"Give me back my cross."
Chen Yuan extended his hand.
Father Iller paused for a moment, then remembered that the ostentatious, jewel-encrusted cross was still in his pocket.
That was something Chen Yuan threw to him as "protection" before the exorcism.
He took it out and handed it over.
Chen Yuan took the cross and waved.
Father Iller felt as if he had been granted a pardon and turned to leave.
The dormitory fell silent.
Chen Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding the cross and looking at it over and over.
The gemstones refracted a rainbow of colors under the sunlight, dazzling the eyes.
"It really has been blessed."
He was talking to himself.
The item description was accurate.
There was indeed an energy in that cross, fiery and pure, somewhat similar to the psychic energy within him, but not quite the same.
He put the cross away and glanced at the system panel.
[The host has rewritten the fate of Chris's daughter, Regan, and successfully obtained 100 Life Essence.]
World Quest (1): Exorcise the demon from Chris's daughter. Completed. 100 Life Essence awarded.
Chen Yuan stared at the two lines of text, his brows furrowing.
"This amount of life essence is far too little!"
What can two hundred Life Sources do?
He sighed, leaned back, and lay down on the bed.
Chen Yuan lived a peaceful life for the next few days.
I get up early every day to sweep the yard, water the flowers, and learn to celebrate Mass from Father Iller.
Occasionally, when church members came to the church, he learned how to greet them, how to smile, and how to comfort them.
Life was as bland as a glass of plain water.
If there was any drama, it was Detective Kindman.
This guy comes almost every day.
At first, it was "passing by," then it was "just stopping by," and later it was simply sitting on the bench at the church entrance, waiting for Chen Yuan to come out.
He was very interested in the exorcism ritual performed by Chen Yuan.
Of course, it could also be because of the case.
Kindergarten already had a preconceived notion about the death of director Berk.
It was Chris's daughter, Regan, who did it.
He didn't believe that a little girl could push a grown man out of a window; it didn't conform to the laws of physics, common sense, or his years of experience in handling cases.
But the facts are right in front of us.
The location of the window, the location of the body, the eyewitness testimony—all the evidence points in the same direction.
Unless there really is a demon.
But how can he write a report?
"After investigation, it has been determined that director Burke's death was caused by demonic possession, and the case is closed."
If it's written like this, the higher-ups will definitely send him to meet the devil as well.
Kindeman's current idea is to first determine whether it was really the work of a demon.
If so, he would attribute the case to an accident.
But first, he wanted to see the devil with his own eyes.
"Father Chen."
That afternoon, Chen Yuan was sweeping fallen leaves in the yard when Jin Deman came over again.
"Could you take me with you on the next exorcism ritual?"
Chen Yuan glanced at him sideways.
There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Are you sure?
"certainly."
Kindeman answered very decisively.
"Alright."
Chen Yuan leaned the broom aside.
He happens to need an assistant right now to help carry things and do odd jobs.
Father Iller is too old; it would be troublesome if he kicked the bucket on the way.
Kindeman paused for a moment.
He didn't expect to succeed so easily.
"Father Chen, you agree?"
"Um.
""
Chen Yuan nodded.
"But let me make this clear: if you end up wetting your pants in fear, I won't be responsible."
Kindeman's lips twitched.
Just as they were about to say something, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.
Father Iller walked in from outside.
His face looked terrible.
Two men followed behind her.
They were all dressed in black priest's robes, with serious and expressionless faces.
Standing there, they looked like two guardian deities.
"List."
Father Iller walked over, his voice a little tense.
"Come here for a moment."
Chen Yuan glanced at him, then at the two people behind him.
He tossed the broom to Kindeman and walked away.
"This is Father Rhine, and this is Father Hart."

Father Iller explained.
"They're here to talk to you."
"conversation?"
Chen Yuan looked at the two people with a puzzled expression.
Father Rhine, the one on the left, taller with his hair neatly combed, stepped forward.
"Father Chen."
His voice was calm and devoid of any emotion.
"We have received a report that you performed an exorcism without investigation or notification to the church. Please come with us for investigation."
Chen Yuan was taken aback.
He looked at Father Iller, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
What's going on?
Father Iller was willing but unable to help.
He had already said a lot of good things about Chen Yuan on the way, but the two priests from the investigation team wouldn't listen at all.
"Is there any evidence?"
Father Iller asked at the time.
We will investigate.
Father Rhine answered.
"The girl is all better now!"
We will investigate.
"The demons have all been driven away!"
We will investigate.
It's just this one sentence over and over again.
Father Iller could only look at Chen Yuan with a helpless expression.
"You...go with them."
Chen Yuan remained silent for two seconds.
Then he nodded.
"OK.
He turned and followed Father Rhein and Father Hart outside.
Kindman immediately moved closer to Father Iller.
"Father, what's going on?"
"Chen was reported for performing an exorcism."
Father Iller looked displeased.
"I wonder which guy did this!"
He got angrier the more he thought about it.
When they arrived, he was still speaking up for Chen Yuan, but the two of them immediately said, "Please produce evidence."
What evidence is left?
The demons have all been driven away!
Father Iller plopped down on the bench, beginning to worry.
Who can I ask for help?
He knew a few people in the parish, but he wasn't close to any of them.
How about we ask Old Molin for help?
Although the old man was retired, he still had some connections in the parish.
An hour later.
Father Iller was still worrying when the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open again.
Chen Yuan appeared at the doorway.
Father Iller suddenly stood up.
"You're back?"
His voice was filled with surprise.
Kindeman glanced at the time.
"One hour."
He looked at Father Iller.
"It seems this investigation team isn't as difficult as you described."
Father Iller ignored him and strode over to Chen Yuan.
"How was it? They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
"no."
Chen Yuan smiled.
"And what about the punishment? What punishment was given?"
No punishment was imposed.
Chen Yuan shrugged.
Father Iller paused for a moment, then beamed with joy.
"Looks like there wasn't enough evidence, so they released you again!"
Kim Deok-man stood to the side, listening to these words, her face expressionless.
Release the evidence.
It feels like the church is now just like the police station.
Chen Yuan ignored him, walked to the chair, and plopped down.
"alright."
He looked up at Father Iller and Kindman.
"What are we going to eat later?"
These words were spoken.
The three of them fell silent.
Chen Yuan frowned.
Father Iller frowned.
Kindeman also frowned.
What to eat?
This question is too difficult.
