CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38 KELLY’S MOTHER

Outside the room, after an intense barrage of gunfire, everyone lay in pools of blood.

"Haha, damned Exorcist, I am about to succeed!"

Amidst wild laughter, the bizarre red pentagram appeared once again. The red skeleton stared eagerly at the blood covering the ground outside the room.

Time passed, but the blood outside showed no sign of stirring.

The red skeleton, thoroughly confused and bewildered, had a flash of insight and suddenly turned its gaze toward Chu Feng, who was standing nearby.

"What’s going on here? Exorcist, speak! Was this your doing?"

Chu Feng, who had been enjoying the show from the sidelines, nodded with a smile. "Indeed, it was me! Happy now?"

Hearing Chu Feng’s affirmative answer, the blood-red skeleton staggered back a few steps in disbelief, then suddenly charged for the door.

THUD.

However, the red skeleton, having just burst out of the room, slammed headfirst into the barrier of the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation.

"Alright now, be good. Stop struggling! Let me send you on your way!"

Chu Feng looked at the red figure on the ground and pulled the trigger of the shotgun.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

This time, the skeleton, when hit by the shotgun blasts, didn’t shatter into bone fragments. Instead, it directly turned into black powder.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host! For killing a half-finished Blood Demon, you will receive the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute: +4 points, Physique Attribute: +5 points, Mental Attribute: +5 points, Spiritual Power Attributes: +9 points

2. Lifespan: +2 years"

The attribute rewards for killing a half-finished one aren’t bad at all! It seems the complete version of this Blood Demon is quite powerful!

Looking at the system’s reward prompt, Chu Feng silently gauged the strength of a fully-formed Blood Demon.

After casually using all the rewards, Chu Feng looked around the entire room. He was about to leave when his gaze fell upon the red suit left behind by the red skeleton.

This little skeleton was quite flashy! Wait, what’s that?

Chu Feng took another careful look at the red suit and saw something very familiar beneath it. His expression hardened. He kicked the suit aside and picked up the object from the ground.

It was a black goat’s head badge, identical to the one Chu Feng had obtained from the Wild Wolf Gang—a second one!

Frowning, Chu Feng quickly moved to the corpses of the cultists who had slaughtered each other. He searched them meticulously but didn’t find a third black goat’s head badge.

An idea instantly sprang to Chu Feng’s mind. Could it be that this cult is just a branch or affiliate of another organization?

After making a mental note of this, Chu Feng turned and walked towards the exit.

Unexpectedly, as he reached the passage he’d used earlier, he came face-to-face with Boris and his colleagues. They were cautiously advancing, guns ready.

"Boris, I think you’re a bit late!"

Boris actually looked quite pleased to see Chu Feng suddenly appear. "Chu, it seems you’ve already dealt with the cultists inside?"

"That’s right. It’s your show now!"

After hearing Chu Feng’s words, Boris and his companions let out a collective sigh of relief, visibly relaxing.

"By the way, which hospital was James taken to? I think I should go see him!"

"He’s at Central Hospital in Queens. The doctor said he was very lucky; he wasn’t seriously injured, just unconscious from the severe impact, and can be discharged after a little more observation."

Hearing this, Chu Feng also felt greatly relieved. "Okay, I’m heading off then. Bye!"

"Goodbye, Chu!"

After passing the officers, Chu Feng quickly exited the building and drove his car towards Central Hospital.

「About an hour later,」

Chu Feng finally arrived at Central Hospital in Queens, where James was staying. After inquiring at the hospital reception about James’s ward, Chu Feng headed straight upstairs.

"AH! HAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Quick, quick! Sedative! Inject her now!"

As Chu Feng passed a room on the second floor, the noisy commotion inside caught his attention. "That patient is starting again! Go call the doctor!"

By the time Chu Feng approached the ward door, a nurse hurriedly ran out. Peeking through the doorway of the ward, Chu Feng looked inside.

Four or five nurses surrounded a bed, struggling to restrain a patient who was thrashing wildly. However, seeing how much effort it was taking them, Chu Feng guessed they wouldn’t be able to restrain the patient for much longer.

As Chu Feng watched the chaotic scene, a doctor in a white coat, accompanied by the nurse who had just hurried out, rushed into the ward. While helping the others restrain the patient, he asked, "Is it the same as before?"

"She’s gotten even worse! We can barely hold her down!"

"The sedative? Has it been administered?"

Before the nurses inside could reply, another nurse hurried past Chu Feng carrying a tray. "The sedative is here!"

"Good. Inject her immediately!"

As the staff made way to give the sedative injection, Chu Feng finally caught a clear glimpse of the patient through a gap. Just one look made Chu Feng’s pupils contract sharply.

He saw that the patient’s lips had receded, pulling back tightly to grotesquely expose her teeth. Her flushed red face was covered with prominent, bulging veins, and her eyes were completely black. Chu Feng instantly realized this was no ordinary patient. She was clearly a victim possessed by Hell creatures!

Huh? This appearance... why does it seem so familiar?

Once the medical staff blocked his view of the bed again, Chu Feng withdrew his gaze and searched his memory for the source of this faint familiarity.

ROAR! "Call my daughter! I want to see her! AHAHAHAHA!"

The sudden shout from the ward made Chu Feng’s eyes light up. Daughter? That email! Could this be Kelly’s mother?

Hearing the ward gradually quiet down, a sneer touched Chu Feng’s lips. I don’t know why the possession isn’t complete after so long. But how long can hospital sedatives really control someone invaded by Hell?

Shaking his head with a smile, Chu Feng continued towards James’s ward. Thankfully, James would be discharged soon. Otherwise, Chu Feng reckoned he’d have to arrange James’s transfer to another hospital immediately.

"James, I’m here to pick you up from the hospital!"

Chu Feng pushed open the ward door and saw James idly playing on his phone. "Hey, Chu! Boris said you went to get revenge. Did it go smoothly?"

"That’s right, the process was fairly smooth!"

James’s words instantly reminded Chu Feng of the red skeleton and, of course, those two black goat-head badges from some unknown organization.
