American Exorcism Male God

Facing the sudden attack of the evil spirit, Father Bonne's hand trembled violently, almost throwing the cross he was holding.

His face turned pale because he realized that the exorcism cross had no effect on the evil spirit.

"Mr. Xu Yi, save me!"

As a seasoned veteran of the church, his call for help was especially resolute, and the way he hid behind Xu Yi was particularly smooth, as if he had practiced it countless times.

Xu Yi's expression was grave, not because of the strength of the evil spirit before him, but because of what had just happened.

His Spirit Communication Ability had been deceived!

This was not something an ordinary evil spirit could achieve. Originally, Mary Shaw had managed to deceive his spiritual power by using a monster's split form, the perfect doll, and likely also with the help of that human skin scroll.

But the evil spirit before him did not need to resort to such things, managing it as easily as lifting a cup of tea.

This kind of evil spirit either had an extraordinary talent or... a significant background.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, but the evil spirit had already pounced in front of him. The urgent priority was to deal with it first.

"Little sister, knives are too dangerous, it's better not to play with them!"

Xu Yi spoke softly, then lifted his coat hem and drew the Dagger of Rest from its sheath on the left side, stabbing towards the evil spirit's head.

He had intentionally had a tactical belt custom-made, with the Dagger of Rest's sheath hanging on the left and the Messiah's holster on the right.

The evil spirit's head was pierced through, emitting a terrible scream before dissipating like bubbles. If it weren't for the lingering chill in the air, one would have thought it was all an illusion.

Xu Yi did not pay any attention to Father Bonne, who was still shaken, and directly pushed open the door at the end of the corridor to enter the room.

He immediately spotted Mia by the windowsill, slowly coming to consciousness with her hand on her chest.

Rubber bullets may not be lethal, but that doesn't mean they're completely harmless—the force of the bullet is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Moreover, the exorcistic power of the bullet was acting inside her body, which is why she was only waking up now.

"My daughter! My daughter!"

As soon as Mia came to, she stood up anxiously and began to pace around the room.

Her gaze swept over the doorway several times without stopping, as if she couldn't see Xu Yi at all.

"Blinded by resentment?"

Xu Yi instantly understood what was happening. Blinded by resentment was the Western term, whereas in Xia Kingdom, it was called being ghost-blinded.

He proceeded directly to Mia, without any thought of gentleness or pity, took control of the struggling Mia, and pulled out the Exorcism Lighter, searing her pinky finger with it.

Being hesitant and concerned about gentleness during an exorcism was the most foolish approach.

The fingers are connected to the heart, and the pinky is the most sensitive to pain. So, burning the pinky with exorcism flames often yields remarkable results.

Mia screamed in agony, suddenly bent over and retched on the floor, spitting out thick black water. The dark fog that had shrouded her vision dispersed.

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, closed the lighter, and released her.

"Mia, are you alright?" Father Bonne rushed in at that moment and quickly helped Mia onto a chair.

Seeing Father Bonne, a familiar face, Mia stabilized somewhat, but she quickly became anxious again, "Father Bonne, my daughter is missing, please save her!"

"What exactly happened? Why did you want to jump off the building?" Father Bonne asked urgently.

"The demon took away my daughter, saying it wanted to exchange my soul for hers. I saw the demon slice my little Alice's face, and she's not even one year old yet, how could they do that to her!" Mia collapsed onto the chair, crying hysterically.

Xu Yi closed his eyes and used his Spiritual Power to sense the traces left by the demon's movements. After a moment, he opened his eyes and walked towards the nearby baby's room.

The baby's room was empty. Xu Yi went straight to the wardrobe and pulled open the door.

A small infant lay quietly in the bedding, sleeping soundly, her little face flushed.

Mia's daughter was unharmed, which Xu Yi had anticipated.

For the demon, its target was Mia's soul, and Mia's daughter was undoubtedly her weak point.

If it doesn't succeed at once, the doll can continue to be used next time; the other party naturally won't destroy it easily.

Mia, seeing her daughter safe and sound, cried tears of joy, holding the baby tightly in her arms and profusely thanking Xu Yi.

Xu Yi, however, was frowning the whole time; this time, he feared trouble was brewing.

What he clearly saw in the corridor was an evil spirit, yet the opponent was engaging in the acts of a demon.

Evil spirits and demons are two completely different creatures.

Evil spirits grow by killing, consuming the grudges of the deceased to strengthen themselves.

Except for a special demon like Jason, most demons aim for human souls, which they harvest through the three stages of 'infestation, oppression, and possession.'

Of course, there are very few exceptions, such as Mia's current situation, where the target is made to offer their soul willingly.

"Is there something special about Mia's soul?" Xu Yi closely observed Mia.

For demons, only exceedingly precious souls are worth such elaborate schemes.

Xu Yi could not discern any clues; demons have their own unique methods to recognize the quality of a soul.

"Can you tell me about your encounter with the evil spirit?" Xu Yi asked softly after Mia's emotions had stabilized.

Mia recounted the experience in bits and pieces, some parts jumbled, but Xu Yi still grasped the sequence of events.

It was a very typical 'demon harassment pattern,' things like kettles suddenly buzzing, sewing machines turning on by themselves, ghostly figures startling...

But Xu Yi still caught on to the key point from Mia's words, "You said everything started three days ago. Did anything special happen three days ago?"

"I'm clear on that matter," Father Bonne interjected, seeing Mia in no state to continue. "Three days ago, two criminals broke into Mia's house... You should know the security in this neighborhood is very good, many people don't lock their yard gates, it was only after that incident that locks were added."

"Get to the point!" Xu Yi, seeing Father Bonne about to ramble, hastily interrupted.

"The criminals were a man and a woman. The man was killed by the police who arrived, and the woman committed suicide in the room," Father Bonne immediately became succinct.

Having witnessed Xu Yi's methods, how could he dare to underestimate him now?

And about the revolver Xu Yi wore at his waist, he had a vague feeling of familiarity.

"The demon that harassed me had possessed a doll, and the female criminal was holding that doll when she killed herself." Mia added.

Xu Yi's pupils constricted slightly, not expecting Mia to have omitted such critical information.

Concerning this demon, he had a vague speculation.

Without a word, he took out a pen and a sketchbook from his backpack, sat down at the desk, and activated his Spirit Communication Drawing.

Mia and Father Bonne did not know what Xu Yi was doing, and they did not dare to disturb him.

A moment later, Xu Yi's wooden pupils returned to normal, and a drawing appeared in the sketchbook.

The drawing depicted a doll seated in the center of a stool, its cute braided pigtails resting on its shoulders, dressed in a princess gown with a huge bow around its waist.

The most striking feature of the doll was its face – blood-red lips, bright red cheeks, and empty, deep blue eyes.

As Xu Yi gazed into the doll's eyes, he felt his soul being incessantly tugged, falling toward the abyss.

What concerned him more was that the background of the doll was almost entirely blacked out, looking at first glance as if it were haphazardly scribbled, but upon closer inspection, one could vaguely make out an extremely terrifying figure.

"Xu Yi! Xu Yi! Are you alright?"

The voice of Father Bonne called out, and Xu Yi suddenly came to his senses, only then realizing he did not know how long he had been gazing at the sketchbook, his forehead sweat dampening the drawing.

"Is it this doll?" Xu Yi handed the drawing to Mia.

Mia nodded in surprise, wondering how the other person could have drawn the doll without having seen it.

"That's right, I remember the female criminal was named Annabelle." Father Bonne suddenly recalled and added.

Xu Yi took a deep breath and confirmed that the subject of this exorcism was none other than the infamous Annabelle doll.
