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

"Splash—"

The sound of Drew pulling the curtains interrupted Li Yuan's thoughts.

When he came to his senses, he found that the room had become very dimly lit.

Only the candles around the round table emitted a faint light.

Li Yuan looked at the Warrens and saw that they were already seated at the round table.

He slowly closed his eyes, officially beginning the spirit communication ritual.

In an instant, before Li Yuan even realized it, Luo Lin had successfully communicated with the spirits.

The soul left the body and entered the spirit world.

She slowly opened her eyes, got up, and looked around.

In the spirit world, time seemed to have been paused, and everything was eerily quiet.

Ed beside him, and the others at the round table,

They all sat motionless in their chairs with their eyes closed, like statues.

Li Yuan, standing in the distance, also seemed frozen in place.

A hint of doubt remained on his face as he remained motionless.

Rowling felt a little more at ease; being skilled in psychic abilities, she was already used to the spirit world.

But her fear of demons still made her somewhat worried.

However, in order to help the police convict Ronald Jr.,

Rowling could only suppress her fear and slowly begin to survey the house.

Deep down, she still believed in Li Yuan's judgment.

Rowling took a deep breath, slowly walked up the stairs, and headed towards the master bedroom.

A moment later, she saw the earthbound spirit that Li Yuan had mentioned.

The lingering spirits of the original homeowners, Mr. and Mrs. Defoe, sat blankly on the bed.

He was muttering something under his breath, but his voice was too indistinct to be heard.

Just as Rowling was about to step forward to investigate,

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in my ears, repeating itself over and over:

"Shoot them...shoot them..."

In an instant, Rowling's consciousness was forcibly pulled away.

We enter the perspective of Ronald Jr., the murderer who killed his entire family that night.

Her eyes instantly turned sinister.

They stared intently at the Deaf couple, who had already become earthbound spirits.

Then, she slowly raised her empty hands.

He struck a pose as if raising a gun and pulling the trigger, his expression blank.

"Bang--!"

A piercing gunshot echoed through the spirit world where Rowling was!

The woman, who had transformed into a bound spirit, instantly collapsed onto the bed and became motionless.

She then fired another shot at the male homeowner.

The pair of earthbound spirits on the bed instantly transformed into the same forms they had when they were killed that night.

He collapsed onto the bed, stained with blood.

Rowling slowly walked out of the master bedroom, her face expressionless.

The figure reflected in the hallway mirror at that moment

He's actually become Ronald Defoe Jr.!

However, Rowling was completely unaware of this at the time.

She walked off to the next bedroom on her own.

They continued to repeat what Ronaldinho had done that night.

Until she went into the last bedroom,

He shot and killed the Defoe family's sleeping youngest daughter.

After a gunshot rang out, Rowling's eyes widened in shock.

Her mental defenses crumbled.

In an instant, Rowling severed her empathic connection with Ronald Jr.

The image of her personally "killing" the little girl was like a sharp knife piercing Rowling's heart.

As a mother, she was instantly overwhelmed by a deep sense of guilt, clutching her chest and struggling to breathe.

In the real world,

Seeing that Rowling seemed a little emotionally unstable, Ed quickly called out softly beside her:

"Honey, are you alright? What did you see?"

However, Rowling was just panting heavily and couldn't open her eyes at all.

Having no other options, Ed turned his attention to Li Yuan, hoping that he could help Rowling.

But Li Yuan just frowned, shook his head, and said:

"I can't help it, I can't enter the spirit world."

The spirit world belongs to another spiritual dimension, and is extremely special.

Only a select few with the ability to see ghosts and other extraordinary talents can freely travel through it.

This does not include Li Yuan for the time being. Although he has high mental strength, can exorcise demons, and has the means to go to hell, he is not included in this discussion.

However, I haven't learned how to enter the spirit world.

In the spirit world, Rowling, her face filled with sorrow, staggered backward.

Then he leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down.

The hallucinations caused by the grief of losing her daughter to tear at Rowling's heart.

This made her burst into tears.

Suddenly, a little boy appeared behind a door.

Seeing this, Rowling suppressed her pain and fear, struggled to her feet, and quickly walked towards the little boy.

She had a vague feeling that this boy could tell her something.

But the little boy ran all the way to the first floor and then disappeared.

Back on the first floor, Rowling finally found the boy's trail at the basement entrance.

She ignored Ed's calls and insisted on chasing after him.

"Lowling! It's time to end this, come back!"

Hearing Ed's call, Rowling in the real world managed to utter a single sentence with difficulty:

"It wants me to see..."

In the spirit world, Rowling quickly followed the boy's footsteps.

Wandering through the cluttered basement.

But in the blink of an eye, the boy's figure disappeared.

Rowling paced around in place, anxiously searching.

The four dead children of the Defoe family suddenly appeared behind Rowling!

As Rowling turned around, she was immediately startled by the bizarre scene before her eyes widened in shock.

However, it seems that Rowling's guess was indeed correct.

These earthbound spirits really didn't want to hurt her.

They all turned their heads and looked behind Rowling.

Rowling slowly turned around and saw what appeared to be a mirror hidden under a dusty white cloth.

When she turned around, the four children seemed to have completed their mission, and their figures had disappeared.

The cluttered, dark basement fell silent once more.

Rowling slowly walked to the mirror and yanked off the white cloth covering it.

After a cloud of dust cleared, Rowling realized that it seemed to be just an ordinary mirror, nothing special.

Just as she relaxed and was preparing to leave,

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse in the mirror of a mysterious hooded figure slowly emerging from behind her.

Rowling turned her head and looked around, only to find herself in a pitch-black basement.

There was no one there.

The next moment, when she turned around and looked in the mirror,

A pale-faced figure with yellowish eyes, dressed in a black nun's robe.

He stood upright behind Rowling, watching her!

Rowling was startled and turned around abruptly.

But there was still nothing behind him.

The oppressive feeling of something terrifying approaching from behind made Rowling's breathing quicken.

She took a deep breath and turned back around.

That pale, terrifying face suddenly appeared before Rowling.

Before she could even let out a scream of fright,

The nun stretched out her hands and grabbed Rowling by the throat!

Rowling struggled fiercely, trying to break free of her restraints.

The next moment, she was shocked to discover that what was gripping her throat was actually her own hands!

"What on earth is going on?! What just happened?"

Just when she thought it was all an illusion and the danger was over.

With a loud bang, the chairs piled up in the corner of the basement suddenly exploded!

Rowling looked up and saw only darkness.

A figure strikingly similar to Ed appeared in the basement.

Before Rowling could speak,

With a "thud," a sharp wooden stake pierced right through Ed!

Rowling was so frightened that she immediately let out a scream.

Her worry for Ed caused her to withdraw from the spirit world in terror.

"ah--!"

Even J.K. Rowling in real life let out a scream!

Ed quickly grabbed Rowling's shoulders and called out loudly:

"Rowling! Rowling!"

At that moment, Drew, the assistant, also quickly got up and drew back the curtains.

As a ray of sunlight shone into the room, Rowling finally opened her eyes.

"Oh my god..."

Rowling gasped, panting as she looked at Ed and hugged him tightly.

Li Yuan shook his head, sighing inwardly:

"It seems Rowling is still being entangled with Valack."
