Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Evil Spirit Incident at the Police Station
Shajiao District Police Station.
"It’s a real pleasure to receive a gift from Father Jackson despite his busy schedule, and thank you, beautiful lady, for making a special trip. This truly is a fine piece of art."
Standing in the police station lobby, Henry held the Earth Shrine that Sosia handed over, admiring it with a smile.
Sosia introduced seriously: "Jackson said you can place this Earth Shrine in a crowded place. It’s best if someone offers incense to the Earth God every day. As long as there is incense, the Earth God can bless this area from being harassed by evil spirits. This is the incense Jackson gifted you, and if you run out, you can buy more in Chinatown."
"Really? That’s wonderful."
Henry immediately returned to his office, placed the Earth Shrine on the standing air conditioner, and took out the incense given by Sun Yan, lighting three sticks and inserting them inside the shrine.
"I saw some other Chinese doing this before—offering incense is like this, right?" Henry cheerfully put his hands together toward the Earth Shrine and bowed three times.
Sosia shrugged indifferently: "Maybe, I’m not too sure about this either."
She had come to Saint Anna City this time just to fulfill a commission from Sun Yan, and now that the item was in Chief Henry’s hands, it was time for her to return to Gospel Town.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
At this moment, the strip lights in the office began to flicker violently, alternating between bright and dim, making it quite uncomfortable for the eyes.
Henry grumbled toward the door: "Mike! Is it another short circuit with the wires? I told you to hire a professional electrician."
However, outside the office was silent, and no matter how loudly Henry shouted, no one responded at this time.
Henry was immediately frustrated and walked outside, hands on hips, yelling: "Mike! Where did you run off to?"
But before he could finish, Henry froze in place, gazing incredulously at the empty police station lobby, too shocked to speak.
Just before he entered the office, there were dozens of people here, but now it was empty as if everyone had suddenly vanished, making it especially eerie.
Only at the end of the corridor, standing next to the water cooler, was a figure in a police uniform facing away, motionless.
"Mike?" Henry slowly gripped his gun handle at his waist, asking uncertainly.
Bam!
A chandelier at the end of the corridor suddenly went out, plunging that area into quiet darkness.
Bam!
Then a second chandelier went out, and darkness began spreading toward where Henry stood.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
At this moment, the lights in the corridor went out one after another, approaching Henry from afar.
In the shadows, a figure seemed to be closing in, and as the last light went out, darkness enveloped Henry’s vision entirely.
A pale face with disheveled hair suddenly flew out from the darkness, rushing menacingly toward the unresponsive Henry.
It was too late to draw a gun, and just as Henry was about to be bitten, a hand suddenly grabbed his collar, forcefully pulling him into the office.
The door closed.
"F**K! What was that? An evil spirit? How can there be an evil spirit in our police station?"
Henry, pulled back in time by Sosia, was terrified, cold sweat on his back. Panting heavily, he asked Sosia, pale-faced.
"Not sure, but the situation doesn’t look good. It seems we are trapped in this place, and we can’t guarantee that thing outside can’t break in."
Sosia calmly took out the General Enhancing Puppet from her pocket, which Sun Yan had her carry for protection.
With her werewolf bloodline, Sosia had no concerns about monsters, but her methods against evil spirits were somewhat lacking.
With the Cemetery Entry ’Divination Child’ and the General Enhancing Puppet for divination, Sosia could effectively make up for this shortcoming.
Werewolf + divination, even without magical artifacts, Sosia’s exorcism capabilities against evil spirits surpassed even Sun Yan’s.
Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!
The office door resounded with urgent knocking, as if the thing outside was trying to smash the door open, soon causing cracks to appear on the door surface.
Henry drew his handgun, assuming a shooting stance, having disregarded everything else, solely focused on emptying every bullet into that damn thing.
Bam!
As the door panel shattered, a head flew in from outside, and Henry immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The gunfire echoed in the office, emptying the magazine in less than three seconds.
But the result was unexpected. The head evaded all the bullets like a phantom, letting out a chilling laugh: "Hehe~"
Henry’s heart sank, his face drained of color.
If even bullets couldn’t contend with this evil spirit, then what could be done?
This was a woman’s head with disheveled hair, deeply sunken eye sockets, purple-blue skin, and a long tongue hanging down like an evil ghost.
Even more chilling was a dangling white neck bone beneath the head, connected with intestines, waving like tentacles as it flew, making one’s hairs stand on end.
As Henry finished firing the bullets, the head opened its mouth wide, exposing sharp teeth ready to bite Henry’s neck.
Seeing her about to succeed, a fist suddenly struck from the side, landing a powerful blow on the woman’s head.
The head bounced off like a ball, crashing into a nearby wall.
Sosia, with three incense sticks on top of her head, took two false steps followed by one solid, rapidly advancing toward the woman’s head with Three-Step Praise. Her eyes and demeanor had noticeably changed—the divination was successful, and General Enhancing had taken over her body.
In the moment the woman’s head met Sosia’s gaze, it let out a miserable scream. A sudden gale blew through the office, scattering countless files everywhere, obscuring Sosia’s view, momentarily making the woman’s head disappear from sight.
Sosia tensed up, watching her surroundings warily. The evil spirit encountered this time was truly bizarre, making one have to stay vigilant.
Suddenly, the silhouette of the woman’s head appeared behind Sosia. Its intestines aimed to strangle Sosia, intending to choke this being who wasn’t ordinary.
But she underestimated the power of General Enhancing. Inviting the god into one’s body wasn’t merely talk.
Sosia grabbed backward, seizing the woman’s head and forcefully slammed it onto the ground. Her fists hammered down like heavy hammers, pounding the face of the woman’s head.
A weak red glow enveloped Sosia’s fists, covering her hands as she struck the woman’s head, spraying green blood from its mouth and collapsing its nasal bridge. As she was on the verge of being beaten to death by Sosia, the head suddenly coughed blood and spat.
Immediately, numerous bats erupted from her mouth, launching a frenzied attack on Sosia.
As Sosia loosened her grip to swat away the bats, the woman’s head flew up, retreating desperately without looking back, shattering the window and quickly disappearing without a trace.
After her departure, the bats left in the office began to explode one after another, leaving a pool of blood on the floor.
...
Amidst the busy lobby of the police station, every officer was preoccupied with their work.
Bam Bam Bam!
Suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out from the chief’s office, startling all the officers.
"Chief Henry!"
They all hurried into the office to check, immediately witnessing a horrifying scene.
The office was in utter chaos, files and documents scattered on the floor, soaked in blood.
Henry sat dazed on the ground, unable to recover from the bizarre events just now.
Only Sosia, looking at the strand of hair she just pulled from the woman’s head, felt puzzled: "What on earth was that thing?"
"A Flying Head Monster."
At this moment, Sun Yan’s voice suddenly echoed in Sosia’s mind, startling the fierce Wolf Girl.
"Jackson?"
