Chapter 63: The Theater (7)
Rebecca moved quickly. After asking around in the exorcists’ group chat, she soon sent over a screenshot of a reply from one of the big names in the group.
[An inverted pentagram formation falls under the category of black magic. It must be disrupted using items that possess inherent sacred power. Holy water blessed by at least one bishop-level cleric, sap from an olive tree over 100 years old, white crystal powder that has absorbed moonlight for seven consecutive full-moon nights, the menstrual blood of a pure virgin, tears of a unicorn… Any of the above can be used to interfere with the formation’s normal operation.]
Everly: [Is this person reliable?]
Rebecca: [Of course. With so many people in the group, if he were wrong, someone would’ve refuted him.]
Everly: [OK, got it. Thanks.]
In a hurry to get moving, Everly forwarded the screenshot to the Micano police.
After going through both the Megan Clinic case and the witch case, Everly had come to a conclusion: the police in this world could be divided into two types. One type consisted of staunch materialists who scoffed at anything supernatural—these were often new recruits or incompetent officers who rarely handled serious crimes. Any officer who had served for a while or dealt with cases involving supernatural forces would, more or less, believe in mysticism.
Thanks to the witch case—particularly Kelly’s act of retaliation—the entire Micano Police Department, except for the rookies who had joined in the past two years, now firmly believed in the existence of supernatural powers. So when Everly sent the message, the Micano police quickly replied that they were already contacting the psychic practitioners who cooperated with the department and were preparing to gather the necessary materials.
Seeing their response, Everly let out a sigh of relief.
