American Exorcism Male God

Connor Hospital.

Urgent footsteps suddenly pierced the corridor as Andrew sprinted towards the ward, having just received a call from Xu Yi to the hospital reception.

"Hurry! Close all the windows and doors! These are Xu Yi's orders," Andrew said breathlessly.

Upon hearing they were Xu Yi's orders, Cassie didn't hesitate and rushed to close the windows.

Seeing the windows shut tight and locked from the inside, Andrew breathed a sigh of relief and then proceeded to close the door.

There was no need to lock the door, as per Xu Yi's instructions, because they weren't guarding against people.

Only Cassie and her husband and the reporter were left in the ward.

While Cassie and her husband were somewhat uneasy, the reporter from Spiritual Exploration Daily was not only calm but invigorated in an instant.

They sat in the corner with their cameras, ready to capture the news firsthand.

If Xu Yi were here, he would have undoubtedly praised their professionalism.

Once the doors and windows were secured, Cassie had just relaxed when she suddenly heard a sharp cawing of birds, and a group of shadows descended outside the window.

"How could there be crows in the hospital?" Cassie wondered as she recognized the shapes.

But in the next second, her pupils dilated as the crows soared and then dived down, striking the glass window violently, creating loud bangs.

The sight sent chills down Cassie and her husband's spines; had they not received a warning from Xu Yi to close the windows in advance, the consequences of these crows breaking into the ward would have been unimaginable.

Cassie suddenly screamed, spotting a crack form on the glass window as the crows assaulted it suicidally.

The crack grew larger, and before they could react, the window shattered with a bang, and the crows swarmed in.

Cassie and her husband rushed towards the hospital bed, as it was clear the crows' target was none other than Lisa on the bed. They grabbed a nearby stool and swung it to drive the crows away.

But there were too many crows. Despite swinging the stool with all their might, it was a futile effort.

The dense flock of crows descended over Lisa, and Cassie and her husband dropped the stool, using their bodies to shield her.

One crow, larger than the rest, deftly dodged Cassie and her husband, squeezing through a gap, its crimson pupils staring straight at Lisa's neck.

The crow pecked with its sharp beak, not aiming for Lisa's life but the necklace around her neck.

If Xu Yi were here, with the help of his Spirit Communication Ability, he would see a pair of emaciated, withered hands clinging fiercely onto the metal bottle.

Even as those hands seared like touching sulfuric acid, emitting black smoke, they showed no sign of letting go.

Xu Yi had specifically chosen a sturdy thick hemp rope; a bird couldn't cut through it, let alone a pair of scissors.

But this crow was not normal; its beak was unnaturally sharp, actually managing to bite through the necklace's rope.

Cassie and her husband's hair stood on end as they remembered Xu Yi's admonition that the necklace must never leave Lisa's body.

They lunged at the crow, trying to take the necklace back, but the crow clawed at their eyes with its sharp talons, and they instinctively covered their faces.

Seizing the moment, the crow flew off with the necklace.

With a click, the door to the ward opened, and a breathless Xu Yi charged in, his first sight being of the crow attempting to escape with the necklace.

Xu Yi lunged at the crow, each blood-stained shard of glass was a treasure that couldn't be allowed to be taken away by a crow!

He moved as fast as he could, but not faster than a flying bird.

The crow reached the ceiling, where Xu Yi couldn't touch it, and by the time he found a stick, the crow had already fled through the broken window with the necklace.

"Damn it!" Xu Yi couldn't help but curse aloud.

But there was no time to grieve over the lost mystical bloodstain's suppression, as Lisa's eyes snapped open with a strange smile on her lips.

Now, putting the exorcism necklace back on Lisa was unrealistic.

All the crows in the room were controlled by an evil spirit, and breaking through forcefully was too difficult.

They had managed to put the exorcism necklace on Lisa before because the evil spirit hadn't realized the powerful suppressive effect of the mysterious bloodstain, catching it by surprise.

To attempt it again was likely to result in being slapped away or even having it snatched by the flock of crows.

Xu Yi took out the Witchcraft Tome from his bosom and threw it into the copper basin left by Witch Zhang.

The vessel is both the evil spirit's umbrella and its shackles.

The evil spirit hides within the vessel, which allows it to avoid being harmed by sunlight and stabilizes its soul.

But every gift of fate already has its price secretly marked.

In accepting the vessel's protection, the evil spirit is also enslaved by it.

Once the vessel is damaged, it drags the evil spirit back to protect it.

This action is like a drowning person desperately clinging to their rescuer, where the ultimate outcome is nothing more than one more body to cushion the fall.

Yet the vessel has no sentience, how could it consider so much.

This is why Xu Yi needed to return to the ward before he burned the Witchcraft Tome.

Because if he was too far away, the vessel wouldn't be able to pull the evil spirit, thus wasting the tome's purpose.

With a click, the Exorcism Lighter's flame rose and slowly approached the Witchcraft Tome.

The wildly dancing crows became agitated, attacking Xu Yi as if they had gone mad, but Xu Yi had anticipated this and quickly set the Witchcraft Tome on fire.

As the Witchcraft Tome started to burn, the flame drove away the chill in the room.

The crows controlled by the evil spirit feared the Ethereal Flame, hesitating to come near for a moment. Those few that tried to extinguish the fire forcibly were slapped into flesh by Xu Yi using a stool.

Holding the stool, Xu Yi coldly watched the evil spirit, the firelight illuminating his composed face, and the black crows surrounding him like a cloud of darkness.

Lisa's body suddenly stiffened, emitting a piercing scream.

The effects of burning the vessel began to appear; the evil spirit was hurt and unable to control the numerous crows.

The crows, no longer under the evil spirit's control, flew around confusedly before flying out the window one by one.

"Hold her down!" Xu Yi felt the opportunity was here, tossed the stool aside, and hurried to the bedside,

He grabbed Lisa's wrist and seared her palm with the flame from the Exorcism Lighter.

Lisa struggled desperately, but Cassie and her husband firmly pinned her down on the bed. Influenced by the vessel, the evil spirit could not exert its full strength.

Goose bumps rose one by one on Cassie and her husband's skin, as they felt an intense chill emanating from Lisa.

Xu Yi, with his Spirit Communication Ability, had far sharper senses than common folks, feeling even more intense sensations, as if he had fallen into an Ice Cellar, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He looked at Lisa and, in a trance, her face morphed into that of a sinister witch, staring at him full of hatred.

Xu Yi, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief. The extreme reaction from the evil spirit indicated that the method was working; now, all he needed to do was persist.

Lisa's hand was as cold as a block of ice. Despite the burning of her palm, the flame left no trace.

In the copper basin, the Witchcraft Tome continued to burn. Once the tome was completely consumed, the evil spirit would have no chance of recovery.

Everything was progressing in a favorable direction; even the reporters felt the exorcism was about to succeed and were discussing the content of their articles.

But for some reason, Xu Yi felt an inexplicable unease deep inside.

...

Outside Connor Hospital, on the street.

A truck slowly approached, with dogs barking periodically from within the cargo area. The driver, looking weary, yawned deeply.

Blinking involuntarily because of the yawn, when he opened his eyes, he was shocked to see an old man suddenly appear ahead on the road.

He was so frightened that he slammed on the brakes and quickly turned the steering wheel.

At the front side of the road was a puddle, and the wheels, sliding on water during the emergency brake, caused the vehicle to lose control and overturn, slamming its front against a nearby pole.

The street was thrown into chaos by the unexpected accident, and the driver passed out from the force of the collision.

Thus, he did not notice that the road ahead was empty - there was no old man.

The collision had flung open the truck door, and the large iron cages inside had cracked open.

Shadows streamed out from the gaps in the cages; in the dark, their reddish pupils glinted – these were half-person tall Bulldogs. These large dogs were incredibly fierce and could even battle wolves.

They had a definite target, sprinting towards the hospital.
