Flipping through the photos in the dossier, every deceased person in the photos was sitting cross-legged on the ground, even in death, a blissful smile lingered on their faces.
On the skin of these deceased, a large number of incense sticks are inserted, exuding an invisible eerie sensation.
Looking at it, Sun Yan felt an inexplicable nausea, hurriedly lighting a cigarette to suppress the slight nausea in his stomach.
"Explain the specific situation." Sun Yan put down the photo and asked Henry.
"These bodies were all found in the sa house. My people investigated the identities of these dead people; they had no interactions in their lives, completely strangers to each other, yet they died together in the sa place. This is what puzzles ."
Henry drew out a piece of information from the file, pointing it out to Sun Yan, "The hoowner is this Asian, a Southeast Asian. He smuggled into the country from Texas four years ago. Since then, he has been living in Saint Anna City, with no job, relying entirely on the district’s poverty relief als. He originally lived in the district park but suddenly rented this house six months ago."
"Suddenly beca wealthy? That’s suspicious." Sun Yan continued to ask, "What about the other deceased?"
"Among the deceased, there’s a patient with depression, who had no friends usually, a mber of a city charity organization, an eighteenth-tier movie star, more detailed information on the deceased is in the file. Father, you can take a look yourself."
Sun Yan flipped through the pages of data, shrugging, "This seems more like a murder case or a cult brainwashing rather than an Evil Spirit incident. You got the wrong person, you know I’m not a criminal investigation graduate."
"No, no, no, Father, this is definitely related to an Evil Spirit event. I’m very certain."
Henry solemnly poured out a small-sized pad from the dossier, unlocking it with a password, then played a video on it for Sun Yan.
In the pitch-black screen, a beam of flashlight light was shining on the ground, showing the person holding the flashlight walking up the stairs.
"Brady, this apartnt is the most dilapidated building in the whole Shajiao District. Are you sure there’s a thief dumb enough to co to this place to rob?"
"That’s what the old man on the phone told ."
"Shit, I wish the caller was a Black guy, so I wouldn’t have to respond to cases in this elevator-less apartnt at 1 a.m."
"Stop complaining, we’re almost at the 7th floor."
"Shit, where are the rooms on this 7th floor? You got fooled by that caller."
Zzzt! Zzzt! Zzzt!
Suddenly, a burst of static noise sounded in the video, and the whole screen twisted with wavy lines, accompanied by a few seconds of white snowflakes.
Soon, the video returned to normal, but the scene captured now had undergone a chilling change.
The previously pitch-black corridor suddenly turned completely red.
On the 7th-floor corridor, two red lanterns ca into Sun Yan’s view, next to which, on the snow-white walls of the corridor, suddenly appeared a pair of couplets.
But in the middle of these couplets, there was no door.
In Sun Yan’s incredulous gaze, a white police officer appeared in the fra, as if an invisible person opened a door for him through the wall.
Soon after, this officer walked directly into the white wall, and the video abruptly stopped.
"This is a video found in the police body cam footage of two officers who responded to a call last night in Shajiao District. One is now missing, and the other is ntally unstable. I couldn’t get anything out of them about what they encountered last night. Coincidentally, the cri scene of this murder case is also in the apartnt they responded to. I suspect there might be so connection between the two incidents."
Henry handed the pad to Sun Yan, "The suddenly appearing lanterns, the couplets pasted on the white wall, are completely inexplicable scientifically. Although Shajiao District isn’t the central area of Saint Anna City, if we let Evil Spirits fester there, the consequences will be very serious. That’s why I ca to Gospel Town to seek your help, Father Jackson."
"Shit." Sun Yan looked distressed; this situation was beyond his expectations.
The danger level was obviously greater than the Mirror Evil Spirit.
"I’ve always admired Father Stevenson; his exorcism abilities are unparalleled in my mind. Since you’re his grandson, I believe your abilities should be aptly described in the Eastern saying as ’surpassing your ntor.’ On behalf of the Shajiao District Police Station, we sincerely hope to receive your assistance," Henry said earnestly and respectfully.
"I’ll find ti to go to the cri scene to see the situation. By the way... doesn’t your police station have any unclaid corpses?" Sun Yan asked hurriedly, a flash of inspiration hitting him.
"Corpses? Yes, the police morgue is nearly full, all holess people without green cards. So healthy ones are sold to dical schools as dissection corpses. The unclaid ones are cremated. Father, do you need one?"
"Have soone bring one to my graveyard today. I have a use for it." Sun Yan nodded, feeling slightly pleased.
As long as he could complete today’s task of ’just seeking a corpse,’ rewards would be earned.
This might elevate the safety level when investigating the murder scene further.
Although Henry didn’t understand what Sun Yan wanted a corpse for, he didn’t ask much. As a veteran officer, he’d encountered many priests and exorcists, knowing how mysterious and peculiar this group can be.
So exorcists, for the purpose of exorcism, would use many bizarre tools, including but not limited to grinding geckos into a paste, then saring it on dried toads. These aren’t things conventional thinking can comprehend. As long as this group’s power is needed, just follow their requests.
Henry naturally saw Sun Yan in such a light, and a call to the police station had soone pick an unimportant body from the morgue, delivering it by special vehicle to Gospel Town.
"Father, I’ll leave these materials with you. I have so matters back at the police station, so I’ll head back first. Let know when you’re heading to Shajiao District; I can accompany you to see the scene."
Wrapping up discussions regarding the Spiritual Consultant role, Henry got ready to depart. Evidently, there were indeed many matters at the police station. Upon leaving, Henry encountered Joles returning.
Being the one who recomnded Joles to the graveyard to seek help from the Father, the friendship between Henry and Joles was evidently quite strong.
After exchanging pleasantries and inquiries, Henry drove quickly away from Gospel Town.
"I currently have no clear thods to deal with Evil Spirits. Although I received the General Sun Mask, it seems I can’t realize its power without the help of Divination."
Sun Yan turned and walked into the room, continuing to read "Mountain Chasing Manual." As the essence of his grandfather’s lifeti exorcism experiences, he must thoroughly learn all the key points in this book to handle Evil Spirits with ease in the future.
