"God is merciful, and the rising sun shines on us from on high; protect us from our enemies, and defeat the evil schemes of the devil; pray to God, and let the devil retreat; use the power of the Lord to drive away Satan and his wanderings in the world; to protect the devil from harming human souls.
, all driven into hell!』
Todd held the scripture high with one hand, made the sign of the cross with the other hand, placed it on the head of the cursed person, and chanted exorcism prayers loudly in his mouth.
"I thought there was something different, but it turns out there is no difference..." Listening to the prayer, the young priest muttered quietly, but the next second, something strange in the room scared him so much that he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
The brown linen covering the bed gradually formed a "bulge" in the abdomen of the cursed person.
"Father in heaven! What is that?!"
The Sheriff's low exclamation attracted a glare from Huggins opposite. The Slavic man put his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture.
The linen cloth rises higher and higher, and the outline of the "bulge" becomes clearer and clearer. The eye sockets, nose, and mouth gradually protrude, and the shape of a face is already visible.
"demon!"
The old knight, who was disarmed and returned to the field, growled and touched his hands to his waist, but nervously discovered that he did not bring his weapon with him.
The Sheriff's facial muscles twitched, his upper and lower teeth trembled, and although he stood next to the candle, his head kept shrinking back.
At this moment, two streams of reddish-brown liquid that looked like "blood" flowed down from the "bulging" eye sockets, soaking the linen cloth and contaminating the pure white cross.
"ah!!!"
Unable to bear the pressure of fear any longer, the Sheriff rolled and crawled away and fled backwards.
As if it had been frightened, the bulge instantly rose dozens of centimeters and floated in the air, making a shrieking sound like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
The young priest looked at the "evil spirit" in front of him in horror, turned his head and looked angrily at the coward who left everyone behind and ran away, shouting: "You bastard! You ruined the ceremony! The devil is going crazy!"
As if to confirm Moore Rupert's words, with a sharp roar, the linen hit the ceiling. With a burst, it slowly fell down, but there was nothing inside.
The room fell into dead silence, but almost everyone knew that something terrible could happen.
There was a loud bang.
The wood above everyone's heads exploded, and blood poured down like a waterfall.
Todd, who had a heavy face, put down the scripture in his hand, took out the cross on his chest with one hand, and swung the holy water bottle around his waist with the other hand. He shouted loudly: "The Lord entrusted the redeemed souls to me and settled them."
In the happiness of heaven. I pray here, O God of peace! Suppress Satan under our feet so that he will no longer poison mankind and no longer harm believers!"
However, prayer and holy water had no effect at all.
The spotless white cross oozed "blood", "Devil heads" appeared on the dark walls, the dishes and furniture in the room exploded one by one, and the screams of "Devils" became louder and louder.
The bigger it gets, it seems to burst the eardrums and pierce the soul.
Anyone in the room could see the desperate reality.
The exorcism failed...
Huggins and Jerry Jr. came to Todd's side, one on the left and the other on the right, to protect the monk from the debris and sawdust splashed by the explosion. The latter even lifted a stone platform weighing hundreds of kilograms and placed it across the
on the shoulders.
Todd continued to recite the prayer and took a look at Little Jerry with his clairvoyance ability. He was surprised to find that the parasite entrenched in the adrenal gland was vomiting liquid regularly.
Others behaved differently.
The sheriff and the old knight ran to the front door of the hut, trying to tear off the cross on the back of the door and escape as soon as possible, but they were blocked by the young cleric.
Father Rupert opened his arms, grabbed the door frame, looked at the two people in front of him angrily, and shouted: "The devil has come out! There are innocent people outside, open the door, you know what will happen
? Do you want to use other people’s lives to protect yourselves?!”
The old knight was stunned for a moment, with a hesitant look on his face; the Sheriff didn't care so much, raised his fist and hit the priest on the cheek.
Moore Rupert, who suffered a heavy blow, shook his body, but did not flinch even half a step. He regained his balance, blood slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes held the awareness of sacrifice.
Todd, who was in the center of the room, first said something to Huggins, and then motioned to the two people around him to move the craftsmen to the door. He dropped everything in his hands and opened his arms toward the roof.
"Heavenly Father, please present my life in front of the most high God, and ask the Lord to show mercy, release your anger, capture the poisonous dragon and ancient snake, and destroy the devil and Satan!"
The bright and hot flames, as others watched in horror, burned along the monk's ankles, to his waist, and finally reached his arms.
"Oh my God!" Father Rupert, who made the sign of the cross on his chest, shed tears in his eyes: "Brother Todd is saving our souls with his life!"
The boy, who had completely transformed into a "fire man", grabbed an invisible figure in the air, hugged him tightly and never let go. At this time, the howl of the "devil" sounded again, and the monk's voice came from the karma fire.
"I command you in the name of the Supreme Being! Devil! Go back to hell!"
The wooden hut quickly fell into a sea of flames. The suffocating black smoke and the high temperature that burned the body cavity forced the other six people to take the unconscious craftsman, opened the door, and rushed into the fearful and anxious crowd outside the house.
Little Jerry roared in grief and wanted to rush into the fire again, but was held back by Huggins.
"Don't be impulsive! Todd just told me that he will be fine."
The man whispered in the tall young man's ear.
All the villagers in Qianmu Village, as well as the onlookers, spontaneously formed a fire brigade after hearing about Todd's sacrifice to exorcise demons. People used barrels to draw water from wells, water tanks to collect rainwater, and even
It was a damp sheet that was still wet, trying hard to extinguish the fire.
Finally, after the fire burned for thirty minutes, the fire slowly weakened.
People saw a figure among the ruins that were burning with white smoke and turned into a mess.
The first people to spot Todd shouted with trembling lips: "God appears! A miracle! This is a miracle!"
The monk stood in the innermost storage room intact. Although his whole body was smoky, there was no sign of burning at the place where he stood or around him.
Pious people came one after another, and everyone was stunned by the scene before them. I don't know who started it first. More and more people knelt down in the direction of the monks, and the sounds of prayer and praise could not be heard.
Soon, a sacred title was spread in the mouths of every believer.
