Exorcism in Los Angeles? Just talk it out!

As Li Ang was about to leave the apartment building, the abstinence master, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but speak up when he saw the television in Li Ang's hand.

"Benefactor Li Ang, how did you manage to capture that clown-like evil spirit using that poster in your hand...?"

Even blessed talismans didn't work. Could it be that I'm not used to the local environment? Do I need to use things from America to catch evil spirits?

Li Ang glanced at him, knowing that the term "talking nonsense" might fool others, but it wouldn't fool the abstinence master. After all, he also possessed some magical power, was a professional exorcist, and his mental strength was not low.

So in the apartment, his focus was mainly on the other three people, and he didn't waste his energy on the abstinence master, trying to convince them that the clown in the TV series was a prank by the seller.

"Well, the reason I used the Terminator poster to catch it is because..."

He initially wanted to explain that it was because he had enchanted the poster, but suddenly, Li Ang thought of something funny and explained with a serious expression...

"That's right, the surface of the poster has a layer of..."

"The reason I was able to capture it with the poster is because there was a layer of cling film on the poster."

Li Ang spouted nonsense with a straight face, "Cling film contains a kind of nitric acid sulfur oxide that can wrap up the energy molecules of evil spirits..."

"This nitric acid oxidizes sulfur, and its chemical reaction is very peculiar, possessing an extremely terrifying ability to restrain evil spirits."

The reason Li Ang was able to capture the ugly man with the poster was because he used the power of the term, the skill "calling a deer a horse".

When Li Ang said the TV was just an ordinary TV, he suddenly had a wicked thought: what would happen if he tried to fool the monk who had abstained from lust...?

Snapped!

The Buddhist prayer beads in the hands of the abstinence master broke and fell to the ground, and his stomach churned violently.

Although he knew Li Ang was talking nonsense, the Terminator poster he was holding, crumpled into a ball, and the intense malice emanating from the television screen undeniably told the Abstinence Master that the other party had indeed used this thing to capture an evil spirit.

The abstinence master felt that his career as an exorcist had received an extremely terrifying challenge.

My values ​​are crumbling...

But he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to salvage the situation. He swallowed the blood in his mouth and stammered, "But...but how could plastic wrap possibly catch an evil spirit? This thing isn't a magical artifact; it has neither magic power nor runes..."

"It's not a cross and holy water, but a blessing from the church..."

Li Ang said solemnly, "The idea that you must use magical artifacts to capture evil spirits is a prejudice of worldly people. The so-called mutual generation and restraint of all things, and the antidote within seven steps of a place where poisonous snakes appear, can also be done with ordinary materials."

"For example, isn't a yellow talisman just yellow paper with cinnabar? Isn't holy water just plain water? Aren't the cross and the prayer beads in your hand made of plant wood?"

"So plastic wrap doesn't mean it can't catch evil spirits, it just means you haven't found the right way to use it..."

puff!

The master of abstinence from pornography coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and he collapsed straight down...

"Oh, Master, Master, what's wrong with you..." Li Ang hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

……

Hmm? The entry has been upgraded?

awesome!

Li Ang blinked, a surge of joy welling up inside him. It turned out that the experience and skill he gained from fooling an honest man were in no way inferior to those of an evil spirit.

Especially exorcists like the "abstinence master"...

"What are you talking about?" Police officer Christina looked at Li Ang and the abstinence master with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand Mandarin, and Li Ang and the others hadn't been communicating in English.

"Oh, it's nothing. We should head back now. It feels much better now that the blood clots have been expelled. Take care, Master. Let's exchange experiences again sometime..."

Because there was still a strange television set around, Li Ang didn't rush to check the attribute panel. After saying goodbye to the Abstinence Master, he took the old television set and the wad of posters with him and hailed a taxi...

All that remained was the pale-faced, bewildered, and existentially questioning exorcist monk, Abstinence Monk.

"This is impossible, this is impossible..."

"Impossible—" The abstinence master ripped off a large clump of his beard.

……

After a day of work, my duty is over. Today I checked a car and went to an old lady's house for a patrol.

However, even though she hadn't done anything special, and it wasn't a particularly serious Priority 1 mission, she still felt extremely tired.

It's a kind of mental exhaustion.

I can't explain why...

"Mom, I'm fine. The patrol post that Father assigned me is near Chinatown. What danger could there be? Don't worry, the chief wouldn't send me on dangerous missions. Look, I've been doing this for almost two years and nothing's happened."

"Boyfriend? Mom, please, I'm only 21, how could I possibly get married? Don't introduce me to any of those spoiled brats, I'll find one myself..."

Christina hung up the phone wearily. After thinking for a moment, she took off her clothes, went into the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and let the warm water flow down, washing over her curvaceous, fair, and tall body.

Parents all over the world are the same; they hope their daughters will marry a good man. But Christina was born into a military family; her grandfather, father, and brother were all officers in the American army.

Christina was influenced by them for a long time and developed a strong character, which is why she signed up to become a police officer.

To keep his beloved daughter out of danger, the father used his connections to first arrange for her to patrol in a wealthy area of ​​Los Angeles. After Christina protested, she was transferred to the Chinatown area.

The Chinese community in Chinatown is not desperate; no one would call the police, so dangerous incidents are rare. Sometimes, the truth doesn't even need to be revealed once a year. This is her parents' bottom line.

Under the hot water, her skin flushed slightly, appearing delicate and fragile. Christina gently washed her tall and alluring figure with soap, recalling the events of the day.

"If my mom finds out that I fired a gun while on duty today, she'll probably be terrified and beg my dad to transfer me to another post immediately."

"Yeah, it was the right thing to not tell her..."

"Speaking of which, why did I shoot at a television set today?"

"Am I that cowardly? Just because a clown appeared on a TV that was being pranked, I was scared into shooting...shooting!??"

Wait! Shoot at the TV?

"...???"

Suddenly, Christina frowned, as if she had thought of something and was deep in thought.

"Why did I shoot at the TV? And then the bullet hit the clown on the screen, but when Leon bought it from that old lady and carried it out, the TV was perfectly fine..."

Clap!

The soap fell to the ground without warning, and Christina finally remembered what she had overlooked.

She was stunned. According to police regulations, firing a gun during duty must be reported to the dispatch center, even if there are no casualties, even if it is a television set that is shot.

However, he subconsciously ignored the police regulations that he strictly adhered to.

Looking back, when she got off work, she subconsciously asked Li Ang why he bought a second-hand, old TV with the old lady. Li Ang said he wanted to take it home, take it apart, and study it to see how the pranks were done inside.

Now she finally understood that she must have been hypnotized and subconsciously forgotten about the evil spirit.

"It's Leon? He's... an exorcist? He hypnotized me? Made me ignore and forget everything related to evil spirits?"

The thought of that ugly woman in the apartment from her memory sent a chill down Christina's spine; a sudden, unexpected fear welled up inside her...

She finally understood what had happened during the day.
