Exorcism in Los Angeles? Just talk it out!

"Huh, it's back to life again? There's definitely something wrong with this TV."

At home...

I was sleeping in the middle of the night when the faucet suddenly started dripping water, the lights flickered uncontrollably, and the TV turned on automatically even though it wasn't plugged in.

The white petals and leaves began to tremble on their own, even without any wind...

The hissing sound of the television woke him up.

The voice of that strange man with the iron hook appeared out of nowhere in the house...

Hehehehe...

Looking at the flickering static on the old television and then at the poster he had burned to ashes, Li Ang immediately realized that the Iron Hook Monster was about to be resurrected.

Originally, he sealed the Hook Man inside the poster and burned him to death, but Li Ang felt that the other party might be resurrected in the TV, because he always felt that the Hook Man was a bit like Freddy Krueger from the movie.

This is a malevolent spirit, the kind that can't be killed.

"So it was a spirit. I guessed right..."

Hehehe...

On the television, the Iron Hook Monster grinned as it slowly reformed its body, then stared intently at Li Ang…

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped; clearly, it was about to cause trouble again.

Li Ang looked at the iron hook monster with a bit of annoyance. It had clearly been trapped in the poster by his use of the power of the term, then burned to ashes and flushed down the toilet...

Although it is unknown who revived it.

But Li Ang realized that this strange man with the iron hook was not an ordinary evil spirit, but an urban legend, that is... a haunting spirit.

Ghosts, also known as urban legends, such as Bloody Mary, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the Dead 13 bus stop, are things that cannot be destroyed as long as someone remembers them. Even if they are destroyed, they will be reborn. They can only be sealed away.

It is also one of the most troublesome types of evil spirits.

Li Ang muttered to himself, "Looks like a spirit. Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever seen one in my life..."

"Nonsense, everyone's seen this before."

With a furious roar, Li Zhanyuan, dressed in his pajamas, rushed in, carrying a peach wood sword and a treasure chest.

"Hey old man, you're still awake?"

"You brat, the evil aura is so strong, I can smell it from several streets away. Am I old or blind?"

"If I didn't come over, how could I sleep?"

Li Zhanyuan, cursing, took out yellow talismans from the box and quickly pasted them around the television. Then he placed a Buddha statue, took out an ink line and red thread...

Li Zhanyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing the flickering television screen turn back into static.

Li Zhanyuan cursed, "How could you bring a ghost home like that? You're really something..."

Li Ang coughed. "Cough cough, it was an accident, an accident. We can't just watch the citizens die."

"So you're hoping this old man dies?"

Before Li Zhanyuan could finish speaking, the yellow talisman on the television set began to burn fiercely, and the television set started to automatically display images again. The static began to transform into a strange, laughing iron hook. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used red thread and ink to wrap the television set around and around...

Li Ang laughed and said, "See? I told you long ago that times have changed, and exorcism also needs to keep up with the times. You didn't believe me."

Li Zhanyuan angrily said, "You brat, what are you gloating about? Come and help me now!"

"If we don't hurry, the evil spirit inside will come out..."

Li Zhanyuan hurriedly dipped a red ink line into cinnabar and frantically began sealing the television.

Although he is over seventy years old, he has not forgotten the methods of exorcism.

Instead of helping, Li Ang circled the television, thoughtfully stroking his chin. "Old man," he said, "you tell me... why did it come back to life after I destroyed it with the poster during the day?"

Li Zhanyuan cursed, "Nonsense, evil spirits can't be killed... they can only be sealed."

"Isn't it obvious? This television set was a tool used by a master in the past to seal it away..."

"If that's the case, then why didn't it emerge earlier or later, but instead broke the seal at this very moment...?"

As the Iron Hook Monster reassembled from the static on the television screen, a time portal began to appear on the screen, and the Iron Hook Monster walked toward the exit with a grotesque laugh.

Frost began to form inside the room...

The realm of evil spirits has begun to appear.

Li Zhanyuan said nervously, trembling, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and bring Xiao Hei up from downstairs to kill it and get its blood."

Li Ang slapped his thigh, "That's right, I know..."

He strode forward, and to Li Zhanyuan's bewildered look, shoved the television plug into the power strip, turning it on...

The time-space window that had appeared on the TV screen suddenly reverted to a 2D image. The Iron Hook Monster's face immediately darkened, and he stared at the grandfather and grandson with a sinister look.

The television went silent again, and the frost on the ground disappeared.

"W-what's going on?" Li Zhanyuan was a little confused.

Li Ang clapped his hands. "It's simple. If I'm not mistaken, this evil spirit was sealed inside a television set by an exorcist many years ago..."

"Later, he may have passed away without leaving any explanation. His descendants, unaware of the situation, sold the television as a second-hand item. The second-hand shop owner was then severely troubled and had to sell it at a reduced price. An elderly woman, looking for a bargain, bought it and took it home."

"Then, because of the aging of the internal parts, it broke free and turned on automatically at night, switching tables and affecting the surrounding lights and dripping water from the faucets, to scare the old lady."

"Finally, the old lady, fed up and tormented, unplugged the TV..."

Li Zhanyuan immediately understood his grandson's meaning, and exclaimed in realization, "You mean, the seal can only be maintained if the television is plugged in?"

Li Ang nodded. "That's right, that's exactly it. When I got there, the old lady had unplugged it a long time ago. It just happened to break free and when I plugged it back in, it was sealed inside the TV."

"I see." Li Zhanyuan nodded, then shook his head uneasy. "No, it's still not safe. I'll add more seals."

After saying that, he took out the ink line and began to tamper with the television.

Then he put up a picture of the Three Pure Ones in the room, but Li Ang stopped him the next second.

"Hey, no need for this. This is American. It's not used to the local environment. Only local stickers can tame it..." He directly pulled out a Terminator sticker and stuck it on the wall, facing the TV.

Li Zhanyuan's lips twitched. "Whatever you want. I'm warning you, get rid of this weird thing as soon as possible. I can't sleep when I see it."

"Don't worry, old man."

Li Ang said, "Tomorrow when I go to work, I'll go and find out which church can perform exorcisms, give it to them, and put it in the church..."

"That's good..." Li Zhanyuan stood up and stretched his aching back. "I suffered so much, getting up in the middle of the night, you almost scared me to death..."

After Li Zhanyuan left, Li Ang chuckled, removed the red ink line tangled in the TV, wiped it clean, and lightened the seal on the Iron Hook Monster, but did not unplug the TV.

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature, Li Ang shivered. "Awesome, I can save on air conditioning costs..."

Then, smiling, he looked at the monstrous iron hook on the TV screen, which was staring at him with venomous intent. "Stop looking, buddy. From now on, you'll be my air conditioner. There's no way I'll let you out. There's no way I'll let you out in this lifetime..."

Spirit?

No, no, no, that's wool that can grow back after being cut.

Once it's fattened up a bit, Li Ang can kill it again, and then it'll become a continuous source of dairy cows, right?

Li Angzhen felt proud of his great intelligence.

"Sleep, sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow..." Li Ang yawned, used the power of the entry to call a deer a horse and pointed at the Terminator poster for a while, making it act as an image of Jesus, and then fell into a deep sleep.
