Blake suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if something had pierced through the space between his eyebrows.
"Lilly?" Blake asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
Lilly reassured him, "Daddy, don't be afraid!"
She extended her hand and slapped it.
"Slap!"
Lilly's slap was so strong, it caused Blake to take two steps back.
His vest was made of metal.
Lilly said, "Alright, I got rid of it."
Blake touched his forehead and asked, "What kind of ghost was that?"
The ghost turned out to be harder to catch than they had anticipated.
Lilly shook her head, saying, "I won't speak about things unless I'm certain about it!"
Blake could not help but recognize the familiarity of her words.
Wasn't that exactly what Bob said earlier?
The unexpected turn of events had left everyone flustered. Just then, the police arrived and swiftly cordoned off the area, urging the crowd to disperse.
The influencers who came were all driven away.
A police officer approached Blake and whispered, "Mr. MacNeil.!"
Blake nodded and replied, "Surround the area within a 300-feet radius."
The police officer seemed puzzled. "We've already conducted investigations here before, and it caused disruptions to the nearby businesses. We evacuated just a few days ago..."
Blake's expression was resolute. "Reinvestigate! There is a leakage at the entrance of this coffee shop. Have you found it?"
The police officer was taken aback. "Huh?"
They searched every nook and cranny of the coffee shop but failed to notice the leak at the door they had walked through earlier...
Everyone was scolded and urged to continue the investigation.
At that moment, only the owner of the coffee shop and Bob remained at the scene, both of them were in a state of shock.
The owner finally realized that Blake had an extraordinary identity. He could not believe that a customer who had come for coffee was actually here for an investigation.
"Thank you!" The owner quickly expressed his gratitude to Lilly and Blake when he was asked to leave.
Lilly waved her hand in acknowledgment.
She watched as the various investigators kept themselves busy, thoroughly re-investigating every nook and cranny of the coffee shop. They located the source of the electrical leakage, opened up the floor, and examined it.
Josh whispered, "Lils, has the female ghost been eliminated?"
Lilly shook her head. "I can't find her right now. We'll have to come back at night."
Josh lamented, "We have to come here at night again?!"
Lilly responded, "Yes!"
Demons and ghosts tend to emerge at night. After all, there was a saying that goes, "If you walk at night, you'll eventually encounter ghosts."
There was another saying that advised against speaking ill of others during the day and refraining from talking about ghosts at night. Spreading gossip during the day might be overheard by people, while telling ghost stories at night may attract the attention of ghosts.
Blake called out to Lilly, "Let's head home."
Josh, Hannah, and Zachary quickly followed suit. Josh clutched the camera tightly, feeling anxious.
"Lils, that female ghost won't follow us home, will she...?" Josh voiced his concern.
"Lils, that female ghost was right in front of my camera. Was she staring at me?"
"Lils, do you have any extra talismans..."
Josh tightly gripped the protective bracelet on his wrist.
Lilly reassured him, saying, "That's a good thing! If she follows you, we won't have to come back again. You should be happy."
Josh was speechless.
