Chapter 188 The Warrens' Shock
Louis entered the classroom and sat down in one of the seats at the front without disturbing anyone.

I quietly watched the two people on the podium.

Lecture on the paranormal.

He was just looking around for any unusual places when he unexpectedly saw that the course schedule was actually a lecture on the paranormal.

Supernatural, lectures, prestigious universities.

He truly never expected that these three completely unrelated words could be connected.

Out of curiosity, and considering the strangeness of this world, Louis decided to come in and take a look.

but……

"Ed Warren and Erin Warren?"

Looking at the two names written on the blackboard, and their faces exactly the same as those in the newspapers and on television, Louis narrowed his eyes slightly.

I never expected to meet him here.

The Warrens.

I had heard of their great reputation in my past life. Although many of the so-called real paranormal events were just hype, they were indeed very famous, and many movies were even made because of them.

In this real world, everything he experienced was real.

The Conjuring series...

It covers many works, including The Conjuring, The Nun, Annabelle, and The Curse of the Weeping Woman.

Louis had long coveted the characters, including Annabelle Malthus (suspected to be a great demon), the demon nun Valac (one of the seventy-two demons), and the witch Basshiba who sacrificed herself to the devil…

The focus is on the two demons in the series.

These two demons are of extremely high rank, but they are not invincible. Taking advantage of the plot is a great opportunity, especially Valak, who is one of the seventy-two demon gods. However, because he was targeted by the church, only a part of his incarnation remains in the mortal world, which is much easier to deal with than his true form.

If Louis were to swallow these two demons, he dared not imagine how far his cultivation would progress—to the Pure Yin Realm of perfect Yin Spirit? Or would he directly achieve Yin Yin generating Yang and break through to the Yang Spirit realm?
hum!
The image of the deity in his mind trembled slightly.

A flash of clarity crossed Louis's eyes.

I overthink things and I'm too greedy.

They only saw the benefits, but failed to see the hidden dangers.

This is the real world now, and anything could happen or the plot could change. And let's not forget what the Abalam incident revealed: the Demon Vanguard has arrived first.

These two demons might just make contact with it.

Many things are not isolated; rather, they are interconnected and have far-reaching consequences. Therefore, it is essential to think things through carefully before taking any action.

Maintain a cautious and prudent mindset, and act with courage and diligence.

After Louis regained his composure, he looked at the Warrens above, who were explaining their own theories.

The theory presented by the Warrens on stage can be summed up in just three words: "appearance, harassment, possession".

"That's right. Generally speaking, it takes these three steps for an evil spirit or its superior, a demon, to possess a human body."

“The sound of voices, footsteps, the feeling of another person’s presence, etc., these are signs that a demon is appearing.”

"The next stage is harassment. In this stage, the demon begins to interfere with reality, but it will not possess you directly. Instead, it will harass you in various ways."

"Intimidation, threats, sudden appearances—basically, anything to affect you and cause mental breakdown."

"Then, when you are at your most vulnerable, begin the third stage: possession."

After Ed Warren finished speaking, he looked at a female student who had raised her hand in the classroom, smiled, and said, "Is there a question, classmate?"

"Demons should be very powerful, right? Why would they need to do this?"

Ed laughed and said, "That's because it's only a part of the demon's power, not the demon's true form. And most demons like to torture people for fun, so they possess people in this way."

Another person raised their hand, "Who are you? Are these things real? This doesn't make sense scientifically."

Ed seemed to have expected this. He shrugged and said, “Well, we have many titles: ghost expert, ghost catcher, paranormal scholar, but we recognize the identity of exorcist scholar as granted and recognized by the church.”

"As for whether it really exists, people may find out in the future. Of course, I hope people will never find out."

He didn't explain whether it was scientifically sound; he simply resolved the issue with a blessing.

Louis below is pondering the Warrens.

Actually, there's not much to say about the three steps they mentioned. It's just a method used by demons to mentally torture victims and then possess them when they can't physically descend.

Just like the folk methods of identifying ghosts in China, because ghosts are weak, they can only harm people and possess them by creating illusions and frightening others.

This is just a general rule, not a set of regulations or guidelines.

For powerful evil spirits, or demons in their true forms, there are no such rules; they can do whatever they want.

However, the Warrens must be quite capable and dedicated to summarizing this pattern and spreading it to ordinary people so that they can be wary of it.

In addition, they have impressive backgrounds; they are exorcists authorized by the church.

It's important to understand that the church does not acknowledge the existence of mystical powers, nor does it believe that anyone outside the church can perform miracles.

Even if they maintain an open attitude behind the scenes and turn a blind eye to mediums and wizards, they resolutely deny it openly.

The fact that the Warrens gained the church's approval must have been quite extraordinary.

Unlike in the movies, they don't rely solely on crime-solving methods to solve paranormal phenomena; they inevitably have their own unique methods.

By this time, the lecture was coming to an end.

"Excuse me, do other supernatural forces exist in this world? Like witches or mediums?" someone asked this malicious question. After all, they were exorcists recognized by the church, which had always denied the existence of witches and the like.

Unexpectedly, Ed merely glanced at the student, completely disregarding the student's attempts to make things difficult, and stated directly, "Exists."

"But these are all exceptionally talented individuals, very rare, and people generally don't encounter them in their daily lives."

As he said this, he looked at his wife, Rowling, who smiled gently.

The Q&A session then continued.

"Do you have any ways to deal with the demon? Could you suggest a few methods?"

"For ordinary people, believing in the Lord and placing church items in their homes is the simplest and most effective way to exorcise demons. Of course, if you do not believe in the Lord, or if you have provoked a powerful demon, then the cross and the Bible will not be able to exorcise it."

"I suggest you seek refuge in a nearby church, or call us; we are professionals in this field."

brush brush --

Ed wrote down their contact information and address.

Connecticut — New England Paranormal Research Association.

Below, Louis raised an eyebrow slightly. No wonder they held lectures at MIT; it turns out their association is in this state.

The lecture was basically over at this point, but the students here didn't really believe in these things at heart, and now, looking at the Warrens' explanation, they just wanted to make things more difficult for them.

"Can you check if there are any evil spirits in our school? Haha!" a student jeered.

A group of students also started making noise.

Students are naive and the easiest group to be swayed.

Ed frowned, just about to find an excuse to decline, when Rowling tugged at his hand.

After all, they are students, so they didn't want to be too harsh. Besides, the reason they were invited here was to help MIT check for evil spirits, so they decided to take a look at the teaching building first.

"Alright, then let my wife take a look."

Rowling closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, there was a barely perceptible white tinge in them.

She only slightly opened her senses.

She is a medium, and a very talented one at that, with extraordinary perception abilities, capable of making prophecies, exploring the past, and even sensing supernatural information.

In her eyes, the world has gained a sense of diversity.

In this situation, the presence and traces of evil spirits become very obvious.

only……

!!!

Horrified! Shocked!
Right below the podium, a terrifying being was staring at her—a being with countless evil spirits writhing and wailing inside its belly, a wisp of flame burning on its forehead, and blood and the wailing of dead souls on its wrists!
His eyes held a hint of curiosity.

But in her eyes, it was the devil's sneer!

boom!
The chair was overturned.

Ed quickly helped Rowling up, his eyes full of concern and vigilance. Rowling seemed a little off, gripping his hand tightly while her gaze was fixed on someone below the stage.

"what happened?"

Rowling didn't make any rash moves, but just shook her head nervously.

Amid boos from the students, the couple quickly left the classroom.

offstage.

Louis stroked his chin, his eyes filled with surprise.

Is this a reflection of myself? It must be.

He had the ability to conceal his presence, and even Abram's true form couldn't detect him before it appeared. Yet, Rowling saw right through him. It seems Rowling's psychic abilities are quite strong.

I wonder who is stronger, Minnie or Ellis, who is currently studying with Ellis.

Louis stood up, ignoring the group of naive students, and chased after them. He still wanted to have a chat with the Warrens.

Let's see what this exorcist couple, recognized by the church, are capable of.

As soon as he stood up, he saw Hailey and Mary, raised his head slightly, and walked outside.

The two quickly understood Louis's meaning and followed.

Walking on the white stone path on campus, Rowling was telling Ed about her recent discovery.

Ed was utterly shocked.

"Ed, what did you say that was? A demon? An evil spirit? Or some kind of strange monster?"

The couple complement each other perfectly; the wife, Rowling, is a powerful psychic, and the husband, Ed, is an expert in mysticism, which is why Rowling is asking Ed now.

"No, if I hadn't guessed, he might be a powerful wizard. Of course, there's also the possibility that he's a demon, but if he were a demon, we wouldn't have been able to leave so easily just now. Besides, a demon in its true form couldn't possibly descend."

As for evil spirits and alien monsters, Ed didn't consider them.

Because the probability of either of these is too low.

One reason is insufficient strength, and the other is that they are too rare.

"No matter what, let's go back to the car to get our things first, and then go back to check."
