Chapter 51: Reappearing
Robert had two sisters in total, the previous victim was named Rona, and the one who was still alive was named Rosie. After the garrison was investigated by their house, she easily found her place and sent a police force to protect her. Maggie stayed there in order to catch the murderer.
Kylot saw this woman who was now on the verge of mental breakdown in her living room. When Maggie saw him entering the door, she glanced at Rosie next to her with her eyes, signaling him not to speak, and then stood up from the sofa next to Rosie and took him to the corridor outside.
“Is there any new news?”
"We can now confirm that there should be something evil in Robert. In the past two years, an old priest prayed to Robert every week, which should help him suppress the evil in his body. The old priest died in his church a few days ago... Angelina and I found this information in his notes. I think our subsequent tasks may require some special means."
Angelina next to her walked up to hand the diary of Priest Reims to Sheriff Maggie. After Maggie took it, she immediately waved to the detective next to her and said, "You go back to the garrison and let the spirits send people here... Just say that this time the target is an evil spirit, let them bring more special equipment. The people on our side are just ordinary equipment now, and they cannot play a role in facing those evil spirits."
"Sir Maggie, do we need to be involved in the protection work?"
"Of course, the two tasks I gave you were done well, so I have cancelled your patrol mission. Let's follow me to act next. If all the inferences are fine, Rosie in it must be the final target now, and the murderer will definitely be found, so we are here to protect her."
It is better to wait for the job here than to find a needle in a haystack. This is Maggie's idea. In Kellott's opinion, this seems to be the best way at present. Robert will definitely attack Rosie in order to complete the final killing, and it is not difficult for the evil spirit to find a place for someone.
According to some descriptions made in books that Kellot has read, the evil spirits will set spiritual marks on their goals, and as long as they approach a certain range, they can easily obtain the target's position. Robert is now probably wandering somewhere in the city of Duras, searching for Rosie's position.
Maggie assigned Kelot the task to guard the small courtyard where there were no police officers at the moment, while Angelina accompanied her to protect Rosie in close proximity to Robert who might appear at any time. The special department of the garrison came over for a long time, but there was only one. Kelot discovered that the other party was the person who asked her this morning, and during the conversation, he probably knew that the other party's name was Flander.
The police officers who came with him were holding several large boxes in their hands, containing various props. In addition to more than a dozen bottles of holy water commonly used to deal with evil spirits, there were also special water guns used to fire these holy waters, as well as several long swords with some mysterious runes carved on them.
Everyone present had a weapon, and the one assigned to Kellot was a water gun, which was originally a long sword, but he said he was not good at using swords, so he changed one with a police officer.
I moved a chair again to sit in the yard, and the sky outside was gradually getting darker.
It was already around 5 o'clock in the evening. After a while, someone sent a takeaway to Kellot. He was also planning to continue to squat here, and he didn't plan to go into the house for dinner.
While drinking a bowl of broth, I felt a little weird inexplicably. I suddenly looked up and suddenly saw the thin figure watching him outside the fence of the yard. After seeing Kelot's gaze, the other party did not avoid it, but stared at him directly. At the same time, a piece of gravel in the yard shot towards Kelot's head under the driving force of some force.
Kellot reached out to grab it without even looking at it, and with a little force, the stone chips slid down in his palm, then reached out to the water gun filled with the bottle of holy water left by Priest Reims. He was about to get up to chase him, but Robert's figure suddenly disappeared!
"Hmph... Have you finally found the last target? It seems that I am about to start. I should be able to get off work early today."
Continuing to drink the broth in his hand, Kellot stood up and walked into the room to notify the police officers inside that they had just seen Robert and asked them to prepare. When the police officers who were eating heard the news, they immediately put down their knives and forks in their hands, picked up their weapons and returned to their posts.
Rosie, who had just picked up the fork, put the fork back in place after hearing the news, turned around and walked towards the sofa in the living room with a dark face. According to Maggie, the reason why Rosie hadn't seen Robert once in two years was that she could not forgive the other party for killing her parents. Now she knew that it was the evil spirit that caused the trouble and her sister's death was mixed feelings, and now she was full of speculations that she might be killed.
Kellot didn't care much about this. After saying that, he returned to the courtyard on his own, waiting for Robert to appear again.
At six o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark, and at this time, we could only see things outside with the help of some lights in the house. Kellot also carried Xiliu, who had just been fed, and returned to the windowsill in the house and continued to act as a watchman.
The man from the Spiritual Exile House was walking back and forth between the house, holding a staff in his hand and chanting a few spells from time to time. Kelot could feel the other party's slight energy fluctuations in the air at the moment of chanting the spell. It seemed that he should be reconnaissing Robert's position.
"Here you come! Everyone is ready!"
Frando, who had reached the living room, shouted in a deep voice. For a moment, the police officers in the room looked for cover and looked like they were defending themselves.
In Kellott's opinion, this was a few of them. They were fierce spirits and were not gangsters. If they could find a sofa as a cover, it would be too naive.
A spell came out from Flando's mouth, and a gray-white aperture spread rapidly towards the surroundings with him as the center. When it spread to the connecting portal between the living room door and the entrance to the corridor outside, a wave suddenly appeared in the air, and a fierce spirit appeared!
