The black-robed Bizarre's palm emitted a faint dark glow, slowly sweeping across its own neck and chest.
As the dark light surged, a faint, misty aura slowly appeared in its hand.
Looking at the palm of its hand, the black-robed Bizarre let out a soft chuckle.
It stuffed the strand of misty aura into its hood.
Accompanied by a faint chewing sound, the black-robed Bizarre suddenly shot out countless rays of dark light in all directions.
"Damn it, how is this possible!"
As the dark light continued to shoot out, the black-robed Bizarre's body weakened, and it actually knelt on the ground.
"This damned human! How could there be so many records of him in the world? So many people aware of his existence..."
As its Strength kept dissipating, the black-robed Bizarre's body noticeably shrunk.
In just a short while, it could only lie on the ground, as if completely paralyzed.
Bursts of Strength appeared from the void every so often, replenishing its body. Otherwise, it likely would have already run out of power, unable to maintain its now-frail form.
"I must hold on! I have to hold on! Just a little while longer, and that human will meet his oblivion through being forgotten. At that time, the reward from the rules will surely boost my power by a great margin!"
The black-robed Bizarre, now only one-fifth of its original size, lay on the ground, its weak voice filled with anticipation for the future.
「New York」
This city was deeply influenced by Chu Feng. At least ninety percent of its residents knew his name.
"Sandy, where are you going?"
Mr. Lawrence, who had just gotten off work, frowned as he watched his daughter hurry out the door.
The girl, already on her bicycle, merely waved and called back a reply before her silhouette vanished around the corner.
"Bye, Dad! I'm going to Mr. Chu Feng's Exorcism Agency!"
Isn't that place temporarily closed?
Unfortunately, she was already too far gone and hadn't heard him.
Ever since Sandy awakened her Spiritual Power, she's become more and more unreasonable!
Lawrence, determined to have a serious talk with his daughter when she returned, parked his bike and walked into his home, frowning.
As soon as he entered, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa in a daze but didn't think much of it.
After putting away his clothes, he approached the sofa, let out a long breath, and casually asked, "Honey, why did Sandy go to the Exorcism Agency?"
Hearing her husband's voice, Cathy finally snapped out of her daze. She looked at the man beside her and asked in surprise, "Hmm? What? Lawrence, when did you get back?"
Seeing his wife's surprised expression, Lawrence was also taken aback. Concerned, he placed his hand on her forehead.
"Cathy, are you ill?"
"I feel fine! Oh, what did you just say?" Cathy didn't feel anything was wrong with herself; she was just a little puzzled by her husband's reaction.
"I was asking about Sandy. She just said she was going to Mr. Chu Feng's Exorcism Agency."
"Mr. Chu Feng? Exorcism Agency?" Cathy listened to the utterly unfamiliar names her husband mentioned, feeling confused.
"What are those?"
What the...? Seeing his wife's seemingly genuine lack of recognition, Lawrence was momentarily baffled.
"Cathy, that's Mr. Chu Feng and his Exorcism Agency! You and Sandy discuss them every night before bed. Have you... forgotten everything?"
Lawrence placed his palm on his wife's forehead again. He now deeply suspected she had contracted some unknown illness.
Amnesia is no joking matter!
"Lawrence, but I really don't have the memories you're talking about..."
Seeing the concerned look in her husband's eyes, Cathy herself began to wonder if she had lost her memory.
"Dear, do you still remember me? And our daughter, Sandy?" Lawrence grabbed his wife's hands, his eyes fixed intensely on hers, and asked urgently.
"Of course, Lawrence! Be gentle, you're hurting me!"
Cathy forcefully pulled her hands free from her husband's strong grip. She frowned and rubbed her wrists, a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"Okay... okay! I've let go!"
Withdrawing his hands, Lawrence looked at his wife, his eyes filled with disbelief.
To only forget things related to Mr. Chu Feng... what kind of illness could this possibly be?
"Cathy, I think we need the Exorcism Agency's help!"
Looking at his wife, who otherwise seemed perfectly normal, Lawrence slowly pulled out his phone.
In New York, almost everyone had the same number saved in their phone, precisely for sudden situations like this.
"Cathy, you might not be able to imagine it now, but the way you and Sandy used to be every day... Honestly, sometimes I even felt a little jealous!"
As he dialed the number, Lawrence watched his wife, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"What? Lawrence, I don't understand! Who exactly is this Mr. Chu Feng you're talking about? And what is this Exorcism Agency?"
"It sounds like some kind of scam company! You haven't been tricked, have you?"
Her husband's baffling words made Cathy, who was completely bewildered, carefully search her memories.
After some reflection, she suddenly suspected that he might have been deceived by someone.
"No, no, no! Cathy, please don't say anything for now. Just wait here for the Exorcist to arrive!"
For some reason, the Exorcism Agency's phone line was exceptionally busy today. Lawrence dialed for a long time but couldn't get through.
Watching her husband try to call again, Cathy became even more certain of her suspicions.
So, while her husband's attention was fixed on the phone, she quietly got up, took her own phone, and went into the bathroom.
What's this?
The moment she unlocked her phone, she was stunned by its contents.
Seeing the text on her phone screen about Chu Feng and the Exorcism Agency, she began to doubt her own memories again.
Could it be... that what Lawrence said is true?
In disbelief, she scrolled through her phone again, but then something strange happened.
The countless pieces of information about Chu Feng and the Exorcism Agency that had just been on her phone had now mostly disappeared.
She watched helplessly as the text on her phone disappeared line by line, as if her phone were infected by some virus.
In just a short while, her phone looked completely different.
Her original wallpaper had turned blank. Most of the chat history in her messaging app had disappeared. The same was true for her photos, videos, and contacts...
Maybe Lawrence is right. I really do need to go to the hospital...
Cathy clutched her phone, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror. For a moment, she felt like she was looking at a stranger.
「New York, Exorcism Agency.」
A clerical worker, his face etched with anxiety, suddenly rushed into an office.
"Manager... Manager Taran! We're suddenly getting a lot of calls! People are saying their family members have abruptly forgotten about Mr. Chu Feng and the Exorcism Agency!"
