Chapter 101: Clearing Doubts, Evil Spirits and Monsters

"..."

"Actually, you don't need to think of the mysterious side as too mysterious. Most people on the mysterious side are just ordinary people, and they are not strong, or even can be said to be weak. They only have one or two small skills and can communicate with souls a little bit, and some don't even know how to do that."

"Those who just rely on crosses, holy water, and the Bible to exorcise demons are no different from ordinary people, and often they can only disperse some ordinary souls that linger."

"Just like me, I'm just an ordinary medium, just relying on some experience to help people."

"So, your strength is already quite good."

In Elise's view, Louis is indeed quite good. Just that hand of massive fire manipulation can easily drive away ordinary monsters, and he just needs to learn some means to deal with evil spirits.

As long as he doesn't run into those special people, special witches, demons, evil gods, monster groups, big evil spirits, etc., he can ensure safety.

Louis thought thoughtfully. It seems the power span of the mysterious side is quite large, and his fire hand can be ranked in it. Estimating... he is about in the middle tier?

At this time, Elise continued.

"The power structure of the mysterious side is very complex, but besides the church, the largest are the various large and small heretical sects, pagan sects, special races, etc. The smallest and most numerous are the wild mediums, exorcists, etc. Even so, the number is still far inferior to evil creatures like evil spirits."

"On this land, there are quite a few evil spirits and monsters, especially in some remote areas where there are horror legends. Don't go there out of curiosity; avoid them if you can."

"Wait, Aunt Elise, why do you emphasize evil spirits and monsters?" Louis discovered a blind spot and asked.

Elise pondered for a moment and replied, "People's thoughts are complex and changeable. Sometimes they are killed by others, or for other reasons, they don't want to leave, but this violates the rules of heaven."

"And the state of the soul is easily affected. Although many souls don't have the ability to affect reality, some qualified souls can, so after killing people, they become more and more extreme, gradually turning into evil spirits. As for the number, the private violence here... you know."

"So souls that don't want to go to heaven and souls that luckily didn't go to hell are quite numerous. It's just because there are churches in basically every place, and souls will be pacified unconsciously by those ordinary priests' weekly mass before they become evil spirits."

"As for monsters..."

"Have you heard of the Wendigo? And vampires, Bigfoot, Mothman, fallen tooth fairies..."

These are all American folk legends, of course, many of them were brought from Europe.

"These are all real, living in the corners of the human world. As long as you go to those remote places, if you are unlucky, you have a chance to encounter them."

"So, I emphasize evil spirits and these monsters because they are all things that people have a high probability of bumping into."

In fact, there is another situation she didn't mention, and that is heretical sects. The number of heretical sects in America is the highest in the world, but most of them have no real use, plus there is the suppression of heaven, so they have never been able to cause any trouble, which is why she didn't mention it.

After Elise finished saying this, she took a cup of water handed over by Minnie to moisten her mouth.

And Louis was thinking.

Evil spirits, monster races, heaven and hell, heretical sects, pagan sects...

I didn't expect the real mysterious side to be so chaotic. Can America maintain stability thanks to that overbearing guy, God?

The big stage of America is really full of tricks.

You, you can always give me some new surprises.

It's just that these surprises are not good for the heart.

Forget it, with this messy situation, it seems that before cultivating magic power and mastering truly powerful techniques, I can't be too reckless, I have to be a little cautious.

Louis looked at Elise again, only feeling that this lady is indeed a person of integrity, and friendly enough, answering every question. No wonder his grandfather chose her to check the box.

Moreover, being able to understand so much information, this lady should not just be what she claims to be, just an ordinary medium on the mysterious side.

By the way, medium.

"Aunt Elise, can I ask about mediums?"

Elise smiled and said frankly, "Of course you can. Mediums are just people with special soul qualifications."

"Because of different qualifications, the abilities of mediums are also different. Just like me, I only have ordinary communication and shuttling, while my assistant beside me—Minnie, her ability is soul out-of-body, which is more powerful than mine."

"Most mediums in this world are ordinary communication and pacification, but there is no lack of mediums with special abilities. But in the final analysis, it is because of the specificity of the soul that they have abilities."

After answering this question, seeing Louis thinking, Elise looked at the box in Louis's hand, her eyes struggling. As for the monkey's paw and perfume, because they were wrapped, she didn't open her perspective, so she didn't find them.

As for what Louis was thinking, he just felt that these mediums are all people with extraordinary talents. If they cultivate properly, they might have many advantages.

They are all talents!

It seems that the priority of winning over and controlling Minnie needs to be raised a little bit in the future.

At this time, seeing Louis come back to his senses, Elise said, "Louis, I have a small request, I don't know if you can listen to it."

"Please speak."

"Try not to use this box, you understand."

"Also, if possible, think of a way to help the soul inside to be liberated. He is too pitiful."

Elise's gaze toward the box was full of pity.

When she communicated with the box earlier, it was Jack who had been suppressing the clown demon's consciousness and told her those secrets, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so smooth.

This is not a bad person; he is just a pitiful person.

Louis frowned. He estimated he would take this box for research, but facing Elise's request, he still nodded. "Alright, I know."

Elise sighed and didn't say anything more. After all, it was someone else's thing, and she couldn't interfere too much.

In fact, she had another way for this matter, and that was to report it to the church. The church's influence is very large, and there are many professionals. Even the exorcist couple who appeared in the newspaper are, in a sense, people of the church.

It can be seen how great the church's influence is.

It's just that she knows the church's style of doing things very well. There are many factions inside, and facing the special situation of Jack merging with a demon, most church factions would probably choose to purify it directly instead of thinking of ways to save Jack.

So, professional ethics and compassion do not allow her to report it to the church.
