Running A Cemetery in North America

Chapter 171: The Butcher in Dreams (Part 2)


Belun appeared somewhat anxious, "I've always been an atheist, but this time I'm very sure that the girl's cause of death is definitely related to some supernatural force. Our town must have been visited by a monster capable of entering other people's dreams to kill.

If we don't hurry and subdue this monster, there will definitely be more people in our town dying mysteriously because of it."

Sun Yan didn't show any skepticism towards Belun's statement.

Having inherited the graveyard, he's seen everything. A dream-intruding killer monster is nothing; even a true god wouldn't faze Sun Yan at this point.

Compared to the incidents encountered at the Northern European Castle with Balian, this is child's play.

"Don't worry, Mr. Belun, since you've come to me with this matter, I'll definitely help you take care of it. Surely you've already seen my exorcism procedures on YouTube, right?"

"I know."

Belun reached out, placed three thousand US Dollars on the table, "This is a temporary commission I've gathered with a few elders from the town. Once Mr. Jackson helps us resolve the town's issue, I'll persuade the townspeople to give you an additional reward. Rest assured, we won't let you suffer any losses."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sun Yan glanced down at his notebook.

Sure enough, a brand new task slowly emerged in the bounty taskbar.

——

Daily Task [Dream Butcher]

Task Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆

Task Description: There's word of a weirdo appearing in Nightingale Town. Many teenagers in town can see him in their dreams, but this isn't a good thing. According to rumors, if you can't wake up in time after seeing that weirdo in your dream, then all I can do is pray for you, friend. Be careful!

Task Requirement: Help the townspeople of Nightingale Town resolve the crisis

Task Reward: Cemetery Members +1

"Five-star difficulty, it's still not too troublesome."

Sun Yan nodded silently. Now he has upgraded the quality of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao's divine statue to immortal grade. The monarch can freely manifest.

Thus, even if no one is left to guard the graveyard, Sun Yan need not worry.

This time, a true monarch is really sitting in town. Any petty thief daring to intrude is naturally bound to have a hard time.

"Mr. Jackson, do you need to prepare anything? This matter in our town shouldn't be underestimated. Even the Church Priest in town couldn't find any problem." Belun said worriedly.

If he weren't left with no choice, he wouldn't come to Gospel Town for help from a neighboring city in desperation.

"Wait a moment; I'll go grab my exorcism magical artifact."

Sun Yan promptly headed upstairs, took out his phone, and searched through his contacts for the phone numbers of his former clients.

Finally, he confirmed Curry, Smith, and Chief Henry.

Before heading to Nightingale Town, he planned to complete today's daily tasks, acquiring an additional tomb magical artifact, which could be more convenient when dealing with evil spirits.

Among all of Sun Yan's clients, these three trust him the most.

Curry—Sun Yan helped save his comatose daughter.

Smith—Sun Yan helped him escape from the dungeon.

And Chief Henry, well, no need to say more. An old customer of Sun Yan and the first owner of the Earth Shrine.

During Sun Yan's follow-up visits, all three expressed their gratitude to him one by one.

Once the callback from the three clients was completed, Sun Yan suddenly felt something extra suddenly appear in his pocket.

Taking it out, it turned out to be a Purple Jade Square Seal.

Entirely crafted from a piece of purple jade, with copper edges, cast with nine dragon images on top, and five thunder inscriptions below. Weighing heavy in hand, at least ten pounds.

"Is this... the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal?" Sun Yan examined it briefly, suddenly widening his eyes in astonishment.

In Daoist rite ceremonies, various magical implements are used, each with its functions and capabilities, among which the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal is one.

The Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal is a magical artifact of the Daoist Shenxiao Sect, capable of issuing commands, praying for weather, governing the Three Realms, summoning ghosts and gods, exorcising demons, dispatching spirit envoys, refining wandering souls, sending away wild ghosts, imprinting commands and talismans, protecting homes, warding off diseases, and dispelling plagues.

It represents the five Thunder Gods, suppressing evil, with tremendous power, making it an effective tool in exorcism.

The Ghost Torturing Stick that Sun Yan obtained before pales compared to this Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal.

"I never expected to get such a magical artifact. It's enough to deal with evil spirits or evil gods, and testing it on an evil spirit will be like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife."

Sun Yan felt assured. Obtaining this magical artifact is like hitting the jackpot.

Stuffing it into his backpack, taking the Golden Halberd, and the Nuo Opera Props of the Mountain-Opening Fierce General, Sun Yan then headed downstairs to meet up with Belun, stepping out of the graveyard together.

This time, Belun had come to Gospel Town by hitching a ride with his nephew. Sun Yan didn't choose to ride with them, but rather followed in his vehicle, the Starry Sky U8, right behind them. The two cars left Gospel Town, headed down the highway into the distance.

...

By the time Sun Yan arrived at Nightingale Town, it was already pitch dark.

Thick fog hovered above Nightingale Town, obscuring any hint of moonlight.

Sun Yan disembarked from the car, only to find the entire street of Nightingale Town empty, with not a single soul in sight.

Belun got out of the car and said, "Since that child's mysterious death, the adults in town no longer allow their children out at night. We still haven't figured out where that monster is hiding or how it gets into the children's dreams, so staying at home seems safest."

Sun Yan quietly opened the Celestial Eye and walked into Nightingale Town, carefully inspecting everywhere he went to prevent any hiding evil spirits.

After a thorough check, however, he discovered the entire Nightingale Town was surprisingly calm with nothing out of place.

"Take me to where the child committed suicide for a look," Sun Yan said, having no choice but to turn back and speak to Belun.

Belun would naturally not refuse Sun Yan's request, and soon they arrived under a tree with a thick trunk in town.

Since it was now nearing winter, the leaves on the tree had long since fallen, making it appear somewhat desolate.

With the Celestial Eye, Sun Yan instantly discovered a girl in a white dress sitting on the trunk.

She had a pale face and two golden braids, her expression vacant as she swung her feet, looking innocent and playful.

If not for the long tongue hanging out of her mouth, she could easily be mistaken for an ordinary person from the outside.

The long tongue is an indication of hanging death.

Those who die of hanging often have the greatest resentment among all death methods, something Sun Yan had seen in Chen Family Village and Youma Community.

But this girl, who seemed pure and innocent, surprisingly lacked that aura of overwhelming resentment, puzzling Sun Yan.

"Mr. Jackson, is something the matter?" Belun, noticing a change in Sun Yan's expression, asked immediately.

He, being an ordinary man, naturally couldn't see the evil spirit on the tree.

"Step further back; I'll try summoning the spirit."

Sun Yan reached into his bag and took out the Soul-Calling Banner. After ensuring Belun and his nephew retreated a few meters away, he began waving the banner.

Suddenly, a sinister wind gusted around, and the girl sitting atop the tree reacted immediately, gazing down at Sun Yan and then jumping off the tree, slowly walking towards him.

"Who exactly killed you," Sun Yan raised the Soul-Calling Banner, fixing his gaze on the girl and asked.

"Dangerous, he's very dangerous, can't provoke him, or you'll die, everyone will die," the girl babbled incoherently.

"Who is he? Tell me, I can help you," Sun Yan coaxed, lowering his voice.

But at this moment, the girl suddenly raised her head, locking eyes with him, a strange smile creeping upon her face.

Her eyes turned into two pitch-black voids, seemingly capable of devouring all light.

From the girl's mouth came the raspy voice of a man.

"Are you looking for me?"
