American Exorcism Male God

Chapter 122 The Appearance of the Curse's Origin



In the lengthy sewer, Chen Lin walked with trepidation, surrounded by a group of exorcists, who in turn were encircled by a squad of fully-armed soldiers.

Enveloped layer upon layer, he advanced towards the depths of the sewer.

"Father Notting, you're not planning to sacrifice me, are you?" Chen Lin's face was a picture of misery, as he turned to look at the elderly priest beside him whose hair and beard were already frosty with age.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Father Notting was quite old, but he still appeared full of vigor, striding along briskly.

"Sacrifice is what heretics do; we're Catholics, we don't engage in such acts," Father Notting explained with a smile.

"Then, can you let me go? Doesn't Catholicism preach that God is merciful to all?" Chen Lin asked, using a negotiating tone.

"Of course, there's no problem; you can leave right now!" Father Notting gestured invitingly.

A gleam of surprise burst in Chen Lin's eyes. He walked incredulously towards the exit, "So I can really leave?"

The exorcists enclosing him stepped aside, making way for him.

After a few quick steps, Chen Lin hesitated and turned back.

"Mr. Chen Lin, could it be that you've had a change of heart and decided to help our Lord eliminate the demons here?" Father Notting asked with a smile brimming across his face.

"Do I have any other choice?" Chen Lin's smile was uglier than a cry. Experience new tales on empire

The soldiers protecting him outside were locked in a fierce struggle with a swarm of rats. Once he left this protective circle, he would likely be gnawed to a skeleton by the rats within minutes.

"Don't worry, you just need to cooperate well, and you'll be fine!" An exorcist came over to reassure Chen Lin.

Chen Lin gave a wry smile without responding; how could he not be worried?

"Father Notting is a Great Exorcist, and we've also brought a special artifact from the War God Repository to ensure this exorcism goes off without a hitch," the exorcist said confidently.

If the exorcists involved in the operation outside were here, they would certainly curse their slyness; the information provided by the government for the War God Repository at best included first-level artifacts, with no special artifacts at all.

"Mr. Chen Lin, are you interested in joining Els Exorcism Studio?"

The exorcist invited Chen Lin, who had encountered the source of the curse and remained only mentally exhausted after such a long time, clearly having a special constitution.

This was something not only Xu Yi could see but the other exorcists as well.

"Right now, I just want to go back to Chinatown and sell sesame seed cakes!" Chen Lin had been living in fear these past few days; he was already tired of it.

The sound of gunfire gradually died down. The oncoming horde of black rats had been vanquished, and although there were many casualties among the soldiers, they finally reached the deeper parts of the sewer.

"Let's do it here!" Father Notting looked around and said softly, finding a wide platform conveniently located there.

The exorcists leaped onto the platform one after another, as Chen Lin curiously watched them take out a plethora of peculiar items, including cracked glass beads, unnameable masks, and bizarre statues... They arranged these items in specific positions.

The priests from the church also began to bustle about, opening copper-colored metal canisters containing thick purple liquid.

Dipping their brushes into the purple liquid, the priests squatted on the platform to paint with focused attention, unaffected by the stench of the nearby gutter wafting over.

After about half an hour of bustling about, an incredibly complex pattern appeared before Chen Lin, connecting those strange objects to each other, forming a huge array.

Chen Lin couldn't discern the intricacies but could tell that painting the array took a great deal of mental strength; the priests were exhausted and sat on the ground to rest after they finished.

Father Notting took out a bottle of spray that looked somewhat like an air freshener, and when sprayed, it indeed emitted a fragrant scent.

But when Father Notting sprayed the liquid on the array, something magical happened... The array eerily disappeared.

Chen Lin's eyes widened in disbelief. If it were just the purple lines on the ground that had disappeared, he could have understood—it might have been something like an erasable marker.

But the strange items that had been placed on the platform had vanished as well, as if everything he had seen was just an illusion.

"Don't ever take this off!"

Chen Lin suddenly felt a coolness at his brow, and while he was lost in his thoughts, Father Notting had already reached his side and pressed something that looked like agar against his forehead.

"This will save your life," Father Notting patted the stunned Chen Lin. "Go! Go to the center of the Array, you don't have to do anything, just stay there!"

Chen Lin walked to the center of the Array subconsciously, and then he saw the troops retreat, leaving only the exorcists hiding in the shadows.

Father Notting took out a new spray bottle and sprayed the exorcists with it, making them invisible to Chen Lin as well, as if he was the only person in the sewer, so quiet that he could hear his own breathing.

Chen Lin was tormented by this eerie silence, and as time ticked away, just as he was about to scream, he caught a glimpse of a shadow at the corner.

The shadow appeared without warning, with no sound of breathing or footsteps, as though it had always been there.

Tremendous fear overcame Chen Lin. The shadow was not very tall, similar in size to an average adult.

But he still felt a suffocating pressure from it, as if the air had solidified and he could not breathe in any oxygen.

The shadow's outline vaguely resembled that of a person, but when the figure stepped out of the shadows, Chen Lin knew he was grossly mistaken.

It was a Giant Rat, standing on its hind legs with slender limbs, more akin to a human than a rat, yet its front paws were unmistakably those of a rat.

Chen Lin's breathing sped up involuntarily; he had seen it before.

No, to be precise, he had seen a statue of it.

Its body was as dark as ink, with only the pupils a strange, eerie white. He had held that statue in his hands, and it had been no bigger than the size of his palm.

As Chen Lin observed the Ratman, the Ratman was observing him too, showing a human-like expression of doubt on its rat-like face.

In its vision, Chen Lin was not a human but another black rat, similar in appearance.

Not just in appearance, but also in scent, the scent of the other was almost identical to its own.

The Ratman walked straight towards Chen Lin, muttering unintelligible words. Chen Lin's back was completely drenched in cold sweat.

He glanced instinctively toward the corner, where the exorcists were concealed.

"Someone help! Help me!" Chen Lin cried out in his heart, his body shaking uncontrollably.

The Ratman was getting closer and closer, and Chen Lin could smell the stench coming from it.

Just as he was about to panic and bolt, the sound of footsteps suddenly erupted, and Chen Lin felt those footsteps sounded like heavenly music.

The Ratman turned its head cautiously, but then it froze, as if its body had been immersed in amber that was about to solidify, completely unable to move.

Underneath it, the purple Array suddenly appeared, bursting forth with a dazzling light.

"Chen Lin! Get out of there now!"

Upon hearing Father Notting's words, Chen Lin ran from the Array as if granted a pardon, taking shelter behind the exorcists and finally heaving a sigh of relief.

The Ratman observed the large group of exorcists emerging from the shadows with a meaningful look on its face, its pale pupils staring straight at Father Notting.
