A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 151 Chucky the Child

The party went very smoothly. Ji Lin sent out invitations door-to-door, and almost everyone he invited showed up.

Through this party, Ji Lin forged deep friendships with several members of the Friends group.

In the days that followed, Ji Lin often went to Monica's house for meals; occasionally, he would also meet with friends at a coffee shop.

In addition, Ji Lin was a regular customer at the restaurant run by Max and others.

But most of the time Ji Lin chooses to stay at home. At home, he, Xinghai, and Huan'er train hard and constantly improve their combat skills.

Sometimes, they would work together to explore how to further unlock the potential of the Light and Shadow Armor to enhance its power.

After a long period of training, Ji Lin's strength is now vastly different from when he first arrived in the American crossover world.

It is worth mentioning that, due to his possession of the power of merit, Ji Lin's fortune seems to be exceptionally smooth.

Just when he felt that his strength had reached its limit, he longed deep down to find an evil spirit to test his skills.

As luck would have it, one day after having dinner with Rachel, he actually encountered such an "uninvited guest"—an arrogant and ignorant evil spirit.

Strictly speaking, this guy can't even be considered a true evil spirit; at best, he's just an incompetent evil exorcist.

The story begins after that party. Since then, Ji Lin has formed a deep friendship with Monica and others. He often goes to Monica's house for meals and occasionally enjoys coffee with them.

Through these interactions, Rachel gradually developed feelings for Ji Lin.

As intelligent as Ji Lin was, he naturally noticed Rachel's special attention to him. So, he decided to take the initiative and sincerely invited Rachel to a candlelight dinner, which Rachel happily accepted.

That evening, the restaurant was filled with a warm and romantic atmosphere, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the two people's slightly flushed faces.

Ji Lin's carefully selected food and wine added to the ambiance. At the table, their eyes met and seemed to electrify each other, making the atmosphere increasingly ambiguous.

After dinner, they strolled hand in hand down the bustling street, enjoying the tranquility and sweetness.

However, a sudden turn of events shattered the beautiful scene—a burly man with a fierce look on his face suddenly rushed out from the shadows, holding a sharp knife, his target Rachel!

Ji Lin reacted quickly, and in a flash, he rushed in front of Rachel.

He nimbly snatched the knife with lightning speed and then kicked the burly man.

With a muffled thud, the burly man was kicked to the ground, but surprisingly, he quickly struggled to his feet, seemingly unharmed.

Although Ji Lin did not use his full strength when dealing with ordinary people, logically speaking, the force of his attack was enough to knock an ordinary person to the ground.

Seeing how tenacious this strong man was, Ji Lin couldn't help but feel a chill: it seems this guy is no ordinary person!

However, Ji Lin showed no fear at this moment; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit even more. The burly man, realizing he had encountered a formidable opponent, turned pale and fled in panic.

Just as the burly man was desperately trying to escape, a deafening siren pierced the sky. Ji Lin looked up and saw a police car speeding towards him, its wheels screeching against the ground.

Faced with this situation, Ji Lin did not hesitate to use his unique supernatural power—the Heavenly Eye.

As his magical power circulated, his eyes instantly became deep and bright, as if they could see through everything in the world.

When he turned his gaze to the burly man who was fleeing in panic, he was startled to find a thick cloud of black mist swirling around the man.

Ji Lin had been thinking of finding an evil spirit to practice his skills, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come knocking on his door so quickly.

Although he was puzzled as to why an evil spirit would appear beside an ordinary person, this did not affect his determination to eliminate it.

So he grabbed Rachel, who was standing next to him, and followed closely behind the burly man.

During his frantic run, the burly man ran blindly and was eventually forced into a small toy shop by a police car. Ji Lin first carefully settled Rachel in a safe place, and then entered the shop, which was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

As soon as Ji Lin entered the store, he immediately sensed an unusually powerful and violent surge of evil spirit energy approaching.

Almost simultaneously, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, like a giant dragon with its claws outstretched, and struck straight down at the toy store. However, Ji Lin, who was in the middle of it, was not harmed in any way.

In the brief flash of light from the lightning, Ji Lin looked closely and saw a tattered toy doll slowly moving its stiff limbs, as if controlled by some mysterious force.

The moment Ji Lin's gaze met that of the doll, a chilling name flashed through his mind like lightning—"Chucky the Chucky Doll"!

Ji Lin suddenly pounced on the toy doll, first using a set of extremely fierce martial arts moves as an "appetizer," causing the toy doll to retreat repeatedly.

Immediately afterwards, the Starry Sea Fan in his hand, like a dazzling light, unleashed a series of exquisite skill packages, continuously showering the toy dolls with them.

It should be noted that these were skills that Ji Lin had specially developed through long-term dedicated research and arduous practice.

Most importantly, as long as the power contained in the Merit Law is used to drive it, whether it is the mighty and domineering martial arts or the ever-changing Star Sea Fan skills, it can produce great damage to evil spirits.

Before Ji Lin had even unleashed his full power, the toy doll that had been baring its fangs and claws just moments before was already unable to withstand such a powerful attack and began to kneel down and beg for mercy: "Please, have mercy on me..."

Faced with the toy doll's desperate pleas, Ji Lin merely smiled coldly, then pointed a finger directly at it and said sternly.

"Hmph, even if you beg me, I will never let you go!"

"If you are an evil spirit for a day, you will be an evil spirit for life!" Before he finished speaking, Ji Lin flicked his wrist and gently waved the Starry Sea Fan in his hand again.

In an instant, a roar resounded through the sky, and a raging fire dragon roared out from the fan, opening its blood-red maw and tightly wrapping around the toy doll.

The flames on the fire dragon were intense and dazzling, as if they would burn the entire world to ashes.

As the fire dragon swirled and danced, the toy doll let out a shrill scream, but quickly vanished without a trace, turning into a wisp of smoke that drifted away between heaven and earth.

At the same time, Ji Lin also successfully gained a very weak wisp of merit.

In fact, the reason why the merit gained this time was so insignificant was mainly because this so-called "Chucky the Chucky" had only recently become an evil spirit, and its evil deeds were relatively minor, so the merit that could be transformed was naturally very little.

More than half of the merits that Ji Lin obtained actually came from the body of that vicious exorcist named Chachi.

However, this unexpected gain was like a flash of inspiration, instantly illuminating a corner deep in Ji Lin's mind and giving him a brand new and highly creative idea.

Through observation and exploration over this period of time, Ji Lin keenly realized that whether it was those terrifying evil spirits or wicked people, they were always surrounded by a faint black aura.

Of course, the concentration of this black aura will vary from person to person, but the essence is the same. As long as you can completely eliminate these beings corrupted by dark power, you can gain more or less merit.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, as if he had found a shortcut.
