“AHHH!” 

Jessica held on to Alex firmly with all her might, yelling at the top of her lungs. She was on the verge of breaking down the moment she detected the little girl’s presence. 

“I’ve warned you countless times to stay out of my business! It seems like you’re having a hard time comprehending my instructions, aren’t you? If that’s the case, to hell you go!” The little girl in red paid no heed to Jessica. Instead, she began yelling hysterically and pounced on Alex with a vicious look. 

Alex held on to Jessica firmly with one of his arms, casting a spell with his other hand while smirking. 

Creak! 

Consequently, the ghost’s face grimaced in pain, but she resisted the racking sensation she felt and lunged at Alex’s eyes with her fingernails of considerable length. 

Alex was taken by surprise because the ghost was extremely swift with her retaliation. Immediately, he held on to Jessica and jumped aside, evading its attack. 

Consequently, Alex and Jessica were completely drenched in mud as they fell to the ground in an attempt to evade the ghost’s attack. 

The ghost was about to pounce on them once again, screaming. Therefore, Alex hurriedly moved away from Jessica immediately and reached for the Thunderstorm Spell he had prepared beforehand. He placed it on the ghost’s wound the moment it approached him. 

A light emanating a holy presence glowed and illuminated the cemetery. It enshrouded the ghost immediately, rendering it incapable of motion anymore. 

“AHHHH!” 

The ghost shrieked frantically and attempted to retreat at once, but Alex tapped on the totem with his index finger, yelling, “Detonate!” 

Bam! 

Once again, they were enshrouded by the holy light produced by the Thunderstorm Spell the moment it exploded. 

Jessica stared at the scene in disbelief. She heaved a sigh of relief once the ghost had been completely defeated. 

In the meantime, Baron, who was remotely manipulating the ghost in the headquarter of Desecrated Court, puked a mouthful of blood as the ghost was being taken out. 

He had severe injuries because the ghost had been conjured by its master by using his blood as the medium, Therefore, he was adversely impacted when the ghost was taken out. 

“Damn it!” Baron was extremely infuriated with a tad bit of fear deep down. 

Alex hesitated no more. He reached for the shovel he had brought along and dug around the four pines once he had taken care of the ghost with the Thunderstorm Spell. 

Soon, they found a bronze coffin. It was a miniature one that was several–fold smaller than an ordinary

coffin. In fact, the corpse of a child could barely fit in the coffin, let alone an adult. 

Alex was shocked to see the miniature coffin being surrounded by rusty chains.

An eerie sensation could be detected through the gap of the coffin. Once again, a spine–chilling sensation engulfed the minds of those present. 

Alex brought the bronze coffin out of the pit immediately and pulled on the rusty chains with all his might. 

Clang! 

As soon as Alex removed the chains, he unveiled the coffin. To his surprise, the lid of the coffin wasn’t as heavy as he had expected it would be; he had managed to remove it easily. 

Jessica held her breath and craned her neck in the direction of the coffin, trying to check on the content inside the coffin. 

They were confused when they realized that there wasn’t any corpse in the coffin. Instead, an ordinary puppet resembling a store–bought one could be found inside. 

It was evident the fabric used to produce the puppet had been processed beforehand because it showed no signs of decaying at all. 

The thing that horrified them the most was the needles of all lengths sticking out of the puppet. A golden rock the size of a man’s palm was found underneath it. 

Intrigued by the presence of the rock, Alex picked it up, detecting a mysterious power he had never come across before coming from the rock. 

Although he couldn’t figure out the type of power hidden within the stone, he decided to bring it home with him. 

“Hey, it seems like the doll has a name,” Jessica looked at the puppet while muttering.
