Chapter 128: Tentacles and Vatican

Europe, Italy, Rome.
Plaza of Spain,
At this time, it is 4 pm. In the afternoon, the gentle sunlight shines on this baroque building, plus the crowds playing around the square and the leisurely travelers outside the English cafes on both sides of the street. Extraordinarily chic and elegant.
Next to the Trevi Fountain, famous for the movie "Roman Holiday", there are a couple of lovers who toss coins from time to time. The bottom of the pond has been thickened. If all the fish are collected, it is better than grabbing the bank ... well ... don't think about fishing, this is one of the most important sources of income for the local government.
In the alley of Wishing Pool, the barber shop where Audrey Hepburn had made classic short hair in the movie was long gone. In its place is an ice cream parlour.
Li Mo was standing in front of the bright glass showcase, and drooling. Dude shook his head and gave him two big portions.
Why can't I eat ice cream when I come to Italy?
Wrong, you ca n’t call it ice cream. Even in English-speaking countries, Italian handmade ice cream still has its own term.
The color is rich, the taste is mellow, and various combinations are available.
After the wind and clouds wiped out one, Li Mo took the other while tasting carefully, and sat down leisurely on a bench in the Plaza of Spain.
Next to the fountain, many children laughed and ran about barefoot in the water. Many couples take selfies on the square stairs with their mobile phones, which is also one of the classic scenes of the movie.
About half an hour later, Li Mo got up and left here, and took a train to the Vatican at a railway station not far away.
He bid farewell to busy Tony a week ago and traveled to Europe. While in Paris, he received a call for help from the exorcist Thomas, and the old guy of Marcus was injured.
Which of the Dharma pills he traded for Marcus had been used up long ago, and the old man suffered a strange injury this time, and did not heal for a month.
The desperate Thomas thought of Li Mo.
They are good friends anyway, so even though he is not a doctor, Li Mo came quickly.
The train is the classic old-fashioned carriage, classical and chic, divided into compartments.
Most of the passengers were passengers. A couple from the UK sat opposite Li Mo, and they kept playing with their mobile phones.
Li Mo stared out the window, muttering in his heart. Needless to say, the horse's injury must have been suffered during the exorcism.
What surprised him was that even the Vatican was helpless?
After coming to this world, Li Mo long ago abandoned his original worldview. Aliens, black technology, gods, devil, anything can happen.
Although no trace of these guys has appeared in the movie, Li Mo dares not to underestimate these powerful religions. Who knows what is behind ...
After getting out of the car, a large number of hawkers rushed up, selling various souvenirs in their hands, and the outside of the station seemed chaotic.
There are tourists everywhere, and there are even hundreds of meters of long queues outside some famous attractions. The rampant noise is endless.
Is this TM the Vatican?
Li Mo was messy in a gust of wind, and there was an illusion of returning to the previous May Golden Week.
"Hey Lee, here!" Thomas waved his hands non-stop after the crowd.
Li Mo shook his head and walked over, "Let's go, find a quiet place to speak, your place is really eye-opening."
Thomas nodded, and led Li Mo to avoid the large and solemn religious buildings, and walked through alleys to a secluded monastery.
"The outside belongs to the secular part, we belong to the hermitage inside the Holy See, and many clergymen don't even know that we exist." Thomas introduced as he walked.
Li Mo scratched his head. How did this routine sound so familiar?
"By the way, did you quit your drug addiction?" Li Mo suddenly remembered, admonishing, "It's best not to touch it."
Thomas' expression was awkward and bitter, "It's not my fault. On your birthday party, I was stunned by two thieves and let a devil take possession of him. The guy became addicted to drugs and even took me ... "
"And this matter, why don't I know?" Li Mo's eyes widened. "And this wonderful devil, what happened to that guy?"
"I don't know." Thomas' face was also full of doubts. "The guy controlled my body and bought something, and after some weird rituals, it disappeared completely."
"What did he buy?" Li Mo asked.
"Some cannabis and poppy seeds, what does he do with those stuff?" Thomas asked, scratching his head.
Li Mo's face was weird. "Don't care what he wants to do, I think you might relax later."
"No, you're wrong." Thomas's expression became serious. "Since last month, the frequency of various spiritual events has become higher and higher. Real visions have also appeared in many plausible places. I It feels like something big will happen. "
"What is a major event?" Li Mo shook his head with a mock smile. "This unlucky world is undergoing major events every day, and I am not surprised that the earth will be destroyed someday."
"It's not the kind of aliens, and I can't say it." Thomas sighed and didn't speak again, with a solemn look leading the way.
The monastery looks very old, and many building walls have mottled traces. On the smooth masonry trail, there are frequent clergymen dressed in plain clothes. Unlike the bright guys on the outside, each of them looks dull and bitter.
"All these guys are bitter monks." Li Mo shook his head and joked smoothly.
"Well ... they are real ascetic monks." Who knew Thomas admired it back.
Li Mo was stunned, did the bitter monk have to suffer?
Since coming to the Vatican, everything here has been different from what he imagined.
Led by Thomas, the two passed through a small mossy courtyard and stepped on the stone steps to a room on the second floor.
The room looks very rustic, with bluestone floors, simple white paint on the walls, and a wooden cross hanging from it.
The furniture was in the simplest style, the wood was a little black, Marcus was lying unconsciously on the bed, and a middle-aged nun was sitting by her side.
Seeing the two men entering the room, the middle-aged nun quickly stood up and said with a worried face: "He has another wound on his body. I worry that he won't last long, God bless."
"Trouble you, Mother Janet. Don't worry, Marcus will get better." Thomas nodded.
After the nun left, Li Mo immediately stepped forward to observe Marcus' injuries.
After Thomas removed the bandage, Li Mo found that Marcus was covered with various wounds of various sizes, some like penetrating wounds, some like being smashed by blunt objects, and some burns. Marcus closed his eyes, his brows frowned, and his expression was sometimes horrified and frightened.
"Tell me in detail what happened." Li Mo said with a frown.
"He went to deal with a phantom event last month, and was immediately brought back to a coma. After that, these wounds began to appear strangely on his body." Thomas replied, "Because of my condition, I didn't follow him. He and another A priest named Chieri is a temporary partner. "
"What about Father Chieri?" Li Mo asked.
"He's been sued, and he's discussing the case with a lawyer." Thomas's face was a little strange. "It'll be here in a while. Ask him for details."
"Aren't you Paladins?" Li Mo was surprised, Thomas shook his head and sighed deeply.
"Forget it, save his life first." Li Mo did not continue to ask, took out a strong pill 2.0 from his arms and shoved it into Marcus's mouth.
After Marcus swallowed instinctively, the wound on his body began to recover quickly, and his face gradually improved.
But then Li Mo frowned, and Marcus's newly recovered chest appeared again as if cut by a sharp weapon, and the blood quickly leaked out.
Thomas hurried over and said to Li Mo after he had stopped bleeding skillfully: "This is the case, and we don't know what to do."
"Don't you have the kind of priest who can dispel the negative state and perform holy healing?" Li Mo asked curiously.
"This is not a game." Thomas's mouth was a bit bitter. "Marcus is the most experienced of us. Our name sounds good, Templars. But in fact, it is not popular in the Holy See. And it is constantly falling. "
"How is that possible?" Li Mo's face was incredible.
"How is that impossible?" A voice suddenly sounded at the door. "It only concerns economic and religious influence. How much darkness we have repelled has no meaning to them."
Li Mo looked up and was a middle-aged Italian man with a reddish nose and a slight thankfulness.
"Thank you for coming." The man walked quickly to Li Mo and stretched out his hand. "I am Father Chieri."
After the two shook hands and sat down, Father Chieri began to complain constantly. "We are a group of outdated guys. We only want to fight the darkness in our minds and we cannot make money for them."
"How is your lawsuit ..." Thomas asked suddenly.
"Don't mention it ..." Father Kieri sighed and introduced what happened.
A week ago, he exorcised a woman who came to her door and failed. Despite the agreement in advance, the woman's husband brought him to court.
Although he showed a video of the woman crawling barefoot on the ceiling, the judge could not rule him innocent.
Because after the storm in the city, this matter has become more simple. Science is still religion, and no one dares to make a ruling easily.
Speaking of which, Chieri's expression was a bit mocking, "Hundreds of years ago, we slander science as heresy. Hundreds of years later, we were treated as superstitions. Decades ago, people tried to explain exorcism with science. Dozens Years later, everyone was eager to see the phenomenon of spirituality. The most cases we have received in these years are the young people with brain disabilities who went to explore the places where spirituality is high. Do you think it's funny? "
"Don't say it, strengthen your faith, Father Chieri!" Thomas shook his head. "Tell Mr. Li the specific situation when you and Marcus went to exorcise."
"Okay, I'm sorry," Father Chieri sighed. "This is how it goes ..."
A month ago, a weird phenomenon in a small town in Baden-Baden, Germany, caused many children to disappear, and some adults showed symptoms like Marcus.
The local police had no clue, so the priest in Germany reported the situation to the Holy See.
Chieri and Marcus went to Baden-Baden, and Marcus showed this symptom the night before staying at the hotel.
Chieri sent Marcus back overnight. He did not find any clues after a week of investigation in the local area, but could only rush back.
"Based on experience, what do you think it will be?" Li Mo asked curiously.
"It's like a cricket, but that kind of thing only presses the bed or makes people dream. It won't happen or take the child away," Chieri said doubtfully.
"In this case, wouldn't you ask for help?" Li Mo pouted his lips.
"Is there any master?" Chieri smiled wryly. "Marcus is the most powerful person I know."
"Don't you know Kama Taj and Master Gu Yi?" Li Mo looked surprised.
"What's that?" Thomas was curious.
Chieri's expression was serious, "I've heard some rumors, and I've seen some plausible records from the Holy See's books. Is there really this person?"
"It's no wonder you exorcists are trying hard one by one." Li Mo shook his head. "You don't know anything about the world."
"If there are any of these people," Chieri smiled bitterly. "Do you think they will deal with us based on the Holy See's practices for thousands of years?"
"Do it yourself!" Li Mo snorted angrily.
"This is not the time to say this." Thomas shook his head. "Marcus' injuries can no longer be dragged on, and there are still people dying in that town. And there are so many children!"
"Theoretically, like this, they should have sent someone to deal with it." Li Mo scratched his head, "Is something wrong ..."
"Are we going to find them?" Thomas asked anxiously.
"This, I know that Kama Taj has three most holy sanctuaries in Nepal, London, Hong Kong and New York." Li Mo was a little embarrassed. "But the guys secretly set up enchantments one by one. I don't know where they are. . "
"What should we do?" The two priests were dumbfounded. UU reading books www. uukanshu.com
"First find a way to save Marcus." Li Mo shook his head. "I have a way to see the energy flow, which may be helpful for the current situation. It is that my power is a bit scary, you must be mentally prepared."
"It doesn't matter, we are exorcists," Thomas said, shaking his head.
Chieri even taunted, "We are not rigorously trained, but from the colleges."
Note: The Vatican established a class on exorcism in 1999. A diploma is issued as long as the money is paid.
"Okay." Li Mo nodded and summoned big eyes with a wave.
Watching the strangely sized eyeballs floating around in the air, the two priests swallowed and took a careful step back.
"Ah ~! Demons have invaded the Vatican!"
At the door, the middle-aged nun Janet screamed and fainted ...
