Chapter 55: Interrogating The Corrupted Souls.

When Jojo heard the name of the demon he had seen in the vision, he frowned in deep thought, looking at the coffin.

This surprised Freya, who followed Jojo's gaze and looked around to see what he was seeing.

'Rex prison... that giant, edgy skeleton in the cave... I just felt the same dark aura just now when Freya mentioned that name... is it my imagination?'

Jojo looked around to see something abnormal to make sure.

Seeing Jojo become serious, Freya narrowed her eyes and looked for any signs of danger.

'Why is he on alert? Did someone sneak up on us?'

"What happened?"

Freya looked very confused; she picked up nothing from using her heightened senses.

"Just now when you read Rex Prison, I felt a disgusting aura for a split second."

Jojo informed Freya with a serious expression while picking up the coffin and turning it upside down.

"What are you doing?"

Freya asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well..."

Jojo transformed into his Ghost Rider form before Freya.

"Hey... are you all right?"

When Jojo suddenly got covered in flames and his skin melted off, Freya was surprised and took a few steps back in fear of the aura Jojo was emitting.

Even though she knew Jojo could transform into this form, having seen it from a distance, seeing it up close, and experiencing the aura Jojo was emitting, she unconsciously took a few steps back.

"I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM SOMETHING."

Jojo looked at Freya and nodded his head while placing his hand on the coffin's back.

Looking at the hollow eyes that were looking at her, Freya was dazed; she felt an endless darkness.

Gulp...

Freya nodded her head.

When Jojo's hand touched the coffin, the flames in his hand started to spread;

It started to burn while Jojo took a few steps back and stood beside Freya.

'Why did he burn the coffin? If we take it back, he could have been able to investigate more.'

Freya looked at Jojo for answers, but Jojo didn't pay any attention to her and kept looking at the coffin, which slowly started to vibrate.

HAHA... HAHAHA...

"IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MANY SOULS TRAPPED INSIDE IT."

Jojo laughed loudly while the vibration of the coffin increased.

"What is ha..."

Before Freya could question, a hand came from inside the coffin.

This surprised Freya, but her eyes widened when the hands came from the coffin, which was placed upside down, facing the ground.

The room once again filled with a strong smell of decay, which even attracted the attention of Hayley and Hope standing outside the church.

"Ahhhh..."

Sob... sob...

"Help me..."

"Lord save us..."

...

The screams started to come from the coffin loudly, making both Hayley and Hope, who were outside the church, come running inside.

"What are they?"

Freya asked Jojo with a serious expression because she had never seen such a thing happen in her long life.

"CORRUPTED SOULS,"

Jojo answered with clear disgust visible in his tone.

'Corrupted souls?...'

Freya looked at the coffin raised due to the hands which kept increasing.

"Freya!!! What happened?"

Hayley asked while arriving beside Freya, looking at the horrifying scene before her.

When Hope entered the underground room, she saw horrifying scenes where hands were coming out of the coffins.

When she looked around in panic, her eyes laid on a skeleton that was blazing from head to toe, except for his clothes.

"Aunt Freya, where is Jojo?"

Hope asked Freya while panicking, looking at the blazing skeleton before her with vengeance.

Even though for some reason, she felt a connection with it, she held her vegelance.

Jojo walked towards the hand, gripped one of the hands, and pulled it.

When the hand was pulled, a female with no eyes cried in pain while begging for something.

After a second, it turned to nothingness.

Jojo started to pull every soul by pulling their hands from the coffin and burning them to nothingness.

After pulling all the souls, there was a last one remaining in it.

When Jojo pulled it, he noticed the soul was not a normal one; it was wearing the church father's attire.

While taking a close look at the pained face of the soul, Jojo suddenly remembered the man who had resurrected the demon Rex.

"My lord liberate us..."

Were the words uttered from the mouth of the soul with no eyes?

"____"

"HEY DO YOU HEAR ME."

Jojo held the soul grabbing his head.

"Ahhhh... stop... stop..."

The soul screamed while trying to free itself from the grip of Jojo.

Seeing the scene before them where Jojo was killing the souls who had no physical body, Hope, Hayley, and Freya looked at the scene.

"It's him."

Freya pointed at Hope, who looked shocked seeing Jojo in this form.

"TELL ME WHERE IS HE."

Without losing the grip, Jojo asked for the man's soul, which made the soul tremble.

"Who?..."

The soul asked in confusion while trying to get out of Jojo's grip.

"YOUR PUNY LORD... MY SOON TO BE PREY."

Hearing Jojo, the soul immediately stopped trying to escape and remembered his last moments before he was killed.

"Where is this place?... Who are you?... Where is my lord?" 

The soul started to scream, looking more agitated and panicked.

Seeing the soul was not answering, Jojo became irritated and asked one last time.

The man's soul was not in the condition to answer.

"NOW LOOK AT ME."

Jojo lost his patience and grabbed the soul's face and made him look into his eyes.

The soul started to scream in pain while it turned to red from dark black.

After some time, the soul stopped and turned to nothingness.

Jojo turned back to his human form and walked towards the three who were looking at him silently.

After a few minutes of awkward silence.

"Is your case solved?" 

Freya asked Jojo with a sigh, seeing the crazy things they had seen today.

"No. I still need to catch that Rex."

Jojo shook his head with an awkward smile on his face.

"Don't tell there is still more,"

Hayley asked with a frown because they have been living here for a long time but still don't know about the things they saw.

So when she heard there was still more, she became concerned that this place was still safe for Hope.

Unknown house...

Rex was looking at the screen before him, which was hanging in the air.

On the screen, there were two pictures; one was Jojo, and another one was Freya, both were blurry.

Rex was looking at the screen with an ugly expression while clutching his chest in pain.

Each time Jojo destroyed the souls in his position, Rex felt their pain.

"Who are you two? How dare you destroy my food."

Rex shouted while looking at the blue eyes which was the only one visible in the blurry picture.

'They were able to track my spell within a fraction of a second. If I didn't sever it immediately, they would have noticed me.'

Rex went into deep thought, thinking how these insects could detect him.

That's why he couldn't see the faces of the trespassers clearly.

"No matter who you are, you will pay for what you have done."

Rex growled while his face changed, and his eyes became blood red without pupils with few cracks visible on his face emitting his aura.

His eyes landed on the blue eyes once again, turned, snorted, and left the room.
