The old woman's palm landed on the head of the female ghost before her.
In an instant, the woman's pale eyes began to tremble violently. If one could observe the inside of her body at that moment, they would find that the Soul Network connecting her entire body was flowing in reverse, forcing all soul matter back into her soul marrow. The soul marrow running through her body from her back gradually became translucent.
In an instant, the ghostly energy within the woman deflated like a balloon punctured by a needle, rapidly dissipating.
The old woman raised her palm, directly pulling a pure soul from the ghost's head. The instant the soul left the body, the ghostly energy dispersed completely.
The ghost's body collapsed to the ground, becoming dull and colorless. It was nothing more than a heap of corpse flesh made of dead cells.
The soul in the old woman's palm was tossed directly into the cloth sack behind her. She then staggered out of the alley and turned her gaze toward an old residential house roughly two blocks away.
The residential house had been built in the 1970s. Though it looked old from the outside, its foundation was far sturdier than the shoddily built structures of the present day.
In an ordinary apartment on one of the middle floors, all the lights were off. Gray clouds covered the sky, leaving the room with very low visibility.
Ode lay unconscious on the bed. Christina sat in the living room, releasing the Black Incantations from both arms to cover the entire apartment. She was merely following Father Andersen's orders, guarding Ode here while waiting for the priest and Chen Feng to destroy the evil spirits within the city.
