Fali shook her head. "No. At noon, I was patrolling the coastline after lunch. Just then, I saw someone struggling in the sea. I immediately charged into the sea and swam toward the drowning person, but when I got there, the person was gone."
"Did the person sink into the sea? Or was he washed away by the sea? "Chen Zhao asked.
Fali shook her head. "At first, I thought so too. I reported it to Robio and requested for a search and rescue, but we didn't find anyone. There were also no missing persons reports from the coastline."
"Could it be that you're mistaken?"
Actually, Chen Zhao was just an amateur spiritualist. He couldn't be sure if Fali had made a mistake or had really encountered a supernatural event.
Over a thousand people went missing every year on the American coastline that was open to tourists, so it was hard to determine.
Even Fali herself couldn't be sure if there were really drowned people.
As for supernatural events, they had a low probability.
Therefore, Chen Zhao was more inclined to believe that there really were drowned people.
Or maybe it wasn't drowned at all. Maybe it was a tourist surfing in the deep waters.
"I thought so too. Maybe that person wasn't drowned at all, but when I was resting, I saw this news." Fali placed an old newspaper before Chen Zhao.
"This is?"
Fali pointed at a piece of news in the newspaper. "This is an accident that happened at Angel Beach five years ago. The victim, Kirk Etta, hasn't been found yet."
Chen Zhao looked at the news and a photo.
"When I was a dozen meters away from the person, I clearly saw the face of the drowned person. It was Kirk Etta."
"Are there any more obvious supernatural events?"
"No."
"I'm not sure if you really encountered a supernatural event, but no matter, you should have Walter stay by your side. He's strong enough to deal with normal evil spirits."
Walter had grown to a weight of 50 kilograms. His body was frighteningly huge.
Most members of the Coastal Rescue Team didn't think that Walter was the past coastal hero.
"Also, it's best to call Sienna over. She's more professional than me. Maybe she can tell."
A while later, Sienna arrived.
"Chen, you're here too?"
"You can ask Fali. She seems to have encountered a supernatural incident. I'm not sure if it's true, nor am I sure if it's dangerous for her. That's why I called you here."
"Fali, tell me what happened to you."
Fali told the whole story and the details. Sienna thought for a moment and said, "There's a high chance that Fali encountered a supernatural event, but we're not sure if this evil spirit will harm her."
"Fali shouldn't be able to see evil spirits. If she can, it means that an evil spirit is targeting her."
"Most of the time, ordinary people can't see Evil Spirits, and Evil Spirits can't let humans see them, but it's not absolute. One is that Evil Spirits are very powerful, and they can let anyone see them, and the other is uncontrollable. Evil Spirits can't control themselves. They exist in this world because of their obsession, and because of some accident, they are seen by humans."
"Then what's Fali's situation?"
"I'm not sure either. Fali has too few clues."
"Can you find the evil spirit and purify or expel it?"
"We can't find it without clues," Sienna said. "This coastline is so long. The entire coastline and the nearby sea could be the evil spirit's territory."
Chen Zhao couldn't do anything about this. He didn't know as much about supernatural events as Sienna.
That was why Chen Zhao always insisted that he was an amateur spiritualist.
Chen Zhao wouldn't force himself in something he wasn't good at. Sienna was more professional than he was, so Chen Zhao was willing to cooperate with her.
"Sienna, how's the processing of the white crystals I gave you last night?"
"I'm partially done."
Sienna opened her bag and took out bottles of liquid. Chen Zhao picked one up. "What's this?"
"I used holy water and your crystal to make this. It draws out the holy aura from your crystal."
"How do you use it? To splash evil spirits? "
"I've already experimented with it. It's very effective against evil spirits. It's even more effective than Magic Phosphor. Moreover, it doesn't require magic power to be used. However, it's not very effective against that old witch who has turned into a ghoul."
"Then what do we do?"
"I'll ask someone to make the remaining crystals into bullets. If we can shoot it into the ghoul's body, it'll definitely cause great damage to her spirit body."
"Sienna, do you have any left? Give me one. "Fali was still fearful of the evil spirit she'd encountered today.
She hadn't been attacked, but no one knew what the evil spirit was planning.
If it attacked Fali on the sea, she wouldn't be able to escape.
"No. Ask Chen. He should have more."
Chen Zhao took out an angelic crystal the size of a walnut. "Make a pendant and wear it. But Walter doesn't like it. When you wear it, don't get close to it."
As expected, Walter had long avoided the angelic crystal.
Chen Zhao returned with Fali in the afternoon. Sienna had something to deal with, so she left alone.
When Chen Zhao and Fali returned, David was already back.
"Chen, Fali, how did you come back together?"
"David, how did your investigation in town go?"
"I realized that almost everyone in the town hates Winry, and she never communicates with the people in the town. So when I asked about Winry, the people in the town were very enthusiastic and provided me with clues."
David paused for a moment before continuing, "That old witch had a lot of bad deeds in the town. One of them was when the townspeople discovered that there were countless missing pets buried in the back garden of the old witch's house. The old witch was even sued, but because she was too old to serve her sentence in jail, she only had to pay compensation. It was also because of that incident that the townspeople began to hate the old witch. But from then on, the townspeople rarely raised pets again."
"Has anyone been killed in the past?"
"In the past ten years, there haven't been any obvious accidental deaths," David said.
"When do we act?" Fali asked.
"What do you mean 'we'? Just stay at home. Walter will accompany you. "
"So I have nothing to do with it?" Fali asked, rather bored.
