【Photography】Exorcism Secrets

Although it was very low-key, Joseph and Aesop still encountered attention all the way down the stairs.

The reason was that Aesop was wearing his exorcist suit, and Joseph was also wearing that little English dress that seemed to come from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, not to mention that he hadn't closed his ears and tail.When he bumped into other neighbors on the road, Aesop could almost read their silent slander from their eyes:

"Why did this little brother find someone else to cosplay with?"

——Modern people who live in a numb and empty life will never realize that there are strange creatures hidden around them.

When he finally got into his car, Aesop leaned on the steering wheel and sighed in relief.Sitting next to him, Joseph asked him thoughtfully, "Do you get nervous about being watched?"

Aesop didn't raise his head, but Joseph could see his red ears from the side.Aesop's muffled voice came from under the steering wheel: "I can't say that, I'm usually not so nervous. But...it's embarrassing to be seen dressed like this, even if you're wearing a mask."

After lying on the ground for a while, Aesop finally recovered the blood.He sat up straight and started the car.Joseph who was beside him suddenly asked him, "How old are you?"

"...21. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." The second half of Joseph's sentence seemed to be talking to himself, "It's quite young."

The target location of this mission was in a small village. The client said that there were ghosts invading his life and making his wife depressed, so he asked the Exorcist Association to help get rid of it.Mission level B-, it is estimated that the association also thinks that the scope of this mission will not be too large, and it will not be too difficult; but out of safety considerations, Aesop was chosen as the candidate.

The two arrived near the location, got out of the car, and walked towards the target location.Joseph walked in front, humming an unknown song while listening to the map navigation, with a very relaxed attitude.Aesop walked behind him and couldn't help but remind him: "Joseph, do you know what to do later?"

"That's not easy. The target this time is a ghost that can't be hurt by physical attacks, so I will stand in front of you to help you resist the attack. When you finish singing and kill it, the mission will be completed. ... Is there anything wrong? ?” Joseph turned his head halfway through speaking, but saw Aesop’s frowning.

"It's not wrong, but it's not exactly right."

"how to say?"

Aesop's mask covers his face. Although half of his face is covered, the beautiful curves of the bridge of the nose and lips are clearly visible under the outline of the mask: "Exorcists have work rules. For example, this task is a commission, so I will You need to have a chat with the client before doing the task, determine what he really wants to achieve, and then deliver the task results after completion, so that a single commission can be successfully concluded." Speaking of this, Joseph suddenly interjected: " Then you won't be nervous chatting with the client?"

"It's okay... I'm not very nervous when I'm talking about business with people. I'm only nervous when I'm in daily communication."

"Oh." Joseph nodded thoughtfully.The small house at the target location during the chat between the two was close in sight, so Aesop walked up quickly: "Let me talk to the client first, you have ears and tails, which may arouse the client's suspicion."

"It's okay, I'll go with you." Joseph walked in front of Aesop again, and Aesop noticed in surprise that the man's ears and tails disappeared at some point.Can it be retracted so freely?Then what does Joseph usually do with his ears and tail? Is it for...to be cute?This idea suddenly popped up in Aesop's mind, and he was immediately overwhelmed by his own thoughts: a beautiful and powerful 60-year-old werewolf is actually cute...

The two walked into the client's house, and Aesop took out the power of attorney and asked the client about the specific situation.From the information disclosed by the other party, they learned that the situation is not serious. Recently, the host's wife often heard a faint voice calling "Mom, Mom" ​​in her ears at night, and then her body weakened day by day.The host talked a lot, all the way to the end, Aesop was still listening patiently, but Joseph interrupted him first: "Has your wife ever had a miscarriage?"

Aesop's heart moved, he turned his head, and exchanged a look with Joseph.The male host nodded: "She had a miscarriage. At the beginning, she finally got pregnant with a child. She fell at home and lost it... Sigh, I was still outside at that time, so I couldn't take good care of her."

Joseph nodded and told him to take his wife to avoid it temporarily.After the couple went out, Aesop blinked and looked at Joseph: "What is your judgment?"

"It's the ghost of the child they aborted." Joseph leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, his upright posture made him look tall, "That's why the ghost called 'Mom' at night, and he wanted to go back to his mother." In the end, it killed his mother instead. It takes resentment for an unborn baby to become a ghost, so this child may not be as simple as a fall and miscarriage; but what happened in the middle is not what we should care about thing."

"I think so too." Aesop agreed.He couldn't help but glanced at Joseph again. Joseph in front of him frowned tightly, and he lost his usual relaxed and casual look.What is he thinking about?Aesop couldn't help guessing—he didn't realize at this time that this was the first time he wanted to pry into Joseph's heart.

"Since a consensus has been reached, why hesitate? Let's start the exorcism, Mr. Exorcist." Joseph frowned, raised his head and smiled at Aesop, and at the same time made a "please" motion with his hand.Aesop nodded at his signal, took a step, and walked in the direction Joseph pointed.Joseph quickly followed, walking side by side with him.

They were going to the couple's bedroom, the "haunted" place.

Walking to the bedroom door, Aesop directly held the doorknob and opened the door without any hesitation.The door was opened, and the two saw a faint ghost floating in the air. He was very small and his body was curled up, like a baby who was still in its infancy.But when he saw the two of them, the calm expression on the baby's face gradually distorted, and he let out a miserable scream: "Mom——I want mother!"

Facing the hostile wraith, Aesop silently raised his hand, and in his palm, a group of bright lightning was slowly condensing.Joseph took a step forward, raised his sword stick in his hand and pointed at the Wraith Spirit, and the long black coat heaved automatically without any wind: "If you want mom, you can go through my level first."

The wraith screamed and rushed towards the two of them.Joseph's cross-staff held it up, and then the sword stick was quickly released. After a few strikes, the wraith was cut into several pieces; but the thing recovered very quickly, and it quickly condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it was about to pounce again.At this moment——Aesop, who had been concentrating on reciting curses behind Joseph, finally raised his hand, and the dazzling ice-blue lightning with golden sparks hit the wraith heavily, and the wraith fell silent before he even had time to struggle.

it's all over.Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Aesop: "A lightning spell with singing was chopped off. It really isn't that difficult. According to your rating, it's at most B. But why don't you use fire? Your spells are good, maybe two or three The fireball can be destroyed, it is instant, and it saves mana."

"Because you are in front of me and help me buy time to sing." Aesop took two steps forward, and his black leather boots rubbed against the ground making a rustling sound.He stopped in front of the little wraith that was gradually dissipating in the sun, and looked down at it: "Besides, this will make his death easier. He is quite pitiful."

His expression was serious and gentle, and Joseph's eyes followed him to the ground, and he didn't know what he was thinking.After a while, he raised his head, and his tone became brisk again: "Is that the end? I thought you were going to express your feelings, but you really don't have much to say."

"..." Aesop's originally suffocated mood suddenly dissipated without a trace because of Joseph's words.He glanced at Joseph helplessly, and asked a very philosophical question: "We are here today to fight monsters, but why did your topic revolve around me the whole time?"

Joseph blinked innocently, and gave a more philosophical answer: "Student Aesop, I am here to accompany you, not to accompany the ghost. In fact, I have exercised my muscles and bones today, and I feel pretty good, so next time I will Will you still come with me?"

What he said made sense, and Aesop felt that he couldn't refute it for a while.So Aesop had no choice but to agree with a complicated mood: "Okay."
