NovelStartChapter 1021 The Return of the Mammon Zachary observed his surroundings. Ever since being trapped by Maria, he knew how the ghost trap worked. This was something easy for him! He continued to walk as if he did not realize something was wrong. Suddenly, a female spirit appeared under the same street light. Her face looked eerily pale under the light; if he looked up, he would see someone familiar! “Zachary Zachary!” She called out to him. He ignored her and continued to walk, even though he was in a loop. The spirit continued to follow him. As long as he did not look back, his three vital fires would be burning. The spirit was enraged at him for ignoring her. She came closer to him, and she purposely created some faint footstep sounds behind him. He still did not look back.
Can this spirit run fast like the other one? Or can she take my life away? If she can run fast, I'll lose some time if | kick her now.

He had packed all the talismans along the way, and he spent the entire noon trying to catch her with the help of those talismans. The spirit could not immediately take his life as his energy was overwhelming. She stared at his back and pressed on his shoulder. He felt it, but he did not look back. He peeked and saw a pale hand with long manicured nails. He instantly grabbed her hand and threw her to the ground.
Before she could react, she was on the ground. And he pasted talismans all over her. She groaned as she was burned. “Ah!” He glanced at her and snorted, “You're pretty dumb,” She yelled, “Zachary, how dare you treat me like this?” He was stunned when he saw her face! It belonged to his mother! Wait, isn’t Mommy in jail? When did she die here? He was distracted for a moment. After all, he was just a kid, and he did not know how to feel facing his mother’s death. “Why are you here?” he asked.
She said, “Help me up.” She sneered, “| haven't been seeing you for years. And you're capturing ghosts now!” He stared at her hand in silence. She changed her tone and said, “Zachary, | was so miserable. No one knew that | was dead. Why didn’t you visit me?” She cried as she cried toward him; she was about to grab his pants.
The next moment, her hand was covered with a talisman, and Zachary stepped on her! “Ah!” she yelled again. He snorted, “You're smart, but not enough.” This was not his mother. His mother would not call him by his name: sometimes she would even forget how to address him. Usually she would call him “Zac” in front of his grandparents. But when no one was around, she would only say. “Hey, come over here.” The spirit was not her mother, as she called him by his full name.
Based on the details, he concluded that this spirit could confuse people. He once heard the elder say, “Never answer if someone calls out your name in the street in the middle of the night. Because a type of ghost could confuse humans and pretend to be someone close to them, He asked, “What's your last word?” Her face darkened, and she tried to bite him with her bloody mouth.
He reacted quicker and stepped on her forehead, and he put a talisman into her mouth.

Zachary looked at the label of the street light; it was still the same. But as he moved toward the next one, the label was different.
He managed to break out of the trap. It was easier than he expected. “So, this is my inner demon.” He was no longer that pitiful child waiting for love.
Someone ran toward him from far away, and he saw Lilly hugging a black thing. She said. “Zachary!” Pablo was behind Lilly, and he knew that the Mammon had returned with just one look. He did not expect it to happen faster than Asmodeus, and he was just in child form.
