While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Cao Kun was speechless. Why are all women so gossipy?

Scarlett was like that before, and Rachel is like that too.

Weren't you looking scared just now?

Are you not afraid now?

Cao Kun was speechless.

Cao Kun wants to say that his relationship with Amanda was just a transaction.

But this is clearly detrimental to Amanda's reputation.

Therefore, he publicly acknowledged that Amanda was his girlfriend.

Cao Kun: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Rachel: "No, I was just asking. Amanda is really lucky. Since meeting you, her career has been getting better and better, and she's landed two leading roles in a row."

Cao Kun: "You're not bad either."

Rachel smiled confidently: "Yes."

Seeing her confidence, Cao Kun didn't discourage her.

This actress was already on the verge of becoming a top-tier star, but due to a wrong choice, her career plummeted.

Rachel seemed to see the deeper meaning in Cao Kun's eyes and asked, "Master Cao, do you not have faith in my career?"

Cao Kun: "How could that be? Hasn't your career always been doing very well?"

Rachel: "But I feel like you don't think I'm a good candidate."

Cao Kun: "Don't make wild guesses."

Rachel: "This isn't a guess, it's a feeling, a woman's intuition."

Cao Kun was speechless.

Are women's intuitions really that accurate?

Rachel: "I heard that Master Cao can change your luck. Can you help me change mine too?"

Cao Kun: "Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Rachel thought about it and agreed, deciding to put the matter of changing her luck aside for the time being.

After dinner, we returned to Rachel's house, and it was almost 9 p.m.

Cao Kun instructed Rachel to draw all the curtains and turn off the lights in the other rooms, leaving only the living room light on for the time being.

With a wave of his hand, a ceremonial table appeared. After Cao Kun lit the incense and candles, he told Rachel to turn off the lights in the living room.

Suddenly, only two candles remained in the room, emitting a faint light that illuminated a small area in front of the altar, while the rest of the room was pitch black.

Cao Kun hasn't lit incense or candles in a long time, and he rarely turns off all the lights.

But there was no way to summon this ghost; it was too unusual, and normal methods simply wouldn't work.

Moreover... Cao Kun glanced at Rachel.

He suspected that the ghost had developed a deep bond with Rachel.

The reason she couldn't be forcibly summoned was because of Rachel herself.

"Come here and sit down."

Cao Kun pointed to a chair in front of the judge's table.

Rachel walked over and sat down obediently.

Cao Kun took out a red rope and tied it to her wrist, while the other end was tied to a bowl made of peach wood.

Cao Kun pulled out a peach wood sword, pressed it onto the table, and a talisman stuck to the tip of the sword.

Cao Kun brandished his peach wood sword, took steps, made hand seals, and chanted incantations.

"The mysteries of heaven and earth, the thunder decree moves stealthily."

"The Soul-Capturing General travels throughout the four directions."

……

It's the same summoning spell.

But this time, the scale was even larger.

That mysterious power reverberated throughout the entire building, adding a touch of solemnity to the darkness.

"what!"

Rachel suddenly tilted her head back, her face contorted in pain, and let out a series of cries of agony.

Her face twisted and struggled, as if something was being pulled out of her body by a powerful force.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind arose, causing the candlelight on the altar to flicker and dim, as if it might go out at any moment.

The next moment, the red rope started to shake, and then snapped with a crack.

The eerie wind disappeared, the candlelight returned, and Rachel returned to normal.

The dim candlelight illuminated Rachel's face as she stared blankly at Cao Kun, asking weakly, "Master Cao, what... what's wrong with me?"

Cao Kun: "I guessed right. That ghost used you as its mental coordinate and also resided in your spiritual world."

No wonder she wouldn't come when I summoned her before.

Even the "Purifying Heaven and Earth Mantra" was useless.

Rachel didn't understand what came after that; all she knew was that the ghost had possessed her mental world.

Rachel exclaimed in surprise, "You can do that?"

Cao Kun: "The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders."

Rachel: "So what do we do now?"

Cao Kun: "We just forcibly summoned her, but this ghost is quite capable. She broke the red rope and wasn't put into the bowl."

But now that she's out, things are easier.

Take this.

Cao Kun handed Rachel a talisman.

With this talisman, the ghost can no longer enter Rachel's body.

Cao Kun turned his gaze to the darkness in front of him.

The darkness was silent, but Cao Kun knew that the thing must be hidden in the darkness.

"The mysteries of heaven and earth, the thunder decree moves stealthily."

"The Soul-Capturing General travels throughout the four directions."

……

Cao Kun began chanting the incantation once again.

The powerful force spread out again, and the candlelight grew brighter and brighter.

As the incantation to summon the soul ended, suddenly, a figure faintly appeared in the darkness before Cao Kun.

The figure was humanoid, but only a silhouette could be seen.

Its hands resembled ten sharp blades, which was extremely strange.

The light was too dim, and Cao Kun couldn't see very clearly.

"what!"

Rachel also saw the figure and was startled, so she immediately hid behind Cao Kun.

Cao Kun extended his index and middle fingers, pinched a small flame from the candle, and flicked it out: "Go."

A flame shot out and flew towards the figure.

Something magic happened.

Everything was fine at first, but when the flame reached the figure, the figure suddenly disappeared.

When the flames died down and the fire went out, the figure reappeared.

"Um?"

Cao Kun found it a bit strange.

Just now, he didn't sense the figure moving at all.

But why does its form disappear when the flame approaches and shines upon it?

Cao Kun flicked out another tiny flame.

The same scenario played out again.

Could it be it?

Cao Kun began to understand.

Cao Kun thought of a horror movie—"Lights Out".

This horror movie has a mediocre plot, but it features a very strange ghost.

This ghost can only appear in the dark; it will disappear whenever light shines on it.

Moreover, the female protagonist in the movie also encountered this ghost in the hospital.

Both of these points, just like now, can be perfectly aligned.

"If it's you, then things will be much easier."

Cao Kun had no idea what kind of ghost it was before.

But now that we know the other party's background, we have the corresponding methods to deal with them.

In the movie, this ghost is connected to the female protagonist's mother.

Its existence is also due to the female protagonist's mother.

Finally, the female protagonist's mother realized what had happened, shot herself, and the ghost disappeared.

Thinking of this, Cao Kun couldn't help but turn around, his gaze falling on Rachel behind him.

Rachel jumped, and asked anxiously, "Master Cao, what's wrong?"
