The middle-aged woman began knocking on the door, and Leo pulled Coral aside, whispering, “Coral, you shouldn’t go in there. The scene inside is creepy and I’m afraid you’ll have nightmares if you see it.”
Coral nodded and told Leo to be careful.
After knocking for a while with no answer from Jasiah, the middle-aged woman twisted the doorknob. The door was locked from the inside so she had to use a key to open it.
As soon as the door opened, a cold chill swept over them. Maverick hesitated whether or not to go in.
The middle-aged woman called out Jasiah’s name and turned on the lights in his room.
At that moment when the light came on, Jasiah sitting at his computer desk put down his embroidery shoes and screamed before jumping onto his bed. He covered himself tightly with blankets while shaking uncontrollably.
The embroidery shoes and white candles made the middle-aged woman pause for a moment. She didn’t know where Jasiah got these things from. She walked over to him gently saying, “Jasiah, don’t be afraid. I brought a master here to help cure your illness so you will get better.”
Jasiah didn’t say anything but continued shivering under his blanket.
The middle-aged woman tried pulling back Jasiah’s blanket but just as her hand was about to touch it, he suddenly screamed, “No! Don’t grab me! Please don’t punish me anymore!”
Leo walked up beside her quietly saying, “Let me handle this.”
She nodded taking one step back.
Leo had already sensed a sinister aura emanating from Jasiah and suspected that he had come into contact with something unclean.
Leo projected his Spiritual Power, creating a special fluctuation that enveloped Jasiah, causing his body to gradually stop trembling.
Leo reached out and slowly pulled back the covers on Jasiah, revealing his face. The middle-aged woman was so frightened that she kept stepping back, almost sitting on the floor. She muttered, “How can this be? How did my son’s face become like this!?”
Maverick, who was standing beside them, also saw Jasiah’s face and exclaimed, “A split face!”
At that moment, Jasiah, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
One eye was white, the other black. The white eye was on the black half of his face, and the black eye was on the white half. The most chilling part was the eerie smile hanging on his face!
The middle-aged woman screamed and sat on the floor, and Maverick also retreated in shock.
Leo, who was prepared mentally, stabilized himself and formed a hand seal with one hand, striking Jasiah’s split face.
Jasiah’s eyes closed again, and the eerie smile on his lips disappeared.
Leo covered him with the blanket and then turned to take a look at the embroidered shoe on the computer desk. He said, “Let’s go out for now.”
In the living room downstairs, the middle-aged woman was frantic, almost on the verge of tears. “What am I going to do? Mr. Bloomer, please, you have to save my son.”
Leo reassured her, saying, “Mrs. Carpenter, don’t worry. I will definitely help your son. But before that, I need to understand some things from you.”
When Leo saw Jasiah’s split face, he had already made up his mind to take action.
If a split face appeared on Jasiah’s face, it meant he had become the target of a possession, and the target was his soul. After forty-nine days, Jasiah’s life soul would dissipate, and at that time, his soul and spirit could be extracted and attached to a recipient.
This was an extremely vicious evil technique. Once successful, the created entity…
Leo’s intuition told him that this was the work of a Demon Cultivator or a Ghost Cultivator.
“Mrs. Carpenter, did your son show any unusual behavior recently?” Leo asked.
“Unusual behavior?” Lacey furrowed her brow, pondering for a moment before recalling something. “Well, there was something a bit strange recently. Normally, after dinner, Jasiah rarely went out. But recently, right after dinner, he would leave and wouldn’t return until after midnight. When asked where he went, he wouldn’t say.”
Leo nodded thoughtfully. “Mrs. Carpenter, is there a cemetery near your village?”
“Yes, it’s on the west side of the village. The soil there is poor and not suitable for farming, so over time, it has been used as a cemetery. It’s about two kilometers away to the west of the village,” Lacey replied truthfully.
Leo stood up from the sofa. “I believe the issue with your son is related to the cemetery in the west.”
“Mrs. Carpenter, I have put your son to sleep for now. Please find a plastic bag and pack the embroidered shoe for me. I’m going to the cemetery on the west side of the village,” Leo instructed.
Lacey agreed and found a plastic bag from the cupboard. She had a nervous and worried expression on her face as she headed back upstairs.
“I’ll go with you!” Coral mustered up her courage and said.
Leo whispered a few words in Coral’s ear, causing her determined expression to turn into fear and terror.
“Hmph!”
Leo felt a sudden pain in his waist, “Then you go, be careful.”
Soon, Lacey came downstairs and handed Leo the plastic bag containing the embroidered shoe. “Mr. Bloomer, I’m counting on you for everything.”
Leo took the embroidered shoe and nodded. “Mrs. Carpenter, Master Frazier, please take care of my friend while I’m gone. If everything goes well, I’ll be back before dawn.”
“Mr. Bloomer, don’t mention it. My cultivation level is too low to be of any help. I’m truly embarrassed,” Maverick’s face showed some awkwardness.
Leo left Lacey’s house, holding the embroidered shoe, and headed straight for the cemetery to the west.
While Leo was making his way to the western cemetery, it was not peaceful there.
Ten graves had already been dug open, and ten decaying coffins were arranged in a peculiar formation: in the center, one coffin served as the center point, with a radius of three meters, forming a circular arrangement of nine coffins.
Sitting in a triangular shape around the nine coffins were three individuals.
These three individuals were all dressed in black clothes with hats covering their heads, making their faces indiscernible.
At this moment, they had their hands clasped together, chanting something in their mouths, as if reciting a spell.
A black aura swirled and flowed around them, giving off an extremely eerie and strange appearance.
As the three individuals simultaneously changed their hand gestures, one of the coffins arranged in a circular formation made a “crack” sound. Then, the coffin lid shattered, and a corpse stood up from inside.
The flesh and blood of the corpse hadn’t completely rotted away, emitting a foul stench. One could even see maggots crawling on its flesh and bones.
The three individuals began to form hand seals and simultaneously struck towards the standing corpse inside the coffin.
