Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 119: Doing a Bad Job

Back at the detective agency, Lewis did not act immediately. He wrapped the topaz pendant around his right hand and silently recited the divination sentence:

"This time, destroying the evil spirit will go smoothly."

After silently reciting the divination phrase seven times, Lewis's spirit was able to communicate with the spirit world, and the pendant began to rotate clockwise at an even speed.

“This means that this operation is not too dangerous. The evil spirits are not strong, and I should be able to handle them easily.

Of course, the premise is to be fully prepared. No one can win every battle without preparation. "

After the divination, Lewis went to the black market to buy some auxiliary materials for the "Disaster Priest".

Moonflower is a relatively common material. Although it only blooms on the day of the blood moon, it is not difficult to find. I bought one for only 3 pounds.

As for pure water, there is no need to buy this kind of material. He only needs to use the "distillation method" to make some, and it will be enough to prepare the potion.

“Those extraordinary materials are undoubtedly hard to find. I have never seen the Disaster Sea Serpent and have only heard of it in some books.

It is said that mermaids would occasionally appear in the near sea a hundred years ago, but now only some churches keep them in captivity, so I can only try my luck in the open sea.

In addition, the auxiliary materials, such as the ghost dust and the blood of the silver snake, are also extraordinary materials. Such items can only be seen at gatherings and cannot be found on the ordinary black market. "

Lewis carefully weighed the pros and cons. Once he confirmed Ince Zangwill's current condition, he would consider leaving Backlund.

Whether it was for the promotion of the Disaster Priest or to temporarily avoid the danger that existed in Backlund.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight shifted. Lewis got ready and dressed. He first took the subway to leave the city of Backlund, and then headed towards the village that Wilbur mentioned.

Night is when evil spirits are more active. At this time, he might be able to easily fish out the evil spirits without spending too much effort searching for them.

The yellow sunlight still shone on the ground, and the darkness in the distance began to slowly swallow up the small village.

At this time, it was still some time before dark, so Lewis went into the only pub in the village and ordered a glass of Southwell beer.

This beer tastes slightly bitter at first, but has a sweet aftertaste and is quite refreshing.

"Friend, do you like Southwell beer, too?" Suddenly, a sturdy man in a worker's sackcloth sat down next to Lewis in a familiar manner. He said to the bartender, "A glass of Southwell beer."

The bartender stopped wiping the glass. He looked at the burly man and said coldly, "Matthew, if you want beer, you should ask the gentleman next to you first, unless you plan to pay for it yourself."

Matthew scratched his head and said to Lewis, "Sir, your gentlemanly manner is really impressive. If I were a woman, I would have welcomed you by shaking my butt."

Lewis frowned, he took a look at this rough, unkempt man, if the other party was a woman, it would be terrible.

"A glass of Southwell beer." Lewis quickly interrupted the man and said there was nothing wrong with treating him to a glass of beer.

What's more, he also wanted to get some information. Facing an unknown opponent, collecting information in advance was also a very important step.

"You are such a generous gentleman." The burly man took the Southwell beer from the bartender and took a big sip.

"I heard that there is a dilapidated old house in this village where some abnormal incidents occasionally occur. Do you know?" Lewis asked casually.

"A haunted old house?" The burly man was startled at first, then he seemed to recall something and said, "Maybe you were deceived."

"Hmm?" Lewis was puzzled. There seemed to be nothing unusual here, which was inconsistent with Mr. Wilbur's description. Logically, if there was an evil spirit wandering around this place, no one should have noticed it.

And Mr. Wilbur should not be the first victim.

After finishing the beer, the burly man put down his glass and left the bar without looking back, as if he came here just to get a free beer.

"Sir, you shouldn't have been too generous to that kind of person just now. It would only encourage Matthew's laziness." The bartender said coldly.

"Can you tell me more about it?" Lewis asked thoughtfully.

"Matthew is a lazy fellow, he used to at least farm to support himself.

However, since a year ago, he has become more lazy, and the lands have begun to be abandoned, but he has become rich.

The villagers are saying that he seems to be doing something bad in secret.”

Working a bad job?
Lewis frowned. He didn’t understand what the bartender meant, and he didn’t intend to waste time on this matter, so he asked, “Have you heard of the old house I mentioned before that might have supernatural events? I may need to write an interview about it.”

"I haven't heard of it, but you can go to the east side of the village. It's closer to the cemetery and maybe you can find something there." The bartender explained. From Lewis' words, he analyzed that the other party was a reporter who wrote ghost stories.

"Thank you." Putting down the empty cup, Lewis turned and left.

It was almost completely dark. Some families in the village lit candles, while others were in complete darkness.

Lewis headed towards the east of the village, trying to find traces of the evil spirit, hoping to complete the task as soon as possible.

For him personally, destroying evil spirits is not a difficult task. He not only has purification bullets, but also sun fingers. These two items can cause serious damage to creatures like evil spirits.

Of course, if these two items can't get rid of the evil spirit, he can still run away.

The small village was not big, and it only took Lewis half an hour to reach the east side of the village.

To the east of the village, there is a water truck working to transport water, and the harvested wheat fields look desolate.

I think that after the wheat fields are harvested, few people will come here. After all, this place has no value anymore.

Suddenly, Lewis heard footsteps coming from a distance, and the footsteps were a little impatient.

He thought for a moment, then used the power of his cane to hide in the darkness, with only his pair of brown eyes looking around.

The footsteps were very strange, as if there was only one person, and they sounded familiar.

About 5 minutes later, Lewis saw the man walking out of the path in the field. It was a burly man whom he had seen in the bar. It was Matthew.

With curiosity, Lewis followed quietly, walked through the fields, and then through a path covered with fallen leaves in the woods. What appeared before him was a dilapidated building with a rotten feel.

The burly man walked outside the building and threw a silver object inside.

Because the distance was too far, Lewis could not see the item in the man's hand clearly, he just heard Matthew's complaints.

"Damn it, I really don't want to come to a place like this."
