Vincent might not be the most powerful priest in the parish. After all, he only had the ability of Abnormal, and he was not the type who was good at fighting.
But he was definitely the one with the best reputation and the biggest reputation.
There were many reasons, but the most important was that he always asked the helpers to first prepare a special version of "holy water" and spray it at home every day.
His colleagues were often angry that they had solved the source of the "supernatural incident" quickly and effectively, but the people who asked for help were not as grateful as they thought. They even suspected that they were fooling them.
Usually, they would try to explain, but it was usually to no avail. The more they talked, the angrier they got, and in the end, they would leave on bad terms.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even bother to interact with these stupid ordinary people and would just fling their sleeves and leave, leaving behind a cold impression.
Strangely, the latter had a higher positive rating than the former.
Over time, not many people were willing to talk nonsense with the helpers.
Vincent's method of "holy water first" had greatly improved the efficiency.
First, he let the helpers prepare their own holy water. Not only did it avoid some false reports, but it also gave the helpers a psychological comfort. It could also have a temporary restraining effect on the real evil.
It was killing three birds with one stone. Remember: http://m.9biquge.com
Of course, it was not that no one could imitate this simple method, but no one could achieve the effect that Vincent had.
Obviously, his colleagues often only imitated the surface and did not grasp the essence of it.
For example, they did not know that his holy water formula had been improved.
Normal holy water only required four ingredients: evening primrose, shadow flower, refined salt, and water.
But in the formula he gave, he added 1g of pearls and 0.02g of gold leaf.
The original holy water was all relatively common plants. After combining with the incantation, it could have the effect of exorcising evil. Although it was cheap to say so, it was really … cheap.
After a long period of experimentation, it was concluded that the holy water could be used by the general public. Of course, the cost that the public could accept was fully considered.
But obviously, the general public did not understand this intention.
They only thought, "Can such cheap holy water really be effective?", "Is this guy just brushing me off?", and so on.
Therefore, Vincent decided to add something more expensive to the holy water.
Of course, he would not mess around. The amount of pearls and gold foil was very small. If the other party really had financial difficulties, then he would tell the other party that removing these two materials would be equally effective, but the effect would be slightly weakened. It was not a big problem.
If that didn't work, he would say that he could pay for the cost of the holy water and that it was his responsibility to exorcise evil for the people of the parish.
For them, this amount of money was nothing, but they could often receive the "tearful gratitude" that their colleagues were looking forward to.
It could be said that the final effect of these minor changes was unexpectedly good …
This brought him many benefits.
For example, if the people encountered something unusual, the first person they would contact would definitely be Father Vincent. This increased his performance by a lot.
But it also brought him some trouble.
For example, some of his colleagues were quite critical of him, and occasionally, he would receive commissions that were far beyond his ability.
Even though Vincent was the priest with the best reputation and reputation in the parish.
After all, he was only at the Abnormal level.
Although the bottom of the pyramid in the APDI classification system was already an existence beyond the knowledge of ordinary people, it was still far from those true Extraordinaires.
It was not a problem to deal with some evil spirits and low-level dream beasts, but if he encountered high-level ones, then he could only ask for help. Sometimes, if he made a wrong judgment, his life would be in danger.
"There are always two sides to everything, just like the moon has alternating light and dark. This is a revelation from the dome."
Vincent always sighed like this.
Among all the Extraordinaires, only the lower levels of the church were allowed to show their abilities to the general public.
Of course, this was because the church needed faith, but it was inevitable that Nuo Jin would be disturbed by dreams. Some big incidents needed to be covered up to prevent the people from panicking, but small incidents did not need to be.
Therefore, a "small fry" like him had a reputation that far exceeded his own ability.
The real upper levels, those great existences who saved Nuo Jin at all times, were always unknown.

When Vincent rushed to Street 23, the sky was already close to dusk.
The red sun in the clouds dyed the sky a faint orange-yellow. The ruins on the side were illuminated and cast a large black shadow. The uneven outlines of the ruins were like the backs of some kind of giant beasts.
The yellow warning line that was hastily pulled up was a little messy. It was rustling in the wind, constantly trembling.
Dusk … It was the time of the devil.
He cautiously stopped at the entrance of the street. The street was extremely quiet, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Many things had happened in this area recently. Although he missed it because he went to receive the baptism, he still heard about the two most famous incidents.
However, those were the affairs of the big shots, and had nothing to do with him.
"I just need to do my job well … I hope that the thing that made me rush for these few days is a true evil spirit. Otherwise, I will definitely add some new tricks to the holy water formula of this person who asked for help … Phew, I can't think like that."
Vincent let out a long breath, pinched the bridge of his nose, and suppressed the inexplicable irritation that surged in his heart.
He didn't know what happened recently, but he was more irritable than usual. Some of his thoughts simply lost the benevolence and tolerance that a clergyman should have.
Even the teachings and baptism of the new great apostle couldn't calm him down.
"Perhaps after this matter is resolved, I should rest for a few days and focus on praying to the moon."
He straightened his clothes, first using a text message to contact the person who asked for help, Mr. Carl Collin, who owned a video store. Then, he knocked on the back door of the video store.
The door opened a crack, and a person with bloodshot eyes could be vaguely seen looking out. Then, the person suddenly opened the door and threw himself at Vincent.
"Oh, the moon above, Father Vincent, you are finally here! Hurry and save me! "
If it wasn't for this lump of human figure making such a sound, Vincent would have already released a divine spell.
As he pushed away this bloated and greasy lump of fat, he tried to maintain a gentle tone and said, "Shh, shh, my dear child, you don't want to alarm the evil spirit next door, do you?"
Collin hurriedly nodded and kept quiet, full of excitement. With snot and tears running down his face, he received this priest who was wearing a black priest robe. He looked a little tired, but still had a pair of solemn and trustworthy eyes.
"So, I have a general understanding of the situation. You are saying that just today, he hurt three police officers from the central police station, and even controlled the mind of another one? The holy water didn't work, and it even made him worse? "
"If what you said is true, then I need to be more prepared. We will carry out the operation tomorrow night. Today, I need to stay with you temporarily."
Collin hurriedly nodded. "No problem! If there is anything else that needs to be done, I will definitely cooperate! "
As long as you don't do anything, it will be the best cooperation.
Vincent sighed and reached out to close the door, cutting off the sound of Collin's chatter about the horror of the evil spirit. It felt good to be alone in the room.
These guys who don't know anything are really troublesome!
He touched the sweat on his forehead, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.
He exhaled the misty smoke.
