The mont Sophie saw the bloody imprint, she knew Diana left it.
"Diana!"
Sophie ran out of the treatnt room like crazy.
A few days later.
The ntal hospital announced bad news.
A girl nad Diana died in the treatnt room due to "ineffective rescue."
Although the patients knew this wasn't the case.
But under pressure from the hospital's higher-ups, plus Diana's usual discord with everyone.
So this matter was quickly swept under the rug.
Only Sophie remained imrsed in the grief of Diana's passing.
Her depression worsened day by day, and her spirit remained weak.
Until one day.
Sophie saw Diana's shadow in the ward again.
...
The mory ended here.
William also found the connection point for Diana's possession.
"So it was because of excessive longing and weak spirit. That gave Diana an opportunity."
Now that the crux of the problem was found, he began the exorcism.
William first took out an amulet and put it around Sophie's neck.
Then he gently placed his hand on the top of her head.
"Your kindness saved Diana; you are a trustworthy friend..."
William used [Psychological Counseling] to lead Sophie, soothing this lonely soul among countless mory fragnts after Diana's death.
Under the influence of his words, Sophie in the mory fragnts felt a force.
This force was peaceful, quiet, and heartwarming.
Sophie only felt that Diana's death seed to be moving away from her.
That chair in the treatnt room was also kept out.
Sophie's mind seed to fly out of the ntal hospital, high into the sky.
Looking at the quiet dense forest in the distance, the squirrels foraging on the grass.
Life seed... a bit more interesting than before?
This was a state she had never experienced.
Sophie saw her dead husband, saw her daughter waiting for her, saw her son running toward her.
"These are the people important to ," Sophie murmured.
Inside the house.
Diana also realized sothing was wrong.
The connection between it and Sophie was weakening continuously. The once inseparable bond was about to break at this mont.
"No!"
Diana growled.
It braved the sunlight, trying to get close to Sophie.
But how could evil exist under the light?
Diana was scorched black all over, and its figure disappeared by half imdiately.
Just before the connection with Sophie broke, Diana made a choice.
It actively gave up parasitizing Sophie and instead connected itself with the shadow of the house.
In this way, Diana would be trapped in this house, unable to leave even after dark.
But at least it stayed in the human world. Given enough ti, it could find the next connector.
With this thought, the remaining half of Diana's body also turned to ash in the sunlight.
"It's purified!"
Martin shouted, excitedly asking Bret to untie him.
The latter glanced at the priest but received no response.
So Bret decided not to move for the ti being.
Aside, William also completed comforting Sophie.
"Thank you."
Sophie's eyes were already wet; she felt sothing pressing on her disappear.
At the sa ti, she also felt a desire for life in her heart.
For a depressed patient, this feeling was precious.
"Mom!"
Rebecca also ran over and hugged her mother tightly.
Rebecca had waited more than ten years for this mont of warmth.
"Bret! Untie quickly; my family is reuniting!" Martin twisted his body, his tone anxious.
He didn't want to miss such a mont.
But Bret remained unmoved, still looking at William.
This ti he got a response.
So Bret walked behind Martin and untied the rope.
After a brief reunion, Sophie's family ca to William.
"Father... I really don't know how to thank you."
Rebecca wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Shh."
But William interrupted them.
"The exorcism ritual is not finished yet."
Several people looked confused.
"But, that monster just now clearly..."
William shook his head:
"A very important point in resisting evil spirits—never trust evil spirits."
"They are very cunning and likely to pretend to be purified, but actually continue to hide until they possess the next innocent person."
He said, pointing to the house.
"Maybe it's hiding in so shadow of the house right now."
The last sentence wasn't a blind guess.
Relying on the Demon-Trapping Array, William sensed a slight evil aura.
On the other hand, he rembered that at the end of the original work, the director indeed left a suspense.
This was the consistent style of Arican horror stories, which could scare the audience and lay the foreshadowing for possible sequels.
But this also ant the evil spirit was not completely eliminated.
Sophie's family admired the priest's ticulousness upon hearing this.
Such a professional attitude was really reassuring!
On the other side, William took out the Exorcism Bible and turned to the "Light" chapter.
"My Lord, bestow power upon , so that evil on earth has nowhere to hide..."
Accompanied by William's voice and the blessing of the holy artifacts around the house.
Rebecca and others were surprised to find that the sunlight seed to co alive at this mont.
They gathered at the window, like clear water, flowing into the room along the window sill.
Despite many obstacles, the sunlight still reached every corner, dispelling all shadows.
"No!"
Everyone was watching intently when they suddenly heard a roar from inside the house.
Imdiately after, Diana's figure appeared again, only much smaller.
Rebecca covered her mouth, not expecting the evil spirit to really be hiding at ho.
She felt a lingering fear.
If her family had moved in just like that, Rebecca dared not think about the consequences.
At this ti, she finally understood how dangerous her act of facing the evil spirit alone was.
"Fortunately, the Father is here!"
Rebecca rejoiced imnsely in her heart.
But the one inside didn't think so.
At this mont, Diana hated William to the extre.
Clearly, it had taken the initiative to expose itself to the sunlight!
Clearly, it had been eliminated in front of everyone!
Why!
Why didn't this damn priest leave!
Diana couldn't understand that there was such a cunning human in the world!
Compared to this one, the tricks it used before were like a baby in swaddling clothes!
Diana also tried to approach the window to negotiate with that damn priest.
But the flowing sunlight pressed step by step, soon trapping it in a small shadow.
"Found you."
William didn't hesitate and imdiately took out a bottle of holy water and entered the house.
At this ti, the entire house was under his control, so Diana couldn't interfere with the surroundings anymore.
"Wai... wait a..."
Seeing the priest co in, Diana felt a glimr of hope and hurriedly spoke, trying to stop him.
But before it could finish, William splashed a bottle of water.
A puff of white smoke rose from the shadow.
For the next ten minutes.
William used the crucifix, the Holy Amulet, holy water, the Exorcism Bible, and the surrounding light in turn to purify this shadow.
Until this patch of ground turned white, he finally stopped.
At dusk.
"To be safe, I suggest you move in a few days later."
William packed up his things and instructed.
"Of course, it's best to raise a few pets."
"I know!"
At this ti, Rebecca raised her hand.
"Pets have keener senses than humans and can detect accidents earlier!"
William nodded upon hearing this: "What else?"
"Respect the opinions of pets!" Martin answered quickly from the side.
Seeing their safety awareness improve, William was gratified.
In this way, his safety in the West District would also be greatly improved.
What William didn't know was that under his influence, the North Arican people were developing in a strange direction.
After taking the paynt, he said goodbye to Sophie's family.
On the way back to the church, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"Brother William! It's Ren. Sothing happened!"
On the other end of the phone, Ren's tone was a bit urgent, but he still deliberately lowered his voice.
"Our church's Bishop Julius, his only illegitimate daughter is missing!"
