American Celestial Master

Chapter 167, Graduation Examination (4)

The so-called "earth-bound spirit" is a Japanese term. In China, it often has different names depending on its location. For example, certain sections of the highway do not have any factors that are particularly likely to cause car accidents, but every year There are always some tragic car accidents. There is a saying that there are so-called "road ghosts" here. For example, in the legendary haunted houses where people are prone to death, these are "earth-bound spirits". Similarly, those who flood every year The water ghosts who find substitutes in dead rivers and reservoirs can also be regarded as a kind of water-bound spirit.

Whether they are earth-bound spirits or water-bound spirits, they are all undead spirits with very strong obsessions. They are bound to a specific location by the earth or water body and cannot leave, that is, they cannot be reincarnated.But on the other hand, the earth or water also protects them, making their spiritual bodies very strong and difficult to destroy.

In a sense, the earth-bound spirits and water-bound spirits are even the predecessors of the earth gods and water gods.If they can get rid of their obsessions, exercise self-restraint, refrain from doing evil, and practice good deeds, then it will be possible for them to follow the divine path and become land or water gods.

"If the one in the shopping mall is really an earthbound spirit, then the first victim we think is not the first one mentioned here. It may have been from a long time ago—by the way, Sean , this mall seems to be quite new?"

"The shopping mall was built at the beginning of this century, probably in 06." Sean said, "But in 12, it was re-maintained. I don't know if anything happened."

"Do you know what a remaintenance includes?" Cowell asked.

"Some of the information I brought..." Sean said as he took out the tablet.

"These little guys look a bit like Sherlock Holmes." In the dark, Lin Qiusheng glanced at them and nodded.

After a few students analyzed it themselves, they got on the plane and flew directly to Albany.After getting off the plane, a car arranged by Sean was already waiting at the airport.It was a Lincoln Navigator, so all four people could get in one car, which also made it easier for them to discuss things.

"Master Sean, where are we going, shall we go to the hotel first?" the driver asked.

Sean looked at the time, it was still early, then looked at the other people, who also had looks eager to try, and said, "No, let's go to the police station first, and talk to the police officer in charge of investigating these things. talk."

At this time, in the Albany Police Department, Sergeant Hunter, who was on vacation, had just been called back by Chief Leon.

"Hunter, I know you're on vacation, and you haven't had a break for a while. If possible, I don't want to disturb you at this time. But we have to ask you to come back and do a favor for this matter." Upon meeting, Director Leon said.

"Director, is there another big case? I know that in our business, it's always..."

"There is no new case, it is still related to the disappearance of the exorcist." Director Leon said.

"Is there any new development in this case? Director, don't tell me that some idiots ran in there again and disappeared." Sergeant Hunter said.

"No, it's just that some gentlemen want to know something from you about the disappearance case." Director Leon said, "I know it's not good to call you back just for this, but those gentlemen have a lot of background, One of them is Senator Corina's nephew. His support is very important to the whole police department, so...you get the idea. Plus, they are superheroes. If you can take the opportunity, give them Leaving some good impressions will be good for your future development." "I understand, Chief. I will work hard to do a good job." Sergeant Hunter said.

"They'll be here soon, hurry up and sort out all the information." Director Leon said.

Soon Sean and his party came to the police station.After getting out of the car, he made it clear to the police officers that they were taken to Sheriff Hunter's office.

"Hello, I am Sheriff Hunter here. The case you want to investigate now is in charge of me in the police station. Of course, you also know that there are too many things involving extraordinary powers now, and our methods It’s always difficult to deal with this kind of thing. So I don’t know how much help I can give you, but as long as I can, I will provide you with convenience as much as possible.” As soon as we met, Chief Hunter said.

"Thank you, Sheriff. We noticed that this mall had a major renovation in 12. The mall was built in 06 and it's only been six years. Why is there a major renovation ? Do you know anything about this issue? Or, do you know who you can contact to investigate this issue?" Sean asked directly, not politely.

"This matter has been going on for many years, and it was not within the scope of my previous investigation, so I can't give you a formal answer right away. But I can help you investigate. In addition, I am a local, and my home is not far from this shopping mall. Not far away. I still vaguely remember the renovation of the mall in 12. It seems that it was carried out because the new owner was not satisfied with the original building structure. The internal structure of the entire building was Changes were made, and it is said that even the load-bearing walls were moved to make room. Moreover, the construction was carried out in a hurry at that time, and there were even reports of noise nuisance calls to the police for construction at night when construction was not allowed.”

"Chief, you are such a good police officer. You still remember things that have happened so long ago," Sean said.

"Ah, this is normal, because they were working at night, and I was the one who disturbed the people with the noise, and I was the one who called the police. I was on vacation at home at the time." Sergeant Hunter said.

"Sheriff, I heard you were on vacation today too, I hope we haven't disrupted your life too badly," Sean said.

Sean asked Sergeant Hunter a few more questions, and then took his good-bye.A few people came out and got on the navigator as before.

"Master Sean, where are we going next?" the driver asked.

Sean looked at his watch, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.He said, "Let's go to the hotel."

They are planning to go to the mall at noon tomorrow. Of course, for safety reasons, they will go at noon.Although in theory, if the evil spirit over there is really an earth-bound spirit, then it is protected by the earth, and it is not without the ability to do evil even in the daytime, but the yang energy at noon still has a suppressive effect on it.

In addition, they have made various preparations for the mirror.Anyway, according to what they learned in X school, mages don't fight unprepared.
