BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ.
The next morning, Chu Feng was jolted from his deep sleep by the buzzing of his phone.
Groggily opening his eyes, Chu Feng irritably glanced at his phone and discovered it was Jas, who had just beco his interdiary.
"Jas, you’d better have a good reason for this!"
The cold, suppressed anger in his voice made Jas, on the other end of the line, involuntarily shiver.
After a glance at the current ti, Jas replied carefully, his expression sheepish, "Chu, I have a client here who can accept the price on our rate card."
"Oh? Which level of Exorcism Task?"
Hearing there was a client, Chu Feng’s mind cleared considerably.
"I’m not quite sure which level, but the client said one hundred thousand US dollars is no problem!"
Listening to Jas, Chu Feng suddenly rembered he hadn’t taught Jas how to distinguish the levels of the Bizarre.
Embarrassed for less than a second, Chu Feng quickly shifted his attention elsewhere.
"Has anyone died at the client’s place?"
"No one so far. The client explained that her husband, previously a cheerful and gentle person, had suddenly changed dramatically. He now talked to himself when alone and had started to dostically abuse her, even trying to kick her out of the house."
After hearing Jas’s account, Chu Feng made a rough assessnt.
It seems to be a weak possession by an Evil Spirit!
Chu Feng rubbed the stubble on his chin and made his decision.
"Jas, we can take this client. Co over to my place right now!"
After giving Jas his new address, Chu Feng got up, washed, and ate a Chinese-style breakfast from the System Store.
After breakfast and so ti later, the doorbell of the villa finally rang.
"Chu, your new ho is just perfect!"
Jas, visiting for the first ti, was completely astonished and kept looking around the villa’s hallways.
"Alright, alright! There’ll be plenty of ti to look around after we’ve taken care of business!"
With that, Chu Feng dragged the still-reluctant Jas into his car.
This client lived in a villa complex in the southern part of Brooklyn.
Following Jas’s directions, they drove for nearly two hours before finally reaching the villa complex where the client lived.
"Chu, that’s the villa over there."
"Alright, call the client."
Chu Feng parked the car on the roadside outside the villa.
After getting out of the car, Chu Feng surveyed the surrounding area while waiting for Jas to contact the client.
On both sides of the road were two rows of uniformly styled townhouses, each with its own front lawn. Behind the villas was a forest.
Just as Chu Feng was admiring the pleasant surroundings, Jas delivered so unsettling news.
"Chu, I’ve called several tis, but there’s no answer from the client! Perhaps her phone isn’t with her."
Chu Feng looked at Jas skeptically. "Are you sure the client lives here?"
"Positive. This is the place!"
"Then let’s go ring the doorbell!"
After speaking, Chu Feng walked directly towards the villa’s front door.
Just as he approached the door, he heard Jas call out with surprise from behind.
"Chu, look there, it’s Ms. Huizi, she’s ho!"
Looking up, Chu Feng saw a petite woman at the villa’s third-floor window, facing them. Jas finally let out a sigh of relief.
Thank God, the first order hasn’t been ssed up!
The client, Yamada Huizi, was a Japanese-Arican who, after marrying a wealthy man, had begun living the kind of life many people dream of.
They waited outside for a long ti, but Yamada Huizi never ca to open the door.
"Hey! Ms. Huizi! It’s , I called you yesterday! Ms. Huizi? Ms. Huizi?..."
When the client didn’t co to the door, Jas looked up at the figure in the window and started shouting, hoping for a response.
"Stop shouting, Jas!"
After taking a closer look at the woman in the window, Chu Feng’s gaze hardened. He waved his hand, imdiately silencing Jas’s shouts, then went to the front of the villa and kicked the front door forcefully.
BANG!
With a loud noise, the front door in front of Chu Feng was kicked right into the villa.
"Oh God! Chu, what are you doing?"
Seeing Chu Feng’s actions, Jas stared, eyes wide, his face a mask of shock.
Ignoring Jas’s astonishnt, Chu Feng flipped his palm, and an exquisite Array Plate appeared in his hand. With a casual toss, the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation enveloped the entire villa.
"Want to know why? Then co in with and see for yourself!"
After saying that, Chu Feng imdiately walked into the villa.
"Chu, wait for !"
Jas didn’t dare stay there alone and hurriedly followed Chu Feng.
On the first floor of the villa, everything appeared normal, without any of the bloody scenes Jas had imagined. It was just eerily quiet; even the chirping of birds from outside the villa had vanished.
Ignoring the surrounding anomalies, Chu Feng went straight to the stairs and ascended to the third floor.
Outside a bedroom on the third floor, Chu Feng said, "Jas, co and see our client!"
After saying this, Chu Feng directly opened the bedroom door.
The scene inside the bedroom terrified Jas so much he stumbled and fell to the ground.
On the bed in the bedroom, a Caucasian man with a large gash across his neck lay there, his expression ferocious.
On the man’s chest, a boning knife, about twenty centiters long, was plunged directly into his heart.
"Look over there, Jas. That must be your Ms. Huizi!"
At the bedroom window, a petite, dark-haired woman was hanging by a steel wire. The wire was very thin, and with the dim lighting in the room, it was no wonder Jas had earlier thought the client was watching him from the window.
"Chu, is this murder, or was it an Evil Spirit? Should we call the police?" Jas, still shaken, stamred.
"Even if it’s the work of an Evil Spirit, my choice... is obviously to call the police! You don’t want to end up on a wanted poster, do you?"
Chu Feng rolled his eyes. This was a villa complex, after all; its residents were either rich or influential. The New York Police Departnt would take any problems here very seriously.
The two waited outside the villa for about half an hour before a black-and-white police car finally drove up.
"Jas, are you sure you told them two people were dead when you called?" Looking at the four detectives getting out of the car, Chu Feng was sowhat astonished.
"Of course! My mory isn’t failing yet!" Jas, having recovered from his shock, replied with certainty.
Watching the detectives approaching, Jas walked up to greet them.
Of course, the detectives’ reaction was quite understandable.
"Stop! Don’t co any closer!"
Jas could only stand helplessly in place, watching the detectives, whose hands were on their holstered guns.
After one detective stepped forward and thoroughly searched Jas, the officers finally relaxed a little.
"Good day. You’re the ones who reported this, correct?" the lead detective asked, showing his badge.
"That’s right, it was us!"
"Okay, tell us what happened."
A female detective stayed behind to take their statents, while the other three detectives went straight into the villa.
