Crossing at the same time, all nightmares start

Chapter 15: Barban, is there shit in your brain?
"careful!"

Peter shouted and hurriedly picked up the cross on his chest.

But before he could recite the spell, the girl in white had already pounced in front of the two of them.

next moment.

"Oh!"

The girl flew backwards at a speed even faster than when she came.

He hit the wall and lost consciousness.

"Oh, you scared the witch."

Matthew retracted his foot, patted Father Peter on the shoulder and went to check on the girl.

"Matthew, she's just possessed by a demon. How could you do this?"

Father Peter recovered from his shock and followed closely behind him.

"She'll get hurt."

"Those who are possessed are demons."

Matthew said lightly.

The girl lying on the ground at this time still had her face covered with hideous black blood vessels and her pupils were rolled back.

Apparently the demon hadn't left.

But after obtaining the magic circuit, Matthew's damage to spirits was greatly improved compared to before.

This kick knocked the demon unconscious.

So weak?
Matthew took the cross and placed it on the girl's forehead.

"In the name of the Father, the Savior, and the Holy Spirit, go to hell."

The girl twitched violently, and her face gradually returned to normal.

"The demon in this girl is a servant of Balban."

Peter explained seriously.

"The situation is not optimistic. The appearance of demonic servants proves that Balban's erosion of the real world is becoming more and more serious. We must speed up."

Matthew nodded.

"Then let's go and send that idiot Barban back to hell."

“Before this, there is one more thing. Once the demon is expelled, the possessed person will return to normal.

Could you please be a little gentler later, otherwise it might cause serious harm to those poor children."

"Peter, you are a saint, not a saint."

Peter's expression stiffened slightly.

Seeing that Matthew had already entered the next door, the priest glanced at the huge cross at the corner with his peripheral vision and hurriedly followed him from behind.

As the two left.

A slight friction sound echoed in the empty prison.

The cross that Peter had seen began to rotate slowly, and finally turned upside down little by little!

Two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of the eyes of the statue of Jesus on the cross.

The fingers moved slightly.

Along the way, more and more female prisoners possessed by demons appeared, trying to stop them from moving forward.

But they were all solved by the two of them working together.

As the battle intensified, Matthew's breathing became faster and his face turned pale.

He looks like he has kidney deficiency. No, he looks like he is physically exhausted.

After defeating several demon servants in succession, the two finally arrived outside the room where Balban was.

What was waiting for them was a nun with shriveled skin and golden pupils.

and a dozen female prisoners armed with kitchen knives.

"Peter, the situation is really not good. There are too many enemies and I am about to be exhausted."

Matthew looked serious.

"But we can definitely send that idiot Barban back to hell, right?"

Peter held the cross tightly in his hand, his expression firm, "We."

Before he could finish, a big hand slapped him on the shoulder.

"Peter." Matthew looked into his eyes seriously, his gaze seeming to reach the depths of his soul.

"Please remember, if you call upon God and receive no response, then you are your own God."

A hint of confusion flashed in Peter's eyes.

At this moment, the nun possessed by the devil suddenly screamed.

All the female prisoners under his command rushed towards them at the same time.

Even though Matthew's strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person, he still couldn't stop them all.

Due to a moment of negligence, Peter was knocked to the ground.

"Matthew, save me!"

The sharp blade pierced the flesh, and the smell of blood filled the air.

At the same time, heavy footsteps were heard.

Matthew turned back hurriedly.

A stone statue of Jesus with tears of blood in its eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, roaring.

The stone cross came down with a strong wind and hit him hard on the head.

"Crack!"

The cross is broken.

Matthew blinked, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, seemingly passed out.

"Sand, sand, sand"

From the darkness came the sound of heavy objects being dragged and the demons' unbridled laughter.

When Matthew opened his eyes again, he found himself tied to a chair with hemp ropes.

This is a dark room.

Dozens of candles formed a strange magic circle around him, and a group of female prisoners possessed by demons knelt on the ground and screamed outside the candles.

The target of this exorcism, Peter's daughter Penny, was standing not far away holding an upside-down cross.

"Wake up, he's awake!"

Penny, or rather the demon servant possessing Penny, screamed and rushed to Matthew in a few steps.

Staring at him with her head tilted like a zombie.

"Foolish priest!"

Penny slowly moved her face closer, her expression becoming increasingly ferocious.

Shouted loudly.

"Do you think that with this insignificant power of yours, you can fight against the Prince of Hell, Balban?"

"You spit in my face, and you should eat some celery."

Matthew frowned slightly.

"You're so arrogant."

"Rebel!"

"God's running dog!"

"Punish him, punish him!"

The surrounding demons immediately started to make noises. "Shut up!"

Penny roared, and the demons immediately quieted down.

"I hope you can be so calm later."

The woman glanced at Matthew coldly, raised the inverted cross, and uttered a rough and hoarse male voice.

"Our Father in hell, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in hell!"

As she chanted, waves of sulfur-filled air filled the room.

The candles around flickered wildly, and the candle flames, guided by an unsettling force, simultaneously leaned towards Matthew.

“Lead us into temptation and deliver us from evil, Amen.”

As the last prayer was finished, Penny pressed the inverted cross hard against Matthew's forehead, as if a priest was performing an exorcism.

The disturbing force suddenly surged up from the ground, carrying flames and crashing into his body.

And then, it just disappeared.

The expected scene did not occur.

Matthew sat in the chair unharmed.

"Tch, that's it?"

He was very familiar with the spell just now, which was often recited by the priest when performing exorcism.

It’s just that the demons changed heaven into hell and changed all the positive words into negative ones.

Could this be the prayer that Balban used to exorcise the gods?
"asshole!"

The demon possessing Penny didn't seem to expect that an exorcism spell would work immediately.

But Matthew's playful attitude made her furious.

He shouted angrily at the door.

"Bring in the other man."

There was a sound of clothes rubbing against the ground.

Father Peter, covered in blood, was dragged in from outside by several female prisoners.

"Peter?"

Matthew's eyes suddenly widened and his expression turned a little ugly.

Seeing this, Penny grinned and put the kitchen knife on Father Peter's neck.

"You two seem to have a good relationship, right? Could you bear to watch your best friend die in front of you?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Either give your soul, or both of you die."

His hand tightened, and the kitchen knife cut a hole in his skin.

"No, you bastard, stop it!"

Matthew seemed unable to keep his composure any longer and shouted angrily.

Peter on the ground raised his head, his eyes filled with fear and pleading.

The two looked at each other like this.

Full of passion.

After a while, the anger on Matthew's face gradually disappeared and he returned to his expressionless look.

"Forget it, this is too disgusting. I really am not suitable for acting. Kill him."

"What did you say?"

"Brother, are you interested in joining Heaven?"

Matthew patiently persuaded.

"Stab Balban in your hand to death. Take this as a token of your loyalty, and even God will open the door to heaven for you."

The room fell silent for a moment.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a while, all the female prisoners possessed by demons retreated respectfully at the same time.

Peter got up from the ground, waved his hand, and all the blood on his body disappeared.

The black priest's robe became spotless again.

"When did you find out?"

Father Peter smiled gracefully.

The brown pupils had somehow turned into snake-like golden vertical pupils.

Glowing in the candlelight.

Like lava in hell.

Matthew looked at him expressionlessly.

“Before going to jail.”

Peter, or rather Barban who possessed Peter, was a little surprised.

"So early? How did you find out?"

Matthew said nothing.

He can't be OOC, buddy. In the movie, Peter is a former church super exorcist who gets crazy when he hears about saving people or sees demons.

I would never say something like "They are still children, please be gentler."

Not even a coward like you.

It's fake at first glance.

"Don't want to talk about it? Then forget it.

After all, I am the winner in the end. You are tied up, and I am standing here, right? "

When Matthew didn't answer, Barban continued.

"You've clearly noticed me a long time ago, yet you're still so careless. Your arrogance is your downfall."

Matthew shrugged noncommittally.

"maybe."

"Oh, by the way, before we get down to business, I have a question for you."

"explain."

"Why didn't you react at all to the exorcism ritual I carefully prepared?"

"What reaction? Hysteria, agony?
Barban, what's wrong with you?
I am not Peter, and I don’t have God’s blessing in my body.

How could there be any other reaction besides the bad breath of your brain-dead servant making me uncomfortable?"

Matthew looked at Balban like he was a fool.

“If I’m not mistaken, you first used other people’s lives to threaten Peter.

Make him willingly trade with you and give up his soul.

Then control him to trick me into coming here?
Isn't the saint's body enough for you? Why are you looking for me? "

Speaking of this, Matthew suddenly thought of a possibility.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Barban's expression became a little strange.

“Matthew, who said there is only one saint?
Compared to Peter, you are the one truly chosen by God!
Soon the devils from hell will return to the world, and countless demons will covet your delicious soul.

And I was one step faster than them.

There may be some twists and turns now, but your soul will eventually belong to me!"
