Chapter 121 - Horror Movie in Real Life (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

I raised my free hand and a light barrier appeared in front of me. The young girl bumped into it and wailed loudly. Her previous timid and scared expression turned violent as her evil face overlapped with her innocent face.

At least her innocent soul was still there even just a little bit of it. I took a deep breath as I retracted the light barrier from my left hand. My fingers touched the girl's forehead, ignoring the overlapping shadow in her face.

”You've done a lot of misdeeds which caused you to lose yourself in it. It's hard for me to clean you off but I can help you to regain your own self. Just promise me that you'll stop harming the innocence and start cleaning yourself.” I told the little girl.

The timid girl appeared for a second as she nodded her head vigorously.

”NO!” The old woman screamed in denial.

”No? Not only helping her regain her own self, but I'll also pull out what you've put in her to control her. That way you won't have a way to control her anymore.” I smirked, provoking the old woman.

Hearing what I said, the old woman's eyes widened. She must have not guessed that I knew about her trick.

I sneered. Ignoring the old woman who was struggling to free herself from my light rope, I focused on the girl in front of me. My eyes were closed to allow me be more concentrate on the task in front of me. Leaving the rope on its own, my hands were now focused to pull out all of the things and curse put into this girl.

I estimated she was around thirteen or fourteen before she died. She must have been deceived by this old woman to work under her sinful action. Poor her, died so young yet when she died, she was used to no good things and ended up being swallowed by her hatred and negativity. Thankfully, a small part in her was still refusing to let the darkness swallow her whole and it was that tiny piece of goodness inside that gave me courage to help her.

I wouldn't do something I didn't have confidence in. As I said I could help her, I was sure I could definitely help her.

I didn't know how much time had passed since I started to pull out the bad things that had been planted inside of this kid's soul, but I knew that I spent much energy on it. By the time I finished, the timid and pure soul of a young girl appeared in front of me with no trace of evil in her eyes. I felt a bit drain of energy, but my task had not done yet.

Lisa was still in my house. I needed to act quickly before she caught me in the act. I needed to know everything I needed to know.

I took a deep breath and watched the things that I pulled out from the girl. I couldn't figure out the shape of these things, but when I touched it, I had a suspicion that it was a kind of fire. Some of them were smelly, like a wound infection. Some of them felt prickly. But I still couldn't see what they were.

”Thank you.” The girl shyly thanked me.

I nodded my head. ”What are those?” I pointed at those things that were fidgeting slightly.
