Chapter 55 The Return Journey, Edward's Choice
Upon hearing the sound, Li Yuan quickly ran to the back of the carriage.
He pulled out the mechanic's hammer and smashed the lock open!
As the carriage door opened, a pungent, foul odor rushed out.
Li Yuan covered his nose and took out his headlamp, illuminating the dark carriage.
A woman dressed in thin clothes was seen huddled at the end of the carriage.
Her hands and feet were tightly bound with rope, and her mouth was sealed shut.
Li Yuan stood outside the carriage and used his headlamp to inspect the inside.
Seeing that there was no danger, he climbed onto the carriage and untied the woman's restraints.
Li Yuan comforted the trembling woman and asked softly:
"Can you tell me what happened?"
"My...my family was all killed..."
In her haste, the woman blurted out French.
He spoke quickly and urgently, his voice tinged with barely concealed fear.
Fortunately, Li Yuan had already mastered French and could accurately understand every sentence.
"Take your time and speak slowly."
Li Yuan tried to keep his tone as soft as possible.
So that women wouldn't be so panicked.
The woman took a deep breath and slowly recounted what had happened.
Her name is Alexia, and she is a classmate of Mary, the buzz-cut woman who was knocked down by Li Yuan.
They were all immigrants from France.
Mary came to visit her home today, and they agreed to spend Christmas together tomorrow.
But then, after the family had finished dinner,
Mary suddenly went mad and brutally murdered Alexia's family.
And he neurotically kidnapped Alexia.
Mary would threaten to kill her one minute, and then act crazy the next, saying she would save her the next.
This scene kept repeating itself on the road.
Li Yuan was stunned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
He asked curiously, "So...did she have dissociative identity disorder before?"
Alexia clutched her hair in anguish, shaking her head as she said:
"No, she's always been normal."
Recalling all the things that had happened before,
Alexia's eyes suddenly widened.
She said slowly, "Could it be... because I have a boyfriend?"
Li Yuan clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement:
Goodness, not only is she split in personality, but she's also a lesbian who turns love into hate.
He then immediately composed himself and helped the weakened Alexia out of the carriage.
Edward was standing guard beside Mary, holding a pistol.
Mary was already tightly bound by ropes.
Li Yuan glanced at Mary on the ground and muttered to Edward:
"I told you to watch less Japanese porn."
Edward blushed slightly,
She then turned her face away, embarrassed.
Li Yuan briefly explained the situation between the two to the others.
After hearing the reason, the three of them had the same bewildered expression as Li Yuan before.
"This world is too dangerous."
Pepper held Erin and murmured to herself,
Then she turned her gaze to Li Yuan and asked with great interest:
"Mr. Li, I heard from Edward that you are an exorcist?"
Li Yuan nodded, puzzled. "That's right."
"Could I have a business card?"
Li Yuan pulled out a business card with a puzzled look and handed it over.
However, I kindly added:
"My appearance fee isn't cheap."
Pepper carefully placed the business card close to her body.
He smiled and nodded at Li Yuan.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, I understand."
The next morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.
Pepper and Erin successfully hitched a ride on a van in town.
After filling up the gas tank at the gas station, the group got into their car and headed towards El Paso.
However, just after they left the gas station
The truck, which had been parked quietly, suddenly flashed its lights for no apparent reason...
On the way to their destination, Mary, who was tied up, still didn't behave herself in the car.
She would switch personalities from time to time, cursing Li Yuan in front of her.
"Bastard! Let me go, I'm going to kill you!"
Li Yuan ignored her completely; he had nothing to say to this love-struck fool.
I doubt killing him would increase his Holy Light value.
After arriving in El Paso, Li Yuan's cell phone signal was restored.
After replying to a few text messages,
Li Yuan decided to separate Edward from the three women.
He chose to fly directly back to Los Angeles to get some rest.
This trip almost killed him.
Mary was then taken to the police station by three women to file a report.
Pepper and Erin, whose boyfriends had died, did not choose to report the incident to the police.
After all, the revenge has already been taken, so it's hard to say who the police will arrest later.
After all, corrupt cops are quite notorious in the United States.
Before parting ways with the three women
They hugged Li Yuan again and thanked him once more for his help.
However, the way Pepper looked at him made Li Yuan feel a little strange.
Eager to get home, he didn't think much of it.
Instead, they called a car and rushed to the airport.
After buying the plane tickets, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief:
During the day, at such a close distance, with a flight time of less than 2 hours,
There shouldn't be any accidents, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yuan quickly stopped.
He always felt like he was setting a flag for himself...
At this moment, Li Yuan noticed that Edward beside him seemed to be in low spirits.
He knew that Edward was still troubled by family matters.
Li Yuan gently comforted Edward:
"Don't worry about it, I'll help you."
However, Edward shook his head and said seriously:
"Li Yuan, do you think I can become an exorcist?"
Li Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and then said:
"Um...theoretically, it should be fine, but...there are many types of exorcists."
"I have an idea."
Edward turned to look at Li Yuan and slowly revealed his plan:
"Since they resisted the exorcists from entering the manor."
"Then I'll just learn exorcism skills myself, find that demon, and kill it."
"Um..."
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then said:
"Aren't you afraid your family will kill you?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. This time, I'm not doing it for them, but for myself."
Edward said firmly:
"I don't want my future wife to be at risk of death."
"You're such a filial son and a good man..."
This was, after all, Edward's family matter, and Li Yuan couldn't say much about it.
After all, he also had to respect Edward's choice.
"Then I can only wish you good luck."
Thinking that he couldn't teach Edward his exorcism techniques,
Li Yuan sighed and said:
"I can't teach you exorcism, but if you need exorcism tools, I can give you some."
As he spoke, Li Yuan pulled out the oak hammer that he had left gathering dust in a corner.
"It has been with me for a long time and has been imbued with the power of holy light. You can use it to fight against evil."
Edward's gaze was completely drawn to the oak hammer, and a hand slowly reached out.
Li Yuan immediately put away the oak hammer and said with a smile:
"I'll give it to you after you get off the plane, otherwise it will be difficult to go through security."
Edward missed his target, but still gratefully hugged Li Yuan.
"Li Yuan, you'll be my brother for life!"
Li Yuan pushed Edward hard.
At the same time, his eyes darted around to those looking at him, and he muttered a curse under his breath:
"Damn it! Let go of me!"
After some playful fighting, the two boarded a plane back to Los Angeles.
Throughout the nearly two-hour journey, Li Yuan remained on edge.
His gaze swept over every passenger and every corner of the cabin.
Even the flight attendants passing by couldn't help but take a second look.
This unusual behavior put the air marshals, who were hidden among the passengers, on high alert throughout the flight.
I thought I had encountered terrorists!
Fortunately, this trip was smooth sailing, without any further setbacks.
Li Yuan and Edward successfully returned to bustling Los Angeles.
However, as soon as Li Yuan got off the plane, he received a call from Kaplan.
