Exorcism in Los Angeles? Just talk it out!

Perhaps it was an unconscious act, or perhaps it was a subconscious memory, but Christina picked up Little White, whom Leon had forgotten in the living room, and carried him into the bedroom together...

……

……

In the bedroom, Congressman Smith remained asleep on the bed, surrounded by various instruments that monitor heart rate and brain waves.

Besides a doctor, two veteran police officers were busy checking the bedroom for toxins or chemicals from modern high-tech products.

Don't think this is fiction. More than a decade ago, many high-tech products with different toxins appeared on the market, some of which could even kill people just by coming into contact with human skin.

The most typical example is the "Fat Brother" family in the peninsula, where the eldest son died after being doused with poison in the face, dying within minutes.

"This is..." One of the police officers frowned when he saw Li Ang come in, but since he was brought in by the butler, he didn't say anything.

Mrs. Smith glanced at Li Ang and said somewhat coldly, "This is the 'doctor' my housekeeper invited from Chinatown. He is said to be an exorcist. I wanted him to give it a try and see if he could cure my husband's illness."

The old doctor, Oliver Kent, frowned. "Madam, if I may be so bold, you should have more faith in science and medicine..."

"As for this Mr. Lyon..."

"Hmph!" Oliver Kent scoffed. "If you can revive Mr. Smith using exorcism, then my medical doctorship would have been for nothing..."

Oliver Kent is nearly sixty years old and a retired doctor who had to work because of his children's student loans. He now works as a private doctor for some wealthy people and earns a high annual salary.

He shared Mrs. Smith's view that Congressman Smith was under the influence of some new drug or for some other reason, and that the idea that evil spirits could not possibly exist in the world.

Li Ang glanced at the old doctor, and was about to say something when suddenly a task popped up in front of him, which was very rare for him.

Ding!

[Task: Damaged Dao Heart]

This doctor, Oliver Kent, has never believed in evil spirits. Let him see the world of exorcists.

[Task Rewards: Starting at 100, with no upper limit; the more shattered your Dao Heart, the higher the experience points.]

[Acceptance Status: Yes/No]

Is that even a question? Of course I accepted it...

The white butler asked Li Ang in a low voice, "Master, how is Mr. Smith's condition?"

Li Ang said solemnly, "It is indeed an evil possession, and a very serious one at that."

"This evil spirit... is very powerful."

"Evil spirits? You clearly said two days ago that evil spirits don't exist in the world..."

A voice interrupted Li Ang's speech. Christina slowly walked in, staring at Li Ang with a suspicious look. "Last time at that old lady in Chinatown, you clearly said that evil spirits don't exist in the world."

Li Ang rolled his eyes at her. "I lied to her, and you believed me?"

Exorcising demons for the poor is low-paying and high-risk, so deceiving them that evil spirits don't exist is the best solution, because if they don't believe in the existence of evil spirits, they won't be so easy to come into contact with them.

But the wealthy upper class is different. Li Ang felt that making them believe in the existence of evil spirits would be more beneficial for him to expand his business...

"...?" Christina opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Li Ang walked up to Christina and took the flowers from her hands. "Thank you. I was just looking for my flowers; I forgot to bring them in."

Mrs. Smith seemed to be losing her temper. "Aren't you annoying or what? If you can't save my husband, then hurry up and do it..."

Before she could even utter the word "get lost," she froze, because the potted plant in Li Ang's hand began to tremble and slowly move its flowers.

A moving flower?

"These flowers..."

There are living plants in nature, such as the mimosa and the pitcher plant, but none of them are as lifelike as the potted plant in Li Ang's hand, as if they were living beings.

Li Ang carried Xiaobai and slowly walked around the bedroom.

In fact, Li Ang himself could roughly sense the location of the evil spirit, but since he had created a tool like Xiaobai, wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?

Oliver Kent was somewhat surprised, and also a little astonished. "What kind of new flower is this? It seems to move! If it were published in a scientific journal, it might cause a sensation in the plant world..."

"Whether it's shocking or not, we'll talk about that later..."

Li Ang interrupted him and stood in front of a full-length mirror, simply because Xiao Bai was currently circling around this mirror, indicating that it was the key.

Mrs. Smith was startled. "This mirror? Is there something wrong with this mirror?"

Li Ang nodded. "This mirror has a lot of problems. It is the source of everything. If I'm not mistaken..."

Leon turned to Mrs. Smith and asked, "Madam, was this mirror here when you bought this house?"

Mrs. Smith seemed to remember something. "The cleaning lady accidentally broke the mirror a few days ago. This is a newly replaced one. You're not suggesting that this mirror is an evil spirit, are you?"

Li Ang nodded, then said seriously, "That's right, it is the source. If I'm not mistaken, Congressman Smith's soul is hidden inside the mirror..."

"This, how is this possible?" Oliver Kent shook his head frantically. "I absolutely do not believe in evil spirits unless you prove it to me."

Li Ang looked at his system panel; he hadn't yet tried the fourth attribute he was rewarded with last time…

"Whether it's true or not, come in with me and you'll find out."

After saying this, Li Ang did something that shocked everyone: he picked up Xiaobai and jumped directly into the mirror.

"Oh no!" Dr. Oliver Kent screamed in terror, "This can't be..."

Dao Heart Shattered +1

"This must be magic, it must be magic..."

Oliver Kent, breathing heavily, cautiously walked to the mirror, stretched out a hand, and then...

He followed Li inside...

What are you all standing there for? Come on in...

Li Ang waved to the crowd from the mirror.

All they saw was Oliver Kent looking at them in horror in the mirror, then touching himself with his hand.

Christina paused for a moment, but out of professional ethics or curiosity, she was the first to follow into the mirror world.

Next came the middle-aged housekeeper, and then another veteran police officer.

In the East, given this strange situation, no Chinese person would likely go in, but here in America…

Everyone couldn't resist their curiosity and followed them inside. In the end, even Mrs. Smith, who was concerned about her husband, gritted her teeth and squeezed in as well...
