Chapter 4240

"So that's how it is." Bingo said, "Then it makes sense."

The agent originally thought he was referring to the matter between Burger and Aunt Kane back then. But soon he heard Bingo say: "Your brother, that is, the person who first found me, proposed a method to trap the evil spirit in a real body. That is, to use his own way to treat him."

The agent turned his head to look at him, and Bingo continued: "He has a very special weapon in his hand. It looks like a sharp spike, but it's actually an awl. This thing might be the tool old Burger used to sew dolls."

"Wait," the agent said, "An awl?"

He remembered that when facing Kate before, the Kate possessed by the Hunter had pulled out a sharp spike and stabbed it into his own chest, which was possessed by the evil spirit. And that thing looked a bit familiar. The agent recalled carefully, and then remembered, wasn't that the weapon that stabbed the Hunter in the jack-in-the-box back then?

At that time, after they got the safe deposit box, they actually took certain protective measures. The two of them didn't stand in front of the safe deposit box at all, and were far away. But the moment it opened, they still suffered an attack, which was actually quite unreasonable if you think about it carefully.

"That's right," Bingo said, "That thing is just like this doll, it can travel between the real and spirit worlds, exist in both worlds at the same time, and hurt people in both worlds. Your brother thinks this might be one of the evil spirit's signs, so he wanted to use this thing to trap the evil spirit in the real world."

"So that's how it is," the agent said, "It seems this is also old Burger's masterpiece. He really did more harm than good."

"I have an idea," Bruce said, "Old Burger could return to the real world through special methods and possess other people, so can't we?"

"Is it necessary?" Peter said, "The evil spirit is now trapped in the real world, and now the entire spirit world is ours to explore. Shouldn't we spend more time here looking for clues?"

"I also think you should go back," Bingo said, "I can stay in the spirit world to explore, but the method to solve the problem must be hidden in the real world. Ultimately, we still have to go back to solve it."

"Alright, let's study how to go back." Bruce said, "How did you control Burger's bones to kill people back then?"

"Relatives with blood relations will sense each other." Bingo turned his head to look at the agent and said, "You should be able to faintly feel your brother's position, right?"

The agent couldn't feel it at all, because they weren't real brothers, but he still nodded and said: "I can feel it, but I won't possess him."

"The reason I have to hide from the evil spirit is because I can only feel the bodies of relatives with blood relations to me, and cannot possess indiscriminately, but the evil spirit can do it. So if you want to return to the real world through possession, you can only imitate the evil spirit."

Bruce looked down at the doll in his hand. He pondered, and then said: "Familo was pushed into the magic circle back then, and Debi was able to escape. This proves that activating black magic requires a price. This price might be human life. Death gives the evil spirit infinite power of possession. If we want to go back, perhaps we also need someone to sacrifice."

"Wait. If power comes from death, then isn't the death of a spirit body also death?" Peter said, "I killed someone who wanted to attack me before. Could it be that I can also use this power?"

Bruce looked at him, and then handed the doll to him. Peter gently stroked the pattern of the magic circle with his finger, and the next second, his spirit body began to become gradually transparent, and the doll also became more transparent, as if it was only a little bit away from returning to reality.

"It really works," the doll spoke, but it was Peter's voice, and he said, "As long as you have killed someone in the town, you should all be able to."

"That makes it easy," the agent said, "I killed at least two. But now the evil spirit is in my body, and I don't want to go into someone else's body. I'll stay here to investigate clues. Peter, you go back first."

Bruce said: "I haven't killed anyone, so I can't go back for the time being. I have to go find Kate; the evil spirit must have hidden her spirit body. We have to take advantage of the evil spirit's absence and save her."

So, the agent and Bingo walked together, Bruce went to find Kate alone, and Peter returned to the real world with the help of the doll.

The real world at this time was already in a mess.

The evil spirit using the agent's body stumbled out of the church. He had already felt the thing inside his body, which was one of the evil magic artifacts he had created himself—the awl used to sew jack-in-the-box dolls.

Black magic has no master; whoever can use it, it belongs to them. And when he was attacked by the evil magic artifact he created himself, he would also be hit by it. And now he must hurry to find something to counter it; he must never be trapped in the real world like this.

The direction he was running was exactly Aunt Kane's house; he was going to the tool room there. Only there could he break through the barrier between the two worlds and use his power to crack the magic artifact in his body.

At this time, the real world was night. The town didn't have a single ray of light. The buildings that looked dilapidated during the day were looming in the darkness, like monsters waiting to devour people. And the evil spirit trapped in the body no longer had extraordinary senses, but became like an ordinary person, only able to perceive the world through his five senses; he would also be trapped in the darkness.

After running out for only a few steps, the evil spirit discovered that he was lost. But just at this time, he saw a tall figure flash past the house in front.

The evil spirit immediately started thinking again. He tried his best to stay stable and walked toward that direction with a feigned steadiness. The big guy heard someone behind him, turned his head, and when he saw "Schiller's" face, Kent ran directly toward this side.

"My God, so you're here." Kent said, "Bruce asked me to find you, are you alright?"

"Not very good." The evil spirit shook his head and pointed at his arm. Kent walked up hesitantly. The evil spirit rolled up his sleeve; his entire left arm had already turned black.

That's right, this evil spirit had reaped what he sowed again. Inside the jack-in-the-box he had put down back then, there was an evil magic artifact awl, and also an instant-cast black magic curse. One of these two things hit the Hunter, and the other hit the agent.

And now they both hit the evil spirit himself like boomerangs.

"Good God!" Kent raised his voice, shouted, and then said, "How did this happen?!"

"I was cursed." The evil spirit said with a bitter smile, "We were completely wrong. The evil spirit is not a member of the Mormon Sect, but the boy Linda gave birth to..."

"Wait a minute," Kent interrupted him, "The boy Linda gave birth to???"

"That's right. The boy who was nominally Linda's younger brother is actually her son. He is the son of the devil..."

"You wait a minute," Kent interrupted him again, and then said, "Linda doesn't look old either. She has already given birth to a child? How old is that child?"

"He was only four when he died. So he is full of resentment..."

"Four years old?!!!" Kent exclaimed, "In other words, Linda might have given birth to him when she was very young?!!! My God. Who raped her???"

The evil spirit was a bit impatient. He seemed not to understand why these people were making such a fuss. He said: "No one raped her, it's just..."

"No one?! You mean, she would voluntarily get pregnant??? Even if she thought she was voluntary, this is also wrong. The body of a female in this age group hasn't developed well at all, and pregnancy and childbirth will have great dangers. This is wrong! If she said she was voluntary, it proves that the society's education has completely failed. Someone must be held responsible for this!"

The evil spirit opened his mouth, and the long story he had made up about Bingo could not be told at all. Kent looked too angry. This big guy glared, looking like he was going to punch him at any moment. He really didn't dare to provoke him anymore.

"Wait." Kent reacted again and said, "You said Mormon Sect? So the cult in the town is the Mormon Sect? My God. There were Mormon missionaries who went to preach where my family lived before. No wonder my dad wouldn't let me talk to them. This is too terrible!"

"There's no time to discuss this," the evil spirit said again, "We must hurry and solve that evil spirit..."

"No," Kent said, "Since his mother was not voluntary, then the birth of this child is a tragedy. He must not have been treated well either, which is why he turned into an evil spirit. To remove his resentment, we must figure out what exactly happened, who forced his mother, who abused him, and who ultimately killed him. Only by finding the truth and bringing the murderer to justice can he find true peace."

After speaking, he turned and was about to leave. The evil spirit hurried forward; he still wanted to say something. But Kent suddenly turned his head, and his eyes became a bit gloomy. Although he was just an ordinary person now, the momentum on him was no different from the God of Earth before.

The movie version of Henry Cavill's Superman is one of the few Supermen who can confront Batman and is willing to confront Batman. This means he has certain traits that are extremely similar to Batman, which is why they repel each other. Essentially, they are both extreme enough, and no one is willing to back down, which ultimately led to the situation of confrontation.

Compared to other Supermen who are good at understanding and willing to listen, the Henry Cavill Superman shown in the movie is indeed a bit like a Kryptonian Batman. Once he decides to do something, no one can stop him. He has a stubbornness inherited from Batman, and a kind of toughness and seriousness carved into his bones.

It seems that Batman dying in his arms before made him understand more about the efforts that fragile humans have to make to survive. But the realization brought by this is not more tolerance and sympathy for the weak, but hatred for those evil people who add more obstacles and disasters to an already difficult survival.

In short, in his attitude toward crime, he began to lean toward the Lord Superman. If the weak cannot be saved, then as long as all criminals are eliminated, at least most people can be spared the suffering they shouldn't have suffered.

Under such a personality and this mindset, you tell him anything, and he will definitely interpret it from the perspective of fighting crime. He doesn't care whether the boy has become an evil spirit; even if he hasn't, now that he knows about this, he will definitely find the truth of that year and then strike hard at those damn rapists.

And if that boy has turned into an evil spirit, then it should be done even more. If it weren't for those hateful criminals, this matter wouldn't have happened in the first place. Then to solve the evil spirit from the root, one still has to punish the criminals.

The evil spirit originally wanted to use his current appearance to deceive Kent and brainwash him, but he once again shot himself in the foot. The things he described about Linda not only failed to clear the Mormon Sect of suspicion and shift others' attention to Bingo, but instead brought Kent out of his previous self-blame and found a new goal for him.

Watching his stubbornly departing back, the evil spirit was simply gnashing his teeth; he just didn't understand why this batch of outsiders was so difficult to deal with. Is there no one who can understand human language???
