American Exorcism Male God

Xu Yi squatted in front of the hole spouting dark energy and began to inscribe Necromantic Spells, with the circular Spell Matrix enveloping the hole.

In the center of the Spell Matrix, he buried the portrait of Fire Gui halfway.

Dark energy is a complex thing, a blend of grudges, curses, Soul Power, and so on. Trying to suppress the dark energy with just a portrait of Fire Gui was like a fool's dream. Enjoy new tales from empire

Xu Yi hadn't planned on suppressing it here anyway, the Spell Matrix was just a cover.

At the edge of the Array, there was a small patch of ground covered in black moss. Xu Yi took out a Ratma rat's tooth, covered his palm with the Power of Obscurity, and thrust forcefully.

The rat's tooth pierced through the black moss, burying itself entirely underground.

The moment he buried the rat's tooth, Xu Yi, through the authority of the Evil God, could keenly feel the dark forces around being drawn toward the tooth, being absorbed by it.

Xu Yi slowly exhaled and a smile appeared on his face.

It was a success! The Ratma rat's tooth could absorb the dark energy here, slowly completing its Baptism.

He inserted the remaining teeth into the ground as well because he didn't know how much sacred remains he would need to repair the Sacred Red Lotus.

"The rat's teeth absorbing the dark energy here is also a form of suppression, right?"

Xu Yi looked at his setup, and satisfied, patted his hands together.

The Spell Matrix of Necromantic Spells would attract attention, the pierced black moss would quickly grow back, making the rat's teeth even harder to find.

Once the sacred remains of Ratma absorb the dark energy here, their Quality would surely improve. When used to repair Red Lotus, it would probably be more than simply restoring the Holy Artifact.

Baptised sacred remains, refined by celestial fire, Life Cleansing Blade Pool... Xu Yi was curious about what the "repaired" Sacred Red Lotus would become after these three steps.

Xu Yi originally planned to leave. However, he suddenly felt something was missing. Slapping his forehead, he released dozens of cat souls from the Treasure Box.

The cat souls suddenly found themselves in a strange place and became a little panicked. Upon seeing Xu Yi, they calmed down. They circled around Xu Yi, meowing and begging him to take them back into the Treasure Box.

"You eat my food, you live in my place, shouldn't you be of some use?"

Xu Yi shooed the cat souls away while tempting them with a promise, "Stay here and guard well. If someone comes, alert me, and I'll find you some tasty treats."

These cat souls had a special connection with Bastet and could conduct soul communication with Bastet.

"Remember to keep away from this basement, just monitor the surroundings," Xu Yi instructed.

Once he had given his orders, Xu Yi retraced his steps and exited the apartment building, where he encountered the young exorcist who was keeping watch outside.

"Mr. Xu Yi, thank you very much for your efforts. We will guard this place well and ensure that no one enters to disturb the Array you have painstakingly set up," the young exorcist said with a naive smile as he approached.

Xu Yi could only pat the other's shoulder and encouraged, "Keep it up! Young man, the future is yours!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Not only did the other party have to act as free labor to guard Ratma's rat's teeth for him, but he was also thanking him. Capitalists with cold hearts would probably weep if they saw this.

Entos was still directing control operations. Spotting Xu Yi, he immediately came over and pulled Xu Yi to a secluded corner, lowering his voice.

Xu Yi thought Entos would ask about the apartment, but his first words instantly sharpened Xu Yi's focus.

"New York City Hall just sent news that they've located the Ram Cult!"

"Where?" Xu Yi asked urgently.

"You'll know at the police station. Come to think of it, this matter does have something to do with you." Entos looked at Xu Yi, his eyes slightly peculiar.

...…

Accompanied by Entos, Xu Yi arrived at the police station where the chief was already waiting at the entrance and led them to a heavily-guarded interrogation room.

Only one light was on in the interrogation room, shining on the prisoner seated across the table.

Typically, prisoners in interrogation rooms only wear handcuffs, but the one across was actually in a straitjacket, a specially reinforced and thickened one at that.

The person lay inside, unable even to turn their head.

The face shield of the straitjacket obscured the other's face, and Xu Yi could not make out who it was for a moment, only feeling a sense of familiarity.

"Is this the heretic you found?"

Xu Yi was somewhat puzzled; if it were a heretic, they ought to have used a Magic Artifact or something of the sort to constrain the person, rather than a straitjacket designed for violently insane individuals.

The chief of police shook his head, "We can't be sure just yet."

Xu Yi remained silent, waiting for further explanation.

The chief's assistant brought over a metal box, its surface engraved with complex Necromantic Spells. Xu Yi could vaguely guess what was inside.

As the metal box was opened, there lay a bloodstained, ancient-looking dagger. Xu Yi recognized the item inside—it was one of the Cursed Items lost from the Room of Minos, Jack the Ripper's dagger.

"The suspect was caught wielding this dagger, ready to commit murder," the chief explained softly.

Xu Yi glanced at the chief with skepticism. When had New York police become so capable?

And with the means of the Ram Cult, how could the selected bearer of a Cursed Item be so easily captured by the police?

Seeing Xu Yi's confusion, the chief's face colored with embarrassment, and he refrained from boasting, opting instead for the truth, "Actually, we were alerted by a phone call and that's when we responded. By the time we arrived at the scene of the crime, the suspect had already been subdued."

"So you're saying, this person was killed in self-defense during the attempted murder? Who could be that powerful?"

Just as Xu Yi asked, a familiar figure suddenly entered, and his recognition was instantaneous—too familiar, in fact.

"Maria? What are you doing here?"

He suddenly remembered something, turned his head abruptly towards the interrogation room, and stared intently at the man's face, his pupils dilating suddenly.

He finally realized why the man seemed familiar—because the face shield was in the way, and they had only seen each other from a distance a few times, so he hadn't recognized him at first glance.

To his shock, the man was Maria's father, Dan!

Everyone fell silent as Maria, who had been keeping her head down since she walked in, had a vacant look in her eyes, uncertain whether it was from sorrow or anger.

"While the perpetrator was attempting to murder, he first used an anesthetic to knock the target unconscious. When moving the target onto the dissection table, the target suddenly regained consciousness and overpowered the perpetrator," the chief briefed succinctly on the process.

Xu Yi's last flicker of hope shattered; Dan had aimed to eviscerate and murder none other than Maria.

Dan was a cosmetic surgeon, making it extremely easy for him to obtain an anesthetic.

Maria was vulnerable to the effects of the anesthetic, but Ailan inside her was not. With Ailan's strength, even if it were truly Jack the Ripper resurrected, he would stand no chance, let alone an imposter.

But how could a father actually want to kill his own daughter?

Even tigers do not eat their young, and Xu Yi never imagined he would witness such a tragedy, especially one that involved someone he cared about.

Xu Yi walked over to Maria, trying to offer some comfort—as anyone would be distressed in such a situation.

But suddenly, Maria lifted her head, and her eyes were filled with a terrifying ferocity.

Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then realized Ailan was trying to take control of the body, but the next second, the ferocious gaze disappeared, suppressed by Maria.

Yet Ailan only stayed quiet for two seconds before attempting to regain control of the body again.

After several such attempts, Ailan finally settled down.

Xu Yi was slightly astonished; it had been quite some time since this had happened. Ailan and Maria had already privately agreed upon the schedule for using the body.

In Ailan's fierce gaze was a deep-seated hatred, and Xu Yi knew that look was not directed at him but at Dan inside the interrogation room.

What could it be that made Ailan hate Dan to such an extent?

Xu Yi turned his head towards the interrogation room, and after a moment of silence, spoke up, "Let me talk to him!"
