Chapter 50: The Witch (8)
The employer was dead, so the promised payment was naturally out of reach.
Everyone had gathered here originally for the high reward promised by the Kingsley family. Now, not only was the money gone, they might also have angered a powerful witch who had just been resurrected. Fearing trouble, most of the psychics present immediately fled.
The few exorcists from the church didn’t leave. The witch had carried out her plan so ruthlessly that it was practically an insult to the church. Although their morals had been corrupted by money, they still retained some basic sense of decency.
The ones who stayed behind were Wester and Rebecca.
Wester was furious because the witch had tricked him, while Rebecca stayed because she was a local college student.
The group gathered together to review the situation. The church’s exorcists believed the problem lay in the step of guiding the soul. They had indeed expelled the witch from Kelly’s body, but whether the soul that awakened in Olivia’s body was truly her own remained questionable. In their discussion, there was an undertone of shifting blame onto others.
Rebecca was extremely angry about this because she was also one of the mediums responsible for guiding the soul. Although she wasn’t highly professional, she felt confident in her own judgment—and having others doubt it was a completely different matter. When her professional competence was questioned, Rebecca immediately exploded.
“The compatibility between a body and its soul can’t be faked. I can assure you, when she opened her eyes, it was truly her own soul inside Olivia!”
“Then you must have been mistaken.”
