My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 3 The Exorcism Ceremony
The underground chamber of the church was brightly lit.

Crown looked around carefully.

The white candles formed a large circle and burned quietly. The melted wax oil flowed down the candlestick and slowly solidified.

In each of the four corners of the room stood two sturdy patrolmen.

The ground in the center is sprinkled with silver powder and drawn into an eight-pointed star shape.

On the outside of the eight-pointed star, two concentric circles were drawn, marked with words and strange shapes that he did not recognize.

Nick was wearing a pure white robe with the church's holy emblem embroidered on the chest.

He stood within the candle circle, holding a thick Bible in his hand. The book had a metal cover, shining with brilliant gold, and was also engraved with the holy emblem of the God of Fire.

Looking at the people walking in, the priest nodded slightly and said, "Claudine, stand in the middle of the ceremony."

In Crown's impression, priests would only wear this outfit on God's birthday every year.

It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

The current formation is definitely not just as simple as asking questions.

He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, walked into the candle circle with a calm expression, and stood in the middle of the eight-pointed star.

When walking on the ceremonial pattern, his right foot paused for a very short time and then crushed it hard.

When he stood still and saw that the pattern on the ground had not been deformed in any way due to his movements, he felt a little disappointed.

Nick spoke in a deep voice with a solemn voice: "Crown Morty, as a people of God, you will receive the holy baptism today."

Crown frowned slightly and corrected:

"My pleasure, Father. However, you are mistaken. My name is Croun Moya."

The priest's solemn expression relaxed slightly and he spoke again: "Names are just symbols. Our Lord will remember the soul breath of every lamb who has prayed to him."

"My child, although you have lost all your blood relatives in this world, you will always be bathed in the attention of the gods."

"Hmm," Croun coughed twice and said a little embarrassedly, "Father, I have to interrupt, I also have a sister who got married and moved to the Rhine City."

Now, he has fully accepted the memory of the original owner, and he even knows clearly when he had his first primitive impulse.

Many things that the original owner had forgotten were also clearly recalled.

He is now more real than the original owner!
Nick's expression finally calmed down, because he often bought some herbs for incense from old Moya, and he was familiar with the Croun family.

People possessed by evil spirits have very messy memories and their speech is garbled.

Crown's thinking was clear, and there was a high probability that the other party was unlikely to be possessed by an evil spirit.

As for why he survived the massacre of evil spirits, it can only be attributed to the benevolent care of the Lord of Fire.

Despite this, exorcism rituals still need to be performed for the most accurate verification.

"My child, please close your eyes and silently recite the scriptures of our Lord."

After the priest finished speaking, his voice suddenly became louder: "In the name of the Lord of Fire, we expel every filthy soul."

Following the priest's tone, the flame of the candle shot upwards.

Nick's voice became distant and distant, echoing in the room, as if coming from above the clouds.

The silver powder on the ground turned into a fiery red, turning the place beneath Crown's feet into a fiery red lava land.The patrol officers in the four corners opened their eyes wide, looking at this magical scene, and their faith in the God of Fire immediately became much more pious.

Kroun didn't notice this at all. He had his eyes closed at this time, and he only felt that he was wandering in a warm place.

".All evil forces, evil spirits, and monsters, stay away from the Lamb who believes in our Lord and stop infringing on them."

Nick held up the Holy Emblem on his chest and placed it on Crown's forehead: "Evil spirit, show yourself!"

The holy symbol bloomed with light, as bright as the fiery red sun, and disappeared in a flash.

Nick was shocked when he saw wisps of black mist rising from the person under the holy symbol.

Is this a sign that someone is really possessed by an evil spirit? !

During the exorcism ritual, evil creatures are greatly weakened and they are ignited by the Holy Light, thus revealing themselves.

Only evil creatures burn black gas in rituals.

The black energy on Kroun's body gradually disappeared, but nothing unusual was revealed, and there was even a look of intoxicating enjoyment on his face.

The priest held the Holy Emblem tightly and shouted: "Evil spirit, show yourself!"

The Holy Emblem bloomed again, and black mist steamed out from Crown's body, but it was much lighter than before.

Croun felt two blazing warm currents flowing through his body one after another, and his body suddenly felt relaxed.

For a long time, he heard no other sound, then he opened his eyes and met the priest's doubtful gaze.

Could it be that there was just some evil spirits left in his body? Nick asked in confusion: "What do you feel now? Do you feel any discomfort?"

"I feel full of energy all over my body!"

Crown clenched his fists hard and said, "It feels very comfortable. Father, can you please do it a few more times?"

"Ha", if you do it two more times, you might want to bankrupt me!
The ceremony was originally called Holy Baptism.

Believers bathe in the ocean of divine power, thereby purifying the inner impurities, strengthening their bodies, and improving their life source. In the past, ordinary nobles could not enjoy this treatment.

Exorcism is just a side function of it.

The candles used in the ceremony and the powder sprinkled on the ground require a large amount of money to be exchanged from the church, otherwise the quota given by the church will not be enough.

Nick suddenly smiled: "Of course. It costs 50 gold shields to hold a sacred ceremony. You have just been baptized twice, a total of 100 gold shields. Do you want two more?"

Although I was also blessed by the ceremony, you must pay for the materials in full!

After hearing the priest's words, Crown's smile froze on his face.

100 gold shields, you might as well grab it!
Do you provide this kind of service without my consent?

The smile on Nick's face became more kind, and he spoke gently: "If you don't need to hold the holy baptism ceremony again for the time being, then settle the account. Should you pay in cash or monthly? If you pay monthly, my interest is very low, and the daily interest is ten thousand Five out of five.”

"Father, why is it so expensive to hold a ceremony?" Croun laughed along with him, feeling that he had been cheated. He was itching with hatred in his heart, but he still looked pleasant on the outside.

In Faruk Kingdom, not many people dare to fall out with people from the Flame Lord Church.

Nick pretended to be profound and said: "It's not expensive, but the price of these things is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

He silently added in his heart: I just sold one thing twice, which should be used to compensate for the consumption of the power of faith accumulated in the sanctuary.
