It did not feel any intimidation from Yan Junze, but the fact that it was being brutally beaten by him was undeniable.
The beating sounds from the bathroom quickly alarmed the people in the living room. Si Dehua was the first to rush over, followed closely by everyone else. They huddled at the bathroom door, listening intently to the noises inside without daring to breathe too loudly.
There were no cries of pain; in fact, this strangeness wouldn’t make any sound other than the heavy thuds of blows and Yan Junze gasping for air.
Before long, Yan Junze was still striking, and as he did so, he spoke out, “Seeking a vessel, seeking a vessel, could you not have chosen something better to do than seek a vessel? And above all, on my head. Do you know how many strangenesses are after me? There are loads. To find me, you’ll need to take a number!”
Si Nannan, looking terrified, turned to Huahua. Huahua believed that her best friend’s sense of alarm came not from fear of that strangeness.
Shivering, Si Nannan said, “Your… exorcist friend, he’s quite vicious.”
...
Huahua forced a smile, “I’ve just realized, even strangenesses fear him.”
In the bathroom, he watched as the strangeness in front of him gradually shrank and finally condensed into an indescribable mass.
Yan Junze took a deep breath, slowing down the frequency of his blows, but he continued to beat the thing ruthlessly. About five minutes later, the condensed mass had completely disappeared, and only then did he stop.
If he could perform exorcisms in a more relaxed manner, he wouldn’t want to resort to violence. The task was clear, though. The creature’s ultimate goal was to possess, leaving no other option.
Since reasoning was out of the question, his Black Spirit Mallet was the final argument.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that the other two Black Spirit Pearls he had just obtained were not yet fixed into the mallet, Yan Junze was certain that, given the low resistance of the creature before him, a single strike would have sufficed.
After a while, he stowed the mallet away, opened the bathroom door and, mimicking the Crawler Monster (though certainly not with his tongue), tidied up his hair, and walked out.
Those at the door immediately looked inside the bathroom but saw nothing.
Yan Junze returned to the living room couch, took a deep gulp of tea, caught his breath, and said, “From now on, everyone can go about their own business. That strangeness should be eradicated, but I’ll keep observing.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a message popped up in his mind, indicating task completion.
[Shadow, Trembling with Fear (Medium), completed, gained 800 Different Dimension Energy points.]
Yan Junze’s lips curled into a slight smile; his speculation had been correct. There was only one strangeness, but it could seek vessels from multiple people at once. As long as it achieved its purpose with one person, it’d be satisfied.
Upon hearing Yan Junze’s words, the three members of the Si Family were somewhat skeptical, after all, they had only heard the sounds of beating from the bathroom and hadn’t seen any strangeness themselves.
But since Yan Junze had said so, they did not dare show their doubts and scattered to their own devices, with Si Dehua chatting with Yan Junze, Si Nannan and Huahua heading to the bedroom, and Rong Guilan busy in the kitchen.
Nothing unusual occurred until dinnertime came.
At this moment, the Si Family’s hearts finally began to settle, warming up to Yan Junze even more.
After calling Xiang Er back, they all sat down for dinner, then Yan Junze excused himself, saying it was getting late and he had to pack his luggage at the university, to catch a flight to Shuntian the next day.
At his departure, Si Dehua thoughtfully handed him a bank card with a string of numbers written on the back.
Although he was helping Huahua, Yan Junze, knowing that the Si Family was affluent, did not refuse and accepted the card.
“The world these days is full of oddities. Be careful with everything, and throw away that pizza you ordered. It’s not safe to eat,” he advised.
With those parting words, Yan Junze left with Huahua and Xiang Er, departing from the Si Family home.
They hailed a taxi on the street. Only after offering to pay double the fare did the driver agree to go to the suburban Science and Technology University.
However, no sooner had the three of them settled into the car when Yan Junze’s phone rang. To his surprise, the caller was He Yun, the liaison of the exorcist team, whom he hadn’t been in contact with for a long time.
After pressing the accept call button, Yan Junze said, “Hello, He Yun, it’s been a while since we last talked.”
He Yun seemed to have recovered from the traumatic incident involving her brother’s death during the Person in the Mirror task. Her voice was calm, exuding professionalism, “Hello, Yan Junze. We have a new task that requires your attention.”
“Now?” Yan Junze exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, right now.”
“I was planning to return to Shuntian tomorrow.”
“Considering your capabilities, it might delay you for a day or two. It’s a superior’s command, sorry about this,” He Yun’s tone embarrassed.
Yan Junze always had smooth dealings with her and bore no ill will towards her personally. He nodded and said, “Tell me, what’s the task?”
“In recent days, near your university, which is also Southern District under Tianmeng, we’ve received several reports of strangeness. Multiple families have been harassed by strangenesses with varying symptoms, but one thing was common before the incidents.”
“What’s that?”
“They all had ordered takeout.”
