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

These figures were all young women.

These are the people who have died at the hands of the landlord brothers over the years.

They all became sacrifices to the monster, and after death they turned into ghosts, lingering here, unable to leave.

Because the landlord brothers had killed too many people and possessed too much malevolent energy, they couldn't even take revenge.

They can only show up occasionally to remind new tenants to leave as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, most of the tenants didn't take it seriously, and in the end, like them, their bodies became sacrifices, and their souls lingered there.

I thought I would be trapped here forever, but now, because of this man, everything has changed.

They sensed a mysterious power within this space.

Once this power was bestowed upon them, they immediately knew what it meant to them.

They looked at Cao Kun with delight and gratitude.

Some people even knelt down and kowtowed to Cao Kun.

"The Demon King bows his head, and guards my palace."

"The evil and filth will dissipate, and the Dao's Qi will endure."

As the last incantation fell, they all vanished into thin air.

As they parted, they waved to Cao Kun repeatedly to express their gratitude.

"Ding! You have successfully pacified a G-level deceased soul and gained 100 merit points."

"Ding! You have successfully pacified a G-level deceased soul and gained 100 merit points."

……

The sounds rang out continuously, but they were all the same.

These souls are too weak; they only have 100 merit points each.

No wonder they've been unable to take revenge.

They could only watch helplessly as the landlord brothers continued their killing spree.

Just after the ritual to guide these departed souls to the afterlife, Cao Kun saw Carlos carrying his niece as they walked up from the basement, both covered in sweat.

"Master Cao, quickly check on my niece, why can't I wake her up?"

"Don't rush, put her on the ground." Cao Kun walked over.

Carlos quickly placed Ambar on the ground, and Cao Kun stepped forward to check on her, saying, "It's alright, she'll wake up on her own in a little while."

Anbar's consciousness was simply forcibly trapped in a certain place by the monster in the stone box.

Now, the stone box has been sealed by Cao Kun, and it won't be long before he wakes up.

Cao Kun could, of course, use talismans to quickly awaken her.

But that would waste a talisman, and Cao Kun felt it was best to save money where possible.

Carlos was relieved to hear that his niece was alright.

Cao Kun: "Carlos, we must call the police now. Many people have died here. Otherwise, when the police investigate you, you won't be able to explain yourselves."

Carlos, realizing the seriousness of the situation, no longer objected.

Cao Kun took out his phone and called Sheriff Ford: "Sheriff Ford, how about I give you a reward?"

"Another achievement?" Sheriff Ford was stunned. He hadn't even fully digested the previous two achievements yet.

Then he became expectant again: "What achievement?"

Cao Kun: "Someone used the pretext of renting a room to kill many young girls, no fewer than thirty."

Sheriff Ford's breathing immediately became heavy, and he said with utmost seriousness, "Master Cao, please tell me the address."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun said to Carlos, "You should know what happened here, right?"

Carlos said with lingering fear, "Yes, those two landlords have been hunting down their tenants. If it weren't for you, Master Cao, Anbar would already be dead at their hands."

Cao Kun nodded: "The police will be here to handle this matter later. Just tell them the truth."

but……"

Cao Kun's tone turned serious: "Don't reveal anything about that stone box. When Anbar wakes up, tell her not to say anything either, because it concerns her life."

Upon hearing that it concerned his niece's life, Carlos hurriedly said, "What stone box? I haven't seen it at all."

Cao Kun smiled.

No wonder he was able to become the leader of a construction team; he's very good at interpersonal relationships.

Actually, it wouldn't matter even if he said it.

When the matter reached Sheriff Ford, he was able to make the stone box "disappear" without anyone noticing.

On one side was an unidentified stone box, and on the other side were the constant stream of commendations.

Choosing couldn't be easier.

Moreover, making the wrong choice could offend a powerful exorcist.

Unless Sheriff Ford is extremely foolish, he wouldn't do something so irrational.

Sure enough, about twenty minutes later, Anbar's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly woke up.

As soon as she regained consciousness, she immediately pushed herself up and sat up.

Upon seeing Carlos, she looked somewhat bewildered: "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that Anbar had indeed woken up and didn't seem to be in any danger, Carlos finally felt relieved and hurriedly said, "I came over immediately after receiving your call."

"Come, let me introduce you to Master Cao. It's all thanks to him that you survived."

Carlos introduced Cao Kun to Anbar and explained what had happened. Anbar quickly thanked Cao Kun.

Then, following Cao Kun's instructions, Carlos told Anbar not to mention the stone box.

Hearing that it involved his own safety, Anbar readily agreed.

Half an hour later, Sheriff Ford finally arrived.

Accompanying him were Laura and Kane, whom he had met before.

After the three men politely greeted Cao Kun, Sheriff Ford looked at the two landlord brothers who were lying unconscious on the ground: "Were they the ones who killed so many people?"

Cao Kun: "Not bad."

Sheriff Ford gestured, and Laura and Kane immediately handcuffed the two landlord brothers.

Sheriff Ford looked around: "Where's the body?"

Cao Kun: "It should be inside this apartment building. You can look around."

Sheriff Ford believed Cao Kun's words without a doubt.

However, he asked cautiously, "Is there no danger here anymore?"

He couldn't help but be careful; the fact that Master Cao was here must mean something.

Cao Kun: "Not now."

Relieved, Sheriff Ford sent Laura and Kane out to search for the body.

Cao Kun reminded him, "Pay close attention to the basement space."

After Laura and Kane agreed, they went their separate ways to search.

Sheriff Ford personally took a statement from Cao Kun.

After learning the general outline of the incident from Cao Kun, he took a statement from Carlos and his nephew.

Before the statement was even taken, a gasp came from the basement.

Then, Laura rushed up: "Sheriff, we've found the place where the body was buried."

Cao Kun followed them down to take a look.

It turns out that there was another door right next to the room where the sacrifice was held.

The door opened, revealing a tool shed.

The tool room used to have several tool racks, but they have now been moved to the side, revealing another door.

At this moment, the door had been opened, and a foul stench was wafting out from it.

Cao Kun covered his mouth and nose, walked over and saw a room full of corpses.

Most of these remains have turned into skeletons, while others still retain some flesh and blood.

Even worse, some of them had been dead for only a short time, yet their bodies were still teeming with maggots.

These skeletons have one thing in common—none of them have heads.

Carlos and Ambal only glanced at it before rushing to the side and vomiting.

They felt a little better after vomiting until there was nothing left to vomit.

Immediately, his eyes were filled with even more gratitude as he looked at Cao Kun.

If it weren't for Cao Kun, Carlos would have been one of those corpses too.

Leaving the basement, the group immediately felt that breathing fresh air was a blissful experience.

"So many bodies again." Sheriff Ford's expression was complicated. "We also dug up more than a dozen bodies around that ranch."

Cao Kun was in a hurry to go back and check the stone box, so he casually tore off the talisman from the thin landlord's forehead: "You can handle this. I'm leaving now."

"I'll see you off." Sheriff Ford helped Cao Kun into the car and asked, "Is there anything you need to keep secret?"

Cao Kun secretly praised the other party for being sensible and said with a smile, "Let me see the statements of those two murderers later."

"Okay," Sheriff Ford readily agreed.

Back home, Cao Kun moved the stone box to the basement.

He tore off the sealing talisman and said, "Come out."

The stone box did not react.

Cao Kun's face darkened, and he said coldly, "If you don't come out now, you'll never have to come out again. You know I can do it."

Upon hearing this, the lid of the stone box slowly began to rotate.
