In the slums on the outskirts of the metropolis, Coven was sitting in a rented car and talking on the phone.
The call was from Bruce Wayne.
At this time, the other party has firmly decided on the idea of forming a 'Justice League' and has begun to formally contact the members who participated in the battle.
Everyone else has already agreed, and now only Ke Wen and Farah are left.
So Bruce Wayne called Coven, who could make the decision.
Of course, Corwin would not join an organization where Superman was responsible for justice and others were responsible for the alliance, so he refused directly, saying that he had to deal with angels and demons every day and had no time to care about others.
Just as he was talking, a figure walked from the distance on the street.
Seeing this, Ke Wen immediately said: "Then let's do this for now, Bruce, I am about to deal with a demon possessing the world."
"As for the alliance, you can call Farah directly, but I guess we, 'Kama Taj', can only have a name with you and can only help when there is a major disaster."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then Bruce Wayne responded with some helplessness and disappointment: "Okay, Covin, but I hope you can also put your name on it. This will allow the alliance to have more advantages when facing the government in the future.
The right to speak."
"You can do whatever you want with this."
Ke Wen agreed to this request. Seeing that the person was getting closer and closer, he finally said: "My target has appeared. Hang up first. Oh, by the way."
Thinking of something, Ke Wen then changed the subject and said with a smile: "Bruce, help me ask Diana when I have time, and tell her that I'm still waiting for her call."
"Is this okay?" Bruce Wayne said helplessly: "I would rather be your intermediary in other aspects, but this topic..."
"Do me a favor." Ke Wen smiled and said, "No need to say more, just remind her."
"Okay then..." Bruce Wayne agreed.
"That's it, see you later."
Kewen opened the car door and hung up the phone.
Putting away his cell phone, he walked towards the small apartment not far away.
After walking to the door first, he waited for a moment. When the middle-aged man wearing a small round hat approached, Coven suddenly said: "Jacob Lacy?"
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Ke Wen through the small lenses of his brown glasses, and then nodded and said, "It's me, are you the client? But isn't the person who contacted me a lady?"
"No, I am an intern sent by the church."
Kewen raised his hand and waved it in the air, as if he was holding some document.
The man named Jacob looked at the air, and then suddenly said: "I see, but what's the matter with you?"
"That's right."
Ke Wen said nonsense: "The church thinks you have a strong ability to exorcise demons, so it sent me to learn it."
[The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. huanyuanapp ]
"Learn? From me?"
Jacob was extremely stunned, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have nothing to learn, I..."
"In return."
Ke Wen suddenly interrupted and said seductively: "In return for agreeing to let me intern with you, you will enjoy discounts when purchasing holy water at the church in the future."
"Really?" Jacob confirmed in surprise.
"Yes." Ke Wen nodded and put his hand into his pocket.
He created a cross pendant and imbued it with a small amount of Holy Light.
After taking out the cross and showing it, Coven continued: "This cross with the ability to exorcise demons is also the reward for this internship."
Jacob looked at the cross.
As he often dealt with all kinds of dirty things, he soon discovered the warm feeling emanating from the cross.
This made his eyes a little excited. He stretched out his hand and nodded repeatedly: "No problem! I agree!"
However, Ke Wen flinched.
He put the cross back into his pocket and said with a resisting smile: "This is the reward that will be paid after the internship is completed."
"Ah, then, okay then..."
Jacob looked disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again.
Pointing to the door of the apartment behind Coven, Jacob couldn't wait to say: "Then let's go in! There are poor victims waiting for us to save!"
Coven smiled and stepped out of the way.
Jacob picked up the leather bag in his hand and walked into the apartment.
The two of them walked all the way to the third floor and walked along the long corridor without any lights.
While walking, Jacob looked up at the broken lamps on the ceiling of the corridor, and then sighed and said: "Darkness breeds evil, and too many tragedies are caused by irresponsibility in all aspects, such as these public lamps.
"
Raising his hand to point to a broken light bulb, Jacob continued: "People are too indifferent. Otherwise, if a lamp like this is intact, just replacing the light bulb will make it shine again, and it will not cause evil spirits."
It thrives here because of the long darkness.”
"Been taught a lesson."
Ke Wen, who was following behind, complimented him seriously.
Jacob nodded with satisfaction. He said no more and took Kewen all the way to find the house number.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The two of them didn't wait long, and soon someone opened the door.
The client is a very haggard-looking woman, about thirty years old.
After opening the door and seeing Ke Wen and the two of them, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief with fear and sadness appearing on her face again.
"Hello, Ms. Bess."
Jacob took off his hat and said hello, revealing his bald scalp.
"Thank you very much for coming!" The client took a deep breath to calm down, and then prayed: "I really hope you can help my poor sister! She, she, I don't know how she became like that!
I'm scared!"
"Please calm down Ms. Bess."
Jacob comforted her gently: "It's okay, let me take a look."
The client nodded repeatedly and turned sideways to let the door open.
Coven followed Jacob into the dark room, and the two of them looked towards the bedroom at the same time, because there were frightening roars and collisions inside.
Under Jacob's questioning look, the client nodded to indicate that he was there.
Seeing this, Jacob walked directly to the bedroom door without fear.
Click!
The door handle turned, and Jacob pushed the door open without any precaution.
This made Ke Wen stunned.
So reckless?
He was quite sure that the Jacob in front of him was just an ordinary person.
But looking at how confident the other party is...could it be that the other party has really mastered some special exorcism method?
With his interest aroused, Coven followed Jacob's footsteps into the bedroom and saw a woman with her limbs tied on the bed.
The woman was struggling and screaming, and her twin children were completely covered in white.
The temperature in the room was very low, and while the woman roared, she breathed out white mist from her black mouth.
Kewen walked into the bedroom and took a look at the woman. He found that what was possessing her body was just a little devil that couldn't even be called a fish.
A little devil of this level can only scare people, and may not even dare to harm others after possessing it.
It's not that he's restricted by any rules, it's that he can't beat him.
They are unable to fully control the possessed body, and they cannot even control the balance of the body.
Therefore, if you control your body to hurt others, you will probably be knocked down easily with one punch.
After discovering this, Kewen looked at Jacob, who was not nervous at all.
The other party's calmness made him doubtful again.
Is it because of his strong ability, his familiarity with strange things, or some other reason that made Jacob so confident when facing the devil?
Before Ke Wen could think about it, Jacob made a move.
He placed his handbag on the desk next to the door and took out a Bible from it.
Jacob didn't even look at the demon that was roaring in terror. Instead, he opened the Bible indifferently, looking for the exorcism scriptures he would use later.
At this moment, the little devil who was struggling and roaring on the bed suddenly froze.
It half-raised its body and looked carefully at Jacob's side face.
The next moment, the milky white eye mask in its pair of childish eyes disappeared instantly, turning into eyeballs with vertical childish eyes.
After looking at Jacob again, the little devil couldn't help but test out: "Jacob?"
This call made Jacob finally lose his composure.
He turned to look at the woman on the bed and asked tentatively in the same tone: "Varak?"
"Heh, heh heh haha..."
The woman on the bed suddenly smiled, as if she had met an old friend in a foreign land.
And Jacob also smiled.
He pointed at the woman on the bed with great joy and said: "Shit, are you kidding me?"
With that said, Jacob directly pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed.
Just like a conversation between old friends, Jacob asked the devil how he was doing recently using words mixed with profanity.
The devil named "Varak" said that he is still the same, always cautious in hell, and looking for every opportunity to come to the human world to steal some fear to eat.
Then, the devil asked Jacob how his recent performance was.
Jacob said helplessly that the exorcist industry was too complicated, and most of the business was taken away by a force called "Kama Taj".
And most of the remaining small business was snatched away by a man named 'Constantine'.
After complaining to this point, Jacob couldn't help but raise his hand and pat the devil with relief.
After patting the woman on the chest, Jacob smiled and sighed: "Fortunately, I have you, Valak. If you hadn't provided me with business from time to time, I might not even be able to afford holy water."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The devil possessing the woman couldn't help laughing as if hearing a joke.
As if Jacob had told a successful joke, he also burst into laughter with his mouth wide open.
Snapped!
Ke Wen, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his forehead. What the hell is this?
