Tidying up the house was a hustle, but nobody wished to leave even a trace of the ghost's memory behind, they burried Xiao in the yard and begun to sort things out.

All cutlery was thrown away, all glass was also broken and thrown away, they made sure there were no dangerous items in the house the ghost could use against them.

"We need another salt circle"

Jonas explained to Tian, whom was the only one who knew how to create them, they had no idea if the circle they made had the effect or not, they couldn't feel the magic in the air.

They made three circles, each with furniture built like small fortresses to protect them, they had three spots to hide and they were divided into 3 groups, once a group felt the ghost, Tian would go to that group and destroy it again.

Tian was sound asleep however and only one circle was complete, the others they would have to make themselves and hope they work. All you had to do was make a circle, how difficult could it be?

"This isn't a circle, were you drawing an oval? this isn't even complete, you've not put enough salt in that line over there"

Tian begun to complain once he woke up, stating that he decided to rest because he'll need to be well rested in order for the spells to work.

Fixing the two circles was similar to remaking them, they had bought enough salt for days, only problem was the possibility of the ghost bringing his own weapons from outside the house.

Non however imagined what weapon the ghost decided to use as the track rammed into the door of the house and right into Jonas, whom hadn't even taken guard behind the now ruined fortifications.

Jonas was dead, like that one person was already down, causing everyone to panic, especialy the man at the wheel, whom thought, all this was just an accident, a really cruel and concerning accident.

Tian however didn't wait, he sprayed his dust towards the driver and on the driver's seat they saw Aidan's ghost.

Unlike Tian, the others panicked as they run back to the second line of defense, but Tian knew that there was no protection from the ghost, he could use the furniture from the first line to destroy the second and then the third, it was all pointless. The only thing that mattered is strength and he had the strength to fight the monster.

As Tian begun chanting the ghost took the shards from the front window of the car and was about to shoot him down.

Tian was shocked when he saw George going in front of him.

"She died for you, I will follow her will, you motherfucker will live"

George said as the glass shards shot into his body.

The ghost was once more destroyed, but George wasn't dead, the shards didn't go too far into his body before they were stopped by muscles and bones.

He was alive, but if they didn't give him some first aid, he might not be for long.

"You the driver! Bring out your first aid kit!"

Tian shouted at the driver, whom did as he was told, not understanding what was going on, what was that light that blinded him a moment ago.

They didn't even look if Jonas needed help, writing him off as dead, but he wasn't, he creeped towards them like a zombie, his legs mangled by the accident.

"Not again!"

Jonas shouted in pain, he was alive, but his legs were not alright.

"Samson, Jason, Tian, someone help me!"

Jonas shouted while Tian was doing some first aid on George.

"Where else do you feel pain"

Tian asked George methodicaly pulling the glass shards out of his body.

"What about some help here!"

Jonas shouted and the driver came to help him, he felt bad for driving while slightly drunk. He couldn't however figure out why they were so collected after the accident, he was going amok.

"You can go now"

Tian suddenly interrupted the lost for action driver and Tian begun to inspect Jonas' wounds.

"You're rather lucky, nothing's broken, but one of your joints was dislocated, all we have to do is put it back, this will hurt like hell, thus bite on this"

Tian said before he attempt to relodge his leg back to it prior location.

The driver lost his senses when he saw what he was trying to do and called the hospital.

It was insanely painful.

"This is the price to pay for not being alert, everyone else had the brain to jump out of the car's way"

Tian told him

"They were just lucky to not be in its way, there was no way a person can avoid it"

Jonas said spitefuly.

"I'm sure some would, of course me included, you have taken the position of leader as something good, remember, leading is not about being important, it's about survival of the many, the veterans would have left you behind"

Tian said as he put the final touches to his legs, some band aids and bandages.

"You the driver, you can go now"

Tian said again.

The driver however looked at him as if he was seeing a madman, how on earth could he go, his car was in the wreckage of a room, it looked as if it will blow up and part of the furniture were now junk, normaly they had to call the police and go through the paperwork.

"Can your car move?"

Suddenly Samson asked, the big guy looked intimidating, this made him think that something wasn't quite right.

"The engine's fine, the wheels will need realigment, you're really unlucky"

Samson told him by checking the car a bit, it was his job at a car garage and he knew a thing or two about cars.

The poor driver took his car away and awkwardly drove away, not willing to stay with these crazy people, as long as they didn't report him for hit and run, he didn't really care and he was kind of drunk and not thinking strait.

"Are Jonas and George alright?"

Samson asked.

"They'll be fine, but both won't be able to move for at least a day, take them to the bed and put them on it, they need bed rest"

Tian explained.

"What about the plan?"

Sydney asked a bit annoyed.

"I wouldn't be surprised if a plane falls on our heads, what lines of defenses nonsense do you believe in, I knew something like this would happen and if it wasn't for George, you probably would all be dead now"

Tian said somewhat angry, he had underestimated the ghost a bit too much, thinking that the system gave them easy missions before, now it was showing its real colors, crimson red for blood.

"What should we do now?"

Sydney whined like a lost puppy.

"We get ready for anything that might happen, get ready for a plane crash or a train shooting through the house..."

Tian said with newfound confidence.

"But there are no train stations nearby"

Sydney complained defeated.

The next best way of doing things was hiding in the basement of the house, like rats. The salt circle was made as fast as Tian could and the bed was put in the middle with the two injured men on it, the others slept at the corners of the bed, some getting a pillow, others were happy they could sleep at all.

Tian however wouldn't sleep, he couldn't sleep, he felt strange. He felt as if this group shouldn't be allowed to finish, they weren't special enough. He regretted not taking Chris with them, after all he had the relic, it could prove useful in their situation, although he had no idea what it did. The question he had was whether he was even alive right now.

Chris was alive and in a much better condition than them. The only thing the ghost did to him was prevent him from drinking alcohol and tomorrow would be the funeral of the two lost, he would have to go, David and Christin would also go.

Chris was devoid of purpose as each time the ghost respawned at the well and then came to find him, only to torture him a little and then travel all the way overseas.
