Exorcism Still Had Its Scientific Basis

Jennifer admits she's all looks and no brains, but having repeatedly fallen into Russell's traps, she's learned a lesson the hard way. So, no matter how persuasive Russell's arguments are, she simply won't listen.

Jennifer has made progress, but she has overlooked the existence of the contract. Russell is not asking for her opinion, but simply telling her a given fact.

So, outwardly cursing and inwardly cursing, one's body still involuntarily obeys the contract's command.

Anyone who has seen the movie The Exorcist knows that breaking a demon's possession is very troublesome. First, you need one or two experienced priests, plus props such as Holy Water, Bible, Cross.

Russell had none of these. He dared to do so because he possessed a Vohrs Manuscript that recorded the Witch' unique exorcism techniques.

Furthermore, Jennifer's situation isn't as severe as demonic possession. She's only been tainted by the devil's aura, not invaded by his will. If she continues to eat people, she could truly become a demon herself, but fortunately, it's not too late for now.

Russell drew Magic Circle on the ground with a fork in his hand, silently chanting an incantation. The circle responded with a whisper and began to glow faintly. Jennifer lay in the center of the Magic Circle, feeling the ground burning hot. She tried to escape but was tightly bound by Magic Power formed bandages and could not move.

The Witch' method of exorcism is simple, and like their unfortunate fate, it involves fire. The Witch place the creature corrupted by demonic energy on Magic Circle and simmer it over a low flame to evaporate the demonic energy within the creature.

It sounds far-fetched, but upon closer inspection, it seems to have some scientific basis, similar to the decomposition of oxides under high-temperature conditions.

Demon Jennifer Ghost = High Temperature = Jennifer + Devil

Simple, direct, and effective... probably!

Russell's first exorcism was a novice with no experience, and he kept failing to control the heat, burning Jennifer until she screamed in agony.

Wisps of black smoke rose from Jennifer's eyes, mouth, nose, ears, and pores—basically, from any opening.

That's why they say practice is the fastest way to learn. Russell developed a knack for cooking by constantly cooking, and quickly grew into a master chef, especially in his control of the heat, which was perfect.

Gradually, the black aura emanating from Jennifer's body decreased, and viscous black droplets emerged from her pores, somewhat like a marrow cleansing and meridian cleansing. However, this black liquid was far more dangerous than the impurities in a martial artist's body; it was demonic energy entrenched in her internal organs.

Russell chanted a spell, suddenly increasing his Magic Power output. The sudden rise in temperature evaporated the black liquid completely, while also scalding Jennifer until she was as red as a crayfish.

After the incantation was finished, the Magic Circle dimmed, and the demonic energy within Jennifer's body was cleared away. She felt as if she had been pulled out of the water, her clothes clinging to her body, and her hair soaked with sweat.

The negative effects of the demonic energy removal appeared; Jennifer's chest was stained red with a large amount of blood. She had been stabbed multiple times when she was sacrificed to the devil, and she was only able to survive because of the demonic energy. Now that the demonic energy was gone, she had returned to her severely injured and incurable state.

Jennifer opened her mouth, tears welling in her eyes, and reached out to Russell, wanting to say something, but could only spit out blood.

Russell thought to himself that this was troublesome. The current situation was not what he had expected. Seeing that Jennifer's pupils were starting to dilate, he shook his head and took out a bottle of "Sister Juice" from his pocket.

The Sister Juice is equivalent to the blue bottle plus the red bottle. Although the name is embarrassing, its healing effect is indeed outstanding. Jennifer was given a sip, and her injuries were quickly healed.

[Bite!]

[The host has come into contact with the story character Jennifer, triggering Lottery Draw and granting two chances to draw prizes. Would you like to draw now?]

The unexpected reward surprised Russell: "What's this? Good deeds are rewarded?"

"That's true, judging by appearance alone, I'm also in the lawful good camp."

Russell glanced at Jennifer, and an unexpected joy fell from the sky. He had the idea of immediately drawing a prize. Jennifer might be a bit weak, but her abilities were by no means weak.

Telekinesis, flight, Immortal Body— Russell coveted each of them immensely.

"System, activate Jennifer... wait, don't draw the lottery for now." Russell suddenly remembered that Jennifer was just an ordinary person now, and activating the lottery triggered by her would only lead to disaster.

Skill Card: Tear (Don't overthink it, it's just what it sounds like)

Character Card: Jennifer (Do you have many Skill Cards that you don't know how to use? No problem, now's your chance)

Skill Card: Poor Student (Give up, I'll eat my hat if you get 60 points)

Imagining the aforementioned useless cards, Russell shuddered. It was too exciting. To be on the safe side, he'd save them until he left the mission world.

Jennifer had already fainted. Russell carried her on his shoulder and returned the way he came. Ordinary people have no value in a contract, so Russell directly abandoned his slave relationship with Jennifer.

It would have been better if he hadn't untied it, because once he did, he discovered something strange: Jason's soul was still in his grasp. Without abandoning the contract, he could summon Jason even if Jason were in hell.

"System, can I take Jason out of the mission world?" Russell felt he had discovered a shortcut to increase his strength. It didn't matter if he encountered enemies he couldn't defeat; he could team up with others.

"Well... Uncle Luo, there's no reference information in the database, so I can't answer your question accurately."

"What about your previous hosts? Not a single successful case?"

"Most hosts die after experiencing one world. A few lucky ones never signed an absolute slave contract with the characters in the story. They just went for it and killed them one by one, taking down the characters in a straightforward, easy way."

"A straight push! That's amazing?"

"It's alright, if you can't push it, you'll just kneel down."

Russell: "..."

Back home, Russell tossed Jennifer onto the sofa and drove his Lamborghini toward the Slaughterhouse.

Although he had never seen Leatherface, Russell believed in his existence. After all, he was on par with the other three major serial killers. Wouldn't Leatherface have any pride if he were singled out?

There are four Slaughterhouse near Mug Town. Russell doesn't need to go looking for them one by one. Everything is written in the Vohrs Manuscript. He knows exactly where Leatherface is.

Among the four major serial killers, Leatherface is probably the weakest. He is just a strong and healthy human, not Immortal Body, and can be taken down with a single bullet.

With that thought in mind, Russell arrived at the Slaughterhouse and decisively shot and killed Leatherface, but...

After dealing with the four murderers, he did not receive a system notification indicating that the mission was complete.

"Where did things go wrong? Could it be... that I didn't kill Leatherface?" Russell asked himself, "Impossible. The system gave me his name and even triggered a lottery. There's no mistake."

"What exactly is wrong..."

Russell pulled out a map and started sketching on his own drafts, marking Crystal Lake, Deadly Curve, Hell Amusement Park, Elm Street, and the Slaughterhouse with striking red crosses.

"The mental hospital can be considered Freddy's area of operation. Now that Nightmare is dead, there's no need to pay attention to it anymore." Russell raised his hand and crossed it out again.

Of the eight nodes of the Magic Circle, only the school and Devil's Waterfall remain. If any are missed, they can only be at these two locations.

"Clearly, this is a multiple-choice question with a single, obvious answer."

Devil's Waterfall was undoubtedly the most dangerous place, and the passage connecting hell and earth was definitely not a place Russell could roam freely. He chose the school based on his own heart.

Just as his earlier deduction that the transfer student's identity was very useful, there must be something else hidden in the school that he missed while skipping class.

"Perhaps from the very beginning, my strategy was off track. There were so many girls in school eagerly waiting to be won over, but I only pursued Jennifer and then stopped, which is why the storylines for the other girls haven't been triggered yet..."

Russell secretly blamed himself, realizing that his integrity had ruined him. He could no longer be so reserved; when it came to sacrificing his virtue for the mission, he should never hesitate.

My editor told me that this book will be available on April 1st.

My heart is in turmoil. If I remember correctly, that day was April Fool's Day. What if my readers frantically subscribed and I mistakenly thought I was a top author?
