Chapter 258 Cao Kun Summons the Soul

Cao Kun took out a talisman brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and asked Jennifer, "What is Kai's birth date? It would be best to be precise to the time."

Jennifer answered without hesitation.

Cao Kun quickly converted the numbers into eight characters and wrote them on a talisman.

Then, he took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and pasted the talisman with the eight characters written on it.

"Open the window."

After Jennifer opened the window, Cao Kun shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand and shouted, "Soul-fixing and spirit-reaping, return at once!"

Instantly, a powerful force emanated from the Myriad Souls Banner.

Then, following the talisman with the eight characters written on it, it mysteriously disappeared into the darkness outside.

Yes, Cao Kun is performing a ritual to summon the spirits of the dead.

Kai didn't wake up because he was so frightened he lost his mind.

Children are naturally timid, and it's perfectly normal for them to be terrified after being frightened by a clown.

However, Cao Kun did not see Kai's soul, which had been terrified, in the previous underground space.

They must have gone somewhere else by following the underground passage.

A proper soul-summoning ritual is very complicated and requires setting up an altar and performing a ceremony.

Folk methods of summoning the soul are even more complicated and have a very high failure rate.

Cao Kun's approach was simple; by leveraging the power of the Myriad Souls Banner, he didn't need to do much.

Before long, Cao Kun saw a small, somewhat dazed phantom flying towards them and heading towards the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Cao Kun certainly wouldn't allow the Myriad Souls Banner to actually absorb this phantom.

He promptly tore off the birth date and time chart, put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, removed the Yin Talisman from Kai's body, and slapped the flying phantom with his palm: "Go in!"

The phantom instantly disappeared into Kai's body.

A short while later, Kai's eyelids twitched a few times, and he slowly opened them: "Mom..."

He burst into tears, which streamed down his face.

Jennifer, ignoring her surprise, rushed over and hugged Kai tightly, saying, "Mommy's here, Mommy's here."

Jennifer cried along with Kay, sobbing uncontrollably.

Cao Kun shook his head and turned to leave.

Cao Kun quietly left the room and saw Wood guarding the door.

This guy is quite dedicated.

Seeing Cao Kun come out, he asked in surprise, "I heard Kai crying, he's awake?"

After Cao Kun confirmed it, he looked at him with admiration and said, "You're really amazing."

Cao Kun managed to wake up someone the hospital couldn't save in such a short time.

Cao Kun nodded, turned around, and went downstairs.

It's already evening, and he hasn't eaten or drunk anything all day.

He wasn't hungry; at his current level, he no longer needed to eat ordinary food.

As long as evil energy enters the body, it's fine.

But habits formed over many years are not so easy to change, and he doesn't want to change them either.

Cao Kun found a restaurant that was doing fairly well. While eating, he heard many people talking about the clown.

Today, all those lost memories of the Joker have returned.

The people of this small town were incredibly surprised.

Fortunately, the town wasn't big, and the news that the clown was dead had already spread throughout the town.

Otherwise, these guys probably wouldn't dare to go out.

Actually, the security in small towns in country M is better than in big cities.

Even at night, these people still dare to go out.

The people in the restaurant were talking animatedly, each vividly recounting how the exorcist killed the clown.

It was as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

No one knew that the exorcist they were talking about was sitting right next to them.

After finishing his dinner quietly, Cao Kun returned to the hotel and booked another room for himself.

It's so late, there are no more flights to Los Angeles, so he's going to rest here for the night.

Besides, we haven't even received the money yet.

Around 11 p.m., there was a knock on Cao Kun's door.

Cao Kun sensed it immediately and realized that Jennifer was standing outside the door.

He went over and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Jennifer standing prettily outside, wearing a nightgown and holding a check.

Cao Kun stepped aside, and Jennifer entered, closing the door behind her.

She held the check in her hand and looked at Cao Kun expectantly: "Check or rice?"

Without hesitation, Cao Kun took the check from her hand.

Jennifer was a little disappointed: "Am I really that unattractive?"

Cao Kun: "Your charm is not worth 5 million."

Jennifer: "That's a really harsh thing to say."

Cao Kun didn't want to continue the discussion: "How about Kai?"

Jennifer: "He's fine now, he's asleep."

Cao Kun: "So..."

Jennifer: "So, we can talk about some adult topics now."

Cao Kun: "For example?"

Jennifer: "I've given you all my money, and I know you're a very good producer. You wouldn't watch a single mother with a child struggle to survive because she doesn't have money, right?"

Cao Kun: "Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"

Jennifer: "No, I'm just begging you to give me some care so that my child and I can continue to live."

Cao Kun: "What benefits would I get?"

“Mi.” Jennifer walked toward Cao Kun, her nightgown slipping silently off her body.

When Cao Kun returned to Los Angeles, it was already past 1 p.m. the next day.

Although Kai is no longer seriously ill, he is still somewhat weak after recovering from a serious illness.

Jennifer decided to stay in the small town for a while longer before returning to Los Angeles.

Cao Kun had arranged to meet with director Nolan last night, but it was canceled due to other commitments.

He decided to meet with Doug Liman tonight and then see Nolan tomorrow.

Around 7 p.m., Cao Kun shook hands with Doug Liman in an upscale restaurant.

"I can't believe you've achieved so much at such a young age. Compared to you, my time seems to have been completely wasted."

Doug Liman said with a sigh and full of flattery.

“Doug, you don’t need to be modest,” Cao Kun said. “If that’s really the case, we won’t meet tonight.”

Speaking of which, this director is one of the commercial film directors that Cao Kun admires.

Doug Liman is 35 years old this year, which is the perfect age for a man.

They possess ample experience and wisdom, are mature, steady, and not frivolous, and also have decent physical strength.

This is the period when it is easiest to achieve results.

After they ordered their meals, Doug Liman got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Cao, which film would you like me to direct?"

He is a director, so since Cao Kun approached him, it was naturally to have him direct a film.

Cao Kun took out the three books, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Doug Liman.

“The Bourne Identity?” Doug Liman realized. “You want to adapt this novel into a movie?”

Cao Kun: "It's a trilogy, but the story will be moved to the modern era."

Doug Liman barely hesitated: "I'm interested."

Cao Kun is currently enjoying great success and is a person who continues to achieve success.

Regardless of the industry, following successful people is the most popular choice.
