[Random Mission: Exorcise the evil spirit, save the Peren family (Mission completed)]
[Reward: +5 points awarded]
[...]
When the mission was completed, it was certain that the evil spirit had disappeared, and the disappearance of the evil spirit indeed allowed the house to return to normal. After all, the existence of the evil spirit was a challenge to human spiritual perception, as if you can't see it, but you always feel like there's someone in the house.
The most noticeable change was naturally the temperature. Some cold corners regained their normal temperature, except for the basement...
The basement still maintained a constant temperature to a certain extent, after all, the basement is ultimately a storage room. Half an hour later, to resolve the last matter, Knight York arrived as promised.
At this time, Knight York was no longer the person who carried a small bag and a shotgun, looking very strong.
Now, he wore a cross and held a Bible in his hand, his eyes showing compassion.
He had become a real priest.
"It doesn't smell so bad anymore."
Remembering the smell he had encountered before, Knight York rubbed his nose while walking down the stairs, looking at one after another of cold, black resentment.
The souls indeed wanted to leave.
Although he couldn't see anything, Knight York's expression remained unchanged, and the information about these souls automatically flashed through his mind.
There were four people in total: a servant, the mother, little Beth's friend Kate who had disappeared, and the child who drowned in the pond. They were all victims, innocent.
"Come out."
Knight York stopped in front of these resentment groups, wiped his eyes again, and magic quietly spread over.
"Yes! Father."
With a rich female voice, four people appeared out of nowhere in Knight York's vision.
Without the coercion of the evil spirit, these souls indeed returned to their normal demeanor.
Although their eyes and lips were all black and dripping with black juice, Knight York could truly feel the peace hidden inside.
Looking at the plump woman who was slightly shrinking and holding the hand of Kate's spirit, whom he had punched, and then looking at the similarly huddled together, somewhat dazed servant and child.
Knight York sighed in his heart.
"Sorry."
"..." These four souls obviously did not expect Knight York to apologize to them. Their black pupils widened, the juice flowed more, and the resentment emanating from their bodies rolled in various forms.
The more conscious plump woman silently mouthed.
"Father, no need to apologize..."
Looking at the plump woman, Knight York pursed his lips and nodded, picking up the Bible.
"I will send you off."
In Buddhist tradition, the soul calming and blessing ceremony is known as the ritual of transcendence, mainly to help the deceased cross over the underworld, helping their souls escape the cycle of suffering, and what Knight York was about to do also had this effect.
He flipped through the Bible, murmuring recitations.
"..."
"Lord, we come before you, praying for your mercy and forgiveness for our departed strangers.
We know you are the source of life, the way, the truth, and the life..."
Knight York's recitation continued to sound in the basement, even spreading upwards.
Everyone who had been waiting in the alleyway remained silent, listening quietly.
"..."
"We will remember your teachings, believing that under your will, their souls will be saved and find peace.
Please accept our sincere prayers, bless the deceased on their journey to the path of light..."
As the recitation was coming to an end, the basement, which had always been dim, mysteriously became brighter, especially at the location of the four souls.
Knight York slightly raised his eyebrows, continuing the recitation. In a few seconds, in his vision, these four souls gradually shed their ghostly appearance, slowly becoming normal, the black juice melted away, the black pupils, black lips returned to human appearance, the rusty clothes became newer, they returned to their original appearance...
Looking at these four people, Knight York still maintained the posture of recitation, but these four, however, looked at Knight York with a bright smile.
"Thank you, Father..."
"Thank you..."
"..."
"Amen." Knight York closed the Bible, looking at the empty basement, feeling somewhat heavy in his heart, saying this was his first time performing a soul calming blessing.
"This feeling, it's quite strange, but perhaps this 'Lord' really does exist..."
After what he had seen and felt, Knight York was certain of this guess.
"Then why can I, an atheist, still make use of this 'Lord's' power?"
Knight York glanced at the basement, then walked up the stairs. He still couldn't figure it out, but Knight York didn't dwell on it.
For him, as long as it works, as long as it's effective and useful, whatever...
At this moment, Knight York stopped on the stairs, a look of surprise in his eyes, as the system's voice suddenly rang in his ear.

[The Blessing of the Spirits]
[Eliza Charles, Kate Charles, Wendy Moses, Byron Hart - all four are grateful for everything you've done and bless you]
[Points +3]
[...]
After hearing the mechanical sound in his ear, Knight York unconsciously glanced at the basement, continuing to walk upstairs with a sigh.
Unexpectedly, with the intention of sending Buddha to the west, to solve all the problems of this house, an unintentional act also brought rewards...
An hour later.
The land covered by darkness, a Ford Raptor started again, its engine roaring loudly.
"Father, are you sure you won't stay? Mrs. Karen has already prepared your room."
A group of people stood by the car door, because Knight York was leaving that night, Roger's family, Ed and Lorraine, Drew, they came out to see him off.
As for Brad, who was a local, had left early, saying he had to go back and write a report.
"No need, the distance isn't too far." Sitting in the driver's seat, Knight York responded to Ed, he didn't want to miss the daily fixed mission, which was +0.5 points.
After responding, Knight York thought of something, looked at Lorraine, he still didn't know where the evil aura on Lorraine came from, without a cause or source it was hard for him to exorcise it.
At the same time, he also felt that the evil aura must be connected to a big fish behind it, a big fish that could make him a fortune, even though this big fish was dangerous, he was not afraid to challenge it.
"Lorraine, remember to always wear it, call me if anything happens."
Hearing the priest's words, Lorraine, knowing full well, grabbed the cross hanging around her neck and nodded seriously.
"Okay, Father."
Knight York smiled, glanced around at everyone, and said with a smile.
"Then, farewell, everyone."
After that, Knight York shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and with the furious transfer of gasoline, the Ford Raptor roared off down the small road, leaving everyone standing there watching.
