Following the gaze of the three students, Jessie also looked at the handso priest. He seed to be about her age.
But imdiately after, she was stunned. The priest was staring straight at her.
After a few seconds of eye contact, Jessie turned her head away unnaturally, her heartbeat accelerating slightly.
Since moving to this remote place with her family, she had very few opportunities to interact with boys her age.
Jessie wanted to change the subject, but the priest started circling her, looking her up and down.
The academy trio was just about to internally criticize this behavior in the na of justice.
But then they realized Judy had joined in.
One big and one small, both with thoughtful looks in their eyes, whispering discussions from ti to ti.
"Is there... sothing on ?" Jessie couldn't stand the scrutiny anymore.
"Miss Jessie, please drink this bottle of Holy Water. Afterward, I would like to ask you so questions."
Jessie took it with so hesitation.
She looked at the priest's face again, thinking that such a good-looking boy shouldn't be lying to her.
So Jessie pulled out the cork.
A mont later.
Seeing the evil aura tainted on the girl being eliminated, William finally lowered his guard a little.
"Recently, apart from the ghostly shadows you see from ti to ti, have you noticed any other anomalies?" William looked at her.
Along the way just now, he only found so dissipated evil aura.
He hadn't found any traces of an "Earthbound Spirit."
Even to draw the other party out, William had secretly recited the Exorcism Bible.
But the result was only purifying the vicinity a bit.
This obviously didn't quite match the "Dangerous" rating.
"I once went into the basent of the house, but..."
Jessie hesitated halfway through. She had told her father about these things, but he expressed disbelief.
"Evil spirits are very cunning. Sotis they deliberately tease a specific victim, making her gradually distrusted by others. In this way, the evil spirit has the opportunity to possess her."
William spoke at the right ti.
Jessie's eyes lit up upon hearing this; this was exactly describing her!
"Yes!"
She nodded vigorously.
"This kind of thing has happened more than once, but every ti only my brother and I could see it. But my brother... he can't speak."
"Miss Jessie, this feeling is very painful, but you still reported the anomaly to the Church. I believe you want to protect your family very much."
Jessie's heart ward instantly.
This priest hit the mark on her true feelings.
"I understand..."
She took a deep breath, seeming to have made a decision.
"During this ti, my brother started actively looking for those 'things'. I was very scared, so I could only stay by his side often."
"I really wanted to tell my parents about this, but after that accident two years ago, they are already very disappointed in ..."
Only then did everyone know that Jessie was a "problem girl" not long ago.
Hanging out with boys, underage drinking...
Until one day, her mother had to go to the airport to pick up her father, so she asked Jessie to drive to pick up her brother.
That day she happened to have been drinking, although she remained awake.
The story that followed naturally had no surprises.
Drinking and driving; these two things jointly caused a car accident.
Her brother lost the ability to "speak" because of this, and the family spent twenty years of savings on dical bills.
At the sa ti, her father faced middle-aged unemploynt.
This series of blows instantly plunged Jessie's family into poverty.
This matter had always been a thorn in her heart, but she didn't dare to confide in her parents.
Jessie could never forget her mother's screaming at her outside the ward—Why wasn't it you lying in there!
The only thing she could do was to get rid of her old bad habits.
After saying all this, she seed to get so kind of relief. Confessing these things indeed required a lot of courage.
"Don't drink and drive; looks like I have to add this to the Exorcism Safety Rules," William thought to himself after listening.
Aside, the academy trio was truly surprised to see the client open her heart so quickly.
"Psychological Counseling" was the dream skill of all academy students.
Obtaining clues about evil spirits through the client was very important.
Under normal circumstances, the information provided by the client would have many omissions.
Even, because they were in a state of extre tension when encountering evil spirits, this information would have a large deviation from the actual situation.
And in an exorcism ritual, errors were undoubtedly very fatal.
This was why "Psychological Counseling" was arranged as a basic exorcism course.
But including Silas, the grades of the few in this course were only barely passing.
However, the actual situation was more complicated, and they often faced the client's wariness.
And the speed at which William gained the client's trust just now was even faster than their teachers.
"Father William seed to give the other party a bottle of Holy Water first..."
"He fully understood the pain suffered by the client."
The three recalled William's actions just now respectively.
After this, Jessie also ntioned the recent strange things in the house.
Only then did William have so understanding of the abilities of the "Earthbound Spirit."
The other party seed to possess the ability to briefly "soften" objects.
For example, Jessie once witnessed the ground turning into a swamp in the basent, and the ghost hands erging from it almost dragged her in.
This ability also appeared in the original work, but that was the dead spirits playing tricks.
But in Jessie's description, the dead spirits beca the role of "thugs."
And not only inside the house, similar situations also appeared in the sunflower farm field.
One night, Jessie witnessed the ground outside the house "co alive."
The flowing soil condensed into a huge figure, seeming to be fighting with sothing.
This clue attracted William's attention.
He imdiately asked Jessie to take them to the scene of the incident.
William grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it between his fingertips.
"So kind of power collision did appear here, but it has completely disappeared at this mont." He thought to himself.
"In the records of the academy, has there ever been a situation where evil spirits fight for territory?" He looked at the three students.
Silas shook his head.
"Very rarely. Earthbound Spirits have strong control over their territory. Unless it is a powerful demon, it cannot be completely driven away."
"A powerful demon..." William pondered.
"But this situation is also impossible. A demon of this rank must descend to the human world through a 'Ritual'. If that really happens, this commission will beco 'Disaster Level'."
Silas shook his head firmly.
"How about we go into the house first? Maybe we can find other clues," Bent suggested.
Others agreed one after another.
But William had a bad premonition.
Hey... hey!
Combining the information provided by Flora before coming here, this kid wouldn't have inadvertently spoken the truth, right!
So under the shocked gazes of everyone, William's body retreated rapidly.
Before long, he returned to the position where they got off the car.
"Wh... what happened!"
The few panted and followed.
"Going in rashly is too dangerous. It feels safer here."
Everyone present was shocked instantly; do you have to be so scared!
Judy was also a little embarrassed; her face was not as thick as soone's yet.
But William didn't care about this; he looked at Jessie.
"Are your parents ho?"
He planned to confirm that the family was not possessed before making the next decision.
"They went to the town, saying they wanted to consult an agricultural expert about so problems," Jessie whispered.
"Problems?"
"Dad said the sunflower field seems to have died."
