American Exorcism Male God

The children cleared out the living room while Xu Yi asked Rolin about some details.

The room was small, and Xu Yi had originally planned to take Caroline to a more open space outside to perform the exorcism, but unfortunately, that was impossible.

Caroline was cursed, and if she was forcibly removed from the house, she might die violently.

That's why Rolin hadn't taken her to the church.

"Have you heard of the Salem witch hunt?" Rolin asked in a low voice.

Xu Yi nodded. He was certainly aware of the infamous Salem witch trials from history.

Simply put, it was because of two possessed girls that a large number of innocent witches were captured and subjected to cruel torture and interrogation.

"The Evil Spirit wandering around the house is the reincarnation of a witch from the Salem witch hunt. That wronged witch endured inhuman treatment and, after being released from prison, sacrificed her newborn of just seven days old to Satan by the fireplace," Rolin said.

No wonder the witch had abandoned them and instead pursued Caroline's daughters, Xu Yi suddenly realized.

The witch sacrificed her own flesh and blood to get the attention of Satan.

An Evil Spirit possessing other mothers and then killing their children could achieve a similar effect.

Before coming here, Xu Yi had made some plans, but with Rolin's story, he suddenly had a new idea.

Everything was ready, and the sky had completely darkened.

Almost everything in the living room had been moved out, and the spotlights on the ceiling illuminated the "Array" on the wooden floor, a circle made up of strange symbols.

Caroline was tied to a chair in the center of the Array, and she had been unconscious all the while.

"Let's begin!" Xu Yi took a deep breath, taking the Music Box that Rolin passed to him.

Rolin had searched the whole house. If any item could be the Vessel for the Evil Spirit, it could only be the Music Box in front of them.

The Music Box's spring was wound tight, and the lonely "ding dong" of its music rang out, causing Caroline, who had been unconscious, to suddenly open her eyes, her expression fierce, splitting her mouth in a laugh that was more like a carnivorous beast baring its jaws.

She looked around at everyone, emitting a chilling voice, "You're all going to die!" Read latest stories on empire

Xu Yi couldn't care less about what she had to say, and simply threw the Music Box into the nearby iron bucket, dousing it with gasoline.

The stored hematotic essence was almost depleted, but luckily, there was enough to start a fire.

The gasoline ignited, and the flames roared within the iron bucket, burning the plastic-made Music Box.

Because of a Vessel's instinct, it would forcibly pull out the Evil Spirit when it was about to be destroyed, and Xu Yi had once used this method to dispel the Evil Spirit inside Lisa.

Logically, the Evil Spirit should have been panicked by the destruction of the Vessel.

But there was no panic. Caroline, possessed by the Evil Spirit, let out a sharp laugh with a mocking glint in her eyes, fixedly staring at Xu Yi.

"Don't think about getting rid of me! I will torment her to death!" Caroline's face held a terrifying smile.

"So it's a fake?" Xu Yi's eyes showed no disappointment, clearly having anticipated such an outcome.

The Music Box was just contaminated by the Evil Spirit's resentment and wasn't the actual Vessel.

Not only Xu Yi but the Warrens had also suspected this. Otherwise, they would have started the Exorcism Ritual much earlier.

"Children, it's up to you now. I need your help to save your mother!" Xu Yi turned to look at Caroline's children standing nervously by the wall.

In the end, it was the eldest daughter who summoned the courage first, picking up the sterilized needle from the coffee table and walking to the burning iron bucket.

She pricked her fingertip with the needle, letting blood drip onto the Music Box.

Caroline, possessed by the Evil Spirit, suddenly let out an angry roar, eyeing her eldest daughter with a ravenous gaze as if she wanted to devour her in one bite.

The music box, as a vessel tainted with the evil spirit's resentment, can be seen as an extension of the evil spirit's limb; it could feel the blood dripping on it.

For the evil spirit, if Caroline's daughter's soul was offered to Satan, it was a delightful feast; then the blood of the opponent was the appetizer before the meal.

The evil spirit had long been famished, and now, faced with fresh blood, how could it not be provoked into frenzy?

But this was just the beginning. After Caroline's other children saw what their sister had done, they each mustered the courage to drip their blood on the music box as well.

Caroline had five children, and as the blood of each child dripped in, the evil spirit became increasingly crazed, and Caroline, possessed, struggled violently.

The evil spirit's body suddenly rose high into the air, then crashed heavily back down, trying to use its own weight to crush the stool and break free from the ropes.

But unfortunately for it, Xu Yi was prepared; before the exorcism, he had already replaced the stool with a sturdy steel-backed chair, and chosen nearly unbreakable steel wire ropes.

Let alone a person possessed by a demon, even an elephant would struggle to break free.

Caroline's pupils were dense with blood vessels, and she stared at Xu Yi with eyes filled with hatred.

Xu Yi and Rolin's bodies suddenly tensed.

They were both psychics, able to see the things regular people could not, and a phantom woman's head appeared behind Caroline's head.

Xu Yi silently picked up the Holy Bible, the one given to him by Ed.

The evil spirit could no longer withstand the temptation of the children's blood—the neck suddenly stretched out, snake-like, attempting to bite the children.

The enemy had not completely lost its sanity, only part of its soul had left Caroline's body.

Xu Yi suddenly let out a slow breath.

He had feared a scenario where the evil spirit, unmoved, stayed inside Caroline's body, which would have been very problematic.

Even though only the head had left, an ant hole may cause the collapse of a dike—a departing head was the weakness, and he now had a way to deal with the enemy.

To be accurate, it was a method Ed had thought of in advance.

Xu Yi slowly opened the Holy Bible, where a page had been folded in the middle; he immediately turned to that page, which had only one name on it.

"Bathsheba!" Xu Yi roared out the name.

The evil spirit's head suddenly paused, and a powerful pulling force acted upon it. Realizing something, the spirit struggled desperately.

But Xu Yi did not give it a chance to struggle, as he pulled out the Alchemical Revolver Messiah and aimed at the phantom head of the evil spirit to shoot.

To the common eye, the gunshot was fired into thin air, but Rolin saw clearly—the bullet pierced the evil spirit's head.

The evil spirit let out a miserable scream, losing its only chance to resist, as its soul was dragged out.

Caroline, seated on the stool, suddenly trembled, and then passed out.

Xu Yi closed the Holy Bible; the name written on it was the enemy's true name.

Ordinarily, a true name only affects demons.

Unfortunately for the enemy, it worshipped Satan, who is an Evil God as well as the Demon King; the evil spirit, tainted with Satan's aura, could likewise be compelled by the invocation of its true name.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Furthermore, the Bible given to him by Ed was no ordinary item.

The Bible in his hands was consecrated with a special blessing, allowing the recitation of the true name within to draw out the evil spirit.

"Why does this feel a bit like the Purple Gold Gourd from 'Journey to the West'?" Xu Yi mused to himself, perhaps he should have shouted at the demon, "Bathsheba, I call upon you, do you dare respond?"

Xu Yi set the Holy Bible aside; the Bible was a one-time use item, now void of exorcism power, but it was no longer needed.
