Chapter 355 Physical Exorcism

Seeing his only hope defeated by Du Mu, Jack flew into a rage, pointed his finger at Du Mu's nose, and began to curse him.

"You damned charlatan..."

""

I advise you to think carefully before you speak.

Du Mu's eyes suddenly flashed with a blinding white light, and he looked at Jack with a kind and amiable smile.

Jack froze for less than a second, then knelt down with a thud: "Great Father! Please save my daughter!"

He wasn't stupid. The man in front of him had eyes as bright as searchlights; he was clearly no ordinary person and was much stronger than that priest who had been brought down by the Bible.

Du Mu's face suddenly turned cold: "Too late. I think I just heard you cursing me. Now I've changed my mind and don't want to help anymore."

"I'm sorry, Father, I was so anxious I lost my mind. I confess to you!"

Jack said in a panic, "If you're willing to save my daughter, I'm willing to donate five million to the church. I know that a devout clergyman like you has no interest in money, and using money would be an insult to your noble character, but this is the only thing I can offer."

Upon hearing this, Du Mu's expression changed slightly, and he sighed softly, "Fine, considering how much merit you have, I'll help you this once. Money doesn't matter; the main thing is that I can't stand seeing demons committing evil deeds in the human world."

"Oh right, I'll send you the account number later, you can just transfer the money directly."

Jack was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Father, thank you, Father, for your great kindness."

'

Du Mu raised his hand to interrupt him: "Alright, stop dawdling, let's set off now."

Jack quickly nodded: "Okay, Father, please take my car, I'll get you there right away!"

Du Mu waved his hand: "No need, I have my own carriage."

A moment later, Jack watched as Du Mu got into an extravagantly designed supercar.

Jack:

'

""

Are priests all this rich these days?

Jack's home is located in the western part of the metropolis; it is a rather impressive detached villa.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Jack quickly led Du Mu into the villa. A haggard-looking woman walked towards them; she was Jack's wife, Catherine.

Seeing her husband return, Catherine's voice trembled: "Jack, you're finally back. Lily was screaming in the room. Father said he had contacted someone who could handle this and went out to pick her up. I'm all alone at home, and I really don't know what to do."

"It's alright, Catherine, I've already invited a priest; he can exorcise the demon for us."

After comforting his wife, Jack immediately turned to Du Mu, his tone almost pleading: "Father, I entrust my daughter to you."

Du Mu nodded calmly: "Don't worry, the Lord will protect your daughter. Take me to see her."

"Okay, okay."

Jack quickly led Du Mu up to the second floor of the villa.

Before they even reached the door, a mournful howl came from the bedroom inside.

As Du Mu pushed open the pink door, a chilling and evil aura immediately rushed out.

Following the direction of the breath, a girl in a white nightgown was lying on the bed, her limbs tightly bound to the four corners of the bed frame with strips of cloth. She was twisting wildly and making hoarse screams.

The girl noticed someone entering and a pitiful expression appeared on her face: "Daddy, Mommy, I feel so bad, please help me untie this..."

'

"Lily, just bear with it a little longer."

Although Jack was heartbroken, reason told him that he must not loosen those strips of cloth.

The next second, the girl's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and her voice became rough and shrill: "Let me go! Let me go! I want to get out!"

Jack jumped in fright and quickly looked at Du Mu: "Father, what do we do now?"

Du Mu didn't answer, his eyes fixed on the girl, and he sneered, "Stop pretending. I can tell you're not human at first glance, you audacious monster! I'll expose your true form!"

After saying that, he grabbed the cross on his chest and pointed it directly at the girl.

But the girl didn't react at all and continued to scream at the top of her lungs.

Du Mu thought to himself, "Movies are all lies. They said even demons are afraid of crosses."

Jack asked cautiously, "Father, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, a minor issue."

Du Mu calmly said, "This demon is quite powerful. An ordinary cross won't do anything to it. Don't worry, I have a backup plan."

He put the cross back on his chest and then picked up the Bible, which was so thick it could be used as a brick.

Just when everyone thought he was about to open the Bible and begin reciting sutras to exorcise demons, Du Mu suddenly grabbed the arm and slammed the heavy Bible hard into the girl's face.

Bang!

The force was considerable; the girl swayed to the side, and even the bed frame creaked.

The screams stopped abruptly.

Jack and Catherine both opened their mouths wide.

Shouldn't the Bible be used for magic exorcisms?

How did it turn into a physical exorcism?

The next moment, they saw their daughter slowly turn her face towards them.

The face no longer resembled a young girl at all; it was a lifeless, ashen white, with features distorted beyond recognition. The pupils of her eyes were barely visible, leaving only large areas of white with a tiny black dot in the center of each eye.

This is clearly the true face of demonic possession.

Upon seeing this, Catherine screamed and almost fainted on the spot.

Jack quickly helped his wife up, looking at his daughter with a horrified expression.

The girl ignored the two terrified ordinary people, her needle-like pupils fixed on Du Mu.

"Damn priest, I advise you to mind your own business."

Du Mu straightened his back, his face full of righteousness: "As a follower of the Lord, how could I stand by and watch the devil wreak havoc on the world?"

I urge you to leave this body immediately, or I will send you to heaven to meet God.

For demons, going to heaven is undoubtedly a terrifying thing.

"You?"

The girl let out a wild laugh: "Foolish human, who do you think you are? Your inferior exorcism methods won't work on me. Even if I lie here and let you do whatever you want, you won't be able to hurt me."

'

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Du Mu pull out a golden Desert Eagle, its dark muzzle pointed at her.

Girl:

This doesn't seem to be the normal exorcism process she imagined.

boom!

Gunshots rang out suddenly.

What shot out of the muzzle was not a bullet, but a white energy filled with a sacred aura.

"Aaaaaah—!"

The moment the girl came into contact with this energy, she immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Large patches of her grayish-white skin showed obvious burn marks, as if they had been pressed with a red-hot iron, sizzling and emitting white smoke.

To the demon hidden within the girl, this energy containing the attribute of light was like poison; even the slightest touch would cause excruciating pain.

Just as Du Mu was about to fire the second shot, a cloud of black smoke billowed from the girl's mouth and nose.

The girl's body went limp and she collapsed onto the mattress.

Black smoke churned rapidly in mid-air, quickly coalescing into a grotesque monster shape, clinging tightly to the space between the wall and the ceiling.

The thing was shriveled up like a dried corpse that had been buried underground for three years and then dug up. Its limbs were thin and twisted. It had no eyes or nose, and its entire face had only a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Du Mu clicked his tongue and said, "This little rascal is quite something."

"I want you dead!"

The demon roared angrily and pounced on Du Mu with all four limbs.

Du Mu remained motionless, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger.

boom! boom! boom!

The three gunshots rang out almost in quick succession.

The demon gave a cold laugh and moved swiftly.

I couldn't dodge it.

Under the effect of the Grim Reaper's Eye, the bullets have a tracking effect, and all of them accurately hit the demon's body.

The demon screamed as it crashed heavily to the ground from mid-air, black smoke emanating from its wounds, and it was no longer able to move.

The demon hissed and cursed, "Bastard, you're not a priest at all. What priest uses a gun?"

Du Mu looked at the devil with disdain and stepped on his chest: "Times have changed, devil. How can you become a priest if you have a gun but don't use it?"

Without saying a word, he repeatedly pulled the trigger, riddling the demon with bullets and physically sending it to its doom.

The demon didn't even have time to leave a single last word before it vanished completely in the form of black smoke.

[Quest: Exorcise Demons, Young Man] Completed

[Rewards: 1500 Experience Points, 1 Anchor Point Fragment, and Plastic Wrap]

[Props: Plastic wrap (used for ghost hunting)]

[Player has 20 anchor fragments. Combine them into a complete teleportation anchor?]

"Finally, we've got another teleportation anchor."

Du Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was initially worried that, like the X-Men server, he wouldn't be able to collect enough anchor fragments to complete the entire instance and would eventually be forced to leave the instance.

Without hesitation, Du Mu synthesized the anchor fragments and used the teleportation anchor he had just obtained.

The teleportation anchor point has been deployed, officially activating cross-server teleportation. You can now freely travel between your current server and the main server.

An additional selectable server immediately appeared on the map.

In addition to the servers for Marvel and X-Men, a new server for DC has now been added.

"Not bad, not bad."

Du Mu was very satisfied with this.

Seeing Du Mu shoot the demon to pieces, Jack swallowed hard and walked over tremblingly.

"Father, is this... resolved?"

Du Mu nodded: "It's resolved. Now you can go see your daughter."

Upon hearing this, Jack and Catherine rushed to the bedside.

After the demon was no longer possessing her, the girl's complexion returned to normal, and apart from a slight swelling in her cheeks, she was otherwise unharmed.

Catherine wept with joy, holding her newly awakened daughter and crying together.

Jack was equally pleased, but his reaction was more restrained than his wife's. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Du Mu, obtained Du Mu's account information, and immediately transferred the money, adding an extra million.

Du Mu naturally accepted it all with a smile, and then kindly reminded him, "I've done some calculations, and the feng shui of this area isn't very good. Your daughter being possessed by a demon is probably not a coincidence; it most likely happened in this house."

No, aren't you a priest?

Why are you even calculating feng shui with your fingers?

Jack's face paled: "No wonder then. We just bought this house a while ago, and it was only renovated last month. The whole family moved in just a few days ago, and then this happened to my daughter."

"Damn it, we're moving out tomorrow... no, later. We'll just leave this house here and not live here anymore."

After what had just happened, Jack didn't dare to stay in the house any longer.

Anyway, his family has quite a lot of assets, so he doesn't care about this loss at all.

Upon hearing this, Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "You don't want this house anymore?"

Jack said helplessly, "Father, since you've said that, how could I dare to take it? I can't sell it to someone else either. What if the next resident gets into the same situation as us? Wouldn't I be harming them?"

He has a good character, though.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Who says it can't be sold to others? You can sell it to me."

Jack was taken aback: "Sell it to you?"

Du Mu nodded: "That's right. I've been planning to buy a property in the metropolis recently, and I think this place is quite suitable."

.

Jack hesitated, "But there might be demons here."

"That would be even better, it would be perfect for me to boost my KPIs."

Jack:

'

""

Do churches have KPIs?

Just then, someone burst in from outside.

"I just arrived, and it's already over?"

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with blond hair, which was messy and disheveled. He wore a long khaki trench coat over a white shirt and a loose black narrow tie. He had a cigarette in his mouth and exuded a sense of decadence.

[NPC: John Constantine]

【Favourability: 0】

[Review: Hellblazer, Connor, DC's biggest scumbag, a walking sacrificial lamb for his teammates, smokes thirty cigarettes a day like a god, doesn't believe in God but only in nicotine, and is an ambassador for quitting smoking.]

Constantine, the infamous scumbag Constantine.

He is not a superhero in the traditional sense.

He was proficient in almost everything: smoking, drinking, gambling, whoring, swindling, and cheating.

But these are not the main points.

He was given the nickname "Scumbag Kang" because he was known for swindling the people around him.

Especially his friends, almost none of them had a good ending. They were all like expendable props, used specifically to be sold off and used as scapegoats.

Moreover, this guy talks a lot of nonsense, lies about everything, and has no bottom line.

Whether they are enemies or teammates, basically everyone who has dealt with him has been tricked, either getting tricked to death or preparing to get tricked to death.

Du Mu never expected to run into this guy here.

That's incredibly unlucky.

Because the girl was possessed by a demon, Jack's family sought help everywhere. Jack found Du Mu, while his father-in-law found Constantine.

However, Constantine was too slow; Du Mu had already finished the battle before he arrived.

Constantine, a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced from the girl on the bed to the fading black smoke on the floor, and finally landed on Du Mu, who was dressed as a priest.

He noticed the golden Desert Eagle in Du Mu's hand and muttered, "Are church exorcism tools this advanced now? It's even made of gold. They're really rich. I should have taken the priest's exam back then."

But then, Constantine's eyes lit up.

He could sense that the demon from before was quite powerful; it was definitely not just some random creature found on the roadside.

The fact that this unfamiliar priest could subdue the other party in such a short time shows that his strength is not to be underestimated; he is an excellent candidate to become a trap... or a friend.

Thinking of this, Constantine grinned and said enthusiastically to Du Mu, "Hello, I am John Constantine, a professional exorcist. How about we become friends?"

Du Mu, not one to strike a smiling face, tactfully said, "Get lost!"

Constantine:

""

What's going on?

Has word already spread that he enjoys tricking his friends?
