New Gods of North America

As evening approached, the local exorcism department delivered two extraordinary materials to the detective agency.

Their source, of course, was the two captives the detective agency had sent over earlier, bounty hunters who had been active in the western mountains of Virginia or somewhere else.

Their other crimes were difficult to verify, but their "violent entry into a private residence with weapons and assault" was obvious.

According to the simple values of the public these days, without a meticulous lawyer to provide a strict defense, their fate was basically sealed.

Plus, they were so-called "fallen ones," so there might not even be a jury during the trial, and the local church's handling of the matter was as efficient as a Western town.

The two extraordinary materials were from the "Nature" and "Abyss" domains, respectively.

Wayne had recently consumed a large amount and was still thinking about the several carloads of people Mr. Baker had brought today. After discussing it with Lina, he decided to use them as prizes.

The "Nature" domain material was given to Connor as the prize for the first season champion of the "Arena."

The "Abyss" domain material was given to Damon McReady, who had contributed significantly during the battle but still owed a debt.

Speaking of which, the detective agency now had three guys with seemingly similar extraordinary abilities.

Damon McReady's extraordinary ability was "Mimicry," which allowed him to transform into the appearance of the last person he had touched before using his ability.

"Chameleon"'s extraordinary ability was to change the "color" and "luster" of his body surface and objects within a certain range, just enough to cover his clothes as well.

"Glass" Liam's extraordinary ability was to generate a circle of "optical camouflage" around himself, allowing him to hide in the environment.

Although all three were "disguise" type extraordinary abilities, the latter two seemed particularly similar.

However, the former two were from the "Life" domain, while the latter was from the "Nature" domain.

Wayne pondered for a moment.

He could only sigh that nature was indeed amazing...

Doug also chatted with the two exorcism department members who delivered the materials for a while.

They were considered members of the church, but not entirely the same as "clergy" in the strict sense, so many of them bought lottery tickets issued by the detective agency.

After learning the results of the duel, they recalled that most of the department had made a little money, but there were still those who lost money due to "taking a gamble."

It was Sunday, and the busiest day of the week for the church had just passed, so they could relax a little.

They planned to use this as an excuse to go back and have a meal with colleagues who weren't on duty, and also mock those who lost money.

Wayne thought for a while and took the opportunity to invite them to the detective agency for a meal.

With wine and meat, it was considered their support for the detective agency's lottery issuance.

Chef Parker's skills and the detective agency's meal standards were still quite popular. They quickly thought "this was feasible" and tentatively agreed before going back to gather people.

While the sky was still "early," the detective agency sent a carriage along.

One carriage to help pick up people, and the other to see the situation and quickly purchase ingredients if needed.

Wayne mainly thought about the people Mr. Baker had brought today.

"Four or five carriages of people" was actually a very vague concept. At the very least, it was just the four or five coachmen on the surface.

But at most, it might be like modern society, who knows how many people can be crammed into a van...

Wayne didn't know if Mr. Baker would lose face today and seek revenge overnight.

But anyway, the exorcism department happened to have the time and mood, and the detective agency "exchanging feelings" with the exorcism department wasn't against the rules.

If the other party happened to run into them, then they were just unlucky.

...

As night fell, a bonfire was lit.

Those who were willing to come to the dinner party were basically considered the "more friendly" staff in the local exorcism department towards the detective agency.

This may also be because Wayne and his partners were relatively law-abiding, and at least so far, there were no signs of bullying ordinary citizens.

So Wayne was happy to be generous, and they were welcome to eat all the meat they bought.

David Mills, as the true "bridge" between the detective agency and the local exorcism department, finally appeared in the crowd.

There were about ten people from the detective agency and about ten from the exorcism department. With so many people together, everything was naturally simplified.

Simply marinated meats were placed on plates. Those who wanted to cook could grill it themselves, and those who didn't want to cook could drink wine and wait for the chef to make "teppanyaki" on the spot.

Even the teppanyaki grill and spatula were temporarily taken from the pile of materials and urgently washed.

The original plan was to use them to reinforce the walls of several small wooden houses, and the luckier ones were propped up to become the chef's cooking utensils.

The entertainment programs that extraordinary people play together can actually be quite fancy.

Liam initially livened up the atmosphere by performing a "magic" trick of disappearing, which caused a burst of cheers.

After being asked his name by a colleague from the exorcism department, he remembered that he was still an unregistered black户 with the church.

After brushing it off with a "hehehe," he immediately became honest and turned into a waiter who kept serving plates and passing wine bottles.

Fortunately, everyone on the scene was basically a rough guy, and today everyone gathered because of the aftermath of the "duel." Connor, who had just absorbed the extraordinary material, drew a circle in the small courtyard and put on an arrogant look as if saying "I'm not targeting anyone."

The "Mini Arena" quickly became the most eye-catching impromptu entertainment on the scene.

Don't look at Connor being arrogant in the arena, he actually suffered a lot in the small circle.

Damon McReady with a "big push," Sanders with a "savage charge," Connor quickly lost two games and had to queue up again.

Cowardly Peter managed to trick two people, and punching him was almost like self-abuse. Unfortunately, the people from the exorcism department weren't fools either. Someone quickly found an opportunity to kick him hard, and Cowardly Peter's turtle shell tactics were completely broken.

Inessa was in slightly better condition, but she was still soaking in the bathtub and didn't plan to show her face.

Lina had always been popular in social situations. Although no one in the exorcism department except David Mills dared to talk to her,

But with her bringing Emma to watch and cheer from time to time while eating things, it felt like these guys were fighting even more fiercely, and the people cheering and waiting to play were also very lively.

In order to get a better view, several guys ran to the roof of the warehouse and poked their heads out from the eaves.

When they were clapping and cheering up there, it made people worry about whether they would fall down.

Wayne and David Mills seemed relatively indifferent at this moment, each carrying a bottle of wine, sitting on the pile of materials a little further behind the chef's operating table, watching the lively scene and chatting.

David Mills' position may be changing again recently. Tom Hagen has already sent a message in advance, but the specific appointment will have to wait for the cathedral to decide.

There seemed to be quite a few personnel changes in the church in Georgeberg. Several management positions in the monastery were vacant, and the pastors of two small parishes were also preparing to be replaced.

Wayne asked about the situation of the college church. It was said that Pastor Pasil expressed that his physical strength was gradually failing and had proposed a successor to the church, a young and promising pastor with a good reputation in Virginia.

This candidate's qualifications seemed to be slightly insufficient, especially in a place like the college where there were many old seminary professors. Having a young person always felt a little unable to hold the line.

But Pastor Bazzini soon reported it to the cathedral, and it seemed that no other pastor in the local church publicly raised any objections.
