I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 439 Exorcist Leo

Britannia, a quaint capital that has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, still has beautiful scenery at this moment.

The newly elected president attaches great importance to cultural preservation. Even when urban buildings are renovated, they will be rebuilt by retaining the walls facing the street.

In this way, there will be no dilapidated houses due to old houses, and the original style can be preserved.

Britannia's industrialization date is very early, and industrial transformation was attempted before World War I. After the advent of mecha technology, railway technology also developed.

All large factories have basically moved to distant places, but even so, the service industry and financial industry within the imperial capital are enough to make the capital prosperous.

There are many fewer workers in the city, and most of them are middle class. The streets are full of brightly dressed people.

A heavy rain came, and people on the street rushed home.

After the factory was moved, the thick fog mixed with thick coal smoke no longer appeared, but the "canyon" characteristics of the imperial capital city still locked some fog, and there was a kind of earth mixed with fragrance in the air. the smell of grass,

Leo, who had had a chance encounter with Char before and was given a sandbag by Char, was walking slowly on the increasingly quiet and deserted street.

Old Dick, who was rescued by him before, also became his assistant, helping him carry a box and follow him.

Leo was wearing a black windbreaker and holding a black umbrella in his hand, but what the people around him didn't notice was that even the rain that splashed on the ground did not soak into his trouser legs.

And the old Dick next to him had his entire trousers wet.

Under the color of the rain, they came to a quaint stone building and stood in front of the door. They stretched out their hands to lift the door knocker and knocked.

Then, the door opened, and a woman wearing a maid uniform stood at the door, staring at them like a bird of prey. Even in the dim light, her sharp eyes were still clearly visible.

"Hello." Leo took off his hat and said, "I was invited by Mr. Baroque."

The maid looked at them from head to toe for a long time, then nodded, her eyes dull, like a scarecrow.

"Please come in," the maid said, her words cold.

Leo and Old Dick followed the maid through the dark corridor without saying a word. The smell filling the room reminded him of the train platform to Hogwarts.

It's indoors, and there's not enough light all year round, so it feels dark and humid.

They walked up a staircase and came to an office. The environment here was still dim, with candlelight flickering, but the decoration was very luxurious. The floor was covered with high-quality carpets, and most of the famous books bound in leather covers were placed everywhere.

However, the place where some exquisite handicrafts should have been placed is now filled with various crosses and scriptures.

Behind the desk in the middle was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion. He had heavy dark circles under his eyes and looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep in many days.

"Hello, Mr. Baroque." Leo saluted the middle-aged man.

Baroque raised his head and glanced at him with tired eyes, "Are you Exorcist Leo?"

"Yes."

"I heard from Majev that you are a very good exorcist," he said.

"Of course." There was a smile in Leo's eyes, "If I fail to exorcise the demon successfully, we will not charge any compensation."

Although most people's attention has been attracted by the war in recent years, there have been many changes in the magical world.

It was just like the information Char obtained when he entered Tartarus during the Gaiward period.

Because of the changes in the world, many demons and monsters in Hades, including Tartarus, escaped to the human world.

Some of the bigger targets are being hunted by the God of Death, but there are always some omissions. For example, some relatively weak demons possess the living people and can deceive the God of Death's detection.

The various supernatural events brought about by these possession incidents have also given rise to many exorcists, priests and other people who cheat in the name of exorcism, and chaos gradually arises.

Although the Magic Association is separated from humans, they are still humans, and they cannot sit back and let this situation continue.

So the Exorcist Department was born, and every city basically has an exorcist responsible for this type of incident.

The reason why it is distinguished from magicians is that even the weakest demons are difficult for ordinary magicians to deal with.

As Brunhil said, human beings have an upper limit after all.

Exorcists, on the other hand, have received certain training and have more awareness and knowledge of the demons in the underworld, as well as more targeted response methods.

After passing certain examinations, they have the right to use magic more freely than ordinary magicians.

Nowadays, there are many liars claiming to be exorcists in the world, and these exorcists can hide among these liars to perform exorcisms, and they can also achieve the purpose of hiding from the world.

After all, demonic possession is a rare thing, and it won't cause a big fuss. If it does, there will be someone from the Exorcism Department who will come to deal with it and erase the memory.

And the biggest advantage of this is that it can increase the number of jobs in the magical world.

The exorcism department does not pay remuneration, but only acts as an overall management, and their remuneration is freely collected from the objects of exorcism.

Therefore, they are not responsible for distributing money, and Leo can freely bring Old Dick to work with him.

The reason why the maid was so indifferent to them just now was because they had hired many exorcists before, but to no avail, so this time they naturally thought they were liars.

Hearing Leo's words, Baroque's eyes, which were originally dim, also had some hope.He struggled to get up from his seat, "I also hope you can succeed."

With that said, he led Leo and others into another room.

The layout of this room is somewhat stunning.

There is a huge cross hanging on the wall when you open the door. On the left side hang the portraits of the Three Pure Ones, and on the right side hang the three Buddhist Buddhas of the past, future and present.

The red rope formed a formation that Leo couldn't understand at all. It was covered with various charms, and even the quilt was filled with scriptures.

With Leo's occult knowledge, in addition to the main Eastern and Western faith sects, there are even more than a dozen local sects' exorcism methods.

Leo was unable to complain for a while.

Not to mention whether these methods are useful, he doesn't know if the guys in these paintings will destroy the demons if they are spiritual, but they will definitely fight directly.

The culture of Britannia is still very rich. The integration of Northern Europe and Britain has not only the Protestant faith here, but also the Buddhist and Taoist heritage in the north.

It can be said that this is all the solution that this Baroque gentleman can find.

Leo didn't say much. He couldn't question a father's love for his daughter.

Lying on the bed was a teenage girl with a pale face and sunken cheeks. She looked like she hadn't eaten for a long time, but she was still breathing.The bottle on one side is delivering nutrient solution to her, and the maid should also feed her some liquid food and water from time to time. This should be the reason why she can maintain her life.

Her eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping.

As soon as he saw this appearance, Leo roughly knew what was going on.

"It's narcolepsy, right?" Leo said.

Baroque nodded, "One night three months ago, my daughter went to bed very early because she had to go to school tomorrow morning, but who knew."

Baroque's eyes were filled with sadness, "It's been half a year since I slept."

"My wife died early, and Maria is my only support and my only family." Baroque looked at Leo, as if looking at his only savior, "If you can save her, even if It’s okay to give all my property to you.”

"Don't worry, I only charge what I should charge." Leo said.

Then, he looked at the girl with a solemn expression.

Narcolepsy began in the world after the world war a hundred years ago. It can be said to be a terminal disease.

There is no sign or reason when the disease starts. After lying down, I don't know why I can't wake up.

Over the past hundred years, countless children have spent their entire lives sleeping on that hospital bed, and countless families have fallen into the abyss of pain.

Over the past hundred years, many doctors have devoted their lives to treating this disease, but they have never been able to make any breakthrough.

Of course, there will be no breakthrough with the medical technology of this world, because this is not a disease at all, but a demon-like existence that resides in the dreams of these children.

Magicians call them nightmares.

An existence governed and ruled by the god of sleep is also classified as a demon.

This kind of demon has different levels of strength, but it is particularly difficult to deal with because ordinary people in the dream world cannot enter it at all.

Even looking at the entire magic world, there is no particularly good way, but Leo is different.

He took a deep breath and slowly took out a sandbag from his body. It was the same one that Xia Ya had asked him to hand over to his friend.

In fact, Leo was initially reluctant to use this sandbag. After all, it was something Merlin asked him to hand over to others.

But after he became an exorcist, he encountered a very difficult demon to deal with, and it was this sandbag that helped him.

A person becomes accustomed to taking shortcuts after taking them for the first time, and after that he becomes a little out of control.

He found that the sand in the sandbag was almost endless, so it was no problem for him to use some. It not only allowed people to fall asleep quickly, but could even create dreams in reality.

Of course, the most powerful thing is that it can take you anywhere, even other people’s dreams
Leo opened the sandbag, and black sand flowed out of the sandbag, under the horrified expression of the baroque and the maid.

The sand began to float automatically in violation of the rules of physics, directly covering Leo.

The next moment, Leo disappeared directly from the spot.

Old Dick on one side was not surprised.

"Sir." Barok looked at Old Dick in shock, "What's going on? Where is Mr. Leo?"

"He entered your daughter's dream." Old Dick said, "Your daughter has indeed encountered a demon, a demon called a nightmare, which specializes in occupying people's dreams."

"Don't worry, he is very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. He should be out soon."

In the past few months, Baroque can be said to have hired all kinds of exorcists, whether they looked reliable or looked unreliable, and spent a lot of money, but in the end they all failed. return.

But this is the first time I have seen someone with this kind of strange ability like now.

But at this moment, a little hope appeared in the eyes of Baroque, who had originally dim eyes, and he looked at his daughter on the bed.
