S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quinjet flies in the stratosphere. It must be said that this aircraft is adaptable to various tasks. Although it is slightly inferior to the main aircraft of the same level, its comfort level is incomparable to those main aircraft.
"Why are you following me? The director of SHIELD can't be so free, right?"
Geralt, who was resting with his eyes closed on the plane, didn't even open his eyes as he asked Hill opposite him.
Hill was doing his daily work on the tablet while replying to Geralt: "I have to evaluate the situation of these mysterious events before I can give an answer to the World Security Council, whether to let SHIELD get away from these things.
, the experiences of hell are not representative..."
Hill's words made Geralt open his eyes and look at the person opposite him again. He could see from Hill's soul that Hill was not lying.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say that? The right person does the right thing... By the way, I have a question..."
Hill stretched out the tablet in front of Geralt. On it were some supernatural incidents that the military had dealt with.
Pointing to the action report above, Hill asked: "If the darkness is so powerful, why can these soldiers handle it? Don't we need professionals?"
"Please, can you please take a closer look? There are reports of suspected ghosts and suspected zombies, and then directly bombed with thousands of pounds of aerial bombs. Under this kind of firepower, low-level demons will be immediately chilled..."
"Yeah……"
Hill took the tablet and recorded Geralt's instructions on it.
"You still don't give up..."
"Even if this part of the power is stripped away, SHIELD still needs to have basic response methods, and cannot just rashly fill in human lives... Can flames cause damage to demons with physical entities?"
"Yes, but the type of demon must be determined and the temperature must be high enough..."
Just like this, Ravensfield arrived in the midst of questions and answers.
This small western town used to be most famous for its theater. This theater was once the main economic pillar of the town of Ravensfield, but after an accident, the entire town fell into silence.
"Yes, flying in this direction, the landing place is not in a small town..."
In the cab, Geralt directed the pilot to fly along the waterway, and finally stopped at the edge of a forest cabin.
The roar of the Quinjet's engine made everyone in the house come outside to look at this aircraft they had never seen before.
Clint emerged from the crowd and walked towards the Quinjet. He recognized the equipment that belonged to SHIELD. He was once a member of SHIELD. He had to find out the origin of this plane.
However, when the plane door opened, Hill appeared in front of Clint, causing Clint to take a step back unconsciously and straighten his body.
"Director Hill, I didn't expect to see you here..."
"Clint...have you really quit SHIELD?"
Hill's voice contained no emotion for this former S.H.I.E.L.D. employee, as if he was just confirming something trivial.
"Yes, I am a hunter now..."
Clint answered Hill in a positive tone. Clint was the first person to clarify his identity. Since his family was threatened by vampires, Clint has always wanted to be at the forefront of fighting against darkness and give himself
The family strives for a safe environment.
"Apprentice, you are just an apprentice! Don't think about becoming a full-time employee all day long. If you had the ability to become a hunter, you wouldn't ask me to take action..."
Geralt walked out of the cabin, while preaching to Clint, he stood in front of Hill, blocking Clint's figure.
"Okay, tell me, apprentice, what exactly caused you to summon me."
While Geralt was talking, he looked at a tree by the pond in the distance, as if there was something on the tree.
"I met an exorcist couple here, and they were said to be here to help. Today, I saw a body hanging on the tree outside the building, but I turned around and disappeared. And there has always been
A shadow follows me..."
When Clint explained the reason for summoning Geralt, two people, a man and a woman, walked out of the crowd. They came out and stood next to Geralt and said: "I am Ed, and this is my wife Rowling.
We are also here to exorcise demons..."
"Ed Warren, Rowling Warren, I know you, the Exorcist Warrens, but aren't you certified by the Catholic Church? Why does the power on your body belong to Kalim, oh, and there is also a bit of profound power.
.”
Geralt's words made the Warrens change their expressions. Rowling stepped back while her husband Ed explained.
"Pope Sullivan gave us an opportunity to protect my wife from the whispers of those demons, and the price was for us to join. But we definitely did not make a deal with the darkness, and Netherworld was just a disguised asylum from Pope Sullivan...
…”
Ed's explanation was accompanied by Geralt's scrutiny, and finally Geralt stopped looking at them, allowing the Warrens to breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Geralt looking at the tree by the pond, Ed said: "My wife also saw the witch hanging on the tree, but the power of the witch was too strong, and I couldn't get close at all.
"
As he spoke, Ed gathered a little white light in his hand, but it quickly disappeared.
Faced with such an explanation, Geralt's unspeakable words greeted him.
"If Lloyd is so angry that you can't even use a little recovery technique?"
Geralt's words made Ed a little ashamed. As a priest, he must read the Holy Scriptures thoroughly. The name Lloyd belongs to the main god of the White Religion. Kalim is a member of the White Religion.
"Still practicing, still practicing..."
Ignoring Ed's quibbles, Geralt pouted at Clint and said towards the tree: "Go ahead and chop down that tree. Hunters never finish these empty tasks, and usually just do it directly.
"
With his goal in mind, Clint eagerly walked towards the big tree. When he drew his flame-enchanted sword by the tree, the sky changed.
A dark cloud enveloped this area, making the entire environment dark.
"Don't worry about anything else, just do it!"
Geralt urged Clint. Clint regained his composure and struck the tree with his sword.
The wailing sound like a banshee penetrated the heads of everyone present, causing these ordinary people without any protection to squat on the ground and cover their ears.
Clint was also stimulated in this way, but his body was no ordinary person now. The flaming sword attacked continuously without any stagnation.
As the gap in the tree widens, the wail also decreases.
And now, those who could bear it watched as Clint's sword slashed flames on the tree, and the tree also oozed black sap in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
But the speed of sap production could not match Clint's sword swing speed, and the gap became wider and wider, and finally, the tree fell.
"Geralt, you have to come and see this!"
Clint seemed to have discovered something and called out to Geralt.
The curious people came closer and discovered that the center of the tree was actually made of human bones. They were originally the annual rings of the tree, but they became the pillars of human bones.
Rowling, one of the Warrens, saw this scene and fell into a psychic state. She kept whispering what happened.
"Sacrifice, the witch sacrificed her children and separated their bones and flesh. The bones were buried here to strengthen her place of sacrifice, and the flesh and blood was buried in the room to attract the next victim..."
Luo Lin, who said strange things, seemed to everyone to be a psychic being discovered, and she kept dodging.
Her husband Ed hurriedly used his half-baked miracle and lit a bright light next to Rowling.
Stimulated by the light, Luo Lin broke away from the psychic and breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I was almost discovered, but fortunately there was darkness that covered her eyes..."
The behavior of the Warrens caused greater panic. The owner of the house wanted to leave with his children, but with Ed's explanation that the devil could not be shaken off, he could only place his hope on these exorcists.
Geralt, on the other hand, was checking something next to the fallen tree, letting Hill and Clint come to the side to see if he had discovered anything.
Geralt pointed to the shape of the tree and said: "This tree is wrong, it has been pruned..."
I saw a huge side branch sticking out from one side of the tree. This was the hanging place where the witch strangled herself and committed suicide. The other branches were very small.
"Uh~ Can't everyone see this?"
"Where did the other branches of the trees that were spawned by the witch's sacrifice go? Have you ever thought about this?"
Geralt's words struck everyone's mind.
"Does that mean there are more than just witches?"
"Who knows? Besides, this witch who sacrificed her whole family can't be called a demon, she's just a minion of hell..."
Geralt's words, although said lightly, made everyone present feel anxious.
Luo Lin recovered at this moment. She pinched the necklace on her chest and said: "Before coming here, I got the communication method of the saint. I can contact the saint. Maybe she can provide help..."
Geralt still didn't know that Sullivan actually gave Irina's contact information to this couple. It seemed that this couple was very important in Sullivan's research.
Geralt did not pay attention to Sullivan's plan, but instead expressed his own opinion on the decision.
"It's too late. It's going to be dark soon. The saint is talking about Irina, right? Yiguo won't let her walk alone at night. Besides, NY flew here and there is not enough time..."
Geralt's words undoubtedly poured cold water on everyone. Facing the sun that was about to set, everyone felt as cold as the coming night.
"But the most important thing now is to make a delicious dinner, and leave the rest to me..."
Geralt twisted his neck as easily as he was doing stretching exercises, and then walked towards the house.
Halfway through, Geralt turned around and said, "By the way, Clint, dig out that tree and burn it all..."
Now that Geralt is the backbone, the atmosphere of the whole house is not as solemn as before. The owner of the house and his children tried their best to make a sumptuous dinner.
When Clint, covered in dirt, returned to the house, the sumptuous dinner was over.
Looking at the messy dining table, Clint's sad and tired eyes made everyone present feel distressed.
"Stop pretending, go to the kitchen yourself, I left food for you..."
After receiving Geralt's reply, Clint rushed to the kitchen happily.
Not long after, Clint, who was holding a bowl of food and eating while walking, came to the side of everyone.
"This is too delicious..."
Before Clint could finish speaking, in front of everyone's eyes, Geralt quickly drew his sword and chopped off Clint's head.
