"Ashley" was sprawled on the ground, trying to escape in some kind of contorted position, but Roy flicked his wrist and a Strand of Binding shot out, pulling her back.
"Trying to run? Did you ask my clothes if that was okay?"
"Ashley" tried to break free from the Strand of Binding, but the Strand's resilience had been personally verified by the King of Greed, Mammon. There was no way whatever was inside "Ashley" could get out of it.
Roy gave a hard tug and pulled "Ashley" back, followed by a fist the size of a softball.
"Ashley" went down and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing how hard Roy hit her, Needy couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Roy, do you think you hit her too hard?"
Roy raised an eyebrow.
"Did you see what Ashley did today? Don't you want to hit her?"
This made Needy a little embarrassed. Ashley's behavior today had really been asking for it. Even with Needy's sweet nature, it was almost too much to bear.
Not to mention Jennifer, who wasn't known for her patience. She gave the back of Ashley's car a good hard slap to vent her frustration.
"You're right, Roy!"
After slapping the car, Jennifer noticed someone peeking out of a classroom window and immediately glared back fiercely.
"What are you looking at?!"
Roy turned around, and the person in the classroom immediately ducked back inside. Wade's voice could be heard from within.
"Boss, I'll keep an eye on them for you!"
Roy suspected that Wade was the one who had been peeking, along with Carly and Peggy. Those three were the most curious and loved to spread gossip.
"Wade, if I hear any weird rumors going around school tomorrow, you know the consequences."
Hearing this, Wade quickly ran out to make a guarantee.
"Don't worry, Boss! If anyone at school dares to say anything bad about you, I'll beat them up for you!"
"Remember that!"
Roy slung Ashley over his shoulder and headed out of the school building.
It was currently the break between classes, and there were many students playing and running around in the hallways. They were all a bit surprised to see what Roy was doing.
Wade acted like a lackey, shooing people away.
"What are you looking at? Boss Roy is just taking a female classmate to the hospital!"
Roy's face darkened. He felt like Wade's explanation would only make things harder to explain tomorrow.
"Shut up, Wade!"
The rest was pretty simple. Roy and Jennifer drove Ashley home, while Needy called in sick for all three of them.
As for Wade, he went back to class after seeing Roy to the door.
On the way, Ashley woke up once, struggling violently and trying to jump out of the car. Roy had no choice but to knock her out again and then use the Strand of Binding to wrap her up like a burrito.
When they arrived at Ashley's house, Roy started calling Samantha.
However, in his haste, Roy had forgotten one very important thing: Ellureesa.
"Daddy!"
Ellureesa, who was watching cartoons, smelled Roy's scent and suddenly jumped onto his back, making Jennifer very confused.
Because judging by Ellureesa's mature body, she should be older than Roy.
"Ellureesa, get down now!"
"Daddy, no! You haven't come to see me in days!"
Jennifer's gaze became even stranger. She could tell that Ellureesa genuinely saw Roy as her father; it wasn't some kind of weird fetish.
So, the question was, where did Roy get such a grown-up daughter?
Roy quickly explained, "Jennifer, this is a succubus I brought back from Los Angeles. Her soul was reshaped, so she's like a child and keeps calling me Daddy."
Jennifer nodded.
"Oh, I see. I thought you had awakened some kind of new, special fetish."
When Jennifer spoke, Ellureesa finally noticed there was someone else there.
"Daddy, is she a mommy too?"
Roy's face darkened. He felt like some things were about to be exposed.
"Little Ellureesa, how many mommies does your daddy have?"
Ellureesa immediately started counting on her fingers.
"Mommy Dahlia, Mommy Heather, Mommy Penny, Mommy Sultana, Mommy Amy... so many mommies, I can't even count them all!"
Jennifer gave Roy a meaningful look, causing Roy to break out in a cold sweat.
"Haha, Ellureesa is just joking!"
"Joke? Daddy, what's a joke?"
"Shut up, Ellureesa!"
Thankfully, the Waterfall Town Police Station wasn't far away, so Samantha arrived quickly.
As soon as she got home, Samantha saw the unidentified creature wrapped in black, unknown material, Roy and Jennifer, and Ellureesa on Roy's back.
"Roy, what happened?"
Roy explained to Samantha what Ashley had done that morning, immediately shocking Samantha beyond words.
"How could this be? Why would Ashley do something like this?"
"Samantha, don't worry! We suspect Ashley might be possessed by something, so we wanted to ask if you knew anything."
Samantha forced herself to calm down. After all, her daughter's safety was at stake.
"Ashley was perfectly normal on Saturday night. Something must have happened to her yesterday during the day! But I was at work all day yesterday..."
Roy frowned slightly.
"Does Mikey know anything?"
Samantha was taken aback. She had been so upset last night that she had indeed forgotten to ask her younger son about Ashley.
"I'll go pick up Mikey right now. He must know something!"
As she said this, Samantha hurried out.
At this moment, Ashley seemed to wake up again and began to twist and struggle constantly.
Roy had used quite a bit of force earlier, so whatever was possessing Ashley must have a decent constitution.
However, it wasn't very strong, completely unable to break free from the Strand of Binding.
"Roy, should we let her out and ask what she is?"
Roy looked around at the scene. A Nephilim, a witch, a succubus – this lineup could easily handle most demons and monsters.
"Okay, I'll release the Strand of Binding. You guys get ready."
Roy suddenly retracted the Strand of Binding, and a large number of moths suddenly flew out of Ashley's body, filling the sky like a black cloud.
(Famous scene)
Jennifer was startled by this sight. Girls always had an instinctive dislike for small flying insects.
Ellureesa, on the other hand, found it very interesting and giggled.
Roy immediately unleashed his Fear Domain. The aura of fear swept through the room like a storm.
Although the moths weren't very intelligent, their bodies were too fragile. After being attacked by the aura of fear, they died instantly.
The dead moths fell to the ground like rain, and then Ashley suddenly jumped up, defying gravity as she clung to the ceiling, her head twisted 180 degrees to look at Roy and the others.
At this time, black lines covered Ashley's face, and black, viscous liquid was dripping from her mouth, making her look about half as attractive as before.
"Who are you? Why are you possessing Ashley?"
"Ashley" let out an unpleasant laugh, sounding particularly like some kind of insect.
"Hehehe, you haven't answered my question yet! Are you Roy Black?"
Roy frowned deeply. This thing seemed very concerned about the name Roy Black. Why was that?
"I am Roy Black. Tell me why you're possessing Ashley!"
"Ashley" let out a low laugh.
"This girl made a pact with me, asking me to win the heart of a boy named Roy Black! Now, how about you just give me your heart?"
Roy's face darkened. So that was why Ashley was possessed by this thing. Literally ripping out his heart, huh?
Jennifer, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh when she heard "Ashley's" words.
"So, that's how you get his heart!"
Ellureesa didn't know what was going on, but she laughed along.
This made Roy's face turn several shades darker. If this continued, he'd end up with the same skin tone as Gerald.
Just at this moment, "Ashley" lunged at Roy.
The newest and fastest novels are first published here!
"Give me your heart!"
"Get the hell away from me!"
Roy kicked "Ashley" away. He hadn't quite controlled his strength, and Ashley was sent flying several meters, crashing into the sofa.
"Ashley" quickly got up, looking at Roy in disbelief.
"That's impossible! You're definitely not a normal person!"
"Who the heck told you I was normal?"
Just then, Samantha returned with Mikey.
The mother and son were both very surprised to see the floor of the living room covered in dead moths and the bizarre Ashley.
"Ashley!"
"Sister!"
"Now's not the time for calling out names! Mikey, did anything unusual happen yesterday?"
"Ashley" sensed danger and immediately pounced on Mikey.
"Don't say anything!"
Then, this stubborn thing was kicked away by Roy again. Samantha's heart tightened at the sight.
Mikey was startled by Roy's actions and stammered as he answered Roy's question.
"Yesterday, I found a strange wooden box in the attic and asked my sister to come look at it with me. Would you consider that something unusual?"
Roy observed "Ashley's" reaction and noticed that this thing was very nervous. It was very likely that this wooden box was the cause of the problem.
"Where is that wooden box?"
"My sister took it back to her room."
Roy gave Jennifer a look, and she immediately understood, running towards the stairs.
"Ashley" tried to stop Jennifer again, but she was pulled back by the Strand of Binding that Roy threw out.
"Roy, could that wooden box be the problem?"
"It's possible."
Before the truth was revealed, anything was possible, and many demons were very good at deception.
For example, during the Cleansing incident, the two fake priests had been completely fooled by Mapa.
Soon, Jennifer came downstairs with an old-fashioned wooden box.
"Is this it?"
Mikey nodded repeatedly.
"That's the one!"
Roy took the wooden box and immediately recognized what was written on it. It was ancient Hebrew.
This was the same language used to record the Keys of Solomon, so Roy automatically understood it.
"Evil spirit?"
So, this was a wooden box used to seal evil spirits. It seemed to be made of some kind of oil. He wondered what its purpose was.
But just knowing it was an evil spirit wasn't enough. Because Ashley had made a pact with this evil spirit, it was now one with Ashley.
This situation was similar to Lilith and Jennifer's. Hurting Lilith meant hurting Jennifer.
Similarly, hurting the evil spirit would also hurt Ashley.
He needed to know the true name of this evil spirit to safely exorcise it from Ashley's body.
"Ashley" seemed to realize Roy's intentions and began to threaten him.
"Human, you won't be able to drive me out of this girl's body! I'll take her to hell with me!"
Samantha covered her mouth, her eyes red-rimmed, feeling incredibly scared.
"Roy, Ashley will be okay, right?"
"Relax, Samantha. Whatever's inside Ashley is feeding off your fear! You should probably take Mikey and leave this house so you don't get in my way. Oh, and take Ellureesa with you too."
Samantha hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she chose to trust Roy and took Mikey and Ellureesa out of the house.
Ellureesa was actually a bit reluctant, but what could she do when her daddy had spoken?
If she didn't want to get a spanking, she had no choice but to go outside obediently.
"Let's see what your real name is."
Boxes used to seal evil spirits usually had the name of the spirit or demon sealed inside as well; otherwise, it would be impossible to contain them.
"Ashley" still wanted to struggle one last time, but as soon as Roy unleashed his Fear Domain, the thing immediately collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
"Let's see what's in here: rocking horse, molar, moth... weird, why isn't there a name?"
"Ashley's" mouth stretched open, and a long tongue lolled out.
"Who exactly are you? My master won't let you get away with this!"
Hearing this, Roy snapped his fingers.
"So you have a master! Perfect! You have your master, and I have my higher-ups. We can compare notes!"
"Ashley" lay on the ground, struggling to answer Roy.
"My master is the great King of Envy!"
Roy's expression changed. Leviathan again?
From Warehouse 36, to Emma's awakening, and now the thing possessing Ashley, this was the third incident in a row related to Leviathan.
At this moment, Jennifer noticed a strange ring on Ashley's finger.
"Roy, look at the ring on Ashley's finger!"
Roy looked down and indeed saw an old and strange ring on "Ashley's" hand.
This thing had been deliberately hiding the ring, so Roy hadn't noticed it before. Jennifer was definitely more observant.
"Ashley's" face changed, and she immediately shoved the finger with the ring into her mouth, looking like she wanted to bite off her finger and swallow the ring.
"Give me the ring!"
Roy immediately jammed his fingers into "Ashley's" mouth. "Ashley" bit down hard, as if trying to bite off Roy's fingers as well.
Unfortunately, this thing underestimated Roy's defense. The bite nearly cracked its own teeth, while Roy's fingers only had some teeth marks on them.
It took Roy a bit of effort to pull his fingers out of "Ashley's" mouth, and then he started trying to take off the ring.
However, "Ashley" kept struggling, making it difficult to pull off, and he might end up breaking Ashley's finger.
"Jennifer, go to the kitchen and get some butter! The melted kind!"
