Tolkien ran after him, Shouting loudly, and stopped Lu in front of the living room.
"400 shillings! Please you have to help my son."
Lu Li stopped and looked serious. "Mr. Tolkien, the ghost possessed by Henry is very powerful. It is not for me to solve it.
Tolkien pleaded, "But I don't have that kind of money... 500 shillings! Five hundred shillings, Mr Exorcist, please save Henry..."
Lu is not taking any chances. Bypassing Tolkien to leave. Suddenly, a feeling of being snooped on came to him, and he turned his head.
In the corridor, at the door of Henry's room, a shadow retreated behind the door and the corner of his coat disappeared.
"... ?"
Lu Li heart slight movement.
"Mr. Exorcist?" Tolkien was surprised. He thought Lu had changed his mind.
The FACT IS INDEED SO, THE LAND LEAVES SLIGHTLY ponderOUS HIND SAY: "I CAN TRY, BUT DO NOT GUARANTEE EFFECTIVE."
"Then please!
Accompanied by Tolkien, Lu Li reentered Henry's door.
The figure lying on the bed motionless, as if just Lu Li saw the figure is just an illusion. Henry's pale lips moved as if they were saying something, matching the whispers that echoed through the air.
"Henry... Henry......"
Tolkien whispered his young son's name, who did not respond, his blank eyes fixed on the ceiling.
Lu Li did not rashly enter the room, he stood at the door, the line of sight a little bit swept every corner of the room.
He found the source of the whispering, the prayer-like whisper that came from the cupboard at the foot of the bed.
Take a deep breath, exhale, and walk into the room with Tolkien watching.
Lu Li walked to the cabinet at the foot of the bed, part of the attention fell on the figure in the bed, part of the attention fell on the whispering cabinet, the last part of the attention fell on the window covered with curtains.
If anything supernatural happens, Lu Li won't hesitate to jump out the window.
However, Henry did not reveal anything to Lu Li about the intruder until Lu Li stood in front of the cabinet.
The whisper became clear, and as the land moved away from the squat, the sound suddenly amplified, almost in the ear side echo.
In the innermost part of the cabinet, a white linen cloth was draped over something that was the source of the sound. After a few seconds of hesitation, Lu reached into the cabinet and opened a corner of the white cloth.
Lu Li was able to see what the object really looked like, and the murmurs in her ears sounded as if they were coming from the dark forest.
The black thread on the top of the object looked like the tentacles of some unknown creature, and the angular, dark brown shape spread ominously, gaping in the middle of the object like a deep, frightening gap.
That is a vacuum tube radio playing a broadcast.
The Kailsace Cathedral Channel, which broadcasts Mass from the church every day at noon.
And so it was...
Lu Li put down the white cloth, covered the radio again, stood up and opened the drawer.
Some envelopes lay quietly in a drawer.
"Mr. Exorcist?"
Tolkien whispered at the door. He did not understand Lu Li's series of actions.
"I need to know why Henry is possessed by the spirit first, whether through some medium or directly."
Lu Li picked up the stack of envelopes and his peripheral vision fell on the bed.
A line of sight was coming from the bed.
"Mr. Tolkien, has Henry been exhibiting any unusual behavior lately, like..." Lu Li opened one of the envelopes at random and unfolded the paper. The lines were beautifully written, and Henry's name mingled with a chorus of adoration.
"... Are you too close to the opposite sex?"
Tolkien froze, thought of something, but before he could speak, a hysterical shriek burst through the room.
'You're all going to die! Hahahahahahaha! Ha HA HA HA HA!!"
Henry laughed sharply, and his penetrating white eyes rolled back like a seizure on his bed.
"Mr. Exorcist! My son... My son him!" Startled, Tolkien appealed to Lu Li.
"I see it." Lu Li closed the drawer, but did not replace the envelope, and said quietly to the door, "Then I will begin the exorcism. Mr. Tolkien, please wait in the living room."
Tolkien anxiously closed the door and left. Lu waited for ten seconds in silence until Henry's convulsions calmed down and he said, "Tell me why you pretend to be possessed by a ghost."
With these words, the room fell silent.
"Hehe hehe hehe... You will die! You're all going to die!" Henry squealed from ear to ear.
Hua -
A stack of envelopes fell on Henry when Lu Li threw them, and one of them hit him right in the face.
"Because Tolkien didn't approve of your relationship with Evelyn?"
Lu Li understated a word let Henry stop all action. After a few seconds of silence, Henry took the envelope from his face. "You... How do you know... ?"
"Tell me the details, and perhaps I will be persuaded not to tell your father."
Previously ferocious Henry at this time like a young adult tender boy, he hesitated to tell Lu Li the reason.
Henry and Evelyn met on the beach and, like most teenage girls and boys, were hormonal and immediately attracted to each other and fell in love. But trouble also appeared, Henry did not have time to tell his father he had a girlfriend, was the father preemptive arrangement of a fiancee.
Henry, of course, did not want to, but Tolkien was always strong in the family, only the youngest son of Henry naturally did not have the right to retard, and after discussing with Evelyn, he decided to pretend to be possessed by the spirit.
"Why pretend to be possessed by a ghost?" Lu Li asked.
"Then my fiancee might get scared and call it off..."
"And the result?"
"I did it! Henry's pale face lit up with joy.
"But you didn't know what to do next, so Tolkien invited me over."
Lu Li's words made Henry fall silent.
After a moment Henry looked up and pleaded, "Will you tell my father?"
"Do you ever do that again?" Lu Li asked rhetorically.
"Never again, I swear!
"I'll keep a secret." Lu Li replied.
The result was the best of both worlds. Lu Li got 500 shillings and Henry got out of his father's engagement.
Except Tolkien.
If the stingy Tolkien had known that his youngest son pretended to be possessed by a ghost and cost him 500 shillings, he might have left himself with only one son.
At the end of the commission, Lu Li had no meaning to stay here. After turning off the radio in the cabinet, she turned to the door.
As the door closed, Henry's mouth on the bed suddenly grew cold
The door that is about to close opens again, Lu Li figure appears in the door, go and return.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Exorcist? Henry looked up.
A heavy mist hung over the earth
Among the ruins of the city, traces of the past left by mankind have not disappeared from the land
The glory is gone, and men hide like rats under the fire. The high black sun symbolizes that this place has changed hands -- this is their paradise
What is rising beneath the surging depths, a sticky murmur in the void, and strange yarn-curdled Outlines watching silently
The poisonous eyes flicker from under the bed, the evil breath lingers in the inner world, the whisper of enchantment surrounds the ear, and the horror walks among the ruins
Evil thrives, humanity darkens
Lu Li grasps redemption, steps towards them, the pace is firm
