Crossing at the same time, all nightmares start

Chapter 56: Strange and suspicious?
"Haha, I missed you too, Matthew. I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been able to take care of you. Is your work in Santa Monica going well?"

On the other end of the phone, Bishop Balducci spoke as familiarly as the uncle next door.

"Thanks to you, it went very smoothly."

Matthew deliberately emphasized the word "smoothly".

"A few days ago, a family announced that they had experienced a supernatural event.

When I went over there, the evil spirit that possessed that family actually said that he was the demon god Valak who sold ditches in hell!
Guess how I did it?"

Balducci paused for a moment, and his voice gradually became serious.

It seems like he has made some preparations.

"So, how did you do it?"

“Of course I exposed them harshly!
Fuck, there is no such thing as a supernatural event. This family just wants to cheat some money by doing this.

Uncle Bowducci, you told me that there are no ghosts in this world, right?
Besides, if Valak really existed, why would he be selling ditches? Who was his client? Balban?

"Well, you're right, Valak is a hermaphrodite, not only... ah no!"

The old man corrected hurriedly.

"There are no ghosts in this world, kid."

"I'm telling you, Uncle Balducci, you know some asshole burned that thing down outside Santa Monica a while back.

Everyone was high.

Something happened. Emmmm, and I have to go to the funeral, so why not hang up first? "

"Wait, I do have something.

In a few days, the church will allocate a grant of about $10,000 to the orphanage in Peter’s area. I will give you the money and you can arrange it yourself.”

Matthew:? ? ?
Something seems wrong!
"Wait, the funding for the orphanage? What about the one before that?"

"Yes, they are all from his side. Peter has applied for them many times.

Oh, look at my brain. I’m getting older and my memory isn’t very good. I don’t think I told you before.

But don't worry, I allocated him a separate relief fund of more than $1,000 a few days ago. I can handle all of this.

Old Crystal asked me to take good care of you before he left.

Go ahead and do your work. I'm going to hang up now."

Bishop Balducci smiled meaningfully.

"toot toot"

There was a busy tone on the other end of the line.

Matthew's face looked grim.

He never expected that what he had previously embezzled was actually the subsidy for the orphanage?

This old fellow Balducci misled me!
Although some points were deducted before, he had a bottom line.

It's such a scumbag to take money from orphans.

After some psychological struggle, Matthew
Holding his aching heart, he entered "20000" on the transfer interface.

The recipient is Peter.

Soon Peter's phone call came.

"Matthew, what are you doing?"

"The New Year is coming soon, and I want to give this little gift to the children in the orphanage." Matthew said expressionlessly.

"But this is too much. I can't..."

"Don't forget, I have someone above me. If you don't take it, I will detain it."

"Haha, Matthew, you are such a good person. Thank you on behalf of the children." Peter hung up the phone decisively.

Miles, who had recovered at some point, was secretly watching Matthew out of the corner of his eye.

"What are you?"

Miles immediately closed his eyes.

"Heretics, be baptized!"

Matthew raised his sword angrily and thrust it in hard.

There was another burst of holy light and explosion.

After an unknown amount of time, Matthew finally walked out of the basement calmly.

He regained his human appearance, looking righteous and upright.

There was nothing unusual at all.

Although the transformation of Miles was not successful, he found the trick after repeated failures.

I believe that after a period of time, the experiment will be successful.

Sure enough, there is no better experimental subject than an undead killer like Miles.

Now all he has to do is go out and host funerals to earn some money.

The demons' previous plan was for Barban to occupy Matthew's body and for Baimon to occupy Peter's body through Charlie.

Valak followed behind to drink some soup and take a Mr. Warren. Then, through Balducci's operation, they were packaged as heroes who defeated the devil, and through this achievement, Barban and Baimon successfully infiltrated the inner circle of the Church.

Balducci even falsified Matthew's resume to make it appear that he was an outstanding seminary graduate who was discovered and recommended by himself.

By then, with the help of the devil's power, he can rise to prominence by virtue of his achievement in discovering two outstanding priests.

Make a bigger layout in North America.

Everything was going well until something unexpected happened on Matthew's side.

And because he had put so much effort into binding himself to Matthew, it was difficult for Balducci to find excuses such as "falsified academic qualifications" or "embezzlement of public funds" to fire him.

The money Matthew withheld was rebated to him!

Twenty percent!
So now, in order not to delay the overall layout of hell, Balducci's attitude towards Matthew is to leave him alone as long as he doesn't run around.

At most I'll feel angry and disgusted.

As long as Solomon's seventy-two strong men successfully arrive.

Isn't it that he, with his "celebrity face and perfect measurements", is at the mercy of others by giving it away for free to this chick?

Matthew guessed it too.

He was destined not to let this old man get his wish.

But Balducci now owes him two hundred million dollars!

Including interest, two hundred and twenty million!

As for why it was 200 million? It's normal to add a few zeros to the 20,000 dollars transferred to Peter!

And there's that old man God. If it weren't for him, I would have been having fun somewhere else. How could I have a group of Solomon strongmen drooling at my heels?
God's power had saved him from danger temporarily.

But he has also done a lot of work, and this is the salary for working for heaven, so one thing should be treated separately.

He, Matthew, holds a grudge!

Armed with exorcism tools like the Bible, holy water, and brass knuckles, Matthew left the church and drove his second-hand Ford to the other side of Santa Monica.

The client holding a funeral today is quite special.

He, a professional, must come on stage.

Along the way, some Santa Monica residents held signs on both sides of the road, demanding further compensation from the California government for previous accidents.

There are still a small number of people who think that what happened some time ago was not as simple as being set on fire.

They thought it was a supernatural event.

And posted various posts online.

Of course, this sound was quickly suppressed by some unknown force.

Arrive at the destination.

A bearded police officer was already waiting at the door, a hint of fear still lingering in his eyes.

Santa Monica's new police chief, Furness.

The former sheriff Blake quit his job due to the death of his daughter.

He left home with his wife.

Matthew felt that this decision was absolutely correct.

In a horror movie fusion world like this, the time travelers are definitely the most dangerous around.

"Matthew."

"Furness."

The two men shook hands briefly and introduced themselves, and the man took him to the house in front of them.

When he reached the door, Inspector Furness hesitated.

"Matthew, nothing can scare you, can it?"

"Who said that? Let's go in and take a look first." Matthew did not comment.

If seventy-two Solomon men suddenly appeared in there, they might really scare him.

Of course, the possibility of this is almost zero.

When he heard the description in the morning, he probably guessed what he was encountering this time.

"Before coming to Santa Monica, I had some interactions with Mia and her husband, and they mentioned you. I hope you can help me this time."

"So it was an acquaintance who introduced you. Then you must know how much I charge, right?"

The man pulled out a thousand dollars from his pocket.

"I know, five thousand dollars an hour, you said it on the phone.

We have already gathered the money, as long as you can solve this matter, this is the deposit."

"The Lord will bless you."

Matthew finally laughed and patted Sheriff Furness's shoulder affectionately.

"Don't worry, even if Valak comes, we will send him back."
