New Gods of North America.

Chapter 348 Room
Wayne couldn't see what Miss Olivia was going through.

In his vision of simple lines, he could only see that the invisible lines on Miss Olivia's body seemed to form some kind of fluctuations, and then through contact, that fluctuation was "connected" to the other person through resonance.

I feel that the working principle is somewhat similar to that of the 5-cent "lucky coin", but also seems a little different.

But her attempt proved to be effective.
About ten minutes later, she opened her eyes again, indicating that the "black shadow" had been lured into the trap and eliminated.

The exorcist priests came over to check on the other party and confirmed that the "contamination" on the other party seemed to be under control.
However, subsequent recovery may require auxiliary purification and treatment.

As to whether he can wake up, it is still unknown for now, but the situation is at least moving in a good direction.

It was already Thursday afternoon.
While waiting for the exorcist priests to confirm the situation, Wayne and his friends took the time to eat the lunch that Doug brought.

Today's menu is relatively simple, vegetable salad with bread, and Hans-style sausages bought from the butcher's shop. This is mainly because the chef has been dormant recently, so the food has to be closer to the "just enough to fill the stomach" mode.

Miss Olivia's share was taken from Wayne and Inessa. After all, we couldn't let the current main force starve.

The young lady was eating well at first, but suddenly she covered her mouth, as if she wanted to vomit but was too embarrassed to do so. After a while, she came back from the bathroom and couldn't help but complain, "What did you put on the sausages..."

Inesa took a quick look and quickly found the murderer. "You'd better be careful with Wayne's food in the future. Doug and the others might sprinkle holy water on it to 'season' it according to his taste."

what?
I was wondering why this sausage tastes a bit spicy.

After confirming that it was effective, Miss Olivia began to "treat" the victims one by one.
After she felt that her extraordinary power was almost exhausted, Wayne helped her to trick the exorcist priest into giving her an extraordinary power supplement. It was said that the cost of this thing was higher than that of high-level holy water, and it was considered an "emergency medicine" that was only equipped in small quantities by frontline combatants.
...and almost "sent Miss Olivia away".

After changing to another supplement, the "treatment" continued.

Fortunately, Miss Olivia's current extraordinary ability consumption is relatively low. According to Wayne, this may be because she is actually mainly "observing" and does not seem to have much impact on other people's inner world. She herself said that she cannot see things with closed doors and locks, and as long as she leaves the current room, the furnishings inside will automatically return to their original state.
According to the Hunter Association, the "interaction and impact level" of such extraordinary abilities is relatively low, so the consumption is not too great.

Some people were able to handle it quickly, but some seemed to have more trouble. According to Miss Olivia's description, when she was in someone else's "house", the speed of time flowed at least several times faster than in the real world.
But even so, the last few people worked until dawn.

Miss Olivia has hidden her merits and fame.
David Mills did not express his gratitude to Wayne and his old acquaintances, but only said that he would include the role played by the detective agency in the report.
Then they went back to rest.

Although Miss Olivia was tired at this time, she seemed very energetic. In the carriage, she chatted with the two men about some unusual scenes she saw in everyone's "houses".

Some of these guys seemed to have read a lot of books. There was even a large study room filled with books in the "house". Unfortunately, after flipping through a few of them, they were all blank.

Some guys are secretly vulgar. The props in some of the "rooms" are dazzling, and the murals decorating the walls are "unsightly". Miss Olivia felt a little embarrassed when she mentioned it implicitly.

Some guys' "houses" are very strange. The styles of the different rooms inside are not uniform. Sometimes they look like ladies' rooms, sometimes like gentlemen's residences, and sometimes they are as simple as hunter's cabins in the mountains. There are even slaughterhouses for processing prey and many dilapidated rooms.
As a result, she accidentally "fell" back to the real world twice - each "fall" meant that Miss Olivia had to consume her extraordinary power to "enter" again.

Wait,

Is there something wrong?

Wayne thought for a moment, "The 'Room' has many different styles, and there's also a person whose room collapsed. Is his name 'Macken Reeve'?"

This mix of several styles sounds a lot like the "building manager" in our dormitory.

Miss Olivia blinked slightly and said, "I didn't notice that..." Wayne showed a kind expression of a small workshop owner coaxing workers to work overtime for free:

"If you don't mind, shall we go back and confirm this again?"

……

After Miss Olivia's re-inspection,
Wayne had a preliminary grasp of the basic situation of the "house" in the heart of the "building manager" Macon Reeve.

Apart from the "basement" facilities that everyone has, there are about seven rooms of different styles in the building manager's place.

Then what "collapsed" were the four "spaces" in the house, including the so-called "hall" and three "rooms".

This result was inconsistent with what Wayne had learned before.
He had heard names of them, like "McCann," "Washington," "Cankers," "Georgia," "Missouri," "York," and "Tennessee."

Although there were seven in total, he was not sure whether to think of "McKen" as a "hall" or himself as one of the "rooms".
If it's the former, then there's another personality that Wayne hasn't heard of.

The collapsed "three-bedroom, one-living-room" apartment sounds even more wrong.
Wayne currently only knows that "Macon" and "Washington" have disappeared. Judging from the time, if Macon Reeve's condition continues to deteriorate, it is possible that one or two more personalities will disappear. The specific details may depend on whether he stops taking the potion given by Pastor Pycelle.

However, Macon Reeve is still in a coma, and we need to wait until he wakes up before we can confirm it.
Wayne has asked his friends in the Exorcism Department to help keep an eye on the matter, and Doug and Seth are still in the academy, taking turns to follow up.

There is another intriguing sign: in the corners of several rooms that were still intact, there were "bloodstains" that should only be found in the slaughterhouse.
Wayne didn't know how to interpret it, but it felt... like it didn't seem like a good thing.

After sending the great hero, Miss Olivia, to the manor, Wayne thought all the way back to the detective agency in the carriage.
Doug said that he had asked Connor to wait at the cathedral and try to return the results of the potion identification that Wayne had stolen from the college church last time.
At that time, at least we can use the process of elimination to determine whether we should continue to suspect Reverend Pycelle.

According to normal people's logic, if their things were stolen, most people probably wouldn't just give up and do whatever they wanted.

Unless that damn Mrs. LaLaurie really followed Wayne into the college church to smash and rob, Wayne would still blindly guess that it was Reverend Pycelle who was destroying the evidence.

I don't know what's going on with Lina now.

If the escort team can come back, the detective agency will still have more manpower.

But on the other hand, Wayne might also have to consider sending reinforcements. It is unlikely for a small force to rescue a large force, but at least they can retaliate against the enemy.

Wayne thought about this, and suddenly felt like something was wrong...

The remaining staff of the detective agency are myself, Inissa, Doug, Seth, Connor, and a little girl.

So Peter is now left alone without anyone to take care of him?!

Under the driving of Inessa, the carriage turned the corner smoothly, and the courtyard of the detective agency soon appeared in Wayne's sight.

Peter was riding on the wall of the courtyard.
After exchanging glances with Wayne, he just sat there, seemingly unsure whether to jump out quickly or turn back immediately...

Wayne didn't care about him. If Peter dared to step on the ground outside the courtyard tonight, Doug would put him on a wanted list tomorrow morning.
Then everyone goes after it.
