Chapter 587 The Dog Really Is Divine

Chapter 587 The Dog Really Is Divine

If a small cloud of black energy shaped like a child didn't make much of an impression on me, then the sharp cries of a baby completely shocked me!

This really was a child, and it was my child. I couldn't kill it with my own hands!

In that instant, I suddenly remembered what Paul had said - I should first try to persuade it to enter reincarnation, and only resort to killing if that didn't work.

Bob clearly noticed something was off with me, and he saw the spell hand gestures I was making. He just couldn't see the black energy of the Infant Spirit or the purple light shooting out from my body.

But he had already realized that I was doing something to deal with the situation at hand. Seeing the four elderly people and the caregiver looking panicked and wanting to call a doctor, he told everyone to stay calm.

I immediately began silently reciting the sacred reincarnation spell.

Silent recitation means chanting in your mind. Some frauds deliberately mutter out loud during exorcism rituals just to put on a show for others.

After I finished the silent recitation, I felt the black energy starting to dissipate. At the same time, I heard a baby's laughter, growing fainter and more distant, as if a real baby was being carried away.

When I turned to look again, the milk in the bottle on the windowsill had been completely drunk.

Chloe, Byron, and the other five people not only stopped convulsing, they even stopped foaming at the mouth.

The four elderly people immediately rushed to Chloe and Jasper's bedsides, calling their names while wiping the foam from their mouths.

I noticed that Bob first ran to Jasper's bedside, and only after seeing that Jasper was okay did he turn to look at Chloe. It seemed that in his heart, his son was more important than his wife.

I had originally wanted to check on Chloe first, but with her whole family there, I felt too awkward to go over, so I just helped Byron and his two assistants up.

After a while, the three of them came to. Byron stared with wide, frightened eyes and shook his head, still shaken: "That was so powerful, so powerful. If I hadn't summoned the divine dog at the last moment, not only would I have been unable to deal with the Infant Spirit, everyone here today would have been in danger!"

Chloe and Jasper also woke up. Unlike Byron and his team, the mother and son broke out in cold sweats, with beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolling down from their foreheads.

Hearing this, Bob first glanced at me, because he knew very well that either there was no Infant Spirit, or if there was one, I must have been the one who got rid of it. Seeing Byron speaking so confidently, he didn't think much of it.

"You just said..."

Byron nodded: "I recited the sacred spell to summon a deity. I didn't expect to summon a divine dog, but a divine dog is also a divine beast. It's more than capable of dealing with even the most vicious Infant Spirit."

His two assistants chimed in: "Yes, we also saw the golden divine dog. It seemed incredibly huge. Just as a dark wind with flying sand and stones swept toward us, we felt like we were falling into a bottomless black hole. Suddenly that divine dog jumped out, and the golden light from its body dispersed all the bad energy."

Bob shook his head dismissively and glanced at me again.

Since I couldn't explain this clearly right away, I could only give him a subtle gesture, meaning to tell Bob to just let them say whatever they wanted. After all, they had also nearly suffered, lying on the ground convulsing for so long and foaming at the mouth so much. Earning $20,000 was fair enough.

Just then, Chloe, who had recovered somewhat, said to Byron in a weak voice: "Thank you, Byron. I also saw the divine dog. I just didn't know it was a divine dog at the time - I thought it was a huge lion, radiating golden light."

If it was just the two assistants backing up Byron's story, that would be one thing, but Chloe certainly wasn't his assistant. If she said this, then she really must have seen it.

Bob looked at me again with a bewildered expression. I didn't know what was going on either. I was clearly the one who performed the spell - how did they all see a divine dog?

Children recover quickly. Jasper, now awake, suddenly stood up on the bed and said: "Yes, it was that divine dog that saved me! I felt like I was falling into a huge, pitch-black pit. Suddenly I saw a golden light shooting down from the sky. The divine dog even lowered its head and sniffed me before picking me up from the pit in its mouth."

Jasper's words were so convincing that even I almost believed it wasn't me who saved them, but that divine dog.

"Nolan's here too?" Jasper suddenly jumped down from the bed, ran over and threw himself into my arms. It looked like he wanted to whisper something to me, but his voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear: "Nolan, isn't this strange? When the divine dog was carrying me out and I was hugging its neck, in that instant, I saw its face seemed to turn into yours, and the smell from its body was exactly the same as your smell."

Really?

Byron immediately froze when he heard this, looked up at me with a strange expression, but said nothing.

Chloe frowned slightly, as if she too had realized something, but soon showed a relieved smile. I felt she meant that whether what Jasper said was true or not, it at least proved that Jasper had become very close to me.

Seeing that everyone was okay, the four elderly people and the caregiver were most relieved.

Sabrina was the most interesting. She probably hadn't expected Jasper to be so close to me. Seeing Jasper in my arms, she quickly came over to take him from me. The way she looked at me really had a bit of that mother-in-law looking at son-in-law flavor.

"Jasper, stop fooling around. Go rest for a bit."

"I'm fine, I'm all better!"

In any case, as far as everyone was concerned, the exorcism ritual was complete and the Infant Spirit had disappeared. Although Bob had his doubts, he still handled the social niceties quite well.

"You've worked hard." Bob pulled out another card from his pocket, preparing to hand it to Byron.

Seeing this, Byron immediately stopped him: "We are people who carry out heaven's will. We must follow the rules. We agreed on a price beforehand, and you've already paid. If I take more money from you, that would be price gouging. Once heaven turns against me, I won't be able to do this work anymore."

The elderly people, seeing that Chloe and her son were safe and that Byron and his team had suffered so much, all urged him to accept it. Byron firmly refused, and after packing up their things with his assistants, they immediately said goodbye and left.

While the family was chatting as if they had survived a disaster, Bob gave me a look. I had no choice but to follow him outside the hospital room.

"Nolan, tell me the truth," Bob asked. "What exactly just happened?"
