Chapter 93: Possessed by Evil Spirits (Part 2)
The life of the witch hunter is simple and boring. Every day, they are either expelling spirits or walking on the road to expel spirits. This directly determines that they spend most of their time in their cars.
Sperot is no exception.
He took this car from the second-hand market at a low price. The first three car owners all died in almost the same traffic accident. After buying the car, he drove away the evil spirits attached to the car and transformed the back box into his arsenal. In this way, his most trusted partner in City X was born.
When they were in Europe, their lunches were mostly burgers and coke. The baked meat patties with semi-melt cheese were the source of their happiness in the day. Unfortunately, after coming to City X, the burgers and coke here were not cheap. Fortunately, the bun shops cost about two yuan were everywhere, which allowed them to find alternatives.
Sperot came out of the bun shop and bought a bag of buns for Gu Yun. The lunch of the two was just over ten yuan. Thinking about it carefully, he had not left the motel for some time since a large number of witch hunters withdrawing from City A to City X.
The foundation is now too busy to take care of itself, so he can only take the initiative to help his former colleagues point out the way. The old motel has become a temporary base for the witch hunters, and under his operation, the prototype of the witch hunters guild has gradually taken shape.
Unfortunately, compared to the official witch hunter guild, they really lack funds.
"Your business is in a downturn, so I want to find some part-time jobs."
Sperot was eating buns and sighed. Fortunately, the prices in City X were low, and he still had some savings in the past. Otherwise, the descendants of the Winchester family would have really fallen to the point of sleeping on the street. "In the past, the Demon Hunter Guild could provide bounties, but most people in City X did not believe in the Demon Hunter, so it would be difficult for us to find a business."
"I heard you're dealing with demons lately."
Gu Yun directly touches the theme.
Although most of the witch hunters have always appeared as "poor, weak and helpless", in his opinion, Sperot and others still have many advantages.
They have extraordinary intelligence, learning ability, and ability to summarize. They still found the whereabouts of the demons after losing the Demon Hunter Guild.
“This is a commission from the Foundation branch.”
Sperot did not deny that Chen Jiang provided them with a lot of remuneration on the issue of demons, which could barely allow them to settle in City X.
The witch hunter is also a human being, and he also needs to make some money. It is not embarrassing to make some money.
"Also, our ancestors happened to have dealt with demons, and we still have more experience in understanding demons than ordinary people."
"I'm here to ask you about them."
So far, Gu Yun has encountered two status demons, but judging from what he heard a few days ago, in addition to the seven great demons who are competing for the rule of the abyss, many ordinary demons that can be attached to humans have also poured in City X.
"When I was still in Europe, I heard two mainstream statements about demons."
Sperot thought for a while and said, "In the first statement, demons belong to a special group. The basis for this statement is mainly from the era of King Arthur. The most representative demon is the Flame Demon. According to the information, it is a giant monster that exists deep in the volcano and is made of magma. They are similar to the general term for many weird creatures. Before being sealed by King Arthur and Merlin, the harm of demons can be seen everywhere.
"This statement continued until the early 15th century, until the Holy See redefined the demons, who divided the weird creatures of King Arthur's era into the ancient demons and distinguished the demons that could be attached to humans - many people believed that most of these demons were transformed from humans, and the souls of the sinners would fall into the abyss after their death and become what they are today in endless torture."
Sperot personally believes that in addition to providing a new idea, the second statement is mainly related to the policies promoted by the Holy See at that time.
After the second statement occupied a certain market, the Holy See implemented various methods that could prevent you from escaping into the abyss after death.
Of course, these methods cost money.
Through such propaganda, they have collected a considerable amount of wealth from people.
"But in fact, neither of these statements has been confirmed. After all, the history of demons has basically ended with the era of King Arthur. Even if there are demons who have not been sealed into the abyss, they have all hid in the darkness. In the dark era of the 15th to 17th centuries, cases suspected of demons account for less than 1% of the overall supernatural events."
The era when dark creatures were rampant was also the most glorious era for Winchester and the witch hunter. There were still many books related to demons preserved in the family's cellar. He used to read a few things in his spare time.
The combat power of the witch hunter is far inferior to that of vampires and werewolfs, so knowledge has become the power to arm them. Only by constantly summarizing experience from the wisdom of the predecessors can they compete with the dark creatures with their human bodies.
"Based on our recent battles with demons, their vitality is extremely tenacious and difficult to be killed."
These valuable experiences are exchanged for the blood of the demon hunter - in recent weeks, six demon hunters have died at the hands of the demon, and more than a dozen injured people.
"The main problem is that when they appear, they are almost always attached to the civilians. Although holy water and silver weapons can hurt them, they will kill the possessed civilians first. Once they encounter adverse situations, they can escape from the possessed person at any time."
In just a few weeks, more than a dozen civilians died in the demon incident. Many demons even deliberately lured demon hunters to kill civilians and then mocked them.
"At present, there is only one weapon we know that can effectively kill demons."
Speaking of this, Spello paused, "The Vow and the Sword of Victory are also relics left by King Arthur back then. The person holding this weapon is your sister."
This incident not only spread among the demon hunters, but the demons also knew that King Arthur's power had not been cut off. "Especially after yesterday's action, your sister may have become their number one target... Although she has outstanding abilities, she should still be careful. The devils' methods are despicable, and they are likely to use the people around her to deal with her."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yun felt thoughtful.
Sperot confirmed his conjecture.
Under his guidance, Sperot parked his shabby car at the gate of a high school—the same trick, the last time the demon had used it.
After parking, Sperot's face was serious.
