Running A Cemetery in North America

Ding!

Upon seeing the account update showing 500,000 US dollars, Sun Yan immediately put on his big red numbered shirt and donned the Nuo mask.

He picked up the golden halberd and began performing the Nuo Opera Opening Dance in front of the crib.

Although there are countless exorcism techniques in the world, the key lies in one's background and profound heritage.

How do divine spirits come to be; their achievements in life and their deification after death depend on recognition and worship from mortals.

The more incense they receive, the more believers they have, the greater the mana of the divine spirits.

Worldly divine spirits generally fall into three categories: emerging from mythology like the Ancestral Masters of the Three Pristine Ones, the Jade Emperor, and the Buddha Bodhisattva.

Emerging from novels, such as the Monkey King and Wang Lingguan.

And emerging from history, exemplified by Lord Guan, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Mazu, and Bao Zheng.

As long as they receive the faith and worship of many people, even a mortal can be deified after death.

But in some small countries where local mythology is weak, and there are no ancient divine spirits, what should be done?

They naturally turn to the worship of spirit monsters, wild beasts, vegetation, and even ancestral souls.

It is imaginable that calling upon such divine spirits, their power wouldn't be too strong.

Therefore, Jin Ronggen's failure is quite reasonable.

From the moment Sun Yan stepped into the room, he sensed that the problem hidden within the baby was far from simple.

He had long been prepared to step in should Jin Ronggen fail.

At this moment, as he performed the Nuo Opera Dance, an invisible force emanated from Sun Yan's golden halberd and the big red numbered shirt.

The Mountain-Opening Fierce General, being an evil god in Nuo Opera, cannot allow phantoms and monsters to persist wherever he goes.

As Sun Yan's Mountain Opening Dance began, the baby's body on the bed started trembling violently, and drops of black water seeped from his skin.

The baby's expression instantly became hideously fierce, baring its teeth menacingly at Sun Yan and said, "This, this is none of your business, stop, or I will fight you endlessly!"

A gust of dark wind suddenly swept through the room, causing the curtains to tremble and the furniture to creak.

Behind the Nuo mask, Sun Yan's eyes calmly observed everything.

Exorcism like Jin Ronggen's dealt merely with appearances; even if an evil spirit was expelled, it was only at the surface level.

Not only would it fail to eradicate the problem, but it could also invite the evil spirit into oneself.

And now, the hidden mastermind behind the baby's possession was starting to reveal itself.

The bodyguards and maids nearby were utterly shocked to see the baby speak. They had never witnessed such a scene and were chilled to the bone.

Facing the evil spirit's threat, Sun Yan was unfazed, continuing to perform the Mountain Opening Dance while waving the golden halberd above the baby's body.

The golden halberd symbolizes the power of metal and weapons, which are precisely what spirits and ghosts fear most.

A large amount of black energy immediately drifted out of the baby's body, eventually being forced to gather into a blurry human face, fleeing hastily towards the window.

The moment it flew out of the window, it was met by the blazing sun outside, causing the human face to instantly dissipate.

With a sweep of his Celestial Eye, Sun Yan confirmed that there was no more Yin energy on the baby, and only now did he truly succeed in dispelling the evil.

Removing the Nuo mask, Sun Yan pondered; judging by the previous situation, the entity possessing the child was no ordinary evil spirit but rather someone orchestrating from behind the scenes.

If the mastermind isn't dealt with, once he leaves, the child might fall victim again.

Thinking of this, Sun Yan couldn't help but feel smug.

Initially thinking it was just an ordinary exorcism job, it turned out to be a significant task, making him consider the possibility of a second charge.

...

"Be good, baby, let daddy hold you."

In the study, Park Guochang sat on the sofa, taking his child from the nanny's arms and affectionately hugging them.

When he learned from the secretary that his son's possession problem had been resolved, he rushed back immediately without stopping.

It was clear that Park Guochang, this wealthy man, still valued his child very much.

"I really can't thank you enough, Mr. Jackson." Park Guochang lifted his head to thank Sun Yan.

"No worries, I only work for money. You pay, I work; we owe each other nothing."

Sun Yan shook his head and said, "However, Mr. Park, you shouldn't be too optimistic right now. Your child's issue has only been temporarily resolved. Similar incidents may very well happen again in the future."

Upon hearing this, the previously overjoyed expression on Park Guochang's face froze instantly.

Standing next to Park Guochang, Cui Yuanxi immediately and discontentedly reminded, "Jackson, we transferred the money to you in advance. Exorcising the child is your job. If you haven't completed it, not only should the money be refunded, but also compensated doubly."

"Secretary Cui, you may have misunderstood me. The evil spirit in your child has indeed been exorcised by me. If no one targets him again, the child will absolutely be healthy in the future,

but the problem is... Mr. Park, your child's possession was premeditated; someone had manipulated his body. I can help with this exorcism, but it doesn't mean your child will have another chance, understand?

Only by finding the root cause and solving the problem from the source can you achieve a permanent solution, otherwise your child might face another crisis at any time." Sun Yan explained seriously.

Park Guochang couldn't help but furrow his brows, "Mr. Jackson, my child is usually taken care of by people I trust, outsiders simply can't get near him. You say someone targeted my child, based on what?"

"The evil spirit attached to your child's body this time is called a Nure-onna, a wandering soul of a woman drowned at sea, with a snake-like lower half and a woman's upper half. This kind of evil spirit is most famous in Japan,

and a person possessed by a Nure-onna will have their flesh slowly devoured until they become just a human skin. I'm not trying to scare you, but for the European warlocks and Southern Ocean Black Magic Masters, harming someone doesn't require getting close to the target; they have their own means."

Hearing Sun Yan's explanation, especially at the mention of Japan, Park Guochang's expression changed dramatically.

As a businessman of his status, he couldn't even control his inner emotions.

This signified that Sun Yan's words hit a secret within him, and this secret was of great significance.

"Mr. Jackson, if you continue with these unsubstantiated claims, I'll assume you're just trying to extort more money." Cui Yuanxi beside him immediately and ungraciously said.

Yet in the next second, unexpectedly, Park Guochang suddenly stood up and slapped her directly.

The crisp sound of the slap echoed, leaving Cui Yuanxi stunned on the spot, her face full of disbelief.

"Who allowed you to speak to Mr. Jackson like that? He saved my son, making him a benefactor of the Park family. Get out."

Park Guochang glared icily at Cui Yuanxi and scolded.

On the peninsula, there's a strict respect for seniority; young people must bow and scrape before anyone just a few years older.

Moreover, Cui Yuanxi is just Park Guochang's secretary. In the eyes of a wealthy man like him, the hierarchical relationship makes her seem like a mere ant.

"Yes." Cui Yuanxi, utterly terrified, hurriedly ran out.

"All of you leave too, only Mr. Jackson and his partner will remain here."

Park Guochang dismissed the nanny and bodyguards, soon leaving only the three of them in the study.

The atmosphere was silent for over ten seconds. After an intense internal struggle, Park Guochang understood and slowly spoke to Sun Yan: "Mr. Jackson, perhaps it's really as you said, someone might indeed be plotting against my son in secret this time.

What reward must I pay you so that you can completely settle this matter and allow my son to grow up safe and sound?"

Sun Yan waved his hand, "We can discuss the reward later. Those who can manipulate evil spirits are not ordinary people. I first need to know exactly whom you have offended, then judge based on the situation."

Park Guochang couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Actually, this matter is not due to me but due to my predecessors. Around 1910, when the Japanese army occupied the peninsula and turned the entire peninsula into a Japanese colony, my family had a good relationship with the Ikegawa family in Japan, and thus became the resource export agent for Japan from that time on,

but later, with the liberation of the peninsula, the Ikegawa family was beaten by our powerful peninsula army, and those stationed in the peninsula from the Ikegawa family all died in that anti-colonial war,

the Ikegawa family in Japan held a grudge against our Park family for not protecting their clansmen properly, and since then, they have borne a grudge against my family. Over the years, the Ikegawa family has faced a decline in their bloodline and their business has also been diminished. I haven't heard about them for a long time,

but just hearing you mention Japan reminded me of this, and there's a good chance my son's possession was the work of the Ikegawa family. Their ancestors had produced Yin Yang Masters.

Thinking about it, they are the most suspicious. Mr. Jackson, can you find the person who hurt my son?"

Faced with Park Guochang's sincere inquiry, Sun Yan shook his head, "Mr. Park, that's just speculation and doesn't constitute a clue. Moreover, you've had no contact with this Ikegawa family for many years; it's hard to say it's them acting in the shadows.

So, I'll send an Earth Shrine to your home. You must devoutly offer incense every day. This will help prevent your child from being possessed again. As for the person causing trouble behind the scenes, I'll be observing in secret for a while. If there are any clues, we'll discuss the reward when the time comes."

"Alright." Park Guochang nodded and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jackson."
