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

The moment he heard the name, Li Yuan thought of the woman who looked familiar to him.

"Oh! I remember now, Dalia, is something the matter?"

Dalia said to Li Yuan in a nervous tone:

"I...I think I've encountered an evil spirit..."

With some suspicions in his mind, Li Yuan slowed down his speech and gently reassured her:

"Don't rush, tell me your address first, and then slowly tell me your experience."

The woman on the other end of the phone took a few deep breaths.

After calming down, she slowly recounted her experience.

It turns out that Dalia is a divorced single mother.

She recently divorced her husband because he cheated on her during their marriage.

Due to financial difficulties, Dalia had no choice but to move with her daughter.

In an inexpensive, old apartment on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan, New York.

But strange things started happening just a few days after they moved in.

A large black patch appeared on the ceiling of my house for no apparent reason.

From the uninhabited rooms upstairs, the sounds of children running and jumping could be heard from time to time.

The entire apartment smelled musty.

"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have thought about it that way."

Dalia swallowed hard and said nervously:

"But just this afternoon, when I was doing laundry, a ghost face appeared in the washing machine!"

Dalia, fearing Li Yuan wouldn't believe her, specifically emphasized one more thing:

"My God, I swear that wasn't a hallucination!"

"Your feeling is right, Dalia, I believe you."

As he spoke, Li Yuan offered his advice:

"I'll be there soon. If you're really scared, you can take your daughter downstairs and wait for me."

"Okay, Mr. Li Yuan, I'll be waiting for you downstairs!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan said to Bruce in front of him:

"Speed ​​up, we're in a hurry."

Bruce smiled and said respectfully:

"No problem, sir. Please fasten your seatbelt."

Then, with a throttle input, the car shot off with a whoosh!

After regaining his balance, Li Yuan recalled Dalia's account of her ordeal.

He finally remembered which movie this woman was from.

However, the vengeful spirit in this movie is not powerful.

All he can do is bully children and the mentally unstable Dalia.

Two hours later, it was already midnight.

Dalia held her daughter Ceci anxiously on the first floor of the apartment, waiting for Li Yuan to arrive.

In the duty room next door,

The apartment manager said to Dalia, somewhat impatiently:

"Ms. Dalia, it's very late. You should go back and rest. It was just an illusion."

Dalia glared at the administrator and said stubbornly:

"I believe I'm not mistaken, there's something wrong with this house."

The apartment manager hesitated, as if he wanted to say something more,

A black, extended Lincoln slowly pulled up in front of the apartment building.

The driver quickly got out of the car and respectfully opened the back door.

Immediately afterwards, a young Asian man in a suit and tie got out of the back seat.

Dalia looked at the man with some surprise.

He muttered incredulously:

"Is...this really the exorcist from yesterday?"

The apartment manager glanced back and forth between Dalia and the man outside the apartment without saying a word.

"Bruce, thank you for your hard work."

As Li Yuan stepped out of the car, he smiled and said to Bruce:

"You'll have to wait here for a while."

"No problem, Mr. Li Yuan."

Bruce bowed and said:

"At your service anytime."

Li Yuan nodded and walked towards Dalia and her daughter in the apartment.

After pushing open the glass door of the apartment, Li Yuan said to Dalia, who was somewhat stunned:

"Dalia, take me to your room."

"Oh... okay!"

Dalia only came to her senses after hearing Li Yuan's voice.

She nodded hastily, then pulled her daughter toward the elevator.

Seeing Li Yuan follow Dalia, the apartment manager also got up and followed.

Having never seen an exorcist before, he wanted to see how exorcists performed their exorcisms.

But when his gaze fell upon the exorcist in the suit and tie,

But suddenly, he felt a faint pressure coming from him.

This feeling made him involuntarily feel a sense of fear towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't notice the apartment manager's expression behind him.

Instead, he looked at Dalia, whose expression was filled with panic.

Recalling her situation in the drama.

Dalia was abandoned by her irresponsible parents when she was a child.

She was sent to an orphanage when she was very young.

After several changes in foster families, this period became a source of childhood trauma for her.

From that time on, Dalia's spirit became particularly fragile.

She was afraid of being abandoned again, and she was also afraid of losing.

Her originally happy married life successfully alleviated her terrible mental state.

However, the family fell apart because of the husband's infidelity and betrayal.

The hard-won custody of her daughter became her last lifeline.

But her ex-husband still intends to take their daughter away from her.

This hectic life further weakened her spirit.

If she can't prove that there really is a vengeful spirit haunting the building,

Given her mental state, she may lose custody of her daughter.

"Ding! 』

A notification sounded, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

The old elevator was covered in mold and black patches.

It occasionally exudes a damp and chilly atmosphere.

But when Li Yuan stepped into the elevator,

That damp, cold feeling vanished without a trace.

Neither Dalia nor the apartment manager, preoccupied with their own thoughts, noticed this change.

Only the little girl Cecilia took Radalia's hand, looked up and said:

"Mom, it's so warm here."

Disturbed by her thoughts, Dalia simply gave a perfunctory smile and didn't say anything more.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the 9th floor where Dalia was renting an apartment.

Dalia, who was about to step out of the elevator, was stopped by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stepped out of the elevator first and instantly activated [Sensing Evil Creatures] to survey his surroundings.

A moment later, he glanced in the direction of the upstairs.

I slowly retreated back into the elevator and pressed the button for the 10th floor.

Seeing this, the administrator couldn't help but speak up and remind them:

"Sir, no one lives upstairs."

"No one lives there, but ghosts live there."

Li Yuan's words stunned both Dalia and the administrator.

However, a hint of joy appeared in Dalia's eyes.

Li Yuan's words proved that she wasn't crazy, and her daughter probably wouldn't be taken away.

The administrator's eyes held a hint of fear, clearly indicating that he knew something.

When the elevator doors slowly opened again, Dalia was surprised to find that...

The corridor on the tenth floor was filled with black sewage.

Just then, Li Yuan seemed not to see the sewage on the ground and stepped directly on it.

The next moment, something surprising happened.

The black water outside the elevator, upon contact with Li Yuan,

They surged backward in a frenzy, revealing the previously tidy ground.

As Li Yuan took a step forward, the Blackwater retreated a little more.

Like frightened little animals, they trembled and fled backward.

Li Yuan turned his head and glanced at the three people standing in the elevator, then asked in confusion:

"What are you looking at? Come here!"

"Okay! Coming right away!"

Dalia, holding her daughter's hand, quickly stepped out of the elevator and followed.

The administrator, seeing the bizarre scene, became even more frightened.

The sound of trickling water filled the entire corridor, and all the black water eventually flowed into the room upstairs in Dalia's house.

Li Yuan stopped at the door and gently knocked.
