Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: Rage_1
Early in the morning, Atra Blanc delivered a sumptuous breakfast to the upstairs bedroom, not wanting Purple Sumrs to strain herself by going up and down the stairs. Alexander Sumrs also conveniently benefited from his wife’s thoughtfulness and enjoyed a breakfast in bed.
Munching on the delicious food, caressing his wife with one hand, and being waited on by his mother beside him, Alexander felt extrely content and comfortable.
However, that comfort did not last long.
The servant gently knocked on the door: “Sir, Mr. Hayes and Mr. Hunter Dalton are here.”
…
Mr. Ghost Hayes anxiously paced back and forth in the study.
After several rounds, he turned to Hunter to ask, “Hunter, what do you think… How should we put it later?”
Hunter Dalton replied, “Elder, the best would be to tell the truth.”
“Tell the truth? Say that we actually have no way at all?” Mr. Ghost Hayes stared at him with wide eyes, his expression as if saying: Do you think I’m an idiot?
Hunter Dalton opened his mouth as if to say sothing, but upon hearing footsteps approaching, he closed it.
Dressed in casual wear, Alexander Sumrs walked leisurely into the study. Without looking at the two n in the study, he went straight to the desk and sat down behind it.
His thick, short hair was ssy, giving him a listless appearance, and his complexion was especially gloomy, like a lion roused from sleep, lazy yet full of irritability and danger.
Mr. Ghost Hayes’ heart panicked, thumping wildly.
He was already hesitant to speak, and upon seeing Alexander’s deanor, he beca even less inclined to talk.
“What’s the matter?” Alexander asked impatiently, “Has the ghost been caught?”
“Ah… about that, well…” Mr. Ghost Hayes glanced at Hunter Dalton, “We’ve co… just to talk about this. Hunter, you tell him!”
Hunter Dalton looked at Mr. Ghost Hayes: “…”
“What are you looking at for! Just say it already.” Mr. Ghost Hayes gestured with his eyes, urging him on, “Don’t you see Master Xander is waiting?”
Alexander watched them, his brow furrowing tighter, his face growing darker and more sullen.
“Here’s the situation.” Hunter Dalton remained calm and asured, “Yesterday night, the soul-binding bell outside the courtyard rang, which must have been the ghost attempting to approach but was scared away by the bell. Unfortunately, most of the exorcism tools I have are for summoning and collecting souls, and they aren’t very effective against a ghost that has grown powerful. Therefore…”
At this point, Hunter Dalton glanced at Mr. Ghost Hayes next to him, then continued, “Mr. Hayes and I have discussed it, and we believe that to undo the bell’s knot, one must rely on the person who tied it. To completely eliminate the threat, we might have to make a trip back to the ghost village to find a permanent solution.”
Mr. Ghost Hayes thought to himself: Hm… that was well said.
Just then, Alexander let out a cold laugh: “So what you’re saying is, you can’t handle it, right?”
Hunter Dalton remained silent.
Mr. Ghost Hayes didn’t make a sound either.
The study was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After a long while, Alexander grinding his molars, asked them, “What if you don’t find a thod after returning to the ghost village?”
Fearing Alexander’s wrath might extend to the villagers, Mr. Ghost Hayes hastily replied, “This ghost is not an ordinary minor demon! It can seize a person’s body and consu their soul, hiding in the flesh of ordinary people, making it unpredictable to defend against! Naturally, there are countless ways to drive it away or scare it, but to completely eradicate it is not easy! Otherwise, why wouldn’t a ghost exorcist be called a ghost-killing exorcist? Why wouldn’t a ghost-catching taoist priest be called a ghost-killing taoist priest?
Because it’s too difficult! … From a physics standpoint, ghosts are a special type of magnetic energy field, invisible and untouchable; from multi-dinsional space theory, ghosts are a kind of infiltration effect from another space…”
“Shut up!” Alexander shouted angrily.
The volu wasn’t loud, but it made Mr. Ghost Hayes’s heart tremble, and he imdiately fell silent.
With storm clouds gathering in his eyes, Alexander commanded in a low voice, word by word, “The two of you, go to the ghost village imdiately. If you don’t find a thod, you know what I’m capable of.”
Mr. Ghost Hayes turned pale, “Master Xander…”
“Didn’t you say that I lack sufficient virtue?” Alexander said with a harsh laugh, “I’ll set this village of crooked and depraved people ablaze, a benefaction to the people. How does that sound?”
