Chapter 150: Only Fight Prepared Battles
After a burst of static, Oona's voice came through the intercom.
"Mrs. Lorraine, a dozen strange people are coming up from the safety passage on the second floor of the South Zone."
Lorraine immediately opened the hospital map, which she took from the monitoring room.
After identifying the direction, she left a mark on the spot and then quickly left.
A few minutes later.
Several figures poured into the corridor from the safety door.
Their limbs were twisted, and some even had their internal organs exposed.
With the arrival of these monsters, a dark green mist also emerged in the corridor.
Nearby objects quickly became rotten and soft after contact.
One of the strange people seemed to have discovered something.
Under its direction, these monsters left in the direction Lorraine had departed.
One hour later.
"Lord Belial, that woman appeared in Operating Room No. 3 again," the black-robed man reported.
Belial frowned upon hearing this.
This was already the umpteenth time; whenever his subordinates tracked the Warren couple, the other party always managed to leave in time.
If it happened occasionally, it would be normal.
But every time was so coincidental, which could only mean one thing—the other party could predict the movements of the "Servants" in advance.
Belial recalled the intelligence regarding the Warren couple.
"Yin-Yang Eye, Descendant of Saint Lucy, rich theological knowledge..."
The two seemed to have no ability in "Precognition."
In that case.
Belial raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera in the corner.
"Go check it out," he ordered.
Soon a black-robed man took the order and left.
Lorraine watched a team of strange people disappear around the corner, then quickly got up and left.
At this time, a voice came from the intercom again: "Mrs. Lorraine, they seem to be walking towards the monitoring room, what should we do!"
Lorraine raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; she didn't expect Hans's people to react so quickly.
She immediately agreed on a location with Oona and the others.
This was not in the "Emergency Measures for Unexpected Situations (No. 25)" of the manual.
According to the content above, when "the gathered crowd can no longer bring positive benefits, one should decisively choose to act alone."
Father William even specially made a note below this sentence—You have to try your best to avoid the idiots in the crowd!
But Oona and the others helped Lorraine after all, and this disaster was likely caused by their couple.
Therefore, Lorraine couldn't leave them alone.
Soon, the group reunited.
Lorraine distributed several holy artifacts to the people present and instructed them never to throw them away at any time.
These were all left by Father William in advance, mostly of one to three years vintage.
Just at this time, a team of Servants arrived.
They roared, spewing a large amount of corrosive gas from their esophagus.
Everyone looked terrified and instinctively retreated.
But Lorraine took a step forward.
"Mrs. Lorraine!" Oona shouted anxiously.
Lorraine held a crucifix, took out a bottle of Holy Water and drank it, then recited the Exorcism Bible loudly.
In the next moment, everyone present saw a scene that surprised them.
Accompanied by Lorraine's voice, those rotten breaths all rolled back.
One of the strange people pounced in front of Lorraine, but she grabbed its jaw tightly and pressed the crucifix on its forehead.
Sizzle... sizzle.
A scorching sound rang out, and the strange person fell to the ground quickly.
Everyone realized immediately that the holy artifacts in their hands could repel evil.
So a few bolder ones followed Lorraine's example and soon eliminated a strange person.
Under someone's lead, the others gradually gained courage.
The monsters in the corridor were soon repelled.
Facing a victory, everyone present burst into cheers.
But worry flashed in Lorraine's eyes.
"The manual mentioned that when in a dangerous environment, one should try to save the resources on hand as much as possible, because you don't know how many dangers are waiting for you."
Sure enough.
With the means to resist in hand, several survivors had already proposed to take the initiative to attack.
Lorraine didn't dissuade them, only informing them that "the power of holy artifacts is limited."
After this, the crowd decreased by a few people again.
Outpatient Department, First Floor.
"Lord Belial, the monitoring room has been destroyed, just as you expected."
"Then why did you come back empty-handed?"
Cold sweat seeped from the black-robed man's forehead immediately.
"Uh... those guys seem to possess powerful holy artifacts; the Servants cannot approach."
"As expected." Belial snorted coldly.
"Send all the Servants out together. With the financial resources of the Warren couple, it is impossible to buy too many holy artifacts."
He then mentioned: "By the way, these two have a friend who runs a holy artifact shop. The other party might leave high-quality holy artifacts for the Warren couple."
Speaking of this, the corner of Belial's mouth raised.
"Be more patient when doing it; let them taste the flavor of despair properly."
"Weren't you the one anxious at the beginning..." The black-robed man thought to himself.
But on the surface, he still said humbly: "As you wish."
Before long, subordinates came to report.
"We lost 60 Servants. At the same time, three crucifixes were found in the corridor, all of which have lost Holy Power."
"Very good. Judging from the loss, the quality of these holy artifacts is not low."
"Lord Belial, another 72 Servants lost contact. We found four amulets, two crucifixes, and two bottles that once contained Holy Water."
"Don't mind the loss; I want to force them to use up all means!"
"My Lord, 330 Servants are gone. Twenty amulets were found this time."
"Why so many... Didn't I tell you to drive people to the North Zone!"
"They... seem to know that the road in the North Zone is blocked."
"Trash!"
"My Lord, lost 600 Servants. A total of fifty holy artifacts were found."
"Are these two running a supermarket!"
Belial roared.
Nearly a hundred holy artifacts; regardless of value, carrying them around would be very inconvenient.
"Where did they get so many?"
Belial looked puzzled.
"Could it be that friend from the holy artifact shop?"
But according to the intelligence provided by Hans, the holy artifact shop opened on Dei Commercial Street was just an "inconspicuous small shop."
For such a shop, having one or two high-quality holy artifacts was normal.
But for so many to pop up at once, unless there was an ancient Church family behind it.
Belial was confident in the "Masterpieces" he created.
Although those Servants had low intelligence, the evil aura on them was comparable to ordinary evil spirits.
To cause damage to them, at least one-year vintage holy artifacts must be used.
"Send out all the remaining Servants." Belial ordered again.
"L... Lord, there are no more."
The black-robed man knelt on the ground.
"Today is Memorial Day; most people went to the venue."
Belial looked gloomy, and stood up after a moment.
"Let's go, meet this couple." He decided to do it himself.
A moment later, at the entrance of the pharmacy.
Belial saw the target of this operation.
At this time, there were five people left beside Lorraine.
They all followed the former's instructions and did not act alone, so they survived until now.
Seeing everyone, Belial narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Why isn't that husband here?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head, then said unexpectedly: "Ed Warren, I was wondering where you went."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone present looked in that direction.
Lorraine looked even more confused.
But there was no one in that direction.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Belial suddenly attacked.
Oona only felt a sharp pain. She looked down and found an arm inserted into her abdominal cavity.
With a squelch, blood splattered all over the floor.
The nurse slumped to the ground.
"Oona!" Lorraine hurriedly reached out to press the former's wound.
But this alone could not stop the bleeding at all.
Not long after, Oona completely stopped breathing.
