Back at the Monarch
Professor Serizawa thought about the man named Luke Rowling.
Luke was the first mysterious individual he had ever encountered who could communicate with Titans.
"If we could obtain Luke's method of communicating with Titans, perhaps… we could try to persuade Ghidorah. We must make them understand that humans are not their enemies!"
Professor Serizawa's expression flickered uncertainly. In the end, he took one last deep look at Ghidorah, then turned and left.
"I must talk to him!"
...
Right now, Luke was engaged in an intense exchange with Veronica.
Before her, Ada Wong, Jane Foster, Darcy, and Madison had already fallen one after another.
Only Veronica, whom he invited to compare balls with Darcy and Jenny, who was responsible for cleaning up, remained.
"Gwack! gwack! gwack!"
Jenny stayed silent, devotedly assisting Veronica and helping ease her burden.
At that moment, "Hmm?"
Luke frowned slightly. He sensed a subtle fluctuation of power.
But it wasn't magic.
Rather, it was a special kind of magical connection.
This connection could even bypass the Seal of the Vishanti and the Arcane Guard.
"What is the source?"
Luke felt that among the known sorcerers in this world, not even the Ancient One possessed such a capability.
Unless it was another god-level sorcerer hidden in the shadows.
Who could it be?
"Daddy, this is bad! Sharon is sleepwalking!"
Yulinka's voice rang out from outside the door, followed by heavy knocking.
Startled, Veronica's entire body tensed as she clutched Luke tightly, not daring to move.
She wanted to leave, but Luke continued moving.
Jenny also pressed closely against Veronica's shoulder, leaning her weight onto her.
Luke spoke in an unquestionable tone, "Continue."
Veronica pursed her lips, nodded, and continued.
Luke called out toward the door, "I know, Yulinka. Call Rose and have Sharon put to sleep first. I'll deal with her situation tomorrow."
"Okay, Daddy!"
Yulinka stood outside the door. She had tried hard to push it open, but Luke, having anticipated this, had sealed it with telekinesis.
Pouting, she shook her twin pigtails and returned to the room alone.
At that moment, Sharon had already been bound with magical ropes by Yulinka and secured to a chair.
Yulinka sat beside the unusually pale Sharon, ignoring her strange gaze as she stared ahead blankly.
"Even if I don't know who you are, don't think about causing trouble while I'm here. Just wait until Daddy arrives."
"Go to sleep. I really don't want to disappoint Daddy."
Yulinka raised her hand and cast a Sleeping Spell. Sharon's eyes rolled back, and she immediately fell asleep.
...
The next day,
After waking from a deep sleep, Rose learned about Sharon's sleepwalking incident from Yulinka.
The young mother hurriedly brought Sharon to find Luke.
"Don't worry. That was your other 'daughter' calling out to Sharon."
Luke spoke with certainty.
Ever since Yulinka mentioned Sharon's sleepwalking, he had already identified the source of the strange power from the previous night.
It was Sharon's dark side—Alessa.
Judging by the timeline, Sharon was now around the same age Alessa had been when the accident occurred.
Only under such conditions could Alessa, from afar, use their shared origin to bypass numerous barriers and influence Sharon.
Of course, due to the existence of those barriers, Alessa could only affect Sharon while she was asleep at night.
Anything beyond that was impossible.
"Another daughter?"
Rose froze for a moment, then said anxiously, "Luke, you have to believe me. I've never been involved with any other man. It's impossible for me to have another daughter!"
Luke smiled reassuringly. "I know you're anxious, but don't worry. This story goes back more than twenty years."
He briefly explained Alessa's story to her.
When Rose learned that Sharon's true origin was connected to a girl who had suffered immense hardship and was ultimately possessed by a demon, her maternal instincts surged immediately.
"How could those ignorant people do something like that? And Alessa's mother—did she really just watch her daughter burn to death in a ritual?!"
"Luke, let's go save Alessa together. You must have a way to restore her to normal!"
"It's also for our daughter…"
Rose pleaded as she grabbed Luke's arm.
Before Luke could finish, the other women, who had heard the entire story, were already filled with indignation.
Veronica's expression turned serious. "I didn't expect there to still be Loki worshippers in those remote areas. We must eliminate them as soon as possible. Otherwise… if they really summon Loki, we'll be in serious trouble."
Madison crossed her arms and said coldly, "If we're dealing with those bitches, count me in! I hate them the most."
Luke gave Madison a long, meaningful look.
"Hey, hey, hey, why do I feel like that look is aimed at me?"
Madison rolled her eyes. I'm not one of them, so why are you staring at me?
The other women also volunteered eagerly, but Luke cut them off.
"Alright, too many people will only get in the way. This time, we're not just dealing with a group of cultists—we may be facing a Hell Demon King."
"Madison, Veronica, Rose, and Sharon will come with me. Everyone else stays home. No one is allowed to go out."
As the head of the household, Luke's words carried authority.
With a single sentence, he finalized the team for this operation.
Before setting out, Luke first fused the Dog Talisman with the Magic Immunity Necklace.
He carried out more than thirty fusion attempts before successfully creating fifteen Dog Talismans with perfect attributes, granting both Undying Body and Magic Immunity.
After equipping each of the women with a new talisman,
Luke summoned Bumblebee.
Then they set off for Silent Hill.
Not long after they left, Professor Serizawa arrived, having obtained information through S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, upon learning that Luke had already departed,
Professor Serizawa let out a deep sigh and could only remain nearby for the time being.
"I hope it's not too late."
Silent Hill wasn't far from Maine.
Nor was it far from New York.
It only took a few hours to drive.
Luke first used arcane teleportation to transport both the car and its passengers to the vicinity of where the Mist had once appeared.
Then he had Bumblebee switch to autonomous driving.
At two hundred yards per hour, they reached a quiet and peaceful small town within an hour.
As Bumblebee drove onto a suburban road, Luke noticed a girl.
She was pushing a bicycle, looking enviously at the luxurious sports car as it passed by.
Sensing Luke's gaze, she quickly lowered her head in self-consciousness.
Seeing her, Luke was reminded of Maria from the past.
The same self-consciousness, the same timidity.
Their personalities were very similar.
But this girl wasn't Maria.
Her name was Carrie.
