Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 301: All the horror movies are in this town

"Then he is indeed a qualified priest."

Xu Wang gave a professional evaluation of Father Jordan based on his own stereotype.

The man beside him was silent for a while, and finally chose not to continue the topic, and said: "Anyway, Songye Town needs a new exorcist priest now, and the bishop has assigned you.

Don't worry, it's just an ordinary small town. Over the years, Jordan has only applied for three official exorcisms.

Your term there is only one year.

After a year, someone will take over your job and ask you to come back.

This is a great opportunity for you.”

Xu Wang blinked: "Can I not go?"

The man refused decisively: "No!"

Xu Wang asked again: "If I go there, will anyone care about me?"

The man continued, "On the surface, you are just a deacon. But as an exorcist priest, your rank is almost the same as that of the dean. He cannot give you orders directly."

After saying this, the man saw that Xu Wang's eyes were visibly brightened, so he quickly added: "But he is older than you after all, and has more experience than you. It is best to listen to his advice when encountering things. The priest will also record your performance there.

Also, the churches in small towns are different from ours. They have fewer staff, and you also need to be responsible for the daily work of the church. ”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wang saluted immediately: "Yes, sir! I promise to complete the mission! I will definitely develop the church in Songye Town well!"

When the man saw Xu Wang's appearance, he fell into strange silence again.

He suddenly didn't want to let Xu Wang go.

He always felt that if he didn't keep an eye on Xu Wang, this guy would probably cause him some trouble.

But this personnel transfer was arranged by the bishop.

He had no choice but to obey.

"Okay, go gather your personal belongings and then we'll send it out. Here's your ticket."

The man handed Xu Wang a plane ticket.

The door of the small room suddenly opened.

The sunlight was shining in from outside, and a nun was standing there, motioning Xu Wang to follow her.

Holding the plane ticket in my hand, lines of flashing text suddenly popped up in front of my eyes.

[World identity: An exorcist priest in a southern diocese of the United States, a Chinese orphan whose parents were once involved in a cult ritual. He was targeted by the devil when he was 3 years old, so he was noticed by the bishop in a church orphanage.]

well.

This time the world's identity is clear.

At least it's much more realistic and clear than last time.

Now Xu Wang knew why the church entrusted him with such an important task.

There is no doubt that there are big problems in Songye Town.

As for the fact that he was being targeted by the devil, it was probably a secret in the church.

Maybe only the bishop here knows.

If there was no flashing text reminder, I would definitely not know it.

In this light, the bishop's behavior is somewhat intriguing.

But it doesn’t matter!
As long as it’s fun, that’s all!
Besides, Xu Wang also had an impression of this Songye Town.

His good boy Jason is at the Crystal Lake Camp next to Pine Leaf Town.

Even if there was no mission assigned by the bishop, he would have to go there.

Accompanied by the nun, Xu Wang returned to his room, took his ID, bank card, Latin Bible and various exorcism props, and prepared to leave.

Because of [world identity].

After Xu Wang traveled through time, the shelter uniform on his body had automatically changed into a black gown that Catholic priests often wear.

Before going out, Xu Wang looked at himself in the mirror.

He was wearing a black robe with a white Roman collar.

The lower body is matched with dark suit pants and leather shoes.

A sterling silver cross hung from his collar.

Even her hair was waxed and combed meticulously.

It’s true, if we ignore the fact that Xu Wang had sprained his neck, it would look like he had a stiff neck.

Pretty decent.

Maybe this is also the benefit of having good looks.

"Alright! Let's go."

Xu Wang tilted his neck and turned his head to grin at the nun who was waiting at the door to carry his luggage.

Seeing this, the nun was silent for a while, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and said, "Father Xu, do you want to take care of your neck first?"

Xu Wang readily agreed: "Okay!"

So, a few hours later.

After coming out of the airport, Xu Wang took a four-hour bus ride and finally arrived at Songye Town, where he would be taking up his post, wearing his neck brace.

The so-called neck brace is also called a cervical fixator.

It’s the thing Huang Bo wore around his neck in Lost in Thailand.

The main purpose is to limit neck movement, reduce pressure on muscles and ligaments, and relieve pain.

Although his injury was minor, it could be healed with just one shot from the Gun of Kindness.

But Xu Wang refused!
He thinks wearing a neck brace is fun and trendy.

If nothing else, at least he is conspicuous enough.

This remote town near the Mexican border is rarely visited by outsiders.

Xu Wang, who got off the car at this time, did attract the attention of many local people.

Their attention was first drawn to the neck brace on Xu Wang's neck.

Then I noticed Xu Wang, dressed as a priest.

The town has a total population of just over 4,200.

We have lived here for generations and know exactly who is in the town.

Any outsider will be noticed by them.

"You are Xu Wang, right? The new priest?"

A slightly hoarse male voice came from behind the platform.

Xu Wang looked back and saw a man who was about fifty or sixty years old, dressed like a priest like himself.

He forced a smile at Xu Wang and stepped forward and said, "I am Francis O'Donnell. I am the pastor here. Welcome to Songye Town."

"Hello, is there a welcoming party?"

Xu Wang's neck was supported by a neck brace. He couldn't lower his head and could only raise his chin slightly.

He walked up to Francis and shook his hand, and when they first met, he unceremoniously asked the priest to treat him to a meal.

Francis was stunned for a moment, as if he had never seen Xu Wang being so familiar.

But he refused without any hesitation: "Sorry, Father Xu Wang. I received your information by fax yesterday.

Perhaps you have some misunderstandings about this transfer. This is not Houston, and our church is not that luxurious. If you think you are here for a vacation, you may be disappointed! "

As he spoke, the old man's brows were deeply furrowed.

His first impression of Xu Wang was not very good.

Xu Wang didn't care about it. Instead, he took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. He walked up to the old priest and put his arm around his shoulders. He said proudly, "Don't worry! I know you guys are having a hard time. Look! I'm here now!

Since the bishop has sent me here, I will definitely build our church! Everything is up to me!"

After saying this, Xu Wang patted the old priest's shoulder hard.

This made Francis' expression darker.

He is a rather old-fashioned person.

I have an innate aversion to guys like Xu Wang.

"Let's go, Old F! Where's your car?"

Xu Wang asked.

Francis walked to the side of the road in silence.

There was an old second-hand Ford parked there.

It looks like it's worth only two or three thousand dollars at most.

Seeing this, Xu Wang exclaimed, "So you really have no money? I thought you were just pretending to be poor. Aren't all priests rich?"

Francis said nothing.

Without even waiting for Xu Wang to sit in the passenger seat, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out along the road!

Songye Town is surrounded by forests on the west, north and south sides.

It forms the shape of the Chinese character "匚". The whole town is half surrounded by it.

Xu Wang came down from the north.

At this time, we were sitting in Francis' car, driving south along the road, passing by the town square of this small town.

The car turned here and headed east again.

Just when turning the corner, Xu Wang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed the clock tower in the town square.

The hour hand on the clock tower remained at 3:07.

This made Xu Wang a little concerned.

"Old F, is the clock broken?"

Xu Wang asked Francis who was driving next to him.

Francis turned his head and took a look.

At this time, the time was half past five in the afternoon, and the time displayed on the clock tower was also the same. He frowned and said, "It's not broken."

"Is it okay?"

Xu Wang wanted to turn around and look at the time on the clock tower.

But the car had already driven away.

The neck brace made it impossible for him to twist his neck flexibly.

It is impossible to see what the bell tower looks like now.

The town is not big.

The old priest's second-hand Ford soon stopped outside the town church.

The car hasn't even stopped yet.

At the church door, a nun who was eagerly waiting ran towards this side anxiously.

Judging from her appearance, she is about thirty years old, with ordinary looks and some deep forehead wrinkles.

"Father, great! You're finally back! Have you received a new exorcist priest?"

As soon as Francis got off the car, the nun couldn't wait to ask.

Looking at the nun in front of me, I heard her mention Xu Wang.

Francis suddenly looked a little upset.

He even wanted to call the bishop of Houston and ask him to call Xu Wang back and replace him with someone else.

But looking at the woman standing at the church door behind Sister Margaret, he swallowed his anger and said stiffly, "He's in the car."

"Great! He's finally here! Thank God! If the exorcist priest doesn't come, you'll have to go there in person, or ask the church to send someone else."

Sister Margaret looked expectantly toward the passenger seat of the second-hand Ford.

Then the trunk popped open.

Xu Wang nimbly climbed out from the trunk.

He also made his hands look like pistols, looking like a secret agent.

When Margaret saw this, she was stunned for a moment.

Then she turned her head in disbelief and looked at the old priest next to her.

Although he didn't speak.

But the shocked look in his eyes expressed enough emotions: What the hell did you pull back? !

The old priest took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff with melancholy.

Watching the wisp of smoke slowly rising, Francis lowered his head and nodded to the nun.

Although he didn't want to.

But the bishop of this diocese did send Xu Wang here.

At this time, the woman standing at the church door also came over.

Her face was filled with sadness and haggardness. She looked at the old priest pleadingly, "Father O'Donnell, please! My daughter, my Liken, is not well now. She really needs help."

The nun next to her added, "Ms. McNeill came just after you left and has been waiting until now."

Francis looked at the woman in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You don't seem to be religious? Your daughter hasn't been baptized, right?"

McNeill was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little panicked, and stammered: "I, I am an atheist... I, I will definitely believe in religion in the future!"

Francis was about to say something else.

Xu Wang, who was standing beside him, stepped forward, raised his head and chest and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe in religion or not. That is a matter for the future. From what you said, your daughter is in some trouble, right? It's more important to solve your daughter's trouble first."

As soon as Xu Wang opened his mouth, everyone looked at him.

But Francis seemed a little dissatisfied with Xu Wang's words. He frowned and wanted to say something.

Xu Wang interrupted directly: "Enough, you don't even know the priorities. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! For people like us who practice cultivation, it is our duty to slay demons and eliminate evil!"

The old priest opened his mouth wide when he heard this: "What on earth do you believe in?!"

Xu Wang waved his hand: "I don't believe in anything, I just believe in myself."

"You, you, you! How could you say such a thing? God will punish you!"

Francis originally thought that Xu Wang was just a little eccentric in character, but now he didn't even have the most basic faith. He was so angry that he stuttered when he spoke!
This is a very serious matter for Francis!

"Alright, alright, if you have any questions, go ask the bishop directly. I'm going to do the exorcism first."

Xu Wang is used to doing his own thing and doesn't care about that.

He thought being a priest was fun and he could stay in the church and experience life.

But it doesn’t mean that Xu Wangzhen will convert to Catholicism.

On the contrary, the first exorcism incident he faces now is more important.

"Wait! Wait! You are not following the correct procedure. You cannot just go for an exorcism. You must first collect evidence, report it, and then get permission to perform an exorcism."

Francis saw Xu Wang pulling the woman away and no longer cared about Xu Wang's faith, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Let's go check it out first. We can only do what we can in an emergency."

Xu Wang pushed the still confused McNeill into the car and sat in the passenger seat himself.

The car was McNeill's own.

It's much better than the old priest's second-hand Ford.

The woman didn't know why the stranger Xu Wang suddenly started arguing with the old priest.

But he also knew that Xu Wang was here to help him.

Although Xu Wang looks very young and does not look like a priest.

But she had no other choice now.

In order to give it a try, he started the car directly.

The car was about to drive away.

The rear door was opened again.

Francis, with a gloomy face, came in and sat in the back seat without saying a word.

Xu Wang saw the old priest's ugly face in the rearview mirror and immediately said with a smile, "Why are you here too?"

Francis said coldly: "I am worried about you, I have to go and watch over you."

Seeing the old priest coming up, the woman in the driver's seat looked relieved.

Just from the image point of view.

Indeed, Francis looks more reliable than Xu Wang.

Although it was Xu Wang who spoke for him just now.

But when it comes to authority, most people do prefer elderly people.

The vehicle starts moving.

The McNeill family lived on Elm Street, the westernmost part of town.

This is a relatively concentrated residential area.

The architectural style of the house is close to Victorian style.

Ever since entering Songye Town, Xu Wang always felt that this town was gloomy and eerie.

Now that he saw the name of this block, Xu Wang finally understood why.

It reminds me of a world that is a world of European and American horror movies.

Then it’s clear what horror film this Elm Street points to.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street"!
Freddy the Fairy in the Dream!
Then think of Crystal Lake Campground just north of town.

And the eerie clock tower in the town square.

Could this town be the epitome of a horror movie? !
That would be interesting!

The more Xu Wang thought about it, the more excited he became.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and he couldn't let it go.
