The so-called folk exorcists are generally ordinary people who have "accidental" or supernatural abilities, either passed down from their ancestors or through deals with demons, and obtained powerful powers, which can be passed on to future generations.
But for future generations, it is both protection and a fateful curse.
With faith or revenge, you can actively or passively join the demon hunting team.
In short, such scattered civilian exorcists naturally have problems of one kind or another!
Because exorcism often causes incomprehension and harm to ordinary people, and even causes more harm than evil spirits and demons due to "mistakes", so most churches will introduce an "exorcism license" system with an additional restriction .
Originally, many private exorcists joined in the name of revenge for their loved ones.
Due to constraints and "not understanding", coupled with life factors and yearning for family, many folk exorcists have quit their demon hunting life and returned to ordinary life.
Every year churches and well-known exorcists recruit new people to perform exorcisms, but more exorcists also leave.
There are many more that are not as restrained as The Wild Exorcist….
Xie Yu can only say that it is indeed a country with a small government and big immigration, and everyone has their own ideas.
While he was thinking, Marcos walked over mysteriously, "Karl, classmate Karl, do you know who will teach us next?"
Xie Yu: "Who?"
Seeing Marcos' eyes wandering around, Xie Yu smiled and said, "How about a buffalo spicy chicken wings for lunch!"
Buffalo Spicy Chicken Wings Restaurant, the crispy chicken is topped with hot sauce and dipped in melted blue cheese. The fragrant fat bursting out in your mouth is a perfect feeling.
So, Xie Yu ordered 100 portions and placed them in storage space No. 1. There were pizza, barbecue, and pies before. After all, now that I have some money, I really had enough burgers.
In fact, if you can open a store to sell it, especially in some famous restaurants, the taste will not be too bad.
Especially in immigrant cities like America, there are many ethnic food customs from all over the world. After having some money, Xie Yu concentrated on "alchemy" research and was too lazy to cook and open the fire except for going to school.
After going to some restaurants, especially fast food, and trying them, I usually order more than twenty portions, and put them in storage space No. 1. When I get hungry at the restaurant, I can just take them out to eat.
No matter what era, young people from ordinary backgrounds, especially in capital countries, are not very wealthy, the food here usually consists of sandwiches, bread, and jam.
A gourmet chicken wings set meal, especially in this private estate where the food is very monotonous, is a small purchase that is "recognized" by both parties.
It's a bit weird to say that Marcus has awakened supernatural abilities.
He has always been curious about occultism and often pays attention to this aspect. He found a supernatural encyclopedia in old books on a street stall.
There is a record of the summoning ceremony:
Find a haunted house where someone has recently died. At two o'clock in the morning, alone, in front of any full-length mirror in the house, use fresh animal blood to draw a reverse pentagram.
Write the name of the deceased on the parchment and drop a drop of blood, turn off all the lights in the room, light the candles, and whisper the name of the deceased 13 times. If the soul of the deceased has not dissipated, you can summon it.
According to the description of the ritual, the summoned ghosts can communicate normally with humans, making it the best choice for novice psychics to try channeling for the first time.
Thinking of an old man who had just died in the community, Marcos immediately gave it a try.
Fortunately, the ghost of this old gentleman was a respected doctor and a charitable person during his lifetime.
Marcos helped him fulfill some of his last wishes because he was young and busy and neglected his family.
The spirit body of the old man helped Ma Kesi unlock his supernatural power, giving him the power to "repellent objects".
There are a few people in this "training class" who have telekinesis, but none of them are as lucky as Marcos.
It's probably due to family "heredity" and hard work that he can drive some small objects. Unlike Ma Ke, who can drive five kilograms of objects just after awakening his mind power, he has great potential.
After being "reported" by his parents who were devout believers, he was sent here!
It can be regarded as a kind of "midway monk" type like Xie Yu. In fact, the students who come here have been "educated" by their families to some extent. They just come here to prove that they can expand their connections and find a good job!
Marcos, like Xie Yu, really didn’t have many channels and channels, so he really came here to study.
When he was in school, he was an enthusiastic "Inquisitor" and had a talent for intelligence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have studied occult studies. His original career plan for the future was to become a reporter.
It was time to change his career and prepare to be an information dealer in the world of exorcism. He saw Xie Yu's "effort" in the training class, so he was naturally prepared to sell it in advance.
Going back to Marcos' information, it turns out that the people who gave the training class this time were the famous "Warrens" in the exorcism world, Ed Warren and Rowling Warren. They were demons officially certified and endorsed by the Catholic Church. scientist.
The strength of these two people can only be said to be average in the world of exorcists, but they are very publicity, and they are very good at making friends. They have a very good relationship with the church. They feel a bit like martial arts masters, and they have rich experience. , is good at eloquent speeches and can be called an Internet celebrity in the field of civil exorcism.
If the Warrens showed up two days later, they did tell everyone a lot of "local ways" to deal with supernatural things, but why did Xie Yu feel that they were here to promote the couple's autobiographical book?
Soon everyone in the class had a copy. Xie Yu also bought a paperback priced at 78.8 yuan. Marcos looked at the idol version and bought a scripture collection worth more than 200 yuan, saying that there was Warren in it. Couple's special "knowledge expansion".
In Xie Yu's opinion, it is nothing more than chicken soup for the soul of courage.
Correct nonsense, when exorcising demons, courage and willpower not to be deceived are so important.
Relatively speaking, Rowling Warren's Yin-Yang media system with prophetic abilities is somewhat interesting.
If an ordinary person in the East had such magical powers, he would probably have died prematurely if he had not practiced it.
But in the Western system, not only is nothing going on, but life is very good. Be respected.
Does it really mean that with greater ability comes greater responsibility?
After the Warrens left, the eight-week training ended soon. Through the training class, Xie Yu obtained a gun license despite being underage.
In the new era and the new trend of exorcism, guns have a great influence on ordinary people, and this is also true when exorcising demons!
Ordinary ghosts hate and fear salt, so use salt bullets to get rid of them. Vampires and the like hate and fear silverware, so use silver bullets. As for murderers, large single-head lead bullets are very suitable.
As for the choice of firearm, the training teacher recommended a shotgun that is easier to control with both hands and has good killing range and accuracy.
One-handed weapon with natural accuracy and extremely low malfunction rate revolver.
Students basically accepted the shotgun recommendation, but for pistols most students chose semi-automatic pistols with more ample magazines.
Xie Yu followed the instructor's advice and chose a revolver, but he chose to buy two.
A short-barreled Smith .220-purpose revolver, highlighting the convenience of carrying.
There is also a long-barreled, five-shot Colt M500 revolver loaded with 50 Magnum high-power pistol bullets. It has outstanding close-range power and can be used as a hand cannon.
If it weren't for the relationship between the training class and Xie Yu's initiative to pay the full price, I still wouldn't be able to buy it.
As for two-handed weapons, Xie Yu chose the old and reliable Winchester M1897.
This gun weighs 8 pounds empty, has a barrel length of 27 inches, has a copper bead front sight, and can fire No. 12/16 lead bullets. The magazine can hold 5 rounds of shotguns, and one can be placed separately in the chamber, which can be achieved It holds 6 rounds of ammunition and has the same effective range of 50 meters as an ordinary pistol.
These purchases are not finished. The bullets used by the exorcists are different from those in the world. Through the training class, Xie Yu purchased a set of small bullet processing equipment.
It seems that buying a house should really be put on the agenda.
After seeing Xie Yu's behavior of "throwing money", Xie Yu, who paid for an M1911 semi-automatic pistol in installments, swallowed his saliva and expressed his willingness to be his "little brother".
For Marcos, who was several years older than me, it was okay to be a friend, but just to be his younger brother.
Back in the city, Xie Yu came out to register at the community college and paid the registration fee and tuition for the new semester.
It is the "renovation" of a two-story red brick villa in the Esno District that was purchased with a full payment of 150,000 yuan.
Especially the renovation of the basement and garage showed Xie Yu's full heart.
This "Esno District" is a wealthy area in the entire Big Apple City. The residents are mainly white middle-class people. Police cars are often patrolled and the crime rate is low.
As for the original house, it would be too much of a loss to just cancel the lease.
More than two months have passed and time has entered autumn.
Today, in the basement, a homemade pentagram alchemy table!
Xie Yuzheng continued alchemy using the cursed horn comb and the Indian blue soul jar as references.
Suddenly, the telephone extension in the basement remembered. Watching the tape player read the incoming call signal, Xie Yu secretly said: "Here he comes..."
In the past two months, most of the trainees in the training class have found jobs. Of course, many of them have returned home to continue their family's exorcism business after obtaining "exorcism qualifications" in the training class.
After all, this industry is more about "bloodline" than other industries, and it is more about inheriting the father's legacy!
Xie Yu is one of the few who has not been assigned. One of the reasons is Xie Yu's "originality" and age.
The M500 five-shot .50 revolver that Xie Yu ordered in full has not arrived. The only ones that have arrived are the Winchester M1897 and the self-defense .22 Smith short-barreled small revolver.
The call from the church finally came today. It seemed that the discussion on Xie Yu's "work" arrangements was finally over.
After answering the phone, Father Kahn first cared about Xie Yu's life and studies, and did not directly talk about Xie Yu's work arrangements.
Rather, according to the records he found, the original person should have had an aunt, but this aunt died unexpectedly more than 20 years ago.
In this way, the welfare organization did not arrange any relatives to support the young original person, but Father Kahn found the original person's aunt's family through his connections.
The original aunt died unexpectedly, and the original uncle and his two cousins have indeed been engaged in exorcism work!
Xie Yu instantly understood what Father Kahn meant, that he wanted his uncle's family to introduce him to the family.
Don’t think that the West doesn’t talk about kinship, they actually talk about it in a more hidden way!
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yu put down the research in his hands and started to go upstairs to wait...
Over there, Father Kahn put down the phone and thought to himself that Carl is such a smart boy!
In fact, Father Kahn was a little unsure about Xie Yu's arrangement. He originally planned to let Xie Yu, who had awakened the power of the Paladin, go to the inquisition under the church.
It's a pity that Xie Yu was directly rejected because he was not a legitimate son.
He was placed in the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, and the director with whom he had a good relationship had just been transferred to another city. The new director was a Protestant believer, so Xie Yu refused because he was too young.
If he was placed in one of those exorcism offices... he knew Xie Yu's earning power, and naturally he didn't want to be wronged if he was not short of money.
Therefore, Xie Yu's work arrangements were delayed for a while, until further screening of the identity information of the source of Xie Yu's power as a paladin revealed that his uncle, John Winster, and his family had joined the exorcism ranks.
Father Kahn suddenly had an idea. It would be a good idea to use the power of blood as a connection.
After contacting John Winchester through connections, John Winmaster was also very happy. Unexpectedly, his deceased wife had a nephew who had awakened supernatural powers. He immediately left a message for his two sons and asked him to pick him up. He also took charge of the trip. Undertake practical teaching tasks.
Some words can be understood at a glance. Since he has attended the exorcism training class, he has actually expressed some recognition. Xie Yu does not mind entering this "exorcism" circle of friends, but he does need a suitable entry method.
Father Kahn's method, family, blood.
Indeed, Xie Yu didn't have many reasons to refuse, so he just accepted it like a donkey.
Looking at the time, Xie Yu took out the marinated venison legs, venison, deer steaks, and fish that had been boned from the storage space, put them into several newly bought trays of different sizes, and sent them to the steamer. Start the slow test at the medium set temperature.
After acquiring the venison, mainly the gun, the training class organized a gun test session with the goal of hunting deer.
Applications have been made, and each student has received a temporary deer hunting permit. Of course, each student is limited to one deer.
The main target is the male deer because its antlers have an "exorcism" effect.
After hunting a male deer and obtaining the antlers, the training class can help process them into a "magic weapon" for self-protection.
In fact, the exorcism effect of antlers is better than that of pure salt. The purpose is to give students the opportunity to "kill". After all, it goes without saying that the world of exorcism is dangerous. Since you enter this world, you must dare to do it.
Most students hunted deer, and after obtaining the antlers, they buried the deer's carcass. For Xie Yu, it was such a waste...
Some of it was secretly dug out and read in UU. The other part was obtained directly from others. The Western world knows that apart from the ingredients... naturally it cannot compare with the big foodie empire.
As for deerskin, the almighty holy power can help, remove dirt, remove oil, disinfect, press evenly, use high temperature, soften, and puff.
Xie Yu is very experienced in this aspect. One piece of deer skin consumes 2 pounds of venison, which saves a lot of money.
While hunting deer, I passed by a lake connected to a river. There were many Asian carp in it. That head...
Anyway, storage space. , there are now more than ten Asian carp over one meter.
As for how to deal with it, Xie Yu naturally learned a Western-style meditation and knight's breathing method in the training class. This was a very confidential matter in ancient times. In fact, many private households have hidden it in the modern shared society.
The method of knighthood, like the traditional martial arts in the country, has long since declined with the long-term peace of the world.
How to control the Muchen Bead, the so-called meditation method and breathing method, has long been practiced by Xie Yu to a great level. However, when it comes to the perfect instinctive stage, it may still be due to the deep-rooted differences in understanding between Eastern and Western cultures. There has been no progress since the training class.
You can only let the Muchen Bead help you operate while sleeping, creating a pseudo-instinct similar to perfection.
