145. Evil Spirit in the Dream

"Thanks!"

Sulu stood up; at this moment, this Mr. Lux was his employer.

However, the number of guards surrounding the other side was clearly not that many.

He glanced at the two men behind Lux.

These two are clearly brothers; they look very alike, have calm expressions, and stand upright like granite sculptures.

Just now, when he made his move, she didn't even blink, clearly able to perceive his intentions.

"These are the Gray brothers! Introduced by the Church, they're the bodyguards I hired at great expense!"

Lux introduced Sulu to him.

At this point, the two brothers nodded, as if to say hello.

"Well... Mr. Employer, I'm hired to protect your safety and investigate matters related to Evil Spirit, and I have a few questions I'd like to ask you!"

Sulu pulled out a pen and paper, clearly not optimistic about the Gray brothers.

These two are clearly physical experts; they could easily handle being bodyguards, darting back and forth through a hail of bullets, but when it comes to dealing with Evil Spirit, they're completely lost.

Unfortunately, spellcasters are extremely hard to find.

Even among spellcasters, not every one of them necessarily has knowledge of the Spirit World.

'If one could truly enter a dream, that would almost be a spirit that has touched the second layer of the Mind World... Such a being is extremely difficult to capture...'

'And how many things does the Federation have every day? The Church and the Bureau 11 in Charles City may not have enough manpower... So we can only put this 'minor matter' aside for now, after all, the Evil Spirit here haven't started killing yet...'

Sulu began to understand something.

"Go ahead and ask!"

Mr. Lux ordered a servant to bring him some black tea, took a sip, and looked gloomy.

"That Evil Spirit... it started about six months ago, right?"

"That's right, I'll never forget that nightmare at the very beginning of this year!" Lux's facial muscles twitched, as if he was recalling something.

"So... during the same period of time, did anything significant or strange happen around you?"

Sulu then asked.

"Event?"

Lux sighed, "That period was peaceful... If I had to say something, it was that my little Angel, Sonia, passed away... May she be well in the Divine Kingdom of the Goddess of Light!"

"Daughter... Sonia?"

Sulu's mind raced. "You know... death is the most mysterious thing. Perhaps your daughter's death gave you some kind of hint?"

"No! Impossible! My Sonia would never harm me!"

Lux was very stubborn about this.

"Detective... As such an obvious clue, the Bishop of the Goddess of Light raised the same question last time, and even examined the young lady's grave, claiming there was absolutely nothing wrong with it."

At this moment, the butler, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"Feel sorry..."

Sulu expressed his apologies.

"It's nothing... I'll have the butler prepare a room for you. As for security, you can contact the Gray brothers..."

Lux waved his hand wearily.

He had originally planned to have dinner with the new detective.

But now, he was dejected and only wanted to go back and pray to the Goddess.

"I don't have that much free time to slowly investigate the case..."

Late at night, in a guest room at the Colington Manor.

Sulu pursed her lips.

He searched the room but found nothing unusual, then locked the door and drew the curtains.

"If we're talking about who knows the most about the manor, besides Lux himself, it's also the butler Old Mad."

Sulu wasn't about to rashly enter Lux's mind. After all, as a prominent figure in Charles City, and now harassed by Evil Spirit in his dream, he didn't know what strange defenses Lux might have set up.

In comparison, Old Mad's goal was much smaller.

Of course, it's best to observe first.

"Soul Projection!"

Sulu's soul leaped into the second layer of the Spirit World, observing his surroundings.

"That direction... is that Lux's master bedroom? So there really is a superhuman lurking... Apart from that, all the other servants in the manor are normal..."

He found Old Mad's Mind Secret Realm and entered it.

"Spirit Pressure!"

With a spiritual power of 5.1, the maze crumbled instantly upon the slightest release of its aura, revealing an old man at its core.

"Old Mad!"

Sulu strode over and grabbed the old butler he'd seen several times during the day. "Answer my question! Did Sonia really die six months ago?"

"Yes..."

Old Mad's core consciousness cannot lie; it answers directly.

How did she die?

"Died of illness..."

Is there anything unusual about it?

"Miss... Miss previously fell in love with a poor man, and even rejected the fiancé arranged for her by the master. The master was very angry and confined her to the bedroom..."

Old Mad slowly revealed a secret.

"What is this? Romeo and Juliet?"

Sulu was somewhat speechless, but having found a clue, he immediately asked, "Where is that man? What's his name? Where is he?"

"His name... was Lanny! He also committed suicide for love on the third day after Miss's burial."

Old Mad said.

"Oh, he's dead too? Where is his grave?"

Sulu was somewhat surprised, but he was not prepared to give up.

A moment later, having received the news, he stepped out of the secret realm, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

He saw a spirit!

A spirit, just like him, capable of moving freely within the Mind World!

"Evil Spirit?"

Sulu remained motionless, hidden behind numerous Mind Secret Realm.

In his gaze, the Evil Spirit had a blank expression, wore a plain blue denim overall style typical of Charles City, had messy hair like a bird's nest, and looked like a young laborer.

But at this moment, his expression was blank, his body was semi-transparent, and from the knees down there were only empty trouser legs, making him look like a ghost!

Even the aura emanating from him was extremely dangerous, reaching the level of the second tier.

'However... those spirits capable of probing the Mind World generally possess second-tier strength...'

Sulu quietly followed behind the Evil Spirit Evil Spirit and found its actions quite interesting.

Seeing so many Mind Secret Realm around it, it did not randomly choose to enter and destroy them. Its actions were not as regular as those of the Cursed Spirit. Instead, it seemed to be without consciousness, wandering around incessantly. Sometimes it would even return to the first layer of the Spirit World and explore the Colington Manor within the Spirit World.

"Could he... be...?"

Sulu gradually began to have a guess.

Ta-da!

Just then, the Pointer the bronze clock in the real world quietly pointed to twelve o'clock, striking repeatedly.

The Evil Spirit, in the form of a young man, suddenly changed.

A hint of crimson appeared in his eyes, making his face contort in pain and revealing a struggle.

It automatically descended into the real world, its crimson pupils scanning its surroundings as if searching for a target.

Meow~

Just then, a black cat gracefully leaped down from the flowerbed.

The next moment, its cries turned into terror.

"Meow!"

Blood splattered!
