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

Police cars sped up outside the Tilden morgue.

Sheriff Burke slammed on the brakes, bringing the patrol car to a smooth stop in front of the morgue.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and said to Li Yuan:

"Let's go in and take a look."

As Burke stepped out of the car, he glanced instinctively at the night sky.

As he hurried toward the gate, he muttered to himself in confusion:

"The weather forecast said it would be sunny all day, but it's all cloudy now."

Hearing Burke's mutterings, Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He also looked up and glanced up.

But they found that the night sky was still full of stars, without a single cloud in sight.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Burke, who was trying to go inside, and asked:

"You mean the sky is full of dark clouds?"

"yes."

Burke, having drawn his pistol, nodded and then said to Li Yuan:

"And the wind is really strong, it might rain?"

"Forget about the weather, let's go inside and check on Tommy and the others."

As he spoke, he raised his pistol and prepared to rush inside.

Something ahead seemed to be attracting him.

He pushed the door, but it wouldn't open. He frowned and asked:

"Did you see that? A dark shadow flashed across the corridor just now."

Li Yuan shook his head and muttered to himself:

"This unidentified female corpse is quite something; Burke was hit as soon as he got out of the car."

However, after thinking about it, Li Yuan felt that it was probably also his own fault.

Because he mentioned to Burke that the Tilden father and son might be in danger.

This also indirectly weakened Burke's mental strength.

This caught Burke, who was in a bit of a hurry, completely off guard.

Burke did not hear what Li Yuan said.

He turned his head and looked over, asking in confusion:

"What did you say?"

But the next second, Burke, who was looking at Li Yuan, widened his eyes in surprise.

He suddenly raised the pistol in his hand, pointed it at Li Yuan, and was about to pull the trigger!

"You're a demon!"

"boom--"

A deafening gunshot rang out through the night sky.

Li Yuan was startled and reacted quickly to dodge the bullet that had just left the barrel!

When Burke realized he had missed his target, he quickly turned his gun around and tried to fire again.

But once Li Yuan realized what was happening, he wasn't about to give him that chance!

Li Yuan snatched the pistol from Burke's hand and instantly activated [Focus Aura]!

"Buzz—"

A bright blue halo shone from Li Yuan's body and gradually expanded outwards.

A moment later, the blue ripples came to a steady stop 5 meters away from Li Yuan.

A light blue circle formed around him!

Burke, who was under the "Focus Aura," instantly regained consciousness.

He stared blankly at his hands for a moment, then looked at Li Yuan in front of him.

He asked in surprise:

"What just happened? I seem to remember you turning into a demon!"

Li Yuan handed the pistol back to Burke and said irritably:

"You're under an illusion. How could I possibly be a demon?"

As he spoke, Li Yuan pushed the door of the morgue and found that it was indeed locked.

Li Yuan summoned the master key and inserted it into the lock.

He casually explained to Burke, who was standing to the side, looking completely bewildered:

"That unidentified female corpse was an evil creature that could induce hallucinations in people."

'Click'

With the help of the master key, Li Yuan easily opened the door to the morgue.

As he entered through the gate, he spoke to Burke, offering a word of advice:

"Don't fire randomly when you go in. Leave everything to me."

Then, without looking back, he strode inside.

Inside the autopsy room, Tommy had changed into a new pair of gloves.

He went to the side, picked up a cushion, and instructed Austin:

"Austin, help me lift her upper body up."

Upon hearing his father's command, Austin forcefully lifted the upper body of the woman's corpse.

The father was instructed to place a pillow under the corpse's shoulders and back.

This will make the corpse's chest protrude forward, making it easier to open the chest later.

Just then, thunder rumbled outside the window again.

The lights in the room also flickered.

Tommy looked up and assumed it was just unstable voltage caused by thunder.

He then raised the scalpel, preparing to perform an open-chest examination.

Just as he placed the scalpel against the center of the woman's chest,

Suddenly, the radio in the autopsy room started crackling with random "zzzz" sounds.

Faintly, one could also hear a woman's painful scream.

The sudden turn of events made Tommy's heart tighten, and he frowned as he looked at the radio.

Austin, on the other hand, simply walked over.

Just as Austin was about to approach the radio, the woman's scream vanished instantly.

Instead, a melodious Spanish song came on the radio:

"Open Up Your Heart" means to open your heart.

Tommy looked at Austin helplessly, and the father and son smiled at each other.

Austin then reached out to turn off the radio.

Tommy shook his head helplessly and continued with his work.

He pressed the scalpel against the corpse's chest again, about to make the incision.

But the door to the dissection room was suddenly pushed open forcefully!

"Squeak—"

The screeching sound of the folding pages instantly rang in Tommy's ears.

The jarring sound made him frown, and for the first time, he felt that the door to his autopsy room needed to be replaced.

Tommy put down his scalpel and looked at the young Asian man who had barged into the autopsy room.

He asked in a deep voice:

"Damn it! Who are you? How did you get in?"

Tommy remembered that he had locked the front door.

Li Yuan glanced at the female corpse lying on the autopsy table and said with a smile:

"Of course I'm here to save you. If I hadn't come tonight, you might have become her nourishment."

The Tilden father and son exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Until they saw Sheriff Burke walk in behind Li Yuan,

Then, with a hint of surprise, he asked, "Burke? What brings you here?"

Sheriff Burke, seeing that the father and son were not in mortal danger, finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He holstered his pistol and began to introduce Li Yuan's identity to the two men in a serious tone:

"His name is Li Yuan. He was invited by the church to investigate this unidentified female corpse."

As he spoke, Burke pointed to the woman's corpse:

"She has a problem, related to the occult."

Tommy's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he immediately took a few steps back.

The scalpel in his hand clattered to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Austin quickly went to his father's side and reached out to support him, afraid that he might accidentally fall.

Li Yuan slowly walked to the dissection table, bent down to pick up the scalpel, and placed it on the tray next to him.

Then, he said to Tommy, who looked somewhat nervous:

"Mr. Tilden, you and Sheriff Burke go outside and wait."

I'll sort things out before you come over.

"Okay, let's go out now."

Tommy nodded readily and was about to pull his son away.

But Austin, remembering the thunder outside, quickly said:

"Where should we go now? It's still raining outside!"

Upon hearing Austin's question, Burke was immediately reminded of what had just happened to him.

He explained softly to Austin:

"Don't worry, it's sunny and clear outside, not a drop of rain. You guys just got caught in the rain."

Austin opened his mouth upon hearing this, but ultimately swallowed the rest of his words.

Supporting her father, she quickly left the dissection room.

Sheriff Burke looked at Li Yuan and said with some concern:

"Be careful too, we'll wait for you downstairs."

"Okay, I understand."

Turning his gaze away from Sheriff Burke's retreating figure, Li Yuan turned his attention to the female corpse on the autopsy table.
