The few family monks from the outer sect of the Immortal Sect were kneeling on the wet floor of the port.
Sensing the aura of the great foundation-building monk in the sky, they all lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to move.
They would never have thought that the great foundation-building monk in the sky was actually the one with the worst grades in the same period...
"Everyone, get up, this sea area is no longer safe."
"Leave quickly!"
Su Ping shook his head and had no intention of catching up with old acquaintances and pretending to be cool.
After confirming that there was no crisis in the sea for the time being, he turned around and went to Black Turtle Island.
On Xuangui Island, Su Ping was not clean this time when fishing.
Perhaps it is because Black Turtle Island is already in a deep sea area, and sea monsters appear from time to time when fishing.
Although most of them only have the strength during the Qi training period.
It can be easily solved with Dahei.
But it still made Su Ping wary.
If the level of danger continues to increase.
Is it possible that I have to give up the fishing spot of Black Turtle Island?
Su Ping had thought about whether he should set up a formation on Black Turtle Island.
But he quickly gave up the idea.
Black Turtle Island itself has no secrets, its spiritual veins have long since disappeared, and there are no secret realms popping up around it.
As long as there is no fishing guy like Su Ping fishing, no matter whether it is a sea monster or an evil cultivator, they will not take a second look if they happen to pass by.
But if Su Ping arranged the formation, wouldn't it make Black Turtle Island a firefly in the darkness?
Those incarnations of the evil gods who were passing by took a photo of it on a whim... that was because the painting was not beautiful anymore.
[The number of fishing times has been exhausted, please come again next time! 】
After spending one night, he had fished all the accumulated times. The next second after Su Ping saw the message appearing, he disappeared directly into the world of immortality and returned to Water Blue Star.
Aquamarine, Citiland.
New York, one of the top metropolitan areas.
As the environment deteriorates and society develops, more and more people are coming here in search of opportunities and survival.
As a result, the registered population gathered here has exceeded 30 million.
And you can almost find traces of people from every race on Aqua Blue Planet in this metropolis.
New York is neither a good nor a bad circle.
Holy Bishop's Church is the most important backbone and stabilizer of this community.
The church organizes believers to distribute food together every week and provide some basic help to people in need.
At the same time, under the leadership of the priest, and in order to ensure that the value of the community would not be reduced, residents donated money and support to establish a patrol team to maintain order in the area.
These measures reduced local crime rates and allowed the church's authority to continue.
Father Victor has been rooted in this community for almost thirty years.
Satisfied with everything, he even declined the recall inquiry from the City of the Holy Lord in the past few years.
Of course, Father Victor must have had some regrets recently.
If I had known earlier, I would have had the opportunity to learn extraordinary knowledge by going back to the City of the Holy Lord.
How could he be reluctant to leave this church?
Especially in the past two days, they have been praised by the City of Holy Lord as the most outstanding church in New York City.
Then, after replacing the silver cross on the top of the building that was said to be a hundred years old.
Two black gargoyle statues about one and a half meters high were escorted over by special personnel and then installed on both sides of the entrance of the ring-shaped church.
Like two gatekeepers, watching the outside of the church.
It's just an ordinary statue.
Father Victor knew very well that these two statues were real gargoyles!
Have the ability to punish evil and ward off evil.
It has been distributed recently. It is said that the great crown prince received a revelation, and perhaps the devil is planning something.
So they were quickly distributed to various places so that they could detect abnormalities immediately using churches in various places as strongholds.
"Father, Anderson's house is haunted again!"
Father Victor got up early this morning and was planning to go to the door to distribute food as usual, and use his rich experience as a priest to provide psychological treatment to some people.
He heard his assistant shout nervously at the door.
"Is it haunted again?"
Father Victor frowned slightly and his head felt a little headache.
This is also one of the side effects of the frequent extraordinary occurrences that have made these holy bishops and priests famous.
The residents of these priest areas were haunted and possessed by demons, and other things happened frequently.
It's just that when the priests hold their noses and deal with it, they often find that the other party has a headache and a fever.
Most cases can be cured by drinking holy water containing painkillers for a day or two.
The rare cases that are serious are mostly mental illnesses. If you don't want to go to a mental hospital, it's best to stay at home and recuperate.
The Anderson family is a family with a mentally ill person in the community.
It's just that the parents of this family don't seem to believe that their son is a psychopath, insisting that he is possessed by the devil.
After the extraordinary incident broke out across the Aquamarine Star, they spoke about it much more sonorously and forcefully.
Even Father Victor was a little unsure at first.
Just arrived with the Gargoyles.
Together with his assistant, he brought the other party to the gargoyle.
After confirming that the gargoyle was not even interested in taking a look at the fat boy.
He was convinced that the affairs of this fat boy were not under the control of the Holy Lord.
"It seems that it's not the little Anderson, but a relative they took in."
"relative?"
"Have they accepted people from outside?"
"Yes, but it has been reported."
The assistant nodded, picked up the phone, checked it, and whispered.
"All right."
Father Victor grunted, and after getting dressed, he thought about it and took a few bottles of holy water with him.
Although he had known for a long time that the holy water they made by praying only had psychological effects.
But I have to say that humans are magical creatures, and psychological effects can sometimes be of great use.
Drove to the Andersons.
As soon as they got out of the car, Father Victor and his party heard a burst of ghostly cries and howls.
Then they walked into the house and saw a dark-skinned man tied to the bed.
The man kept twisting his body, opening and closing his mouth, and black blood flowed from his eyes.
Father Victor looked at the Andersons, whose skin was only brown.
He looked at the dark-skinned man again:
"Is this your... relative?"
Old Anderson smiled awkwardly, showing his white teeth, and then nodded slightly.
This man was a relative of the old boss Anderson, and he needed to find a place to live for a while due to some matters.
Because the gift was too much, Old Anderson could only recognize this relative.
Father Victor entered the room.
I immediately felt that the surrounding light seemed to be distorted.
There seemed to be thick darkness flowing around the person who was tied up on the bed?
I wanted to take a closer look, but it became blurry the more I looked.
And...the temperature of the room is also dropping.
Goosebumps broke out on Father Victor's skin.
But he was still not sure whether the other party was really haunted, so he picked up the cross on his chest and looked at it and chanted:
"In the name of the Holy Lord, all evil must retreat!"
"The evil retreats!"
After drinking a few times and seeing no reaction, he took out the bottle of holy water and emphasized that the water in the bottle was blessed by the Holy Lord, and sprinkled it on the other party.
The black man showed no reaction and kept shaking his head and roaring.
This reaction made Father Victor confirm that this guy was not a hysterical believer at least.
If believers who fantasize about being possessed hear that the water in the bottle is holy water, regardless of whether the holy water in the bottle is real, they will scream as if they have been sprayed with sulfuric acid.
At this time, if an experienced priest takes the opportunity to give him a beating, he will most likely be able to cure the opponent's hysteria.
Father Victor was a little regretful that he had not been able to encounter such a good thing that showed his power.
After confirming that this was not something that his holy water could handle.
Father Victor decided to carry the man out with his bed together with the Anderson family.
Then he called several residents who were watching the theater outside the yard to help.
The group transported the weirdo to the church.
Because today also happened to be the day for distributing free food, many people gathered near the church.
In addition to those from the ring area, there are also many residents and even homeless people from other areas.
They all discovered this abnormality and exclaimed after seeing the patient being carried out of a small truck.
Some students were surprised:
"My classmate seems to have posted similar videos. It seems that the hospital has admitted several such weirdos!"
"I know, it must be the end of the world!"
"Zombies! This must be a sign of the zombie apocalypse! Brothers, can you lend me money so I can stock up on food and medicine?"
The few friends next to the student shouted quickly when they heard this.
Before a few adults could stand it, they scolded him.
The loud noise made by the two gargoyles in front of the church suddenly silenced the whole place.
Everyone looked in awe at the gargoyle that made a loud noise and moved.
The two gargoyles spread their wings, and their eyes glowed red and looked at the patient who got out of the car.
It's magical to say the least.
With the gargoyles roaring at it.
The patient who had been screaming unconsciously suddenly became stiff.
Then, a burst of black energy emerged from the patient's body, and then quickly turned into a black energy and entered the gargoyle's body.
Everyone saw that the patient seemed to calm down.
"The gargoyle sucked away the possessed demon?"
Old Anderson saw the gargoyles squatting back to their original positions after swallowing the black energy, and then he boldly asked.
Father Victor was silent for a moment, thinking about the exorcism secrets issued by the City of the Holy Lord a week ago.
He took a deep breath and walked to the patient. His face changed slightly after looking into the patient's eyes.
This man's pupils were pitch black.
Whether it is in the secret book of exorcism or in various exorcism classics with a long history, these are all standard signs of being invaded by evil!
And...normal people will never have such symptoms.
Who would have the whites of their eyes completely covered with a thick layer of black that seems to be fluid?
"Send it to the church!"
Father Victor immediately made a decision:
"Under the Holy Lord's domain, they will be fine!"
The Anderson family and assistants were ordered to help push the calmed patient to the church.
The gargoyles didn't seem to have a problem with this.
Father Victor was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a vehicle from the Citizen Security Department appeared at the door of the church.
Immediately, the two capable detectives got out of the car and hurried to Father Victor.
After showing their IDs, the two agents made their request.
He really hoped that Father Victor could go to New York Hospital to help see the patients there.
Father Victor wanted to say that he, a priest, really didn't know how to treat patients.
After seeing the content on the screen handed to me.
He took a breath:
"Holy Lord, how come there are so many patients invaded by evil!"
After experiencing the accident in the morning, Father Victor has fully approved the adapted version of the Secret Book of Exorcism in the City of the Holy Lord.
I no longer doubt that the TV station is acting, but that something big is indeed happening in the city.
He swallowed his saliva and did not dare to go to the hospital to die.
After making excuses to prepare, he trotted into the church and prepared to stay behind closed doors, hoping that the detectives would hire someone else.
However... Father Victor saw the assistant coming over with the phone, and his face turned pale as he thought of something.
After all, reluctant to part with his current status, he took the phone and nodded in agreement with a wry smile.
But not long after, Father Victor let out a sigh and his face lit up:
"real?"
"Her Highness Saint Teresa will personally come to this chaotic place to bring us blessings?"
"Holy Lord, I wish to chant your name on earth, and may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."
They learned that the City of the Holy Lord had not abandoned them, and that the saint chosen by the angel would come soon.
Moreover, Your Majesty's side has also developed mitigation methods for the evil invasions that have recently occurred in places such as Europa and Citi.
After making the call, Father Victor changed his expression, came out in formal clothes with a solemn expression, and nodded and smiled at the two detectives:
"You've been waiting for a long time, let's go now!"
The agents were slightly startled and nodded quickly.
The residents moved out of the way and watched Father Victor leave.
Then they looked at the two gargoyles that were really moving and not just for display.
After whispering for a while, many people made up their minds to attend the next church service.
Even if there is no room inside, you still have to stand in the garden nearby to experience the sense of participation.
New York Hospital.
A separate building was set up to house special patients who suffered from this sudden outbreak.
Several highly respected doctors and powerful investigators are analyzing the situation.
They already know that the first outbreak of strange symptoms was among the prisoners in the heavy-duty prison.
Then it spread to the entire city.
What is currently known is that the symptoms of most patients are very similar to demonic possession in movies.
And there is a certain amount of aggression.
It also makes many young people worry that they will encounter crises such as zombies.
Of course, if it were really just zombies, everyone here wouldn't be so panicked.
Humans have many ways to deal with zombies that can be killed by bullets, whether offensive or defensive.
"Most of them spend half of the day in a state of madness, and half of the time they are back to normal but extremely weak."
"There is no age or gender for those who develop symptoms..."
"If we have to talk about commonalities, maybe a large part of them that can be verified are documented?"
"Yes, especially the frequent use of psychotropic drugs accounts for a large proportion."
Speaking of this, a doctor pushed up the expensive gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"Some occult experts believe that this is because these people's sanity has declined due to long-term enjoyment, making it easier for evil to invade their souls."
Because the mystery has already been revealed.
These doctors and experts, in fact, did not hold books and shout that it is impossible, but instead accepted a new world view.
And never give up using scientific and systematic methods to study.
It's a pity that Aqua Blue Star has no spiritual energy.
Their research is like the physics of the three-body world meeting sophons.
Currently, I am still in a state where I seem to know something, but I also seem to know nothing.
"Priests from all districts and those psychics are invited!"
Soon, everyone in the investigator's office looked at the large screen divided into dozens of small screens.
Including Father Victor, dozens of priests and psykers invited in by the detectives entered the main entrance of the hospital with some embarrassment.
Different from the formal priests.
Men and women who claim to be psykers wear all kinds of fancy clothes.
Add exaggerated hairstyles and various makeup looks.
It's actually not a big problem to drag them directly to the masquerade party.
It's just that these people are active all over Citiland and can really make a lot of money in a profession that puts old wine in new bottles.
Psychics have a wide range of businesses, from finding kittens and puppies, to helping retrieve memories of past lives, to curing terminal illnesses and bringing the dead back to life.
It seems that there is nothing in this world that they cannot do.
However, as soon as these psychics entered the scene.
They haven't even had time to perform a Citi version of the master dance.
The accident happens immediately.
The black energy visible to the naked eye gushes out from several wards, and then penetrates into the bodies of the few psykers who are at the forefront with lightning speed.
These psykers immediately collapsed onto the cold floor of the hospital lobby and performed a zombie dance that was astonishing to everyone.
In the monitoring room, an expert's eyes lit up:
"There are quite a few psychics who use psychotropic drugs. After checking, I estimate that the few who fell to the ground must be severe patients!"
In the hospital lobby, everyone, including the detectives, retreated.
The detectives even pulled back and took out their pistols.
Just waiting to empty the magazine out of habit whenever something goes wrong.
Only an old priest took a step forward, raised the silver coins in his hand, and shouted prayers at the psykers on the ground.
Father Victor thought he would meet a colleague, but he didn't expect that the other person turned out to be a heretic.
Seeing the fallen psykers bending over, they seemed to be crawling towards the old priest.
Father Victor sighed in his heart and took a step forward to the old priest's side.
Then he raised the chest pendant high.
He shouted the name of the angel loudly.
Suddenly!
It's like the red light shrouding effect of a gargoyle.
The crawling psychics' eyes widened and their bodies stiffened and stopped.
Immediately, black gas emerged from their ears, nose and mouth and dissipated.
But their eyes were still dark and they fainted on the ground.
Became a new patient in the hospital.
Father Victor sighed, and immediately noticed that everyone around him seemed to be staring at him with mixed emotions.
Father Victor's mouth twitched.
I realized it instantly.
It turns out that there is a huge city called New York.
I am the only one who is semi-authentic!
