I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Following Edward's directions, Li Yuan drove around several intersections.

Soon we arrived at a straight, old road.

Edward, who was holding a map, explained that the road was called Ten Barrels Road.

In the 18th century, colonists often used a "pole" as a unit of measurement for land, with one pole being a little over 5 meters long.

This road was originally planned as a 10-pole-wide main thoroughfare.

It was the standard width used during the colonial period for passing horse-drawn carriages and oxen, allowing both sides to pass each other.

And so, the name Shigan Road has remained to this day.

It's just that the dirt road has been replaced with asphalt.

The road was lined with dense maple forests on both sides.

Occasionally, you can pass by a few churches painted milky white.

That patch of white stood out starkly against the moonlight.

It was already dark at 7 p.m.

Li Yuan unconsciously increased the car's speed.

The day's journey had left him only wanting to reach his destination as quickly as possible and resolve the matter at hand.

Fortunately, there aren't many vehicles on this road; only one car passes by occasionally.

Edward looked at the map and reminded him:

"We're almost at Harrisville village. Watch out for the road signs ahead, don't miss them."

"understood."

The car drove on for a short while, and just as Edward had said,

At a fork in the road, Li Yuan found a road sign that read "Harlesville Village".

Li Yuan looked at the road sign and secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

"We've finally arrived. Let's go ask around about Caroline's house."

After driving the car into the village, Li Yuan looked around at the surroundings.

In the city, this should be the busiest time of day.

Only a few houses here had lights on, and there wasn't a single person on the street.

After driving for a while, Li Yuan encountered a drunk man carrying a bottle of liquor on the roadside.

Li Yuan slowly brought the car to a stop, rolled down the window, and asked the drunk man:

"Hello sir, do you know where the Perrin family lives?"

Perrin is Caroline's husband's surname; American women typically take their husband's surname after marriage.

"Peren?"

The drunkard with a full beard repeated the surname Li Yuan had said in confusion, his eyes somewhat glazed.

He tilted his head back, gulped down a mouthful of wine, and shook his head, saying:

"I don't remember."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked in a different phrasing:

"Do you know which house around here is haunted?"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, the drunkard's eyes widened in surprise.

He suddenly realized and said:

"Oh! You mean that family?"

He raised his stained hand and pointed to the woods ahead of the road.

He said vaguely:

"Drive along this road, and his house will be right there through the woods."

Then the drunkard asked mysteriously:

"Are you reporters? I know some rumors."

Edward's eyes lit up at the words, and he was about to speak when Li Yuan covered his mouth.

Thank you for your help, and I hope we meet again!

Li Yuan smiled and waved to the drunk man, then started the car and drove to Perrin's house.

The drunkard wasn't lying; after Li Yuan drove through the dark woods,

Soon we saw the house.

However, there were still two cars parked on the lawn outside the house.

It was clear that there were other people visiting the Perrins household.

The light from Li Yuan's car headlights startled the people inside the house.

The male homeowner, Roger Perrin, came out with some confusion.

Two men were following behind her.

Li Yuan parked the car, got out, and greeted Roger, who looked puzzled.

"Hello Mr. Perrin, my name is Li Yuan, and I am an exorcist."

Li Yuan walked up to Perron and said:

"Lady Rose commissioned me to perform an exorcism."

At this moment, a wary-looking man behind Roger suddenly spoke up:

"Is Roger telling the truth? And who is Rose?"

"Rose is my wife's sister, Brand, he's telling the truth."

Roger explained something to the man behind him.

Then, smiling, he extended his hand to Li Yuan:

"Just call me Roger. You're from Los Angeles?"

Li Yuan also extended his hand to shake his, smiling and nodding:

"That's right, it took me a whole day to get here."

"Oh my god, you've really gone through a lot of trouble."

Roger shook hands with Li Yuan with a grateful expression.

Then Li Yuan turned to introduce Edward, who was holding a cat:

"This is my assistant, Edward."

While Edward and Roger were greeting each other,

Li Yuan glanced at another man:

"Ed Warren?"

It seems I arrived at a pretty good time today.

It just so happened that the Warrens arrived at the same time.

With a scrutinizing gaze, Ed stared at Li Yuan for a moment.

Then he walked over, reached out his hand, and said:

"Yes, that's me. You don't look like someone from the church."

Li Yuan shook hands with him and said jokingly:

"I am not a member of the church, but I exist to save those whom the church is unwilling to help."

Ed didn't take Li Yuan's teasing to heart.

He also knew how complicated and demanding the conditions for exorcism by the church were.

It was because of the Perrin family that they were unable to obtain a church exorcist license.

Left with no other choice, the Warrens decided to step in and help.

The group chatted as they walked into the house.

"So what will you use to exorcise the demon, Mr. Li Yuan?"

Ed asked curiously, "Is it voodoo or...?"

Hearing Ed's question, Li Yuan smiled mysteriously.

Then he raised his right hand and said softly:

"I will use Holy Light."

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm holy light shone from Li Yuan's fingertips.

Ed stared at the incredible scene, somewhat incredulous.

He pointed to Li Yuan's hand and said with difficulty:

"You...you said you weren't a member of the church..."

Li Yuan smiled and withdrew the holy light, saying meaningfully:

"No one stipulates that only church members can use the Holy Light."

After saying this, Li Yuan ignored Ed's shocked expression.

Without stopping, he continued walking towards the house.

The three people chatting in front of them did not notice the actions between the two.

Brand turned around and saw Ed looking dazed.

Brand reached out and gently patted his arm, asking in a low voice:

"Ed, what's wrong?"

Coming to his senses, Ed shook his head and casually said:

"It's alright, let's go inside."

Ed, who was not a professional priest, was somewhat shaken by Li Yuan's words.

He always believed that only members of the church could control this sacred power.

Roger, who had just entered the house, introduced Li Yuan and Edward to his wife.

When they learned that it was their younger sister who had paid for Li Yuan and his companion to perform the exorcism,

She was so moved that she cried.

"My God, it's Rose! We haven't seen each other for so many years."

She hugged her husband and cried, saying:

"I only mentioned the strange things happening in the house to her earlier..."

Li Yuan stopped paying attention to the crying woman.

Instead, he looked at Lorraine Warren, who was looking at him.

"Hello Mrs. Warren, I am Li Yuan, an exorcist."

"I'm glad you could come and help."

Rowling reached out and shook hands with Li Yuan, smiling as she said:

"I've heard of you. Perhaps we don't need to wait for the church's exorcist priest to arrive."

"I think so too."

Li Yuan made a joke with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Lin gave Li Yuan a brief account of the family's plight.

After the Perrin family moved into the house,

First, the dog that had been a companion to the family for a long time died inexplicably outside the house.

Then the children in the family were always bothered by unknown things.

The woman, Caroline, also had several bruises on her body.

Li Yuan nodded; he had a general impression of these plot points.

Rowling then went on to describe her team's preparations.

They installed temperature controllers and special cameras.

The appearance of evil spirits will lower the temperature.

This allows the camera to be switched on via a temperature controller, thus capturing some eerie scenes that are difficult to photograph.

They also tied bells to the handles of every door.

To facilitate tracking the movements of evil spirits.

Ed then arranged some crosses,

They tried to use them to provoke the evil spirit and make it appear.

As she spoke, Rowling suddenly turned to look at Li Yuan and asked curiously:

"Mr. Li Yuan, do you know the origin of the evil spirit in the house?"
