Crossing at the same time, all nightmares start

Chapter 57: Child, this is not good

As soon as he entered the door, Matthew saw a series of small muddy footprints extending into the house.

The smell of rotten soil hits the nose, making people feel a little uncomfortable.

The two policemen in the living room breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two men.

Hurriedly find a reason to leave.

Only the woman with rotten mud on her face was left sitting on the sofa with a dull look in her eyes, constantly stroking her face.

Follow the muddy footprints and look into the depths.

In the dining room next to the living room, a little boy with purple-black skin and half of his face disfigured sat quietly at the end of the rectangular dining table.

The boy was covered in wet, rotting mud.

Holding a small iron spoon for drinking milk in his hand, his white eyes, which had begun to deteriorate, stared at the food on the table.

“On the day everyone was losing their minds, this boy died in a car accident, and I went to his funeral.”

It seemed as if she was afraid that the boy at the table would hear it.

Sheriff Furness leaned over to Matthew's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"But this morning, the family found him here, and there was an extra breakfast on the table for no apparent reason.

And two of my men said they saw him move.”

"how about you?"

The man swallowed, beads of sweat beading on his forehead.

“I, I saw it too.

You know, the police rarely allocate funds for this so-called "exorcism", and even if they do, they won't let a small sheriff like me decide.

It was because we saw it that we were willing to pay out of our own pockets.

We don’t want to be implicated.”

"First of all, priests are not allowed to perform exorcisms without the approval of the Holy See."

Matthew corrected seriously.

"So from beginning to end, I was just here to hold a funeral.

Just so that this poor child can sleep peacefully and no longer affect anyone else."

"Yes, you are right."

Seeing Matthew so calm, Sheriff Furness immediately respected him a lot more.

"So what do we do next?"

"Go find me two bags of cement."

Furness: ???

Bang!

The sudden noise attracted the attention of both men.

The cup of milk next to the boy fell onto the table, and the milk flowed all over the table.

The boy's hand moved forward a little at some point.

It was he who knocked over the cup.

"God, Father, did he move just now?" Sheriff Furness stuttered.

This sheriff is not very courageous.

"Seems to be."

Matthew moved closer curiously.

The little boy's skin and nails on his fingers were damaged to varying degrees.

It seemed like he had been digging in the coffin for several days before digging himself out.

"Have you detected any signs of life?"

"No, we, we're afraid of being bitten."

"Ok."

Matthew placed his finger under the boy's nose, checking his breath.

next moment.

"careful!"

As the sheriff exclaimed, the boy suddenly opened his mouth and bit Matthew's finger hard.

However, the imagined scene of blood flying everywhere did not appear.

A transparent magic barrier appeared around the fingers.

Several small teeth stained with black blood flew out.

The boy seemed unaware of this. After biting Matthew's finger, he did not let go and did not make any other movements.

Matthew expressionlessly took out a pair of brass knuckles with a cross engraved on them from his pocket with his other hand.

"Son, I don't think this is good."

The room was silent for a moment.

The boy moved his jaw, opened his mouth, and spit out his finger again.

But Matthew didn't let him go.

He tapped the fallen glass of water with his chin.

As Furness watched in horror, the boy's left arm moved stiffly.

He slowly straightened the milk cup and helplessly covered the spilled milk on the table with his muddy little hands.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Just barely passed." Matthew didn't look very satisfied.

Strolling back to Furness.

"You see, if you talk to them properly and reason with them, they will listen."

"Are you sure it's because of reason?"

Matthew compared his brass knuckles.

"That's the truth."

"Makes sense."

After entering here, Matthew confirmed his guess by the little boy's appearance.

A Latin American horror film, full of weirdness and mystery.

This movie was released very late, and there is no information about him in other worlds.

Matthew had only seen the explanation in a short video before traveling through time.

The story is a bit messy, but the director's filming skills are good, which does not prevent it from leaving a psychological shadow on the audience.

Some of the shots feel like that scene in Hereditary where Charlie's mother sawed off his own head.

Matthew therefore still had some impression of him.

You can't brush it during the day, and you can't hide it at night.

When he was watching it in bed that night, he didn't even want to go to the bathroom.

The culprit in this movie seems to be from hell and can use water to control other people's evil spirits.

It rained yesterday, and it's likely that this family bought a low-quality coffin, and the little boy's body was soaked in water and was controlled by an evil spirit.

That’s why we have the current situation.

The evil spirit plans to use him to amplify the fear in people's hearts in order to gain more power.

Simply purifying him will be useless, as long as people bathe or swim in the lake they will continue to be harmed.

But where is this evil spirit hiding?
Matthew couldn't quite recall.

Since the three demons were driven back by him, the other Solomon demons are unlikely to come over in the short term.

Matthew speculated that it might be because of the previous arrival of the devil and the sacrifice that summoned the dead that some evil spirits escaped from hell.

Compared to Solomon the Strong, the evil spirit is not as impressive.

However, this process still needs to be processed.

Isn't it an insult to his reputation to cause trouble on his territory?
Moreover, did the evil spirit pay the protection fee?

At this time, Sheriff Furness was about to ask his men to find a few bags of cement.

After what happened just now, he obviously trusted Matthew a lot more.

But Matthew stopped him in time.

As long as the evil spirits that are the root cause are solved, everything will naturally calm down.

He used cement and other things to scare ghosts.

And because of his own children crawling out of the grave again.

The boy's mother, Alicia, has gone mad.

When he learned that they were going to take the boy away again, he refused to agree.

It took Furness an injection of sedative to calm her down.

The man said that Alicia's mental state was unstable and he could make some decisions for her temporarily.

"Captain Furness, are you familiar with her?"

"We had a very good relationship for a while, but later on due to some reasons.
But we have always kept in touch, and now Alicia is divorced, of course, it has nothing to do with me."

It turned out to be an ex-girlfriend.

Matthew suddenly realized.

Subconsciously, he looked at the body of the little boy in the restaurant.

"Then this child."

"No, no, no, I'm not that kind of person, we're just friends!"

Furness hastened to explain.

Well, so you want to take advantage of other people's window period and sneak in?

Matthew patted his shoulder and gave him a look that showed all men knew.

After Alicia fell asleep, Matthew wandered around her house.

See if you can find any clues.

While walking around, he asked if there had been any cases nearby recently.

It was just as he expected.
