Chapter 229 Information from the Priest

"Although, I really want to chat with you about the secrets of the spirit world..."

His eyes fell on the half-melted candle in front of him.

"But in reality, we don't have enough time left."

Spike had no choice but to interrupt the conversation between Father Merlin's spirit and Amanda and the others. Looking at the flickering figure, he asked about the main purpose of this channeling.

"So, can you tell me, what kind of existence is it that killed you, Father?"

"..."

Hearing Spike's question, Father Merlin's face was silent for a moment, and then he spoke slowly.

"In fact, I didn't wake up to its existence until the moment of death."

"After entering the spirit world, I have been thinking about the reason for its appearance, until one time I met Innocent III, who is known as the Emperor of Emperors, in a worship, and I learned something from it. Their existence is the weirdness of the evil spirits that descended from the lower spirit world into reality. They are twisted and crazy... It seems that they are carrying out some purpose. I originally wanted to ask Innocent III more Many, but soon this Innocent III fell into his own memory again..."

Innocent III was a historically famous existence. During his reign, the power of the Holy See reached the peak in history. He actively participated in the political struggles of various European countries, and once forced the kings of Britain, Denmark, Portugal, and Switzerland to surrender.Launched the Fourth Crusade, suppressed the heretical Albigensism, and approved the establishment of the Catholic Dominican Church and the Franciscan Order.

But perhaps, celebrities like Houdini and Conan Doyle appeared too frequently before, causing Amanda and others to become a little accustomed to it.

"So, from the fragmented and distorted memory, I only remember the name that killed my existence."

"The Crooked Man!"

"Twisted people?!"

Washington, BSI headquarters.

Hearing the name that Father Merlin said, the expression on Spike's face changed slightly.

On the other side, Amanda couldn't help but murmured with an expression of memory on her face.

Noticing the look on Amanda's face, Spike blinked thoughtfully.

His eyes swept over the half-burned candles on the coffee table, and then he spoke.

"Sorry, Father, it seems like the time has come to say goodbye now."

While talking, Spike touched the ring on his finger, reaching out to extinguish the flame of the candle.

However, just a second before his fingers touched the candle, Spike paused slightly, lowered his head to hide his expression in the shadows, and asked in a slightly trembling voice.

"Perhaps, Father, have you met them in the spirit world?"

Hearing Spike's question, the priest sighed, shook his head and comforted him.

"In fact, the spirit world is extremely vast, and it doesn't mean anything that I haven't met them."

"You are right Father."

Maybe it was the priest's consolation that helped, or something else.

In short, after hearing the priest's words, Spike raised his head again, and the expression on his face seemed to remain the same as before. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said to the priest in front of him.

"Good-bye, Father, then."

"Goodbye, no, for a short time, I hope to not see you all, the Lord bless you."

Nodded, shook his head again.

With the priest's final "blessing", Spike snuffed out the flame of the candle wick, and the priest's blue figure also disappeared under the eyes of everyone.

"So, this is the result of psychic?"

In the office, looking at the position where the priest disappeared, there was a long silence.

Detective Zhou opened his mouth and said to Spike.

"Just got a name?"

"Sometimes, a name can mean a lot, especially for psychics."

Compared to Detective Zhou who was at a loss, Spike seemed to have a plan.

"This time, you can't act alone, Spike!"

After seeing the expression on Spike's face, Amanda spoke immediately.

"Father Molin's death is also a case of BSI, so all your actions in the future must bring us along."

Amanda's words made Spike slightly surprised, he looked up at the female detective, paused for a moment on her firm face, then shrugged and nodded.

"Well, if you insist."

"However, if you want to act with me, then all subsequent actions must be obeyed by me."

"no problem."

……

"...Jonathan...Jonathan...Jonathan..."

Texas, West Forest.

In the ear, the constant shouting made Jonathan regain consciousness from the coma.

He opened his eyes, and then a sharp pain emerged from his mind.

"Wow, what's wrong with me?"

Holding his head with a splitting headache, Jonathan struggled to get up from the grass.

Looking at the surrounding scenes, especially the cars with broken glass scattered on the ground in the distance, the original vague memory gradually recovered.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

The splitting headache still existed in his mind. Jonathan reached out and snapped his fingers beside his ear. Hearing the faint sound, he judged that his ears had suffered a huge impact from the noise just now.

I don't know if my hearing can be recovered. Will BSI reimburse me for this kind of injury?

Shaking his head, he swept away the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Jonathan recalled the huge blurry creature he saw just before he fell into a coma. Although it was only a glimpse for a moment, the strange shape of the mysterious creature, especially the position of the head and neck, consisted of a slender meat rod. He couldn't forget the appearance of two sirens connected to it for a long time.

Even, as soon as Jonathan closed his eyes, the strange figure of the other party would unconsciously appear in his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Jonathan felt a little relieved when he felt that his originally weak hearing was gradually recovering.

At least he won't really become a deaf person, although this also loses the reason to ask BSI for reimbursement of injuries.

Jonathan turned his head and asked the BSI agent who woke him up.

"Ten to twenty minutes, I can't guarantee the exact time, because I also passed out during the attack..."

Because of the protection of the car, the monitoring BSI agent woke up a little earlier than Jonathan.

However, thinking of the situation they encountered not long ago, the BSI agent still had this somewhat shocked expression on his face.

He turned to look at Jonathan in front of him, only to see that the other party was also looking at him seriously.

"Say it again, louder, I didn't quite hear what you just said."

BSI agent: "..."
