Chapter 240: The Third Teammate
"None of our hands exerted any force, but the Ouija board moved rapidly, and soon pieced together a sentence."
"Hi, Friend."
"I was startled, but still gathered my courage to ask the doubt in my heart—who are you?"
"The Ouija board moved again and stayed on the letter D. This was exactly Debbie's name! But when I asked her why she committed suicide, the Ouija board didn't move..."
"...The lights in the house suddenly dimmed, strange noises appeared on the second floor, the kitchen gas stove automatically ignited, and someone even saw a woman's figure in the mirror..."
"We fled the villa in a panic, but after dawn, everyone encountered weird things. At home, at school, outdoors... everyone saw that familiar sentence—Hi Friend!"
"Phew..."
William let out a long breath.
This personal account ended here.
But looking at the content above, when those guys came out of the villa at night, they definitely didn't say "Goodbye" according to the rules.
"Are... you willing to take it." At this time, Wizard Zole whispered.
Despite the previous verbal agreement, Zole's heart was still beating a little fast.
After all, in his opinion, this commission was still somewhat dangerous!
William's eyes showed thoughtfulness.
Judging from the difficulty of the commission, this was a classic "Spirit Channeling" incident; the main threat should come from the summoned dead spirit.
In this situation, the evil aura might not be much, so William still intended to agree clearly with the other party.
But before that, he had one more doubt.
"From when we met until now, I neither hold a certain weapon, nor do I have an obvious 'Physique' advantage."
William stared at the other party.
"How do you know if I have the means to deal with evil spirits?"
Zole was stunned upon hearing this, then smiled: "Oh! Forgot to tell you, this commission requires three people to execute!"
"Ms. Madison asked me to come out and find the last person."
The young wizard touched the back of his head.
"Speaking of which, you still have to get her consent to join, sorry~"
The corner of William's mouth twitched; it turned out he was just making up the numbers.
"Ms. Madison should be in her room right now, I'll take you there..." Zole proactively led the way ahead.
Only then did William know that there were actually several floors below the hall, specially built as private lounges.
Halfway there, Zole suddenly turned his head.
"Mr. William, you have to be careful when you go in later!" He lowered his voice.
"Ms. Madison Montgomery has a rather strange personality. It's best not to make her angry, otherwise, you'll suffer!"
Zole touched his cheek after speaking, seeming to recall some bad memories.
William narrowed his eyes: "Could it be she will even kill someone if they don't choose to cooperate?"
"No! No!"
Zole hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head.
"It's just she... she is a bit... sigh, you'll know later!"
The young wizard sighed, ultimately not speaking.
This also made William even more curious.
A moment later.
In front of Room 303.
Knock... Knock...
Zole knocked gently on the door.
"Ms. Madison, there is an exorcist willing to participate in this commission; I brought him here."
In the next moment.
Creak...
The door opened automatically, but no figure was seen.
"Please come in." Zole smiled and led the way proactively.
Stepping over the doorframe, William smelled a faint fragrance.
When he walked into the reception room, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa.
William sized the other party up.
That was a young girl, with a head of glossy golden long hair.
She wore a black camisole short-sleeve on her upper body. Because she was leaning against the sofa, a small patch of skin on her chest was almost squeezed out of the clothes, forming two obvious curves.
The girl wore a pair of black leather shorts on her lower half, and her two fair thighs were crossed over each other just like that.
Paired with knee-high black boots, it made her legs look even more slender and alluring.
Because the other party wore a pair of sunglasses, William wasn't clear about the girl's appearance.
But judging from the high nose bridge and plump lips, she should be a beauty.
At this time, the opposite party was also sizing him up.
A moment later, the girl turned her head to look at Zole: "You just found such a loser?"
Zole: "Uh..."
The corner of William's eye twitched.
Loser?
This sister is too impolite, right.
He, William, was after all a handsome man of the Seminary.
Thinking of this, he looked down at himself.
Okay, my current image really can't be called handsome.
Because he had been a bit busy recently, he didn't have time to wash up before going out, plus wearing ill-fitting clothes...
At this time, William was in a state of unkempt hair.
But purifying evil spirits doesn't require appearance.
Could it be that when facing a demon massacre, you still have to say to the other party—I am good-looking, you can't kill me?
Probably the other party would despise this soul for being too stupid upon hearing this.
So William's expression was calm, but Madison opposite frowned.
From her perspective, this man in front of her was another guy scared speechless.
So she sat up straight and said: "Zofi, take this guy to take a shower later. I don't want to walk with a guy who stinks all over."
Madison reached out and fanned the air.
"I... my name is actually Zole, hahaha..." Zole touched his head.
Seeing Madison look at him again, he hurriedly waved his hands to explain: "Zofi sounds quite nice too. If I were a girl, I would definitely choose this name, hahaha..."
William aside was shocked; does this buddy have some masochistic tendencies.
At this time Madison spoke again: "Also, you don't need to make a move for the subsequent commission; I will personally finish off those dead spirits and demons!"
"You are not allowed to act privately either. When you are needed to do things, you must respond within three seconds!"
William's eyes slowly became cold.
In all fairness, he was glad someone proactively took the lead.
This could eliminate a lot of potential threats.
But with the level of seeking death of the people in the American Horror world, he didn't think the other party could make any wise decisions.
Therefore, William said in a flat tone: "Sorry, I don't have the habit of obediently listening to others' orders."
As soon as his voice fell, the room fell into silence.
Zole aside hurriedly winked and made faces.
"Father William! Doing this will make her angry!" He whispered anxiously.
And opposite, the girl's face obviously also darkened.
She reached out her hand, and the desk lamp on the table instantly floated into the air.
Then, other items in the room also flew up respectively.
After a burst of fierce collisions, the reception room was a mess.
"Ms. Madison, destroying items in the room will cost a lot of money to compensate..." Zole held his head and spoke.
"Shut up! I'll pay!"
Madison got up from the sofa, took large strides in front of William, and then took off her sunglasses.
Those were indeed a pair of very beautiful eyes.
"Now, tell me, what is your ability?"
She raised her head, her eyes full of contempt, looking like she was "Watching a good show."
In that instant just now, William sensed a powerful mental force raging in the room.
It seems this one in front of him is a natural-born superpower user.
"Telekinesis, huh..." He thought inwardly.
Although it was a good ability, attaching "Telekinesis" to objects also takes time.
"According to the speed just now, I should be able to snap her neck a step ahead before her ability activates." William pondered.
He had already instinctively started planning a countermeasure against the other party.
"Hey, are you deaf too?"
Seeing William staying silent, impatience showed on Madison's face.
"Could you please step back a bit? Your saliva splashed on my clothes; this is very disgusting." William patted his collar and said.
Hearing this, Zole only had one thought in his mind—We're doomed!
Madison obviously didn't expect the man in front of her to dare to be so rude.
She looked shocked, and then her eyebrows frowned tightly together!
Madison's left hand squeezed forcefully.
William instantly felt the suit on his body begin to tighten.
But in the next moment.
A pair of hands tightly grabbed Madison's fair neck.
"Second thing, approaching an enemy without any guard is a very stupid behavior."
"Ugh."
Madison's expression was somewhat pained; the huge force coming from her neck at this time made it a bit hard for her to breathe.
She tried to use her ability to separate the other party.
But then she discovered in horror that her telekinesis had completely failed!
How is this possible!
What Madison didn't know was that at this moment, there was an invisible barrier between her and William.
All the mental power exuding from her body was completely blocked by the barrier.
"Can you guys not fight..."
Zole looked anxious, pacing back and forth between the two.
"Everyone is a teammate; we still have to help each other complete the task together... If the Guild finds out, we will all be punished..."
He looked at William pleadingly.
"As long as Ms. Madison doesn't do anything out of line next, I am of course willing to let go proactively." William stared into the girl's eyes and said, so Zole leaned close to the girl again.
"I will listen to your orders at any time. Let's not trouble Mr. William, okay."
At this time, Madison clenched her fists, but thinking of her current situation, she finally nodded.
Seeing this, William smiled slightly.
"Glad to join your exorcism team."
He let go of the other party and immediately reached out his hand, as if the conflict just now was just an illusion.
"Wel... Welcome." Zole was stunned, also subconsciously shaking hands with William.
"Hmph."
Madison snorted coldly, then turned and walked into another bedroom.
Knock... Knock...
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly rang out outside.
It turned out someone had heard the commotion just now and reported it to the Exorcist Guild.
"Is everything okay inside." Manager Farlin stood smiling outside the door.
"Oh! N... nothing!" Zole touched his head, "We were just talking about the commission, hahaha..."
Farlin looked inside the room.
Smashed TV, broken flower pots... no matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with "Nothing."
He asked William with his eyes again.
"Ms. Madison wanted to show off her abilities, didn't expect some mistakes, so..." William shrugged.
Crash!
The sound of things shattering rang out in the inner room again.
"I never make mistakes!"
Madison's voice came from behind the door.
"So that's how it is."
Manager Farlin obviously also understood Madison's personality and actually didn't feel surprised at all.
However, he took another look at William.
To actually be able to subdue Ms. Madison, it seems this gentleman's strength is quite unusual.
"This room is registered under Ms. Madison's name. When checking out later, I will include the damages in the cost."
Even when talking about an unpleasant matter, Farlin still maintained a standard smile.
"Then I won't disturb you."
After speaking, the manager left the room and closed the door conveniently.
"Phew..."
Zole wiped his forehead.
"If Manager Farlin found out someone was fighting privately, maybe this commission would have been withdrawn."
"He hasn't gone far yet; speaking so loudly, it's very likely to be heard." William said calmly.
Zole hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Relax, although the things in the room are broken, this is also a kind of 'Income' for the Exorcist Guild. Who knows, they might even use this matter to balance the books." William patted the other party.
"Mr. William, what is balancing the books...?"
Outside the room, Farlin, who had already walked to the stairwell, suddenly stumbled.
One day later, Los Angeles.
No. 39 Boulevard.
A red and white taxi slowly drove in.
This is a nearby residential area, and the agreed meeting place for the commission is here.
William opened the door and stepped out.
At this time, he had already changed back into his priest's robes, and all necessary exorcism items were also fully prepared.
The hot sun shone on his face.
Because it was close to noon now, there weren't many pedestrians outside.
Before long, Madison and Zole also got out of the car together.
After the last conflict, this witch had been very quiet on the way here.
Even her words were much fewer.
But William didn't think the other party would truly yield.
Such a domineering and egoistic guy might be holding some bad ideas inside.
Therefore, William had always been guarding against the other party.
Madison was still dressed all in black. Besides the sunglasses, she also had a small brown leather bag hanging from her elbow.
Those who didn't know would think some celebrity had arrived.
After confirming the direction, Madison took the lead and walked towards a house.
"Mr. William, do you want some water."
Zole fell behind a few steps and caught up, handing over a bottle of mineral water.
He was still wearing that wizard robe. Besides his own luggage, he was also pulling a suitcase in his hand, containing Madison's "Exorcism Tools."
"No, thanks." William politely declined the other party's goodwill.
Zole nodded and unscrewed the cap himself.
"I didn't expect Mr. William that you were actually a Holy Clergy Member." He caught up.
"I heard there are many powerful exorcists in the Church..."
Along the way, the young wizard was very curious about William. In their eyes, it seemed very difficult to meet a true Church exorcist.
"...Some time ago, a school seemed to have an accident. At that time, Mr. Lombane of our Witch Association also personally went there. I heard that in the end, the Church still purified the demon there. Compared to you guys, I am still far behind..."
William responded casually.
On the way here, he also gained some understanding of Zole.
This young wizard was still just an apprentice wizard; the witchcraft he was good at mainly focused on comforting and healing.
And the reason why he needed evil remains on this trip was actually to cope with the tasks of the Witch Association.
Like the Church, the Witch Association also had requirements for its members—
Every once in a while, they must hand in a sufficient share of evil remains.
Otherwise, they are very likely to be stripped of the right to learn witchcraft.
For most wizards, witchcraft is their only means of response when facing evil spirits and demons.
And casting witchcraft requires specific materials, the main body of which are evil remains.
Therefore, Zole took on this commission.
But for an auxiliary-type wizard, facing evil spirits alone is obviously very dangerous.
So he had to ask others for help.
This was also why Madison was so excessive, yet Zole still had no complaints.
"We're here."
While pondering, Madison ahead suddenly stopped.
She controlled a stone to knock on the door.
A moment later, a girl walked out from inside.
"Are you..."
"We are from the Exorcist Guild, specially taking a commission to come here. I heard weird things are happening here?" Zole proactively stepped forward to negotiate.
"Ah! That's right, you're finally here!" The girl's eyes lit up.
But William aside frowned.
At this time, the girl was holding a triangular template in her hand; the center had a round hole inlaid with a piece of glass.
And William felt an evil aura on it.
"This couldn't... be a planchette, right."
