"Okay, I'm not a child."

"Okay, no, I know." What could Caroline say? She could only say that kids these days are all precocious.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Jesse."

"Jesse, did you draw this?" Bonnie casually picked up a painting from the wall and asked him.

The painting depicts a burly male tooth fairy.

“This is the Tooth Fairy,” Jesse said.

Bonnie: "Is this what you imagine the Tooth Fairy to look like?"

“Yes, my dad told me.” After Jesse finished speaking, he noticed that Bonnie and Caroline’s expressions were a little strange, so he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Didn’t your dad tell you about the Tooth Fairy?”

Well, that statement really hit a nerve with Caroline and Bonnie, because of their father—well, let's not even talk about him.

Bonnie thought for a moment, then asked, "Jesse, do you know what itching powder is?"

Without a second thought, Jesse said naturally, "That thing will make you scratch your head off."

The two exchanged a glance, and Bonnie asked again, "Popping candy and cola?"

Jesse replied, “You mix them up, and then you should be in the hospital and say goodbye to life. Everyone knows that.”

It's becoming more and more obvious.

Bonnie didn't ask any further questions, but simply took out the buzzer.

Jesse recognized it and said with some surprise, "You shouldn't have that."

"Why not?"

"It will electrocute you."

Bonnie took a deep breath: "Actually, it can't. It's just a toy, it's completely harmless."

"So it can't hurt you?"

"Not at all."

“Oh, okay,” Jesse replied after a moment of silence.

Bonnie looked at Jesse: "What I mean is, all it can do is hold it in your hand. It's a bit of a mouthful, but you see."

As she spoke, Bonnie casually pressed the buzzer on the table, and then... no current appeared, and the table was neither electrified nor melted.

It really does look like a harmless toy, but Caroline and Bonnie know that not long ago, it electrocuted someone and cooked a large piece of raw pork.

So—when Bonnie told Jesse that this thing was harmless, and Jesse believed her, this originally dangerous thing really did become harmless!

This time, unlike the mix-up at the grocery store, all signs indicate that the series of events that happened before were related to Jesse. In other words, Jesse is the mastermind they are looking for.

This conclusion was astonishing and incredible. Bonnie and Caroline were both shocked and incredulous, but the most important thing now was to figure out why? Why was Jesse able to do such a thing!

After exchanging a few perfunctory pleasantries, Bonnie and Caroline inquired a little about Jesse and his family before taking their leave.

Back in the car, Bonnie frowned slightly and turned to leave.

Whether it was psychological or not, she still felt a faint darkness even though she hadn't touched Jesse.

Very powerful, darkness.

After leaving, the two went to investigate Jesse's information.

For example, he's already in school and won last year's pine wood competition. Well, none of that is the key point. The real key point is that Jesse was adopted, and his birth information was sealed. Bonnie and Caroline used some tricks to find and open it, only to discover that his father's information wasn't listed inside.

But Jesse's biological mother is named Julia Wright, and she lives in Elk Harbor, on the other side of the state!

"Should we go directly, or go back to find the Su family?" Bonnie asked Caroline.

"Let's go straight there."

"it is good."

Although Caroline wasn't as focused and attentive to the training as Bonnie, it didn't mean she wasn't serious. Besides, the Su family valued this training very much, and Caroline didn't want to disappoint them.

Without much delay, the two drove directly to the other side of the state. After arriving at Elk Harbor, they found Julia Wright's registered address according to the file.

"Uh, are you sure this is the place?"

The two looked at the house, which was overgrown with weeds, had a mottled exterior, and seemed to have been abandoned and uninhabited for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Chapter 462 Half-human, Half-demon

Caroline and Bonnie rang the doorbell expecting a wasted trip, but thankfully, the result did not disappoint them.

After the doorbell rang, a woman's voice came from inside the room.

"I have no interest in anything you're selling."

“We’re not salespeople, we just have some questions for you,” Bonnie explained.

"I'm not interested. Please leave immediately." The woman in the house refused decisively.

"I'm afraid that won't work!" Caroline said, then suddenly took a deep breath and kicked the door open.

Yes, Caroline broke down the door violently.

There's nothing we can do; Jesse's situation is too unique. Who knows if he'll believe some strange or bizarre thing again and accidentally kill someone else?

Moreover, Jesse's mother, the woman in the house, is clearly acting strangely and may very well know something.

Although breaking down the door might cause trouble, and although they couldn't tell ordinary people what they were investigating, with the Su family backing them up, they were doing the right thing, so Caroline wasn't worried.

What do you want to do?

The door was kicked open, and a disheveled woman who looked somewhat dejected cried out in alarm.

“Are you Julia Wright? We just have some questions for you about your son,” Caroline said, getting straight to the point.

Julia Wright paused, then said, "I don't have a son."

“He was born in Omaha on March 29, 1998, and you gave him up for adoption.” Caroline stated Jesse’s birth date and address directly.

Julia Wright paused for a moment, then tacitly agreed: "What's wrong with him?"

“We just felt something was off—” Bonnie asked hesitantly, “Was it a normal pregnancy? I mean, was anything strange happening?”

Julia Wright took a deep breath, then her expression suddenly turned fierce. She forcefully pushed the two away and ran inside.

The incident happened so suddenly that Bonnie and Caroline didn't have time to react before she pushed them away.

“Wait, Julia Wright, wait…” Caroline and Bonnie hurriedly chased after them.

Julia Wright dashed through the living room into the kitchen, intending to close the door, but Caroline was faster, pushing the door open before she could close it.

Julia Wright hurriedly turned around, ran to the pool, grabbed a can of something, and splashed it over to Caroline and the others who had caught up with her.

Just then, the water spilled all over the two of them.

Then, Caroline and Bonnie were stunned, and Julia Wright was stunned too.

"This is... salt?"

"You are not demons?"

After they all spoke at the same time, the three of them were stunned again.

Clearly, Julia Wright is the problem. She thinks Bonnie and Carolyn are demons, which is why she suddenly pushed them away and sprinkled salt on them.

What does this mean?

This suggests that Julia Wright knew about the existence of demons, and even knew that salt could subdue and fight demons, which is quite unusual.

What did they do?

Julia Wright only asked if Jesse's pregnancy was normal, and then she mistakenly thought they were demons.

So—maybe Jesse is connected to the devil?

After a while, the three of them, having calmed down, sat at the table in the restaurant. Julia Wright even made coffee, and her emotions gradually calmed down as well.

After learning that Bonnie and Caroline were actually exorcists who understood demons and had dealt with them, she slowly recounted her experiences.

“I was possessed. A demon controlled my body and hurt people. I…I killed people.”

"You didn't kill her!" Caroline comforted her.

“But I was there, I heard a woman begging me for mercy, and I… I could feel the young girl’s blood flowing from my hands.”

Regret, remorse, pain, and inner condemnation tormented her. Even though it wasn't her intention, even though she wasn't the one who killed, her soul was constantly tormented by guilt.

How did you know to use salt?

"I learned some techniques, and the demon controlled me for several months."

"How many months?"

Nine months.

The nine months made Bonnie and Caroline think of something: "Then your son—"

“I was possessed at every stage, during pregnancy, childbirth, and the entire gestation process. On the night my child was born, I was alone, and the pain was unbearable. I screamed, but it turned into a burst of maniacal laughter because the demon was happy.”

"It uses my body to conceive a child."

"After the child was born, things changed. Maybe the demon was tired, or maybe the labor pains helped Owen overcome it. But somehow, I was possessed again. The demon was lamenting inside me, constantly hitting my skull. I felt like my head was about to crack."

Julia Wright, who had been recalling the events with her eyes closed, opened them: "But then, suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me, and I knew what to do. I swallowed mouthfuls of salt, and the demon left my body."

“When my child was alone, a voice inside me told me to kill him, but God, save me, I can’t do that, so I had to give my child up for adoption and then run far away.”

Silence fell over Bonnie and Caroline after hearing Julia Wright's story. Finally, Bonnie slowly spoke: "Who is the father of the child?"

Julia Wright shook her head and gave a very surprising answer: "I'm still a virgin."
