Anne asked with concern, "Is there anything we can do to help?"
Cao Kun: "Only I can do this."
Anne thought for a moment, then took out a pre-prepared check from her pocket: "This is $200,000. Consider it an advance payment. I hope it can help Master Cao Kun."
Cao Kun took the check: "I'll be there promptly at 10 p.m. tonight."
After saying that, he ran into the yard in the rain, got into his car, and quickly drove away.
Paul breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Cao Kun leave: "He doesn't seem to have seen through our plan."
That 200,000 yuan was all our savings; we can only pay him back the rest slowly.
As long as he can keep Pete safe.
Anne smiled gently: "Don't worry, darling, Pete will be fine."
As she spoke, a flash of blue light suddenly appeared in Annie's eyes.
Paul glanced at it once, then his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.
Just as he collapsed, people slowly emerged from the enormous room.
Before long, there were more than thirty people.
These people included both men and women, the oldest being around 60 years old and the youngest only in their 20s.
They all looked in the direction Cao Kun had left, and one of them said, "Is this the exorcist named Cao Kun?"
Anne said calmly, "I've asked around, and it's definitely him."
"Sacrificing him will allow the adult's complete form to descend?"
"At least it can bring forth a power much stronger than it is now."
"Then don't let him go."
What if he doesn't come tonight?
"Now that he has shown himself, sir, you have already remembered his presence. He can't escape."
"He must die."
"Hahaha……"
These people burst into excited laughter, which grew louder and louder.
…………
In the rain.
Cao Kun's pickup truck was revved to the max and sped off.
Now he knows where that sense of crisis comes from.
"Damn it, I've actually been targeted by Baimon, one of the seventy-two demons of Solomon."
"Grass!"
Cao Kun was so angry that he started cursing.
Knowing that a crisis was imminent, how could Cao Kun not be extremely cautious?
At first, he felt the crisis came from Robert Logan.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imagine what kind of danger Robert Logan could pose to him under his complete control.
Therefore, he already had some doubts after receiving the call requesting his services.
Even if this commission is the source of the crisis, we still have to take a look at it in order to make targeted preparations.
Only then can we try to solve it.
Otherwise, that sense of crisis will persist.
He never expected that what he encountered this time would be a real-life version of the movie "Hereditary".
In the movie "Hereditary", the biggest boss is Baimon, the ninth of the seventy-two demons of Solomon.
Its appearance is that of a woman with a man's body, and its mount is a dromedary camel.
He was highly accomplished in science, art, and esoteric arts.
It can also impart relevant knowledge to others in an instant.
A woman named Ellen learned the evil magic of summoning Baimon from somewhere and thus created a cult.
His purpose was to summon Baimon to the human world, thereby obtaining the relevant knowledge and acquiring a great deal of wealth.
For this, the woman named Ellen sacrificed herself and her entire family.
This includes one's own daughter, son, granddaughter, and grandson.
In the movie, Baimon first possesses his granddaughter Charlie to fulfill the woman's request.
Then, Charlie possessed Peter's body, fulfilling the requirements of a male body.
In the end, Baimon successfully descended, donned his crown, and the cultists knelt in worship.
The movie ends with such a scene, leaving the viewer with a profound sense of fear.
In the movie, the female lead, Annie, seems to be kept in the dark the whole time; she's a naive and innocent character.
He was even tricked by cultists into performing a soul-summoning ritual, which is why he was summoned by Baimon.
But in reality, how could that be possible?
Since Allen wanted to summon Baimon, and was even willing to sacrifice his own grandchildren, how could he possibly spare his own daughter?
This can be seen from the fact that her son died.
She didn't care about the lives of her loved ones; all she cared about was herself.
She was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of Baimon's arrival.
Because she firmly believed that Baimon could resurrect her.
At that time, he will become Baimon's agent on earth and control the entire sect.
She was more intoxicated by this power than by mere wealth.
Therefore, Anne must have known about it all along.
She also carried on her mother's last wishes.
When Cao Kun received the call, he didn't think much of it at first, assuming it was just a simple case of being possessed by a ghost.
But once he entered the house, he realized something was wrong.
The house was filled with an overwhelming sense of malevolence.
Compared to his evil-gathering place, it is no better or worse.
In a place like this, let alone ordinary people, even weak ghosts couldn't stay.
But how could those people hiding inside the house possibly escape his intuition?
At that moment, he realized that this was not a simple exorcism request.
After some observation and subtle questioning, he concluded that the movie "Hereditary" had come true.
After this movie became a reality, several changes occurred.
First, the appearance of Annie's family has improved exponentially.
In the movie, the family's appearance is extremely ordinary, even below average.
But actually, being good-looking is more reasonable.
If you were to be born, would you choose the beautiful one or the ugly one?
With so many people in the cult, Baimon wasn't without other options.
Secondly, in the movie, although Baimon eventually succeeded in descending, he was not particularly powerful.
That was one of the seventy-two demon gods, but its strength was relatively ordinary.
Even when he tried to possess her, Peter broke free several times.
In the end, they managed to scare Peter so much that he fell off the building and died, thus seizing the opportunity to succeed.
This can't be described as ordinary; it's far too weak.
This indicates that what descended was not the complete form.
In reality, it might only be a very, very small part of that power.
Therefore, he needs to rely on a more powerful force to unleash more of his own power and descend into the world.
Powerful evil spirits rarely descend upon the human world.
For example, the ram, who is suspected to be Satan, is still collecting souls everywhere, and they must be souls that are willingly offered as sacrifices.
This one of the seventy-two demonic pillars, although much weaker than Satan, could not possibly descend so easily.
Thus, Cao Kun, a powerful exorcist who has recently become very famous in the industry, was targeted by Bai Meng.
He intends to use Cao Kun's immense power to sacrifice Cao Kun to himself, and then unleash an even greater power.
This whole affair, from beginning to end, was a setup, and the goal was to target Cao Kun.
If he wasn't mistaken, that villa was rented by Annie; it wasn't theirs at all.
If they were really that rich, their family probably wouldn't be involved in any cults with such slim chances of success.
Even if someone does believe in a cult, those cult members wouldn't be that low-class.
"Grass!"
Cao Kun launched into another tirade.
The pickup truck sped home.
Cao Kun first called Yamashita Seiko: "Come back immediately."
