CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 214: THE EVIL SPIRIT CLAIMS LIVES

While drifting on the sea, Columbus often heard someone calling him by his ear, guiding him on the right course, allowing him to safely return and survive each journey.

Years of sea voyages made Columbus very curious about the divine spirits in this world, and he enjoyed collecting various tokens of these spirits.

He believed that one day, through exploration and adventure, he would discover the true divine spirits.

After arriving in North America, Columbus began to sow his beliefs on this mysterious continent. It was because of his founding that the Evil God Council was born from the Sailing Adventurer Council.

In the early days of the Evil God Council, most of the members were European sailing adventurers.

After World War II, Europe declined while America rose, and the core of the Evil God Council shifted from Europe to North America with the council’s leadership.

Six speakers emerged to jointly manage the structure of the Evil God Council, of which Sess followed one of them.

The demolition of the 13th District this time came from Sess’s orders from above, instructing him to dig underground in the 13th District to find something.

To obtain this thing, any means were allowed, and should any trouble arise, that speaker would help resolve it.

Sess, who was staring blankly at the sky, didn’t notice that on the pad placed on the desk, the Mother and Child Evil Spirits on the screen slowly turned their heads, looking at the screen.

The gaze seemed to be able to see beyond the screen, staring directly at Sess.

...

"So many people died?"

In the police station, Henry exclaimed in disbelief, then looked at Sun Yan, who was calmly drinking tea on the sofa next to him.

In just one day, dozens of brutal murders occurred in the 13th District of Saint Anna City, exactly as Sun Yan had predicted, making Henry tremble with fear.

The monster had indeed arrived in Saint Anna City and started hunting humans.

"Yes, the mayor recently ordered us to mobilize police forces to cooperate with the police station in the 13th District to find the killer. We absolutely cannot let the killer continue to harm people wantonly." The deputy chief said truthfully.

"Alright, I understand, you can leave now."

Waving to dismiss the deputy chief, Henry suddenly jumped up and walked over to Sun Yan.

"Father Jackson, it’s really happening as you said, a major incident has occurred."

"Have you got the information I wanted?"

"Yes, I have. The people commanding those thugs to forcibly demolish belong to a company called Rekton Real Estate in this city. This company was founded decades ago and is also a major taxpayer locally. However, I’ve heard the owner of this company is involved in some shady dealings and has some powerful figures backing him up, which is why the company has thrived for so many years.

This time, the demolition approval for the 13th District was also signed by the mayor, but Rekton Company significantly deducted from the demolition compensation, leading to protests and refusals from many original residents, injuring many." Henry enumerated all the information he had gathered about Rekton Real Estate Company.

"Who is the owner of this company?" Sun Yan asked.

"It’s a white man named Sess. His ancestors immigrated here and made their first fortune in North America, growing stronger over time to become a big entrepreneur today."

"I see..." Sun Yan mused, rubbing his chin.

The Mother and Child Evil Spirits wanted revenge, naturally aiming to kill the enemies who once destroyed their family, including any masterminds behind the scenes.

If killing these people were all it took to stop, Sun Yan would have no intention of interfering.

But once an Evil Spirit like this forms, the most terrifying part is that they lose human intelligence, driven only by instinct. Even if they kill all their foes, they won’t stop harming others, ultimately becoming a calamity.

Such existence must not be left unchecked.

"Father Jackson, what should we do now?" Henry asked anxiously.

As someone who had come face-to-face with the Mother and Child Evil Spirits and nearly died at their hands, he knew better than anyone how terrifying they could be.

Allowing such a dangerous entity to roam in Saint Anna City would be unimaginable in consequences.

"Take me to Sess. I need to have a good talk with him."

"Alright, I’ll take you to the Rekton Company now."

...

The police car drove all the way to the Rekton Company building. Sun Yan got out of the car, looking at the building in front of him with a sigh.

This Sess’s family undoubtedly possesses considerable wealth to own an entire building in Saint Anna City, indicative of years of lucrative real estate profits.

"Father Jackson, I’ll go in and notify the front desk first. You know these wealthy people; you need an appointment beforehand, or you won’t even get to meet them."

Henry said to Sun Yan after getting out of the car and hurriedly walked towards the building entrance.

At that moment, a shadow suddenly fell straight down from above, accompanied by numerous glass shards, crashing a few meters in front of Henry.

Crack!

A fat man, with glass shards piercing all over his body and an expression of extreme terror, appeared before Henry.

Sun Yan was taken aback and quickly looked up, only to see the fleeting figure of a disheveled woman behind the only broken window, disappearing swiftly.

"Chief Henry, it seems you don’t need an appointment anymore. You’ve already met him."

Sun Yan shrugged helplessly: "If I’m not mistaken, this person is Sess."

"Did we come too late?" Henry asked in disbelief.

"From the current situation, yes."

Sun Yan patted the stunned Henry and strode towards the Rekton Company building: "The Mother and Child Evil Spirits’ targets for revenge certainly won’t be just one person. This is just an appetizer. We need to hurry, or more will die."

The Mother and Child Evil Spirits acted much faster than Sun Yan anticipated, surprising Sun Yan even more with their emergence during daytime - a clear sign of increasing power.

If their slaughter continues, by nightfall, with the Yin Energy intensifying, the Mother and Child Evil Spirits would only grow more dangerous.

Upon entering the building, the commotion from Sess’s fall had already attracted the attention of the receptionist.

Henry immediately showed his badge: "I’m the chief of the city’s police. You must take me to see the person in charge of the Rekton Company immediately."

...

In the meeting room.

Sun Yan and Henry sat on the left side of the large elliptical conference room, while on the right, facing them, sat three men in suits.

They were rubbing their eyes or wiping their glasses with heavy expressions, clearly still processing the unexpected news of Sess’s accidental death.

It was an unexpectedly shocking event.

"Gentlemen, I know what I’m about to tell you may be hard to believe, but it concerns your safety and lives. You must cooperate with my investigation," Henry stated.

"What do you want to say? Just say it." A white man nodded.

"Regarding the death of Mr. Sess, I am very sorry, but it wasn’t a normal accidental death. It’s related to an ’Evil Spirit.’ This Evil Spirit not only killed Mr. Sess, but it won’t spare anyone in your company. If you want to survive, I need your active cooperation. Please, could you tell me the true purpose behind your company’s demolition in the 13th District? Please don’t hide anything. This is crucial."

Facing Henry’s inquiry, the faces of the three Rekton Company executives slightly changed. They exchanged glances, seemingly having a silent discussion.

"I’m sorry, this concerns company secrets. We cannot disclose it," one man shook his head, decisively refusing.

"If you keep this secret, the Evil Spirit could come for you anytime. Your fate will be the same as Mr. Sess’s. Gentlemen, you can’t keep this under wraps. I’m trying to protect you.

The Evil Spirit could appear at any moment, and no matter how good your company’s security is, wasn’t Mr. Sess still killed? Do you still plan to keep this secret?"

Henry slammed the table in frustration, pointing to the silent Sun Yan beside him: "This person is the city’s best Exorcist. I specially invited him to help you. If you miss Father Jackson, next time you encounter the Evil Spirit, you won’t have another chance."

After a moment of silence, a white man hesitated and slowly said, "Perhaps you’re right. We’ve indeed encountered some trouble this time, so... I’ll tell you."
