Tom Cruz didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I think I may have encountered some paranormal events, and I hope Master Cao can help me."
Cao Kun became interested: "What kind of paranormal event?"
Tom Cruz: "It's hard to explain over the phone. Why don't you come to my house and we can talk in person? Or, I can pick you up."
Cao Kun: "Okay, then come pick me up. The address is..."
Tom Cruz was taken aback.
He was just being polite, but Cao Kun didn't stand on ceremony and actually made him go to pick him up.
However, having already spoken, he couldn't hold it against himself: "Master Cao, wait for me a moment, I'll be there soon."
Forty minutes later, around 5 p.m., Cao Kun saw a black Bentley downstairs at the apartment building.
After he made a phone call, a driver in a business suit quickly got out of the Bentley.
The driver quickly went to the back seat and opened the car door.
Immediately, a handsome but short man got out of the car.
Tom Cruz, 36, doesn't look old at all; on the contrary, he's at the peak of his maturity, exuding masculine charm.
Although he is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, his handsome appearance and powerful aura make up for this shortcoming.
"Master Cao, I didn't expect you to be so young."
Tom Cruz walked over and shook hands with Cao Kun.
Although he concealed it well, Cao Kun still noticed that he kept glancing at the old apartment behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Perhaps he was very curious as to why an exorcist would live in such a place.
Cao Kun shook hands with him and took a close look at Tom Cruz.
His forehead was dark, his face was pale with a faint bluish tinge, and his dark circles were very obvious.
More importantly, there was a faint, ethereal aura emanating from him.
This yin energy is strange; I can't sense it when I try to perceive it carefully.
You can only perceive it when you observe the whole picture.
If Cao Kun weren't an evil cultivator, he might not have been able to discover it.
Cao Kun confirmed, "You have indeed provoked something unclean."
Tom Cruz forced a smile: "I know, get in the car and let's talk, Master Cao."
I got into the back of the Bentley with Tom Cruz, and the car drove off smoothly.
Cao Kun noticed that there was also a yin energy inside the car, but it wasn't strong; it was probably brought up by Tom Cruz.
Cao Kun asked, "Is this only happening to you, or is your wife doing it too?"
Tom Cruz: "That's how it is with my wife and me."
Cao Kun thought for a moment: "Did you just move to a new house?"
Tom Cruz looked surprised: "You can tell that?"
Cao Kun: "If you have attracted something unclean, that thing will only haunt you."
Now that you two are like this, it can only mean that you both provoked that thing.
This usually happens when moving.
Tom Cruz suddenly had much more confidence in Cao Kun: "Master Cao, can you help us solve this problem?"
Cao Kun: "We'll have to go and see for ourselves to know. But how do you know you've attracted the supernatural? Have you seen anything?"
“No,” Tom Cruz said. “We knew something had happened in that house when we bought it.”
However, the agent said they had already had an exorcist do it and guaranteed that the place was very clean.
After that, we went through a long renovation period without any problems. But then, not long after we moved in, things started going wrong.
Cao Kun: "Knowing there was a problem, you still bought it? Aren't you always very wary of this?"
Tom Cruz: "There's no way around it, houses in Beverly Hills are so hard to find, and that house was just too good, we were really tempted..."
Cao Kun wasn't very familiar with the situation in Beverly Hills, but since Tom Cruz made that choice, it must be the right one.
He naturally didn't say anything more, and asked, "What happened?"
Tom Cruz picked up a laptop, opened it, clicked on a video, and moved the screen in front of Cao Kun.
Cao Kun immediately saw the interior of a luxury mansion.
The enormous mansion was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, yet it was not tacky.
That's not the point. The point is that the video was taken at night.
After the video played for a while, the doors and windows in the room started moving on their own.
In the dressing room, the dressing table opened by itself.
Some cosmetics floated in the air and applied themselves without human intervention, as if an unseen person was applying makeup there.
In the walk-in closet, the wardrobe doors opened, and beautiful dresses flew out, twirling around the room.
A little while later, something even more terrifying happened.
The video then switched to the master bedroom.
Tom Cruz and his wife Nicole Kidman were sleeping in each other's arms when suddenly their blankets were ripped off, revealing the two of them in bed.
The two were startled awake, but perhaps because they were too tired, they didn't think much of it, picked up the blanket, and went back to sleep.
The following videos all cover similar topics.
The toilet in the bathroom keeps flushing for no reason.
The faucet keeps turning on by itself.
The kitchen was cleaned up, but the next day it was a complete mess.
Cao Kun frowned as he watched the video.
It's not that these things are too bizarre.
In the presence of spirits, it's perfectly normal for such things to happen in a house.
What struck him as odd was that all of this felt strangely familiar.
It's as if this has happened before, or I've seen it somewhere before.
However, he had only been in this world for about three months.
Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person and had never encountered these things before.
"Could it be the hippocampal effect?"
Cao Kun muttered to himself.
The so-called hippocampal effect, also known as déjà vu, is the feeling that a person has suddenly encountered something in the real world, as if they have dreamed about it before.
I believe many people have had this experience.
According to current scientific explanations, it is a brain processing error, mistaking the information in front of it for a scene from memory.
However, this is only one possible scientific explanation, and the scientific community has not yet made a definitive determination as to whether it is true or not.
Perhaps humans are born with the ability to foresee the future, and this is the concrete manifestation of that ability.
That's a bit of a tangent, let's get back to it.
Cao Kun thought about it carefully and then felt that it probably wasn't the hippocampus effect.
He frowned and tried to recall, but for a moment he still couldn't remember.
He asked Tom Cruz, "Didn't you see any other exorcists before me?"
Tom Cruz: "Of course we looked for it, but when they came, they either said there was nothing inside."
We performed exorcisms, but even then, things didn't improve, and those same things continued to happen.
Cao Kun nodded, about to speak, when suddenly he realized something and froze, exclaiming, "How is this possible?"
