Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 68: Possession

Translator: 549690339

Dora felt as if she had fallen into a quagmire, too anxious to breathe.

It wasn’t until she stepped outside the apartment, basking in the warm sunshine, that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief and she stutteringly asked, “What about the table… and the cries for help… What was all that about?”

“Don’t ask, just keep moving!”

Guiding Dora along, Su Lu didn’t stop until they had left the entire street behind. “Looks like we’ve really got out!”

Evil spirits of the second order and above possess the ability to influence the Spirit World and alter the environment.

Once a blockade is formed, it’s hard to escape.

This fact was still fresh in Su Lu’s memory as he had encountered such terror during his first supernatural experience!

As for the malevolent ghost in the gallery last time, it might be because it had been released shortly and Su Lu managed to escape before it fully formed a blockade.

‘Does it seem like it’s because the evil spirit had just possessed the body and hadn’t had the chance to transform the environment?’

All spiritual bodies prefer a darker environment, which was why Kira’s apartment was so dimly lit.

Of course, it was just a preference.

Even under the blazing sun, they could still hop around lively.

“What do you know?”

Seeing the sun and the crowd, Dora’s panic slightly eased, and her reporter instincts burst into flame again.

She felt that she could get a major scoop from Su Lu, something more explosive than the previous meat factory case!

Unfortunately, Su Lu wasn’t going to reveal the truth of the world to her.

“Nothing… it’s just psychological!”

He smiled at Dora: “Mr. Gales… suffers from some diseases, um… apart from his photosensitivity, he also has some mental issues and needs treatment!”

“You asked me how to repay me before, now I am telling you, we are even… So, goodbye!”

With a stony face, Su Lu left, not revealing anything to Dora.

“You…”

The reporter blushed in anger.

How was Su Lu’s action any different from a man who leaves right after getting dressed?

“Wait and see… I will uncover the whole truth!”

Dora clenched her fists to encourage herself.

Of course, she would never dare to go back to that bizarre apartment again.

On the other side, in a motel.

This motel was carefully chosen by Su Lu, only a street away from Kira’s apartment.

After enjoying dinner and putting up a “do not disturb” sign, he took a deep breath, looked at some tools before him, and shook his head: “Who would have thought… Even I, who usually resist Soul Trances, am now about to initiate a ritual.”

Performing a Soul Trance as a [Spirit Medium] is easy, just roll your eyes back.

However, this can’t be maintained for long.

If it goes prolonged, the missing spirit can’t return and the [Spirit Medium]’s body would attract a swarm of sharks like a bait reeking of blood!

If the body is occupied, Su Lu would end up like Kira.

And at that time, there would be no one to save him.

“To prepare for a long Soul Trance, the first requirement is to create a blocked environment to conceal my body’s uniqueness!”

Su Lu took out three silver emblems upon which were etched a few words in

Ancient Hebrew – the terms ‘isolate’ and ‘enclose’ etc., work as basic talismans.

Or to be precise, they were only semi-finished products. With his current knowledge in occult science, he wasn’t capable of making real marvels. But once the [Spirit Medium]’s blood was added, they could still be somewhat effective.

He placed these talismans in a triangular formation on the bed, lit a candle by the bedside, and laid down.

“Soul Trance!”

As expected, a sense of weightlessness arrived, and Su Lu’s spirit emerged from his body.

Looking at his own body lying on the bed, Su Lu nodded.

That piece of candle was his last insurance policy.

The passage of time in the spirit world is completely different from reality, with spiritual bodies not having a strong sense of it.

To prevent prolonged separation from their bodies, many [Spirit Mediums] use candles as timers. When the candle is about to burn out, it’s time to return!

At this moment, his spiritual body lightly leapt, entering into the first layer of the spirit world that only spirits can access!

Everything around him looks exactly the same as the real-world room, the only difference being it lacks ‘human vitality’!

Hotel guests and staff had all disappeared, replaced by wandering spirits lacking consciousness.

“This is the real spirit world, different from the train, where I was merely wandering in reality as a spirit!”

Su Lu easily passed through the walls, traveling through the hazy world. Soon enough, No. 22, Narcissus Street appeared before his eyes.

“There’s no impact forming a closed environment, strange!”

The power of spirit oppression and spirit thorn even increases when performed in soul trance.

Su Lu hesitated for a moment, but eventually stepped into the apartment.

A primal shiver immediately filled his heart, that was the pressure brought by the second-order evil spirit.

But at this moment, it was in the real world, separated from the spirit world by a layer, and this was an opportunity!

Although the first layer of the spirit world aligns with reality, it subtly parallels it. If that evil spirit was also in the spirit world, it would immediately detect Su

But right now, it’s in the real world! And occupying a human shell, its perception is surely reduced!

“Mr. Kira Gales?”

In the living room downstairs, all the furnishings had a gloomy color tone. Su Lu’s spiritual awareness spread out, searching for the traces of the real spirit of Kira.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

“It doesn’t make sense… If my body is occupied, my spirit would definitely be near my flesh, looking for an opportunity to regain it!”

Su Lu mumbled to himself.

Suddenly, in his spiritual vision, on the semi-transparent fireplace wall, a line of blood-red words appeared: “Help me!”

“What’s happening? I already am a spirit, and I’m in the spirit world, how can I still not see the other party?”

Su Lu was startled, but the next moment, he wrote a line of question on the wall with his finger: “Where are you?”

“I am Kira Gales! My body has been possessed by an evil spirit, and my spirit has been banished to the spirit world!” A new line of writing emerged. “Impossible… I’m in the spirit world!”

Su Lu immediately shook his head.

“The vastness of the spirit world is beyond your imagination, recently promoted [Spirit Medium]. You can only contact the first layer of the spirit world… That evil spirit banished me into the crevice between the first and second layers of the spirit world, using its ability to project and isolate a closed environment in the spirit world!”

Kira immediately explained by writing.

‘So that’s how it is!’

Su Lu was suddenly enlightened: ‘I was wondering why that evil spirit didn’t create a ghost realm in the real world, turns out it had already been using this ability to banish Kira to a place close to the second layer of the spirit world and isolated him?!’

A single layer difference in the spirit world results in a vast difference in power.

Just like last time when the cursed spirit attacked from a higher layer of the spirit world, Su Lu was like a blind man who could neither see it nor hear it, let alone stop it.

This time, he encountered a similar situation.

Fortunately, this evil spirit’s power is evidently not as terrifying as the cursed spirit from last time, and it did not really touch the second layer of the spirit world.

Even so, it can entirely banish the spirit of Kira Gales, making it almost impossible for him to call for help.

Luckily, Kira Gales is strong, he could actually emit some information through the blockade: “I can sense that you are a [Spirit Medium], I will offer a reward! If you don’t trust me, I can make a pact with you!”

‘This is really…’

Lu Su wasn’t dazed by the pie falling from the sky: “You need to tell me the power of that evil spirit first… Can I report this to the Goddess Church or the Federation?”

As expected, Kira immediately rejected the suggestion to notify the officials: “My identity…. is rather sensitive, I can’t face the official Transcendents! As for that evil spirit, it’s not very strong, it’s just very good at disguising, initially, I thought it was a kind spirit and performed a medium session!”
