Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 246 Whose turn is it next?
"I thought exorcising demons and finding the Spear of Longinus were your goals as an exorcist?"

"But maintaining peace in the wizarding world is the mission of the Forresters. It seems that you have a greater responsibility?"

A Hellblazer and Count Goff, two well-known figures in their respective circles, pushed and shoved each other in front of a wooden door for a long time, and finally Constantine, who was better at playing tricks, won.

Lin You stood in front of the wooden door, put on "Armor Protection" first, then surrounded himself with a circle of "Ironclad" and "Universal Protection"; then he thought it was not safe enough, and summoned a silver snake to guard him. Before he pushed the door open, he took out the wooden talisman given by Constantine and held it in his hand, ready to activate the protective magic circle at any time.

There was no sound from the tightly closed wooden door, but a hint of chilliness seeped through the crack, giving people the illusion of a cold wind blowing.

The tip of the gloomy wooden wand pointed directly at the wooden door. Lin You did not choose the simple "unlocking spell", but instead made a "shattered to pieces" spell-casting gesture, but left the magic effect unactivated.

Magic power gathered at the tip of the wand like a tide, constantly increasing the power of the spell until it broke through the upper limit of the magic structure.

The silvery white magic light flashed and disappeared into the wooden door. The next moment, the entire door was completely shattered with a deafening roar, and the size of each fragment was no more than a quarter of the size of an ordinary person's palm.

The onlookers only felt a gust of wind coming from behind, carrying all the debris into the ear room. Lin You was sure that no matter what kind of trap was hidden behind the door, or what kind of enemy was lurking, it would be difficult for them to survive in such a strong wind.

The powerful airflow not only blew away the coldness in the ear room, but also blew away the window at the other end of the ear room, leaving an irregular square hole in the wall.

After a while, the wind died down; the ear room was still silent.

Lin You waved his magic wand and commanded the long snake guardian spirit to swim into the room. The silvery-white light illuminated the entire room, but there was no one there.

This wing should be a place for church clergy to rest before presiding over ceremonies and preaching, and it also serves as a workshop. There is only a table, a chair, a bookcase and a single bed in the room; not only is there no one in sight, but there is not even anything demon-related to be seen.

Lin You looked at it for a long while and was stunned for a long time, then silently put away the wooden talisman. At the same time, he removed the "Solid as an Iron Barrel" and "Universal Protection" surrounding him.

If it is not removed, the door will be blocked.

Constantine peeked inside and said jokingly, "When it comes to exorcism, caution is an indispensable virtue."

The three people and the bird entered cautiously. The wing room was not big, and it was soon turned upside down. The plastic carpet on the floor was blown up by the strong wind, revealing the secret underneath.

A basement entrance covered with wooden boards came into view. Compared with the previous ear room door, the cold and gloomy atmosphere coming from under the wooden boards was even stronger, proving that the darkness was coming from under the floor.

Lin You looked at the wooden door, then glanced at Constantine, and silently took two steps back.

"What?" Constantine vaguely sensed that something was wrong and immediately glared at him.

"It's your turn. You opened the door of the church, I opened the door of the annex, and now it's your turn to open the door of the basement." The short figure took another step back, just enough for the patron saint to curl up at his feet; the silver light stretched his shadow to be extremely tall, reflected on the ceiling. Constantine had no choice but to squat down with a bitter smile of "you've done this yourself" and prepare to open the wooden door; but he heard Lin You reminding him in a gloomy tone: "When performing an exorcism, caution is an indispensable virtue." As a result, Constantine's face became even longer, and his eyes rolled up to the point where only the whites of his eyes were left.

The wooden door opened, and a disgusting stench from below surged up along with gusts of cold wind; Phoenix could not stand the stench, and immediately screamed and changed back to his original form, with flames flashing all around him, wrapping himself in flames.

Lin You waved his wand repeatedly, but several consecutive "Whirlwind Sweep" failed to clear out the foul-smelling air. In the end, he had to cast the "Bubble Head Curse" on himself and Helena, but deliberately ignored Phoenix and Constantine.

"The basement is connected to the sewer, so ventilation is useless." Constantine cursed loudly, "The church is just a cover on the surface. These disgusting guys set up their lair in the sewer."

Before he finished his words, a clear phoenix cry was heard, and the Phoenix, which was hovering at the entrance of the cave, suddenly dived down and spewed a mouthful of fire into the basement.

"No!" Constantine was unable to stop him, he just shouted and subconsciously dodged backwards; Lin You also retreated quickly, and with a wave of his wand, he added a "solidifying spell" to the floor, and at the same time added a thick layer of "protective spell" in front of everyone.

It happened in a flash. As the Phoenix flames sprayed into the deep ground, a loud "bang" was heard and a violent vibration came from under the feet, almost making it impossible to stand.

A ball of even more intense fire rolled up from the cave entrance and rushed straight to the ceiling of the ear room.

Fortunately, the floor solidified by the spell withstood the explosion, and the "protection spell" was cast in time; although the shock wave of the explosion shook everyone, it did not cause any substantial damage. It was just that there was an inevitable "buzzing" sound in the ears.

"Get down here!" Lin You pointed his wand at Phoenix and ordered unhappily.

The little phoenix's body flashed with fire, and it turned into a human form again, standing timidly in front of the cave entrance; he also knew that he was in trouble, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at people when he landed.

Lin You was furious and asked, "Why do you want to do such a stupid thing?"

"It stinks..." Phoenix said aggrievedly.

The phoenix is ​​a noble and elegant creature, and the flame also symbolizes the removal of filth; both its external image and internal characteristics are destined to make the phoenix love cleanliness and hate filth.

Even when he was in hell, Phoenix tried every means to stay away from those dirty demons and only interacted with a few fallen angels. Now that he suddenly encountered the stench, it was his instinct to want to cleanse it with fire.

However, the little phoenix had not been to the human world for hundreds of years, so it didn't know that the sewage in the sewer would react to produce flammable and explosive methane. A burst of flames almost blew off the floor of the church.

"We have to act quickly; the explosion just now can wake up the whole block." Helena reminded in time, "In the slums, fighting with homeless people, or even setting a small fire, no one cares; but an explosion will definitely attract the police."

Lin You held down Phoenix's head and slapped it on the ground, saying righteously: "You have caused trouble, so you must accept the punishment. Since you blew up the sewer, you will be the first one to go down and scout for traps and enemies."
