepare dinner for so many people in advance."
Roger Perron's face froze, then he slowly raised his head, looking past Lin Bei's figure in front of him and into the house.
It was late now, the sun had already set, and with no lights on in the house, the view was dim.
In the dim light, a thin, pretty woman in a cotton and linen floral dress stood at the entrance to greet them.
The woman smiled slightly, emitting a gentle aura.
Roger Perron felt a cold sweat instantly running down his face.
The person in front of him was his wife Caroline.
But this is not right. Caroline has been acting abnormal in the past few days. She has never stepped out of the basement. Even her food is prepared by her eldest daughter and delivered to the basement door.
What's going on now?
Why did Caroline suddenly return to normal?
Did the evil spirit let them go, or did the evil spirit leave after realizing how powerful the Warrens were?
Just when Roger Perron didn't know what to say, Lin Bei in front of him glanced up and down at Caroline and spoke lightly.
"Don't you know clearly what we are here for? Caroline, there is an evil spirit hidden in your body, and your consciousness has been affected by it. We are here to help you expel the evil spirit. What about your children? Will they be killed by you?"
The cruel words uttered in a calm voice made Roger Perron shudder, and even the Warrens couldn't help but look sideways.
The Warrens had known Lin Bei for a long time, so they naturally knew that he was a calm person with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Now that he suddenly spoke wildly, it seemed particularly incongruous.
However, the Warrens guessed that Lin Bei had his own reasons for doing so, so they did not try to stop him.
Among all the people present, only Caroline still had that gentle smile on her face. She slowly tilted her head and looked at Lin Bei with interest.
"This guest has an unusual face. Is he an Oriental? I don't understand what you are saying. Is this the etiquette of you Orientals? The children are sleeping upstairs. Come in quickly. I will prepare dinner."
Lin Bei sneered, walked around Caroline and went straight upstairs.
Of course, he said that on purpose.
His purpose is to provoke the evil spirit and make it show up. He has no interest in looking for the evil spirit hiding in the darkness. He prefers to confront the evil spirit head-on and then completely wipe it out.
Judging from Caroline's appearance, the evil spirit is no longer in her body, and has temporarily let her go. However, Caroline's mind and soul have been mostly infected by the evil spirit's filth, so now it looks a bit weird and inconsistent.
If it's not at Caroline's, then it could be in the children's room.
As soon as Lin Bei reached the second floor, he heard a child's shrill scream coming from a room in front of him.
The scream startled several people downstairs, and everyone rushed to the second floor.
Lin Bei was close by, so he took a quick step over and suddenly pushed the door open.
I saw two beds in the room. This was the room for two little girls. At this moment, a little girl was curled up at the head of the bed, holding her head with her hands, looking at the ceiling with horror on her face.
Lin Bei looked up and saw another little girl floating in the air. Her head was drooping and she was looking backwards towards the door.
The little girl's eyes rolled back and her gaze fell on Lin Bei. She suddenly curled her lips and revealed an evil sneer.
The next second, the little girl's arm began to twist and was about to be broken.
Lin Bei's eyes turned cold, he quickly raised his hand and activated the power of the Shadow King. Black liquid instantly surged out and flew towards the little girl in mid-air.
The black liquid wrapped around the little girl's body. The water flow was soft, but the movement was strong. The water flow protected the little girl's body very well, making it impossible for the evil spirit to cause any harm to her.
At the moment when the black liquid wrapped around the little girl, a translucent gray shadow flew out of the little girl's mouth at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
When the Warrens and Roger Perron arrived at the door, they saw Lin Bei using his strange ability to catch the girl floating in mid-air.
The little girl was already unconscious, her face was pale, and the situation was not good.
Lin Bei handed the girl to Roger Perron, then walked into the room and looked around.
It has to be said that the evil spirit was very afraid of Lin Bei, but couldn't help but provoke him. He hid himself very well, and even Lin Bei couldn't find his exact location for a while.
A cold, rough laugh suddenly echoed in the room. (End of this chapter)
