I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!
Chapter 131 Ocean Avenue 112
After waving to Ed, Li Yuan opened the car door and got in.
Inside the car, Luo Lin smiled and looked at Li Yuan, greeting him warmly:
"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Li Yuan."
"Haha, I just happened to be in New York too."
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head.
Seeing the worry on Rowling's face, he gently comforted her:
"Don't worry, maybe it's not the work of demons."
"I hope so."
Seeing Rowling's troubled expression,
Li Yuan couldn't help but recall the cases that the Warrens had handled in the past.
Before dealing with the Perrin family's haunting case,
She and Ed took on a case involving Maurice, a French-Canadian farmer who was possessed.
A demon has left a mark on Maurice and is controlling him to commit murder.
During the exorcism performed when the Warrens arrived,
However, they are constantly harassed by unknown and powerful demons.
Rowling even used her psychic abilities to foresee a terrifying future.
From that moment on, Rowling was relentlessly haunted by this demon, casting a shadow over all subsequent events.
The one who started all of this was the ghost nun Valak.
At Perrin's house, Li Yuan helped resolve the issue with Basshiba.
Preventing Annabelle from being released helped relieve some of the pressure on the Warrens.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan asked with a smile:
"So, where are we headed today?"
Ed, who was driving, spoke up and gave his destination:
"Amityville, 112 Ocean Avenue, about an hour's drive away."
At this point, Rowling spoke up and took over the conversation.
He then explained the details of the case to Li Yuan.
Two years ago, a horrific murder occurred at 112 Ocean Avenue.
The murderer was the eldest son of the family, Ronald Defoe Jr.
In the early hours of the morning, he used a shotgun to kill his parents and four younger siblings.
But after being arrested by the police, he kept claiming that...
He was controlled by a demon and did not intend to kill his family.
Seeing his confident demeanor, the police had no choice but to ask the church for help to determine if there was any demonic interference.
But the church didn't bother with it.
In the end, they had no choice but to ask psychics like the Warrens to take over the case.
After listening, Li Yuan chuckled and retorted:
"This fits my stereotype of the church."
Ed felt a little uncomfortable listening to Li Yuan's teasing, but he didn't have much to say in his defense.
It is common knowledge that the church system is bloated and inefficient.
In recent years, various sex scandals and power-money transactions have frequently occurred.
This has led to a year-on-year decline in the church's credibility.
Rowling glanced at her husband's somewhat displeased expression and changed the subject, saying:
"Is Mr. Li Yuan here in New York on a commission?"
"There are no commissions this time."
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, then joked:
"I just came here to get a meal."
Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in my ear:
[Ding! Attendant Edward has eliminated an F-rank vengeful spirit. Host has gained 2 Holy Light Points and 10 Experience Points!]
The sudden notification sound startled Li Yuan.
The next instant, his phone rang.
Li Yuan silently picked it up and put it away.
Sure enough, Edward's excited shouts immediately came from inside:
"Li Yuan! Do you know what? I've completed another commission! That vengeful ghost was absolutely terrifying..."
Five minutes later, Edward's excitement subsided, and he asked in confusion:
"Feed? Li Yuan, are you listening?"
Li Yuan brought the phone back to his ear and said with a smile:
"I'm listening, you did a great job."
After receiving praise from Li Yuan, Edward happily said:
"I think I can try it at home!"
Li Yuan covered his forehead and said speechlessly:
"You should calm down. If you want to resolve your family issues, I can go back with you sometime."
Somewhat worried that Edward might become complacent and underestimate danger due to his growing power, Li Yuan reminded him again:
"If you have any new commissions, discuss them with Raphael. He will let you know if it's a good idea."
"Okay, I understand."
Edward muttered something under his breath and hung up the phone.
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head.
I don't know if this guy even listened to me.
Rowling smiled gently and said softly:
"Your assistant is quite cute."
Li Yuan tucked his phone into his pocket and said with a hint of helplessness:
"I'll be thankful as long as he doesn't do anything stupid."
During the relaxed conversation, the two cars arrived quickly.
Located at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville.
Ed parked the car steadily in front of the house.
Li Yuan noticed that several cars were already parked on the lawn in front of the house.
Seeing the puzzled look on Li Yuan's face, Luo Lin smiled and explained:
"This house is currently inhabited."
"Wow, the person who bought this place is really bold."
Li Yuan sighed as he got out of the car.
At this moment, Drew, the Warrens' assistant, got out of the back car.
He greeted Li Yuan warmly.
"Master Li Yuan, it's a pleasure to see you again."
Li Yuan smiled and nodded at him.
It's clear that Drew no longer considers him a fraud.
Rowling smiled and glanced at her assistant, then said to Li Yuan:
"It's probably because it was sold cheaply; the house is still quite beautiful."
Li Yuan slowly raised his head, looked at the house where the murder had occurred, and said softly:
"It's actually pretty good."
This house is built by the water and has a classic American suburban style.
The entire structure is painted white, with a wraparound porch at the bottom.
It has three stories and a double-folded roof.
The overall atmosphere is clean and cozy.
Li Yuan stood by the car and looked at the house for a while.
However, nothing unusual was found.
He planned to wait until he entered the house.
Use the [Sense Evil Creatures] skill to investigate.
As the group entered the house,
The homeowner, Lutz, and New York Police Department Special Envoy Duff were already waiting there.
Everyone stood up to greet the Warrens.
"We've been waiting for you!"
Duff smiled and shook hands with the Warrens to welcome them.
Rowling and Duff shook hands and introduced Li Yuan to him:
"I even specially invited Mr. Li Yuan, a well-known exorcist from Los Angeles."
Duff's eyes lit up; he clearly knew of Li Yuan's name.
"Hello, Mr. Li Yuan, thank you for your help this time."
After Li Yuan shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with him,
Everyone started helping the Warrens set up the various equipment.
Li Yuan then walked to the side and asked Luo Lin:
"Should I check the room for you now to see if it's safe?"
"That would be wonderful. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li Yuan."
Li Yuan nodded, closed his eyes, and instantly activated [Sensing Evil Creatures]!
The instant the skill was successfully released, Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes!
The scene before my eyes suddenly became distorted and illusory.
Li Yuan felt as if he were wearing tinted glasses.
The entire world turned into a single pale yellow hue.
The skill's duration was only 30 seconds, so Li Yuan dared not waste any more time.
He quickly scanned the area in each room.
Just as he looked towards the bedroom, he was shocked to discover several wisps of remnant souls.
They are repeating in the room what happened when they died.
Li Yuan then turned his attention to the basement, where accidents frequently occurred.
But when they arrived, they found there was nothing there.
As Li Yuan scanned the entire room, the skill effect quickly ended.
Li Yuan blinked, and the world in front of him returned to normal.
He turned to look at Rowling and said in a low voice:
"No trace of demons was found, only a few earthbound spirits."
As he spoke, Li Yuan chuckled and shook his head:
"It's not even a true earthbound spirit; it's more like the lingering attachment of the deceased."
Upon hearing this, Rowling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Li Yuan, thanking him.
"Thank you so much. Leave the rest to me."
Rowling slowly walked to the round table and sat down.
The group then sat down together, preparing to begin the psychic communication.
Li Yuan stood aside without participating, muttering to himself, full of doubt:
Where is Valak? Why can't I find it?
