Chapter 485 The Attack from Behind, The Earthbound Spirit in the House

When Jessica heard that Li Yuan actually wanted to take her inside, she quickly refused:

"No! Sir, please believe me, there really is danger inside. I'm not lying to you!"

At the same time, she shook her head like a rattle drum.

Clearly, they didn't want to go in and face those horrific sights.

Seeing Jessica's nervous and scared expression, Li Yuan could understand her feelings very well.

Then a slight smile appeared on Li Yuan's face:

"Miss, I haven't introduced myself yet."

Li Yuan spoke gently and gave his name and occupation:

"My name is Li Yuan, and I am an exorcist."

After speaking, Li Yuan reached into his pocket and took out his business card.

It was handed to Jessica, who looked confused.

Somewhat wary, Jessica glanced at the business card after receiving it.

When she looked at Li Yuan again, there was finally some trust in her eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Li Yuan, my name is Jessica..."

Jessica hadn't finished speaking yet.

The next second, she suddenly widened her eyes and shouted towards Li Yuan's back:

"No! Don't do this!"

"call--"

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out from behind Li Yuan.

A strong, muscular man wielding a pitchfork.

It slammed down hard on the back of Li Yuan's head!

However, Li Yuan, who was already prepared, simply raised his hand slightly.

He then grabbed the pitchfork, which was almost within reach, and held it in his hand.

Just as Li Yuan slightly turned his body, preparing to retaliate,

Jessica, standing in front of him, finally uttered the words she was about to say:

"John, don't do it! Mr. Li Yuan is a good man!"

Upon hearing Jessica's words, Li Yuan immediately understood.

It turned out that the burly man named John behind her was actually a family member of Jessica's.

John, the burly man who was being stopped, heard Jessica say this.

He quickly apologized to Li Yuan:

"Oh! I'm sorry, sir."

Then, John scratched his head and explained to Li Yuan with a smile:

"I was just packing up my tools outside when I heard Jessica's voice."

I thought she had been bullied by some bad guys, so I rushed over to help.

Upon hearing this, Jessica gave John a very grateful look.

Then he said softly:

"Thank you, John. I thought you were up there. It scared me to death."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan also released the pitchfork in his hand.

He shook his head and said to John:

"It's alright, I understand. After all, you were just trying to save people."

As he spoke, he looked at Jessica again and said softly:

"Let's go in and see what's going on."

Li Yuan stared at the door and muttered to himself:

"I never expected that wandering into a farm would lead to paranormal events."

Jessica, standing to the side, nodded somewhat uncertainly.

Then, carrying his younger brother, he and John followed behind Li Yuan.

He went back into his home.

Upon entering, Li Yuan saw the mess on the first floor of the house.

The scene looked as if the victim had been robbed by a gang of bandits.

Everything on the first floor was knocked to the ground to varying degrees.

Shattered glass fragments were scattered all over the ground.

John, standing behind Li Yuan, looked at the messy house.

He slowly put down the pitchfork in his hand and said with some doubt:

"Oh! This looks serious, Jessica. Has the FBI searched this place?"

Jessica forced a smile in response to John's joke.

She raised her arms a couple of times and said weakly:

"They took flight on their own..."

Immediately, unable to think of any adjectives to describe it, Jessica gave up struggling.

He said with a rather helpless expression:

"In short, it's hard to believe, and I don't know what happened."

"It's okay, Jessica, leave it to me, the problem will be solved soon."

Li Yuan smiled and offered Jessica a word of comfort.

Then, he whispered instructions to Jessica and John:

"Don't stray too far from me, or you might get attacked."

Having said that, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with golden light.

The [Sensing Evil Creatures] skill was activated instantly.

The next second, the color before Li Yuan's eyes changed,

They also noticed something amiss in the room.

It's in the basement on the right side of the corridor ahead.

There were actually three earthbound spirits drifting slowly there.

Seeing this, Li Yuan reached into his pocket, took out his sunglasses, and put them on.

Then, he jokingly said:

"This earthbound spirit is quite powerful; it can even destroy a house, making it comparable to a fully grown husky."

"What?"

Upon hearing about the earthbound spirit, Jessica's eyes widened immediately.

Then he looked at Li Yuan and asked seriously:

"Mr. Li Yuan, are you saying this house is haunted?"

"That's right, in the basement, and there are three of them."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's answer, Jessica's body stiffened instantly.

She instantly remembered the strange things she had encountered in the basement before.

The occasional dead pigeon, a pocket watch left behind by someone, and a mysterious shadow appearing out of nowhere.

Thinking of this, Jessica suddenly realized and said:

"I knew it! I knew there was something wrong with this house!"

Dad bought it for a very low price; he must have been ripped off!

John, standing behind Li Yuan and Jessica,

After overhearing Jessica and Li Yuan's conversation, his eyes suddenly became somewhat blank.

His eyes were fixed on the basement, as if he were recalling something.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then glanced at John behind him, whose eyes looked confused.

He teased softly:

"Your father was indeed scammed."

Jessica noticed the look in Li Yuan's eyes just now.

Knowing he had misunderstood something, Jessica quickly explained:

"No, Mr. Li Yuan,"

John wasn't my father; he was a farmhand on our family farm.

"Oh! I see."

Realizing he had guessed wrong, Li Yuan quickly nodded in understanding.

Seeing how hard John was working, he initially thought he was a relative of Jessica.

Li Yuan coughed awkwardly, not paying any attention to John's feelings.

Instead, he changed the subject and suggested to Jessica:

"Let's go, Jessica, let's go to the basement and talk to them."

Then, fearing that Jessica might not understand, Li Yuan patiently explained:

"Earthbound spirits are generally the souls of the dead whose obsessions have not been quelled."

Among ghosts, they are considered relatively easy to communicate with.

Upon hearing Li Yuan mention terms like "wandering spirits" and "bound spirits,"

Jessica shrank back in fright; it was the first time she had ever encountered anything like this.

However, when Jessica saw the way Li Yuan was looking at her,

A sense of security rose in my heart once again.

Thinking of this, Jessica mustered her courage and nodded to Li Yuan.

Holding her younger brother, she followed behind Li Yuan into the basement of the house.

What Li Yuan and Jessica didn't notice was that John stood at the basement door and didn't follow them down.

Only Ben, who was being held in Jessica's arms, discovered this.

He stretched out his little hand and smiled as he reached out to grab John.

It seemed to be beckoning John to come down with her.

John, however, remained unmoved. His eyes gradually cleared from confusion, and finally turned cruel.
