"She's right here, right beside us."
"Then make her come out to see me."
Father Iller's voice was as calm as if he were talking about the weather.
"I'll untie one of the ropes for you."
Those eyes, which didn't belong to a little girl, stared at him, a complex emotion flashing in their pupils.
Then, the mouth opened.
But what he said this time stunned Father Iller.
"Iller, after I die, you must start your life anew and forget me."
The voice has changed.
It was no longer that rough, hoarse male voice, but a woman's voice.
Gentle, weary, and tinged with an indescribable sadness.
Chen Yuan stood at the door, raising an eyebrow.
He looked at "Ragan" on the bed, then at Father Iller.
The old priest's expression changed.
For the first time, a crack appeared on that face that had always been as steady as a mountain.
His lips twitched, his eyes widened for a moment, then quickly returned to their calm state.
But Chen Yuan saw it.
There must have been a meaning behind that sentence that he didn't know.
Sure enough, "Ragan" on the bed sneered.
The laughter came from the mouth of an eight or nine-year-old girl, yet it carried the sarcastic tone unique to an adult woman.
"Iller, it seems you haven't forgotten Lily."
The voice returned to its rough, hoarse male tone, but the sarcasm in it was even stronger.
"But why didn't you listen to Lily and instead joined the church, all alone?"
Father Iller did not speak.
His lips were pressed into a thin line, his jaw was clenched, and the muscles in his face trembled slightly.
Something was churning in those cloudy old eyes.
Looking at him, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that this usually calm and composed old priest looked like a taut string at this moment.
"Ragan" continued speaking, his voice carrying a sense of triumphant satisfaction at having pulled off a prank.
"Is there anything you want to say to Lily?"
It paused.
"I can help you convey the message."
Father Iller was silent for two seconds.
Then he spoke, his voice hoarse and unlike his own.
What is Lily's middle name?
""
66
""
The room fell silent again.
Those eyes stared at Father Iller, the mockery in his pupils gradually freezing into something indescribable, as if something had been exposed.
"puff""
A stream of green viscous liquid spurted from "Ragan's" mouth and landed precisely on Father Iller.
The old priest couldn't dodge in time and got sprayed directly.
A green, sticky liquid dripped down his black coat and onto the floor, emitting an indescribable, strange smell.
Then came the second bite.
The third bite.
"Ragan's" mouth was like a faucet that had been turned on, spraying out a torrent of green viscous fluid, all aimed at Father Iller.
Father Iller stood there, unsure whether to hide or not.
He raised his arm to shield his face, but the slime was everywhere, covering his hair, face, neck, and clothes.
Thirty seconds later, the jetting finally stopped.
Father Iller slowly lowered his arm.
He looked terrible.
Clumps of green slime hung from his hair, dripping down from the ends.
His face was covered in a layer of smear, even his eyebrows turned green.
The black coat was soaked through, clinging to his body and emitting that strange smell.
He looked down at himself, then looked up at the innocent-looking little girl on the bed.
"Ragan" blinked, a strange smile appeared on her lips, and then she closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.
Chen Yuan stood at the door, completely clean and unharmed.
He looked at Father Iller and said something in a low voice.
"The demon is enraged."
Clearly, the devil is not omnipotent.
Although it knew Father Iller's secret, that was all it knew.
Stumped by Father Iller's question a second time, it had no other choice but to spray.
Father Iller:
'
""
He glared at Chen Yuan.
basement.
Hot water was flowing freely, and steam filled the entire space.
Father Iller stood in front of the sink, splashing water on his face again and again to wash away the green slime.
He has been washing for twenty minutes.
The strange smell lingered, as if it had seeped into my skin.
He couldn't understand where the saliva in the little girl's mouth came from.
The butler stood to the side, holding Father Iller's discarded coat, his expression indescribable.
The clothes were covered in green stains, some of which had dried and hardened.
"Can this...can it still be washed clean?"
Father Iller lifted his head from the washbasin, glanced at the coat, and his lips twitched.
"Throw it away."
The butler nodded, took his coat, and went out.
Ten minutes later, Father Iller finally finished cleaning himself up.
He changed into a set of old clothes that the butler had found for him.
Wearing drab work pants and a large plaid shirt, he looked like a retired old worker.
He came out of the basement and bumped into Chris.
Chris came forward, her face filled with anticipation.
"Father Iller, how is the situation?"
Father Iller looked at her and remained silent for two seconds.
"Chris."
His voice was calm.
"All I can say is that performing an exorcism would do more harm than good to your daughter."
After that conversation, he became even more certain of his judgment.
Regan was just faking it.
Otherwise, like the question he asked, how could a demon not even untie the ropes binding him?
As for why she knew about Lily, why she recognized him, and why she used that past to mock him...
It's probably something I heard somewhere.
This neighborhood is so small, there are bound to be people who know some old stories.
But to think that this would convince him that Regan is possessed by a demon would be to underestimate him.
Upon hearing his words, Chris's hopeful expression vanished.
Her eyes reddened again, and her voice began to tremble.
"Father Iller, Regan's condition is very bad."
Father Iller sighed inwardly.
He reached out and patted Chris on the shoulder, trying to make his voice sound gentle.
"I need evidence, Chris, to convince the church that she is truly possessed."
,"for example?"
"For example, she might suddenly start speaking a language she doesn't know or hasn't learned before."
"Is there anything else?"
"besides..."
Father Iller paused.
"I need to do some more research; I need to look up some information on this."
Chris twisted her hands together, her knuckles turning white from the force.
"Father Iller, please tell me as soon as you finish your investigation."
"I really need the church to perform an exorcism on my daughter as soon as possible."
Father Iller:
'
""
He turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan, who was standing next to him.
He winked: Hey, say something already!
Chen Yuan blinked, looking completely innocent: Father Iller, what are you talking about?
Father Iller:
""
He took a deep breath and turned to look at Chris.
"Listen, Chris."
"Your daughter's current condition is like a mentally ill person claiming to be Napoleon; it may seem genuine, but it is ultimately an illness."
His tone was very serious.
"My suggestion is to find the best hospital and send her there for observation for a period of time."
He paused, then patted Chris on the shoulder.
"Believe me, everything will be alright."
