Chapter 203

Pasadena.

As an emerging city, because it is close to Los Angeles, its development is quite good, but because transportation facilities such as trains and airports have not been fully laid out, the housing and land prices here are relatively cheap.

Therefore, it attracted a group of people with certain knowledge and family background, but who might fall into the middle class at any time, to settle here.

And the John family was in such a situation.

The wave of unemployment came too violently, and they had to move. In order to celebrate his wife's pregnancy, John bought a globally limited doll at a store. His wife Mia loved collecting these dolls the most.

However, they didn't expect that it was this doll that caused all the disasters.

In a newly moved house somewhere.

"Mia, listen to me, don't be afraid, we have moved. Father Perez said that as long as we are not afraid of demons, always maintain a positive mood, and believe in the power of belief, God will bless us."

John held his wife's hand tightly. Although he was very afraid in his heart, he still tried hard to give his wife courage.

Mia's face was haggard, sitting on a chair, "John, I'm so scared."

She held the child, her eyes constantly wandering, as if she was guarding against something. Obviously, John's statement did not bring her much sense of security.

To this day, she could still remember what happened that night.

That was the night her husband gave her the doll. The neighbor's family was suddenly killed, and two murderers, a man and a woman, broke in to commit the crime. Although they were finally shot dead by the police, she was also stabbed and sent to the hospital. More importantly, the doll her husband gave her began to have problems after that.

The power in the house was cut off, there was an inexplicable feeling of being watched, figures suddenly appeared, and it even caused a fire, causing her to give birth to the child prematurely...

These various things all indicated the strangeness of this doll.

But whether it was moving or throwing away the Annabelle doll, they had tried it, but the result was no change. The doll would come back as soon as it turned its head, and then continue to trigger various strange events.

As for the priest's words, she didn't know if it was useful at all, because the doll had never disappeared.

During this time, she couldn't sleep well, couldn't eat well, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse.

She looked at her husband haggardly.

"John, do you still remember that night?"

"The female murderer committed suicide holding the doll and left an A-shaped symbol on the wall."

John's face looked ugly when he heard this. How could he not remember? That night, he almost lost his wife and child.

And that symbol...

To be honest, their generation, growing up in a country like America, even if they hadn't seen things related to cults, they had definitely heard of them, and the most commonly used means and iconic methods of cults were various strange ritual symbols and bloody sacrifices.

Since childhood, parents had warned them not to touch those strange patterns, because you don't know if it's something left by a cult.

This thing was almost integrated with America, forming a culture, and even common sense!

Therefore, the female murderer holding the Annabelle doll before committing suicide and leaving a symbol was the most obvious signal!

This was also an important reason why he directly abandoned the doll.

But the doll was too strange.

Even if he invited a nearby priest, the effect was minimal, but now he had no other choice.

"I, I think it's a curse. Many legends say that demons torture people just to make them voluntarily give up their lives. For the sake of the child, I..."

"Alright, don't worry, I've discussed it with Father Perez. I'll take this thing to the church tonight. In the church, it will definitely be suppressed."

John forcibly stopped Mia from wanting to continue, and told her what he was doing now. Facing demons, the best way John could think of was to send it to God's territory.

Perhaps the word 'church' still had some effect, and Mia finally relaxed her spirit a little.

But at this time.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Mia gripped her husband's arm tightly, her eyes nervous, and the child in her arms also cried. John felt pain, but still patted Mia's back of the hand, "I'll go see."

Mia took a deep breath and held the child, ready to go over with John.

At this time, the knocking stopped.

"Mia?"

A woman's voice came from outside.

The two breathed a sigh of relief instantly. The voice outside was Mia's neighbor, a kind black woman, Evelyn.

"I brought Father Perez, are you there?"

Click.

The door opened.

The black woman Evelyn walked in, and beside her was a white-haired, white-haired old man wearing a black priest's outfit, looking very peaceful, it was Perez.

After a brief greeting, Evelyn ran to talk to Mia and look at the child by the way. Because of some past things, she liked children very much.

John came to Perez, a little excited, "Father Perez, you finally came."

"Sigh, sorry, I'm late. Something happened temporarily today. A supernatural event also occurred in another part of this city. I couldn't help it, so I contacted a friend of mine who happened to be nearby to help, and also told that family some things, so I came so late now," Perez explained.

John shook his head, he didn't care about those, he just hoped Perez could take this doll away as soon as possible, and in two or three steps, he brought Annabelle over.

Perez looked at this doll, his eyes solemn. He picked up the cross pendant on his chest and leaned close to the doll.

But he gained nothing.

No movement at all.

Just like an ordinary doll.

Perez frowned deeply. If John didn't lie to him, the doll in front of him should be the carrier of the demon, but how could it have no reaction to the cross?

This is not right.

"Tell me in detail about everything that happened after this doll came to your house."

John then repeated everything.

Perez frowned, A-shaped symbol, demon, torture, no reaction to the cross...

At this time, a voice came, Evelyn walked over, "I think I know who it is."

?

Perez looked at the black woman in surprise.

"Mia told me a lot about this these days. You know, my family runs a bookstore, and there is a lot of content about this in it. I checked, that symbol represents a demon named Malthus."

"It specializes in torturing the weak and fragile, in order to devour their desperate souls, or forcing them to harm their close relatives, watching their choices, whether it is a collapsed desperate soul, or a dedicated soul that commits suicide and sacrifices for relatives."

"And it is probably eyeing Mia and her child now."

Likes to torture the weak, forces people to make choices, devours desperate souls or dedicated souls.

It really fits the taste of a demon...

Perez's face changed again and again. He keenly noticed one thing: in the supernatural side, except for some special demons (fallen angels, fallen gods, etc.), those who are qualified to choose the taste of souls are generally great demons!

Those who don't care, as long as it can bring fear, are ordinary demons with no taste.

If it were in the real world, it would be the difference between an ordinary noble who just crossed the class and an old noble with inheritance.

So, if what this Evelyn said is true.

Then this Malthus is a great demon!

What is a great demon.

Able to hold leadership military positions in the demon army, can lead quite a few ordinary demons, countless half-demons, demon offspring, evil spirits, and the strong among them can even hold deputy positions beside demon god-level existences, such as deputy legion commanders, which are great demons.

It has a double gap in power and status with ordinary demons.

It is an existence qualified to alarm the Vatican, the headquarters of the Church.

But fortunately, it is not a true demon.

If it were a true demon, he should be thinking about how to send a message to the Vatican now.

But even so, the incarnation of a great demon is not easy to solve. If he takes it into the church, can it really be solved?

Perez was silent.

He didn't have this experience!

"Father Perez?" John looked at him hopefully.

Hoping he could say something like before and give a solution.

Perez opened his mouth, but still couldn't say any comforting words. He really wasn't sure!

Finally, in silence, Perez dialed a phone again.

"Hello, Ed, I think we can't handle the two supernatural events separately."

"I found a big guy here."

"..."

Since one person can't do it, then call for help!

"Let me think, who else can help us nearby."

Just when Perez was thinking about calling for help.

On the other side.

Warren, who had just arrived at the place Perez said in Pasadena and started exorcism, was stunned.

Before, after the couple handled an event that looked like a haunting but was actually man-made, they were ready to go back and rest for a while, but they happened to receive a call from Perez, a friend they met in their adventure experience.

Knowing that he was encountering two supernatural events, they volunteered to go over and help.

But now that they had just arrived, and just started exorcism, Perez made a distress call.

This made him feel a bit numb.

"Lorraine, we have to be quick, something happened to Perez, there is an incarnation of a great demon rioting there."

"Okay, I will find her as soon as possible," Lorraine said seriously.

What they were dealing with here was an evil spirit called the Weeping Woman.

That was an evil spirit that had specialized in killing and plundering other people's children for hundreds of years. It is said that because her husband cheated, in anger, she drowned all her children in the river and then committed suicide by jumping into the river.

After that, she turned into an evil spirit, weeping and wandering in places with water, taking away other people's children and bringing misfortune to others.

In short, this was an evil spirit with a history of at least a hundred years, and its strength was unpredictable. Before figuring out the specific situation, it needed to be handled carefully.
