Crossing at the same time, all nightmares start

Chapter 19 Soul Calling
The Dodge Charger drove into the city and finally arrived at the exit of the train station.

It seemed that a train had just arrived, and there were already many people waiting at the door.

Matthew recognized one of the middle-aged couple at first sight.

They look exactly like in the movie.

Ed Warren and his wife, Lorraine Warren.

The famous exorcist duo from the Conjuring horror universe.

Peter appears to have known the Warrens before.

As soon as the car stopped, he got out enthusiastically and walked towards the two of them.

"Ed, Rowling, long time no see."

"Peter, it's so good to see you again."

At this time, Matthew also got off the car.

The Warrens looked at him curiously.

"Who is this?"

"Matthew."

Peter introduced them to the two reluctantly.

"An unreliable guy."

"Peter, it hurts me if you say that."

Matthew feigned a sad expression.

"Nice to meet you, Matthew."

“Me too, you should be Father Peter’s assistant.

It seems the priest is very strict with his assistant."

"Yes, Peter always picks on me because I'm more popular with the girls than he is."

The Warrens immediately laughed and shook his hand.

Seeing this, Peter wanted to explain, but when he met Matthew's gaze, he opened his mouth and finally sighed helplessly.

Last night Matthew accidentally saw a piece of news in the newspaper.

It is said that a family of five living in the suburbs of Santa Monica encountered strange paranormal phenomena.

The second daughter, Janet, was possessed by the soul of an old man named Bill and encountered many terrible things.

Demon experts Mr. and Mrs. Warren will be here to investigate today.

Judging from the news, this plot is likely to be the second film in the Conjuring series.

That's why he decided to make contact today.

Because in the second part, the Warrens' real enemy is not the evil old man named Bill.

Instead, it was Solomon's sixty-second demon god, Valak, who appeared in the form of a ghost nun.

Yes, another demon.

As soon as Balban left, Valak came.

Matthew felt that it was most likely directed at him.

In this case, let’s strike first.

As for Peter, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect that this guy actually knew the Warrens.

It would be better to take him with you.

The saint and the exorcist are duo, who would want to fight alone when they can just fight in a group?

After a while, they arrived at the address written in the newspaper.

Compared to its neighbors, this is a house that looks very old.

Apparently the homeowner was in financial difficulty and couldn't afford to repair the house.

Matthew remembered that in the movie, the owner of the house was a single mother named Peggy whose husband ran away with a neighbor. She raised four children alone.

The situation is also correct in reality.

At this time, single mother Peggy was already waiting outside.

Waiting with her was Morris Gross, another demon researcher who had come to help earlier.

Seeing several people coming down, the woman hurried to greet them.

There was a hint of crying in his voice.

"Great, you're finally here."

"Don't worry, ma'am."

Mr. Warren nodded gentlemanly.

"We have been commissioned by the church to investigate the supernatural phenomena in your home.

I'm afraid I need your cooperation.

The two behind us are the priests who came to assist, Peter and Matthew."

After a round of clichéd introductions and greetings.

Peggy entered the room with a few people.

The worn leather sofa in the corner of the living room caught Matthew's attention.

If he remembered correctly, this was where one of the evil old men bound by Valak was staying. Now the evil spirit was following a little girl and did not appear on the sofa.

Same plot as in the movie.

Mrs. Warren found the little girl Janet, who was haunted by an evil spirit, in the back garden of her house.

Mr. Warren, Matthew and Peter, led by the landlord Peggy, came to a room whose door was locked with a thick iron chain.

That is the center where all supernatural events occur.

Everything in the room was destroyed by some force and was in tatters.

The surrounding walls are covered with countless crosses of various sizes.

According to Peggy, these were donated by neighbors.

But looking at the situation in the room, it was obvious that these crosses were of little use.

"Father Matthew, such a serious matter has occurred in the parish you are in charge of, and you don't even know about it?"

Peter said dissatisfiedly.

Matthew frowned, he also noticed the problem.

There are many brand new crosses on the wall, which look like they were just bought.

But he remembered that he hadn't sold many in the past few days.

Is there some bastard secretly stealing his business?

Matthew was immediately furious.

heresy!

No, that's not the point.

Matthew quickly pulled his thoughts back.

Even if someone is stealing their business, if something like this happens, the neighbors will definitely go to the church for consultation.

He is the only church in Santa Monica, why didn't he receive the news?

Is it interfered by some force?

Thinking of this, Matthew turned his head and asked.

"Peggy, after the paranormal events at home, why didn't you go to the church for help?"

"Why don't you go to church?"

The woman's eyes were full of confusion.

"Yes, I consulted the media and an exorcist. Why didn't I consult a priest?"

Hearing this, Mr. Warren and Peter looked at each other.

They also realized the problem.

Matthew's frown deepened.

Sure enough, something was causing trouble.

Who did it? Valak?
Why did he do this? Was he afraid that what was happening here would attract him and affect Balban's plans?

Now that Balban has been evicted, he won’t act anymore?

He thought it was very possible.

But none of that matters now.

Looking at the countless crosses on the wall, Matthew felt very sad.

How much would it cost if I asked him to buy all these crosses?
One is five hundred, ten are five thousand, and fifty are twenty-five thousand.

If you use 25,000 as capital to start a business, the profit will increase tenfold to 250,000.

Take this 250,000.
Matthew just felt like he had lost 100 million.

This bastard Valak actually made him lose 100 million in profit!

And found that Matthew's expression was not good.

Mr. Warren did not press the question of his identity at the previous meeting.

Lead everyone out of the room and back to the living room.

This time he came not to exorcise the devil, but to investigate.

Because nowadays there are too many people who deliberately fabricate supernatural events in order to gain attention.

This led to the church introducing new regulations, requiring all priests to obtain church approval before performing exorcisms.

The basic basis for the church to agree to exorcism is to find conclusive evidence of the existence of evil spirits.

They were there to record the evidence.

Mr. Warren took out a VCR and set it up in the living room.

At this time, Janet, a little girl possessed by an evil spirit, walked in accompanied by her mother.

As soon as the girl came in, Matthew saw a translucent old man with gray hair following behind her.

As if noticing Matthew's gaze, the old man moved his eyes and looked at him with malice.

Then he raised his hand and gently touched his neck, laughing sinisterly.

Matthew laughed too.
