When Kieran was still quite a distance away from St. Reid Hospital, the night had truly arrived.
The sun set, the sky and earth lost their radiance.
The moon hadn't risen yet but the sky and earth were filled with brightness.
The temperature plummeted rapidly.
Commoners started to zip up their coats, calling their friends and starting their nightlife with smiles on their faces.
There were invitations.
There were also invitations.
Kieran belonged to the latter group.
However, the one who invited him wasn't a human.
Kieran looked at the evil spirit that fell from the building.
Although Kieran had carefully observed the man yesterday, he looked even uglier and more disgusting today.
The evil spirit should have a pretty face and a hot body but it retained its original appearance after falling from the building: a bloody mess, brain splattered and limbs twisted.
It seemed like the evil spirit knew Kieran would appear at the hospital and was waiting for him.
The moment it saw Kieran, it dashed towards Kieran.
Roar!
The terrifying roar caused Kieran's vision to be flooded with Spirit authentication notifications.
However, for Kieran who still had SS + Spirit after the -3 debuff, the roar didn't affect him at all.
However, Kieran showed astonishment on his face.
"Not only can it quickly reach the level of an evil spirit but it can also truly grasp the techniques of an evil spirit?"
Kieran thought in his heart but his movements weren't slow at all.
As he retreated rapidly, he took out an alcohol lamp from his coat, lit it up and tossed it at the evil spirit.
Fuuu!
Flames instantly burst out.
The evil spirit that dashed towards Kieran let out another roar before vanishing on the spot.
Different from the low level formless wandering souls, when the spirit of the dead reached the level of evil spirit or evil spirit, it wouldn't just be able to turn invisible and travel through space, it would also have its own unique traits.
Evil spirits could utilize negative energy to slightly alter the temperature and when it came into contact with a person, it could freeze the person and even move small items.
Not caring about small items?
A kitchen knife or something like that would make one regret their carelessness.
Evil Spirits were of a higher grade than Ferocious Spirits. Apart from possessing all of the abilities of Ferocious Spirits, they were also greatly strengthened. Moreover, they could use their howls to intimidate living beings.
However, regardless of whether it was formless wandering souls, ferocious spirits, or evil spirits, their fear of fire and lightning remained unchanged. It was an innate instinct.
At most, they would suffer different injuries after contact.
Formless wandering souls were fatal.
The ferocious spirit was heavily injured.
The evil spirit was only moderately injured.
And if he wanted to further weaken his injuries?
Apart from using magic to create monsters like the Evil Earth Spirit, the souls of the dead had to reach a higher level: Evil Spirits.
Unlike the evil spirits born from items, the evil spirits formed from human souls were much more powerful and terrifying.
It was similar to Kieran's contractual demon, Bloody Mary.
Although his weaknesses still existed, his strength had become increasingly prominent.
As for a higher level?
Kieran's Pro level [Mystical Knowledge] only told him this much.
After the -1 debuff, only Master Level [Mystical Knowledge] was left. It didn't affect the knowledge in Kieran's mind.
Kieran could clearly remember all that.
Therefore, after the evil spirit disappeared, he lit up another spirit lamp without a second thought and threw it at his feet.
After making sure an evil spirit had its eyes on him, Kieran had made sufficient preparations before he left St. Reid Hospital in the afternoon. Although he didn't have any weapons against evil spirits, it didn't stop Kieran from making some.
Fuuu!
"Aaaargh!!!"
The moment the flames appeared, a sharp, irritating scream sounded.
The evil spirit that popped up from the ground was burned by the blazing flames.
The blazing flames distorted the evil spirit's clear and disgusting body and even caused it to pause for a moment.
Kieran who had been waiting for this moment for a long time instantly equipped the title [Ghost Hunter].
At the same time, a cold glare flashed in his hand.
The alcohol-coated [Interrogator Knife] was ignited the moment it was swung out with the help of the blazing flames, sweeping over the evil spirit's body.
Blazing flames!
[Ruthless Interrogator]'s attribute.
[Ghost Hunter]'s special effect.
After the three of them combined, the evil spirit that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws a moment ago vanished into thin air.
It wasn't escaping.
It was the true death of its soul.
Ding!
A broken [Soul Shard] fell on top of the pile of ashes. Kieran picked it up and extinguished the flames on his body with his hand.
Throughout the process, Kieran's eyes were vigilantly scanning his surroundings.
The evil spirit would coincidentally block his way back to St. Reid Hospital, Kieran wouldn't believe it if it was a coincidence.
Someone must be controlling it!
Kieran was very sure of it.
However, that person was hiding very well, Kieran couldn't locate him for the time being.
"Controlling evil spirits from afar?"
Guessing in his heart, Kieran hastened his steps.
Since the culprit was able to send the evil spirit to block Kieran's way back to St. Reid Hospital, then Hoskin and Teresa who were hiding in St. Reid Hospital under the guise of 'recovering from amnesia' must have entered the culprit's sights as well.
Although Kieran had the [Sister Reid Statue] with him, it wasn't omnipotent.
It could expel evil spirits.
But what if it was a person?
"Why would the person or organization that controlled the evil spirit have their eyes on me?
Is it because I can see the evil spirit?
Or …? "
Kieran's mind was pondering ceaselessly as he strode forward.
[Mystical Knowledge] did mention that a person who could see the soul was the natural favorite of those sorcerers who manipulated and toyed with the dead.
It was the best casting material and also an essential core material for certain spell models.
However, [Mystical Knowledge] didn't mention what kind of spell it was.
[Mystical Knowledge] was all-encompassing and every single category of knowledge was involved but he wasn't too proficient in any of them, even though Kieran's [Mystical Knowledge] had reached Pro level.
Around 10 minutes later, Kieran snuck into St. Reid Hospital through the side door.
A warm and soft presence instantly expelled the gloomy coldness from the night and the souls of the dead.
Kieran unconsciously looked at the [Sister Reid Statue] in the main hall of the first floor.
Although the whole hospital was within the protection range, no doubt the closer one was to the statue, the denser the energy would be.
The gloomy coldness from expelling the souls of the dead was very similar to the rumored baptism of some church.
Of course, it was very similar.
It was still far from the real baptism.
One needed to know, the baptism was a ritual that could change the body and talents of the person who was baptized.
Kieran retracted his gaze and wanted to head back to his own ward.
However, the moment Kieran turned around, he felt a gaze glancing over him.
It didn't purposely stop.
It was as if the gaze was searching for something.
Kieran who was in [Undercover] mode carefully and vigilantly moved towards the densest part of the shadow in the corridor. He squinted his eyes and looked towards the direction where the gaze came from in an extremely reserved manner.
Souuu!
