North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 750 Harvest

When Jimmy heard what the priest said, he immediately picked up the dagger and looked at it. It was stained with a lot of black blood. This was the blood of the Dusk Shadow Beast. If the priest was infected, would he be infected? I was holding the dagger in my mouth just now. Thinking about it now, was I too careless about the risks at that time?

He directly put the dagger on the shelf next to him, took off his clothes and started checking. In order to determine whether there were other wounds on his body, he even asked the assistant to come over and help him check the places on the back that he couldn't see.

The two scratched priests also made the same move, especially the priest who fell. He was more unlucky than the other one, and the scratch on his chest was deeper. This is why he immediately realized that he was infected, because The power carried by Dusk Shadow Beast's claws conflicted with his own power, and it showed up faster in him.

Jimmy had a lot of very shallow wounds on his body, which were basically scratches. They were not directly scratched by claws, but there was some bleeding, and he didn't feel anything.

After checking it again, Jimmy took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and rinsed his mouth, then walked to the side and spit it out, then stretched out his hand to press the base of his tongue and touch his tonsils to induce a vomiting reaction in himself. He vomited twice in a row before picking up the mineral water again. Rinse your mouth with water, the feeling of vomiting is really bad, the taste in your mouth and throat is a bit nauseating.

Jimmy calmed down and said, "Father, are you sure the place scratched by its claws is infected by the power? I didn't feel anything."

The priest said with an ugly face: "I'm sure, prepare the materials, and now give priority to a purification ceremony. Immediately."

The three priests and an assistant immediately took out the things they brought and began to sort them out, and began to draw purification runes directly in the warehouse. In the end, everyone who had been in contact with the Dusk Shadow Beast, including Jimmy, stood within range, led by the priest who was intact and not fighting. A temporary purification was performed for the three of them.

Jimmy looked at the exorcism badge in his hand and a piece of rag wrapped around his arm, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He could encounter such bad things, and he was really unlucky. Most people would never encounter an exorcism ceremony once in their lifetime. And he has experienced it three or four times in the past few years, and it is different every time.

These three exorcist priests are considered genuine. Even if they are combat priests, they are still very skilled in common rituals such as purification rituals. And in Jimmy's vision, he can indeed see something similar to the holy light in the church in the purification range. The energy was flowing, but he didn't feel anything abnormal at all. It was similar to the purification ceremony performed by Father White and others in St. Andrew's Church before. The energy freely passed through the body and escaped again, without any feeling of stopping.

On the contrary, the other two injured priests seemed to be in great pain. The most seriously injured priest even needed a little help from Jimmy. He was shaking all over and did not stop until the end of the ceremony.

In fact, Jimmy himself knows his situation. According to his communication with the priests just now, he can basically confirm that although he was scratched in some places by the Dusk Shadow Beast, he was not infected like the priests. There must be some temporary I can't explain it, but it is necessary to go to the church for inspection and further purification, so it is good to arrive at the church earlier.

The medical helicopter did not land directly in the hospital, but on a grassy field next to the church. After they got off the plane, they took off immediately to continue their daily business. Jimmy accompanied the priests to the church and was already next to the main altar. Some items and a holy water basin were prepared, and four priests of different ages were waiting for them.

Jimmy: "It's still in that warehouse. We made an emergency evacuation and didn't have time to deal with the body. Do you need us to bring it back? Or should we leave it to the church for processing?"

Lambert was not a person on the paranormal side. Jimmy just gave a rough outline of the situation. When he mentioned that monsters would corrupt the exorcist priest of the church, he was obviously surprised and looked at Jimmy with a frown: "That so-called Twilight Shadow Beast, where is its body?”

The priest was also a ruthless person. He was so hard up with his upper body naked. A lot of blood flowed out from the scratched wound on his chest. He didn't clean it during the purification. Now he just wiped the area around the wound with his priest's black robe. of blood, and immediately arranged for their return to the church.

After Jimmy finished the work, he and his assistant drove back to the place where they parked the car. Fortunately, the car was not taken away. Several people drove back. Jimmy went directly back to the Dallas office. Lambert still needed to explain. The accident this time was too big, and Jimmy did not expect that the energy erosion of the Dusk Shadow Beast would be so strong. On the way back, he even thought of the injured Holden before. Why was he not eroded?

Jimmy was also asked to return to the church with them. Even if they didn't know Jimmy's past, Jimmy's performance this time was worthy of getting closer to them. You must know that Jimmy almost killed the Dusk Shadow Beast by himself, and even they relied on Jimmy in time. Only by reminding and blocking shots did they avoid a sneak attack by the Dusk Shadow Beast. Judging from the current situation, even if they survived the sneak attack, they would miss the opportunity to purify because they were too seriously injured. What will happen then will really happen. Can't be sure.

In fact, this purification is only a temporary treatment, not eradication. It can be understood as a temporary suppression.

After receiving the notice from his assistant, Jimmy thought for a while and called Lambert. After briefly explaining the situation, Jimmy made a request to Lambert, requesting the bureau to arrange a helicopter to carry out the rescue as soon as possible. They took it back to the church.

The dagger stained with blood was also cleaned with holy water by the priest. However, it is not yet certain whether the effect has been cleaned, so it needs to stay here for the time being.

Lambert just confirmed the church Jimmy was going to, and then agreed to Jimmy's request. Ten minutes later, a medical rescue helicopter took off and flew towards the coordinates reported by Jimmy.

This purification ceremony was almost the same as the one performed by Jimmy at St. Andrew's Church. It was just not as grand. However, after being blessed by the church's sacred objects, the energy was obviously much stronger than their temporary purification ceremony. Finally, it was washed with holy water. After the wound was healed, it was bandaged. As for Jimmy, his scratches basically had no impact and did not require bandaging. He only needed cleaning and disinfection and that was it.

The assistant called Father Horton. After learning about the tragic situation here, Father Horton immediately contacted other people on the phone to arrange things in the church, and waited for them to return to handle things in time.

Lambert's expression changed and he struggled for a while. He knocked on the table with his knuckles and said, "Let them handle it. I'm not sure if there will be more serious consequences if our people handle it. They can't avoid being eroded, and the boys I have are certainly not immune to it either. It's easier on them, damn it."

Jimmy nodded: "Okay, I understand, then I will go to the hospital to contact Holden now and ask them to arrange for someone to clean up the scene as soon as possible. If someone discovers the scene, there will be no trouble later."

Jimmy turned to leave, but Lambert suddenly stopped him: "Jimmy, wait, Father Horton...has he..."

Jimmy took a deep breath and turned to look at Lambert: "That's what I'm worried about. I need to go to the hospital to confirm." Lambert: "Check carefully. In addition, you should also participate in the on-site processing. If there is any problem, Keep me informed."

Jimmy nodded: "Any more questions?"

Lambert waved his hand, and Jimmy left his office.

Jimmy can understand Lambert's struggle. People in high positions like them are always used to controlling everything, but things on the supernatural side are too dangerous for ordinary people. Even if they want to recover the body of the Dusk Shadow Beast for research , you also need to worry about whether something will happen to the people you handle, and if something happens, the church will definitely take a bite out of them. He is not like those people in the movie who just want to control everything, even if something big happens. No matter the problem, this is still worthy of recognition.

Back at the hospital, Father Holden anxiously asked Jimmy about the details of their actions. He didn't have time to say much on the phone before, so it was definitely better to ask in person.

Jimmy didn't hide anything. After telling the whole story, he asked: "Father Holden, I have a question. I also fought against the Dusk Shadow Beast. Why did you show no signs of being infected?"

Holden frowned and thought, this question was not so easy to answer. He carefully recalled the battle process between himself and the Dusk Shadow Beast, and finally thought of a detail. In the cave, they only lured the Dusk Shadow Beast out and were not injured. And the Dusk Shadow Beast was doused with holy water by their holy water bomb as soon as it came out. Could this be related to it?

Holden told Jimmy his guess and said that he would communicate with other priests. This matter definitely needs attention. Even Father Holden needs to go back and do a purification to prevent that evil energy from lurking in his body.

The church would make arrangements for the follow-up processing. Jimmy just said that he needed to watch. Holden did not refuse. After all, Jimmy was the main force this time, and Jimmy obviously had a close relationship with the Archdiocese of New York. After Jimmy left, Holden In addition to contacting the church, the priest also called Father Rodney in New York and asked about Jimmy's performance in New York.

Soon, the three exorcist priests rearranged their personnel to go to the location of the Dusk Shadow Beast. It is definitely not an easy job to recover such a corpse that may contain contamination, so after obtaining permission, they will directly destroy the Dusk Shadow Beast. corpse, and purify and burn the warehouse to ensure that its corpse will not cause other problems. As for the collateral damage to the farm, this cannot be controlled for the time being. It is really not possible for the farmer to ask the church to argue.

After everything was taken care of at the farm, a few people came to the cave of Dusk Shadow Beast again. This was the place where it was first discovered. There must be some unusual things inside. People from the church went in to clean it up. This time they brought There is a large amount of holy water, enough to ensure that every abnormal place in the cave is sprayed with holy water.

Jimmy was standing outside the cave. He did not need to participate in the cleaning process here. According to Lambert's request, he participated, but he was just a spectator.

When he had nothing to do and planned to go outside to smoke and wait, two priests came out of the cave and said, "Agent Yang, we need you to come in. There are some things inside that you need to confirm."

Jimmy shrugged and walked into the cave with the priest. This cave was very large. It was not the kind of cave with a height of tens of centimeters that could only be climbed in. Except for the opening, you could walk upright inside. There were even holes on the walls of the cave. You can see the roots of many big trees. Just looking at the size of the cave and the appearance of the roots, this cave will definitely not be short-lived.

All the way to a fork in the road, the priest pointed the direction for Jimmy. The two of them walked to the end of the fork in the road, where they found several corrupted corpses and skeletons. It seems that these people were captured by the Dusk Shadow Beast. This should be Where it imprisons food.

It was not easy to identify these corpses. Jimmy just looked at them and nodded to the priest. The two returned to the main road and walked down the road, finally arriving at a large space at the end.

There is a platform that can be stacked high in one corner here. There are many black marks on it, as well as some remnants similar to snake shedding. If we make a reasonable guess, will the Dusk Shadow Beast have the same habit of shedding its skin as a snake?

The priest took a stick and fiddled with a garbage pile next to the table. Let's call it a garbage pile. There were many items here, but they were old and gradually rotted in the damp and cold underground environment. Many of these items had accumulated and stuck together. Come together.

"This is it." The priest picked up a revolver for Jimmy to observe. He was surprised to find that the gun was very similar to his revolver. "We just discovered that your two revolvers are very unique, so after seeing this When I was doing it, I was wondering if you could tell where they came from?"

"Wait." Jimmy took out two more pairs of gloves, put one on himself, and put the other on the gun and held it in his hand for observation. He could confirm that this gun was basically the same as his. In this case It has not been corroded by the environment, and the wheel can still rotate freely, which is obviously not something ordinary pistols can do.

"Father, please help me find a second gun."

Jimmy put the gun on the ground and came to the pile of garbage. The priest used a stick to push aside other things, but in the end he still couldn't find the second revolver.

Jimmy looked at the priest: "Father, this gun is very important to me. I want..."

The priest waved his hand: "Keep it as a gift for us to fight together..."

Jimmy thanked the priest again, then returned and climbed out of the cave. The pistol needed to be cleaned carefully, and he could communicate with Roland later if he had the opportunity.
