Chapter 90 Edward's Exorcism
The car is in motion.
Edward recounted the events to Li Yuan in fits and starts.
Just recently, Edward arrived at the firm.
A red-haired girl followed them in.
She said her name was Lina and hoped Edward could contact Li Yuan to help with an exorcism at her home.
Since Li Yuan was not around, Edward, who was determined to exorcise the demon on his own, subtly inquired about the reason for the incident.
It turns out the girl's father passed away unexpectedly.
Only the mother, Alice, was left to take care of her two daughters.
With no other source of income, they could only make a living by swindling people and telling fortunes.
One day, the mother brought home a psychic board, intending to update her scams and increase her income.
The mother and her two daughters then played a psychic game at home.
However, this game brought utter disaster to the mother and her two daughters.
An evil spirit, summoned through the spirit board, possessed the youngest daughter, Doris.
Lina keenly sensed something was wrong, but her mother didn't think so.
She only thought it was her husband's soul, accompanying the family of three.
Today, Lina saw the news about Li Yuan.
That's when they rushed to the firm for help.
After hearing what had happened, Edward was eager to try it out.
He had once heard Raphael say that the evil spirits summoned by the spirit board were generally weak and easy to deal with.
Edward also received equipment and potions from Li Yuan.
This gave him great confidence, and he decided to deal with the evil spirit himself.
Lina had some doubts about whether Edward was reliable or not.
But after hearing Edward's statement that he wouldn't accept the money...
Lina happily agreed immediately.
She knew her family didn't have much money to begin with, and they were being pressured by the bank to pay off their mortgage.
If they don't pay up soon, the mother and her two daughters will be homeless.
Sitting in the Mustang, Lena looked at Edward with a glint in her eyes.
Maybe if I find a rich boyfriend, my mother and sister won't be kicked out of the house.
Unexpectedly, just as Edward's car arrived at Lena's house, he bumped into Lena's boyfriend, McKee, who had come to ask her to go to the movies.
McGee stared at his girlfriend as she stepped out of the sports car and angrily questioned her:
"Lina! Who is he?"
Seeing this, Lina turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.
"Who he is is none of your business. McGee, you can go now, I have things to do."
With that, she took Edward's hand and walked quickly towards home.
Edward was somewhat embarrassed by the sudden turn of events.
He had no choice but to be pulled into the house by Lina.
Edward thought to himself:
"I never expected to encounter something like this while performing an exorcism."
McGee stared incredulously at the two leaving, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He glanced at Edward's car beside him, secretly wanting to get revenge.
After much hesitation, he finally sighed and left silently.
When Lina opened the door to her house, she was surprised to find her younger sister, Doris, standing in the doorway smiling at her.
Lina looked at her with some fear and asked nervously:
"Doris...where's Mom?"
"Mom is talking to the priest upstairs."
Hearing that a priest was also present, Lina immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems things should be resolved smoothly today.
Edward followed him in at that moment.
He looked at the cute little girl in front of him and greeted her with a smile:
"Hello, Doris."
Doris's sweet smile vanished the moment she saw Edward.
Her voice suddenly became very deep, as if it were that of a grown man:
"You reek of nausea! Die!"
Doris roared as her eyes rolled back.
A powerful impact struck Edward.
Edward, who weighs nearly 300 pounds, was sent flying!
A muffled thud!
Edward fell heavily to the corner of the wall.
The items in my backpack were scattered all over the ground!
He endured the pain and grabbed the oak hammer that was sticking out from under his arm.
Struggling to his feet, he rushed toward Doris!
Feeling the holy light emanating from the oak hammer,
Doris deftly flipped over, hanging upside down from the ceiling, thus dodging Edward's attack!
Edward shouted at Lina, who was standing to the side in a daze:
"Get out of here! Don't get in the way!"
At that moment, he remembered Li Yuan's words.
When performing an exorcism, make sure the ordinary people leave first, otherwise they will only cause trouble!
Upon hearing this, Lina didn't dare to delay and quickly opened the door and fled.
The priest and Alice, who heard the commotion upstairs, rushed downstairs in a great hurry.
Doris saw someone following them and a wicked smile crept onto her lips:
"You want to save her? Then come with us!"
With that, he flashed away and quickly escaped into the basement.
Alice looked anxiously in the direction her daughter had disappeared.
He tried to chase after them, but Edward stopped him.
"Don't go over there, an ordinary person can't handle it!"
Looking at Edward, who was holding an oak mallet, the priest asked warily:
"Who are you?"
"I'm an exorcist; Lina found me."
Edward explained his identity.
Then, with some concern, he said:
"The evil spirits inside are too powerful; we might not be able to handle them."
Although the priest agreed with Edward,
Considering the current situation, I can only say in a low voice:
"But if we don't go with her, Doris might be in mortal danger."
Upon hearing the priest's words, Alice, who loved her daughter dearly, pushed Edward away and ran quickly towards the basement.
For Alice, the threat of the evil spirit was clearly not as important as her daughter's life.
Seeing this, Edward and the priest had no choice but to hurry after them.
As soon as the two entered the basement, they saw Alice, who had come in earlier, standing blankly at the door.
Its eyes had turned white, indicating that it had been possessed.
Edward was startled and instinctively raised his oak hammer, smashing it down on Alice.
The kind-hearted Edward deliberately hit Alice on the shoulder with the hammer so as not to accidentally hurt her.
The priest beside him recited from the Bible.
The intention was to suppress this evil spirit with the power of God.
Alice dodged the blow by a slight movement, but was still hit in the arm by the oak hammer.
When Alice's arm touched the oak hammer imbued with holy light, a wisp of black smoke immediately rose from her body.
She then screamed and collapsed to the ground, her body limp.
"You damned exorcist, what exactly is that thing in your hand?!"
Doris's petite figure reappeared before everyone.
The once fair-skinned and adorable little girl now had prominent bluish veins on her face.
His eyes turned yellow, and his face became exceptionally ferocious.
Doris turned her head sharply, stared at the priest reciting the Bible beside her, and waved her little hand!
"You're too noisy! Go to hell!"
As Doris moved, the priest's body crashed against the wall like a kite with a broken string.
With a crisp "click" sound,
The priest's neck was broken, and he died by the wall.
Edward stared wide-eyed at the dead priest.
He suppressed his fear and lunged at Doris, trying to drive away the evil spirit.
But the girl, who had previously looked ferocious, suddenly became normal.
She looked at Edward pitifully, blinking her innocent big eyes, and said:
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Edward immediately stopped what he was doing, but the evil spirit's voice came from behind him again:
"Haha, poor fatso, your mercy will eventually get you killed!"
Edward turned around in surprise and found Alice standing up again, smiling at him with a ferocious expression.
