Chapter 87 - Soul Cleansing Talisman
[System Divine Nine: That's right, Host. You can use the soul cleansing talisman. From what I can see, when the ghost left him, some of the evil energy left behind was still affecting the old man. So this explains the current suitation of the old man.]
The old man's body was weak, so he was easily affected. It made sense when she thought about it this way.
"Maybe that old lady, who died mysteriously at home, died because the ghost left her body."
A human would naturally die after a ghost absorbed his vital energy.
This also explained why the old lady's face was completely black after her death. How could she still look good after her vital energy had been sucked away?
The old man was still mumbling to himself. Lauren could not understand most of his words but she could occasionally hear the words "wife"and "old lady".
Lauren glanced outside. Ben was already chatting with the police officers with their arms around each other's shoulders.
The conversation between an old man and a child was probably not very pleasant, and the other police officers did not pay attention to them either.
Lauren quietly took out a yellow blank talisman from her empty bag.
Soul cleansing talismans were not commonly used, so Lauren had no ready-made talismans and could only draw them on her own.
She recalled the drawing of this talisman, then dipped her fingertip into some water and began to draw on the talisman.
[System Divine Nine: Your talisman drawing is really ugly. It looks like drawn by a ghost.]
Lauren was speechless.
The place where her finger touched began to emit a golden light. She raised the talisman paper that she had drawn and pointed it at Aloysius.
Suddenly, the interrogation room seemed to have a gust of wind. Aloysius's hair moved, and the turbid look in his eyes gradually disappeared. His body was unexpectedly straighter than before.
A few seconds later, Aloysius spoke, "You're finally back!"
His voice suddenly became full of energy, attracting the attention of the people outside the door.
Ben hurriedly continued to chat with the police officer, but the police officer waved his hand.
"Wait, Aloysius's condition seems to be a little better. We have to take advantage of this time to make a statement."
Ben tried to grab him but failed. The police officers had already opened the door of the interrogation room and entered.
Lauren turned around, but the police officers only stood in the corner. "It's fine. Go on. I'll just stand here and watch."
'Alright then, don't be scared,' Lauren thought.
Lauren asked, "What do you mean by 'You're back'?"
Aloysius recognized Lauren this time. "Aren't you the little girl we met at the amusement park?"
Lauren nodded excitedly. "You recognized me!"
"How could I not! At that time, I wanted to remind you not to talk to me, but I couldn't control myself!"
"Do you remember what happened in the past few days? We met almost every day at the amusement park. What were you and your wife doing there?"
Although Lauren had guessed the reason, she still had to confirm it.
Aloysius raised his right hand and knocked his head.
"My wife and I never go to the amusement park. But for some reason, a few days ago, when we woke up, we walked to the amusement park as if we couldn't control ourselves. We couldn't control what we wanted to say or do. It was as if something was controlling us."
[System Divine Nine: Sure enough, he was possessed by a ghost.]
"Then as for the little girl you were holding hands with yesterday, do you still remember what happened?"
"Speaking of this, it's even more surreal. I was clearly out to buy soy sauce yesterday, but when I reached the intersection, I was being controlled again. The next moment I was holding hands with a little girl. I thought it was an illusion, but the little girl suddenly disappeared, so I went home."
The policeman standing in the corner shook his head. He thought he would be able to hear something valuable, but it seemed that the old man was still not clear-headed.
Only Lauren knew that the old man's words were true, even if they were worthless, they were still true.
She walked out of the interrogation room and requested to see the videos of the missing cases in the kindergarten.
"It's all here. Master Franklin has already instructed us to compile all the surveillance videos of all the missing children in the city over the past two years."
"Wow, thank you, Officer!" Lauren tried her best to raise her head and smile. She even extended her hand and gave the police officer a thumbs up.
In the afternoon, she and Ben watched the surveillance cameras separately in the surveillance room.
Before that, Lauren had activated Ben's heavenly eye. After all, their goal was to see something that others could not.
As a result, the sound of wailing could be heard from the surveillance room from time to time.
