23.03% Exorcist in America / Chapter 90: Chapter 90: It

Chương 90: Chapter 90: It

In the darkest times, no one can refuse light.

Light provides vision, energy, clarity, and truth, and naturally, it can also give Janet courage.

She stared at the flower blossoming in the palm, gently rotating, and couldn't help but look up at the priest, only to see a warm smile.

Janet blinked, something more appearing in her eyes.

"Do you want to see?"

Seeing that Janet's expression finally showed the emotional fluctuations a human should have, York asked again with a smile.

Janet blinked again, then nodded seriously.

"Okay."

York smiled lightly, then focused on the flower in his palm. The magic within him surged, and he whispered softly,

"Repello (Expel)."

He had long been displeased with the dark miasma filling the room.

[20 points of magic used]

As the mechanical sound faded, a torrent of twenty points of magic flowed from the flower. Following York's will and manipulation, a circle of light exploded outwards from the flower as the center, spreading rapidly.

Janet didn't blink, just stared at this scene, which was incredible and magical to her.

The bright but not blinding light felt warm to her, and with an unstoppable force, it quickly dispersed the dark miasma she could see, spreading outwards.

Meanwhile,

Downstairs, where Ed, Drew, and Morris were busy, and even Peggy, who was waiting outside, feeling somewhat anxious, everyone stopped their actions.

"Mr. Ed, did you feel something?" Drew, who was installing an infrared camera, looked questioningly at Ed, who had also paused.

Ed tilted his head in confusion, then shook it and continued to pull out the necessary detection equipment from his backpack.

"Drew, we don't have much time. Let's get these devices set up before it gets dark."

Seeing this, Drew had no choice but to continue his work, but he couldn't resist asking Morris quietly,

"Mr. Morris, did you feel something just now?"

Morris, who resembled Charlie Chaplin, furrowed his brow in thought.

"Yeah, it seems not as cold as before? And a bit warmer?"

"Right!" Drew couldn't help but exclaim, feeling validated.

"I knew there was something off just now!"

However, his excitement was dampened by Ed, who came over with equipment.

"And what do you plan to do about it? Stop everything to study why this change occurred?"

"Alright, Mr. Ed," Drew said, somewhat resignedly, as he took the equipment Ed handed him.

"I'll get serious."

Ed smiled a capitalist smile.

"Thank you, Drew. Help me with this, will you?"

Unknown to them, an invisible ripple continued to expand and envelop the entire house until it burst like a circle at its limit, scattering magic like twinkling stars around the house.

"Uh"

The eight-seater SUV parked in front of the yard also stirred.

Lorraine, who had been sleeping for a while, suddenly opened her eyes and looked toward the house as if sensing something.

At that moment,

Inside the room,

"Child, isn't it incredible?"

After forcibly dispersing the dark miasma throughout the house and hearing two screams, York silently noted their locations. He looked down at Janet, who was still lost in the scene, and smiled,

"So, do you want to talk about what's been happening lately?"

Hearing his voice, Janet came back to her senses, sensing a rare moment of relaxation.

"I'm a bit scared."

After speaking, Janet looked down at her shoes on the floor.

"Scared?"

"Mm."

Listening to her still hesitant voice, York's eyes lit up as if he'd found a treasure. He understood the meaning behind her words. It's rare for someone so young to have such a talent and quality.

"Child, I'm here."

York's firm tone made Janet look up again.

"It can't defeat me."

York smiled confidently.

"I have an unbeatable cheat."

Janet didn't understand the latter part, but she understood the beginning. Remembering the scene she had just witnessed, she took a deep breath.

"Really?"

Thinking of the divine bomb, York nodded seriously.

"Really."

Janet took another deep breath, this time gathering the courage to speak.

...

Downstairs was bustling.

In the dim but gradually warming room, an adult and a child were talking.

"You're saying that Grandpa Bill was actually protecting you?"

York was surprised; he hadn't considered that.

While spirits fundamentally differ from malevolent entities that harm people, protecting a stranger didn't fit the usual behavior of spirits,

Unless that stranger was a relative or someone else significant to the spirit, but Janet clearly wasn't in that category.

"Mm, he told me he came back just to see his family."

"But his family is gone, and mom bought his house."

"I see."

York thought for a moment. It was probably true, but there were still some puzzling aspects.

"Child, tell me everything you know."

Janet nodded silently.

Then the room filled with Janet's clear voice as York listened without expression.

...

"Grandpa Bill said he wanted to leave, but something didn't want him to go and forced him to scare us every night to wear down my will. He said he had restrained himself as much as possible..."

"He also said it targeted me! As long as I'm not afraid and my will is strong, it can't devour me..."

York squinted but looked tenderly at Janet, who was earnestly speaking.

To endure until now, ensuring her family wasn't harmed, shows how difficult it has been. Yet, she managed it.

Unaware of the priest's thoughts, Janet continued to share what she knew, as if finally finding someone to confide in.

"There are other monsters besides Grandpa Bill."

York tapped his knee, thinking of the two screams when he dispelled the miasma.

One must be Janet's mentioned spirit, Grandpa Bill, and the other likely the monster.

"But as long as Grandpa Bill is here, it can only linger outside."

Janet eventually talked about "It."

"Grandpa Bill isn't always there because It comes,

But It only stands in the darkness, I can't see It, I can only feel It there..."

Chương 91: Chapter 91: Preparations

Janet appeared troubled, "I can feel It right in front of me, but I just can't see It."

She couldn't understand what was happening.

York smiled, unsurprised by this outcome.

As the saying goes, gods cannot be directly looked upon unless They allow you to see Them. So, it's not that you can't see, but that you're either too weak or at too low a level.

For instance, some things are invisible to ordinary people but visible to Janet or Lorraine.

And at a higher level, things that Janet and Lorraine cannot see are visible only to him. That's the principle.

In simple terms, differences in levels determine the extent of vision and capabilities.

Of course, Janet hasn't fully developed her talent yet, like a young bird unable to see the eagles flying high in the sky.

"It's not that you can't see, but It is so powerful that It has blocked your perception."

Seeing Janet's still puzzled, childlike incomprehension, York couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.

"When you become stronger, nothing will be able to hide from your sight."

Janet seemed to grasp the meaning, about to say something, but the door suddenly opened, interrupting her.

"Mom?"

Janet turned to see Peggy entering and greeted her first.

Peggy, initially worried and deciding to check in, felt somewhat awkward upon witnessing such a harmonious scene.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt..."

She had thought their conversation might not be going well and worried Janet might put the priest in an awkward position. To her surprise, it seemed they were getting along quite well.

"It's okay, Mrs. Peggy, I was about done asking my questions anyway," York said, withdrawing his hand and standing up to smile at Janet.

"Child, there's more warmth and company downstairs. Staying alone might make you vulnerable to Its influence."

Janet instinctively looked at her mother.

Peggy pressed her lips together and nodded encouragingly.

Janet then looked up at York, who exuded a sense of security.

"Can I really go out?"

"Why not?" York replied in a light tone. "I'll handle what comes next. Child, you're free now."

Hearing this, Janet looked at her mother and then at York again.

York understood and encouraged, "It's okay, go on."

Seeing this, Janet quickly got up, no longer holding back her thoughts, and rushed to her mother, embracing Peggy tightly.

"Mom!"

"My poor, good child," Peggy's eyes were red as she hugged her daughter tightly.

York stood watching this beautiful scene, a smile on his face.

...

[17:24]

With York's intervention and the dispelling of the dark miasma, the house, long shrouded in gloom, regained its rightful appearance. Though not filled with laughter, the vitality of a family of five was somewhat restored.

Janet, Margaret, and the other three children sat on the couch, chattering and hugging each other non-stop.

Meanwhile, Peggy, seated to the right of the couch, displayed motherly affection and satisfaction despite her tired face.

On the left of the couch, Ed, Morris, and Drew, who was cracking jokes, discussed quietly.

Behind them sat Lorraine, who had woken up, smiling at something and glancing at York sitting in a corner.

This harmonious scene in a house haunted by paranormal activity was all thanks to York, earning Lorraine's respectful gaze.

Unbeknownst to her, York, looking at the couch, mused to himself.

"What kind of spirit is this? Too cowardly?"

Staring at what seemed to be a trembling, blurry figure still on the couch, York shook his head, turned to Lorraine, who was also looking his way, and decided to ask.

"Lorraine, do you sense anything?"

Lorraine, having been watching, sensed carefully before shaking her head and answering truthfully.

"Father, I don't sense anything."

Hearing this, York had no choice but to give up, sighing, "Well, we'll have to see tonight."

At this, Lorraine couldn't help asking, "Father, do you think what's happening here is real?"

Since waking up, she had been sensing but hadn't detected anything unusual. Everything seemed normal, as if no paranormal activity had occurred.

"Mm."

York didn't hide the truth, piecing together the information revealed by Janet. He guessed the situation, missing only a thread yet to be untangled.

The spirit Bill was likely good, coerced and enslaved by a more powerful being tasked with wearing down Janet's will. However, Bill limited himself to minor acts like moving Janet's position or chairs.

This powerful being wasn't just relying on Bill; it had created a monster for a second line of defense. But since Bill hadn't yet fulfilled his role, this monster could only linger in its assigned area.

The only unknown was whether this being was the nun, but it seemed highly likely.

Still, this was only speculation, and he needed to talk with the spirit Bill directly.

For some reason, Bill had been hiding all day, refusing to show himself.

York felt a bit regretful, then took out a small holy Bluetooth speaker imbued with a bit of spiritual power from his backpack, sneakily placing it under the couch, and stood up with his bag.

His tall figure drew everyone's attention, changing the atmosphere momentarily, especially Janet, who became visibly tense, watching York as if his absence meant no security.

"Father York, where are you going?" Ed asked.

"I'll just take a look upstairs. Continue here."

York smiled reassuringly, particularly at a tense Janet, before heading upstairs, disappearing from everyone's view.

"Is Father York usually like this?" Morris asked Ed after watching him go.

"Mm."

Ed's expression was a mix of resignation and amusement, "Father York does what he wants, except for necessary matters. He never needs our help for anything."

Hearing this, Morris looked at Lorraine.

Lorraine affirmed, "Father York is different from us. What we can do is just wait for his instructions."
