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

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Ellis's neck.

We discovered a red mark on her neck, indicating that she had been strangled.

Seeing this, Specks and Tucker quickly helped the somewhat weakened Ellis...

They helped her to a nearby restaurant so she could rest for a while.

And he inquired about her health with concern.

Standing next to Li Yuan, Lu muttered under his breath, quite surprised:

"Why is Ellis there? She was clearly in the bedroom!"

Li Yuan, who was rewarding Hell Detective Xiao Yugan, chuckled upon hearing this.

Just as he was about to speak up to explain for Lu...

Then they heard the homeowner, Ghazal, ask the same question as Lu.

However, his expression showed a slight hint of nervousness:

"You... what are you doing there? I thought you'd be in the bedroom."

When Li Yuan caught a glimpse of his expression, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up slightly:

This guy is terrified of his secret being discovered.

At this moment, having regained some of her strength, Ellis slowly began to explain:

"I didn't come here on my own; something brought me there."

Elliston paused, looked at Ghazal, and said softly:

"That was a woman's soul."

As she spoke, she squinted her eyes and murmured softly:

I don't know why she said "help her,"

But that woman was the ghost I saw in this house when I was 16.

Ghazal, who was initially somewhat nervous,

Hearing Ellis's words, he immediately relaxed.

The others listened to Ellis's words with expressions of curiosity.

As she spoke, Ellis was once again lost in her childhood memories.

He then recounted his past to everyone in the restaurant.

After my mother passed away, the household chores...

Most of the work was done together by the siblings who were growing up.

That day, Elise, who was already 16 years old, and her younger brother Christian,

I'm cleaning the floors at home as usual.

I don't know why, but lately the floor at home has been sticky.

Just as the siblings were diligently cleaning the floor,

Suddenly, Ellis sensed something coming from the laundry room behind her.

It seems that something is happening.

She asked her brother if he had also heard the sound.

But the younger brother shook his head in confusion, indicating that he hadn't heard anything.

Upon hearing this, Ellis frowned, convinced she hadn't misheard.

She quickly stood up and slowly walked towards the door of the laundry room.

Sure enough, when Ellis tiptoed to the laundry room door,

To his horror, he discovered a woman who was filthy and covered in wounds.

He just stood there, staring blankly at her.

Iris, suspecting she might have seen a ghost again,

He looked at the woman with a friendly expression and said softly:

"Hello, this is my and my brother Christian's place. May I ask your name?"

However, Ellis's friendly inquiry went unanswered.

The woman was still staring blankly at Ellis, her face showing a complex mix of emotions.

Just as Ellis spoke again, attempting to communicate with the other party,

The younger brother, standing nearby, thought Ellis was just teasing him again.

From a young age, Ellis always inexplicably talked to thin air.

This terrified Christian.

"Enough! Stop making up stories to scare me!"

Iris smiled upon hearing this, looked at the woman, and said softly:

"You can come out and see my brother; he doesn't believe you're here."

Even after Ellis said that, the woman remained unmoved.

There was no response to Ellis's words.

Just then, Gerald's voice suddenly came from inside the room, calling out to his younger brother.

"Christian!"

Immediately afterwards, Gerald appeared in the corridor.

Upon seeing this, Ellis's heart tightened.

Because her father hated hearing her say that she could see ghosts.

Ellis knew she was likely to be subjected to corporal punishment again.

Sure enough, seeing the terror on Ellis's face, her father frowned and slowly walked over:

"Ellis, what are you doing?"

Due to years of alcoholism and poor lifestyle habits

Gerald is already unable to move around easily.

He could only walk with a limp, using crutches.

Even so, years of corporal punishment against Ellis still left her panicked and disoriented.

Even so, Ellis still stammered out the truth:

"The laundry room... there's someone in the laundry room."

Gerald did not believe his daughter's explanation.

He raised an eyebrow dismissively.

He slowly walked into the laundry room, looked around, and said to Ellis:

"There's no one here, and you're doing it again?"

As he spoke, he casually closed the laundry room door and turned to look at Ellis.

Knowing what punishment she was about to face, Ellis hurriedly and nervously explained:

No! You can't punish me for this!

I didn't want this to happen either; I really didn't ask for this trouble!

Gerald approached Iris and gently lifted his cane.

He pressed his lips to Ellis's and whispered:

"You've spent your whole life doing one thing, Ellis."

Then, Gerald said, word by word:

"That's just asking for trouble."

Seeing that she was about to be beaten again, Iris, who was cornered against the wall, had no choice but to fight back!

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Gerald's head.

He then unleashed his power, displaying the scene of Gerald's death.

It was projected directly into his mind!

In an instant, Gerald was shocked by the image of death.

Suddenly, he lost all his strength and slowly collapsed against the wall.

Caught in a web of complex emotions, Ellis cried out to her father:

"No! I won't let you hurt me again!"

Having said that, he ignored his younger brother's pleas.

She took nothing with her and fled alone from the home that was like hell to her.

"I haven't been home since then."

After explaining why she left home, Ellis looked at Li Yuan and whispered:

"The female ghost I encountered tonight is the same one I met in the laundry room when I was 16."

At this point, a hint of fatigue appeared on Ellis's face.

She glanced at the door painted red with colored pencils on the magazine on the table.

He murmured in a low voice:

"I think we should call it a day for tonight."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They then prepared to pack their things and leave, planning to come back and explore again tomorrow.

But at that moment, Li Yuan, who had been silently holding Hell Detective, spoke up.

His slightly magnetic voice drifted through the restaurant:

"Our investigation into ghosts can indeed come to a close."

As he spoke, Li Yuan looked at Ghazal, who was standing in the corner with his head down, and said with a smile:

"Now, let's talk about you, Ghazal."
