The Record Of Barton's Fantastical Events

Chapter 163: Chapter 32 A Certain Person’

“Do you know what I have been doing these past few days?” Crowlie asked Zach with a smile.

The reason why Crowlie asked this question was because her behavior in the past few days could be seen in the newspaper. For example, the riots in the southeast of the North District in the past few days, it was mainly because she was ‘walking around without a container’ like Zach said.

“You went to harass our mayor Anthony.” Zach smiled and said, “‘Terrorized’ our little detective and ‘spied’ on our neighbours.” The smile on Zach’s face seemed even more obvious. It seemed that it was an interesting thing to deliberately ”worsen’ the description of the other party. “And now, you stalked me all the way here.”

“Ha ha ha.” Crowlie smiled. When the vampire said so, her feelings were slightly hurt. “Consider it so. Let me tell you what happened in the correct order.”

“When I was about to leave Anthony’s office, I felt that my man was killed….” Crowlie began to go through what really happened.

After leaving James, the image of the person who killed the demon was already printed in Crowlie’s mind. Although the face she saw was not complete and it was impossible to confirm his appearance, Crowlie was very familiar with the other party’s clothes – the most common dress of priests and pastors.

Crowlie’s movements were not slow. Knowing that the other party was a clergyman, she began to investigate. It could be said that this demon did the same thing as James did in the afternoon on Saturday, just to find out the identity of that person. It was just that Crowlie did not need to deal with Coulson, this trouble, like James, nor did she have any concerns like the human detective. Therefore, her actions were much faster!

But she, who was already in control of the churches in Barton, obviously did not find the person anywhere in the area under her control. At that time, there was only one church she had never touched—the Church of the Holy Child in the south of Barton City, west of the Grande Funeral home.

So Crowlie naturally sent someone to the church of Holy Child. As for who it was, Zach may not know, but Matthew and Matthew’s father Joseph might know him – He was the priest of the Gospel Church in the South District, the injured person who was discovered by Benjamin.

The outcome was already determined long ago, the priest retreated after his defeat. The opponent was armed with a dagger capable of destroying souls. The poor guy who was killed in the southeast of the North District was also killed by this weapon.

Then Crowlie went there personally.

You can think of it as Crowlie wanting to avoid accidents, so she temporarily possessed the body of an unlucky nun. So the nun became ill. Her body became a host for a fallen angel soul which was too powerful for her body. As a result, her sick body couldn’t bear the burden.

Of course, the point here was not that, the point was that Crowlie met the person who she was looking for. In a brief moment, the man left the church of Holy Child and was expelled by the person in charge, Father Constantine.

It would be impossible to say that she was not curious. So Crowlie stayed in the body of the nun in the church of Holy Child for a while, enjoying the care of Louise from the Grande family. Of course, in addition to the curiosity about the Grande family, Crowlie was even more curious about the priest of the church – Constantine.

“You are neighbours, what kind of person is he?” Crowlie asked Zach suddenly.

The vampire was not surprised, he could perceive some things faintly, but the priest had always maintained decorum with the Grande family. Now that Zach was required to describe the priest, Zach could only reply with meaningless words, “He is a good man.”

Crowlie raised her eyebrows with a smile, “You are right, at least he spent an afternoon persuading me to leave his nun.”

Zach smiled and said that Father Constantine was such an interesting person.

Of course, after seeing Louise with the nun’s eyes, Crowley did not listen to Constantine and remained in the nun’s body because Louise promised her that she would come back tomorrow to take care of her. ‘Talking to Louise was a lot of fun’ were Crowley’s exact words.

‘She always seems to be able to make people confide their hearts to her inadvertently. When they are just about to notice what they have said, she will always be able to distract them so that they will not be embarrassed and uncomfortable. ‘

Zach had a proud look on his face. When he asked about the itinerary of everyone in the church of Holy Child from Louise while talking to James, Louise’s detailed reply was obtained in such a way that Crowlie found interesting.

Crowlie failed to form effective communication with Constantine during her time at the church of Holy Child, and the priest did not reveal any information to the demon. It was not long ago that circumstances changed again.

Crowlie felt a little change, coming from the barrier she had set up.

“When I found out that you and the werewolf were looking for Neil and Tiffany,” Crowlie organized her words, “To prevent the information of hell from being leaked, I set a barrier in the memories of their souls.”

Zach shook his head contemptuously, “Your technique was really irresponsible. You completely disrupted the index order in their soul imprints. The confusion and interruption of memory directly led to their insanity.”

Crowlie smiled helplessly, “Well, I admit that I didn’t handle it well. If I had your eyes, I could have done better.”

Zach smiled, taking it as a compliment again.

But this time it was indeed a praise. Memory exists both in the soul and in the body. They are completely different things. In the brain, memory is memory; while in the soul, it is the mark of the connection between the soul and the body.

Regarding the different memory dealing abilities that the vampire and the demon have, we can’t say which one is superior. Because just like what Crowlie did to James, Crowlie could invade another person’s soul and see all the memories, while Zach could only use hypnotizing eyes to let people speak out proactively. But if Zach encountered someone with communication barriers, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

In terms of altering memory, the vampire’s hypnotizing eyes were much stronger. At least in Zach’s long life, he had never caused anyone to lose their sanity.

But when Crowlie “sealed and locked” the contact mark in the souls, all the memories of poor Neil and Tiffany were disrupted and turned into a knotted chain, crippling them completely, making them unable to take care of themselves.

Even if someone wanted to help them straighten out the source of the knotted chain, the barrier that was not part of this world would cause backlash against those who wanted to help, for example, burning the eyes of the vampire. This ability that could only be used once was not comparable to the hypnotizing eyes.

“But don’t worry, this problem has now been solved.” Crowlie narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. “Someone opened my barrier and cut off the mark from the time they were pulled into hell.”

Zach frowned because Crowlie said something interesting.

“Although their souls have been forcibly cut off, inflicting a serious injury, they have returned to normal. After a period of recuperation, they will be fine.” Crowlie said.

“Do you think it’s the same person?” Zach asked.

Crowlie nodded and said, “Mhm, a human. Actually, having such an ability, he can no longer be called a human.”

Zach thought for a while and concluded, “So he is not only a demon hunter but also a demon himself.”

Why was there such a conclusion? Because Zach had already said in the conversation with James that if the demon hunter would expel angels from heaven, then they would be truly just. But obviously, they were not like that.

Having an unjust heart, coupled with their faith, they were destined to go to hell.

Being able to open Crowlie’s barrier had already shown that the opponent was no longer a creature of this world. Then the answer would come out very smoothly.

A demon hunter has appeared in Barton. For some unclear reasons, he lived peacefully in Barton. He only killed a small demon that caused a disturbance and wounded the priest who came to investigate. In addition, he also cured Neil and tiffany, which was equivalent to cover Crowlie’s ass.

Zach smiled and shook his head. “Are you finished?” He glanced at Crowlie, who was still thinking, “Although it happened in our city, I still don’t know how this has anything to do with me.”

Crowlie pursed her lips, “It may not have anything to do with you now, but one day, it will. Just like before…” Crowlie recalled, “the Gale couple, is this the name? I don’t know everything about what happened between you guys, but from what I know from James, one day, people like them will be involved in our lives.”

Zach narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and nodded. This analogy was very appropriate. Even in the witchcraft’s belief, there were heaven and hell similar to that of the Church of the Holy Lord. It was just that the division was a bit unclear. If Dead Apostles and Black Witch were demons, then Spell who stopped all of this would be considered a demon hunter.

Zach now had a feeling of watching a play just because the other party did not affect the Grande family. In fact, he had discovered that the other party was involved with his own life, just as Alice actually walked into the Grande family because of Spell. Zach concluded that the peace the Grande family had during this period was due to Constantine. This priest had obviously reached an agreement with the other party not to disturb the Grande family.

Then what the priest said at that time could be explained. The priest must have felt that everything was happening way too fast. He wanted the Grande family to think carefully and slowly about the future.

“So, what do you want to do?” Zach smiled and looked at Crowlie.

“I don’t want to do anything.” Crowlie’s face suddenly became a little complicated, with a trace of disdain, a trace of hesitation, and a trace of indifference, “I will only treat the incident in the North District as a statement of his existence.” Crowlie leaned back, “I’m almost a little used to living in this city. Let’s see how it will develop in the future.”

Zach raised his eyebrows, and his evaluation of Crowlie went up a little bit..
