Chapter 48: The magic weapon is not enough, technology comes to make up.
The mercenary Ryan died, but his tongue was not pulled out.
In Xu Yi's view, the evil spirit Mary Xiao is a person who attaches great importance to "ritual sense". So far, everyone who has died in its hands has had their tongues pulled out.
The exception was made now, not because Ryan was special, but simply because the other party's mouth was wrapped with thick black tape, sealing his mouth.
"What a talent! You shouldn't be called Ryan, you should be called Malphite." Xu Yi sighed.
He could probably guess the other person's thoughts. After hearing about Mary Shaw's murderous methods, Ryan's smart little head started to activate.
Since if you open your mouth to scream, your tongue will be pulled out, isn't it okay if you don't open your mouth?
So Ryan kept his mouth sealed with tape almost the whole time, and even to be cautious, he stipulated that he could not eat for more than two minutes.
Unfortunately, in the face of truly terrifying evil spirits, this little trick has limited effect.
Ryan was bleeding from all his orifices and his face was a strange purple-red color, which was caused by extreme congestion.
In other words, Ryan’s heart exploded!
Mary Shaw seems to kill people by pulling out people's tongues, but that is just an appearance. Mary Shaw's real method of killing is fear.
Ryan's heart burst because of extreme fear.
Xu Yi ignored Ryan and started rummaging around the room. After a moment, he sighed, a little disappointed.
He didn't find the puppet, and the "Necromantic Spell Experience Pack" was gone.
At this moment, the movement in Hunter and Laura’s room also disappeared, and the hotel fell into silence again.
Xu Yigang came to the door of Hunter and their room. The door creaked open and Hunter walked out with a tired look. When he saw Xu Yi, he was stunned for a moment.
"You...are you okay?" Hunter was surprised.
Xu Yi's body was so clean, not to mention the wounds, there wasn't even dust on his clothes.
He didn't understand how Xu Yi did it. They spent a lot of effort to drive away the evil spirits.
Didn't Mary Xiao take action against Xu Yi? Hunter guessed in his mind.
"Do you also have this thing in your room?" Xu Yi didn't know what Hunter was thinking. He stared at the thing in Hunter's hand, his eyes shining.
Hunter was holding a puppet of a little girl in his hand. The overly red cheeks made the puppet look weird.
Hunter and Laura looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Since there are puppets controlled by evil spirits in Xu Yi's room, it means that Mary Xiao also attacked Xu Yi.
But why does the other party look so relaxed?
When they received the commission, they were full of confidence. They were members of the Lopez family. How could they not deal with ordinary evil spirits?
But after facing Mary Xiao, they realized how naive they were.
If it weren't for their numerous magic exorcism tools, they might have turned into two cold corpses.
Could it be that the Asian in front of me is a disciple of some great exorcist?
Xu Yi could probably guess what the two of them were thinking, but he didn't care. He was more concerned about the puppet in the other's hand, "What are you going to do with this puppet?"
If it had been before, the two of them would have ignored Xu Yi, but Now I have to pay attention to what the other person says.
After Laura hesitated for a moment, she whispered to Xu Yi, "We are going to throw it away."
Logically speaking, the two of them are from the Lopez exorcism family, and they must know that if the puppet is thrown away, the other party will definitely come back, The best way to deal with it is to burn it.
Xu Yi thought for a moment and understood what the two of them were thinking.
This is a long-term plan to catch big fish!
It seems that the two of them must have made some secret arrangements in the puppet. When Mary Xiao retrieves the puppet, they can use the arrangement in the puppet to find Mary Xiao's lair.
Between a "Necromantic Spell Experience Pack" and a group of "experience packs", Xu Yi decisively chose the latter.
"Then throw it away! There is a trash can at the door of the hotel." Xu Yi replied softly.
Their conversation was very cryptic, in order to prevent the walls from hearing each other. After all, no one knew whether Mary Xiao had really left.
Hunter carried the puppet, walked to the door of the hotel, threw it into the trash can, then turned and left.
After a few minutes, they checked again and found that the puppet was gone. "With this ability, it would be a shame not to deliver food!" Xu Yi exclaimed.
Hunter and Laura smiled in response to Xu Yi, but their smiles were too stiff and felt like fake smiles.
In fact, they also know very well that facing an evil spirit like Mary Xiao, maintaining a relaxed attitude like Xu Yi is the right approach.
But remembering that they almost died at the hands of Mary Xiao, they couldn't relax.
"Mr. Xu Yi, let's act together!" Hunter took the initiative to invite.
At first, he thought Xu Yi was just a foil, but now it seems that the other party is the trump card that James invited to deal with the evil spirits.
"No problem." Of course Xu Yi would not refuse.
Does he still want to borrow the other party's paintings to gain entry experience?
Moreover, since the other party was able to lock down Mary Xiao's position, he took advantage no matter what.
There was no moonlight tonight, and the surroundings were as dark as thick ink. Only the lights of the cars illuminated the front. No one was in the mood to chat. After driving quietly for more than ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.
Xu Yi got out of the car and looked ahead.
I didn’t feel this way during the day. When I watched the old theater at night, I felt like a monster opening its huge mouth in the dark, waiting for its prey to enter and then swallow it in one bite.
Hunter took out a golden wind chime from the metal box. The wind chime was blown by the wind and made a crisp sound.
Xu Yi was very interested in Hunter's magic exorcism tools, but he did not ask out loud. After all, they were other people's family magic tools. Asking rashly would only embarrass everyone.
"Do you need a flashlight?" Hunter took out a few flashlights from his backpack and asked.
"Thank you, no need, I'm prepared!"
Hunter thought Xu Yi had already taken it from the hotel and didn't think much about it. Then he heard a "click" and Xu Yi turned on the flashlight switch.
Hunter was facing Xu Yi, and when Xu Yi turned on the flashlight, Hunter happened to look up again.
Then...
"Ah!" Hunter screamed.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Xu Yi apologized profusely and quickly moved the flashlight away.
Hunter covered his eyes in pain, his vision turned white. After a long pause, his vision gradually recovered.
"I almost thought I was going blind!" Hunter looked at Xu Yi with a look of resentment.
Laura looked at the thing in Xu Yi's hand, dumbfounded, then looked down at her flashlight and turned it off silently.
Xu Yi held an oversized flashlight in his hand, which was ten times larger than an ordinary flashlight. The strong light emitted was believed by some to be laser light.
The strong light illuminated the theater door, making it brighter than staying in a hotel.
Since he knew that he was exorcising demons in a place without lights like an abandoned old theater, how could Xu Yi not prepare in advance.
Xu Yi asked Arent to find someone to custom-make this flashlight. Both its brightness and battery life were far superior to ordinary flashlights.
He originally wanted to order a flashlight that could illuminate the entire building when the light was turned on.
Unfortunately, limited by the technological level of the times and my own pocket, I can only come up with this weakened version, which can illuminate an area within ten meters.
Hunter and Laura looked at each other and felt that inviting Xu Yi to come with them was the right decision.
Not to mention anything else, at least seeing this bright light makes people feel safer and less afraid of Mary Shaw.
