The weather in Arizona is very strange, unpredictable, with torrential rain coming down at any moment.
Just a moment ago, it was a clear sky without a cloud in sight, but within half an hour, dark clouds gathered, followed by a heavy downpour.
On the streets of Phoenix City, Sun Yan parked his pickup at a street-side parking space.
Stepping into the puddles on the street, he immediately took large strides towards the nearby coffee shop as soon as he got out of the car.
Following closely behind was Elise, who had already changed into a new set of clothes.
After learning about the business trip to Arizona, this young member of the Blood Race voluntarily offered to accompany him on this journey.
Seeing her interest, coupled with the fact that she was a member of the Cemetery Members, Sun Yan knew she would inevitably have to go out to carry out tasks for him in the future, so he agreed to her proposal; it would be a good opportunity to develop her exorcism experience in advance.
Upon entering the coffee shop designated by the client in X, Sun Yan immediately noticed a Black man sitting by the window.
With hair like instant noodles erupting from his head and two large, thick lips pursed around the rim of a cup, he was savoring black coffee without cream.
"Robert Downey Jr. of California?"
Sun Yan walked over to sit down and asked tentatively.
Although he was the only customer in the coffee shop at the moment, the necessary procedures had to be confirmed.
"That's me, and you're Mr. Jackson, this is great."
The Black man suddenly became excited and quickly asked, "Would you like something to drink? It's on me."
Elise sat down beside Sun Yan obediently and smiled elegantly, "I'd like a mocha."
"Two mochas," Sun Yan raised two fingers in a 'peace' gesture.
After the Black man called a waiter to order two mochas, the atmosphere became somewhat silent.
Sun Yan had driven a long way, and it wasn't just for a free coffee, so he broke the silence by asking, "May I know how I should address you?"
"Just call me Jamie."
"Alright, Mr. James, while the coffee isn't ready yet, why don't you tell me what kind of trouble you've encountered, so I can judge how to proceed with the exorcism based on your situation."
Sun Yan placed his arms on the table, interlocked his fingers, and looked very seriously into the other's eyes.
"I've told many people around me about this, but no one is willing to believe me, and I simply can't find anyone to help me,
Mr. Jackson, I have a question for you now... do you believe there are people in this world who cannot die?"
Jamie asked with a complex expression.
"People who cannot die...?"
Sun Yan furrowed his brows in confusion and exchanged a glance with Elise beside him.
In his career as an Exorcist, he had killed a gray rat that had fed on incense to become a spirit.
He had killed a demon attempting to escape from Hell.
Even special species like the Blood Race and Werewolves could not escape the fate of death.
As it stands, Sun Yan did not believe in the existence of any undying species in this world.
However, as a professional Exorcist, he would not easily doubt his client's viewpoint.
Sun Yan replied earnestly, "I don't know about that, at least I haven't encountered it, but Mr. James, you can tell me more about your situation."
There was a hint of fear in Jamie's eyes as he began, "I work as a computer programmer. I just moved here a few months ago from the neighboring city, so I rented an apartment locally,
and my landlord is an elderly woman. She would walk up and down the stairs of the building all the time, whether it was late at night or early in the morning, she would spend hours doing so,
until one day, I returned home late after working overtime at the office, and saw the landlord's corpse on the stairs on the third floor,
She died so tragically, her face and neck were covered in blood, it looked as if she had accidentally fallen off the stairs, I immediately called the police."
Sun Yan looked into Jamie's eyes and when he briefly paused, he nodded approvingly.
Although he didn't speak, his face showed an interested expression.
This was a high emotional intelligence behavior that Sun Yan learned from TikTok last night, it was said that when others are speaking to you, expressing such interest could really engage them and encourage them to continue sharing.
Indeed, seeing Sun Yan so invested in his story, Jamie relaxed considerably and detailed further.
"The police came that night and took away the landlord's body, finding no evidence of foul play on the scene, the landlord had probably died from accidentally hitting the back of her head during the fall,
I hadn't given it much thought until the next evening, when someone knocked on my door. Looking through the peephole, I saw it was the deceased landlord."
Shivering, Jamie hugged his head in distress, "But I saw her die with my own eyes."
"And then?" Sun Yan asked curiously.
"I didn't dare open the door, and after knocking for a while, the landlord left, but every night afterward, she would appear at my door during the late night hours, constantly knocking,
At first, I didn't dare respond to her, but as this continued, I became progressively more anxious, and finally, one night, I couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed a kitchen knife, opened the door, and hacked the landlord to death in a pool of blood."
Sun Yan asked, "Did she die this time?"
