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

Chapter 322 The Priest, the Fish, and the Videotape
Using his money power, he successfully discovered Jason's identity and got him enrolled in Salem Memorial High School.

As Jason's male mother, Xu Wang feels very satisfied with this.

Now the lives of the witch Carrie and the boy who killed a hundred people are back on track.

No matter what choices they make in the future.

At this age, it’s time to enjoy campus life.

Even though this time may be sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

But looking back decades later, it is always an unforgettable time.

The school is looked after by the principal and Carrie.

Xu Wang was not afraid that anything might happen to Jason, so he planned to go and say hello to Jason and then go back to the church to do his own work.

Walking all the way to the classroom door, Xu Wang poked his head inside.

The first thing I saw was Jason holding a machete in his hand.

With his two-meter-tall burly figure, he cornered a group of elementary school students who looked like little chickens in the corner of the classroom.

As a result, Xu Wang's ears were filled with the screams of these little kids.

"Jason!"

Xu Wang stood at the door and greeted loudly.

Jason turned around when he heard that.

Xu Wang waved at him again and said, "Study hard in school and build good relationships with your teachers and classmates. If there is any problem, just tell the principal directly and he will handle it.

That's it. I have things to do, so I'll go back first."

As he spoke, Xu Wang glanced at the group of children in the corner who were frightened by Jason.

I found that there were several little boys there who looked very familiar.

If you take a closer look, isn't this the "Bad Guys" team from the classic horror film "IT"?

Unexpectedly, they were so coincidental that they were classmates with Jason.

Now it gets interesting.

Since this group of four bad guys are also in Songye Town.

Then there is a high probability that the famous clown demon Pennywise is also in the sewers of Pineleaf Town.

In the original plot of "IT".

This group of children, relying on courage and friendship, managed to temporarily defeat Pennywise with great difficulty.

But now there is another Jason.

I wonder what Pennywise would think.

Xu Wang is looking forward to this.

He smiled at the four kids, but the four bad guys' hair stood on end.

Seeing this, Xu Wang felt that he had successfully scared the children, so he left the school and drove to the church.

When Xu Wang returned to the church again.

I found that quite a few people had gathered in the open space outside the church.

A good town church was turned into a weekend market by them.

The group was noisy and chattering around Father Francis.

When Xu Wang drove back, the old priest finally breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed in Xu Wang's direction and said loudly, "Father Xu Wang is back. If you have any questions, go to him directly."

The townspeople looked and saw that it was really Xu Wang who returned.

Immediately, they all rushed towards Xu Wang with shining eyes.

Soon, Xu Wang felt the way Francis had just been treated.

There were dozens of people here, each of them chattering non-stop beside Xu Wang.

Although I didn't hear it in detail.

But just by listening to it, Xu Wang knew that this group of people were indeed coming for the luxury cars in the yard.

Today, Xu Wang put on a really big show at Luo Shan's house.

It's just a Songye Town, not that big in itself.

Any news would quickly spread to every household in the town.

What's more, it was news like Xu Wang's, which was both rare and beneficial.

That's like adding wings to a story, and everyone in the town knows about it.

These people came here because they heard that as long as they provided information about supernatural events, they could choose any luxury car.

Facing the burning gazes of the people around him, Xu Wang waved his hand and called Francis who was watching the show to come.

Then he jumped up and rode directly on the old man's shoulders!
The old priest was startled and tried to steady himself to avoid causing Xu Wang to fall.

Xu Wang didn't care about it.

He looked down at the people around him, holding a small loudspeaker in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, look at me! I have an announcement!"

The effect was immediate. Everyone stopped talking temporarily and looked up at Xu Wang who was riding on the old man.

"I know why you are all here! But let me be frank, I only need real and credible sources of clues. If I have confirmed that it is false information many times, I will disqualify him from the award!
So you'd better not take any chances."

After saying that, Xu Wang jumped down from Lao Fu's head and turned to walk towards the church: "Okay, those who still want to submit information, line up and follow me."

Seeing Xu Wang went back to the church after saying this, a group of townspeople outside the church looked at each other for a while.

Some people turned and left.

Some people followed Xu Wang directly.

Some people hesitated for a while, then gritted their teeth and followed.

In the end, only Francis stood there and shook his head.

Xu Wang’s eagerness to exorcise the devil is a good idea.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t think this method is useful.

If someone in the town really encountered a supernatural event, they would definitely come to the church for help.

To Francis, this seemed unnecessary.

But since this is what Xu Wang wanted to do, he would not say anything. Instead, he would give as much help as possible.

Who said he was Xu Wang?

Inside the church confessional.

Xu Wang sat in the compartment, waiting for the townspeople outside to arrive.

It was his first time in the confessional.

When I just sat down, everything I saw was new to me and I couldn't help but look around subconsciously.

The confessional makes extensive use of wood.

There are traces of time and years of use everywhere.

The so-called confessional can be thought of as a small enclosed room divided into two halves.

The side of the room facing outward is used by believers.

The long, narrow kneeling stool was covered with a thick, faded velvet blanket.

The knee area has been worn out by believers over the past two hundred years, leaving a noticeable dent.

Originally, there should have been an oak carved partition in the middle of the two small rooms for believers and priests to block the view of both sides.

Because of the constraints of the Catholic Code.

When believers come to church to confess, the priest who listens must keep all secrets for the believers.

Even if the other person has killed someone and is feeling uneasy, he or she wants to come to the church to seek peace.

The priest must not go to the police to report the case.

To Xu Wang, this kind of thing was somewhat incomprehensible.

But that's how their religion and society work.

For this reason, the existence of partitions is actually to protect believers while providing a safe environment for believers to reveal their inner thoughts in the confessional room.

There is a partition in the middle.

The priest opposite didn't know who he was either.

It is natural to let down your guard and say whatever you want.

However, the situation was a little different today. The people who came over were not believers, but Xu Wang's "informant".

Then it doesn't matter whether it is confidential or not.

Xu Wang didn't want to talk to a piece of wood, so he just pushed the middle partition open and waited for the townspeople to arrive.

Not long after, there was an obvious quarrel and noise outside the room.

Finally, it was stopped after being persuaded by Father Francis and Sister Margaret.

It seems that the queue is not going smoothly.

No matter where you are, there are always people who want to cut in line.

After waiting for a while, a man with a happy face finally walked in.

He knelt respectfully on the kneeling stool, looked at Xu Wang, and said quickly: "Father, I know that more than ten years ago, a homicide case with multiple deaths occurred in Crystal Lake..."

"stop!"

Before the man could speak, Xu Wang raised his hand to interrupt him: "I know what you are talking about. A murderer wearing a hockey mask, right? He is my son.

There is no need to talk about Crystal Lake, but is there anything else besides this?"

"what?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of disbelief: "Your son? How is this possible?"

Xu Wang waved his hand: "If there are no other clues, let's go to the next one."

The man hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't think of anything, so he had to leave with regret.

After the man left, Xu Wang called Wall-E in again, gave it a small loudspeaker, and asked it to go out and tell the people in line that if it was about Crystal Lake, they didn't need to come in.

Wall-E was very obedient. He held up the trumpet and went out.

as predicted.

As soon as the news spread, another group of people left outside.

Next, more people entered the confessional room one after another.

They told Xu Wang all the information they knew about the supernatural events.

Xu Wang wrote down all the information in a small notebook.

Wait and check them one by one later.

If it is true, they can come and choose the car.

Although Xu Wang was not very optimistic about this.

Because there was no movie plot that Xu Wang felt was familiar with.

However, the possibility of other local supernatural beings causing trouble cannot be ruled out, so Xu Wang did not kill them all with one blow.

Just like that, an afternoon passed.

Xu Wang felt a little regretful.

I thought this might be a good idea, but my luck might not be good as I didn’t come across any really useful information today.

When he was about to leave for dinner.

A young man wearing a hood and looking like he wanted to hide his appearance walked in from outside.

The young man was visibly stunned when he saw that the shutter in the confessional was open.

He pointed at the baffle and stammered, "Father, shouldn't this be closed?"

Xu Wang was puzzled: "Aren't you here to provide supernatural information? You don't let me see your face. If the information is proven to be true, how will you get the car?"

The hooded young man was obviously stunned again. He said, "I am here to confess."

"Oh! Finally a believer who uses the confessional normally comes! Sa! Count your sins!"

Xu Wang was also quite excited about this.

After saying that, he directly pulled down the middle baffle.

After listening to supernatural stories for an afternoon, Xu Wang became very interested in the gossip stories of this young man.

After the baffle was pulled down, Xu Wang reached out and knocked on the door: "Okay, please start your performance."

The hooded young man on the other side of the baffle suddenly didn't want to continue.

I always feel that Father Xu Wang is unreliable.

But since he was here, he hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and said sincerely: "Father, I have sinned..."

Hearing this, Xu Wang cleared his throat and also got into the mood: "I will forgive you, speak freely."

Hooded youth: “?”

He always felt like something was wrong.

But the atmosphere was already like this, and he could only continue: "I went fishing by the river seven days ago. I caught a fish. It was my first time fishing, and I was very happy!
It's just that I feel like there's a connection with the fish, you know? It's just that I feel chosen by it. It's slippery and feels good.

My friend asked me to throw the fish back into the river, but I couldn't do it.

So I tricked my friend and threw a stone into the water and pretended to release the fish.

I actually stuffed the fish into my pocket and took it home..."

Having said this, the hooded young man paused noticeably.

But Xu Wang had already heard it. He was curious to begin with, so he couldn't help but ask, "And then?"

He knew that the latter part must be the key point.

Sure enough, the hooded young man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, “The fish is no bigger than when I was hard, but it’s there… you know, even though it’s weird.

But it was warm and shivering, and its scales were beautiful.

You know, I feel like it's the devil tempting me.

I spent the next week with my fish until my room was filled with the smell of fish.

My dad found out about this and asked me to throw the fish away.

I did so, but I felt very guilty and sad about it.

Father, do you think God and the fish will forgive me for this?"

Behind the baffle, Xu Wang listened quietly and almost felt stunned.

Although people's XP is free.

But this guy is a little too free.

Xu Wang commented very sincerely: "If someone wants to film Aquaman or Deep Sea in the future, you will definitely be the best choice. I don't know whether God will forgive you, but that fish will probably die with regret."

The hooded man on the other side of the partition panicked when he heard this.

He actually didn't care much about God's forgiveness. If the fish didn't forgive him, he would be even more sad.

As if remembering something, the hooded man suddenly said, “I think I’m still normal. At least the fish is beautiful, alive, and a living thing.

That day, my friend who went fishing with me caught a videotape.

Since that day, I haven't seen him for seven days.

This has never happened before!

I guarantee it! His sexual quirks are definitely much weirder than mine!"

The hooded young man seemed to be trying to excuse himself.

But these words made Xu Wang behind the partition suddenly think of something.

In Songye Town, a place that embodies all horror movies.

When Xu Wang heard the two key words "videotape" and "seven days", it was really hard not to associate them with the movie "The Ring".

After all, there was an American version of this thing.

And it was filmed pretty well.

"Swish" sound!
Xu Wang suddenly pulled up the barrier between the two of them and stared closely at the fish-loving boy outside.

This action scared the hooded young man outside!
"what are you doing?"

Xu Wang supported himself on the wooden platform with both hands, leaned forward, and asked seriously: "Tell me about that videotape again. Do you still remember the details on it?"

The fish-loving boy was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why Xu Wang was also paying attention to this videotape, he still tried hard to recall it.

After a long while, he said, "I just remember that the tape seemed to have [RING] written on it."

"That's right! It's The Ring!"

Xu Wang clapped his hands in surprise!
All my efforts this afternoon were not wasted.

The American version of Sadako was caught by him!
