They Attack

Seeing a girl scared made Calvin's emotions a little unstable. He looked annoyed as he stared at the bloodstained carpet because the police were having a hard time evacuating the bodies in the cookie jar.

"During my time as a detective, this is the first time I've seen a murder as cruel and neat as this. How can a piece of a human body be stuffed into a cookie jar and filled with blood without leaving any stains around it? No matter how much you think about it, it's impossible for anyone to do!" He who kept thinking about his sister's safety could only vent his indifference on these unreasonable matters.

"You have to stay relaxed. This can't be explained logically because even Evil Spirits can't be defined by any science in the world. So it's no wonder the things they do can't be understood by human reason." Mr. Marcus tried to calm Calvin who was angry to see all the people he hired to protect his sister had died viciously.

Calvin could only tighten his grip on his hand until it bled to vent his anger.

When they reached the corner of the gift storage room, Elvira who was walking in the front was really surprised by what she saw.

"Eh, how did the doll get lost?! Eliza, you put the doll here didn't you?" Elvira did not expect that the doll on the table had disappeared and left only the box and some green grapes in front of it.

Because the person who put the doll was with her, she immediately nudged her friend who kept hiding behind her.

Eliza immediately pulled her head from Elvira's nape and explored the room for a moment before pointing to the table in front of her. "Uh, yeah! I put it there... uh, why did it turn into grapes?! Did the cops move it?"

Eliza immediately came out from behind Elvira and tried to confirm it herself by looking closer to the doll box.

"Geez how could I have missed this place... It seems I can still feel the traces of the creatures that were here before." With the ability of his eyes as a sorcerer, Mr. Marcus saw a thin spirit trail from the doll's box leading somewhere. As if he had seen where the trail was heading, he immediately walked over to the sofa in the other corner of the room.

"What did he do?" From a distance Eliza looked at Mr. Marcus who was talking while squatting on the side of the sofa. Unable to see what was going on, she was a little horrified to see Mr Marcus talking alone.

In contrast to Eliza who saw nothing, Elvira trembled slightly and widened her eyes when she saw who Mr. Marcus was talking to. "W-what kind of creature is that?!"

"Eh, you see something?" Even though she was a little scared when she saw Elvira's expression, Eliza's curiosity increased slightly when her friend said something she couldn't see.

Although previously Eliza was afraid of corpses, she quite liked and always felt curious when discussing mystical things.

"Yes, it's a snail-like creature without a shell. The snail is white with blue stripes and is about the size of a toddler." Elvira looked slightly disgusted as she described the slimy creature to Eliza.

"Eww, even though I can't see it but just imagining it makes me feel disgusted and want to throw up." Her curiosity again made her miserable. But apart from that, she was worried about her friend's spiritual health who had been able to see that terrible spirit recently.

Eliza also grabbed Elvira's wrist to make sure she was near him and didn't follow Mr Marcus until he came back.

The unusual conversation lasted for quite a while and gave a slightly eerie atmosphere around them. Right after Mr. Marcus returned, the snail-shaped spirit disappeared into smoke.

"As I thought, it was the Evil Spirit from the Capital that carried out this attack. Miss Olive was brought by them to their castle 2 days ago." Even though he came to give good news, Mr. Marcus couldn't hide his annoyed expression. During those two days he had absolutely no idea that his member who was on duty had been killed by the Evil Spirit.

Although it can't change the fact that Olive is still in danger, Eliza and Elvira immediately embraced with teary eyes when their wish came true. At least they knew Olive hadn't been killed.

"But what exactly is a snail-shaped creature?" Elvira, who saw this strange spirit for the first time, was curious and immediately asked Mr. Marcus.

"There's no need to be afraid, it's a spirit that will cross into the afterlife. He immediately disappeared because he didn't have any grudges." Mr. Marcus tried to explain without frightening Elvira because she could only feel spiritual activity.

Mr. Marcus did not say that the snail-shaped creature was actually the soul of a member of His who had died. Before becoming a pure spirit, he had become an Evil Spirit and possessed a girl doll to take revenge. But because someone had helped the spirit for revenge so he turned into a pure spirit and was ready to cross over to the afterlife.

"So Olive isn't dead yet? If you already know the place then we have to go there immediately!" A faint smile appeared on Calvin's lips when he heard the good news about Olive. His thought was only fulfilled to save his sister even though his life was at stake.

"I'm against it!" Without discussing or planning further, Mr. Marcus firmly opposed the detective's plan in front of him.

"Why?! My sister must be scared right now and needs immediate help! Can you guarantee my sister's safety if we don't do anything!?" Calvin's anger peaked when his sister's rescue plan was not accepted by Mr. Marcus.
