"Very good, you're full of spirit."
Sun Yan nodded in satisfaction. Elise's personality seed to be the complete opposite of Sosia's; she was more lively.
This seed like it would be a good thing for the typically somber atmosphere of the graveyard.
Suddenly, Sun Yan rembered sothing and quickly asked, "Elise, why did you and those three people die in the Mississippi River?"
Hearing this question, even Sosia couldn't help but show a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
If an ordinary person accidentally drowned, it would still be possible, but how did Elise, a mber of the Blood Race, do sothing so foolish?
Elise's eyes beca dazed, yet Sun Yan's question had stirred up so old mories.
She slowly said, "I only rember taking so humans willing to beco Bloodline of the Morolick Clan back from Michigan, and we happened to encounter a gang fight on the way. The ship was blown up on the Mississippi River, and many people died. I fell into the river at that ti."
"So that's how it was. But was there such a tragedy in Mississippi in recent months? I don't recall anything like that happening—what day was it when your accident occurred?"
"2002."
Sun Yan exclaid, what a surprise—it never crossed his mind that Elise, who looked like a little girl, was actually an older woman in terms of age.
If she hadn't died back then and lived until now, she could have been Sun Yan's aunt.
This ans that Elise's four bodies existed in the Mississippi River for more than twenty years, and the local state governnt didn't do anything about it.
Arica's efficiency is truly suffocating.
After clearing up the cause of Elise's death, Sun Yan's doubts were resolved, so he took Elise back to the main house.
He chose a guest room on the first floor for her to live in thereafter.
"For the necessities of life and clothes for changing, I'll take you to the town's supermarket tomorrow morning to buy them. Tonight, you'll have to make do and wear my clothes for the ti being."
Sun Yan handed over his white T-shirt to Elise, letting her take a shower.
Sun Yan, with a height of 182cm, found that his white T-shirt just fit Elise as a dress.
Although she had regained her original appearance after resurrection, Elise still exuded a lingering damp, fishy sll from being subrged in water for too long.
If this wasn't thoroughly cleaned, Sun Yan had no way to keep Elise in the main house.
"Thank you for your help, dear Tomb Guardian." Elise took the white T-shirt and said sweetly.
"No worries, I'll go back to rest first. If you have any questions, you can find on the second floor. Also, from now on, just call Jackson."
Sun Yan waved his hand and turned to leave.
...
As an adult, the scariest thing is a ssed-up biological clock.
After an all-nighter, Sun Yan had slept the entire day, but now lying in bed, he had no sleepiness at all and could only pass the ti by playing on his phone out of boredom.
It must be said that the internet in North Arica is truly unrestrained; you can see anything on X (forrly Twitter).
So people even post uncensored videos to attract traffic, and there are steamy photos taken for the welfare gig.
Those are truly eye-opening, with not a single fabric visible on the body.
Sun Yan savored the recomnded posts on X, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck his mind.
In this internet age, as a young person, how could he still stick to the old ways of relying solely on word-of-mouth to promote his business?
He must catch this internet traffic trend to expand.
"Doing exorcism only in California limits the number of clients and requires competing with local churches; instead, why not expand the business across North Arica."
Sun Yan imdiately sat up from the bed and changed his X account na to 'Exorcist - Jackson.'
Normally, Sun Yan wasn't keen on posting on X. For him, X's biggest function was viewing so 18R content.
But now that he intended to use this account for business, its purpose was different. He had to post more content to attract others' attention.
X hosts such a large amount of traffic and users, surely among them, there are people encountering strange events who would choose to seek his assistance and pay for the exorcism service.
With swift typing, Sun Yan quickly published the first post on his account.
"Exorcist - Jackson: Providing funeral services, exorcism, and evil-repelling services, with ten years of experience in exorcism, proficient and efficient thods, capable of eliminating any Evil Spirit or Devil. If you encounter haunted houses or monsters in your life, please direct ssage, finding would be your best choice, price negotiable, appointnts available soon."
Soon after posting, Sun Yan received three likes and a follow.
Unsurprisingly, they were all from content sellers or bots, but Sun Yan paid no heed to it.
Without built-in traffic, it was natural for a post to not receive much attention, so he just needed to patiently wait for destined clients like Jiang Taigong.
The next day.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Sun Yan was awakened by a series of dog barks. Slowly opening his eyes, he instinctively picked up his phone on the bedside table to find several unread ssages on the screen.
Unexpectedly, they were notification ssages from his X account, where a netizen had privately ssaged him an hour ago.
Sun Yan imdiately perked up and quickly opened X.
"Robert Downey Jr. of California: Hello, Mr. Jackson, you claim to be an exorcist, is this true?"
"Robert Downey Jr. of California: If you see this ssage, please reply when you have ti."
Sun Yan rubbed his eyes and imdiately typed a response.
"Exorcist - Jackson: Hello, sir, of course it's true. Exorcism is my job. If you need help, please tell what difficulties you've encountered, and I will charge based on your situation. If you're just curious and ca for fun, I might not reply again."
Although the other person had sent the ssage over an hour ago, once Sun Yan replied, they promptly responded like a second-hand one.
"Robert Downey Jr. of California: That's wonderful. I indeed have been experiencing a troubleso, or rather peculiar, situation recently. Exorcist sir, so things are inconvenient to discuss online; can we et offline to talk?"
"Exorcist - Jackson: I'm very busy. To hire , for any matter, the starting price is 2000 US Dollar, exorcism unfinished—refund guaranteed. If you've decided, we can et offline."
"Robert Downey Jr. of California: Deal. My location is in Phoenix City, Arizona; you need to co over."
Sun Yan didn't expect business to co so suddenly; he had just slept, and soon he would have 2000 US Dollar coming in.
In an instant, he was in a great mood, and the irritation from being awakened by the dog's barking vanished completely.
He went to the window, opened it, and leaned out to see Elise, wearing his white T-shirt, playing with Dahuang outside the main house.
Dahuang usually didn't have a playmate, and encountering the lively Elise now, it was like a different dog, with its tongue hanging out.
Those who have raised dogs know that this is an expression of joy in dogs.
"Elise, this Blood Race mber, is really unique. Not only is she unafraid of sunlight, but she also enjoys getting up early. Is it because her bloodline has mutated from soaking in water?" Sun Yan thought to himself while watching Elise from the window.
After a deep breath of the cool morning air in the graveyard, Sun Yan grabbed his notebook and checked the day's routine tasks.
——
Routine Task [Improve Your Graveyard]
Task Difficulty: ☆
Task Brief: Graves and headstones are the most classic combination. A grave without a headstone is just an anonymous mound, severely affecting the beauty of the graveyard. It's ti to add what's necessary to those graves.
Task Requirent: Install new headstones for 10 graves
Task Reward: Spirit Communication Necklace (wearer will possess Yin-Yang Eye)

"This task is sowhat trivial. I already have the Celestial Eye Divine Power of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, so the Yin-Yang Eye won't be of use to . However, it's better than nothing. It's also possible to let Sosia or Elise use it."
Sun Yan walked out of the room, intending to assign this task to Sosia to handle.
anwhile, he planned to take Elise to the town to buy clothes and daily necessities, then drive to Phoenix City, Arizona, to et with that client.
Currently, Sun Yan didn't know when Bloody Sunday would arrive, so he had to ensure the production of the Demon-Slaying Crossbow Tower was completed before its appearance.
Otherwise, there would always be an unease in his heart, as if a giant invisible stone hung over his head.
