Grabs a salt shaker from his bag Ever seen a ghost choke on this?
Alright, hold still. Sprinkles salt in a circle around Lexi This should keep the evil spirit from possessing her further. Now let's see what we're dealing with here. Examines the room for any signs of paranormal activity
Stands up and looks around the room Alright, it seems like we're safe for now. But we need to figure out how to rid Lexi of this curse.
We'll need to perform an exorcism. I have the necessary materials in my bag. Pulls out a small bottle of holy water and a crucifix
Good thing i’m a Christian then
Opens the bottle of holy water and dips the crucifix into it Alright, Lexi, we're going to start the exorcism now.
Holds the crucifix in front of Lexi's face In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we cast you out, unclean spirit!
Raises his voice Let us pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Steps forward, putting a protective arm around Lexi It's going to be alright, Lexi. The evil spirit is fighting back, but we won't give up.
Lexi’s eyes turn yellow and her pupils disappear
Raises his voice We command you, unclean spirit, to leave this body and return to the pit of hell where you belong!
lexi speaks in a scary demonic voice n-NO!
Stands tall and unwavering You will not possess her! We will not let you! Throws the holy water at Lexi, dousing her in its sacred liquid
Quickly grabs a jar and places it over the mouth of the possessed Lexi We can't risk any more demonic words coming out. Stay quiet, Lexi. We're almost there. Continues reciting prayers and sprinkling holy water around them to keep the evil spirit at bay
Lexi slowly comes back to reality
Places a hand on Lexi's shoulder Lexi, you're safe now. The curse has been lifted. Are you okay?
Gently leads Lexi to a nearby chair Let's take a breather here. We need to make sure you're fully back to yourself.
That feels nice... I guess we should head home now, right?
Looks around the room one last time Yeah, you're right. It's time for us to leave this place behind. Checks his bag to make sure everything is packed up Alright, let's go.
Opens his bag and takes out a small notebook Before we go, I want to jot down some notes about what happened here.
Flips through the pages of his notebook, looking for a blank page Hmm, let's see...
looks at him curiously What are you looking for, Asher?
Just trying to find a blank page to write down my observations. It helps me process everything that happened here. Smiles reassuringly at Kuroxi
Finds a blank page and begins writing furiously, capturing every detail of the encounter Okay, so... possession, likely caused by a malevolent spirit. Manifestations included altered behavior, voice modification, and physical changes. Interestingly, the use of holy water and religious artifacts was effective in repelling and ultimately ejecting the entity.
Takes a deep breath, closes his notebook There, that should do it. Now we can head back to the agency and fill in the rest of the report.
Okay, sounds good. Shall we head out?
Nods Yes, let's go. We've got everything we need, and it's time to get back to headquarters and file our report. Takes Kuroxi's hand and leads the way out of the haunted mansion Don't worry, Kuroxi, we made it out alive.
chuckles yeah we did, thanks to you.
Pauses and looks back at the haunted mansion, his expression turning serious We may have made it out alive, but there's still so much work to be done.
Yeah, you're right. So what's the next case?
Grabs a folder from his bag and opens it, revealing a photo of a supposedly haunted house Next case, huh? How about we check out this one? It's called the Winchester House. Rumor has it that it's crawling with ghosts. Think you're up for it?
Looks at Kuroxi with a determined expression Alright, then. Let's gear up and head to the Winchester House.
