Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1247 The Little Red Spirit

Quade opened the door, cautiously poking his head inside. Upon noticing that the little girl in the red dress was not there, he finally felt at ease and opened the door widely.

"This is my home. Please come in and have a seat! It's not quite time yet, so I'll go boil some water," said Quade as he took the thermos bottle to heat up some water. Alex kept himself busy while waiting for Quade as he thoroughly inspected every corner of Quade's house, looking for anything out of the ordinary.

The house had minimal decor, without violating any Geomancy taboos. Although the hundred-square-meter house wasn't particularly spacious, it was quite adequate for a couple to live in.

A large wedding photo hung on the living room wall. Standing next to Quade was a woman who had an average appearance, but had a graceful aura to her. She was probably Quade's wife. It was undeniable that they really looked very much like a married couple.

At that moment, Quade came over with a glass of water. "Master, please sit down, take a break, and have some water!"

Alex nodded, took a seat on the sofa, and gently sipped from the cup in front of him. He then turned to Quade and asked, "Have you and your spouse been anywhere recently? Did you bring this inauspicious spirit back from somewhere?"

"My wife and I are just ordinary people. We don't have any extra money to travel on our days off. Most of the time, we'd head to work and go home after that. We haven't offended anyone during that period either. That girl in the red dress just appeared out of nowhere," Quade explained with a sigh.

He never thought such a thing would happen to him. Although the spirit didn't harm them, it was enough to give him a headache.

Since there wasn't any useful information obtained from Quade, Alex didn't plan to stick around for long. It was only half past seven, and there was still an hour and a half until nine o'clock.

Taking advantage of the extra time, Alex asked Quade to help buy some talisman paper and some red ink. He then personally drew a few ghost-banishing talismans, ready to deal with the female spirit as soon as she appeared.

The hour and a half passed quickly. When the time on Alex's phone hit exactly nine o'clock, sure enough, a little girl in a red dress walked through the wall into the room. In terms of appearance, she was not frightening, but she did have paler skin than the average person. She was aimlessly drifting around the room, as if she was trapped there, wanting to leave but unable to do so.

Quade left out of fear after buying the talisman for Alex. Now, only Alex was left in the house.

He then seized an opportunity to affix the ghost-banishing talisman he had previously drawn onto the spirit. Contrary to his expectations, there was no horrific scream. The talisman only remained on her for a second before it fell to the ground.

How could the talisman he personally drew and infused with a mystic aura, capable of effortlessly vanquishing spirits and reducing their souls to dust, fail so miserably?

Alex couldn't figure out why this was happening. Therefore, he took out another talisman and stuck it on the spirit as she passed by him.

Just like the previous attempt, there was no reaction from the spirit, and the talisman still ended up on the ground.

As it had no effect on the spirit, Alex struck her with his palm. The thunder and lightning unleashed by his Thunder Palm were known to be the nemesis of dark and evil beings.

However, everything he did was all in vain. The spirit was like an illusion, impervious to any attack.

After trying a few more methods, Alex still ended up with no results, forcing him to give up and search for alternative solutions.

At that moment, Alex noticed that the little female spirit in the red dress had left. Without any hesitation, Alex followed her out of the house.

Trailing behind the spirit, Alex followed her from the ninth floor, where Quade's house was located, all the way down to the first floor, and then up to the sixteenth floor, before eventually returning to Quade's house once again.

When Alex pushed the door of Quade's house again, the scene inside was no longer that of a simply decorated, cozy home. Instead, it transformed into an endless void, stretching out infinitely with no end in sight.

Just as Alex turned around again, the door behind him vanished, leaving only the endless void.

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed in Alex's ears.
