People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Suren frowned as he looked at the words "completely eliminate" on the mission objective.

Valak is different from the ancient ogres and Yothun we've faced before.

It is currently just a projection of consciousness parasitizing a human; its true form remains in hell.

To kill it, we must find a way to summon the demon's true form.

Simply driving that consciousness back would probably not meet the system's requirements.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Constantine beside him.

To set up the magic circle to summon demons, Constantine must be persuaded.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it is necessary to make additional preparations.

If he successfully completes this task, he will finally be able to exchange his points for the Thunder Sword Alastor.

……

"That's impossible!"

On the highway leading to find the Warrens, the speeding car suddenly braked and stopped on the side of the road.

Constantine's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly as he looked at Suren, who was sitting in the passenger seat, as if he were a madman.

"Surren, that's Valak, one of the seventy-two demons of Solomon! You actually want to actively draw a summoning circle to summon its true form?!"

Constantine was agitated, and even somewhat panicked.

Suren glanced at him and knew why the other party was reacting so strongly.

Years ago, Constantine, in an attempt to save a little girl from a demon, cleverly summoned another demon from hell.

As a result, the ritual went out of control. Not only did he fail to save the little girl, but he also watched helplessly as the demons he summoned dragged her into endless hell.

This tragedy became a deep-seated regret for him.

"Calm down, Constantine."

Suren said, "Times have changed, and we are not without a fight."

"What can the two of us do?"

Constantine countered with a question.

"I also contacted Midnight Daddy."

Suren calmly said, "Although the barrier between the human world and hell has been damaged, the covenant between heaven and hell still exists. If Valak wants to ignore the rules and truly descend, he will have to pay a huge price to resist the covenant."

"The moment it descends upon the mortal realm will be its most vulnerable moment. At that time, in conjunction with the suppression array you have set up beforehand, I will strive to kill it with a single blow."

Constantine was taken aback by Suren's words:

"You got beaten up like that by Midnight Dad last time, aren't you afraid he'll tamper with the ceremony and sell you out?"

"He's a pure businessman; businessmen only pursue profit. Besides, you're still here, aren't you?"

"That's what Suren replied."

The car fell silent.

Constantine gripped the steering wheel, a cigarette dangling from his left hand out the window.

A cold wind blew by, and the image of Suren smashing the demon with a single shot and forcefully killing Midnight Father flashed through his mind involuntarily.

He had to admit that the young man before him did indeed possess the ability to fight against the devil.

Constantine took a deep drag of his cigarette and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so obsessed with killing Varak? Wouldn't it be better to just drive him away?"

Seeing that the other party had no objection, Suren smiled faintly and said, "After it's done, I'll consider it a favor I owe you."

……

The neighbor's house.

The Hudson family members huddled in the living room; they were too afraid to go back to their haunted house.

It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly outside, but the people inside couldn't feel any warmth at all.

The second daughter, Janet Hudson, lay pale in Lorraine Warren's arms as the primary target of the evil spirit.

As an experienced psychic, Rowling could clearly sense the child's inner fear.

When will the Vatican's representatives arrive? Can they really solve this problem?

Peggy, the mother, stood to the side, her eyes red-rimmed.

As a single mother, raising five children on her own has been incredibly difficult.

Having been tormented by paranormal phenomena for several days, she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Don't worry.

Rowling gently comforted Janet, then looked up at Peggy and said, "This time, the Vatican's top exorcist is here. He has handled many difficult cases, and he will definitely be able to end this crisis."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of a car engine shutting off came from outside.

As Suren and Constantine got out of the car, the reporters who had been waiting on both sides of the street swarmed around them like sharks smelling blood, carrying their cameras and microphones.

However, the spotlight was focused on Constantine.

As for Suren, who was wearing a dark red coat and had a patch of white hair dyed on his forehead, no one paid any attention to him.

After Constantine impatiently dealt with the paparazzi, the Warrens came out of the house and greeted him with a nod.

Ed Warren's gaze lingered on Suren for a moment.

Looking at the other person's somewhat unconventional attire, the investigator felt a sense of unease. He didn't recall that there was such a young and eccentric exorcist in the Vatican.

Suren ignored the stares of the others; his only thought was to summon Valak and kill him.

"Go in first and find out the details. I'll wait outside for Dad at midnight."

Constantine nodded and followed the Warrens into their neighbor's house.

Not long after, a black Mercedes pulled up to the side of the road, and Midnight Old Man, dressed in a suit, got out of the car.

He glanced at Suren, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, and deliberately maintained a safe social distance from him.

"Five million US dollars, that's what we agreed on. This is a deal where we're risking our lives."

"Money is not a problem, have you brought all the necessary materials?"

Suren readily agreed.

Midnight Old Man nodded and patted the trunk of the car.

At this moment, Constantine also came out of the house, followed by the Hudson family and the Warrens.

Su Lunchong and the others nodded: "Let's go inside."

Ed Warren suddenly stepped forward and offered, "Let's go in together; maybe we can be of some help."

"Then please stay outside and try to evacuate the neighbors and reporters as far away as possible to prevent any casualties later."

Suren's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

The Warrens paused for a moment, then looked hesitantly at Constantine, who was in charge.

Constantine frowned and nodded to them.

As Suren pushed open the door to the Hudson's house, a chilling feeling enveloped her.

A red light flashed in Suren's eyes. In his vision, black mist filled the house, eventually converging in a room on the second floor.

He looked up at the room.

If I remember correctly, this room is the bedroom covered with crosses in the original story, and it was also the stronghold that Valak chose to possess.

Suren gestured for Midnight Father and Constantine to go upstairs and set up the magic circle, while he stayed here to watch over Janet and prevent the demon from playing any tricks.

More than an hour later.

Suren went upstairs to the second floor and led Janet into the room.

There was an indescribable smell in the air, a bit like the stench of urine, but also a bit fishy. It was hard to imagine what kind of materials Old Man had brought over at midnight.

The room's floor, walls, and even ceiling were covered with densely packed incantations.

In the center of the floor was a complex magic circle, surrounded by rings of different magic circles.

The ordinary crosses that used to hang on the wall have all been replaced with crosses made of pure silver.

The three of them placed the trembling Janet in the center of the magic circle.

"Don't be afraid, you'll be safe in just a minute or two."

Suren comforted her.

Almost the instant she stepped into the magic circle, Janet's head drooped down abruptly, like a puppet that had lost control.

When she raised her head again, her once youthful face turned ashen, her pupils turned yellowish and vertical, and her lips parted in an exaggerated grin as she glared maliciously at the people in the room.

Looking at it like this, Suren realized that the rumors about Valak controlling the snakes were indeed true.

Seeing that the demon had completely possessed the girl, Constantine quickly pulled out an old Bible and a crucifix soaked in holy water from his person and began to loudly recite exorcism incantations.

Latin echoed in the room, and Janet suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.

She clutched her head in agony, rolling on the ground, occasionally screaming, "No! No!"

At times, his face contorted in a grimace as he cursed, "Damn exorcists!"

As the incantation grew more urgent, Constantine stepped forward and slammed the cross onto Janet's forehead, shouting, "In the name of the Lord! Expel you!"

"Sizzle—"

White smoke rose from the girl's forehead, and a dark shadow was forcibly driven out by the cross.

A demon dressed in a nun's habit, with a face like a zombie, and only two yellow glints in its deep-set eyes.

Just as the evil spirit appeared, Suren raised her right hand, and a purple ghostly hand appeared out of thin air, grabbing Janet who was lying on the ground and throwing her out of the room.

"Let's do it!"

He gave a cold shout.
