Beauty Roundup: Scientific Exorcism

Chapter 145

While preparations were in full swing at the Pluto Church.

Still the same pitch-black muscle car, the Ford Raptor, ambles through the last neighborhood.

Sweeping in a controlled direction, Yorks glanced at Irene, who was sitting in the passenger seat and clutching her knees tightly without saying a word.

From the beginning of departure, the other party has always been stiff, but her expression has always been gentle and calm.

This seems a little pretentious.

Yorks couldn't help laughing and said, "Nervous?"

Irene turned her head stiffly, only to see the priest's deep eyes glowing with wisdom. She knew that everything she deliberately concealed could not be hidden from the priest.

"A little bit, I'm afraid they don't like me."

Because of the tension, Irene exhaled lightly, as if exhaling the tension in her heart.

Yorks withdrew his gaze, thinking of the believers who accompanied the Pluto church along the way, smiled,
"Don't be nervous, they are very nice, um, literally good, the important thing is that they have long been looking forward to your arrival."

Irene was a little puzzled and stared at the priest.

But Yorks kept his mouth shut. Who made him, the only clergyman of the Pluto Church, not be in the church at all times? The believers have been complaining for a long time...

As it turns out, that is indeed the case.

When the Ford Raptor arrived at the Pluto Church, they had just entered the church, and all the believers present skipped over him, the priest, and all flocked to Irene's side.

The heart of the conversation can be reduced to one sentence.

"Son! You're finally here..."

"..."

Watching the little nun gradually relax under these warm smiles and friendly greetings, Yorks took a special look at Jeffrey and Baker who were sneaking over, and then glanced at the preparations and arrangements of the believers. s things.

There is a large space in the middle, and the aisle on the opposite side is filled with fruits and vegetables, snacks and other long tables that extend down to completely surround the Pluto Church.

The neat row of stools is decorated with some flowers, and there are ribbons and decorative items on the walls on both sides...

Simple, but all this can make people feel that this is really welcoming Irene.

"Good job, Robert, thank you for your hard work."

Yorks nodded slightly to Robert, who had been standing beside him with a smile on his face.

Robert bowed his head slightly, smiling brightly.

"Father Yorks, this is what I have to do."

Yorks reached out and patted the strong man with a happy face, and looked at Jeffrey and Baker who had already walked over.

These two guys were obviously tired, but they came to the church without taking a break. Thinking about it, they knew that they must have something to look for him.

Of course, it may also be to report yesterday's situation to him.

But this speculation has been broken by the file bag in Jeffrey's hand.

Yorkes tended to seek him out on matters, possibly supernatural matters.

And that was his favorite thing to do, the more supernatural the more he liked it.

"Two police officers, are you here today?" Yorks asked first.

Jeffrey stopped, his eyes stopped on Robert,
"Father Yorks, can I take a step to speak?"

"of course can."

Yorks nodded indifferently, looked at Irene who was surrounded by believers and asked all kinds of questions, and answered with a smile, and gave instructions to Robert,
"Robert, let me know when they're done chatting."

Robert said seriously, "Okay, Father."

Hearing this, Yorkist walked towards the small room, minding his own business.
"Come with me."

Jeffrey and Baker looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Once in the small room, Yorks pointed to the sofa for them to sit down, and sat himself in front of the coffee table.

"Is there a problem with what happened last night?"

Jeffrey just sat down with Baker and shook his head quickly.

"No, Father, things went well last night."

Yorks knew it well, staring at Jeffrey with dark circles under his eyes,
"Then why are you here this time?"

Jeffrey took out the document bag that he had been carrying all the time and handed it out.

"We have recently received a strange case, and we have been a little puzzled. I would like to ask you to analyze whether there are supernatural factors in it."

really……

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Yorks picked up the document bag, untied the rope buckle, and took out the contents.

A bunch of files and associated photos.

Yorks just held these things on his knees, and leaned against the back of the sofa chair to read.

Jeffrey and Baker consciously held their breath, for fear of affecting the priest in front of them.

"The places where these murders occurred are all in Suite 1408?"

Knowing about the circumstances of the murder case, Yorks stared at the room number on the document, his heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, Father." Jeffrey said appropriately.

"This suite 1408 is known as the death suite by those who know it. According to the investigation information, these deceased people basically committed suicide an hour after entering this suite."

1408...

Remembering this number first, Yorks squinted his eyes habitually, and turned to the next page again.

"Seven suicides by jumping from a building, four by overdose, five by hanging, three by self-harm, two by suffocation..."

Staring at the detailed cause of death and hotel-related statistics, Yorks twitched the corners of his mouth inaudibly.

He removed these various and bizarre causes of death, and his eyes stopped directly at the key places.

All cases took place in suite 1408 of the Sea Bend Hotel.

There were 57 deaths in total, which is also the sum of all deaths that have occurred at the Sea Bend Hotel.

This means that the Sea Bend Hotel, which is safe and secure, with an occupancy rate of 90.00%, had a total of 57 murders.

All 57 murders occurred in Suite 1408.

From this point alone, Yorks has concluded that there must be supernatural power in this apartment.

In this world, apart from doing it deliberately, except that the Lord who will not make choices for you, but only borrows all the hints around him, except for supernatural powers, many things will not be so coincidental.

In addition to the above, the important point that can give a strong proof is that the sum of all the numbers in the 1408 suite is exactly the number 13.

Yorks silently turned to the next page,
Whether in the previous life or in this parallel world, the number 13 symbolizes the unknown and misfortune in the West.

Not only in the concept of everyone in the West, the number 13 is also the same in the religions of the previous life and the church of this parallel world.

13 contains death.

In other words, the notion that 13 is considered ominous in Western culture has to do with religion and history.

Yorks deliberately searched out the dates and times of the deaths of these 56 murders, and recalled the famous events related to 13 in his mind.

Jesus' Last Supper had 13 participants, including Judas, who betrayed Jesus.

In Genesis, Abraham's son Isaac was taken by his father to Mount Moriah as a sacrifice to God, an event believed to have occurred when Isaac was 13 years old...
