Many demon hunters lost their lives because of this incident, and several of Bob's old friends also died because of this incident... Bob is a real veteran demon hunter. Although he looks serious, he is actually a very warm-hearted person.

When he got older, he seldom hunted demons himself, but he still provided guidance to many juniors. At the same time, he was also one of the few demon hunters who would collect all kinds of monster information everywhere. When Bob was young, his family was actually very rich.

No, it should be said that Bob has always been rich.

Their family was a wealthy family many years ago, owning a lot of land and assets. But after Bob lost his wife in the accident, he had no time to manage the family property, which led to a significant reduction in the assets of Bob's family. But even so, he was still very rich.

You know, even now, he still has a foundation and several oil fields under his name. He even lives in a large manor... However, it is hard to tell that this was once a manor now, because Bob turned it into a garbage dump...

There are countless old electrical appliances and cars here.

There is no way. In the United States, there is one thing that is absolutely indispensable, and that is a car!

Almost every American adult owns a car, making the country the "country on wheels" with the largest number of cars. Cars are indispensable to American life, forming a unique car culture; the huge number of cars also generates a considerable car economy. The United States is the country with the largest number of cars per capita in the world, known as the "country on wheels". According to statistics in the 2000s, 23% of American families own three cars, and most of the remaining families own two cars, which means that there is basically one car per adult. Cars are indispensable to American life, so a unique car culture has been formed in American society. At the same time, based on the huge social car ownership, a considerable scale of automobile economy has been generated, becoming an important part of the US national economy.

For Americans, a car is not only a means of transportation, but also a way of life. If you don't have a car, it's really troublesome here. First of all, public transportation is not as developed as we think. Many young people take a driver's license test at the age of 18 (some states are different, for example, some states can take a driver's license test at the age of 16), and then drive to college by themselves. This is because if you want to take the bus, you can only go with the flow. In many places, the bus frequency is pitifully small, and you may even have to wait for a long time for a bus to come.

The United States is the third largest country in the world, with a population of just over 3 million and a high per capita income. In the United States, almost every family has a car, and every family cannot live without a car. So it is true that the United States is a country riding on wheels. It is not because Americans like to drive. Just look at the urban planning in the United States and you will know that it is really difficult to move without a car in the United States. The large cities in the United States are very large, and it feels like their cities are spread out like a pancake. There are high-rise buildings in the city center, and large tracts of villa-style buildings in the suburbs, densely packed everywhere. It takes more than ten or twenty kilometers to get from one place to another. It is impossible to walk. The most convenient way to travel is to drive. This situation is particularly obvious in Los Angeles. The city spreads out in all directions, and most of them are low-density residential buildings. The poor in the United States live in the city center, and the rich live in the suburbs. At rush hour, all the vehicles in the suburbs gather in the city center, making Los Angeles one of the five cities with the most serious traffic jams in the world. This is related to the vast land and sparse population in the United States. Rich people are unwilling to live in high-rise buildings. They only like to build low-rise small buildings to live in. A villa occupies a piece of land, and many villas have small gardens in front of them. Do you see how big the land is? One house per family. Los Angeles has a population of more than 1000 million. It is amazing if hundreds of thousands of households build villas. It is almost the size of a medium-sized city. The planning of American cities is different from that of Chinese cities. They separate commercial and residential areas. In the center of the city are business office buildings, which are places of work. After get off work, you have to drive back to your home. If you want to buy something at your doorstep, it is not as convenient as in my country where there are shops and supermarkets everywhere. The residential areas and supermarkets and commercial areas in the United States are still a certain distance away. The shortest is a few kilometers, and the farthest is more than ten kilometers. You have to go to the commercial area to buy things. If you don’t drive, do you walk?

Moreover, cars have another important function in the United States, which is identity verification!

That's right, because there is no ID card, the driver's license has become a very important proof of identity. Social security can also be used, but who would carry a social security card with them when going out? But in the United States, you almost always have to drive when you go out, so a driver's license is a must, so a driver's license has become a very important proof of identity.

But the problem is that demon hunters themselves are walking on the edge of breaking the law... Well, that's a bit of an understatement, in fact, a large number of demon hunters have a lot of criminal records. After all, demon hunters will do a lot of things that seem incredible to others.

For example, the easiest way to expel a ghost is to dig up a grave, find the ghost's body, and then burn it with salt and gasoline... But in any country in the world, digging up a grave and burning a body is a felony.

This is still considered good, like being possessed by a demon.

Basically, few humans who are possessed by demons can survive, only a very lucky few can survive.

why?

Because in order to expel the devil, the possessed person must be tortured to make the devil feel pain and leave the possessed person.

As for using spells to expel demons... come on, spells are very advanced stuff, not something that a bunch of untrained demon hunters can use. By the way, another point I want to emphasize is that human religious rituals have no effect on exorcism.

After all, those religions are man-made, and there is no real god.

The Bible is the result of a group of people getting together to discuss and it is not what God said at all... Yes, it is very counter-intuitive, right?

The Bible is an extremely important classic of Christianity, but it is not a perfect and unchanging book that came from heaven. In fact, it is a piece of various stories, teachings, prophecies and poems written by different people over a long period of time. Moreover, the version we see now is also selected by humans themselves, not directly approved by gods. The whole revision process lasted for hundreds of years and was quite long and complicated. Just like you may know the very popular "Da Vinci Code" written by Dan Brown, there is a plot in the book that says that the Bible was formulated and compiled at the Council of Nicaea in 325, with the purpose of determining the doctrines and beliefs of Christianity under the authority of Constantine I. But in fact, although this meeting was indeed held when the church was in a bit of crisis, it did not care about the canon of the Bible at all, which is completely different from what Brown wrote in the book. However, this wrong statement was quite popular when the novel first became popular, and it misled many people. The truth is, the Council of Nicaea mainly discussed the nature of the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that is, the issue of Jesus being the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit at the same time, and did not touch upon which books should be included in the Bible at all.

So who decided which books were included in the Bible? It may be a bit surprising to say that there was no one person or group of people who made the final decision. The content of the Bible (it should be noted that different denominations have different arrangements of the Bible, which is a problem in itself) has been repeatedly reviewed and revised for a very long time.

We have to know that before the invention of printing in the 15s, books were made by hand, which was very laborious and took a long time to make. Before that, the text of the Bible was written on handwritten scrolls, but unfortunately, no original manuscripts were left. From the 40st to the 1th century AD, and even earlier, church authorities and scholars argued over the scriptures. Everyone felt that their views were right, and if others disagreed, they would label them as heretics. In this long debate, whoever had a louder voice and a stronger influence was more likely to have the text they supported included in the canon. As time passed, those texts that were recognized by most people and felt to be authoritative and authentic were selected into the Bible, and the rest were eliminated. Although most of the compilation work was almost completed by the end of the 4th century AD, the controversy over the text of the Bible never stopped until the 4th century when Martin Luther published his German Bible, which was the first time that the Christian classics were translated into the local language.

So this stuff is made up by humans. It has nothing to do with God, but it is not even remotely related to God... It would be weird if you can exorcise demons with these things...

Therefore, only by making the demons feel pain will they abandon the possessed people.

Generally speaking, in such situations, the person being tortured will most likely not survive, and if he does survive, he will be severely injured and suffer long-term disabilities.

But the witcher has to do this, after all, the possessed people often cause huge casualties!

If this is not dealt with quickly, more people will be harmed in the future.

It's the trolley problem again. If you sacrifice one person, you will have to face the continuous flow of subsequent injuries.

The trolley paradox, also known as the trolley problem, is one of the most famous thought experiments in the field of ethics. The experiment goes like this. Let's say a madman tied five civilians, that is, five innocent people, to the trolley track. You drive a trolley over and are about to run over the five people. However, as a driver, you can choose to pull the lever to let the trolley change tracks and switch to another track, where only one person is tied. Faced with this situation, what would you choose? Pull the lever or not? The result is that no matter what choice you make, you will be questioned and criticized, and even labeled as "immoral". In fact, the above trolley problem is often used to criticize utilitarianism in ethical philosophy. The utilitarian view holds that most decisions should be based on the basic principle of "providing benefits to the most people." Then, according to utilitarianism, it is obvious that you should pull the lever to switch tracks, so that only one person will be crushed to death, not five people. But once you pull the lever, you will become an immoral person: you need to be responsible for the death of one person, because this person should not have died. But if you choose to do nothing and not pull the lever to switch tracks, you will also be branded as immoral. In short, no matter what you choose, there is no completely moral behavior. At the same time, there are many versions of the trolley problem. For example, if you are one of the five people tied to the track, or if you are the person on another track, what choice will you make at this time? From a psychological perspective, most people may think that the track should be switched, that is, from a utilitarian perspective, sacrificing the minority to preserve the majority.

This is actually very unreasonable, because no one can guarantee that they are not one of the "few people". It can even be said that because everyone is an individual, there will always be some aspects that are obviously not in line with the mainstream, so individual interests are absolutely impossible to completely overlap with collective interests. This also leads to the concept of right and wrong. What is right and what is wrong?

Of course, this is ultimately a philosophical question.

Demon hunters basically don't consider philosophy. They are more pragmatic. Kill one and save more people. There is no need to choose at all.

Therefore, any demon hunter who has handled too many cases is basically a madman and a cremator. A complete sociopath... After all, ordinary people don't understand demons or ghosts.

Therefore, the demon hunter must keep his identity secret, but a car for travel is necessary.

As a result, stealing cars, forging certificates and changing cars at any time became a necessity.

Bob is the largest supplier of these items in the circle. In addition, demon hunting also requires various instruments and weapons, which also require raw materials to make.

So Bob's manor became a huge garbage dump. These garbage are treasures. Bob can use them to "manufacture" vehicles, weapons and all kinds of strange things anytime and anywhere.

It is only because Bob has a wealthy family that he can continue to do this business. Most people really cannot afford it.

But with his old friends disappearing one after another recently, Bob finally couldn't sit still anymore... Although it is basically impossible for a demon hunter to have a good end, since they are his friends, Bob can't just sit back and watch.

So he came out again.

Then he found that things had become extremely serious.

They encountered a kind of ghost they had never seen before!

Simply put, these ghosts are people who have been harmed by the witcher... They are obviously ghosts, but the methods used to deal with ghosts are useless to them!

You know, most demon hunters would not choose burial, they would choose cremation, whether it is for themselves or their relatives and friends, because they know that if a person is buried after death, he may become a ghost, but if he is burned, it will be over.

But many of those special ghosts have actually been cremated.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't become ghosts!

What’s even more terrifying is that the methods used to deal with ghosts in the past are completely useless against these returning undead spirits!
