American Exorcism Male God

The staircase led downward, the overhead spotlights casting a gentle glow, with different styles of paintings hanging on both sides. Even to Xu Yi's discerning eye, there was no fault to be found; clearly, they were all works of famous artists.

This staircase didn't seem like it was heading to a basement but rather appeared to be the entrance to some upscale ball.

Ed and Rolin were leading the way ahead, with Xu Yi in the middle, and a little tail following behind—the persistent little Judy, who insisted on coming along.

After dealing with the evil spirit incident in Harrisville, Xu Yi and Rolin returned together.

Ed had also gone through his hospital discharge procedures, preparing to rest and recover at home.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thanks to his special physique, Ed's external injuries had already healed; now, it was time for the recovery from the sequelae, which would take quite some time.

Xu Yi's expression was invigorated; today was the day he would "visit" the Warrens' paranormal collection room.

"I wonder to what extent the Eyes of Obscurity can grow?"

At the end of the staircase stood a thick metal door engraved with countless curses to suppress evil spirits.

Xu Yi hesitated for a moment before stuffing the Annabelle doll into his pocket and pulling the zipper closed.

Ever since Annabelle had devoured the power of the Evil God, she had become a bit irritable, menacing any soul that came near her.

The last time he encountered a wandering soul on the street, just because it glanced at Xu Yi, Annabelle flung it away.

To avoid situations of "What are you looking at?" and "What about it?" Xu Yi had to tuck the Annabelle doll into his pocket, signaling her to tone it down a bit.

In Xu Yi's view, Annabelle's little temperament wasn't a big deal; who else had such terrifying potential?

Since devouring the power of the Evil God Bashiiba, Annabelle's entries had once again transformed.

[Annabelle's Treasure Box (Blue Epic), entry evolving, evolution target: "Annabelle's Toy House (Red Common)"]

That's right, the toy box that was already of blue epic quality still had the potential to evolve further into a "red entry".

"White, green, blue; red, gold, purple"—these are the ranks for the "lower three tiers" and the "upper three tiers" of entries.

Although it's only a difference of one tier, the significance they represent is utterly different—the upper-tier entries are already on the level of legendary creatures.

[Current evolution progress: 12/5000]

Seeing the progress bar, a faint sadness washed over Xu Yi.

That is to say, he would need to find about 500 evil spirits similar to Bashiiba, refine them into Soul Jades, and feed them to Annabelle to evolve her.

Evil spirits are easy to find, but those like Bashiiba that carry the breath of the Evil God hardly appear one in a hundred; the difficulty is imaginable.

"Seems like there's a faster way?" Xu Yi thought to himself.

That would be to directly kill and devour a great Evil God!

But that was just wishful thinking; with his current strength, forcibly challenging a great Evil God would be courting death.

The metal door, inscribed with curses, was pushed open, and Ed turned on the lights inside, revealing the basement scene before their eyes.

"This is practically a museum!" Xu Yi exclaimed in amazement.

The basement was a treasure trove, displaying all sorts of bizarre items, blood-stained bronzemens, mottled swan porcelain ornaments, verdigris-covered longswords...

"What do you think? Not bad, right?"

Ed was pleased with Xu Yi's reaction, his enthusiasm high, as if a seasoned fisherman was showing off his fishing gear to an amateur.

In Ed's mind, Xu Yi was a fellow enthusiast with the same hobbies.

"It's truly impressive!" Xu Yi said with heartfelt admiration.

The collection of paranormal artifacts was so vast, it was hard to imagine how many paranormal incidents the Warrens had dealt with.

He looked around and surprisingly didn't feel much malice. Logically, with so many paranormal objects gathered together, the place should have been full of resentful spirits by now.

The only explanation Xu Yi could think of was that the basement had been arranged with an extremely powerful suppressing array.

"What are these glass cases?" Xu Yi keenly noticed something different about the artifacts.

Many paranormal items were scattered throughout the Collection Room, and they were treated differently—some were placed on shelves, some piled directly on the floor... but a very few were kept in transparent glass cases, carefully preserved.

"You do have a keen eye!" Ed remarked in surprise.

Normally, people who come here are drawn to the wide array of paranormal items, and few pay attention to the glass cases housing them.

Actually, Xu Yi himself didn't know what those glass cases were; it was just an intuition that made him feel they were out of the ordinary.

"The entities sealed within these boxes are all very powerful evil spirits or demons," Ed explained.

"How do they compare to the Evil God we encountered that night?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"The Evil God from that night was quite special, even among my collection it would rank towards the top," Ed recalled the events of that night with a hint of residual fear.

Xu Yi couldn't help but click his tongue secretly. Because of his contract with Annabelle, he was well aware of the doll's potential, which indirectly reflected the terror of the Evil God.

Such fearsome artifacts were actually sealed in small glass boxes, illustrating how strong the sealing ability of these boxes must be.

"These glass boxes..."

Xu Yi had not finished speaking when Ed interrupted him.

"Sorry, I don't have any 'Magic-Prohibiting Boxes' to spare," he said.

Though his time spent with Xu Yi was short, Ed had quite a clear understanding of Xu Yi's certain "preferences."

"You really know me too well," Xu Yi complained with a bit of frustration. Then changing his tone, he asked, "Where do these Magic-Prohibiting Boxes come from? You can at least tell me that, right?"

"They're from a certain organization whose name I can't tell you at the moment, and as a friend, I'd advise you not to get involved with them," Ed said with a mixture of disgust and helplessness in his eyes.

Xu Yi became curious. What kind of organization could make Ed act so secretive?

"What is this wolf?"

Xu Yi looked at the enormous wolf head mounted on the wall and changed the subject.

If the other party was reluctant to share, it would be impolite to pry any further. Xu Yi's emotional intelligence was not that low.

"This is the skull of a fallen werewolf," Ed said as he began to talk enthusiastically about his cherished collection.

"A werewolf? The werewolves that are natural enemies of vampires?"

Xu Yi was startled. He had thought it was just a wild wolf's skull and did not expect it to be a werewolf's.

He knew werewolves and vampires existed in this world, having learned about them through newspapers, but he had never seen a real one.

"Yes, it's very rare for ordinary people to encounter werewolves or vampires. They are already rare, and in modern times, they've managed to invent Magic Artifacts to conceal their bloodlines, blending into the crowd, making it very difficult for even the church to discover them," Ed volunteered the information.

"How powerful are werewolves?" Xu Yi was a bit curious.

"Very strong. They possess a very powerful recovery ability; regular bullets are practically useless against them," Ed continued.

"If it happens in the wilderness, it's not too bad, but if it's in the city, then it's a disaster; because you can't use heavy weaponry, werewolves can rampage unchecked. There was an incident where a werewolf attacked the church..."

"What happened?" Xu Yi listened with great interest.

"Although the werewolf didn't succeed, the church didn't manage to capture it either. For the vast church, that was a very embarrassing incident. Afterwards, they spent a great deal of resources to develop something. Guess what it was?" Ed teased.

"Demon-Breaking Silver Bullets!" A lightbulb went off in Xu Yi's head.

Ed sighed, "You're going to make me feel very unaccomplished."

The three types of bullets in the Alchemical Revolver Messiah were actually intended for different types of Dark Creatures.

Demon-Breaking Flame Bullets were used to fight evil spirits and demons.

Grim Reaper Piercing Bullets were used to fight supernatural species like unicorns.

And Demon-Breaking Silver Bullets were used for creatures with strong recovery abilities, like werewolves and vampires.

"Mr. Warren, could you help me get some Demon-Breaking Silver Bullets?" Xu Yi suddenly had a new idea.

"Though the production of Demon-Breaking Silver Bullets is low, considering my relationship with the church, it shouldn't be a problem to get some," Ed agreed with a nod.

"Mr. Ed is so generous!" Xu Yi praised sincerely.

After Ed's words, Xu Yi's mind opened up.

He thought about the "Hyper Accelerated Regeneration" Entries; he currently had 2 fragments and needed 3 more.

In fact, to get the fragments of "Hyper Accelerated Regeneration," you didn't necessarily have to look for demons like Jason. You could start with werewolves and vampires.

"But from what Ed says, werewolves and vampires might not be easy to find."

Xu Yi's request for Demon-Breaking Silver Bullets was just a precaution.
