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

The girl looked very young and was probably no older than 18.

Li Yuan cautiously asked the girl:

"Did you really encounter something like that?"

Although Li Yuan dislikes the classic "I don't believe it" trope in horror movies,

But when it came to his own turn, he still had to double-check, because he didn't want to make a wasted trip.

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, the girl's expression immediately became somewhat anxious.

For a moment, Spanish, mixed with bits of English, came out of his mouth:

"It's true, please believe me!"

Because of his Spanish language skills, Li Yuan was still able to understand what was being said.

Seeing that the other person's expression didn't seem fake, he gently comforted him:

"I don't distrust you, girl, don't worry."

He picked up a paper cup, poured a glass of water for the girl, and placed it in her hand.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The girl took a sip of water to calm herself down a bit.

Only then did he recount the whole story.

The girl's name is Veronica, and her family immigrated to the United States from Spain a few months ago.

Veronica and her family of six lived happily.

Veronica's parents loved her and her three other children very much.

However, a month ago, something unfortunate happened.

The father, who ran a tavern, was robbed on his way home.

The robbers not only stole the money but also shot and killed the father.

This made what was once a happy family suddenly find themselves in dire straits.

The mother had no choice but to take over the tavern left by the father, and she was extremely busy every day.

The task of taking care of her younger siblings fell to Veronica.

Veronica, who was still a child, was overwhelmed with worries every day.

This kind of life made her miss her father very much.

By chance, Veronica and her classmates started playing a psychic game.

He attempted to summon back his father's spirit.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan covered his face.

The words "spirit communication game" never bring good news.

As expected, Veronica's next words completely confirmed Li Yuan's guess.

An accident occurred during the psychic game; the psychic board broke in the middle.

From that day on, strange things began to happen in Veronica's house.

It seemed as if a demon had possessed her.

"I've recently been able to see that demon, and it's threatening my younger siblings."

Veronica looked at Li Yuan pleadingly, "Please, please help me!"

Why didn't you tell your mother?

Upon hearing this, Veronica immediately burst into tears.

"I told her, but my mother simply didn't believe me..."

Veronica's words left Li Yuan in a bit of a dilemma.

The other party is a minor, and if they are not accompanied by a guardian,

Going to someone's house without permission could cause trouble.

"Veronica, I'm afraid that won't work."

Fearing the other party might be anxious, Li Yuan patiently explained:

"If someone complains, it could get me into trouble."

"And I have to charge you. Do you have the money?"

Li Yuan looked at Veronica seriously and asked the most crucial question.

Edward, who had been listening intently to this,

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, he widened his eyes and looked over in disbelief.

Feeling Edward's gaze, Li Yuan turned and glared at him.

He gestured for him to shut up, then turned to look at Veronica.

To everyone's surprise, Veronica nodded.

He took a bunch of loose change out of his bag and put it on Li Yuan's table.

"I...I only have this much left..."

The girl looked at Li Yuan pitifully: "Please, please save us."

Li Yuan looked at the pile of loose change and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, I promise you."

Before Veronica could even be happy, Li Yuan continued:

"But we need to go to your mother; we need her authorization."

"Thank you, Mr. Li Yuan, thank you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Veronica immediately stopped crying and started laughing, jumping up and down happily.

Edward, standing to the side, nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself:

"I told you my brother wasn't just a money-grubber!"

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Li Yuan extended his hand to Veronica, ready to shake it.

But just as Li Yuan grasped Veronica's outstretched hand...

Suddenly I felt a chill, as if I were holding a block of ice!

Li Yuan subconsciously activated the [Seal of Justice].

A golden light flashed, and golden patterns appeared on the back of Li Yuan's hand!

*Sizzle—!*

A sizzling sound came from their palms.

The girl screamed and shook off his hand, looking at Li Yuan with a terrified expression.

"Your...your hands are so hot!"

"No."

Li Yuan slowly shook his head and said to Veronica in a deep voice:

"It's because your hands are too cold."

"Wh...what do you mean?"

Veronica was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Just then, the girl, who had been looking tense, suddenly rolled the whites of her eyes upwards.

Suddenly, his body tilted to one side and he began to convulse for no apparent reason!

Edward was so frightened by the bizarre scene that he backed away and fell to the ground with a thud.

Li Yuan stared at Veronica, who was convulsing, and cursed inwardly:

"This demon is quite ferocious; it can possess people and roam around in broad daylight."

Before Li Yuan could react, Veronica suddenly stopped convulsing.

His eyes were completely covered by the whites of his eyes, and his face was covered with bluish-purple veins.

He smiled strangely at Li Yuan:

"Hahaha, this sow is mine, and you can't take my spoils!"

The sound was like fingernails scraping against glass, sharp and piercing.

Edward covered his ears and shouted:

"It's too noisy! Li Yuan, kill it now!"

Li Yuan ignored Edward's shouts and instead pondered in his mind:

Using damaging skills might harm Veronica's body, and using holy water would seem like a waste.

Let's try Holy Light then!

He hadn't tested the effectiveness of the Holy Light spell against enemies since it reached level 2.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Veronica by the collar and pulled her in front of him.

Then he quickly slapped her forehead with his other hand.

"Haha, young exorcist, you can't do anything to me!"

Watching Li Yuan's actions, the demon mocked him without any panic.

He'd seen plenty of exorcisms following the standard procedure.

Clearly, they didn't take the young Li Yuan seriously.

"Shut up, you filthy demon! Accept the baptism of holy light!"

Li Yuan didn't play by the rules; he wasn't holding a Bible.

There was no questioning of the demon; instead, they attacked directly!

As Li Yuan placed his right hand on the other person's head, the [Holy Light] spell took effect!

"Buzz!"

Golden holy light instantly invaded Veronica's body.

Her body also began to tremble violently.

Then came a foul, fishy stench, and the demon's agonizing screams.

"Ah—! How is this possible!"

Veronica's body writhed and twisted, like an ant on a hot pan.

Black smoke, carrying a fishy stench, slowly rose and floated inside the office.

Edward's hands were simply not enough; he could only attend to one ear and one nose at a time, and his face was contorted in pain.

Fortunately, as the holy light gradually penetrated, the demons' wails grew fainter.

Until a dark shadow darted out from Veronica with a whoosh.

Before Li Yuan could make a move, the office door was suddenly kicked open.

The dark figure darted out through the crack in the door and vanished without a trace.

Veronica had recovered by now. She collapsed into Li Yuan's arms, drenched in sweat, and said with difficulty:

"Thank you... Mr. Li Yuan..."

Li Yuan frowned as he looked at the still-shaking door and said in a deep voice:

"It's not over yet, let's go."
