Stephanie gestured to Claire and Lily, and they continued their digging. They had found Marc's complete skeleton, and now they just had to commit it to the flames. Stephanie immediately screamed at Cindy, telling her to stay inside the protective circle until the entire ritual was complete. But then, the sound of banging on the door coming from the basement suddenly quieted, and the very next moment, Marc's spirit abruptly entered the house by way of the chimney. Cindy had sealed all the windows and doors of the house with salt, but she had forgotten to cover the chimney, a loophole that Marc's spirit took advantage of to enter the house and stop Claire and Lily. The spirit immediately transformed into its demonic avatar: the same long hair, the face crushed like a stone, the same wood cutter, and it immediately attacked Claire. Claire somehow managed to save herself from the demonic spirit's strike, but the wood cutter still left a cut on her hand, causing bleeding to start. Screaming and commotion erupted throughout the house. When Lily saw Claire injured, she threw the bottle of salt kept nearby at the spirit, but the spirit was so enraged at that moment that throwing salt at it had no impact, and it lunged to attack Lily.
Stephanie immediately invoked the Holy Spirit to light the sacred fire. But in the meantime, the spirit grabbed Lily and slammed her to the ground, severely injuring Lily and knocking her unconscious. Then Marc's spirit lunged towards Stephanie to catch her, but Stephanie was wearing an enchanted cross, which is why it could not harm her. Enraged by this, Marc's spirit once again targeted Claire and grabbed her by the foot, dragging her across the floor. Just then, Stephanie, with the help of the Holy Spirit, ignited the sacred fire and ran towards Marc's skeleton to commit it to the flames, but then:
"If you set my skeleton on fire, I will cut your friend Claire's body into so many pieces that you will be left counting them and won't be able to understand which piece belongs where," the spirit threatened Stephanie, placing its wood cutter on Claire's throat.
Seeing her friend Claire caught in the spirit's clutches like this, Stephanie's breath caught, and she stood frozen in her place like a statue.
"Look, let go of Claire. What has she done to you? And we are all just trying to send you to the afterlife," Stephanie said, attempting to reason with the spirit.
"Who are you to send me to the afterlife? Did I ask you for help? Now, quietly extinguish that sacred fire and bury my skeleton back in the earth. Otherwise, I will bury all of you in this very earth, and after that, when Cindy comes out of this protective circle, I will slowly tear off her clothes and play with her delicate parts and turn her from a bud into a flower. Besides, I enjoy putting my penis in the pussy and anal of young, youthful, and virgin girls," the spirit threatened Stephanie.
The next moment, Claire kicked the spirit with her other foot and tried to break free from its grip, but she was unsuccessful. Cindy was still standing in the protective circle, praying to Jesus that The Ghost Mentors team would be safe, but she was deeply terrified and trembling. When Claire tried to escape from the spirit's clutches, the spirit attacked Claire with its wood cutter, which severed one of Claire's fingers, and Claire screamed in pain. Seeing Claire writhing in agony, Stephanie decided that she would extinguish the sacred fire and also re-bury the remnants of Marc's body in the ground.
"Look, Marc, I'm ready to do everything exactly the way you want—just please leave Claire and Cindy alone. You want Olivia anyway, right? Olivia will be coming back home soon. Then you can have sex with Olivia and fulfill your desire, but please don't hurt my friends or Olivia's children."Stephanie pleaded with Marc's spirit, tears streaming down her face.
By now, a lot of blood had flowed from Claire's cut finger, and she was beginning to lose consciousness. The ghost mentors' team stood helpless before Marc's spirit, completely defeated. Stephanie felt furious with herself for agreeing to solve this case just because Claire and Lily insisted. But the very next moment, Marc's spirit let out a scream.
When Stephanie, Cindy, and Claire opened their tightly shut eyes and looked toward Marc's spirit, they were shocked beyond words. Walter's spirit had appeared—ready to fight Marc's spirit and protect his family.
"Didn't you get enough even after dying once, you bastard?" Marc's spirit growled, trying to threaten Walter's spirit, who was attempting to snatch the woodcutter's tool from him.
"I'm not going anywhere until I drag you to hell. Even if I couldn't stop you when I was alive, I won't let you harm my family now," Walter said, tightening his grip around Marc's neck.
Before everyone's eyes, two powerful spirits clashed. Marc's spirit possessed lust and dark power, while Walter's spirit carried unbreakable determination and the strength of love for his family. Their fight sent shockwaves through the entire house.
Then Walter signaled Stephanie to rush toward Marc's skeleton—and the next second, Stephanie sprinted toward it like a rocket. But Marc's spirit used the shovel lying nearby to strike her, knocking her to the floor. The axe beside her pierced her leg, injuring it badly. She tried to get up, but she couldn't.
Meanwhile, Marc's spirit had been wandering for many years and had captured several other spirits, making his power overwhelming. Slowly, he began overpowering Walter's spirit.
"Stephanie, do something quickly! I can't hold Marc for long!" Walter's spirit shouted.
Despite trying her best, Stephanie couldn't stand; she collapsed again. Seeing Stephanie injured and her father fighting a monstrous spirit to protect their family, Cindy made a decision—she would step out of the protective circle, take the sacred fire from Stephanie, and burn Marc's remains herself.
But just as she stepped forward to leave the circle, Claire screamed loudly, "No, Cindy! Don't come out of the circle! Your life will be in danger!"
Gathering every ounce of strength, Cindy stood up and ran toward Stephanie. Reaching her, she took the sacred fire from Stephanie's hand and sprinted toward Marc's skeleton.
At the same moment, Marc used all his strength to fling Walter's spirit far away and lunged toward Claire to stop her. But Claire met Marc's spirit eye-to-eye and threw the sacred fire onto his skeleton. Instantly, Marc's spirit began burning along with his own remains.
A loud blast echoed—and then everything went silent.
Cindy looked toward her dad. He told her to always stay happy and take care of her mother and brother. Then he thanked the ghost mentors' team for protecting his family, and with that, Walter's spirit disappeared into a white light.
Cindy stepped out of the circle and helped Stephanie up onto the couch, and then Claire brought Lily over as well. After that, Cindy's mom's friend—who was a doctor—arrived and treated everyone. She told Claire that her cut finger would be reattached after a surgery she needed to undergo within 24 hours. But Claire refused immediately, saying she had a very important task to finish first. After bandaging everyone, the doctor left. By then, Lily had also regained consciousness.
"Shit, I missed the whole drama. I swear, if that spirit hadn't attacked me from behind and knocked me out, I would have buried him right there," Lily joked.
Everyone burst into laughter. Stephanie had already called Cindy's class teacher to bring Alex home. Now the house finally looked like a home again, though inside it still felt like a battlefield had just taken place.
"Lily, if you're feeling okay, we still have some pending work to finish. So… shall we go?" Claire asked, looking at her.
"What work? And where are you two planning to go?" Stephanie asked in confusion.
But hearing her question, the two girls only smiled. They asked Stephanie to look after Cindy and Alex, took Walter's car keys, and left. Perhaps, on their way back from Garcie's house the previous day, the two had already made some kind of plan—one they still hadn't revealed to Stephanie.
"You're ready, right, Lily?" Claire asked as they sat in the car.
"Of course I am," Lily replied with a mysterious smile.
Then their car sped off toward the road leading to Garcie's house. As soon as they reached Garcie's place, and the moment Garcie saw them, she hurried downstairs and opened the door.
"Did you two bring Marc's ashes?" Garcie asked excitedly.
Both of them nodded. As soon as they entered, Garcie snatched the box she had given them earlier to collect Marc's remains. Then she laughed and said, "You two are really so naïve. You fell into my trap so easily." But the next moment, when Garcie opened the box and found it empty, her eyes widened in shock. She turned toward the two girls in anger—only to suddenly go still a moment later.
"What are you doing? Put my crystal ball down quietly," Garcie said, staring at the crystal ball in Lily's hand.
"You really thought we would believe your story so easily? You told us fifty percent truth… and fifty percent lies. Yesterday, on our way home, we did a little more digging. And we were helped by the woman who works in your house as a maid—or should I say, by your friend Victoria, whose magic you stole and turned yourself into a black witch. You trapped your own daughter's spirit inside this crystal ball and kept poor Victoria as your servant. But your curse theory didn't make sense to us, and that's why we suspected you. When we searched, we found out that a crystal ball isn't just used for fortune-telling or dark magic—it's also used to trap a spirit. You played a very clever game, but your dark magic backfired, and even though you were in your daughter's body, you started to see yourself in your true age. Right, Garcie… or should I say Diana? Am I right?" Claire said, signaling Lily.
The very next moment, Lily smashed the crystal ball on the floor. It shattered instantly, releasing Garcie's trapped spirit and restoring Victoria's powers. The moment her powers returned, Victoria trapped Diana's spirit inside a nearby mirror. At the same time, Garcie returned to her young form.
Victoria and Garcie thanked Claire and Lily for their help.
"But how did you both find out about my mother Diana?" Garcie asked Claire.
"We just had a suspicion, so after leaving your place, we returned halfway back. That's when we met Victoria. When we requested her to tell us the truth, she told us everything. Victoria may be a witch, but she's a healer—her heart is good, and she used her magic to help people. But Diana betrayed her and stole her powers. But now everything is fine," Claire explained to Garcie.
Then they all turned toward the mirror where Diana's spirit was trapped, begging for forgiveness from Victoria and Garcie and pleading to be set free. But Diana had committed too many sins, and no one helped her. After that, Lily and Claire returned to Cindy's house and told Stephanie everything.
Seeing Claire and Lily's cleverness, Stephanie felt extremely proud of them. Claire, Lily, Stephanie, and Cindy hugged each other tightly. At that moment, the teacher arrived with Alex, and then a call came from the prosecutor's office. They informed Stephanie that the lab results had arrived and the video was confirmed to be genuine. Olivia's release order had been passed, and she would be released by tomorrow morning.
"Looks like all the negativity in this house was because of that spirit. See how everything good started happening the moment the house was freed from it," Stephanie said with a smile.
And with that, the entire house filled with celebration. Everyone began partying. Lily ordered pizza for everyone, and they played music and danced. Deep inside, Claire felt immense happiness—she had kept her promise and played an important role in freeing Cindy from that spirit. Walter's spirit must now be at peace in heaven, watching his family with joy. And tomorrow morning, Olivia would finally return home.
Just then, Stephanie brought Claire out of her thoughts by handing her a slice of pizza, and everyone continued celebrating the happiness of the moment together. But Cindy became quite emotional and hugged the Ghost Mentors team tightly. Lily had already saved all the footage until now, and once Olivia returned tomorrow, the Ghost Mentors team would have to go back home. So tonight was their only night to party, which is why Lily clicked countless pictures of everyone.
But far away—in the underworld of London—a handsome 28-year-old young man in a black overcoat, with burning eyes, roamed the streets, destroying the wandering spirits that haunted the place. And with him was a girl wrapped in black leather black dress—whose name didn't match her personality at all.
