NFBE Chapter 173 Annabelle
Chapter 173 Annabelle
Upon returning from the foreign land, Ji Lin opened his eyes and was surprised to find a group of people surrounding him, all staring at him nervously. This sudden scene truly startled Ji Lin.
Huan'er, who was standing at the front, quickly explained to Ji Lin, "Brother Ji Lin, are you alright?"
After a conversation, Ji Lin learned that he and Qiao Xi and his son had returned to the real world almost immediately, which made Ji Lin feel the wonder of time in the other world once again.
After returning to the real world, Josie immediately recounted to everyone the terrifying experiences they had encountered in the alien land.
Especially when the countless wronged souls and evil spirits before their departure were mentioned, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
However, just as Josie finished speaking, Ji Lin miraculously returned to reality.
Ji Lin composed himself and began to tell the people around him the series of stories that happened after Qiao Xi and his son left the foreign land.
At this moment, Elise, who had been listening quietly, suddenly stepped forward.
As an outstanding medium, she possesses special sensory abilities, allowing her to detect whether the souls of others are being disturbed by abnormal forces.
Elise grasped Ji Lin's hand, then closed her eyes. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said...
"Don't worry, I have carefully examined Mr. Ji Lin's soul, and he has not been possessed by any vengeful spirits or evil spirits." Upon hearing this news, everyone finally felt relieved.
However, Ji Lin remained curious about that mysterious foreign land and had many questions that needed to be answered.
He then turned to Elise and asked, "Ms. Elise, could you tell me more about the otherworld?"
"For example, why are there so many wronged souls and evil spirits there? How did they come into being? And what scenes of the past did I encounter in this foreign land?"
Faced with Ji Lin's rapid-fire questions, Elise looked embarrassed and seemed somewhat at a loss.
This is not entirely Elise's fault, since her main profession is exorcism. Although she can sense the existence of evil spirits and fight against them, delving into the truth behind other realms and the complex causal relationships within them is indeed beyond her capabilities.
Therefore, Elise could only shake her head helplessly at the questions raised by Ji Lin, indicating that she was powerless to help.
Ji Lin remained indifferent to Elise's inability to explain the situation. For him, knowing the truth was unimportant; he could simply unleash a series of fluid, quick attacks to purify and exorcise any evil spirits he encountered.
Later, after everyone had dinner at his home in Shanxi, Ji Lin left with Huan'er and Xinghai.
However, shortly after they left Josie's house, while waiting at a traffic light at an intersection, a sudden car accident came into their view.
Ji Lin glanced at the accident scene briefly before quickly looking away and returning to his calm state.
But just then, another car slowly drove into his field of vision.
Inside the car sat a man and a woman, and on the back seat was a seemingly ordinary doll. However, Ji Lin keenly sensed that the doll was emitting an unusually powerful and chilling black aura.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Lin immediately activated the magical power within his body.
As his magical power surged, he was surprised to find that the man and woman sitting in the front seat of the car were radiating a lot of meritorious energy.
At the same time, the doll also emitted some clearly discernible fluctuations of evil spirit energy.
Seeing this, Ji Lin didn't even think twice before pointing his finger at the car that was slowly moving forward not far away.
"Quick! Huan'er, hurry up and follow the car in front."
As time ticked by, an ominous premonition gradually rose in Ji Lin's heart.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before he realized something was wrong. They followed the car to a deserted cemetery.
It was already late, and a chilling, deathly silence permeated the surroundings.
Just then, something even stranger happened: the vehicle Ji Lin was driving and the car they had been following suddenly stalled without warning at almost the same time.
In an instant, a biting cold wind blew by, swirling the fallen leaves on the ground into a chaotic dance in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a thick fog, as dark as ink, appeared out of nowhere and quickly enveloped the two vehicles.
A moment later, a woman’s scream suddenly came from the depths of the thick fog, and the scream echoed endlessly in the silent cemetery.
Without a second thought, Ji Lin decisively pushed open the car door and jumped out.
At the same time, the Starry Sea Fan had quietly appeared in his right hand without him even noticing.
Ji Lin waved his arm and forcefully fanned the thick fog in front of him.
With a loud "whoosh," the Star Sea Fan suddenly unleashed an incredibly powerful gust of wind, rushing straight towards the dense fog.
Under the impact of this strong wind, the originally thick fog quickly disappeared without a trace.
As the thick fog dissipated, the scene before us gradually became clear.
Ji Lin looked closely and was shocked to find a man lying face down on the side of the road, his life hanging in the balance; and next to the man was a woman with a terrified expression.
Before Ji Lin could go forward to check the situation, his gaze was drawn to the unusual activity around him.
Suddenly, many strangely shaped ghosts appeared in this cemetery.
These ghosts were all pale-faced and had empty eyes, making them look extremely frightening. What was even stranger was that they all seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, and their movements appeared very stiff and mechanical.
Not only that, Ji Lin suddenly noticed that the doll that was originally placed on the back seat of the car was also nowhere to be seen.
Ji Lin began to fully circulate the surging magical power within his body, and as he did so, the surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly.
Before long, his sharp gaze pierced through the thick fog and countless menacing ghosts, locking onto the doll trapped in the center.
At that moment, Ji Lin had a sudden thought and reached into the system space to retrieve the detection radar.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Lin saw dense red dots appear around him on the radar screen. These red dots represented various evil spirits and demons that existed nearby.
Among these many red dots, one stands out in particular, its color as rich as blood, as if it were about to drip blood.
Ji Lin thought to himself, "The most intense red dot must correspond to the doll in front of me!"
With that in mind, he clicked on the red dot without hesitation, wanting to see more detailed information about this evil spirit.
As expected, when Ji Lin clicked on the red dot, a series of text messages immediately appeared on the detection radar screen.
The doll's name is Annabelle. Upon seeing the name, Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, and he murmured to himself.
"It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"
With that, Ji Lin flicked his wrist, retracting the detection radar back into the system space.
At the same time, the Starry Sea Fan in his hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and after a crisp sound, it transformed into a long sword.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin's magical power surged, flowing continuously into the longsword in his hand like a surging tide.
Runes shimmered on the sword's blade, emanating a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.
After making preparations, Ji Lin no longer hesitated. He pushed off the ground with both feet and sped towards the group of dead souls like an arrow.
Meanwhile, Huan'er, who had been following Ji Lin around, was also busy.
Just as Ji Lin charged towards the horde of undead, she flashed and instantly appeared beside the couple by the roadside, protecting them.
Meanwhile, Ji Lin charged into the horde of undead, his longsword flashing up and down, creating streaks of incredibly sharp sword energy.
The souls of the dead were utterly unable to withstand such a fierce onslaught, and they all screamed and vanished into thin air.
In just a short while, Ji Lin had slaughtered all the numerous souls that had perished.
However, the matter did not end there. Just as the last soul dissipated, a huge fire dragon suddenly burst out from the longsword in Ji Lin's hand.
The fire dragon was engulfed in raging flames, spewing scorching fire from its mouth, and charged menacingly toward Annabelle.
Before Annabelle could even mount any effective defense against the sudden appearance of the fire dragon, it opened its massive jaws, bit her tightly, and swallowed her whole.
In an instant, a loud bang was heard, and flames shot into the sky from the fire dragon's body. Annabelle was completely burned to ashes without even the slightest power to resist.
