Sienna smiled bitterly. âIf I have any other trump card, I wouldnât have kept it till now.â
âSo⊠do we open this door?â
âAre you sure the monster behind the door wouldnât eat us?â
âMaybe⊠Maybe itâs with us?â
Maria had almost managed to stuff her body into the basement. Suddenly, however, her movement stopped.
Maria tried to turn her head around, but her body blocked the entire door.
âWhatâs that? You bastard, stop touching meâŠâ
Clearly enraged, Maria attempted to kick away the thing that was touching her.
However, the next moment, a painful look appeared on her face.
Everyone discovered Mariaâs unusual behavior. Her expression changed from agony to horror as she held on to the basement door with all her might.
âSienna⊠Save me⊠Save meâŠâ Maria was totally terrified. âSave meâŠâ
Just then, Maria was pulled out of the basement by some kind of force, along with the basement door.
She had used more than ten minutes to stuff half her body into the basement, but she was dragged out in less than a second.
Then, everyone heard Mariaâs extremely tragic screams from above.
The entire process was unbelievably quick. In just a few seconds, Mariaâs screaming disappeared. The whole place fell into a deafening silence.
âWhat, what was thatâŠâ
âMust be the mixture of evil spiritsâŠâ Sienna was unsure as well.
Clack, clackâŠ
Footsteps were heard from outside the basement. Then, an amiable figure appeared at the basement entrance.
âHi everyone. Looks like Iâm a bit late.â
With their eyes widened in surprise, everyone stared at Chen Zhao who had just appeared.
âFortunately, you havenât opened this door.â Chen Zhao walked into the basement and pulled out the key on the magic door.
âEastern, youâŠâ
âChen, itâs great to see you!â David hugged Chen Zhao in excitement.
âWhereâs Maria? And the group of evil spirits?â Sienna looked at Chen Zhao in disbelief.
âWorry no more. Theyâre not there anymore,â Chen Zhao answered with a light tone.
âWhat do you mean by ânot there?â Have you already exorcised them? Thatâs not possible! There were hundreds of evil spirits, many of which were powerfully inauspiciousâŠâ
Compared to being saved suddenly, Sienna was more unwilling to accept the guess that Chen Zhao had actually eliminated all the evil spirits.
HuhâŠ
Suddenly, Aisha who was lying on the wheelchair gave out a soft sound.
âAisha⊠Aisha! Youâre awake?â Bord shouted in pure delight.
âDad⊠Where are we?â
Sienna frowned and looked at the time. âItâs not one in the morning yet. Is it over already?â
âLetâs go out. Are you planning to stay in the basement for the entire night?â
When Fali walked out of the basement, she saw a mess in the living room.
âChen, I want you to explain whatâs happening. And who are they?â
Chen Zhao sat on a sofa. It was the only sofa that was intact in the living room.
âDidnât you see it for yourself? What do you want me to explain?â
âHow did you eliminate Maria? How did you dispel those evil spirits? You canât have possibly done it.â
âFine, fine. I didnât do it. Happy? Can you leave my house now?â
âChen, can I stay here tonight?â David was clearly too scared to walk outside in the dark again.
âMr. Chen, youâre not going to let me carry Aisha back at this late hour, are you?â Bordâs reason was very convincing as well.
âHow about you, Ms.?â
Sienna was somewhat hesitant. âIâm staying too. I have many questions to ask you.â
âSorry, but Iâm not obliged to answer your questions. Mr. Bord, you can sleep in the guest room with your daughter and also use my towel. Thereâs some disposable toiletries in the restroom, but no clothes.â
âThank you. Youâve saved my daughter twice. Thank you.â
âItâs fine, I didnât do much anyway.â
âDad, whatâs happening? Are we not going home?â Cuddled in Bordâs arms, Aisha looked very clear-headed, as if she had already totally recovered.
âChen, where do I sleep?â David asked, moving towards Chen Zhao. âIf you donât have enough rooms, I donât mind sharing one with another person.â
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Sienna.
âHere.â Chen Zhao pointed at the floor. âLiving room.â
âYou must be kidding, right?â
âIâm tired. Good night.â Chen Zhao turned around and walked away.
âWaitâŠâ Fali pulled Chen Zhao. âYou canât leave before explaining everything to me.â
âYouâve already seen both what you should have and what you shouldnât have. What else do you want to know?â
âWhatâs hidden in the basement? I mean behind that door.â
âI think Iâve told you that this house is haunted, right?â
âAre there really ghosts here?â
âAs long as you donât open that door for no reason, the thing inside wouldnât come out. At least donât open it in my absence.â
Everyone swallowed their saliva as they unleashed their imagination to the fullest.
After Bord brought his daughter to the room, everyone started taking turns to wash themselves.
Then, either casually wearing pajamas or half-naked, they sat in the living room and started chatting.
Soon, Bord who had put his daughter to sleep also came out. He seemed to be much more relaxed.
The group formed a circle, drinking beers and eating snacks.
âChen, I really have to thank you this time⊠Of course, thanks to Ms. Sienna too for your hard work.â
âI donât want to speak about this again. Iâm a doctor; being a spiritualist is only my part time job.â
âEven if you are considered an amateur, then what am I as a professional witch?â
âAre you a witch?â Fali looked at Sienna, her eyes glowing.
âYes, hereâs my name card. If you need things like eliminating spirits or summoning your ancestors, you can call me. Oh, I also sell magic potions.â Sienna immediately gave Fali a name card. âOr even divination. I can contact a diviner for you.â
âDo you teach magic? I wanna learn magic too.â
âI canât, you donât have the talents.â
âChen, can you do a check-up for my daughter? Iâm worried that she would have a sequela.â
âI can do that, but I wouldnât be able to help with any mental injuries. Iâm not a psychologist. Also, there will be a charge.â
âErr⊠How much will that be? I just lost my job recentlyâŠâ
âA hundred dollars for the check-up. Also, I only accept cash and there wouldnât be a receipt. I donât have a license.â
âYouâre an illegal doctor?â David asked in surprise.

âWhat, you want to arrest me?â
âPlease, why would I arrest you? Youâre not in my charge anyway.â David rolled his eyes.
âA hundred dollars for a check-up? Why is it so expensive?â
