Chapter 1098 Collateral Relationship
Sam nodded gravely.
Wu Heng looked at them but did not suggest traveling with them.
The evil puppet slowly shrank and turned back into shadow. Wu Heng stepped out of it with a normal expression: "Seeking power does not conflict with demon hunting. Perhaps this is itself a kind of training."
"Things here are temporarily over."
He said nothing more, turned around, and his figure slowly disappeared into the shadows, leaving as quietly as he had come.
The Winchester brothers exchanged a glance and saw the target in each other's eyes.
They helped each other up, staggered, and followed Wu Heng outside. The three parted ways at the intersection.
...
Meanwhile, before Wu Heng returned to Morrick Manor...
Outside the heavy oak gate of the manor, covered with withered vines, at the end of the desolate road, a top-of-the-line sedan, covered in mud and with cracked windows, yet still exuding luxury and brand-newness, wobbled and sped toward them as if out of control.
Finally, it came to a sudden stop in front of the gate, almost crashing into a stone pillar.
The car door was suddenly pushed open, and a young girl who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old stumbled and fell out.
Her face was ashen, her blonde hair disheveled, her beautiful dress stained with mud and suspicious dark red stains, and her eyes were filled with extreme terror and panic.
He practically tumbled and crawled to the manor gate, pounding on the cold oak planks, his voice trembling and choked with sobs:
"Open the door! Please open the door and save me! Something is chasing me! They've killed everyone!"
"Uncle Lor, open the door quickly!"
The manor gate slid open silently a crack.
Hannah's spirit floated behind the door, looking at the disheveled and terrified girl outside with a hint of doubt and wariness on her face.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" Hannah's voice was ethereal yet held a hint of scrutiny.
Although the girl was startled by Hannah's spirit, she didn't remain stunned for long:
“My name is Eleanor Morric.”
She grasped at a straw and blurted out incoherently, "I am also a member of the Morrick family. We are a branch family, it's recorded in the family genealogy. Is Uncle Lord Morrick, the patriarch, here? I'm in danger!"
Upon hearing the surname 'Morik,' Hannah's guard lowered slightly, and she gestured for the girl to come in first.
Just as the girl stumbled into the manor and Hannah was about to ask for details, another old-fashioned black sedan silently drove up from the end of the road and stopped not far away.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and a rigid, serious expression stepped out, dressed in a simple, custom-made suit.
He stood quietly at the manor gate, his eyes fixed on Eleanor, who was hiding behind Hannah.
“He is the father. But that’s not him. He’s possessed,” Eleanor said in a trembling voice.
Hannah instinctively looked into the man's eyes, which were not human eyes at all. There were no whites or pupils, only a pure, bottomless blackness.
demon!
Hannah's expression changed drastically, and she immediately tried to manipulate the manor's own defensive forces. Instantly, an invisible force rippled outwards, and the air around the manor began to distort.
However, the demon merely smiled coldly. It raised a hand, its five fingers spread, and an even denser, more violent dark power slammed into the manor's barrier like a shockwave.
Buzz--!
The barrier groaned under the strain, its light flickering violently, and it was forced to shrink back.
Hannah's spirit body fluctuated violently, letting out a painful groan. Her own power was connected to the manor's protective power, and it was also impacted at this moment.
"Guardian? It's a pity that relying on just one spirit is too weak." The demon said in the middle-aged man's voice, his tone flat but full of malice.
It approached step by step, and the protective barrier crumbled before it. Eleanor screamed in fright and clung tightly to Hannah's illusory skirt.
Hannah struggled to hold on, but she was clearly no match for this powerful demon, and the barrier was about to be completely breached.
"Touch my people in my territory."
A cold, calm voice suddenly rang out from behind the demon.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Wu Heng's figure appeared there like a ghost. He didn't even glance at the demon, but simply raised his hand casually.
From the shadows, several more solid and complex evil tentacles, far more powerful than those used against ordinary demons, shot out instantly, like spider webs catching flies, easily entangled, wrapped, and imprisoned the middle-aged man's body possessed by the demon.
For the first time, the demon's face showed an expression of astonishment and disbelief. It tried to struggle, but the power emanating from the tentacles far exceeded its imagination, instantly severing most of its connection with the body and forcibly pulling its demonic form out of the middle-aged man's body, binding it into a cloud of black mist filled with red eyes.
The middle-aged man's body collapsed to the ground; his soul had already entered hell.
"Take him away and lock him in the dungeon," Wu Heng ordered calmly.
The figure of Death's butler silently appeared, took the demon bound tightly by tentacles, and dragged it silently into the dungeon deep within the manor like a dead dog.
The crisis was resolved instantly.
When Eleanor saw Wu Heng, it was as if she had seen a true savior. Especially when she saw that terrifying yet reassuring butler of death, she burst into tears and her emotions completely collapsed.
After a while, with Hannah's gentle comforting words, Eleanor gradually calmed down and began to recount her ordeal through sobs.
It turns out that this branch of the Morric family had been living in seclusion in another place, but they had not given up some of the family's 'traditions'.
They have been secretly studying the power of demons and have even found a relatively stable demon sealing point.
Usually, they would only cautiously summon a single low-level demon, conduct research and record it, and then immediately send it back. For many years, they lived in peace.
“But this morning,” Eleanor’s voice was filled with fear again, “the summoning circle suddenly went out of control. What was supposed to be a rune to summon a demon suddenly went berserk, and then…and then a whole bunch of demons of all kinds poured out of it!”
“They kill anyone they see, including my dad, mom, and uncles.” She sobbed uncontrollably.
Wu Heng listened quietly, showing no surprise on his face.
This is clearly related to the fact that the opening of the Gates of Hell in the amusement park and the energy leak disrupted the balance of the real world, and they were obviously unlucky.
At the very moment the gates of hell opened, a demon was summoned.
However, when Eleanor choked up as she described those demons, she noticed that some were particularly strange, seemingly unusually sensitive to certain 'knowledge' or 'contracts,' even able to distort the laws of physics on a small scale.
A subtle flicker of interest finally crossed Wu Heng's usually calm and composed eyes.
“Twisted?” he murmured to himself. “This…is rather interesting.” (End of Chapter)
