Five minutes later, Scott was speechless at the sight of Kai at the Jensen residence. Wasn't this the boy Shannon so kind-heartedly looked after and the one he taught how to game? Why was he here?
Before Scott could say anything, Kai, with a relaxed expression, slid his hands into his pockets and asked, "Where's the ghost?"
Scott was in total disbelief as he questioned the teenager before him, "You know exorcism?" This boy was almost the same age as him!
Kai didn't recognize Scott. More accurately, he couldn't because they had never seen each other despite playing games together.
Thus, Kai shot him a glance. "Why do you think I'm here, then? To tour around your house?" His tone came off as cocky, but Scott wasn't bothered by it. After all, he, too, spoke like that sometimes.
"Shannon told us to look for you if we need help. Would you please head upstairs and take a look?" Although Kai appeared to be a teenager, Shannon had subtly hinted at his true identity. Hence, Hector spoke politely to this unusual boy.
Not to mention, no ordinary teenager could move into the Cooper residence without Benjamin's approval.
Since Kai had promised Benjamin that he would look after the Jensen family, he unhesitantly showed up at the Jensen residence after Hector's phone call. With that, the three of them ascended the stairs.
They had just arrived at the staircase when Marshmallow came down the stairs at some point. It bristled at Kai, but unlike during the day, it didn't adopt an attacking stance.
Marshmallow easily caught Kai's attention. Seeing it was staring at him, he suddenly grinned at it, causing it to bristle even further and look like a snowball.
About 30 seconds passed, yet his gaze remained fixated on the doll, causing Scott to feel nervous. "That's the male doll Cecily gifted me a long time ago. You'd better not tell me something's wrong with it!"
Hector instantly recalled the suspicions he had regarding Cecily's doll room today.
However, Kai averted his gaze from the doll and looked at Scott, saying, "Well… Nothing's wrong with it." The doll was simply covered in Scott's scent, which was normal because any item would take on a person's scent after being in one's possession for a long time.
Ultimately, Kai was only a young wyrm. He could win against any spirits if he encountered them, but his skills in mystic arts were rather amateur. Thus, he couldn't detect the anomaly of a doll with Scott's scent.
At that point, Scott was getting anxious at the lack of answers. Then, Hector piped up…
