The Exorcism Began in America.

However, Monte, and James on the other side, remained silent.

Monte was thinking of the bizarre gust of wind from the day before and the strange situation described by the security personnel on the sixth floor.

James, on the other hand, was accustomed to such situations. After all, his long career in Exorcism meant he had seen too many bizarre incidents to be fazed any longer!

Bulson continued to narrate his experience.

"Although I had my suspicions, the surveillance footage confirmed it was just an accident!"

"Despite some irregularities, we could only treat it as an accident."

"What about the other child?" Li Mi asked subconsciously, but then, as if she had remembered something, she was suddenly taken aback.

"He died too, the very next day. It was also an accident, with no evidence of homicide, and just as... unbelievable."

"Following that, accidents kept happening, deaths kept occurring..."

「Meanwhile, outside the hospital room.」

"I don't know why, but I feel very uneasy!"

"Catherine, today was just an accident. Don't worry about it. Go home, have a drink, get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow is a new day!"

"I hope so!"

Two nurses, who were off duty, had just changed their clothes and were heading towards the hospital exit.

As they passed through the lobby on the first floor, they suddenly felt something fall on their heads.

"What's this?"

Looking at the white debris in their hands, the two of them were somewhat puzzled and instinctively looked up.

"Oh my God!"

"Are we dreaming?"

Before their eyes, the supporting column beside them began to crack, the fissures spreading at a visible rate. Fine debris rained down as the cracks widened, showering them both in an instant.

"Catherine, I think we need to leave here quickly!"

"Oh... oh..." The somewhat stunned nurse was pulled away by her companion, and the two of them ran towards the hospital's main gate at full speed.

"Move quickly, get out of the building!"

Their frantic running and shouting quickly drew the attention of others.

Some, not knowing why, wondered if the two had gone mad.

Others, with good eyesight, instinctively glanced behind the pair. They immediately noticed the alarming change in the load-bearing column and fled at once.

"Fuck! Run for your lives..."

As more and more people noticed the alarming change in the load-bearing column, the hospital building instantly became chaotic. The walls also began to crack, and even those on upper floors could feel the building shaking violently.

"Is it an earthquake?"

Countless people rushed towards the main entrance on the first floor, trying to escape the dangerous place.

But time... was running out!

The steel-reinforced concrete building, at that moment, resembled a flimsy sandcastle. A single, mysterious tremor, and it collapsed instantly.

From the moment the alarming change was discovered to the collapse of the building, barely ten seconds passed. Most people inside the hospital still had no idea what was happening.

James and the others inside the hospital room realized something was wrong as soon as they heard the commotion outside. But the building collapsed so rapidly that there was no time for anyone to react. Almost instantaneously, the ceiling came crashing down.

"It's over! Did that damned bastard actually receive the Witch's true teachings?"

"Xie Te, didn't they say that the Bizarre presence behind this wouldn't act until tomorrow?"

"Father..."

"Chu Feng, if you don't come now, we'll only be able to meet in heaven!"

Just as Bulson, Monte, and Li Mi closed their eyes, awaiting death, and James channeled all his Spiritual Power to brace for the impact, a rainbow light zipped across the Washington sky like lightning.

"James, you always manage to bring me some surprises!"

In that indifferent voice, a faint hint of teasing could be heard.

The ceiling, which had been almost touching their heads, suddenly froze in mid-air. The atmosphere seemed to be filled with an unknown energy, as if they were standing in a viscous liquid.

Upon hearing this voice, James's stoic face immediately showed a hint of delighted surprise.

"Boss, you finally arrived!"

James turned back. The walls of the hospital room suddenly exploded, and a figure bathed in golden light abruptly appeared before them. An invisible force field seemed to exist around him. All the pieces of the wall suspended in mid-air were pushed to either side just moments before touching his body.

"What are you standing around for? Time to go! This commotion is pretty big!"

The calm voice sounded again, snapping the dazed group back to reality.

"Mr. Chu Feng, are you a god?" Li Mi walked up to the figure. Gazing at the familiar person bathed in golden light, her expression filled with awe, she couldn't help but ask.

"Heh. You should get out of here first."

With a casual wave of his hand, Chu Feng sent Li Mi's body flying out from behind him, guided by a gentle force. Then he sent out the second, the third, and the fourth.

Once they had all left, the invisible force within the hospital room instantly dissipated. The ceiling, with its mass of concrete and steel rebar, came crashing down.

This twenty-one-story hospital building was finally reduced to a pile of ruins.

Chu Feng, already outside the ruins, immediately spent nearly a thousand System Points to fully restore his True Yuan in the black chamber.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze fell upon the others, who had managed to get to their feet.

Seeing the scars on James's face, Chu Feng's gaze paused for a moment. He hadn't expected James to look like this the next time they met.

"What happened?"

James subconsciously touched the scar on his face, a bitter smile playing on his lips as he shrugged. "I lacked experience at the start. Evil Spirits don't play by any rules!"

This answer was within Chu Feng's expectations. He grunted in acknowledgment and nodded, then his gaze shifted to the other three. "Survivors of an unexpected accident... Though I was the one who acted, it should still conform to the so-called rules, right?"

Monte and the others exchanged glances as they looked at Chu Feng's inscrutable expression; only Li Mi's eyes held a unique sparkle.

"Chu Feng..." Bulson began to speak but was interrupted by another voice.

"Mr. Chu Feng, thank you for saving us this time. To express my gratitude, may I treat you to dinner?"

"Li Mi?" Monte, staring at his goddess, whose eyes shone with eager anticipation, stood petrified, shaking his head in disbelief. He had never seen Li Mi like this before.

"Kid, give it up! Based on my years of experience, only when you're truly outstanding or powerful enough will you see a woman take the initiative like this!"

Bulson, already well into middle age, nudged his chin toward Li Mi, then consolingly patted Monte's shoulder. "Now, you've seen it..."
