Chapter 4236: Spirit Possession (24)

Kate, who had a hole shot in her head, looked at the agent in disbelief. She let out another sharp scream and shouted: "Damn it!! How dare you!!!"

"Exposed again, huh? Get out of here." The agent fired two more shots and said, "If you don't have any new tricks, you don't need to come find me; it's simply a waste of each other's time."

"You..."

"You must want to ask where you went wrong. Since that's the case, I'll let you die knowing. There are problems everywhere in this paragraph of yours. I won't talk about the details, the biggest problem is: the narrative perspective of this paragraph is completely male, not something Kate could say at all. And, it is also completely from the perspective of a Mormon believer looking at the world; it is simply too narrow."

"You call the defect in reproductive ability a 'curse'. I don't deny that wanting to have children and not being able to is two different things; inability to reproduce is indeed a disease worthy of sympathy. However, in your words, reproduction is seen as too important: being able to have children is success, and not being able to is failure. Your fox tail is showing too early."

"Also, the description of the relationship between the sexes is not hidden at all. I won't discuss with you whether polygamy is reasonable or not; anyway, you won't listen. However, your description of the relationship between Aunt Kane and the elder is too biased. You say Aunt Kane is old and yellow, unable to seduce the elder with her looks anymore; aren't you saying that she took the initiative to seduce him, and the two had a relationship? Then, is it possible that Aunt Kane tied the elder to the bed?"

"Also, regarding Linda's encounter, you skipped it even more. What do you mean by 'let Linda give birth to the elder's child'? This is called rape, understand?"

"Finally, you say Bing has the ability of prophecy and can predict disasters and the movements of animals. Is there a possibility that he knows how to use electronic equipment, knows how to watch the weather forecast, and this was very likely taught by his 'rebellious' father?"

"As for things like black magic and cursing, it's even more nonsense. You guys can kill anyone at will and frame him; what way does a three or four-year-old child have to defend himself?"

"Throughout the whole process, you completely hid the evil done by the Mormon sect and desperately tried to divert my attention to that little boy Bing. If I hadn't interrupted you, were you going to say that he was the evil spirit that harmed the town, and then let me go eliminate him?"

"I'll say it again, you are a very unsuccessful ghost. Your only role is to provide the plot, but the fake plot you made up to mislead people is completely unreasonable, and in the end, it didn't play any value at all. Alright, get out of here."

The agent waved his hand and walked toward the door, and the evil spirit finally couldn't bear it anymore. He let out a scream, and the agent only saw a ball of black energy rush out of Kate's body, rushing straight toward his face.

"Damn it!" the agent cursed. He turned to dodge, but the space here was really too narrow, and this thing was very fast; he really couldn't dodge it. Just as he was about to be hit by this ball of black energy, Kate's body suddenly moved again.

"Caught you." Kate's voice became extremely cold. The agent subconsciously looked up at her, and the moment their eyes met, Kate's eyes suddenly focused.

The next second, the black energy hit the agent. He lost consciousness. And in the real world, Kate suddenly sprang up from the ground. She strangled the agent's neck from behind and stabbed a sharp thorn into the agent's chest.

The agent's body didn't move, but black energy suddenly began to surge violently all over his body. That black energy seemed to be struggling, wanting to do something, but failed.

Kate stood behind him, looked at him, suddenly showed an icy smile, and then said: "I have already seen you."

Then, Kate's figure went limp. But the ball of black energy controlling the agent's body struggled like crazy, but no matter how it struggled, it couldn't break away from this body.

That sharp thorn had been completely stabbed into his body; he wanted to reach out and pull it out, but couldn't touch it at all. He could only stagger and run

In the room at Aunt Kane's house, Hunter sat up from the bed, slowly turned his head, and looked in one direction.

When the Agent woke up again, he found himself still in the church, only it was still night. As soon as he looked up, he saw Bruce.

"You finally came over," Bruce said. "The other you left not long ago; if you had come earlier, you could have run into him."

The Agent shook his head and said, "I've already run into him. Tell me what's going on."

Bruce briefly told him about the intelligence they had gathered and what the mental world was all about. The Agent sighed softly and said, "This evil spirit is dead wrong."

"What do you mean?" Bruce asked him. The other Schiller had said before that the evil spirit was dead wrong, but he hadn't figured out where the evil spirit was wrong. From the current perspective, this evil spirit's combat power was still quite strong; not only could he summon dried corpses, but he also had such a large mental world.

"The worst thing he could have done was to let Hunter enter the mental world while leaving me in the real world, letting us each enter the domain we are best at."

The Agent already fully understood what Hunter was actually doing.

If we start from the beginning, it would probably be: this evil spirit has an ability where he can pull very weak people into the mental world, but this person must be related to Big Valley Town—either the person is in the town, or they have come into contact with some object related to the town.

And when the Agent and Hunter were robbing the bank, they picked up props used for the circus tour, and something popped out of that prop and stabbed them both. Although this looked like a system sanction, the system's sanctions are also expressed through plot methods. This was clearly a trap the evil spirit had laid in advance.

It is not hard to see that this evil spirit did not intend to stay in one corner; it was just that for some reason, he lacked the opportunity to leave the town. And that doll box left in the bank might be one of his trump cards for escaping. Once someone touched that box and triggered the mechanism, they would simultaneously satisfy the conditions of "becoming weak" and "coming into contact with Big Valley Town," and then the evil spirit could pull them into the mental world.

And this evil spirit has another ability, which is: controlling the bodies of those souls he has pulled into the mental world. For example, Aunt Kane; her soul was pulled into the mental world, and although she was already dead, her corpse could still be controlled by the evil spirit.

So when the person who touched the doll is pulled in, the evil spirit can go out and use their body. And this person is not in the town, but in the city, and it is even possible they are in some big city. In this way, he successfully used the other person's body to go to a big city.

The evil spirit must have such a desire; otherwise, he wouldn't have prioritized going after Peter. Just because Peter is a police officer in Westview City, once he obtained his body, he could gain a foothold in Westview City and have a certain amount of power, which would facilitate his subsequent development.

Under these circumstances, the evil spirit placing this scare box was the most wrong thing he did. Because the one who touched these two boxes was Schiller—to be precise, the one who perfectly stepped into the trap was Hunter.

Hunter met the evil spirit's conditions: he entered the mental world. However, Hunter's own abilities are more inclined toward mental abilities, that is, mental tracking. After he came in, he could find a way to hide himself, and this evil spirit didn't find him at first.

The evil spirit must first find this person's soul and have some contact with him before he can enter his body. He didn't find Hunter, so he couldn't enter his body, and thus it was shelved just like that.

But don't forget, Hunter's mental tracking ability is inclined toward offense; his hiding was merely a stopgap measure. What he really wanted to do was to find this evil spirit.

Just as Hunter said, everyone in the small town could be the evil spirit because this evil spirit has actually evolved into a collective consciousness of a certain group of people in the town—or rather, after such a long time, it is basically the collective consciousness of everyone in the town. He is more similar to a kind of "obsession."

So if he doesn't show himself voluntarily, then everyone is him, and Hunter's tracking ability becomes ineffective.

Another reason is that he cannot be eliminated in the mental world because this world itself was created by him. Hunter cannot eliminate him in the world he created, so the only way is to get him into the real world and trap him in some body, making him unable to return to the mental world, so that he can be eliminated.

And the method to get him to enter the real world is also very simple: that is to let him control someone's body and then run into the Agent.

Hunter is very clear that the Agent simply doesn't have the patience to listen to any plot dialogue. These dialogues go in one ear and out the other; trying to brainwash him is simply impossible.

Yet, this evil spirit seems to not like violent means very much; he just likes to deceive people and hypnotize them. He often uses the ability to control bodies to impersonate acquaintances, and then through words, step by step, lures and hypnotizes them, letting the other party voluntarily enter the mental world.

The Agent simply doesn't buy this. The evil spirit either asks about his background or tries to chat with him, and he didn't listen to a single word. Finally, after exhausting his patience, the body the evil spirit was controlling was blown away by a gunshot.

The Agent is completely immune to the evil spirit's deception. As long as he sees through it once, it is absolutely impossible to be deceived again later. Whoever comes to chat with him gets a gunshot, which fundamentally eliminates the evil spirit's attempt to disrupt the real world.

And the error in the mouths of the Agent and Hunter is actually just that. If he had pulled the Agent into the mental world at that time and left Hunter in reality, there might have been some room for operation. But he placed the two of them separately in the domains they were best at; wouldn't that be dead wrong?

Moreover, this method of the Agent is very infuriating. From the evil spirit's behavioral pattern, it can be seen that he is a ghost with a bit of artistic pursuit; otherwise, he wouldn't have avoided using force and insisted on deceiving people. He is the type who believes his IQ is superior to others, who can play with people's hearts at will and make people fall apart on their own.

It is not hard to imagine that he must have done this before. Those out-of-town tourists pulled into the mental world very likely staged many battle royales in this dead town. Any companion by their side could be the evil spirit in disguise, and they would seek their own destruction amidst fear and suspicion. This is the pleasure the evil spirit chooses to get by possessing others.

And this time he did the same, but he ran into the Agent, a speed-runner who frantically presses the skip button whenever he encounters any plot dialogue. And that long setup in the front couldn't be skipped, which was already very infuriating, so the Agent's methods would definitely be very rough. The evil spirit would be in a situation of "a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain himself clearly," which would definitely make him very angry. It's similar to "I carefully prepared a feast, but a wild boar that can't eat fine food showed up."

However, such people won't give up so easily; they are all somewhat paranoid and don't believe they can't defeat you in this domain. So he will definitely try repeatedly. If Peter doesn't work, he'll change to another one, and the best choice is Kate, who seems to have become a victim—in the situation where Kate has already been kidnapped by the evil spirit, the truth she tells would be very convincing.

But unfortunately, the Agent still treated him to a bullet, so this evil spirit completely broke down. He stopped doing things like pulling people into the mental world and prepared for a physical assault directly.

And it was precisely taking this opportunity that Hunter directly sealed him in the Agent's body and used his own mental tracking ability to lock onto him.
