Its eyes were completely white, its body covered with whip marks, looking truly pitiful.
Sosia was somewhat puzzled: "Them? Who are they?"
"Leave quickly, go now, or else when they discover you, you'll be in danger."
The little girl shook her head and then disappeared into the wall.
Not long after Sosia left, the ghost of the little girl in the gray dress reappeared in the hall.
She bowed her head in sorrow, clasped her hands on her chest in prayer: "Merciful Holy Mother Mary, please lend your aid, protect her."
Inside the monastery, the original windows and doors had long been sealed with planks.
The doors were painted with crosses and angels, looking as if they were sealing something.
As Sosia advanced, she scanned her surroundings with her phone camera so that the audience in the livestream could get a first-person experience.
[User VET445mkj: This place looks really off, where would a monastery paint angels on their door boards? That's a method to ward off demons.]
[Iron Man from San Francisco: That last spirit-searching livestreamer seemed to have seen an evil spirit in this place, but they didn't capture its image, and instead that streamer was so scared they fled the monastery.]
[Dehors: Do evil spirits really exist in this world? I feel like they're all fake; otherwise, why are all the photos of evil spirits online blurry?]
[Sniper Left Ear: I've never seen one, but I believe they exist; it's just that those in power won't let us know about it.]
…
The hallway was filled with many paintings, all oil paintings by European artists, untouched for years without cleaning.
The frames of these paintings had accumulated so much dust that it was hard to make out the figures depicted.
As Sosia passed by a dignified and elegant portrait of a noblewoman, the lady's eyes suddenly moved a few times.
Her gaze turned cunning, glancing at Sosia's back as she passed by.
Seeing that she hadn't been discovered, the lady's face twitched, and her entire body floated out of the painting.
Her limbs crawled on the wall like a gecko, quickly approaching Sosia, launching an attack on her back.
"Woof!"
Just as Dahuang sensed something amiss and barked a warning, Sosia's back bristled with coldness.
Her years of instinct as a demon hunter made her turn around instantly, without hesitation, raising her shotgun and pulling the trigger.
Bang!
A shower of bullets sprayed out, all striking the lady's body at close range.
She fell to the ground instantly, clutching her face and letting out a painful scream.
Under the burning corrosion of the holy water, she turned to ashes within seconds, her soul scattered.
"It's an evil spirit."
Watching this scene, Sosia frowned, for even though she had mentally prepared herself before coming,
facing an evil spirit in reality was still unnerving.
Evil spirits and the blood race are completely different threats; even if the blood race is dangerous, they have physical form and do not appear suddenly.
But evil spirits are different, and although Sosia wore a spirit communication necklace, allowing her to see evil spirits,
she couldn't keenly sense every sneaky appearance of the evil spirits. Luckily, before coming, Sun Yan advised her to bring Dahuang along.
Otherwise, Sosia would be in a much more passive situation now.
"Woof woof!"
Dahuang excitedly ran to the pile of the evil spirit's ashes, sniffed, and absorbed a wisp of black energy into its body.
It seemed to really like this black energy, wagging its tail enthusiastically.
Sosia sharpened her focus, continuing to move deep into the monastery.
But the gunshot she just fired had shocked all the livestream viewers, directly capturing everyone's attention.
They all asked in the livestream why Sosia fired the shot, wondering if she had seen something.
Yet knowing that evil spirits were present in the monastery, Sosia naturally couldn't spare a hand to hold her phone for the livestream.
For safety, she stuffed her phone into her pocket, concentrating on holding the demon exorcism shotgun, advancing while checking the surroundings.
Far away in New York City, Sun Yan saw this scene through the livestream and instantly knew Sosia must have encountered something in the monastery.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have forced her to the point of needing to fire a shot.
Ordinary drunks or vagrants Sosia could handle single-handedly, only evil spirits or demons required her to resort to exorcism methods.
