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

In the autopsy room at this point, only one person and one corpse remained.

Li Yuan circled the autopsy table, observing the female corpse with great interest for a moment.

Seeing that the other party still didn't react, he smiled and teased:

"Nice bust shape, looks very pretty."

The moment the words left his mouth, Li Yuan clearly felt an energy fluctuation emanating from the surrounding space.

Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded in my ear:

[Ding! Warning! Host has been attacked by mental energy!]

[Ding! The opponent's mental level is insufficient; the mental attack failed!]

The continuous beeping notification sounds brought a sheepish smile to Li Yuan's face:

"Stop struggling, you can't do anything to me."

The female corpse's only means of attack was through illusions.

However, this level of illusion had no effect on Li Yuan whatsoever.

However, this ability aroused Li Yuan's great interest.

He took a surgical gown from the clothes rack and casually draped it over the woman's naked body.

Then, with his hands in his pockets, he stared into the woman's gray, misty eyes and asked:

"Can you speak? I'd like to talk to you."

*Sizzle—*

A distant radio suddenly emitted a burst of chaotic noise.

A woman's heart-wrenching sobs came through the radio, but not a single complete word was uttered.

Listening to the jumbled sounds coming from the radio

Li Yuan frowned and muttered to himself:

"A vengeful spirit of your level shouldn't be unable to communicate, so why can't you speak?"

Li Yuan glanced subconsciously at the photo posted on the blackboard.

One of the photos is a close-up of the female corpse's mouth.

The rough, severed section of the tongue root caught Li Yuan's eye.

"Holy crap, could it be because it doesn't have a tongue?"

Li Yuan, quite surprised, glanced back and forth between the photos and the corpse.

However, the female corpse still showed no reaction, and the screaming from the radio continued.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan suddenly came up with an idea.

He then bent down and said to the female corpse:

"I can enter the spirit world, but I don't know if your soul exists there."

Perhaps we can communicate there.

As he spoke, Li Yuan observed the state of the female corpse.

Finding that she was still the same, he continued:

"If you agree, turn off the radio and all the lights."

The radio went silent the instant Li Yuan finished speaking.

And all the lights in the room were turned off.

The entire autopsy room fell into silent darkness.

Only Li Yuan's breathing continued.

Li Yuan straightened up and revealed a smile in the darkness.

She said softly, "This is a good start, isn't it?"

At this moment, outside the house.

Sheriff Burke, who was some distance from the house, and the Tilden father and son,

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Li Yuan still hadn't come out, they became a little anxious.

Tommy glanced at his house and asked Burke in front of him:

"Is that Asian youth in danger?"

Burke also had some concerns,

But in front of the Tilden father and son, he still wanted to appear as calm as possible.

He then feigned nonchalance and chuckled:

"Don't worry about it. Even if we all die, he'll be fine."

Seeing Burke's confidence, Tommy smiled and nodded, saying:

"I hope so."

Burke smiled and nodded, then lit a cigarette.

As he exhaled a smoke ring,

He glanced in the direction of the dissection room, but his heart was filled with worry.

Meanwhile, inside the dissection room.

Li Yuan arranged the table and chairs, and casually lit a candle and placed it on the table.

With everything ready, Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes and concentrated.

When he opened his eyes again,

The once dark autopsy room was now faintly lit.

The whole thing was enveloped in a dark green halo.

Li Yuan slowly stood up from the chair and looked at the female corpse on the autopsy table.

At this moment, Li Yuan was surprised to find that...

The woman's eyes were no longer as empty and lifeless as before.

Instead, he stared intently at Li Yuan with wide eyes.

Li Yuan stared at the female corpse and noticed that she didn't seem inclined to speak.

Somewhat surprised, he asked:

"You're in the spirit world, and even in your soul state, you can't speak?"

The female corpse blinked, as if to tell Li Yuan that she was indeed unable to speak.

Looking at the woman's corpse, Li Yuan frowned and emphasized:

"I am not here to judge you."

Fearing she might be hostile towards him, Li Yuan offered an explanation.

Then he whispered:

I know you suffered a lot of injustices during your lifetime.

I also know that you can kill people and absorb their souls to heal your injuries.

As he spoke, Li Yuan moved a chair next to the female corpse and asked in a deep voice:

"I want to recruit you as my servant, and I promise to restore you to your original appearance. Are you willing?"

Suddenly, Li Yuan realized that he had forgotten again that the witch couldn't speak.

He then added:

"Blink once if you agree, blink twice if you disagree."

After hearing Li Yuan's words, the female corpse quickly gave a reply.

She blinked rapidly twice, seemingly having no intention of becoming Li Yuan's attendant.

Seeing her blinking rapidly, Li Yuan was both amused and exasperated.

"Hey, let me tell you, don't be stubborn and end up being punished!"

You don't actually think I can't handle you, do you?

As he spoke, a dazzling holy light shone in Li Yuan's palm:

I advise you to think carefully before giving me an answer.

Be careful, my hand might slip and I might accidentally cast holy light on you.

Faced with Li Yuan's threat, a flash of anger crossed the female corpse's face.

But when her gaze fell upon the holy light shining in Li Yuan's hand,

A deep sense of fear was still visible in the woman's eyes.

Li Yuan, observing the female corpse's expression, chuckled inwardly:

"As expected, Holy Light is still the best weapon against some evil creatures."

After a long while, just as Li Yuan was getting a little impatient,

The female corpse finally glanced at him with a wronged expression and slowly blinked her eyes.

"Ah! That's more like it."

Li Yuan waved his right hand, and the holy light in his hand was instantly dispelled.

He approached the female corpse and jokingly remarked:

"This is called 'a wise person knows when to yield,' and you won't suffer if you follow me."

The mute female corpse could only gaze sadly at Li Yuan.

She didn't react at all to his teasing.

Li Yuan guessed that she might be recalling some sad things from the past, so he didn't say anything more.

Instead, he slowly walked up to the female corpse and extended his right hand, intending to perform the servant conversion ritual.

However, just as Li Yuan's right hand was about to press on the female corpse's forehead,

He was about to speak, but suddenly swallowed his words back.

Li Yuan chuckled awkwardly and withdrew his hand, asking somewhat embarrassedly:

"Um... I still don't know your name?"

The female corpse stared at Li Yuan with an unwavering gaze, her lips moving slightly as she silently uttered three words.

Following the movement of the female corpse's lips, Li Yuan whispered to confirm:

"Grace... Lace?"

The female corpse blinked again, acknowledging the name Li Yuan had spoken.

Seeing this, Li Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If you don't know the other person's name, you can't proceed with the next part of the ceremony.

Li Yuan composed himself and reached out his hand again.
