Chapter 146: The Ward Plan
After the Bishop left, William immediately began searching the ward.
Lorraine and Judy were a little confused.
Only after confirming there were no listening devices did William look at the two with a serious face.
"Mrs. Lorraine, there is something you must know..."
After hearing about Wynn's investigation into Bishop Hans, the exorcist's eyes revealed incredulous shock.
"Could there be..."
She wanted to ask if there was some misunderstanding.
But on second thought, given Father William's style of doing things, he must have confirmed this matter long ago.
"Bishop Hans is actually that kind of person," Lorraine murmured.
Immediately after, she realized something.
The exorcism trip she and Ed took was very likely tampered with by Hans from behind the scenes.
It might have even started from the "Annabelle" commission.
A faint fear rose in Lorraine's heart.
As the Parish Bishop, Hans held great power.
If the forces behind him were added to the equation, it would be even harder for Ed and herself to survive in the Church.
"But Ed and I hold no grudge against him." Confusion filled Lorraine's eyes.
"Other academy exorcism teams have also encountered accidents recently; this is likely not a personal grudge."
William bent down and hid a holy statue in the corner.
"Regarding Bishop Hans, I will report to St. Peter's Cathedral in the next two days."
Through observation during this period, he had decided to hand over Wynn's handbook to Joran Borja.
If Hans's target was all the exorcists of Dei Church, then the Warren couple being injured and hospitalized now presented an excellent opportunity to strike.
William didn't want to be guarding against sneak attacks all the time.
Plus, he had already ruined the other party's "good deed" at the sunflower farm earlier, and just met face-to-face with him.
Maybe William was already on the Bishop's list.
In this case, he couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Considering Ed's physical condition, Lorraine couldn't transfer him to another hospital.
Therefore, William could only instruct this lady carefully.
"Food, medical facilities, sneak attacks at night—these could all be sources of danger. Of course, they might also fake it as evil spirits doing evil..."
"Confirm the daily treatment process with the attending physician in advance, and be wary of any temporary plans..."
"Avoid being alone, and ensure that you can contact the outside world immediately if something happens..."
Lorraine was a little surprised listening to this.
She had only considered the people sent by Hans, thinking that guarding against them would be enough.
But listening to Father William's words, Lorraine realized there were so many potential dangers.
Judy listened extra carefully; she planned to live in the ward and keep a close eye on everyone who entered.
William also decided to come back and guard the ward after handing over the evidence.
Besides helping as a friend, William also had to eliminate the hidden danger of Bishop Hans as soon as possible.
"Regarding this matter."
Lorraine suddenly spoke, determination revealing in her eyes.
"Please take Judy with you. I will hire another bodyguard before you return."
"I don't want to go!" Judy protested.
Seeing this, Lorraine pulled her daughter aside.
When they returned, the latter had changed her mind, though she was a little unhappy.
William understood in his heart that this was a mother's worry for her child.
Naturally, he had no objections.
"By the way, that Bishop mentioned a Memorial Day just now?" William asked.
Lorraine explained: "This is to commemorate the Declaration signed in Philadelphia."
"This year happens to be the 80th anniversary, so a special Memorial Day event is being held."
William understood; no wonder he hadn't seen it before.
"What kind of people usually attend such events?"
"Dignitaries from the state government, as well as some social celebrities. The Church will also send representatives to participate."
"So, many people will come to Philadelphia that day," William said.
Lorraine nodded: "That's right; more than 100,000 citizens participated in the last Memorial Day."
"With such a large flow of people, a lot of guards will definitely be needed to maintain order. In this way, there is likely to be a shortage of police force during Memorial Day."
William frowned.
"If Hans really wants to do something, it should be at that time."
Lorraine opened her mouth; she didn't expect William to still be looking for possible dangers.
"At that time, everyone's attention will be on Memorial Day. Even if something happens in the hospital, they can escape in the chaos!" Judy also added at this time.
William nodded approvingly.
Lorraine stroked Judy's hair and smiled helplessly.
Now, on the point of danger prevention, she was somewhat inferior to her daughter.
But she was also very glad that the Warren family could meet Father William.
With him around, the fear of Hans in Lorraine's heart diminished a lot.
"I will come back before Memorial Day. You need to be vigilant during this period."
After giving instructions again, William walked out of the ward door.
"William! Let's go to St. Peter's Cathedral now!" Judy's tone was a bit urgent.
"Don't worry, the necessary safety measures haven't been finished yet," William said.
With the experience of the exhibition before, he knew that in such a large building, escape routes were extremely important.
Therefore, William took Judy and ran through the entire building.
Of course, holy artifacts that could be replenished at any time could not be missing.
Just like that, an hour later, Lorraine saw the two again.
"Why are you back? Did you forget something?" She looked surprised.
At this time, Judy was panting heavily and grabbed a water cup as soon as she entered the ward.
So Lorraine could only look at William.
"Mrs. Lorraine, regarding the attacks that might happen during my absence, I have designed six sets of emergency plans..."
William handed a notebook to her.
Lorraine read while listening to the former's explanation, showing surprised eyes again.
"The hospital patrol is once every 2 hours, and the frequency will increase at night. This is their inspection route..."
"The safety doors on the third floor of the North Zone and the second floor of the South Zone are closed. Avoid running there in case of danger..."
"Spare holy artifacts are placed under the green plants on every floor. Once encountering evil spirits or demons, you can replenish them in time..."
Looking at the detailed description in the notebook, Lorraine didn't know what to say anymore.
She even thought to herself—We don't have that much of a grudge; don't come if you have nothing to do... Mr. Hans.
Not worrying about the danger Ed and she might face, but feeling a little sympathy for Father William's enemies.
"I will remember it firmly."
Lorraine stood up and nodded deeply to William.
Although this might be the latter's habit, Father William doing these things for them deserved endless gratitude.
Ensuring that Lorraine knew all the arrangements, William finally walked out of the ward door.
Of course, this time he really left.
Parish Asylum, Underground Dark Room.
"The Warren couple came back alive again. Do you have any explanation?" Juan's eyes held scrutiny.
Hans looked unkind and clenched his fists tightly.
"Hey, I didn't shield those two. Besides, they were seriously injured when they came back."
"As long as they aren't dead, there is no difference."
"Hmph, don't worry, they only have two more days to live. After Memorial Day begins, I will arrange for someone to assassinate them."
Hearing this, Juan's brow relaxed slightly. He also understood that Hans could not betray the True Lord.
"I heard that the Warren couple had high-quality holy artifacts in their hands, which allowed them to escape danger." He brought up another matter.
"I am also very strange about this. With the status of these two people, it is impossible to access items of this level."
"Left by the family?"
"Impossible, the descendants of Saint Lucy do not have inheritance in this aspect."
Hans narrowed his eyes: "However, when I went to the ward today, I saw another priest."
"The other party happens to run a Holy Artifact Shop."
Juan raised an eyebrow: "What's his background?"
