Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 997 "The Future Is No Bright"

  Alex Brown is 21 years old this year. He lives in Florida, a small city with beautiful scenery.

  Currently, he is a state university student. He usually likes to exercise and socialize. Apart from occasional drunkenness and non-brained risk-taking behavior, he has no bad habits, and his family has no psychiatric genetic history.

Before he was sent to the monastery, he went to explore the island of Povilla in Venice. Later, he received a routine examination at the local hospital and found no abnormalities. After arriving at the monastery, he developed fever the next day and kept talking nonsense in his mouth. He attacked him at night that day. Monk and caused his death.

  Currently he is being held in the room where he lives. Several old monks jointly controlled him and removed the victim's body, which is now stored in the ice cellar.

In the Middle Ages, the windows of the monastery were very small and very high. Joseph had to climb a ladder to see the situation inside. At this moment, Alex turned around in the house like a trapped beast, and roared from time to time. .

  Joseph shook his head slightly, and went down the stairs. Dean Sean and the former exorcist were looking at him, as if waiting for him to express his opinions.

  "Did he get worse after he came to the monastery?" Joseph asked.

   "Yes, Father Joseph." Dean Sean said, "When he first arrived, he was relatively quiet, but he was so scared that he was cursed."

"He said that someone sprinkled a handful of ashes on his face on the island of Povilla." The former exorcist said, "Could you borrow your plane and send him to a nearby hospital for an examination. In the Venice hospital, he only does Routine inspection."

   "What do you mean?" Joseph asked.

   "I suspect he is not possessed." The former exorcist looked at Joseph and said, "but he has a disease such as epilepsy."

   "He has no family history of epilepsy."

   "The fact that the family does not have this disease does not mean that he does not have it."

   "How many of you subdued him?" Joseph asked Dean Sean.

"four people."

  "The space on the helicopter is limited. What if he attacks the pilot?" Joseph looked at his senior.

   "We can tie him up with rope."

   "Mr. Brown bit off Father Howard's face." Joseph said with a cold face, "I don't think this can be caused by ordinary epilepsy."

  No one is talking anymore.

  Joseph looked around.

   "Where are the others?"

   "All pray in their own room." Dean Xiao En said.

  "How is their situation?"

"everything is normal."

  "How many people know the past of this monastery?"

   "Everyone knows." The exorcist said loudly, "There have been no problems here for 400 years. Maybe the monastery itself has no problems."

  Joseph turned his attention to this predecessor again.

   "There is no problem in the monastery, what is the problem?" Joseph asked.

   "Ten years after the monastery moved away, someone in Bavaria broke out a witchcraft panic through the food crisis. It was man-made. They deliberately spread panic to achieve their political goals." The exorcist said.

   "What storms can a monastery in the mountains raise?"

"That's because we are far away from the crowd. No one else knows what happened here except the people inside us. The reason why there is no one here is because the land is barren and blocked. No one wants to fight for it at all, so I think that the monastery There is no problem with our monks themselves. What is “poisonous” is something else.” The former exorcist looked at the dial on the clock tower and said, “The purpose of our invention of the clock is to try to spend more time praying to and worshipping God. But this technology has the greatest effect on those who completely respect themselves for money."

  The earliest clocks were invented by Benedictine monks in the 12th century. These monks had to do seven prayers every day. In order to accurately time their seven-segment prayer rituals, they invented clocks instead of hourglasses.

  In fact, clocks and watches have indeed regularized their lives, but what the monks did not realize is that clocks and watches are not only a tool for timing, but also a means to integrate and control human behavior.

What time do you get up every day? what time to work? What time does class start and school end?

In the Middle Ages, timepieces created an orderly regularity for the lives of workers and merchants. With it, today’s fixed production process, delivery time and fixed working time, as well as the resulting standardized products, are all available. It is the basic feature of industrial society.

  Agriculture does not need to be like this. It only needs to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. In ancient times, people had more free time at their disposal. Technological inventors often don't know what consequences their invention will bring to society. It is precisely this way that it is difficult to predict. Even if the purpose of some inventions is good at the beginning, it will bring disaster consequences later.

  "You think the Benedict is a hermit, shouldn't you get involved in secular struggles?" Joseph also looked at the watch marked with Roman numerals and said, "What do you think is the use of saying this now?"

  "We are wasting time. First of all, we have to rule out whether Mr. Brown has a behavioral disorder caused by the illness, and then analyze whether he is really ‘obsessed’. We ask the Holy See for help."

   "Do you question me?" Joseph walked up to the opponent, staring at him fiercely, his nose almost touching his face.

"In the Middle Ages, we started investigating the case based on whether it was witchcraft or not. We should analyze the case from who can get the most benefit from murder and panic." The exorcist did not back down and looked at Joseph. "Not to mention. I don’t think that a handful of ashes can make people like this."

  "Do you know where Povilha Island is?"

  "Plague Island, it is covered with the ashes of the dead." The former exorcist said, "The plague will not be spread through ashes. This is common sense in modern people."

  Joseph laughed.

   "You make him very angry, don't you?"

  The former exorcist also laughed.

  "We are not magicians, and exorcism is not a public performance. Demons and evil spirits do exist. Do you remember the last time you failed to exorcise Lieutenant Matt?"

   "How long have you been on the phone, did they even tell you this?"

"There is a creature that hides in the shadow of a person. At first, it makes people feel tired, and then feels hopeless and groggy. When people kneel down and cry because of this emotion, it will pounce on the victim and devour the victim. In fact, the way to deal with it is very simple. Just kick the nearby stones one by one and it will go away. Have you tried this method?"

"what?"

"The sun is just one of the stars. It is not worthy of being worshiped as a god. The Aztecs worship the sun for fear of it disappearing. The sun did not help them overcome fear." The former exorcist said, "Their psychology is the same as your fear of Brown. Mr. will break free, it is the same as attacking the driver. What you are afraid of is your own fantasy."

   "I call this ‘fantasy’ the predictable ‘future’."

   "So you are a fortuneteller? Or do you judge this because you received the ‘will of God’?"

  Joseph was so angry that he was about to start arguing, the abbot said at this time.

  "Why not let me accompany Mr. Brown to the hospital, and promise in the name of God that even if I die, Mr. Brown will not hurt others."

   "Then also ask the driver if he wants it." Joseph said with a green face.

   "It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to, I know a Serbian special soldier, he can drive military helicopters, let alone this kind of civilian use." The exorcist lowered his head and bowed to Joseph. "Thank you for your generosity, Father Joseph."

   "Take me to see Father Howard's body." Joseph said to Dean Sean without looking at him.

   "Please come with me." Dean Xiao En said politely.

It just so happened that the bell rang at 12 o'clock. According to normal people’s daily life, it was time for lunch, but obviously, the three of them were not in the mood to eat. They quickly walked in the ancient monastery and disappeared quickly. trace.

The power game in Bavaria is wonderful. The prince and the bishop promoted by the pope are fighting back and forth, and the university law school is also involved. It takes a new book to tell you about the thirty years. Those who are interested can go to Kangkang. Not much to describe
