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

The space behind the red door remained pitch black.

Moreover, a thin, grayish-white mist surrounded the area, making it impossible to distinguish east from west.

However, Anna navigated the mist with practiced ease.

Everything around her seemed to pose no obstacle to her.

Iris followed behind Anna.

Looking at the slightly hunched back of the figure in front of him, he asked with some curiosity:

"Anna, why didn't you talk to me when we met decades ago?"

Although you are a ghost, I meant you no harm at the time.

Anna paused slightly upon hearing this.

However, things quickly returned to normal.

But it did not directly answer Ellis's question.

They continued walking forward in silence.

Knowing the truth, Li Yuan turned and glanced at Iris.

I'm wondering whether or not to tell her the truth.

But just then, a large wooden door appeared in front of them.

It seems we've arrived at the perimeter of some building.

Upon seeing the large door, Ellis exclaimed in surprise to the others:

"My God! That's the prison gate!"

I saw this door when I went to pick up my father from prison!

Upon hearing Iris's words, Anna, who was leading the way, stopped again.

However, she still didn't say anything.

After standing there for a while, I continued walking forward.

As Anna walked toward the prison gates carrying the lantern...

The wooden door also opened automatically to both sides.

After entering the prison gates,

Anna held up the lantern, breaking through the mist in front of her, and led the group forward.

A few minutes later, in front of everyone,

Surprisingly, a brand new red door appeared again.

Upon seeing the red door, Anna finally stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and gently handed the lantern to Li Yuan behind her.

Then, he placed an antique-looking key into his hand.

Li Yuan reached out and took the two items, then said gently to Anna:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of that demon."

"Thanks."

Anna thanked Li Yuan softly upon hearing this.

Then he turned to look at Ellis beside him and said calmly:

"Actually, when I met you, I wasn't a ghost yet."

Upon hearing this, Ellis froze on the spot.

She asked, looking bewildered:

"How...how is this possible?"

At this point, Ellis's words caught in her throat.

An unbelievable possibility popped into Ellis's mind.

As expected, Anna, oblivious to Iris's expression,

He continued speaking to himself:

"However, it was indeed on that day that I completely became a ghost."

As she spoke, Anna glanced at Ellis:

"And all of this is thanks to your father."

In that instant, Ellis had guessed this possibility.

She immediately closed her eyes in sadness.

It turns out that his father did the same thing as Ghazal back then!

"I'm...I'm sorry, Anna."

Iris opened her eyes, her gaze filled with remorse as she apologized to Anna.

Perhaps if I hadn't tried to communicate with her, Anna could have escaped safely.

Anna stared at Iris in silence for a long time.

Only after a moment did he murmur:

"My remains are in the house's ventilation ducts."

After everything is over, I hope you can help me bury it.

Upon hearing this, Iris nodded repeatedly to Anna and said excitedly:

"Don't worry, once I return to the real world..."

"We must retrieve your remains and bury them properly."

"There's more surprise waiting for you there."

Anna chuckled softly, a strange smile playing on her lips.

Then she looked at Li Yuan and said softly:

"Good luck to you."

He then slowly walked past Iris and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ellis sighed softly, and said with some sadness:

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Li Yuan, I probably can't be of much help to you. I'm in a very bad state right now."

"It's alright, you don't need to worry too much. Just leave everything to me and Lu."

Li Yuan softly comforted Iris.

He then nodded to Lu and said:

"Alright, let's go in."

As he spoke, Li Yuan gently raised the lantern in his hand.

The dark red door slowly opened.

Seeing this, Li Yuan took the lead and stepped inside.

Lula pulled the somewhat distraught Iris along with him inside.

After the three of them entered the space inside the red door...

To my surprise, although a thin layer of white mist still floated inside,

But the interior layout is exactly like the inside of a prison.

Because this place houses mostly serious offenders.

Therefore, most prison cells are rows of white single rooms.

And in each of the closed single rooms,

They all murmured softly, some incomprehensible whispers.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

The ability to sense evil creatures was activated directly.

In this spirit prison, they search for Melissa and the Key Demon.

Soon, Li Yuan and his two companions passed through the single cell at the entrance.

We arrived at a long, dark corridor.

Both sides of this corridor were lined with single cells separated by iron bars.

Li Yuan could see the prisoners inside from outside.

There aren't many prisoner ghosts here, probably only about a dozen.

Among these ghosts, Li Yuan spotted Melissa.

At this moment, she was wearing a collar and chained to a solitary confinement cell.

He huddled in the corner, trembling with fear!

Seeing this, Li Yuan was about to turn around and tell Elizabeth that he had discovered Melissa's situation.

But then they suddenly realized that Ellis was standing there, completely stunned!

Li Yuan followed Iris's gaze with a puzzled look and looked towards a cell on the right.

There they found a middle-aged man in a uniform.

Ellis, trembling, pointed to the middle-aged man in the cell.

He said, somewhat incredulously:

"That...that's my father, what's he doing here?"

Seeing this, Li Yuan had no choice but to explain to Iris in a low voice:

"Many of the people who died around this prison were marked by the Key Demon."

So after their deaths, they were all imprisoned in this prison by the Key Demon.

But at that moment, Ellis's eyes froze slightly.

He became completely stunned.

At the same time, the cell door of Gerald, Iris's father, slowly opened.

Gerald, wearing the prison guard uniform, slowly walked out of his cell.

He stood somewhat timidly by the wall, his hands pressed against it as Ellis had when he was punished as a child.

Ellis slowly walked towards Gerald, muttering to herself:

"I won't let you hurt me again, I won't let you hurt me again..."

Seeing this, Li Yuan frowned slightly.

It's speculated that Ellis may have been mentally invaded.

Thinking of this, he gently raised his right hand.

A beam of azure light instantly flashed in Iris's eyes!

The spiritual blessing was directly bestowed upon Iris!

The moment Iris's eyes regained their clarity,

A withered and ugly figure appeared in front of Li Yuan and his two companions in an instant!
