Albert Lester opened his mouth, trying to say something, but right then, he saw Scarlett Jennings raise her hand, her fingertips glowing with a demonic light, as she gently waved at him.
Albert Lester suddenly lost his balance, as if something had lifted him and thrown him into the Inferno Abyss space behind.
At the same time, those dozen Shadow Souls were sent into the Domain by Scarlett Jennings.
In the following moments, justice was served for the wronged, and vengeance for the hated.
In her Domain, even if the soul was repeatedly torn apart, it wouldn’t easily die.
...
When the police team came in, they saw only Scarlett Jennings in the room, and were shocked, quickly asking,
"Where’s Albert Lester?"
Scarlett Jennings sensed something and then said, "Wait a bit longer."
The police team was puzzled, what were they waiting for?
But soon, they knew what they were waiting for.
Suddenly, without warning, the man appeared out of thin air again. When he appeared, his exterior showed no damage, yet he seemed insane, his eyes filled with extreme terror.
It was clearly just a short time, yet it seemed like he had lived a few lifetimes inside.
The methods he once used on his victims were now turned on him, his body and soul repeatedly suffering torture. He could distinctly feel the pain and fear those people felt before dying, yet strangely... he could not die.
Why hadn’t he died?
Why was he still alive?
This indeed was Hell.
By the nineteenth time he was killed, he regretted it and begged them for mercy.
But, it wasn’t over yet.
As his soul seemed on the verge of collapse, Scarlett Jennings finally released him from the Domain.
Though outwardly he appeared unharmed, from her perspective, the soul in front of her was already tattered.
A broken and incomplete soul, if not repaired, wouldn’t be able to live a complete life in the next reincarnation.
But, it was no longer her concern.
Compared to Albert Lester’s collapse and despair, the Resentful Energy on all the ghosts that emerged from the Domain had finally diminished, making even the Ghost Bodies appear lighter.
Scarlett Jennings said to them,
"Three days later, the Taoism Academy will set up a place for you to cleanse your Resentful Energy and proceed to reincarnation. In these three days, you won’t be drawn by Resentful Energy to stay by his side anymore."
She paused, her voice softening,
"Go back and see the ones you long for and say goodbye properly."
As Scarlett Jennings finished speaking, the ghosts before her all emitted a sorrowful cry. The murderer who killed them had finally received retribution, yet they couldn’t be resurrected.
After bowing to Scarlett Jennings in gratitude, the ghosts left, heading towards the relatives and loved ones they kept in their hearts.
Only the ghost fan, who had been staring at Scarlett Jennings all along, remained.
Her name was Cecilia Houghton, the girl who woke Albert Lester on the bus and was murdered by him in a fit of unwarranted anger.
She never imagined, after dying so tragically, that her idol Scarlett Jennings would catch the killer on her behalf, even giving her the chance for personal revenge.
If it weren’t for being a ghost, she would have wanted to run over and hug her idol.
Thank her for redeeming her once again.
Scarlett Jennings could see a faint, very weak thread of connection between them, representing the faith power Cecilia once gave her.
This time, it could be considered settling the karma between the two.
"Aren’t you going back?" Scarlett Jennings asked her.
Cecilia looked awkward and dejected for a moment, and then said,
"I broke off ties with my family long ago; they probably don’t even know I’m dead. I have no one to say goodbye to..."
