North America: An Extraordinary Life Beginning with Exorcism

Chapter 23 Father Peter's Departure

For a moment, the ward fell into silence.

"Those figures...what are they?"

The police officer stood there, his hands holding the gun trembling slightly.

There were already many speculations within the police station about the car accident, and as one of them, he had also heard a lot of inside information.

He had heard about several incidents James had dealt with that could not be explained by science, and he had also heard some news about Green.

As a self-proclaimed new-age police officer, he originally scoffed at those weird statements.

So after hearing the roar coming from the ward, he rushed in immediately and directed his attack at Green, the only outsider.

Then, he saw the strange black shadows on the wall.

"I do not know."

Green shook his head, but he had a guess in his mind.

The thing above Shadow's head reminded him of the cardinal he had seen before.

The cardinal's hat on the bishop's head had the same outline as the shadow's head on the wall just now!
"Cainite, Favio..."

Green's face was solemn.

If Seve's intelligence is correct, then the mastermind behind James's control is most likely Cardinal Favio of the Vatican.

Just then, a scream came from the door of the ward.

"what happened?"

Hearing this, Green looked up towards the door.

I saw Sandy standing at the door with two cups of coffee in her hands.

She looked at her colleague holding a gun in his hand and couldn't help but frowning slightly: "Michael, what's going on? Why are you holding a gun?"

"This……"

Faced with Sandy's questioning, the police officer named Michael seemed a little at a loss.

He wanted to describe what had just happened, but he didn't know how to express himself.

"Some misunderstandings."

Green stood up and said, "Sandy, please go and call the nurse. There's something wrong with James."

"Oh okay!"

Sandy saw that Green wanted to help Michael out, so she didn't ask any more questions.

She took a few steps forward and handed Green a cup of coffee. "This is for you. I'll call the nurse over."

Then she turned and met Michael's eyes.

"Not for you!"

After glaring at Michael, Sandy walked out of the ward.

It was not until Sandy's footsteps disappeared in the corridor that the police officer named Michael spoke cautiously.

"Hello, Mr. Green, my name is Michael."

"Hello, Michael."

"Are those shadows...demons?"

Hearing this, Green couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He glanced at Michael and found that although the police officer was holding a pistol in his hand, his face was full of unconcealable tension.

It was obvious that this person had not yet recovered from the excitement he had just experienced.

"No."

Green answered decisively, then added, "Demons don't look like this."

Judging from the current situation, the mastermind behind James's control has nothing to do with the devil.

Hearing this, Michael felt a lot more relaxed.

He let out a long breath and put the pistol back into the holster.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Green, I'm just a little nervous."

"It's okay, I understand."

Green didn't take the fact that he was pointed at a gun at him seriously.

With the Night Bats around, he was confident he could knock out the pistol before Michael fired.

For a moment, the ward fell silent again.

But Green saw Michael was hesitant to speak, clearly wanting to say something more. "If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Hearing this, Michael couldn't help but look up at Green.

Then he asked, "I heard that you and Officer James have handled some...unusual problems before. Is that true?"

"it is true."

Green did not deny this.

The reason why he acted together with James was because he was attracted by the official identity behind him.

Having such a senior police officer who has served in the military as an eyewitness can help Green avoid a lot of trouble.

After seeing Green nod, Michael's expression became very strange.

For the first time, he felt that there was a deviation in his worldview.

"Actually, you don't have to worry."

Green noticed Michael's annoyance and said, "Most people will never come into contact with those things in their lives. Even if they do, most of them are just lingering spirits that can be exorcised by finding a regular church pastor."

"Huh? Those priests can also perform exorcisms?"

"Ah."

Green was not lying, the Holy See in this world did have something.

Most priests from the Vatican can perform exorcisms, but that's about the extent of their abilities.

Just like the demon that possessed Mia last time, Robert and his wife found several priests but all failed.

Soon, Sandy came to the ward with a nurse.

After a series of examinations, it was concluded that James was just unconscious and there was nothing wrong with his physical indicators.

As for the cause of the coma, further observation is needed.

At this point, Green didn't stay any longer.

After saying goodbye to Sandy, he returned to the villa.

Vanessa had gone to bed early and Green didn't disturb her.

After taking a quick shower, he slowly opened the quilt and got in.

Reaching out to embrace Vanessa's soft and delicate body, Green slowly closed his eyes.

……

the next day.

Green and Vanessa continued to clean up the villa.

Looking at the empty basement, Green remembered the things in the church's secret room.

"We have to find an opportunity to get everything out as soon as possible."

Green stroked his chin and prepared to go check on Father Peter.

When he arrived at the church, he saw Father Peter packing his luggage.

"Father, are you going on a long journey?"

Father Peter looked up when he heard a voice. He glanced up and saw that it was Green who continued to pack his things with his head down.

"Yes, the Holy See asked me to go back and do some things."

Green's eyes lit up when he heard that. He asked tentatively, "How long will you be gone?"

"About half a month."

Father Peter replied, "If you're worried about your friend James, I could go see him before I go."

He thought Green wanted him to help James.

Green quickly shook his head when he heard that.

"No need, Father. James's problem has been solved. I came here just to see you. Since you are going out, come back and talk to me."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out the door.

Father Peter looked at Green's back in confusion, shook his head, and continued to pack his packages.

The Vatican did not explain why it called him back this time.

However, according to his own information channels, the Holy See discovered some traces of activities of dark creatures, and the location was in his hometown!

"I haven't been back for more than 20 years. I don't know what it has become..."

Father Peter was packing his things, but his thoughts had already drifted to that distant small country in Eastern Europe.
