demon godfather

Grimoire of Wisdom (2)

Watzhailic Poo Sanfruco Molliansdier de Walter Beren, nicknamed Dog, was delighted to hear that he would go to Lakeside City with his little master (and his attendants) to exorcise demons I can't help myself, jumping up and down, screaming non-stop.Detective Gorman patted the dog's head and praised: "The little guy is so lively." Everyone tacitly didn't mention the remarks about "being a meat shield" to the dog.

Lakeside City is not far from Maple Leaf Ridge Town, about an hour and a half by highway.It was past noon when we arrived at the Eighth District Police Station where Detective Gorman was located.There was a fast food restaurant opposite the police station, and Gorman once again paid for lunch for the two young witchers out of his own pocket.The fast food restaurant doesn't allow pets, so Dominique had to tie the dog to a street tree outside the store.When they sat in the shop and ate their food, the dog could only look at them pitifully through the glass.In the end even Detective Gorman couldn't take it anymore, and bought the dog a piece of veal, which made it stop whining, as if they were cruel to animals.

The three of them didn't want to waste time, and settled the food in a hurry.Dominic finished his burger and tugged at Chris's clothes with greasy fingers: "Look outside!"

Chris ducked his fingers. "Look at what? Isn't the dog fine?"

"Not a dog, look at that!"

Dominic pointed outside the store.There was a brand new red Harley motorcycle parked on the side of the road. It was so handsome and eye-catching that even passers-by couldn't help turning their heads for it.

"Does that motorcycle look familiar to you?" Dominique asked.

Chris nodded.

"Could it be..." Dominic shuddered, "I'm sure not. It must be a coincidence."

Detective Gorman didn't understand, so: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, my friend just happens to have the same one. Just express my feelings."

"That motorcycle is a very rare model. Is your friend also in Lakeside City?"

Dominic and Chris said in unison: "Impossible!"

Detective Gorman narrowed his eyes.The two young men were obviously hiding something, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with the case.So he decided not to ask any more questions.

"Then let's go."

The three left the fast food restaurant. Dominic untied the rope from the tree, dragged the dog, and followed Detective Gorman into the police station.

"Now there is a suspect who is locked in the detention room and will be transferred to another place in the afternoon. You can give him... er... exorcism first. If it succeeds, there are still a lot of people waiting for you in the detention center."

Detective Gorman greeted the officer guarding the cell and entered with Dominique, Chris, and the dog.

The detention room is divided into many compartments, each compartment can accommodate four people, and they are all empty now.Dominique thinks that the law and order in Lakeside City is probably very good.Detective Gorman led the witcher and the dog all the way to the innermost part. Only one person lived in the compartment at the end of the corridor.Dominique figured that was what Detective Gorman called a "demon-possessed person," and that's why they didn't dare lock him up with the others.

"That's him." Through the iron railing, Detective Gorman pointed to the person locked inside.

A brown-haired man sat on the floor of the cubicle, his head bowed.His clothes were torn, as if he had just been in a fight.Hearing the human voice, he raised his head and showed a gloomy smile.His face was also covered in scrapes and bruises.

The dog barked twice, took a step back, put on a defensive posture, and let out a low growl of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"Dominic nodded: "No mistake. He is possessed by a demon."

Detective Gorman was surprised and suspicious: "Really? How did you see it? Or, your dog has a sense of a person possessed by a demon?"

Dominique shrugged: "Some of them can be seen at a glance. Their aura is too obvious, such as the one in front of us; some are hidden deeper and must be detected by other methods, such as sprinkling holy water. My dog ​​can tell Most possessed people, but not everyone."

"I see."

The man in the prison snorted contemptuously: "Ah, it's a witcher." He blinked, and the color of his eyes changed immediately, his irises turned blood red, and the whites of his eyes turned completely black.

"This is much more obvious." Regardless of the man's change, Dominic continued to explain to Detective Gorman, "As long as such eyes are exposed, it must be demon possessed."

"It's not bad, detective, you actually found a demon hunter." The man possessed by the demon said with a sneer, "But no matter how hard you try, it will be futile. No one can stop my lord from recovering!"

"What does my lord's recovery mean? Cthulhu has seen too much?" Dominique asked.

The man made no reply.Detective Gorman said: "Everyone who is possessed says that, and the 'my lord' they say is like the nobles of hell or something. I don't understand."

"So, these demons are all under the command of a great demon from hell, and came to the world together in a group?"

"I don't know!" cried Detective Gorman. "I'm counting on you!"

Chris scratched his chin: "They must be organized, maybe there is some conspiracy in the dark. Detective, what did they do to get them into the police station?"

"Robbery. But it's not as serious as robbing a bank, or robbing grocery stores or passers-by, and they were quickly spotted by the police. Although they showed terrifying abilities, they were ultimately defeated by the police."

"Strange...why would you rob grocery stores or passers-by..." Chris thought, "Is there any connection between the robbed people?"

"There is no connection between the shop that was robbed and passers-by. In fact, robberies occur every day in Lakeside City. It is not unusual at first, but in the past week, many suspects have shown the characteristics of this 'demon possessed', which has caused the situation. The gossip in the movie made me think of going to you witch hunters."

This is even more strange.thought Dominic.No matter how weak a demon is, it is several times stronger than ordinary humans, let alone so many demons together.If they act in groups, no matter how powerful the police are, they will not be able to catch them.But they scattered their actions and were arrested just because they committed some petty crimes. It was almost... like it was intentional.There must be something strange about this.It would be nice to interrogate this demon-possessed suspect.

Just as he was about to express his conjecture and borrow an interrogation room from Detective Gorman, the young police officer guarding the detention room trotted over.

"Detective Gorman, Woolley is looking for you."

"Woolley?" Detective Gorman raised his eyebrows, "What is he here for?"

"I don't know either. He seems in a hurry."

"Then I'll go and have a look. You stay here with the two of them." After finishing speaking, Detective Gorman looked at Dominic and Chris, "Is it all right? I'll come as I go."

"Of course. The two of us can handle it." Dominique was full of confidence, "The railing is made of iron, and the devil will never be able to break through."

"That's good." Detective Gorman quickly left the cell.The guarding young police officer smiled at the two of them: "You do what you want, I'll take a look."

"Speaking of which, Woolley is the detective who was in charge of the case 20 years ago, right?" Dominique recalled what the godfather said. "He is retired now, but he worked with Wolfgang before."

Chris asked, "What the hell was the case 20 years ago?"

"I don't know. The godfather never mentioned it."

They both turned to the young police officer.The young police officer said blankly: "I don't know either! I'm new. You should ask the veteran detectives."

"I feel more and more strange. It would be great if I could interrogate this guy. I don't know if Detective Gorman would like to use our interrogation room." Dominique kicked the iron railing.

"What? You don't exorcise demons anymore?" The young police officer asked nervously, "If you want to interrogate, there are still a lot of people locked up in the detention center. You can go and interrogate them. Don't leave this strange guy in our bureau." ah."

Dominic grinned: "Why are you so timid?"

"He is possessed by a demon! Is it wrong to be afraid of demons?"

That's right.thought Dominique.

"Okay. Let's expel this guy first." He took out a cross necklace from his pocket and winked at Chris, "Are you coming or me?"

"You might as well go together." The young police officer said timidly.

——You are even more timid than me!thought Dominique.

"Then let's go together." Chris grabbed Dominic's hand, and the cross necklace fell from the gap between their fingertips.When the man possessed by the devil saw the cross, his face showed pain.

"Back off!" Dominique said to the young officer.The officer immediately ducked behind them.The dog hid behind the officer.

"The Psalms?" Chris asked.

"The Psalms then," replied Dominique.

The two recited in unison: "O Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your ways straight before me..."

The man held his head and screamed: "Shut up! Damn witcher! Shut up!"

"Condemn them, O God. May they stumble because of their own schemes. May You cast them out of their many transgressions. Because they rebelled against You..."

The man fell to his knees in pain and wailed terribly.That cry is not something that humans can make, it is simply the roar of wild beasts.

"Let all who put their trust in you rejoice and shout for joy always, because you protect them. And let those who love your name rejoice in you. For you will bless the righteous."

The man staggered around in the small cell and kept bumping into the wall, as if hoping to break through the wall and find a way out.

"Psalms" Chapter 5 is also the most commonly used prayer for exorcism.When the last sentence "O Lord, you will protect him with grace like a shield", most of the demons will be forced to leave the body of the host and return to hell unwillingly.But before the last sentence was spoken, Dominic felt a chill on his neck, and grabbed the back of his neck with one hand.He only felt numb all over his body, his limbs lost strength, and he collapsed powerlessly to the ground like a puppet with broken strings.Chris is the same.Also, Dominique and Chris were so focused on the exorcism prayers that they didn't even realize the dog was on all fours and on the ground.

The young police officer changed his previous timid expression and revealed a cold smile.He stepped on Dominique's hand and kicked the cross out of his hand.

"You shouldn't show your backs to strangers." The young police officer said, his eyes rolled up and turned into red pupils with black background that only demons have.

--Oops!Got it!Dominic said heartily.How could such a low-level mistake be made?You should check your surroundings first!Careless!Now I can't move my body, what should I do!

The young police officer unloaded a bunch of keys from his waist: "It is true that demons can't break through the iron prison, but no one said they can't be released!" He smiled and found a key from it, and opened the prison door.The brown-haired man possessed by a demon staggered out, his ragged clothes drenched in cold sweat.

"Too slow!" he complained to his companions, "I almost got sent back to hell!"

"Aren't you fine now?" the young police officer said coldly.

The brown-haired man kicked Dominic and hit him in the abdomen. Dominic whimpered, unable to scream out of pain.

"What about these two people?"

The young police officer gestured to the cell with his chin: "Shut it in."

"Don't kill them?"

"The boss said that they are important hostages, and if they save their lives, they may be useful in the future. Make peace with the boss first, find the 'magic book', and deal with them later."

"Okay." The brown-haired man stared at Dominic in disgust, then patched him again, and then threw the two of them and the dog into the cell together with the young police officer, found the mobile phone from them, and crushed it directly.

"Two, enjoy your holiday behind bars!" The man slammed the prison door shut with a bang.With the sound of locking, Dominic's heart sank.
